Chapter 582

Maxwell felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of that gaze and got slightly

stunned as he was taken aback.

He was attracted by a familiar bearing of the girl who was around Anya’s age. He became slightly

dazed as if he thought of the past. However, he did not look at the girl for too long, and he walked

straight out the entrance.

Corinne’s gaze did not follow him to continue observing either. Her complicated expression finally

returned to calmness.

Maxwell once hurt and betrayed her mother, giving her mother no way out but to run away from home

with her when she was still at a very young age. That was why Edgar disliked him so much!

Corinne had no memories of her father, not even a blurry shadow. She figured this jerk

probably did not take good care of her much when she was a child. Therefore, for a child, there was

nothing to remember about him!

“Emily!”

Just when Corinne was spacing out and lost in thoughts, a pair of aged hands suddenly grabbed her

tightly! She was shocked and she looked up to see that it was an old lady.

The old lady looked worried as she looked at her. “Emily, why are you home so late after school? You

went somewhere to play again, didn’t you?”

Corinne was stunned, “Ma’am, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else-

The old lady seemed to not hear what she said. She just went on talking to herself, “Emily, you’re not

allowed to come home so late in the future. You’ll make your father and I worry!”

At that moment, Maxwell already got to the door, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard

his mother-in-law calling out Emilly’s name. He turned around and saw his mother- in-law, Gertrude,

was talking to the girl earlier who had an outstanding air to her

Corinne said a little helplessly, “Ma’am, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not the Emily you’re

looking for!”

The old lady who looked kind furrowed her eyebrows and started lecturing her, “Enough, Emily. Stop

going against your father and me! You have to listen to us. You’re not allowed to hang out with that brat

from the Riveras anymore! You can tell he’s a heartless person by the look on his face. You’ll get hurt if

you get together with him!”

Both Maxwell and Corinne were at a loss for words.

Corinne could tell the old lady’s identity by inferring from what she said. The old lady was Maxwell’s

wife, which meant she was Corinne’s grandmother.

Her grandmother seemed to have mistaken her for her mother. Emily was her mother’s name.

Sunny ran over to pull the old lady away. “Grandma, you got the wrong person again. She’s my friend

and not Emily!”

Gertrude shook her head and said in a slightly eager and excited voice, “Emily! She’s Emily! Emily is

back!”

Sunny felt hopeless. “Grandma, she is not!”

Edgar cleared his throat loudly, then he came to them. “Stop it, Gertrude! You’re frightening the

children!”

Gertrude looked at Edgar, tears of sorrow welling in her eyes. “Edgar, it’s Emily! She’s back. Emily is

back.”

“Alright, alright. She’s back, she’s back!” said Edgar, going along with her. He seemed to have gotten

used to that. He walked over and pulled his wife to his side before he looked to see the young girl his

wife insisted on pointing at. Edgar was stunned. Which family was she from? How could she look so

similar?

Corinne blinked. Because she truly felt a little awkward being stared at, she smiled and let out a peal of

forced laughter.

Gertrude’s eyes were reddened and her face was covered in tears. “Edgar, it’s Emily! Look, Emily has

returned.”

Edgar regained his senses and sighed deeply. “Mm-hmm. I saw it. I did. Gertrude, it’s time to take your

medication. Let’s go. I’ll take you to first have your medication, then we’ll come and see Emily after

that.’

He coaxed his wife while making her turn around. He was trying to first calm his wife down. Corinne

looked at their backs with slight confusion and mixed feelings.
