Chapter 339
However, Pamela was wrong on one point–Corinne did love money, and very much so, though the only money she
liked was that which was earned through her abilities, and not money obtained by opportunistic means such as
marrying a man or pleasing him.
On the other end of the phone, Greg muttered angrily and said, “Come on! Is there any woman who doesn’t like
money? How can an old woman like you be so naive to believexo.com fast update that there are women who
don’t like money? That Corinne girl must’ve put a spell on you or something!”
Pamela kept quiet as if to take a deep breath. Her voice became a little sullen, and it sounded like she was trying to
muster some strength. Even her tone sounded a little off–color. “Try to stay home these couple of days. If you need
to go out, you must remember to keep safe at all times. Jeremy will probably be able to deal with this hubbub on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe internet. I have something to take care of right now, so let’s talk another time.”
Corinne responded obediently. “Okay, Grandma. Talk to you soon.”
Before she ended the call, she heard Pamela’s roar from the other side. “D*mn you, Greg! Who did you just call
naive?”
The old man then yelled in pain. “Agh! Let go, Pamela! I’m a sick man!”
“Oh, so you’re aware that you’re sick? You seem a little too energetic today, you old geezer!”
The phone call ended there and the rest of the conversation was left unheard.
Corinne was amused that the old couple acted like children. Though they sounded like they were arguing, their
relationship seemed really strong, and it was not often that one saw such a happy couple.
At that moment, a video call notification popped up from the messaging app on her computer and the chat box
appeared too.
It turned out to be Sherlyn, and Corinne narrowed her eyes as she looked at the screen. Ever since she found out
that she was unrelated to the Carews, she never contacted them again. She felt that there was no reason to do so
since there was no love lost between her and them. In addition, they also seemed to feel that her existence was
superfluous.
Therefore, Sherlyn must have had a reason for calling her.
After thinking about whether or not to accept the call, Corinne decided to answer it. However, she did not turn on
her camera. After all, she was at the Holdens, and there was luxury all around her. It would lead to yet another
issue if Sherlyn were to see all of that.
Sherlyn’s face soon appeared on the computer screen, and she pointed to the camera while turning her head to
say to Marvin, “Dad, she answered the call!”
Marvin immediately leaned in front of the camera, glared at her, and asked in a loud voice, “Where the hell have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou been these days, Corinne? You haven’t come home once, and you never pick up our calls!”
In the past, Corinne would try to be respectful and polite to Marvin even though she did not feel

particularly attached to him, since she believed him to be her biological father at the time. After finding out that she
was completely unrelated to him by blood, she ditched whatever remaining bit of respect and politeness that she
had toward him.
Corinne responded calmly, “Did you want something from me?”
Marvin scolded her. “What kind of attitude is that? You went into hiding after doing all sorts of shameful acts, and
now, our family has lost our dignity and reputation! We’re making the headlines now, too! People have sent wreaths
and blades to our home! Are you trying to shorten my life?” Corinne was stunned for a moment. Those social
media users were pretty quick to find out where the Carews lived. It was clear that someone ‘in the know‘ had
fanned the flames on the internet
and leaked those rumors.
Perhaps it was only a matter of time before her marriage with Jeremy would be revealed.
