Marvin then ordered angrily, “Come back here right now and get rid of all the wreaths in front of the house. Then
you need to figure things out on your own and find a way to admit your mistakes to the media. Make sure you ask
for everyone’s forgiveness! I don’t want our family to be dragged through the mud along with you!”
Corinne listened calmly and felt like laughing.xo.com fast update
An old lady who had known her for less than a couple of months believed firmly in her innocence, going so far as to
advise her not to go out in the coming days and be extra careful of her safety. On the other hand, her father
wanted to thrust her into the public eye and let the netizens vent their anger so he could disassociate himself from
her.
The difference was simply too huge.
Marvin had always treated her like that since she was a child. Whenever something bad happened, his first act
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould be to accuse her, reproach her, and scold her indiscriminately. He never cared to ask her for the truth of the
matter, and he was never concerned as to whether someone had harmed her or accused her wrongly.
-Not once did he ever stop to care for her.
When she was young, she often wondered why her father was different from other people’s fathers. She never felt
any of that fatherly love that her classmates so often wrote about in their
essays.
However, it would be wrong to say that Marvin was different from other people’s fathers. Judging from the way he
treated Sherlyn, he could be regarded as a father who loved his daughter. He would forgive whatever mistakes
Sherlyn made, and he would be angry at her for only a short time. Once he forgave her, he would still love Sherlyn
as much as he did before.
The same could not be said for Corinne.
At long last, she finally understood why Marvin treated her coldly–he always knew that Corinne was not his
daughter, hence the complete lack of fatherly love toward her. The most she would get was a bit of his pity.
‘Then again, if Marvin knew from the beginning that I’m not related to him by blood, and if he never wanted to
adopt me in the first place, why did he bring me home from the hospital? Why would he take me in without
intending to raise me properly and instead just abandon me in the countryside to be taken care of by other
people?‘
Those questions made Corinne feel puzzled.
Once the cyberbullying incident was behind her, she would find time to go back home and investigate Marvin’s past.
When Corinne still did not answer her, Marvin lashed out furiously. “Have you gone deaf, Corinne? Didn’t you hear
what I said? Come back here and clean up this mess you made!”
Corinne came back to her senses and replied, “Yes, I heard you. But no, I won’t be going back. I’m busy. I’ll send
someone over to deal with the wreaths, and I’ll make sure that your family won’t
receive such strange items again. If that’s all, then I’m hanging up.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarvin was stunned to hear her cold attitude, and he felt that it was a little different compared to before. He then
remarked unhappily, “Why are you talking with me with that kind of attitude?”
Corinne answered lazily, “Oh? What’s wrong with my attitude? Didn’t I already promise you that I’ll solve this matter
that you complained about? Isn’t that good enough for you?”
Marvin gritted his teeth angrily. “You’ve lost it, Corinne! You’re becoming much ruder than before! You don’t even
call me ‘Dad‘ when you talk to me! You’re rebelling now!”
“Let me talk to her!” Sherlyn took the phone, raised her makeup–laden face, and stared disdainfully
at the camera.
“You’re a bringer of bad luck, Corinne! Life has been the worst ever since you came into the city from the
countryside! You ruined my career a while ago, and now, everyone’s found out that the person who staged that
accident is my sister! I’m being smeared, slandered, and cursed by everyone, and they’re putting me on the same
level as you! I’m so ashamed! The point is, you need to settle this for me right away and go back to your country
home! We don’t want you to stay in the city and bring bad luck to our family! Do I make myself clear?”
Corinne chuckled softly. “If I recall, you were the one who ruined your career. And who are you to tell me to go
back to the countryside?”
