Chapter 386
The fact that Corinne lowered her head seemed to have made Sherlyn haughtier. “How do we plan to punish you?
Well, that depends on my mood and how sincere you are in apologizing to us.”
At that moment, Lilliana sighed helplessly and gently persuaded her daughter, “Forget it, Sherlyn. Corinne is your
sister after all, so you shouldn’t punish her.”
“I
She turned toward Corinne and said with mock compassion, Corinne, Sherlyn could never return to the peak of her
career because you took her place as Missus Holden for so long. But it’s okay, we won’t ask you to compensate her
for the loss ‘ cause we’ll just put it down as you being young and stupid. However, you’ll need to give back the title
of Missus Holden to Sherlyn, so it’ll be great if you can just pack up your things and leave her without a fuss. Of
course, you’ll need to promise us you’ll never show your face here again and stop coming in between Jeremy and
Sherlyn. I guarantee you we’ll let bygones be bygones if you just do as I said.”
“But, Mom…that’s going too easy on her!” whined Sherlyn.
Lilliana gave her a look and lectured her, “Sherlyn, Corinne is your sister. Even if you’re not doing it for her, you

From the look Lilliana gave Sherlyn, the latter understood that her mother wanted her to be patient. It was more
important to get rid of Corinne from the Holdens‘ estate because there would be plenty of time later to punish her.
Thus, Sherlyn did not insist. She rolled her eyes at Corinne and said nothing for she had made up her mind to let

handle everything.
Marvin looked at his kind wife, and he felt both touched and heartbroken. There was also a little guilt mixed in for
wrongly blaming her in the past. He held her hand, sighed, and said, ” Lilliana, I’m sorry what I’ve put you and
Sherlyn through. I know what Corinne did was horrible, but thank you for showing mercy to this ungrateful child of
mine for my sake.”
“Oh Marvin, there’s no need to thank us! We’re family after all! ” said Lilliana gently. However, anyone there–except
for Marvin and Sherlyn–could tell she was only putting up an act.
The guilt in Marvin’s heart acted as fuel to his anger. He glared at the irksome Corinne and shouted angrily, “You
ungrateful child! What are you waiting for? You should thank your Aunt Lilliana for being so magnanimous! Let me
tell you
something: You better not screw this up. Otherwise, no matter how much she’s willing to forgive you, I’ll make sure
you get your just punishment!”
Corinne got up from the sofa and bowed sincerely. “Thank you, Aunt Lilliana, for being so magnanimous. I’m so
grateful that you’re willing to let the matter slide and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. Thank you so
much! Don’t you worry, I know what I did wrong, and I’ll move out right away.”
Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn were stunned by Corinne’s apology.
Lilliana thought that Corinne would never leave the place without a fight. Why would anyone, when she used every
trick possible to secure her place as Missus Holden in the first.

place? Therefore, it would be more understandable if Corinne had to be dragged out of the house kicking and
screaming.
Lilliana truthfully preferred for that to happen as she would be able to show Marvin just how kind she was compared
to the evil Corinne. That was why she did not know how to react when Corinne agreed to move out of the house
obediently.
Corinne slowly raised her head when she did not hear anything from the three of them. “Huh? Why are you all
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlooking at me like that? Are you not happy that I’ve agreed to move out? If that’s the case, how about I stay here
with Sherlyn so that I can take care of her to atone for my sins?” she asked innocently.
Sherlyn was the first to react. “Hmph! I don’t need you to take care of me, Corinne. You better not think of pulling
any tricks on me. You have to move out no matter what, but before you do that, you have to explain to Jeremy
what happened. Don’t you dare gloss over any facts!”
Corinne nodded and said, “Yes, of course. But Jeremy is still working right now, and it would be rude of me to bother
him when he’s so busy. I’ll wait until he gets home from work and then explain everything to him then.”
“What? You’re going to wait for him to come home?” Sherlyn frowned unhappily. She wished for nothing more than
for Corinne to move out at that moment. Even the thought of it brought joy to her heart.
“Then… Do you want me to call him now? Though, I should tell you that he doesn’t like it when people bother him
while he’s working. He might take his anger out of me and all of you when he’s home if the call pulls him out of
work,” said
Corinne sadly.
Sherlyn instinctively exchanged a glance with Lilliana, and the two of them started to have some hesitations.
After thinking about it, Sherlyn angrily grumbled, “Fine! We’ll wait for him to come home, but you need to go pack
your
things now so that you can leave after you’ve explained everything to him.”
