The fact that Corinne lowered her head seemed to have made Sherlyn haughtier. “How do we plan topunish 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 thepeak of her career because you took her place as Missus Holden for so long. But it’s okay, we won’task 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 justpack up your things and leave her without a fuss. Of course, you’ll need to promise us you’ll nevershow your face here again and stop coming in between Jeremy and Sherlyn. I guarantee you we’ll letbygones 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 forher, you should do it for your father’s sake.”

From the look Lilliana gave Sherlyn, the latter understood that her mother wanted her to be patient. Itwas more important to get rid of Corinne from the Holdens‘ estate because there would be plenty oftime later to punish her.

Thus, Sherlyn did not insist. She rolled her eyes at Corinne and said nothing for she had made up hermind to let Lilliana

handle everything.

Marvin looked at his kind wife, and he felt both touched and heartbroken. There was also a little guiltmixed in for wrongly blaming her in the past. He held her hand, sighed, and said, ” Lilliana, I’m sorrywhat I’ve put you and Sherlyn through. I know what Corinne did was horrible, but thank you for showingmercy 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, anyonethere–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 shoutedangrily, “You ungrateful child! What are you waiting for? You should thank your Aunt Lilliana for beingso magnanimous! Let me tell you

something: You better not screw this up. Otherwise, no matter how much she’s willing to forgive you, I’llmake sure you get your just punishment!”

Corinne got up from the sofa and bowed sincerely. “Thank you, Aunt Lilliana, for being somagnanimous. I’m so grateful that you’re willing to let the matter slide and give me a chance to turnover a new leaf. Thank you so much! Don’t you worry, I know what I did wrong, and I’ll move out rightaway.”

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 sheused 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 housekicking and screaming.

Lilliana truthfully preferred for that to happen as she would be able to show Marvin just how kind shewas compared to the evil Corinne. That was why she did not know how to react when Corinne agreedto move out of the house obediently.

Corinne slowly raised her head when she did not hear anything from the three of them. “Huh? Why areyou all looking at me like that? Are you not happy that I’ve agreed to move out? If that’s the case, howabout I stay here with Sherlyn so that I can take care of her to atone for my sins?” she askedinnocently.

Sherlyn was the first to react. “Hmph! I don’t need you to take care of me, Corinne. You better not thinkof pulling any tricks on me. You have to move out no matter what, but before you do that, you have toexplain 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 ofme to bother him when he’s so busy. I’ll wait until he gets home from work and then explain everythingto him then.”

“What? You’re going to wait for him to come home?” Sherlyn frowned unhappily. She wished fornothing more than for Corinne to move out at that moment. Even the thought of it brought joy to herheart.

“Then… Do you want me to call him now? Though, I should tell you that he doesn’t like it when peoplebother him while he’s working. He might take his anger out of me and all of you when he’s home if thecall pulls him out of work,” said

Corinne sadly.

Sherlyn instinctively exchanged a glance with Lilliana, and the two of them started to have somehesitations.

After thinking about it, Sherlyn angrily grumbled, “Fine! We’ll wait for him to come home, but you needto go pack your

things now so that you can leave after you’ve explained everything to him.”
