Chapter 424

Although the Carews lived in a decent residential area and always used expensive items which gave people the

impression that they were quite rich it was all a lie. Their lives were not as glamorous as they made it out to be.

Marvin inherited some properties from the older generation, but those properties were not in prime locations. It

would be difficult for him to sell them should he need some cash.xo.com fast update

Over the years, Marvin rented out those properties to other people, but the rent received was only a drop in the

bucket for his family’s expenses; it was not enough to satisfy the family’s vanity and their penchant for keeping up

with the Joneses.

Previously, they could count on Sherlyn’s acting money to live a glamorous life but now she was canceled and could

no longer get an acting job. In other words, they were doing nothing but frittering away whatever little fortune they

had left.

The engagement gifts given by Jeremy were their only hope to continue living their glamorous life so it stood to

reason they would be unwilling to let Corinne take them back.

Marvin tried his hardest to free himself from his youngest daughter’s restraint. However, no matter how much

force he exerted, he could not shake free from her. He – who always treated women as less than would never stand

for this kind

of humiliation.

“You ungrateful child! Isn’t it enough that you forgot all about me after you married into a wealthy family but now

you want to take back the engagement gifts? Well, let me tell you

something, don’t even think about it! Since time immemorial, the engagement gifts were given to the bride’s

parents and do you know why? It’s because the father alone has the right to decide how the engagement gifts

would be used so you better let go of my hand now!”

Instead of letting him go, Corinne tightened her grip around Marvin’s wrist. “Mister Carew, I’m going to ask you one

last time. Are we or are we not going to have a little talk in private?

Marvin gritted his teeth in pain, feeling that the bones in his wrist were about to be crushed. He never knew Corinne

— who seemed so powerless to him was so strong.

“Fine! Just let go of me and we can talk in my study!”

Only then did Corinne let go of his wrist. She then smiled and said, “Good. Let’s go to your study then. Please lead

the way.”

Marvin shook his wrist to drive out the soreness. He then glared at Corinne angrily before turning around to take

her upstairs to the study.

Sherlyn was a little worried that Corinne would brainwash Marvin with her sweet words so she stopped him and said

anxiously, “Dad, don’t listen to her. There’s no need for you to have a little talk with her. The only way to deal with

ungrateful and heartless daughter as she is to chase her out of the house.”

Marvin frowned. He was not in agreement with Sherlyn. No matter how presumptuous Corinne was, she was still

Jeremy’s wife. Chasing her out of the house would not be a problem. He was more afraid of what would come next

should she go home crying to Jeremy. He could not afford to be beaten up by

Jeremy’s men again.

Lilliana was also worried about leaving Marvin alone with Corinne. ‘Who knows what trick that girl’s hiding up her

sleeves this time,’ she thought.

“Marvin, I think Corinne,” she started to say but Marvin simply waved her away as if she was some kind of annoying

fly. “That’s enough! The two of you shouldn’t meddle in this. If she wants to talk then let her talk! I, for one, want to

see what she has to say for herself!”

Both Sherlyn and Lilliana were speechless. They failed to stop Marvin and Corinne and could only watch as the two

of them went up to the study.

In the study.

Marvin sat down behind the desk authoritatively and asked with a straight face, “Well, spit it out now. What do you

want to talk to me about?”

Without waiting for an invitation, Corinne pulled out a chair and sat down. “Mister Carew, be honest with me.”
