The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1778

It finally dawned on Lilliana just how serious the situation was when she heard what Sherlyn said.

"Sherlyn, I'm going home right now. Make sure your father doesn't meet those women before then, okay?"

Sherlyn nodded. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do."

After hanging up on her mother, Sherlyn called her father.

Marvin was out fishing, and he finally got a catch when his ringing phone scared the fish away.

"Why are you calling me?" he said irritatedly into the phone. "You scared all the fish away!"

Sherlyn had been depending on Marvin ever since she could not get a job. He did not dote on her like he used to, so she was naturally humble toward him.

"Dad, I'm just calling to ask when you'll be back."

Marvin scoffed and said, "I was going to stay out here for some time, but you ruined the mood for me, so I'm going home now! Tell your mother I expect a pork roast to be waiting on the table for me when I get home!"

Sherlyn immediately started panicking when she heard Marvin would be home soon.

Even though Marvin was not super rich, he had some properties left by his father. The rent alone could guarantee the entire family an easy life. Sherlyn was hoping to inherit those properties after her father's passing. Thus, she would never want to leave home.

"Dad, how can you say that about me? It's not like I'm not getting a job on purpose. You know I've been going to casting calls every day. It takes time to get a movie role! I'm confident that one day, a director is going to hire me!"

This made Marvin even more annoyed. "You need to wake up to the fact that no movie director ever wants to hire you anymore! Or have you forgotten that you crossed Corinne? She's married into the Holden family, and you know how powerful that family is! She only needs to have a word with all the movie directors to have them never sign you on! I highly suggest that you face the reality and get some other run-of-the-mill job instead."

Sherlyn could not help but get angry at what Marvin said. Even at this moment, she still felt Corinne had stolen what should have been hers in the first place. She was dead sure Jeremy meant to marry her instead of Corinne.

'That d*mn Corinne! Not only did she steal my life, but she's using the Holden family to kill off my career. Why won't she just drop dead?!'
