Chapter 428
Sherlyn snapped out of the shock and looked enviously at Corinne. “Huh! Where else could she have gotten the money from if not by deceiving Jeremy to give her some?” she said saltily.
Lilliana, of course, thought the same way as her. “Corinne, you shouldn’t use other people’s money to clean up your mess. Aren’t you afraid that the Holden family would look into this and punish you if they found out you use their money without their permission?”
Corinne smiled. “Aunt Lilliana, you seem to have forgotten something very important. Jeremy
is
my husband so technically speaking, his money is also my money. Take yourself for
example, has your husband ever asked you to give back all the money you’ve spent that was his, to begin with?”
Lillian’s face first became pale with shock then black with anger. She was so angry that she could not think of a comeback.
Sherlyn’s face looked even more terrible than her mother’s. She thought that the Holden family would look down on Corinne who grew up in the countryside and that they would eventually chase her out of the house. She did not expect Corinne to be able to control such a large sum of the Holden family’s money, to the extent that she began to doubt everything about her life.
A black luxury minivan was parked not far from where the Carew’s house was. After coming out of the house, Corinne slid open the car door and got into the minivan.
Inside, Xante was seated in the driver’s seat and was reapplying her lipstick with the help of the rearview mirror while Aaron was seated in the front passenger seat playing a game on his smartphone to pass the time.
Aaron immediately exited the game when he saw Corinne was back. He turned around and asked, “Boss, sorry to butt in your business but why do you still treat the Carews so nice when they were nothing but horrible to you? Besides, I’m sure it’ll be easy for you to take your revenge now.”
Corinne massaged her temples. She was exhausted so she leaned against the leather seat and closed her eyes. She stayed like that for a moment before saying softly, “My mom must’ve been desperate back then for her to seek help from an old classmate who she didn’t see for so many years. It doesn’t matter why Mister Carew decided to take me in but for him to risk his life to help my mother when she was at her most helpless is something I’m grateful for. From now on, as long as the Carews don’t bother me, I won’t seek revenge for what they have done to me in the past.”
