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

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.

'D*mmit! Things weren't supposed to turn out this way,' thought Sherlyn.

Corinne looked at her watch nonchalantly and then yawned listlessly. "It's getting late so I won't stay for lunch. As for the check, well, you shouldn't care where the money comes from as long as you got it. If you think the money is too little, then grow a backbone and don't spend any of it."

Both Sherlyn and Lilliana did not dare to speak because they did not want Corinne to think they would not spend the money on the check. Even if the Holden family asked about the money in the future, all the signs would point to Corinne using it without their permission; the Carew had nothing to do with it so it was better to spend the money and worry about the consequences later.

Marvin did not say anything too. He quietly pocketed the check and let the burly men take away the engagement gifts. His thinking was - Corinne could do whatever the h*ll she wanted now that she gave him so much money.

In the end, the burly men hired by Corinne successfully took away all of the engagement gifts and the painting 'Geese in Late Autumn' painted by her late mother, Nellie Nympahea, which was given to Corinne by Jeremy.

From now on, Corinne and the Carew would have no ties with each other. They would all be living their own separate lives.

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.
