Chapter 1817 Before Corinne could retort, Marvin scolded them both, "Shut up! Do you want to get more beating?!" Lilli ana and Sherlyn shrunk back, wisely choosing not to say anything more.
Corinne was protected by the Holdens; she was no longer someone they could afford to offend.
Marvin adopted a more polite tone as he addressed Corinne. "Corinne, why did you cback? Is it because you miss your old dad?" Corinne felt disgusted at how he could still refer to himself as her father. She smirked coldly and said, ' Mister Carew, please have sself- respect. I do have sbusiness coming back, but seeing your family in this state, it seems I have none now." Sherlyn could not resist adding, "I was right, Dad. I knew she cback just to enjoy our misery!" Marvin was not pleased either. He knew he got beaten up because of Corinne, but he dared not provoke her and remained silent.

Thus, Corinne decided to let them be. Not even sparing them a second glance, she turned and left at a leisurely pace.
No words were exchanged by the Carews until she walked out of the door. Corinne was well aware that Li I liana and Sherlyn would not have anything positive to say once she was gone, but...who cared? Even if she chose not to do anything, their future would not be a pleasant one. They were consumed by greed, and in the end, it would be a vicious cycle of harm.
After leaving the Carews' residence, Corinne made her way to Aaron and Annie's wedding. They both meant a lot to her, and she could not miss their big day.
While walking to her car, she sensed a surge of hostility from behind. She turned around sharply but found no immediate threat. There was only a balloon seller heading in the opposite direction.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. She attributed her overthinking to not being well-rested.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts. However, as she was about to get into her car, she suddenly remembered something, and that caused her to turn her gaze to the balloon seller.
Meanwhile, the Carews were arguing loudly with each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Corinne left, Marvin launched into another round of harsh scolding directed at Lilliana and Sherlyn.
Initially, Lilliana and Sherlyn endured the verbal onslaught in silence. However, as it continued, they reached their breaking point.
Liliiana stood up despite the pain and shouted back at her husband," Marvin Carew, are you done? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? What I'm kind of man are you?! Your wife and daughter faced mistreatment from outsiders, and instead of standing up for US, you've chosen to side with those who tormented us! I want a divorce!" Sherlyn was shocked. She looked at Marvin and Lillians anxiously.
Marvin never expected that Liliiana dared to defy him. After snapping out of his shock, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you got yourself a divorce! Get out of here with your useless daughter!"
Lil liana smirked. "You think I'm going to leave so easily? Don't forget we're legally married. If you want a divorce, you'll have to go through the legal process, and our shared assets will be divided equally!"
Marvin could not believe what he was hearing. He stared at the money- hungry Lilliana and retorted, "You must be dreaming! What shared assets? Those properties were all passed down tofrom my parents! Plus, I've spent so much money on you and Sherlyn over the years that you should be thankful I'm not asking you to payback!" X
