Chapter 391
“An explanation is in order.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. His gaze was focused solely on
Corinne, and he did not even bother to look at Sherlyn’s shy expression. He stretched out his big hand, took the
suitcase from Corinne, and handed it to Bowen, who stood beside him.
He then asked, “What’s all this fuss about?”
As Jeremy asked that question, he placed his arms around Corinne’s waist and pulled her into his arms, as if worried
that she might leave for real.
Corinne felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hug her in front of other people, so she pushed his chest to
try and break free. Alas, she could not do so, and she could only shrug helplessly as she spread his arms and began
explaining.
“Well, it all started when you went to the Carews to fetch your bride, which you were supposed to do by going
through the main entrance. However, you went through the back door and brought me away! Now that this secret
has been exposed and they found out that you picked up the wrong person that day, Sherlyn came to settle scores
with me and demanded that I return the position of Missus Holden to her. My only choice. now is to move away!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherlyn frowned at Corinne’s blunt way of putting things and secretly shot her an unhappy look before following on
from where Corinne left off.
“My sister is right. The woman you were supposed to marry in the beginning was me. It’s due to my sister’s
penchant for
troublemaking and taking advantage of other people that led to the present misunderstanding!xo.com fast

“I came to meet her today because I felt she’s an ignorant girl who has never seen the world because of her
countryside upbringing. I was concerned that it’d only embarrass the Holdens if she were allowed to keep staying
here, and I believe it’s best that she and I switch places as it’ll be more fitting of our respective status.”
Jeremy listened and glanced suspiciously at Sherlyn. At that moment, he finally understood why Corinne’s family
showed up uninvited that day. The polite expression that he had disappeared in an instant.
Rather than looking at Sherlyn, he gazed down at the girl in his arms and asked unhappily, “Why did you have to
make a fuss when they’re the ones who are causing trouble?”
Corinne pouted. “I didn’t make a fuss! You just married the wrong person! She’s the one you should have married,
and she even wore a wedding dress to wait for you at their home that day!”
Jeremy’s expression sank. “Enough with that nonsense.”
Despite his anger, he did not speak too harshly to Corinne but instead toned his anger down and talked to her as if
he was instructing a child. He wanted her to know just how serious the matter was, but at the same time, he was
afraid that he
would scare her a little too much.
Corinne frowned and seemed a little upset.
He did not seem interested to know whether he had chosen the wrong person and merely asked her softly, “What
did you
eat today?”
The sudden appearance of several uninvited guests who came to stir trouble that day made him wonder if Corinne
had eaten her meals.
Corinne replied truthfully, “I ate a ham sandwich this
morning and some pasta at noon. I haven’t had dinner yet.”
After meeting the Carews in the morning, she spent the rest of the day upstairs. Bowen had her brunch delivered to
her room, and she was quite full from the food.
Jeremy seemed relieved that she had eaten, and his expression softened slightly. “I see. What would you like for
dinner then?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherlyn stared from the side as Jeremy gave her the cold shoulder while speaking to Corinne in a very gentle and
accommodating manner. She became irate when she saw Corinne was receiving the tender, loving care that should
have belonged to her.
When she finally could not stand it anymore, she had a sudden thought and suggested, “Mister Jeremy, I think we
should let Corinne leave while it’s still early. If you let her stay for
dinner, it’ll be unsafe for her to bring her luggage when it’s too late.”
Jeremy looked at Sherlyn coldly and said, “If she leaves, you’ll be sent away all the same.”
Sherlyn was stunned, feeling her ego take a hit. “W-why? Didn’t you fall for me once before, Mister Jeremy? You
can’t let Corinne bewitch you! She might look like a good person, but she’s one of the evilest schemers ever! She’s
the best at pretending to be innocent and playing the victim!”

Lilliana was also a little anxious as she said, “My dear son-in- law, you need to listen to your mother-in-law when she
says. you’ve made a terrible mistake. The one you intended to marry is Sherlyn, not Corinne!”
Marvin had his ‘I-am-your-father-in-law’ attitude all the same and spoke authoritatively, “Listen to me, my son-in-
law! You were supposed to marry my eldest daughter, Sherlyn, and you chose my younger daughter, Corinne, by
mistake on the wedding day! This is a misunderstanding that we must correct!”
