Chapter 376
It did not make any difference which of Marvin’s daughters was married into the Holden family because it would still
make him Jeremy’s father–in–law. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted his favorite daughter–Sherlyn–to
become Jeremy’s wife.
Marvin did not care much for Corinne since they never lived together as a family. No, she was raised in the
countryside – away from him–so even if she married into a wealthy family, he would not get jacksh*t.
‘That little brat has been hiding in the Holdens‘ estate since she married into the family. She didn’t even visit us
once! What an ungrateful child she is!‘ thought Marvin.
Marvin felt that it would be better if Sherlyn were the one who married Jeremy so that he, as her father, could
share the glory with his daughter.
The three members of the Carew family discussed how to make Corinne pay for her insolence when Anya silently
got up and left their place with a smug smile on her face. Her objective of visiting the Carew family had been

home
country.
To get Greg off his back about marriage, Jeremy came up with a plan to find a random woman who would be willing
to go into a fake marriage with him. Initially, he found a woman named Sophia who came from a long line of
martial artists in a
apter 358
country called Cativa.
However, Lady Luck must not be smiling down on Sophia that day because her plane was delayed due to bad
weather, so she missed the engagement party with Jeremy.
Due to this, Jeremy–in his desperation–had no choice but to rope Corinne into being his fiancee. As for how he did
that, Anya did not know.
However, Anya learned Sherlyn had officially announced she was to wed and quit the entertainment industry after
Jeremy sent Tommy to deliver the engagement gift to the Carews. Something must have happened in between
because, for reasons unknown to her, Corinne – and not Sherlyn–was the one who married into the Holden family.
Therefore, Anya could not help but think that Corinne, in a bid to marry into a wealthy family, must have done
something to Sherlyn so that Jeremy would choose to marry her instead.
Anya had hired someone to look into the matter and learned that the Carew family did hold a wedding banquet for
Sherlyn that day. They made the whole thing as high–profile as
possible, and they claimed that their eldest daughter was going to marry Jeremy, the heir of the most notable
family in the whole city.
However, Jeremy never went to the wedding banquet. It was all for naught, and thus, Sherlyn and her parents
became a laughingstock of their friends and relatives. After finding this out, Anya decided to use this information to
drive a wedge between Corinne and her adopted family. It would be best if Sherlyn could swap places with Corinne!
Anya could tell with one glance that Sherlyn was a typical
starlet, one that the entertainment industry was teeming with. Therefore, she was sure Jeremy would not be
attracted to her. Corinne, however, was different. She had a certain, unique quality to her, one that was pure but
down–to–earth, honest but cheeky, and cute but tough. It was a genuine personality, not faked.

rid of Corinne this time, she would make her suffer for a while. Anya wanted Jeremy to see for himself that no
matter how special Corinne was, she was nothing but a girl from a middle–class family whose parents only had
money in their minds.
Anya was sure that once Jeremy knew what kind of
background Corinne came from, he would no doubt fall out of love with Corinne.
In any case, Anya could not wait to see how the drama would unfold in the Holden family tomorrow.
It was raining outside when Corinne and Jeremy finished their dinner in the Italian restaurant. The two of them went
outside, and Tommy immediately passed Jeremy an open umbrella.
Jeremy took the umbrella and swiveled it toward Corinne naturally. “How do you want to go home today? Subway
or bus?”

Corinne raised an eyebrow and looked at the rain. Then, tilted her head to look at Jeremy and said, “Let’s take your
car since it’s already here. It’ll be a bit of an overkill if I insist that you take the bus or subway with me in this kind of
weather. I might not be a typical good girl, Mister, but I’m not a drama
