[Road to Success: (disappointed emoji) Nothing. I'm in a bad mood today, so I wanted to talk to my master.]Corinne replied, [What happened?][Road to Success: (angry emoji) I saw my sister's love rival in Snow Room today, so I wanted to help her vent her anger. I tried to make that woman trip so she'd fall face-first into the ground in front of everyone, but that damn woman deliberately fell on the man that my sister liked and even took advantage of the moment to kiss him on the lips. I'm furious!]Corinne stared lost in thought at the computer screen. The world was such a small place, and he turned out to be the one who tripped her!Zeke and the curly-haired woman were not the only ones with Jeremy at that time. She faintly remembered another handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was about 17 or 18 years old. That must have been 'Road to Success'![Do you think there's a possibility she fell that way because of the angle you tripped her? It's not like she can c
Corinne stepped over the broken glass shards on the ground and walked up to Marvin. "What's wrong, Dad? Why are you so angry?"Sherlyn folded her arms as she stood at one side and viciously added fuel to fire. "You have the nerve to ask that? You should be well aware of what you've done."Corinne glanced insipidly at Sherlyn. "I've done a lot of good deeds. Which one are you referring to?"Marvin had a sour expression as he asked angrily, "You said you moved out because you got a job. What kind of job are you doing?"Corinne was at a loss for words because she did not know what was the best way to describe the work she was doing. She wondered what would be the best occupation to describe 'pretending to be the wife of a domineering man to help him appease his elders', and whether 'actress' or 'temporary wife' would be a better job description.When Marvin saw that Corinne was having difficulty answering him, he became even angrier and said, "Are you going to continue hiding it from
Marvin was a little more inclined toward believing Corinne and thus asked her again, "Do you swear you're telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"Corinne kept her calm and assured him, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll never do that sort of scandalous thing."Marvin breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't know how relieved I am! Don't you ever end up doing bad stuff, okay? I'd be such a disappointment to your late mother if you did!"Sherlyn was furious to see Marvin's sudden change of attitude toward Corinne, and she tried to complain again, "Dad, even if Corinne isn't a bar hostess, her actual job isn't much better either! I didn't want to tell you this because I'm worried that you'd get angry if you find out, but since it's clear that Corinne shows no intention of learning from her mistakes, I think it's only right for me to say something as her sister! Here goes… The truth is, Corinne's working as a maid for a rich family! The landlord she mentioned is actually her employer!"
Sherlyn was dumbfounded. 'What trending searches? How am I trending when I didn't even receive any jobs recently? And I'm on top of that list?'She never made it to the top of the trending list even when she had a wardrobe malfunction before!'What's going on?!' A bad feeling rose in Sherlyn's heart, and she quickly took out her phone to check what happened. Sure enough, her name soared to the very top of the searches, and the accompanying caption was 'Exposed: the man backing actress Sherlyn Carew!'Sherlyn's hands trembled uncontrollably as she clicked on the headline. The entry showed a video of several big shots from the entertainment circle at a certain dinner party, and there was even a GIF of her sitting in a bald man's lap!'How did these shady pictures go viral? Who did this? Who's launching a smear campaign against me?'Being on the trending search meant that everyone around the world could see his daughter's scandalous behavior. Marvin felt utterly humiliated by her and
Lilliana comforted her daughter Sherlyn. "Don't worry, Sherlyn. I'll find a way to clear your name! Don't cry..."Corinne stood relaxedly to one side with a mocking smirk, and she even chuckled a little at the sight of Lilliana and Sherlyn in shambles.Sherlyn ceased crying the second she heard that little chuckle from Corinne. A frown appeared on her face, and she glared at Corinne while pointing resentfully at her. "It was you! You did this to me, Corinne!"Corinne cocked an eyebrow and spread her hands innocently. "How can a small-time maid like me be capable of doing that to you? It's expensive to pay for a headline slot in the news, and I can't afford to do that at all."Indeed, money was not involved, only certain tech-savvy skills.Sherlyn nonetheless stared unhappily at her. "Even if you didn't pay for the news to be in the headlines, you came here to add fuel to the fire in front of Dad. He wouldn't have known about the news if you weren't here!"Corinne frowned. "Weren'
Marvin had a gloomy expression and was still somewhat angry because the scandal involving his eldest daughter Sherlyn had become a trending topic.Corinne walked over slowly and persuaded him softly, "Dad, your health will be affected if you get angry. Don't worry so much about that whole incident with Sherlyn. I'm sure a lot of people will forget about it once all the fanfare dies down.""You're right." At the end of the day, Corinne was the more honest and sensible daughter, which saved Marvin from worrying too much about her.Many things had not gone smoothly for Marvin in recent days, and he frowned before asking, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"Corinne nodded and put the painting she was holding on the table. "Take a look at this painting, Dad..." she said while gently tearing off the kraft paper covering the painting. The piece's magnificent, artistic beauty soon came into view.She had brought with her 'Geese in Late Autumn'—one of her mother's posthumous
Corinne was not worried that Lilliana and Sherlyn would destroy the painting, mainly because Marvin was always very secretive about Nellie Nymphaea, and they were thus unaware that she was Corinne's mother. Even if they did find out the truth, Corinne was certain that they would not do anything to her mother's painting. After all, Lilliana and Sherlyn might not like her mother, but they loved riches and would probably be more than happy to be given something of such value....Corinne went out of her home, walked to a nearby bus stop, and began to wait for a bus back to the Holden home.As she waited for the bus, a black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of her.It was none other than Jeremy's vehicle. 'D*mn it, why do I always have to run into him outside?' Is the world too small, or did he just happen to be wherever she went?Tommy got down from the front passenger seat and opened the rear seat door for her. He then said respectfully, "Please get in the car, Miss Corinn
At the entrance of the Asian restaurant, Jeremy strode out of the car with Corinne by his side before walking into the restaurant.Tommy respectfully stood by the car and stared incredulously at Jeremy from behind.After Corinne suggested that they get some Asian food, he casually called Jeremy to inform him of Corinne's request. Little did he expect that Jeremy would agree to cancel the reservation at the French restaurant and change the venue to an Asian restaurant. His attitude toward Corinne seemed to be different from most.However, the more important issue was whether or not Asian cuisine even suited his taste palate....The aroma in the Asian restaurant was characteristically rich and spicy. Corinne had chosen a seat by the window, and she held a pen while browsing through the menu. Then, she raised her head and asked, "Do you take spicy food?"Jeremy, who was sitting opposite her, nodded slightly. "Yes."Corinne grunted in response and chose two spicy soups. The tables
