Chapter 382
The two servants who led the Carews in approached Bowen and asked meaningfully, “Mister Hoover, are they truly Ma’am’s
family? Why do they act so differently than her?”
“Yeah. They seem to think the mansion belongs to them instead of them just being guests. Just now, they even said they’re
going to revamp the whole yard! They wanted to have the old pine tree cut down and for Mister Greg’s precious orchids to be
thrown out!”
Bowen frowned, not understanding why the Carews behaved like that. “That’s enough coming from you two. The two of you
would do well to remember they’re Ma’am’s family. Instead of gossiping here, you should go make a pot of coffee and ask the
kitchen to prepare some fruits and snacks for them. Remember: only the utmost respect for her family. We wouldn’t want them to
have a bad impression of their first visit here.”
“Yes, Mister Hoover,” chorused the two servants in unison, and the two of them went to the kitchen.
Sherlyn leaned languidly against the expensive fabric sofa, thinking how much more comfortable that sofa was than the one in
their home. It was so comfortable that she nearly dozed off. However, she did not like the style. Sure, it looked expensive, but it
was too old-fashioned for her taste.
She sat up and put on the air of the woman of the household again as she looked around the interior of the mansion. Her
eyebrows never once wrinkled in dissatisfaction as she complained with a sigh, “I don’t like anything in this mansion at all!
Everything is so old-fashioned. I do wish they had something more contemporary,”
Lilliana, who sat beside her, smiled and said coaxingly, “Hey there now. You’ll be the woman of the household once you
move in here. Then, you can decorate the place however you want! I’m sure Jeremy will follow through with anything you want if
you just ask him.”
After she thought about it, Sherlyn agreed with what her mother said.
Jeremy’s perfect, handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind, making her heart throb with longing. ‘Oh, he’s the most good-
looking man I’ve ever seen in my life. Even if he’s not the heir of the Holden family, I’d still be willing to marry him, and the two of
us will live the most passionate love story ever!’
However, Sherlyn could not help but feel angry at Corinne for stealing Jeremy away from her. ‘I wonder if they had slept together.
If she has, then I’m going to make sure she regrets it – for the rest of her life!!
At that moment, the maid came in with some refreshments. Marvin accepted the cup of coffee from her, took a sip as if he was a
coffee connoisseur, and then said, “What coffee is this? Why does it taste so weak?”
“This is the best Black Ivory coffee money can buy. The taste is a tad on the lighter side. I can make you another coffee if you
prefer something stronger,” said the maid.
Black Ivory coffee was the most famous coffee in the world. This was Marvin’s first taste of it, so he did not know what was

good or what was bad. He cleared his throat out of
embarrassment, waved his hand, and said, “No, it’s fine. I’ll make do with this one. By the way, where is Corinne? What’s taking
her so long to come down?”
The maid did not know how to answer him, so she said nothing.
Bowen immediately came over. He smiled politely and said, Mister Carew, Ma’am is still dressing up. She’ll come down when
she’s ready. Please have some fruit while you wait for her.”
Marvin frowned. “Does she think she’s the queen now that she has married into this family?
How dare she put on airs with us?!”
