Chapter 422
Corinne was not fazed by Sherlyn’s hysterics. Judging by the lazy yawning she did just now, she was bored by the whole thing.
Suddenly, she smiled and said, “I’m sorry but I don’t care whether I’m welcomed here or not. I’m just here to take back my
engagement gifts.”
At the mention of the ‘engagement gifts’, Sherlyn’s whole body immediately tensed up. Then she frowned angrily and said, “What
right do you have to take away the engagement gifts?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You’re asking me what right do I have? If I remember correctly, those engagement gifts are from
my husband, are they not? Therefore, I have every right to take them away.”
The words, my husband, made Sherlyn even angrier. ‘How dare she call Jeremy her husband? He was supposed to be mine! If
only he didn’t get seduced by Corinne.’
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She pointed her finger at Corinne and shouted, “Corinne Carew, I had
enough of your bullsh*t! Jeremy didn’t give those engagement gifts to you. You know d*mn well he gave them to me so they
belong to me and not you! You were the one who stole my man away from me, you shameless b*tch, so how dare you come
here to take away my engagement gifts?! I can’t believe you would even think of that! I warn you, Corinne, don’t ever push your
luck!”
Sherlyn already lost her dream man so h*ll would freeze over before she let Corinne take those engagement gifts away from
her. The engagement gifts Jeremy gave to the Carews were all expensive items. She knew any one of them could fetch
hundreds and thousands of dollars in the market.
It was very important for her to hang on to those engagement gifts because she had no job and no possible way to go back to
acting since she crossed the most famous director in the country – Director Goran Sheffield. Therefore, she was hoping to eke
out her living with the engagement gifts.
‘No way am I going to let her take away my engagement gifts!’ thought Sherlyn.
“Sherlyn, who’s there? Why are you shouting at the door?” Lilliana heard the commotion outside so she came out to the entrance
to see what was going on.
Sherlyn looked back at Lilliana and pointed with her lips at Corinne. “Corinne’s here and guess why she’s back? She has the
face to come back and ask me to give back the engagement gifts,” she said viciously and superciliously.

Lilliana’s reaction was the same as Sherlyn’s when she heard Corinne came back to take away the engagement gifts. She
frowned, walked over to stand beside Sherlyn, looked at Corinne who was still outside the door unhappily, “Corinne, you’ve
crossed the line this time. Isn’t it enough that you stole Jeremy from Sherlyn? How can you even think of coming here and taking
away the engagement gifts? Your father will never forgive you or let you do this to Sherlyn if he finds out about this.”
Corinne looked calmly at her stepmother. “I came back to take back what’s mine so I don’t need anyone’s permission. I, only,
have the right to say what can be done to my personal
belongings.”
Lilliana did not believe Marvin would ever let Corinne take away those engagement gifts so she rolled her eyes and said, Don’t
get offended when I say this but is there no end to your greed? You should just give up the engagement gifts since your already
got Jeremy!”
‘Me? Greedy? Ha! No matter how greedy I am, I’ll never be as greedy as the two of them!’ thought Corinne.
A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said, “Aunt Lilliana, ever since I was young, I’ve never taken what’s not mine but it
doesn’t mean that I won’t fight for what rightfully belongs to me! The engagement gifts were given by my husband so I, as his
wife, have the right to take it back!”
