NovelOnlineChapter 1785 Liliana scoffed. "I've met many women like you over the years. You're trying to steal my position because you think he's rich. Well, lettell you something! You should stop dreaming because I'm no pushover! There's a reason I'm able to hold on to my position for as long as I do." It was only then Emily understood why Sherlyn had them locked up in the attic. She and her mother thought they were there to steal Marvin! Even though she knew she did not have good taste in men, Marvin was where she drew the line.
"Missus Carew, | think there's been a misunderstanding. Your husband and | aren't involved romantically. At most, we're just old classmates. | cto find him today to ask him something that happened in the past, so you don't need to worry about anything.” Lilliana was not happy that Emily could tell she was worrying. She thought she had lost face. "I'm not worried! You must be blind if you think I'm worried!" Emily smiled. "If you're not worried, why did you lock us up in here? Why are you so afraid about letting your husband meet me?" Liliiana's face stiffened. "I..." Emily was not there to pick a fight with Li Iliana. She just wanted to ask Marvin why he lied to her back then.
"Missus Carew, | have no interest in your husband whatsoever, so you can relax. | just want to ask him something. | promise I'll leave as soon as he answers my question.” Lilliana frowned. She did not think Emily was lying, given how relaxed she looked. Nonetheless, she was threatened by her beauty, so she was unwilling to let her meet Marvin.

After mulling it over, Lilliana pulled out a chair and sat x 8 "My husband isn't hright now, so you can askwhat you want to ask him instead. | know everything there's to know about him since we've been married for so long." ‘Well, she doesn't look like she's going anywhere, which means she's still worried about lettingmeet Marvin.
Oh well, maybe I can get the answer from her... She did say she's been married to Marvin for a long time,’ thought Emily.
Thus, she sighed and said, "Okay. Did a girl named Corinne live with you before?" Lil liana's eyes immediately widened in shock when she heard Corinne's name.
"You're here for Corinne? Who is she to you?" "Corinne's my daughter.”
Lilliana's face instantly darkened as caution flashed across her eyes. "So it's you! How can you say nothing is going on between you and my husband? If what you're claiming is true, why would he help you raise your daughter? Isn't Corinne the b*stard child of you and him?" Emily becvisibly upset at the words 'b*stard child’. "Missus Carew, I'd suggest you watch what you're saying. Corinne is my daughter, and she has nothing to do with Marvin. She's not a 'b*stard child’ as you say she is!"
Lilliana laughed mockingly. "Well, that's weird, then. Why would he take her in if she has nothing to do With him? | know my husband the Best.
He's as stingy as they come. He'd never help another woman raise her daughter if there's nothing in it for him, so drop the act! Just admit you're here hoping to rekindle your relationship with him!" Emily's lips twitched. She was quite speechless. It seemed like nothing she said was getting through to Lilliana.

"Missus Carew, | happened to run into sdifficulties back then, and | had no choice but to entrust Corinne to your husband. Of course, | didn't expect him to do it for free, so I gave him a vintage necklace as a reward.
But according to what | heard, he didn't treat my daughter well at all. In fact, he didn't even spend any money on her. Plus, you should know better thanthat he'd never send his own daughter to live in the countryside.
