Chapter 1786 "You swear? Huh! Don't makelaugh. I'll never believe you even if you swear. If what you say is true, you won't even be here right now! And Corinne has long left this place. You should go to the Holdens if you want to find her! Why would you show up looking dressed up to the nines if you're not here to rekindle your relationship with my husband?!" screeched Lilliana.
Emily felt aggrieved. She did not think she looked like she was dressed up that nicely. She had rushed over to New Capital City from Molomia and did not even have the tto wash her face or brush her hair. Plus, she was wearing her old clothes.
She knew it would be useless to reason with Lil liana since she was too suspicious. "Missus Carew, it's fine if you don't wantto meet your husband, but there are just sthings | need to ask him directly. So why don't you givehis number, and I'll ask him over the phone? I'll leave after that." Liliana crossed her arms. "You must think I'm stupid enough to give you his number! I'll never let you meet him or call him! Now, if you know what's good for you, you'll leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blme for taking drastic measures." Emily was speechless at how unreasonable Liliana acted.

At that moment, Melinda and Lilin cback from the bathroom.
Lilin heard the last part of what Lilliana said to Emily, and she quickly jumped to Emily's defense.
"Excuse me, Granny, but your husband isn't really the catch you think he is! Do you really think all the women in the world want to steal him from you? Hahaha! You must be delusional if you think that. | saw what your husband looked like in the family portrait downstairs. Only you would think a fat, balding man like him is a catch! So back off from Miss Emily! She'll never fall for someone like your husband!" Lilli ana immediately becupset when she heard Lilin calling her 'Granny "Why you little brat! Who taught you to speak like that to an adult?! Where are your manners?" Lilin rolled her eyes at her. "That's rich, coming from you! At least | don't lock other people up in the attic like your daughter did!" Liliana shot the little girl a death glare. "Why you..." Sherlyn-who was behind Lilin-pushed the little girl when she heard what she said. "You have no right to judge me, you little b*tch! | wouldn't have to lock you all up if your mother didn't cto seduce my dad!" Being much smaller than Sherlyn, Lilin nearly fell down after being pushed by her. Thankfully, Melinda and Emily reacted quickly enough. They immediately steadied her, stopping her from falling.
Melinda knelt down and hugged her while asking worriedly, "Lilin, are you okay?" Frightened, Lilin nodded dazedly before glaring at Sherlyn.
After steadying the girl, Emily stood up and shouted, "What did you do that for? She's just a kid!" "Well, she was the one who ran her mouth atfirst! What's wrong with fighting back? You're obviously not doing a good job in disciplining her, so you should be thankingfor disciplining her!" It finally dawned on Emily that there was no reasoning with the Carews. It pained and angered her to think about all the abuse Corinne had to go through while living under their roof.

Lilin's temper was like Adam's; she was not going to let other people bully her. She put her hands to her hips and shouted.Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you push me! No one has ever pushed [1from the day | was born!" Sherlyn threw her head back and laughed as though she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Ooh, is that supposed to scare me? So what if I've pushed you? What are you going to do about it?" Lilin clenched her tiny fists. "I'm going to beat you up!"
That elicited another head-throwing laughter from Sherlyn. She took out her phone and started filming Lilin.
Bring it on!Hit me all you want .Let's see how you're going to explain yourself when | give this video to the f q cops and tell them you're trespassing na I on my home!" 'Why, she's just as bad a0 aR .
as Sophia! thought Lilin. In a fit of anger, she rushed up to Sherlyn with her fists waving.
Melinda quickly grabbed her, not wanting Lilin to act impulsively .After all, should Sherlyn,really report them to the police they would not have enough evidence to prove that she was the one who let them in.
