Chapter 1493
Corinne’s anger was directly proportional to her calmness. The lack of visible anger was
much more terrifying than if she were to scold them directly.
After telling 'Bryan' and Christine to come with her, Corinne turned and walked out.
'Bryan' and Christine looked at Francine, silently requesting her to intercede forthem.
Francine could tell that Corinne was genuinely infuriated, so she decided not to interfere
with Corinne taking disciplinary action against the children. She shrugged helplessly at the
two kids and said, 'I can't help you anymore now that your Mommy knows what happened.
Now you'll have to face the consequences of your actions."
Bryan' and Christine were disheartened; Francine seemed to have left them to be sent to
their doom! There was nothing they could do except follow their mother out of their aunt's
room.
Corinne brought the three children back to her bedroom. She sat on the sofa and looked

here. You're not involved in all this."
Joey looked at his younger siblings. He felt distressed and helpless as he went over to take
his seat.
Corinne looked at Bryan and Christine. "Why were you fighting?"
The two kids kept their lips tightly sealed. Neither offered an explanation.
Corinne then raised an eyebrow and said, "Still not talking?"
'Bryan' pursed his lips, but Corinne's gaze piled the pressure on him. Thus, he was the first
to speak up. "I fought back because she hit me."
Christine shook her head. "He stepped on my doll on purpose! I was just trying to push
him away."
'Bryan' then said, "I didn’t do it on purpose, but you pushed me anyway!"
Christine responded, "Whatever! You can't step on my doll!"
The argument started again.
Corinne frowned in slight irritation. "Enough!" Her stern command immediately silenced
the two youngsters.
'Bryan' and Christine kept quiet and looked fearfully at their mother.
Corinne massaged her temples and said, "I thought you fought with each other because of
something serious! Are you telling me this minor issue was the reason?"
The two children kept quiet.
"Is this how siblings should treat each other in a small misunderstanding? By hurting your
sibling?" Corinne asked unhappily.
'Bryan' felt remorseful when he saw Corinne's unhappy expression. "Please don't get
angry, Mommy. I know I was wrong..."
Corinne then asked, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
'Bryan' replied, "Yes. I shouldn't have fought with my sister."

Corinne then turned to Christine. "What about you? Do you know what you did wrong?"
Christine glared at 'Bryan' before looking back at Corinne. "I don't think I was wrong!"
Corinne's frown became even sterner when she saw how stubborn her daughter was. "Am
I right to understand that you don't think you were wrong even though you scratched your
brother's face?"
Christine raised her head defiantly. "He's not my brother!"
Corinne and Joey were both stunned to hear that.
Bryan' blinked awkwardly and deliberately avoided everyone's gaze.
Corinne narrowed her eyes and looked closely at Bryan, but she was unable to detect
anything unusual with him.
She then turned her attention back to Christine. "Why do you say that he's not your
brother? You were born on the same day, you grew up together, and you've spent most of
your time together since the day you were both born. Why would you suddenly refuse to
accept him as your brother?"
