Chapter 914
Two women came out of the sports car. One looked to be about 40 or 50 years old, and the other looked to be
about 20 years old. They were both dressed very plainly. The 20 year-old-woman, who was sporting two braids, was
dressed in an old checkered shirt, washed-out jeans, and dirty sneakers.
As they got closer, Corinne thought that looked familiar, yet she could not quite put her finger on where she met
them.
The older woman glared at Corinne as soon as she was near her. "Corinne, have you no shame living such a
luxurious life while you're to blame for the pitiful condition you've put my daughter in?" she sneered.
'Ah, so they’re mother and daughter,' thought Corinne. She looked at the older woman. "I'm sorry, but who are
you?"

Throughout the conversation, her daughter kept her head lowered. Judging by her trembling shoulders, she seemed
to be crying quietly.
"And what did I do to you?" asked Corinne lightly. She was quite curious to know what she did.
The older woman turned her head away with a scoff before dragging her daughter past Corinne. "We're not
interested in talking to you since you're married now. Your in-laws should be the ones handling this matter."
Seeing they were about to walk up to Pamela, Corinne immediately stood in between them. "I alone should be held
responsible for the wrongdoings I've committed. The only person you should talk to is me."
The older woman was livid. "Talk to you? As if you can ever compensate for all the loss we've accrued over the
years! Get out of my way now!"
Corinne moved to the side again when she saw the mother-daughter duo trying to get past her again. She did not
want to trouble Pamela with all this mess.
"Corinne, you wouldn't worry about US going to talk to Old Missus Holden if you're as innocent as you say you are!"
said Marvin after walking up to Corinne to stop her from blocking Josephine and her mother from entering the
mansion.
Then, he said to the elder woman, "That elderly woman you saw just now is the matriarch of the family. Everyone
respects her very much. You can tell her what Corinne did to you, and I'm sure she'll give you the justice you seek
for."
The mother-daughter duo successfully got past Corinne with Marvin's help. Once they got in front of Pamela, they
fell to their knees and put their heads on the ground.
Francine frowned. She had no idea what the mother-daughter duo had up their sleeves, so her first instinct was to
stand in front of Pamela with her arms wide open. "What are you doing?"

"Ma'am, your granddaughter-in-law is a bad person! You must make her pay for what she did to my daughter,
Josephine!" cried the woman.
Seeing this, Corinne pushed Marvin away and put herself in between Francine and Josephine's mother. "I've already
told you, you can discuss anything with me! Just leave my grandmother alone!"
At that moment, Pamela knew things would not be easily solved, so she said, "It's okay, Corinne. Let them speak to
me."
Corinne turned back to look at Pamela with an apologetic smile. "Sorry for troubling you again, Grandma."
Pamela shook her head kindly. "No need to apologize, Corinne. We're family, after all. Though, I'm afraid they won't
stop troubling you if you don't give them a chance to say what they want to me, so how about we let them do
that?”
Corinne's gaze started to waver a little bit. 'It doesn't seem like Grandma believed their words. In fact, she's still
standing firmly by my side.'
She thought Pamela would be taken in by their words. After all, the elderly woman was not her real grandmother,
and there was no trust built up between them over the years.
