The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340

Marvin then ordered angrily, “Come back here right now and get rid of all the wreaths in front of the house. Then you need to figure things out on your own and find a way to admit your mistakes to the media. Make sure you ask for everyone’s forgiveness! I don’t want our family to be dragged through the mud along with you!”

Corinne listened calmly and felt like laughing.

An old lady who had known her for less than a couple of months believed firmly in her innocence, going so far as to advise her not to go out in the coming days and be extra careful of her safety. On the other hand, her father wanted to thrust her into the public eye and let the netizens vent their anger so he could disassociate himself from her.

The difference was simply too huge.

Marvin had always treated her like that since she was a child. Whenever something bad happened, his first act would be to accuse her, reproach her, and scold her indiscriminately. He never cared to ask her for the truth of the matter, and he was never concerned as to whether someone had harmed her or accused her wrongly.

Not once did he ever stop to care for her.

When she was young, she often wondered why her father was different from other people’s fathers. She never felt any of that fatherly love that her classmates so often wrote about in their essays.

However, it would be wrong to say that Marvin was different from other people’s fathers. Judging from the way he treated Sherlyn, he could be regarded as a father who loved his daughter. He would forgive whatever mistakes Sherlyn made, and he would be angry at her for only a short time. Once he forgave her, he would still love Sherlyn as much as he did before.

The same could not be said for Corinne.

At long last, she finally understood why Marvin treated her coldly–he always knew that Corinne was not his daughter, hence the complete lack of fatherly love toward her. The most she would get was a bit of his pity.

Corinne answered lazily, “Oh? What’s wrong with my attitude? Didn’t I already promise you that I’ll solve this matter that you complained about? Isn’t that good enough for you?”

Marvin gritted his teeth angrily. “You’ve lost it, Corinne! You’re becoming much ruder than before! You don’t even call me ‘Dad‘ when you talk to me! You’re rebelling now!”

“Let me talk to her!” Sherlyn took the phone, raised her makeup–laden face, and stared disdainfully at the camera.

“You’re a bringer of bad luck, Corinne! Life has been the worst ever since you came into the city from the countryside! You ruined my career a while ago, and now, everyone’s found out that the person who staged that accident is my sister! I’m being smeared, slandered, and cursed by everyone, and they’re putting me on the same level as you! I’m so ashamed! The point is, you need to settle this for me right away and go back to your country home! We don’t want you to stay in the city and bring bad luck to our family! Do I make myself clear?”

Corinne chuckled softly. “If I recall, you were the one who ruined your career. And who are you to tell me to go back to the countryside?”
