Moreover, the feelings between Marvin and Lilliana were not strictly love. It was more like the two of them had come together for
their own mutual benefits while making sure the other did not gain more than the other.
Therefore, no, Corinne did not believe in love.
Much later, when she found out Marvin was not her biological father and that she was Maxwell’s daughter... She became even
more convinced there was no such thing as love in this world.
After all, Maxwell was even more of a dirtbag than Marvin. The former might look like a gentleman on the outside, but inside, he
was a hypocrite through and through.
The story of Maxwell and Emily began well enough. At first, the lovestruck Maxwell did not give up chasing Emily until she finally
agreed to be his girlfriend and ultimately married him. However, not long after their wedding, he started staying out the whole
night with his mistress with the end product being an illegitimate daughter.
Yet, he had the nerve to accuse Emily of cheating on him. In the end, he teamed up with the rest of his family to drive her out of
the house. At her wit’s end, Emily had no choice but to entrust Corinne to Marvin while she vanished into thin air.
Again, with a backstory like this, it was no wonder ‘all men are the same’ became Corinne’s mantra.
“But you started to believe in love after meeting Uncle Jeremy, right?” asked Annie, blinking innocently.
Corinne frowned when she thought of how Jeremy left without saying goodbye. “I...don’t know.”
Annie tilted her head in confusion. “What do you mean, you don’t know? Aren’t you together with him because you love him?”

“All I can say is I do care about him right now, and he’s someone who’s very important to me. He’s so important that I can
sacrifice everything I have for him. As for what this feeling is called, I don’t know. Plus, I can’t guarantee I’ll feel the same way in
the future. Not to mention, I don’t know if he feels the same way about me.”
Annie nodded her head rapidly. “Trust me, Corinne, when I say Uncle Jeremy loves you. He really, really loves you.”
“Is that so?” Corinne asked with a smirk. ‘If he loves me, why didn’t he call or message me? Even if he’s flying to the South Pole,
he should’ve landed by now. Why hasn’t he called or messaged me yet? Hmph!’

Meanwhile, Sunny, who had seen Jason off, saw from a distance Xante walking out of the hospital. He was about to go ask her
where she was heading when she got in a luxury sedan and left.
Curious, Sunny flagged down a taxi and asked the driver to follow the luxury sedan. ‘I must get to the bottom of who she is and
her relationship with Corinne!’
It was not long before Xante’s car drove into the parking lot of a hotel, and the taxi followed suit.
...
Xante looked at her watch after knocking on the presidential suite.
Aaron, with wet hair sticking to his head and only a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body, opened the door. It was
obvious he had just finished taking a shower.
