Back then, Emily begged Marvin to take Corinne in. She promised that she would come back for her after three months. He did not have the heart to turn her down as she was like a deity to him, so he agreed to her request.

Not only did Emily break her promise and not return after three months, but his family life had been turned upside down because of Corinne's existence. Thus, under Lilliana's instigation, he sent the little girl to be raised by his relative in the countryside.

Unexpectedly, Emily appeared at his doorstep a week after he sent Corinne away. She came back for her daughter.

Marvin could not bring himself to tell her that he had sent Corinne to the countryside as he feared that would destroy his image. Thus, he told her that Corinne was struck with an acute illness, and it was too late to save her by the time she was rushed to the hospital.

Emily became even more furious when Marvin said nothing. "Answer me! Why did you lie to me?!"
