Chapter 40

Sherlyn was dumbfounded. ‘What trending searches? How am I trending when I didn’t even receive

any jobs recently? And I’m on top of that list?’

She never made it to the top of the trending list even when she had a wardrobe malfunction before!

‘What’s going on?!’ A bad feeling rose in Sherlyn’s heart, and she quickly took out her phone to check

what happened. Sure enough, her name soared to the very top of the searches, and the accompanying

caption was ‘Exposed: the man backing actress Sherlyn Carew!”

Sherlyn’s hands trembled uncontrollably as she clicked on the headline. The entry showed a video of

several big shots from the entertainment circle at a certain dinner party, and there was even a GIF of

her sitting in a bald man’s lap!

‘How did these shady pictures go viral? Who did this? Who’s launching a smear campaign against

me?”

Being on the trending search meant that everyone around the world could see his daughter’s

scandalous behavior. Marvin felt utterly humiliated by her and said, “You shameless little fool! Just look

at your indecent behavior in the video!”

Sherlyn’s face turned pale, and all she could do was shake her head guiltily to deny it. “It’s not what

you think, I…”

A disgusted look appeared on Marvin’s face as he scolded her. “What else do you have to say? You’re

sitting right on that old man’s lap! Why am I a father to such a shameless daughter!”

Sherlyn still wanted to argue. “But, Dad, I… We were just talking about work…”

Marvin grabbed the pressed flower decoration from the cabinet in a rage, threw it in Sherlyn’s face, and

lashed out, “Work? Do you need to sit on a man’s lap to talk about work?!”

Sherlyn felt that she had hit a dead end and was frightened, speechless. “I…”

“Take it easy, Dad. I’m sure she didn’t do it voluntarily.” Corinne poured a glass of warm water for

Marvin and persuaded him like a good daughter. “She’s just trying to be popular enough to make a

name for the Carews. Those old men touched her because she’s forced to let them do it!”

Marvin became even angrier. “Bah! Make a name for us? More like disgrace us! She did something so

indecent and even got on the trending searches! I can’t even begin to describe how ashamed I

am!”

Everything could be viewed in perspective when he compared his two children. Marvin initially felt. that

Corinne’s decision to work as a maid was already disgraceful enough, but he finally realized how

genuinely embarrassing it was after finding out that Sherlyn had done something so scandalous! By

contrast, at least Corinne was working an honest job!

Sherlyn did not dare to object to her father, but she showed no hesitation in making her displeasure

known to Corinne. She pointed at Corinne and cursed angrily, “Don’t try to provoke Dad by pretending

like you’re a saint in front of him! I think this was all your doing! Nothing good. ever happens when

you’re around! You-”

Marvin gave Sherlyn the tightest slap.

“What gave you the right to scold your sister? You’re the one drinking out there with those men, and

you have the nerve to come back here and complain about your sister? She’s working an honest job,

and she hasn’t done anything unbecoming! Look in the mirror, Sherlyn! You’re the stubborn one, and

you don’t seem to want to learn from your mistakes at all! I’m going to teach. you a good lesson today,

you shameless woman!”

“Ah!” Sherlyn screamed, fell to the ground, and started to cry.

“How dare you cry!” Marvin was incensed, and he wanted to kick her again in a bout of anger. Lilliana

saw her daughter being beaten up and ran over to stop Marvin. “Stop it, Marvin! Stop hitting Sherlyn!

She must have a good reason to do what she did!”

Marvin snickered in disgust. “And what good reason might that be? I think she’s just doing whatever

she can to climb the social ladder! Is this how you raised your daughter, Sherlyn!? The two of you are

an embarrassment to the Carews! You both are going to stay at home obediently from now on. None of

you are allowed to go out! That’ll save me some embarrassment at least!”

He did not want to see either of their faces and huffed coldly before going upstairs.

Lilliana hurriedly helped Sherlyn up and asked heartbrokenly, “Are you okay, Sherlyn?”

Sherlyn threw herself into Lilliana’s arms and wailed. “How did this happen, Mom? How did the video

go viral?! I’m too ashamed to meet anyone anymore!”
