Lilin scoffed resentfully. "She's capable of anything because she's confident she can get away with anything! Dad has been pampering her since she was young, so this isn't that much of a shock." Concerned about her daughter and son-in-law, Emily asked, "Are you sure you're fine, Corinne?" Corinne sat beside Emily and assured her, "I'm not injured. Don't worry, Mom." Emily then turned her attention to Jeremy and said, "Where did the acid hit you? Please show it to me." Jeremy walked over and held up his arm. He then reassured Emily, "It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine." Emily then held her daughter's hand and said, "All that matters is that you're okay." Melinda calmed down and took a deep breath before approaching the couple. She expressed her regret over what happened and said with a deep bow, "Corinne... Zach- I mean, Mister Jeremy... I'm sorry for what my stepdaughter did to you two. I hope you can find it in yourselves to accept my sincere apology." Corinne immediately got up and held Melinda. "You don't have to bow to us and apologize, but I do hope you won't blUS for how we plan to deal with Sophia later."

Can trouble you to handle things here and take care of Emily for a bit? I'll have to talk to my husband. I'm sure he'll be very distressed after learning about his precious daughter's arrest. I'm going to talk him out of making any impulsive or irrational decisions." "Of course," Corinne said with a nod. "I'll have to trouble you to do the sand take care of my mother as well. Well stay here for now and make sure she's safe." Melinda wiped her tears and sighed before leaving with Lilin. Corinne had mixed emotions as she watched Melinda leave.
