Ch. 1001..1010

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1001-‘Corinne has a friend over?’ It was only then Pamela noticed someone standing anxiously behind Corinne.“Oh, it’s Rosie!” Rosie knew Pamela and Greg. However, she could not help but feel guilty when she saw them since Jeremy’s men were looking for her all over the place.“Grandpa Greg, Grandma Pamela, it’s been a while. How have you two been doing?” “We’re both doing really well,” answered Pamela with a smile. “Corinne, why don’t you and Rosie head up now? I’ll get the servant to deliver your food upstairs after they’ve heated them.” “Okay. Thanks, Grandma Pamela,” said Corinne with a polite smile.After that, she and Rosie went up to her room.Greg scoffed. “How rude of her. Why can’t she and her friend eat with us at the table? Is she worried we’ll hear something we shouldn’t have? She must be hiding something from us!” Pamela threw him a warning glance. “Corinne is our granddaughter-in-law and this is her home too, so she has the right to do whatever she feels comfortable with. Besides, they’re probably just going to have some girl talk. It’ll be awkward if you’re present too. I must say, old fool, you really should cut Corinne some slack since she proved she was innocent during the press conference this morning.” Greg simply scoffed again and ate his meal silently.Francine, however, frowned. She looked up the stairs and muttered under her breath, “That’s weird…” Pamela happened to hear what she said. “Francine, what are you thinking about? What’s weird?” Francine snapped out of her thoughts to answer her grandmother. “I just think it’s weird that Corinne and Rosie are friends now. Not only does Rosie hate Corinne, but she’s Anya’s best friend, too! We all know Anya sees Corinne as her love rival, so why would Rosie be friends with Corinne?” Pamela frowned at the mention of Anya. “Nonsense. They were never rivals to begin with since Jeremy had no interest in Anya whatsoever.” Francine pouted.Seeing this, Pamela added, “Eat your food and stop thinking nonsense.” “Yes, Grandma…” … Once the two girls reached Corinne’s room, Corinne told Rosie to make herself at home while she went to the bathroom to change into her loungewear.By the time she came out, a servant had laid out their lunch on the small table.Corinne was starving, so she quickly sat down and started eating.“Please help yourself, Miss Rosie,” said Corinne with a smile.Rosie did not come to eat. Frowning, she asked, “Corinne, did you bring me here to show off how happy you are to be living with Jeremy?” Corinne nearly spat out her food in laughter. “What makes you think that?” Rosie glared at her. “Well, why would anybody bring their guest into their room?” “You’re overthinking things. The reason I brought you into this room is because…”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1002-“You said it’d be awkward to talk if Grandpa Greg and Grandma Pamela were in the room. You wanted to tell me something, didn’t you? This room has the best soundproof wall, so feel free to say anything.” ‘This room has the best soundproof wall? Don’t tell me it’s ’cause they want to prevent the others from hearing what they’re doing at night. Oh my god, she’s such a shameless showoff!’ thought Rosie.

Rosie could never be more wrong in interpreting Corinne’s response.

Nonetheless, Corinne continued happily eating her meal.

Rosie crossed her arms and looked at her with disgust. “Corinne, are you pregnant?”

Corinne’s fork paused mid-air before she smiled. “Yeah, I am.” Rosie frowned. “Does Jeremy know about it? What about his grandparents?” “Of course Jeremy knows about it, though his grandparents probably still don’t know. We haven’t announced the pregnancy yet ’cause we didn’t want them making a fuss about it.” Rosie looked at her in disbelief and scoffed. “You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever met, Corinne. Just when I thought you couldn’t be even more shameless, you prove me wrong. How can you not feel guilty at all?” Corinne did not understand what she was talking about. She bit a piece of meat, slowly chewed, and swallowed before raising her eyebrow. “Well, you’re the most illogical person I’ve ever met, Rosie,” she said.

“Just how am I illogical?” asked Rosie angrily.

“Well, you said I’m the most shameless woman you’ve ever met, but then you asked me how can I not feel guilty at all? Which of the two do you want me to be?” Rosie was irked by Corinne’s nonchalant attitude. “Stop playing with words! I’m being serious here.” Corinne threw her a bored glance. “Are you? I really can’t tell.” “Stop playing dumb!” hissed Rosie between gritted teeth. “I was being serious when we were talking about your pregnancy.” Corinne nodded. “Fine, but I told you I’m pregnant. What’s more, I don’t understand why I should feel guilty about that. It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong.” Rosie scoffed. “You didn’t do anything wrong? Tell me then: Who’s the father?” Corinne was stunned before she burst into laughter. “Who’s the father of the baby, you ask? Who else can it be other than my husband, Jeremy?” Rosie crossed her arms and glared at her. “You can drop the act ’cause Anya told me everything. The father of the baby isn’t Jeremy at all. You’re just using your pregnancy and his trust for you to marry into this family.” ‘Oh, this is getting interesting. I wonder what else Anya told Rosie to make her do the dirty work for her,’ thought Corinne.

She put down her fork and sipped her water. “Tell me, then. Who do you think the father of the baby is?” Rosie was actually very reluctant to say it as the ‘truth’ Anya told her was very difficult for her to accept. She gritted her teeth before she said, “The father of the baby is Lucas, isn’t he?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1003-Corinne found Rosie’s answer so hilarious that she spurted out all the water in her mouth.

“Pfft! Ack, ack, ack!” The water splashed all over Rosie’s face, which made her scream. “Argh! What are you doing?” Corinne wiped her mouth with a tissue before pulling out another one for Rosie.

“Sorry about that. I never expected Anya to tell you that!” she chuckled.

Rosie snatched the tissue from her hand and wiped away the water on her face with disgust. “Well, she only tells me the truth. What else could she say?”

Corinne smirked. She was curious to find out what other outrageous tales Anya told Rosie.

“Did she tell you how I got pregnant with Lucas’ baby?” Rosie seemed to get even madder at the mention of that. She had worshiped Lucas since she was little. He was the only man she ever wanted to marry, so she could not stand the thought of him being defiled by the woman she hated the most in the world.

“I can’t believe you’re asking me that! The only way you could’ve gotten pregnant by Lucas was if you slipped him some drugs to make him want to do it with you. He’d never do it with a woman like you otherwise!” ‘I was right. Anya was making things up,’ Corinne thought with a sardonic grin.

She said, “So you believe everything Anya says? Don’t you find the whole thing strange at all?” Corinne could not tell Rosie that Lucas was her brother, which meant doing the deed was impossible to happen.

Rosie rolled her eyes. “Anya and I grew up together, and we’re best friends.

Why would she lie to me? You can’t seriously expect me to believe your story over hers, right?” Corinne smiled. “I’m not asking you to believe me. I’m just asking whether you find what she told you illogical.” “How is it illogical? In fact, it sounds more like you’re trying to push the blame to someone else.” “I’m not pushing the blame to someone else. I just find what she told you to be illogical. I mean, if the baby I’m carrying right now is Lucas’, why did I not force him to marry me? Why should I force Jeremy to marry me instead? Isn’t that riskier and illogical?” Rosie frowned. “That’s ’cause you found out Lucas’ not the type to be blackmailed into doing something he didn’t want. I know him the best. He’ll never bow to a woman like you. In fact, he hates being blackmailed the most!

He wouldn’t have asked Edmund to bring you to go for an abortion if that wasn’t the case.

“Just admit it, Corinne. You failed to force Lucas to marry you, so you told Jeremy the baby was his. That way, he has no choice but to marry you since he has a high sense of responsibility, unlike Lucas. Plus, you must’ve worked your seduction magic on him to make him believe you. But let me tell you something:

You’ll never get away with this. You’ll be kicked out of this house too once they know the truth.” Corinne kept laughing while Rosie babbled. This made Rosie even angrier.

“What… What are you laughing at, Corinne?! Have you no shame? Most people will feel guilty being found out for their wrongdoing, but you have the cheek to laugh?!” Still laughing, Corinne waved her hand. “I’m sorry, but I can’t hold it in anymore.

You know, sometimes I wonder how it was possible for Anya to use you for so many years without you realizing. Well, now I know! Hahahaha!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1004-Rosie frowned. “Just what on earth are you talking about, Corinne? How did Anya use me? You have no right to speak badly about her!” Corinne willed herself to stop laughing. She then sipped her water before saying, “Miss Rosie, have you noticed Anya had been using the same method to get her way over the years? She’ll always get someone else to do the dirty work for her. The only thing she needs to get you to do her bidding is to shed a few tears and play the victim card. No matter what happens in the end, she’s always the most innocent party in the whole matter.” Rosie would never believe her best friend was the type of person Corinne said she was. “But she is innocent! She’s the kindest person I know. She couldn’t even bear to step on an ant, so how can you imply she’s manipulative?

“Besides, the others and I protect her out of our own accord. She didn’t force us to do it. I bet you’re just jealous that many people love her. Stop making Anya look bad to me. I’ll never fall for your tricks!” ‘Ugh. She’s a lost cause,’ thought Corinne while massaging her temples.

“Fine, we won’t speak about other times since I have no idea what happened between you two. But what we can do is talk about the incidents where I was present. Miss Rosie, do you remember the time you were framed for hiring someone to hurt someone else, and you ended up in jail?

“Well, Anya was the mastermind behind it all. She wanted to make me take the fall but failed to do that, so she made you take the fall instead. Anya isn’t only good at pretending to be innocent, but she does everything with caution as well.

“She knew no plan is foolproof, so she showed the suspect a picture of you and told him to testify against should things go south. She also gave strict orders to the suspect to not expose her under any circumstances.” Rosie was shocked, but she quickly found the whole thing ridiculous. “You’re lying! You were the mastermind behind that incident. You’re the reason I was locked up in that stinky prison for a few months, so how dare you push the blame to Anya? Especially when so much time has passed!” Corinne shook her head speechlessly. “If I was the mastermind behind that incident, why didn’t I make it so Anya was the one thrown into prison? What’s the point of throwing you into prison when we have no grudge between us?” Rosie fell silent. She was starting to see Corinne had a point.

“Miss Rosie, take some time to think if what I said made sense. I knew Anya must’ve told you something from the way you suddenly asked to see me. She must’ve wanted you to do something for her, right?” ‘She’s right. I did talk to Anya on the phone before I came here…’ thought Rosie.

Her gaze started to waver, even though she did not want to believe she had been used by her best friend.

Noting Rosie’s silence, Corinne asked, “Did she tell you I set her up this time?

Causing her to lose the trust of her family and getting sent away to live in the countryside?” Rosie snapped out of her thoughts and frowned. “Yes, That’s what she told me… “Corinne, I’ve been thinking it over, and…you’re right. Anya would always tell me some sob story to make me feel sorry for her so that I’d speak up on her behalf while she gets to keep her image clean.” Corinne looked at her. “Well, it’s good you realized now. Just make sure you don’t get used by her anymore.” Rosie nodded. “Corinne, when did you find out I was used by Anya?” she asked curiously.

Corinne smiled. “From the beginning, frankly. You didn’t exactly treat me nicely when we first met. Back then, I thought it was because you like Jeremy too so you saw me as your rival.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1005-“But then I got to know about Anya’s existence. After that, I realized every time you came to cause trouble for me, it was because of Anya. She’s good at taking advantage of other people’s love for her to make them do her bidding. Also, I’m guessing she told you she’ll put in a good word for you to Lucas so you and him will marry, and that you’re the only sister-in-law she’ll ever accept?” Rosie stepped back. “How… How did you know?” Corinne smiled. “It’s obvious you like Lucas, so she used that to her advantage.

That’s why she lied to you, saying he’s the father of the baby I’m carrying. She was hoping by doing so, you’d get rid of me in a fit of jealousy.”

Through Corinne’s explanation, everything started to make sense to Rosie.

However, the truth was not always pretty, so she found herself on the edge of breaking down.

“A… Anya has…been using me all this time?” Anya was Rosie’s best friend. They grew up together and would even wear the same outfits every day. Not only that, but they would go to dance lessons and even study abroad together too.

Being born into a family that favored sons over daughters, Rosie always envied Anya, who was the apple of her family’s eyes. Not to mention, ever since she became best friends with her, her status in the family rose considerably. After all, not only was Anya the golden child in her family, but she was also Jeremy’s savior.

To get on the Holdens’ good side, Rosie’s parents and grandparents started treating her better. They would buy her presents and hold an extravagant birthday party for her, just to invite Anya and Jeremy over to socialize with them.

In fact, because of Anya’s recommendation, Rosie’s family received some business and investment from both the Riveras and Holdens, and the family business gradually revived. With the Riveras’ and Holdens’ help, Rosie’s family started to gain importance within the business circles. Ultimately, her family business became more prosperous.

In the end, Rosie was hailed as the heroine who saved the family from bankruptcy. Because of this, she had always felt indebted to Anya. She saw Anya as the friend she could always count on, so she never expected Anya would use her like that.

The shock of the discovery must have been too big of a blow as Rosie suddenly felt dizzy and was about to collapse to the ground when Corinne quickly caught her just in time.

“Miss Rosie, are you okay?” Rosie felt she was about to be sick. Frowning, she tried with some difficulty to open her eyes. After a while, Corinne’s beautiful face slowly came to focus.

“Corinne…thank you for telling me the truth. Sorry for dropping in so suddenly.

I’m going to head to Anya’s to ask her how she could lie to her best friend.” She pushed Corinne away, straightened herself, and staggered out of the room, nearly hitting some furniture on her way out. It was obvious she still had not recovered from the shock.

Seeing this, Corinne raised her eyebrow and went to support her.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1006-“Miss Rosie, you don’t look too well. Should I ask my driver to give you a ride?” asked Corinne. She was not worried about Rosie since she used to hurt her.

She just did not want the Holdens to get into trouble should anything happen to Rosie on her way to Anya’s house.

Holden Group’s share price needed some time to recover to its previous height, and it was best not to let another scandal happen to throw a wrench into the whole thing again.

Rosie waved her hand and shook her head determinedly. “No, leave me alone. I can get to Anya’s house by myself.”

She did not dare to ride in the Holdens’ car as Jeremy had put a hit on her.

News must not have reached the mansion yet since no one tried to capture her yet. However, what if the driver accidentally reported her to Jeremy, and he asked the driver to drive her to Holden Group? She would not be able to get away then.

Thus, Rosie insisted on leaving alone.

She opened the door and was about to step out when she suddenly turned.

“Corinne, if it’s not too much trouble, can you please walk me out of the mansion? I’m worried I’d bump into Grandpa Greg and Grandma Pamela… What if they start asking me questions?” After thinking it over, Corinne nodded and walked out with her.

However, both Greg and Pamela were not downstairs. Corinne guessed they were probably napping in their room. The only person in the living room was Francine, who was rapidly flipping through the TV channels with a bored expression.

Chester could not tutor her on that day as he had something to do in school, and she could not help but miss him. It felt like it had been ages since she last saw him.

Francine turned toward the stairs when she heard footsteps coming down. She saw Rosie walking down with Corinne behind her.

Remembering she forgot to greet Rosie when she first came in, Francine said, “Hey Rosie! Leaving so soon? Why don’t you stay for dinner as well? Jeremy will be back.” Francine had the impression Rosie was quite good friends with Jeremy, Zeke, and the others.

Rosie was a little taken aback. At that moment, any mention of Jeremy would send shivers down her spine. She squeezed out a smile and said, “It’s okay, Francine. I still have an errand to run. Let me buy you a meal some other day.” For the lack of anything better to do, Francine turned off the television and stood up. “Okay, I’ll see you off then.” Rosie’s expression changed subtly. “There’s no need for that, Francine. Please continue with what you were doing.” Francine had already walked up to her. She shrugged and said, “Don’t worry about it. Nothing interesting is on the television, anyway.” Rosie was speechless.

“Well, Miss Rosie, I guess I won’t need to see you off, now that Francine has volunteered to do that,” said Corinne. Then, to Francine, she said, “It’s best to call a taxi for Miss Rosie. She’s not feeling that well.” Francine nodded. “Okay.” Rosie was shocked to see Francine behaving so nicely toward Corinne. ‘Didn’t she used to hate Corinne with all her guts? Plus, I thought she was on Anya’s side… What changed to make her accept Corinne?’ “Let’s go, Rosie. Corinne has just got back and needs her rest so I’ll see you off,” said Francine to Rosie.

Rosie looked at Francine and then at Corinne, who wanted to go back to her room to nap.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1007-“Actually, I’d much prefer it if Corinne is the one to see me off,” said Rosie.

Corinne stopped walking and looked at her.

Francine frowned. “You don’t want me to see you off, Rosie?” Rosie shook her head. “No, it’s not that. It’s just I remembered I have something to tell Corinne, and it’s not something a kid like you should hear.” Francine’s cheeks puffed in anger. “Rosie, I’m not a kid anymore! I’m an adult!” Rosie smiled helplessly, but she did not say anything else to her. Instead, she looked at Corinne and said sincerely, “Corinne, can you please see me off? I remembered I have something to tell you. It’s about Jeremy…”

Corinne narrowed her eyes. After thinking it over, she finally nodded. “Okay.” Thus, the two of them walked toward the entrance.

‘I wonder what she has to say to me…’ thought Corinne. ‘There’s a chance she might tell me something important now that she knows Anya’s true colors.’ Francine secretly followed them out.

After a few steps, Rosie noticed Francine was following them, so she stopped walking and looked at her. “Francine, stop following us. What I have to say to Corinne isn’t suitable for a kid to hear.” Francine crossed her arms. “You can’t make me stop following you. Plus, I already said I’m not a kid anymore. I want to hear what you have to say about my brother, too!” Rosie frowned. “I really can’t say it in front of you ’cause it’s an X-rated topic.” Francine’s eyes widened in surprise as her cheeks turned red. As embarrassed as she was, she stubbornly insisted, “Well, I’m an adult now, so whatever you have to say to Corinne, you can say it to me too! Seriously, I don’t get why you’re making such a big fuss about this!” Rosie was at a loss of what to do but she stood her ground. Thus, they were at an impasse.

Seeing this, Corinne narrowed her eyes and beckoned Francine to come toward her.

Francine frowned and walked up to her. “What?” Corinne leaned over and whispered something to her ear, causing Francine’s stubborn expression to immediately disappear.

“Fine, I get it. I’ll stop following you guys. Happy?” said Francine.

After that, she strode up the stairs.

Rosie was awed to see the stubborn Francine so easily handled by Corinne.

“What did you say to Francine?” Corinne smiled. “It’s a secret.” Rosie frowned. “I respect you, Corinne. Not only did you make Jeremy fall head over heels with you, but even Francine, who used to hate you with all her guts, came around to liking you.” Corinne was unfazed by the high praise. “You’re too kind, Miss Rosie. Let’s walk to the foyer now. I’m so looking forward to what X-rated things you have to tell me.” Rosie’s lips twitched. She only used the excuse of Francine ‘being a kid, thus not suitable to hear what they had to say’ to make her stop following them.

‘Does Corinne really think I have something X-rated to tell her?’ wondered Rosie.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1008-Once they were outside the gate, Corinne stopped walking and looked at Rosie.

“You can say whatever you want to say to me here.” Rosie looked around her. “But there’s a surveillance camera here. If I remember correctly, the surveillance system the Holdens use can pick up sounds as well.” Corinne raised her eyebrow. “That is correct, but no one will check the records unless something out of the ordinary happens. You don’t have to worry about anyone finding out about what you say to me.” Rosie looked troubled. “But there’s still a record of what I said. It’s hard for me to say what I have to say when I know it’ll leave a record. It’s just too embarrassing. Corinne, why don’t we go a bit further ahead? The surveillance

camera won’t be able to pick up our conversation if we go to that alley there.

What do you say?” Corinne looked up at the surveillance camera, and then at the alley Rosie was pointing at. Not only would the surveillance camera be unable to pick up any sound from there, but the alley was also its blind spot.

She grew vigilant. Not only was Rosie trying to lure her to where the surveillance camera could not see them, but she also stopped Francine from following them.

Seeing the hesitation on Corinne’s face, Rosie asked, “Are you worried I’ll do something to you?” Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Well, will you?” Rosie smiled wryly. “You’re overthinking things, Corinne. You’ve already shown me Anya’s true colors, so why would I do the dirty work for her now? Besides, even if I want to hurt you, I wouldn’t have chosen this time since Grandpa Greg, Grandma Pamela, and Francine all knew I had come to find you.

“Not to mention, Francine saw you walking out with me. Not only do I the Holdens would blame me if something were to happen to you.” Corinne narrowed her eyes. ‘She’s right,’ she thought. Thus, she smiled and said, “Fine. Let’s go to that alley, then.” Corinne followed Rosie to the mouth of the alley. “Now are you going to tell me just what is this all about?” Rosie nodded. “Yup. This place is perfect.” “Spit it out then. What X-rated thing did my husband do that I didn’t know?” Rosie’s eyes dimmed a little as she stared into Corinne’s eyes. “Well, Jeremy… He…” She dragged out her words to buy herself some time because she found what she was about to say very embarrassing.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine starting came from inside the alley. Rosie took a glance to confirm the situation before pushing Corinne to the ground.

“I have had it with you, Corinne! Drop dead!” Corinne’s eyes widened in shock. She lurched and fell to the middle of the alley.

Hearing the sound of a speeding car, she instinctively looked toward the sound’s direction. The car headlights instantly blinded her, even though it was broad daylight.

Bang!

Corinne flew into the air and landed on the windshield before rolling down to the ground. Blood immediately gushed out from the back of her head.

The car reversed a few feet before quickly escaping through the avenue in front of the Holdens’ mansion.

Rosie pretended to chase after the car so that the surveillance camera would have a record of her panicking. She then went back to the crime scene.

No one inside the mansion heard what happened outside since the walls were all soundproofed.

Corinne laid in a pool of blood with her eyes closed. At that moment, there seemed to be no signs of life coming from her

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1009-Rosie looked down at Corinne’s unmoving body with hatred.

“Did you really think you could drive a wedge between Anya and me? Well, you’re a fool if you think I’m going to believe anything you say. You deserve every bad thing coming for you, you shameless b*tch!” Rosie waited a few more minutes to make sure Corinne was dead before running hysterically into the Holdens’ mansion, shouting, “Grandpa Greg!

Grandma Pamela! Francine! Come out quick! Corinne has been hit by a car!” Bowen was the first to rush out. “What did you say, Miss Rosie?!” he asked with shock.

“I told Corinne she didn’t have to see me off, but she insisted on walking me to a spot where it’ll be easier to call for a taxi. I couldn’t. She wouldn’t listen to me, so I let her walk me there. A car suddenly sped out of the alley and hit Corinne!

It was a hit-and-run!” whimpered Rosie.

“What?!” exclaimed Pamela who, along with Greg, had come out in time to hear what happened. She turned pale and nearly fainted, but Greg managed to catch her before she could fall.

Greg was calmer than her.

“How is she doing? Where’s she now?” he asked.

“She’s lying bleeding on the ground outside. I gave her CPR, but she didn’t respond…” Pamela clutched her chest as though she was about to have a heart attack.

“Did you call the ambulance?” Greg asked with a frown.

Rosie shook her head frantically. “No… I was panicking so much that I forgot… I’ll call them now.” “Get the family doctor to check on Corinne now before the ambulance gets here,” Greg ordered Bowen sternly.

Bowen had already done that. “Yes, Mister Greg! Should I notify Mister Jeremy about what happened?” After thinking it over, Greg replied, “No. I don’t want him to panic and get into an accident too.” Bowen thought that was sensible of Greg. After that, he rushed out to check on Corinne too.

Pamela’s chest hurt terribly. She clutched at her chest tightly as tears streamed down her face.

“Corinne… Oh, Corinne… Please let nothing happen to that poor girl!” She then got up to go outside, but Greg grabbed her hand to stop her. “You won’t do Corinne any favor if you go outside now. What if you fainted again?

Should the doctor save you or Corinne first?” Pamela knew her body very well, and there was indeed a high chance of her fainting. Thus, she stayed inside. She wiped her tears, sat on the sofa, and took some anti-anxiety pills.

The ambulance’s siren wailed across the air.

The hospital reeked of the smell of death and disinfectant.

The surgery room’s light had been lit for quite some time as everyone stood waiting outside with either a solemn expression or a tear-streaked face.

Jeremy received the news from Tommy after his meeting ended. He immediately rushed over to the hospital. Lucas, too, rushed over after Rosie told him what happened over the phone.

Lucas got there before Jeremy. The moment he saw him, he threw away his crutches and punched him.

“You b*stard! How can you let something like this happen to her?!

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1010-Lucas’ punch startled everyone.

Francine ran over and shoved Lucas away. “Why did you hit my brother? Who do you think you are?! You have no right to meddle in our family affairs!” she shouted.

Jeremy simply wiped away the blood from his lips and strode to the surgery room. He was about to push open the door when Tommy stopped him.

“Mister Jeremy, you’ll only serve as a distraction to the doctors if you go in now.

Why don’t you let the doctors do what they do best and wait outside?” Jeremy lost his mind when he heard Corinne was hit by a car. At that moment, his eyes were blood-red, but Tommy’s words seemed to have hit the mark

because he seemed to have calmed down slightly.

He turned to Greg and Pamela, who were comforted by their servants. He wanted to ask them what happened but feared that by doing so, it would worsen their already ill health. Thus, he turned to Francine instead.

“Come here, Francine.” Francine immediately walked over. “Yes, Jeremy?” “I saw her go into the mansion after dropping her off. She should’ve been resting at home. How did she end up getting hit by a car?” demanded Jeremy, his expression taken with silent rage.

Francine was worried about Corinne, too. She did not expect something like this to happen either.

“Corinne actually came back with Rosie in tow. She said they had something to talk about, so they went into your room after that. After some time, Rosie said she needed to leave, so Corinne went to see her off… That was when she got hit by the car.” It was only then Jeremy realized Rosie was there, too. He fixed his murderous gaze on her as though she was a prey.

“You again?” The word ‘again’ was significant as it implied Jeremy had decided she was the culprit.

Corinne was nearly hit by a car three days ago. Fortunately, Lucas managed to push her out of the way. After some investigation, they found out the driver was working under Rosie’s order, but Rosie had gone into hiding by then.

After two days of searching for her, Jeremy’s men came up empty-handed.

Jeremy never expected Rosie would be brazen enough to finish what she started by going into their home.

Jeremy’s eyes were so vicious that it sent a chill down Rosie’s spine. She pretended to be calm as she said, “Why… Why are you looking at me like that?

I didn’t do anything. I… I only went to find Corinne to…to hang out…” Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “You never liked her, so why would you want to hang out with her? Not to mention, Corinne was nearly hit by a car three days ago, and we found out you were the mastermind behind it!” Rosie started trembling, but she then recalled what Anya said to her over the phone. She remembered she should not panic.

“You’re right. I was the one behind the incident three days ago. I mistakenly thought Corinne was fooling around with Lucas. In a blind rage, I hired someone to scare her. But I never meant to cause any harm! The driver was only under the instruction to scare her, not hit her! You should blame the driver for his bad driving skills instead of me!

“I swear what happened today has nothing to do with me! Honest to god! I went to find her because I wanted to ask her something about the baby she’s carrying, and I got the answer I wanted. After that, she insisted on seeing me off, but a car suddenly sped out of the alley as we walked, and…” “Why ask about the baby she’s carrying?” asked Jeremy coldly.

“Because I heard you’re not the baby’s father…and that the father is actually Lucas… So I wanted to confirm it with her,” said Rosie hesitantly.
