The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1021-The nurses left the morgue after they put Corinne’s body on the stainless steel table.

Before they left, one of them said, “Miss, I know you’re sad about your friend’s death, but it’s best not to stay in this place for too long. You can leave after you’ve said your goodbyes.” Anya nodded. “Okay. Thank you, nurse. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” “And whatever you do, don’t lift the white cloth on the dead body, okay? I don’t want you to be frightened by the patient’s face; car crash victims aren’t always pretty to look at. There’ll be plenty of time to look at her after the morgue makeup artist works her magic on your friend,” added the nurse.

Anya secretly jumped for joy, though she outwardly expressed sorrow. “Okay. I understand.” After that, the nurses left her in the morgue as they had other duties to attend to.

As soon as they left, Anya lifted the white cloth off Corinne’s face—or, at least, what was left of her face. All she could see was a bloody pulp. It was a disgusting sight to behold. Anyone in their right mind would have puked.

Anya was obviously not in her right mind as she suddenly cackled.

“Hahahahaha! Serves you right, Corinne! Who’s the pretty one now? The car did a number on your face, huh?

“Oh, what a pity you’re dead. I would love to find out whether Jeremy would still love you with this new ugly face of yours if you survived! My guess is he wouldn’t. In fact, he’ll puke if he sees your face now!

“After all, men are visual creatures. The only reason he liked you was because you were pretty. Tsk, tsk, tsk! Why did you have to die so easily? What a buzzkill. You must feel lucky to have died at a point where Jeremy loves you the most.

“Imagine if you didn’t die but lost the baby, all while having to live with that ugly face for the rest of your life… You’ll experience what it feels like to have Jeremy slowly get tired of you until he decides to abandon you one day. Oh, just the thought of it makes me want to jump for joy! It’s a pity you’re dead, Corinne.

Hahahahaha!” Anya did not feel any discomfort or fear at being alone in a room full of dead people—which contradicted her innocent, fragile image. She laughed louder and more maniacally until she stopped to look down and spat at Corinne’s bloody pulp of a face.

“Tch! A country bumpkin like you will never be a worthy match for Jeremy. The only advantage you had over me is your pretty face, but even now, that’s gone!

What’s more, I’ll never forgive you for stealing the title of his savior from me, you b*tch!

“Did you really think you can be with him forever just because you’re his savior?

Dream on! Jeremy is mine! I’m going to be with him forever and give him many babies! And there’s nothing you can do about it ’cause you’re dead! Hahaha!

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1022-Anya knew there was no surveillance camera in the morgue, so she dropped her sweet facade. Finally able to unleash all of the resentment she held toward Corinne, she cursed at her in every horrible way she could think of.

“You’ve beaten me every time, but all that doesn’t matter now since I’m the final winner! Hahaha! You lost, Corinne!” Anya never planned to kill Corinne since she thought a country bumpkin like her was not worth dirtying her hands for. However, not only did Corinne steal Jeremy away from her, but she caused her to lose the trust and love of her family as well!

“Serves you right for stealing everything from me!”

Content with how long she unleashed mouthfuls of curses toward Corinne, Anya decided it was time to leave the morgue.

She turned around and was immediately shocked when she saw Corinne staring at her two meters away.

‘Ahh! It’s a ghost!’ Anya staggered back, nearly falling to the floor. She looked down at the Corinne lying on the stainless steel table, and then at the regularlooking Corinne staring at her. Both versions wore the same clothes.

“Are… Are you a ghost?” asked Anya shakily.

The spot where the other Corinne stood was too dim to let Anya see whether she was real or simply just a shadow.

Corinne silently smiled, which just made her look more sinister.

Anya forced herself to swallow her fear. She glared at Corinne and shouted, “Even if you’re a ghost, I’m not scared of you! I wasn’t afraid of you when you were alive, so what makes you think I’d be scared of you when you’re dead?!” She quickly took out her phone and threw it at Corinne. The phone simply passed through her body and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Anya was shocked. ‘She really is a ghost!’ “Who do you think you’re trying to scare, Corinne? You’re already dead, so why don’t you hightail back to hell?!” Corinne smiled. “I’m going to scare you to death.” Anya took a deep breath and scoffed in mock bravado. “You’re going to scare me to death? Well, sorry to disappoint, but you’re going to end up disappointed.

I’m not going to be scared by a stupid ghost like you!” Corinne frowned. “Is that so? I thought a spoiled princess like you must be a coward.” Anya realized Corinne never attempted to move toward her during their exchange, so she became even bolder

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1023-‘Corinne would’ve turned me into shreds now if she’s a ghost capable of hurting people. Since she didn’t, it means the only thing she can do is to scare me,’ thought Anya.

Anya cleared her throat and said, “Give it up, Corinne. You can’t scare me.” Corinne sighed. “Fine. Since I can’t scare you, can you, at least, tell me something so I can rest in peace?” Anya frowned in confusion. “Tell you what?” Corinne blinked innocently. “Tell me how to be as good as you in pretending to be the nice girl and how to take advantage of the people around you. I admire how you can get everyone to willingly do the dirty work for you.”

Anya glared at her. “Stop being sarcastic, Corinne! Have you forgotten how you caused me to lose the trust of all the people that used to love me?” Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Are you sure I did that and not you? Anya, you’ve not only used and lied to brothers and best friend but also the man you love the most. Is there no one in this world you care about?” Anya threw her head back in laughter. “Of course I do. In fact, I’ve always cared a lot about all of them.” Corinne narrowed her eyes. “You wouldn’t have used them if you truly cared about them.” Anya crossed her arms haughtily. “That’s just how relationships work. You’ll inevitably use or get used by others. You can’t possibly think they didn’t use me too, right? Corinne, you’re insufferable even when you’re a ghost. When are you ever going to stop pretending to take the moral high ground?” Corinne ignored her jabs and instead said, “But I only ever see you using others. Tell me—just how did the others use you?” “Why don’t you leave the living to the living? I’m going out now, so move aside! I don’t have the time to waste with a ghost.” Corinne remained standing where she was. “Come on. I’m already dead, and no one else is here, so please just answer my question. I want to learn from you how to manipulate others so I can use it in my next life.” Anya was starting to get impatient but not enough to allow her to run through a ghost without fear.

“What do you want to know?” “I want to know how those people you used—Lucas, Sunny, Rosie, Jeremy, and Francine—used you. From what I could see, they treated you with nothing but kindness.” Anya looked at Corinne’s curious face and thought, ‘Is she going to haunt me forever if I don’t tell her? I might as well explain everything to her. It’s not like she can do anything with the information, right?’ “You’re right. They were all very good to me, but they’re only doing it for their personal benefits and aim. They’re no better than me, frankly.” Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Can you give me an example?” Anya scoffed. “Okay. Take Lucas for example. From the outside, he’s the doting brother who thinks I can do no wrong. He’s always the first to jump out to protect me no matter what. But the truth is, he did it to satisfy his own agenda.” Corinne tilted her head. “What do you mean? Mister Lucas seems like he cherishes you. He even gave up his principles for you!” Anya chuckled softly. “That hypocrite didn’t do it for me. The only person he truly cherishes is his long-lost sister. He wouldn’t even spare me a glance when I first moved in to live with him and the rest of the family with my mom.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1024-“It wasn’t until I started imitating Luna’s quirks, habits, and looks did Lucas accept me as his sister! I was just a replacement for his long-lost sister.

Everything he’s done for me is an attempt to assuage his regret toward his sister! Not only am I not thankful toward him, but I feel he’s a hypocrite,” said Anya.

Corinne was stunned. After a moment of silence, she asked, “What about Sunny? From what I can tell, he treats you really well…doesn’t he?” Anya rolled her eyes. “He’s nothing but a stupid, ungrateful brat. He’s only nice to me because I’ll put in a few good words for him to Lucas when he screws up his test. That way, he’ll get a lesser punishment.

“He became taken in by you and kept telling me how great you are. Hmph! If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought you’re his sister instead of me from the way he kept defending you, an outsider, from me.” “Then what about Jeremy? How did he use you? You lied to him about saving him, right? That was why he treated you as his savior,” said Corinne.

Anya’s expression softened at the mention of Jeremy. “He was good to me before you came into the picture. Even so, I knew he didn’t do it out of love for me. He was just trying to pay me back for saving him.

“Not to mention, he knew I’d tell him everything I know about what’s going on in my family company. You see, not only do both of our families hold a grudge against each other, but Rivera Group is Holden Group’s biggest competitor.

There were a few instances where he was able to easily outbid my brother for multi-million projects by using the information I gave him.” Corinne took a few seconds to digest what Anya told her before asking again, “What about Francine? She always wanted you to be her sister-in-law. She didn’t hide the fact she hates me and kept causing me trouble when I first moved in with Jeremy.” A look of contempt filled Anya’s eyes at the mention of Francine. “Why, she’s the most shallow and basic girl I’ve ever met! She’s nice to me ’cause she knows I’m willing to buy her branded bags, shoes, and clothes.

“She’s the illegitimate daughter Jeremy’s father had with another woman, and the only reason she was allowed to live with the main family is because she’s the first daughter in so many generations of sons.

“Even though she grew up living at the mansion, she didn’t have that much money to throw around since her grandparents kept a tight lid on her spending.

She hasn’t really been exposed to high-end brands. I’d give her the bags and shoes I deem too ugly to sell. Whenever that happens, that stupid girl will jump for joy and run around me like a little puppy.” Corinne was struck speechless. It took her a while to ask Anya the final question. “Then…surely Rosie is the exception to all these people?” Anya had just as much contempt for Rosie as she had for Francine. “Rosie? I’ve never once thought of her as my best friend. It’s very obvious she’s only nice to me because she wants to use me to get closer to Lucas and marry into our family.” “Then did you ever have the intention to set her up with Mister Lucas?” Anya scoffed. “Of course not! Who does she think she is? My brother is one of the richest men in this country while she’s just a third-rate socialite. She’s beneath Lucas, and letting her marry into the family will drag our family name down, too! Though, I guess I should thank her for getting rid of you.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1025-Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Is this how you show your gratitude? By letting Rosie take all the blame and go to prison in your place?” “Why not? I’ll go visit her often and make sure she gets plenty of good food in the prison,” remarked Anya.

Corinne tutted. “Miss Anya, I’m guessing you think you’re being quite generous, don’t you?” Anya glared at Corinne. “You b*tch. What gives you the right to teach me how to be a decent human being? Everyone loved and trusted me before you came into the picture. I was the center of their worlds, and they were willing to do anything for me!

“They all hate me now, and it’s all your fault! I hate you for stealing Jeremy from me, Corinne, and I hate you even more for causing me to lose everything!

Because of you, I have to start everything from scratch and work harder to make them trust me again!” Corinne glared at her. “Did you even, for one second, think you lost everything not your deceitful behavior? No one can make you lose anything if you’ve acted honestly and just.” Anya did not take her words seriously at all. “Spare me the lecture, Corinne.

Instead of wasting your time here spouting all those hypocritical words, you should just go to hell! Hahahaha!” Corinne remained calm at Anya’s insults. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said, “Alright, time to get up, everyone! Come and see Miss Anya’s true colors!” This startled Anya. She did not understand what Corinne was trying to pull.

‘Who is she talking to?’ She got her answer a second later. A chill went up her spine when she saw the supposedly dead bodies sitting up one after another, causing the white cloth covering them to fall off.

She immediately fell backward to the ground. ‘What the hell is going on? Don’t tell me Corinne can summon the dead now that she’s a ghost!’ she thought, turning pale.

As she was trembling, one of the dead bodies jumped down from the table, strode toward her, and slapped her face.

“Anya, you heartless, two-faced btch! I think of you as my best friend, yet this is how you treat me? How can you abuse my trust like that? I was even willing to go through sht to make you happy!” Anya clutched her cheek and looked fearfully at the dead body who slapped her.

After taking a clearer look, she realized it was no dead body but Rosie instead!

‘Rosie?! What is she doing here? Didn’t Jeremy get rid of her?’ Before she could figure out what was happening, a slap landed heavily on her other cheek.

Francine, too, had jumped from her table and ran over to slap her.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1025

 

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1026-“You evil woman! I can’t believe I wanted you to be my sister-in-law. How dare you call me basic, stupid, and say horrible things about my past? You can take back all the ugly bags and shoes you gave me! I should’ve never trusted you!

No wonder Jeremy didn’t want to marry you! Corinne is so much better than you! In fact, you’re worse than trash! Tch!” Anya looked at Francine with shock and embarrassment. “No, Francine… This is all a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean what I said about you just now… You should know I treated you the best out of everyone. Any time I saw something I thought you’d like, I’d buy it for you no matter how expensive they were…” Francine actually got angrier after that. She slapped Anya another two times.

Slap! Slap!

“Tch! Stop lying, Anya! I might not have believed you were that kind of person if I hadn’t heard it myself. Since I have, you should know you’ll never worm out of this. You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever met in my life!” rebuked Francine with her hands on her hips.

‘Sh*t, I think I hurt my hips. Those two slaps took a lot out of me. It’s all that hypocrite’s fault! It’s a good thing Corinne was smart enough to predict Anya’s every move. If not, we wouldn’t have thought to hide in the morgue,’ she thought.

Francine was reluctant to go along with Corinne’s plan because the Anya she knew was not a scheming, manipulative person. Well, she was certainly proved wrong. Not only was Anya scheming and manipulative, but she was also cruel, ruthless, and good at hiding her true colors.

By then, Anya’s hair was sticking up all over her head from all the slaps she received. She clutched her cheek and looked at Francine pitifully as she tried to explain, “Francine… It’s not what you think it is…” However, the person standing in front of her was no longer Francine but Sunny.

‘Sunny is here too?’ She was very relieved to see him, thinking here was someone who had come to her defense and to protect her. She grabbed his arm and said, “Thank god you’re here, Sunny! Quick, help me up!” However, Sunny simply stood still. He did not panic over her nor did he worry about her health, which was what he would usually do. No matter how Anya pulled him, he did not bend down to help her up.

Disappointment and hurt filled his eyes when he looked down at Anya, who he used to think was the most perfect, kindest, and angelic person in the whole world.

After a while, he shook off Anya’s hand and growled, “Don’t touch me, b*tch!

You’re no sister of mine! I’ll never accept such a despicable woman as my sister!” Just when Anya thought Sunny would save him, he ruthlessly flung her to the floor. This time, she fell even harder than the previous two times. After all, no matter how hard Rosie and Francine slapped her, their strength could never match that of a man.

Anya was flung so hard that she was almost lying face down on the ground.

After taking some time to compose herself, she climbed up and wrapped her arms around Sunny’s legs. “Sunny, how could you treat me like this? I’ve spoiled you since you were little. Why are you treating me like a stranger?!” Disgusted by her touch, Sunny grabbed her wrist and flung her away again.

“Well, you called me an ungrateful brat, right? I’m just being who you said I am!

I’d rather be an ungrateful brat than have an evil sister like you! Now, get lost!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1027-After that, Sunny ran out as he wiped his tears.

What happened today was a huge blow to him, and his whole world almost collapsed. He found it difficult to accept that his own sister turned out to be the kind of person he despised the most.

If Corinne had not sent him a text asking him to come to the hospital to see Anya’s true color, he would never have believed Anya to be that kind of person in a million years.

His young heart would definitely need some time to recover from this kind of trauma.

‘All this while, I thought Corinne was the one trying to steal Jeremy away from Anya… Oh, how I regret doing all those mean things to her!’ he thought.

Anya quickly sat up from the floor to chase after Sunny, wanting to explain things to him. She had lost Greg’s, Pamela’s, Lucas’, and Maxwell’s trust. She could not afford to lose Sunny’s trust, too!

After all, she and her mother depended on Sunny to take care of them for the rest of their lives once he inherited all of the Riveras’ fortune.

However, no matter how much strength Anya exerted, she could not get off the floor. She suffered too much shock, causing her to feel weak in her limbs.

Not giving up, she started crawling along the floor. Her hair was all messed up and covered half of her face, making her look like a banshee who crawled out of the deepest depth of hell. She kept crawling until a pair of familiar leather shoes appeared before her. She slowly raised her head and saw Lucas staring down at her.

“Lucas…” she whimpered. “Lucas, help me up. I…I feel too weak to get up by myself…” Lucas looked at her coldly. “What did you just call me?” Anya reached out with tears streaming down her cheeks, hoping Lucas would hold her and tell her everything would be alright—just like how he always did before.

“Lucas… It’s me, Anya!” Lucas chuckled wryly. “Anya, you say?” “Yes! It’s me, Anya! Your sister who you love the most. I can’t get up. Please help me.” “Oh, I know very well who you are.” Anya smiled with relief. “Good, good. Now help me up. I don’t feel too good. I think I’ve been poisoned. I feel so weak all over…” Lucas remained unmoving. “Excuse me, miss, but why are you treating me as if I’m your brother? Didn’t you say I don’t see you as who you are but simply as a replacement for my actual sister?” Anya was dumbfounded. “No, Lucas… It isn’t what you think. I didn’t mean what I said. I only said those things to hurt Corinne. You mustn’t believe what I said just now.” “I’m really disappointed in you. I admit, part of the reason I treat you nicer than the rest is because you remind me of Luna. For the most part, however, it’s because you’re also my sister, Anya! How could you call me a hypocrite?” “Lucas! Lucas…” “You’re even more vile than I thought.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1028-Anya shakily grabbed Lucas’ legs.

“No, Lucas. It’s not like that… Corinne’s ghost made me say all those things!

Even in death, she insists on making life hell for me! This is what she wanted!

She won’t stop until everyone leaves me! Lucas, you can’t let her fool you!” Lucas looked down at her condescendingly and frowned with disgust. He then lifted his leg to make Anya let go and stepped back to distance himself from her.

Not caring how pathetic she looked, Anya crawled toward him again, hoping he would eventually come to her rescue as usual.

However, mid-way through, she heard Beatrice’s voice coming from the door.

“Anya, stop being so stubborn. Just admit you were wrong.”

This stopped Anya in her tracks. She turned toward the door, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw Beatrice walking through the door with Corinne supporting her. A split second later, Cedric also appeared with his personal butler.

‘Is that Corinne? Isn’t she supposed to be dead?!’ Anya snapped her head back to look at the dead body with the mangled face. It was right there!

However, Corinne’s ‘ghost’ was nowhere to be seen. In fact, the only soul standing where the ‘ghost’ used to be was Francine, who glared at her with her arms crossed.

‘How is this possible? Corinne’s supposed to be dead! The phone even flew through her body when I threw it at her! What is going on?! It can’t be a coincidence for everyone to be here while I said all those things… Corinne must’ve planned all of this! That means she wasn’t dead!’ Amid Anya’s inner turmoil, Cedric and Beatrice slowly walked up to her. Once they stopped in front of her, Beatrice sighed and said, “Anya, your grandfather and I heard everything you said to Corinne. There’s no use arguing your way out of this.

“We’ve given you nothing but love over the years partly because you do look a little like Luna, but you should know you’re every bit as much as our precious granddaughter as she is! We’ve never seen you as just her replacement. We love you for who you are.

“Especially your brother, Lucas. You should know better than anyone how much he’s cared for you, protected you, and spoiled you for the past twenty years!

How could you say all those mean things about him?

“And in what world is it right to use other people? Seriously, you need to get your sense of entitlement in check! I bet it was your mother who taught you all these ridiculous values!” Anya shook her head rapidly and said tearfully, “No, Grandma! It’s not like that! I didn’t…” Cedric scoffed. “Give it up, Beatrice. There’s no saving this one. She’s becoming more like that scheming, unscrupulous, and unrepentant mother of hers.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1029-Anya looked at Cedric pitifully. “Grandpa, I didn’t! Corinne made me say all those things…” Cedric turned away in disappointment, unable to stand the sight of her. After all, she had brought nothing but shame to the family.

Unable to get sympathy from anyone, Anya broke down into hysterics. Pointing at Corinne, she said, “This is all her doing! She’s the mastermind behind all of this! She’s supposed to be dead, yet she’s standing there without a scratch on her!” Both Cedric and Beatrice frowned at how unrepentant Anya was.

Corinne looked down at Anya and chuckled softly. “Without a scratch on me?

Are you blind, Anya? Do you not see this thing on my head?” she asked as she pointed to her bandaged head.

Anya frowned. If she could, she would have killed Corinne with her glare.

“Why did you pretend to be dead if it weren’t to trick me into saying all those things?!” “You’re right,” said Corinne with a nod. “I pretended to be dead for the precise reason you just mentioned.” Anya’s eyes lit up. She quickly turned to Beatrice and Cedric and said pitifully, “Grandpa, Grandma, Lucas, you heard what she said! She admitted she tricked me into saying all those things.” However, she failed to elicit the response she wanted from them. The three of them simply looked at her as though she was a lost cause.

“You’re right, I did trick you into saying those things,” said Corinne calmly. “I made you think I was dead so you’ll let your guard down. Only then would you be susceptible enough to reveal your real self. Miss Anya, those things you said about everybody just now were your real thoughts, were they not?” Anya crawled toward Corinne like a mad woman. She gnashed her teeth and screamed, “No! You set me up! You tricked me into saying those words! This is all your fault! All your fault!” Corinne stepped back just in time to prevent Anya from touching her. At the same time, Lucas stepped in front of Corinne and kicked Anya away.

Anya fell face down to the floor again. After struggling to prop herself up, she continued to scream hysterically, “Did you just kick me, Lucas? And all because of that b*tch? Hahahaha! And you say you’re not a hypocrite? Who in the world would kick their sister to save an outsider? How am I supposed to believe you when you say you love me? You can’t possibly still think you’re a good big brother after kicking me away!” Lucas looked at her with both anger and chagrin. “It’s my fault for spoiling you so much that you turned out to be so horrible! What I failed to do as a brother, I’ll let sheer experience teach you!” He looked toward the door and said, “Officers, you may all come in now. Please take her away, and give her the just punishment she deserves!” Anya was shocked. ‘The police are here?’ She instinctively turned toward the door.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1030-Several police officers immediately walked in. Two of them walked up to Rosie and put her in handcuffs while the rest lifted Anya from the floor and handcuffed her.

It took Anya a few seconds to register what was happening, but when she did, she immediately struggled. “What is this? What right do you have to handcuff me?!” she screamed.

“Miss Anya, you’re suspected of abetting others to commit contract killing. We need you to come with us to the station to help with the investigation,” said the lead officer.

Anya chuckled coldly. “Where’s the proof of me having done what you’re accusing me of? Did that b*tch Corinne put you all up to this? Heh! You’ll be a fool if you think what she said can be trusted. I’m not going to the station with you all!” The lead officer frowned. “Miss Corinne has given us a piece of conclusive evidence. In the voice recording she provided us, you were heard encouraging Rosie to hire an outlaw to run Corinne over with a car. You now have to come to the station for an interrogation.” Anya’s mouth widened in disbelief. “What voice recording? That’s impossible!” She made sure to destroy the original voice recording. Corinne could not have gotten her hands on one!

The lead officer knew it would be useless to reason with a person who was not in their right mind, and it was not like he could haul her back to the station without using force. Thus, he took out a voice recording player and played the evidence for everyone there to hear.

The unedited version of the conversations between Anya and Rosie began to play.

‘What… How…’ How could something she had deleted appear again?

Anya glared at Corinne resentfully. “You! You did this! But how?!” Corinne smirked. Recovering a deleted voice recording was easy for her. Anya did delete the original recording, but she managed to hack into Anya’s phone and retrieved the original recording, which she then handed to the police.

With that recording, Anya could not possibly argue her way out of this. Thus, she allowed the officers to escort her out of the room with Rosie.

However, when she walked past Corinne, she suddenly changed her mind and stood firm. No matter how the officers prodded or pulled her, she would not leave. She simply stood still and glared at Corinne.

Corinne returned her glare with a smile. “I bet you’re still wondering why your phone was able to pass through my body, right?” Anya frowned and gnashed her teeth at Corinne. Her hate for Corinne was compounded by the fact of how she could easily see right through her.

“Tsk, tsk! If only you spent some time learning about the latest technological advancement instead of scheming, you would’ve figured out that what you thought was my ghost was nothing but a holographic projection of my real body!” said Corinne with a smirk.

“Why you!” Anya was so angry that she became lost for words.

‘I should’ve known it was a holographic projection! That d*mn Corinne! How did she ever come up with such an idea?! Ugh! I hate her so much!’ The officers had lost their patience by then. Not caring whether Anya was willing to cooperate, they finally resorted to using force to escort her out.
