Ch. 241..250

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 241-‘Is he still talking on the phone with the apple of his eye?‘ Corinne knew who Jeremy had received instructions from, since there could not have been anyone else aside from Anya. Postponing the divestment from the Suttons for further observation was undoubtedly done out of courtesy toward her.

It made sense and should not come as a surprise.

Corinne thought for a moment and said to Tommy, “I’ll go with you, but could you wait a moment for me, please?”

‘Wait? For what?‘ Tommy looked puzzled. “May I ask how long and what for, ma’am?” Corinne had a calm look on her face as she replied, “Until I settle things with Rosie.” Tommy was even more puzzled. He frowned and had a bad feeling, but as soon as he was about to ask in more detail, Corinne walked toward Rosie who was half–lying on the bed in an injured state.

As soon as Corinne approached them, Sunny stood up defensively in front of Rosie to stop her from going any nearer. He asked her, “What are you trying to do to Rosie?” Corinne had a gentle expression, and her tone was somewhat apologetic. “Her sprain isn’t my fault, but technically, I’m somewhat responsible for it too. My pettiness in refusing to help her fly a kite caused her to fall and break her foot, so I should take responsibility for what happened.” Sunny’s vigilant expression eased a little after seeing Corinne come over to admit her mistake. He let his guard down right away and frowned, his feelings conflicting. “Well, you don’t need to blame yourself for that. It’s not like you were the sole cause.” Indeed, Corinne was hardly responsible for Rosie’s fall, since he did notice that Corinne and Annie were flying a kite in the distance when the fall happened.

Moreover, Rosie did do something horrendous to Corinne, so it was understandable for Corinne to show an unwillingness to help Rosie fly a kite.

Rosie, however, cursed silently at Sunny for being such a dimwit when she heard him say that. After all, anyone with the slightest bit of IQ could tell that Corinne was up to no good, and the appropriate response would be to have one’s guard up against her ulterior motives!

As Rosie thought of that, she deliberately exaggerated the pain on her face and said sarcastically, “Forget it, Corinne. You don’t need to feel responsible for my injuries. It’s your right not to help me fly a kite. I don’t blame you at all. I can only blame myself for being unlucky…” Corinne walked past Sunny to the bed, looked at Rosie’s agonized expression, and insisted, “But I have to.” Rosie frowned and looked at Corinne defensively. A pitiful look of helplessness appeared on her face as she said, “Didn’t I say

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 242-Corinne looked at Rosie’s injured foot and said, “In my opinion, her foot injury isn’t a torn ligament but a sprain that resulted in a misaligned bone. I happen to know a bit of bone–setting techniques that would avoid the need for surgery.

Would you like to try restoring your foot to its original state without going under the knife?” Rosie sobbed and looked at Corinne. “Not a torn ligament? Stop talking nonsense, Corinne! Do you think the doctor’s diagnosis is wrong? Do you honestly expect me to believe the words of a layman rather than a doctor? This is ridiculous!”

Corinne did not explain much and took a few steps toward the end of the bed to reach out and touch Rosie’s injured ankle. Rosie immediately moved her leg away to prevent Corinne from touching her, and that movement was painful enough that she was sweating from the agony. She warned weakly, “Don’t touch me! Come and stop her, Sunny!” Sunny snapped back to her senses and immediately came over to stop her.

“Rosie’s already terrified. Why do you have to make her any more scared than she is now?” Corinne saved him before, and he still owed her a favor. As a result, he could understand Corinne’s dislike toward Rosie, but he also had to protect Rosie because she was his sister’s best friend.

Corinne looked sternly at Sunny and said, “I’m not kidding, Sunny. I do know some bone–setting techniques, and I can make your Rosie run and jump in just a minute! Can’t you give me a chance to make it up to her?” Sunny was stunned, and an indescribable feeling that compelled him to believe her appeared in him when he looked into Corinne’s bright eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned around to look at Rosie and suggested, “Why don’t you give Corinne a chance to help you? She might be able to do it!” Rosie was so angry when she heard that and almost fainted as a result. “Do you think I’m not miserable enough right now?” Sunny had an embarrassed expression. “Rosie, I just…” Corinne was running thin on patience, so she raised her hand to push Sunny.

“Quit talking nonsense and hold her down! I’m going to do it now!” Sunny was pushed two steps forward, and he hesitated for a second before deciding to do as told. He listened to Corinne’s words and pressed down Rosie’s upper body and legs. Corinne then immediately went over and twisted Rosie’s injured ankle.

Rosie let out an ear–piercing, agonized shriek.

Before the others could come forward in time to stop Corinne, she held Rosie’s ankle, twisted it twice, pushed hard, and was done.

Everyone was frightened, and they immediately gathered around to check on Rosie’s situation.

Corinne stepped back calmly, took out a tissue, and wiped her hands with great care–down to every finger.

Sunny helped Rosie up anxiously and asked eagerly, “How do you feel? Any better?” Rosie nearly fainted from the pain, and she regained her senses immediately before bursting into tears. “I… I can’t feel my foot! Will you be satisfied only after you make me disabled?!” ‘She can’t feel her foot?‘ Sunny panicked and glared at Corinne with resentment. “You lied to me, Corinne!” Corinne ignored him, threw the paper towel that she had just used to wipe her hands, then took out a black fuzzy thing from her pocket and tossed it over to Rosie!

Rosie was busy crying when she felt something hit her and was stunned for a moment. As soon as she lowered her head and took a closer look, she screamed in horror and was so terrified that she jumped off the bed to hide behind Sunny. “A mouse! Sunny, it’s a mouse! Get rid of it! Aghh!” Sunny was startled not by the mouse but by Rosie, who had jumped up all of a sudden

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 243-Sunny walked over, picked up the black furry lump on the bed, and realized that it was a rather disgusting–looking fake mouse. “It’s fine, Rosie! This is fake.” ‘What kind of sick hobbies does Corinne have? I can’t believe she carries this sort of thing with her, and she still has the mood to play pranks at such a time!

Why would she use that to scare Rosie when Rosie’s foot had gotten numb?

Wait a minute… Did Rosie just jump out of bed?!‘ Sunny snapped back to his senses and looked at Rosie in shock. “Rosie! Your foot… Is it alright now?” Rosie’s expression froze, and her mind went blank too. That was when she finally realized that she was standing perfectly fine without any help, and she

even jumped up seemingly painlessly earlier! ‘D*mn it! I jumped off the bed too swiftly because of that fake mouse, and there’s no way I can keep the charade up anymore!‘ The embarrassment and guilty conscience on Rosie’s face disappeared, and she immediately feigned a look of pleasant surprise as she smiled and said, “Whoa… My foot… It’s healed! This is amazing…” Though it was excruciatingly painful for Rosie when her ankle had been fiddled with by Corinne, she did not feel any pain at all after the twists and clicks were done. On the contrary, her foot felt quite good at the end of it. Needless to say, she still feigned unconsciousness on purpose because she could not stand to see Corinne receive praise or appreciation from anyone.

Alas, she never expected that Corinne would have such an ace up her sleeve and would use a fake mouse to scare her.

As a result, she lost her composure right then.

Everyone looked at Corinne in amazement, and even the residential ranch doctor had a look of admiration toward Corinne.

To try and restore her positive image in everyone’s eyes, Rosie thought for a moment and decided to rush over to Corinne. She then Corinne excitedly and thanked loudly, “You do know how to realign a person’s bones, Corinne! You’re so amazing! Thank you so much! I don’t have to worry about my broken foot affecting my dancing anymore!” After saying thank you loudly, Rosie leaned on Corinne’s shoulder again and whispered ruthlessly in a voice that only Corinne could hear, “You got me good this time, Corinne.” Corinne smiled, leaned into her ear, and whispered back, “You’re too kind. I’m more than capable of dealing with scheming women like you.” Rosie gritted her teeth angrily, and even the fake smile on her face stiffened.

“Don’t be so smug, Corinne! Do you think you’ve got things going for you if you can provoke Jeremy into divesting from the Suttons? A phone call from Anya is all it takes for Jeremy to change his mind immediately! It’s obvious who’s more important to Jeremy!” Corinne said insipidly. “Yeah, I know. Your best friend is more important than anyone to him.” Rosie snorted. “Good that you know your place! That is why you should quit doing all these useless moves to try and seduce Jeremy because everything will be futile in the end! Jeremy only has Anya in his heart, and you can’t compare to her at all!” Corinne did not seem to share her views. “You’re the one who’s pulling all these ridiculous little. schemes, Rosie. I never had any interest in trying to best Anya for being the more important person in Jeremy’s heart, but you’re sparing no small effort to make Jeremy hate me, even to the extent of gambling on your career! You’re lucky it was just a sprain. Don’t you think it’d be too high. a price for you to pay if your ligament was broken today?” Rosie smiled. “I don’t mind putting my career on the line for Anya’s happiness, so what’s it to you?” Corinne could not help but sigh. As wicked as Rosie was, her one redeeming factor was her fierce loyalty. Though Corinne did not know Anya personally, she had to admit that Anya was lucky to have made such a ‘good‘ best friend who would willingly commit self–sacrifice for her sake.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 244-At that moment, Zeke walked over with a smile, looking at the two of them and saying, “What are you two girls whispering about while you’re hugging?” Only then did Rosie let go of Corinne, turned her face, and smiled gently at Zeke.

“Zeke, I was thanking Corinne for curing my foot, but I was so excited that I couldn’t express it, so I just hugged her and didn’t want to let go!” As she said this, Rosie looked at Corinne, pretending to be apologetic as she asked hypocritically, Corinne, I didn’t scare you, did I?”

“No.” Corinne’s expression was calm, and she raised her hand to pat the folds on her shoulders when Rosie hugged her as if a fly landed on her shoulders.

Zeke also looked at Corinne and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect my new kin to be so slick at such a young age. Who did you learn your neat skill from?” When Rosie heard how Zeke addressed Corinne so affectionately and even praised her, she felt very upset and gritted her teeth secretly.

Without waiting for Corinne to answer, Rosie took the first step and exclaimed, “Zeke, I didn’t expect Corinne to be so capable from a young age. She must’ve been trained in the countryside since she was a child! The children in the countryside have started to be responsible at a very young age and have solid life skills, quite different from us who were spoiled since childhood.” These words sounded like modest words that praised Corinne and humbled herself as an immature person, but in truth, she insinuated that Corinne was from the countryside.

Rosie’s simple words seemed to draw an insurmountable boundary between Corinne and their group, separating Corinne from the outside, mocking that she and they were not in the same class at all.

Corinne could detect the underlying message, and she slightly raised the corners of her lips uncaringly.

Zeke’s sly eyes darkened, and his tone was uncharacteristically cold, “Rosie, since you’re good now, there’s no need for the ambulance to take you to the hospital then.” Zeke then took out his phone from his jacket pocket and tossed it to Rosie. “The first number in the call log is the doctor I just contacted for you. Call the doctor yourself and explain your situation.” Rosie took Zeke’s cell phone and was stunned in embarrassment before she smiled awkwardly.

“… Well, okay, I should call and explain what happened. Of course, I couldn’t bother the medical workers to make a trip for nothing!” After Zeke handed the phone to Rosie, his eyes did not linger on her.

He turned his head to look at Corinne. His handsome smiling eyes creased once more, full of appreciation and curiosity.

Because of what Rosie just said, there was no discrimination or ridicule toward Corinne.

Zeke then walked to Corinne’s side, placed his elbow lightly on the shoulder, and lightly flicked his thin wrist twice.

“To tell you the truth, I sprained my wrist before, and it hasn’t healed completely all these years. Since your husband and I are best friends, why don’t you help me to treat it? What do you say, sister?” While Zeke placing his elbow on Corinne’s shoulder might look intimate, it did not make people feel ambiguous at all. It was akin to a regular interaction between a brother and his sister.

Corinne narrowed her eyes at Zeke, looked down at his arm on her shoulder, raised her eyebrows again, and looked at him. “Are you sure you want me to help you?” As soon as Zeke saw the fierceness in Corinne’s sharp little eyes, he quickly withdrew his arm and smiled wittily. “Do you really want to help me cure it? Of course I’m willing! If you want to take revenge on me, then I think it’s okay!” Corinne smirked. “I’m glad that you’re very smart and self–aware!” Zeke clicked his tongue. “You’d do well to be careful in being indifferent.

Otherwise, I’ll have Jeremy go home and press you on the bed…to spank your *ss!” When she heard the words ‘press on the bed‘, Corinne thought that Zeke, a slimy guy, was going to say some inappropriate words.

Alas, being the little thin–skinned girl she was, her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 245-Did Zeke…actually mentioned spanking?!

Corinne frowned in disgust and pulled the corners of her mouth. “… Lame!” At this moment, Rosie had finished her call with the doctor and turned to see Zeke and Corinne standing together, talking and laughing. They looked harmonious and genial, like old friends who had known each other for many years.

This intensified her rejection of Corinne in her heart and her gaze hardened.

Although Zeke was usually talkative and playful, he was not as casual with just anyone. In fact, Zeke disliked joking with most of those he deemed insignificant, instead opting for a vicious mouth and concise words.

For Corinne to have made Zeke joke with her so enthusiastically…showed that Zeke truly regarded her like kin, a sister.

This was not right!

If Zeke regarded Corinne as a sister, who was Anya to him?

Rosie’s mind raced as she plotted ways to manipulate Corinne and make everyone hate her when all of a sudden, light knocks were heard on the door of the suite.

The sound drew everyone’s attention.

They saw a female staff of the racecourse standing at the door of the suite, wearing overalls with the words ‘Castle Horse Ranch‘ printed on her uniform.

The staff smiled and had a very respectful and polite attitude. She first bowed to the guests before she walked straight toward Rosie.

The staff then handed the checkout slip in her hand to Rosie and said respectfully, “Miss Rosie, this is all your expenses at the racecourse this time.

Please pay the bill.” Rosie was stupefied by this and frowned unhappily. “Who told you to come to me for payment?” The staff, a little confused, explained, “Someone just told our front desk that you need to pay the bill now, Miss Rosie, and that’s why we’re here. If it isn’t good timing now, Miss Rosie, it is also possible for us to instead look for you to settle upon checking out.” What? Someone notified the front desk and specifically requested for her to pay?

Rosie found this a little odd, so she took the invoice slip from the staff member and looked at it, her eyebrows furrowed.

*1800 dollars? How is it this much?! Every time we came here, it was never this expensive!” The staff innocently explained, “Miss Rosie, the 1800 dollars includes not only the consumption this time but also advanced payments for a reservation.” “Advanced payments for a reservation? What are you talking about?” “Yesterday, someone made a reservation in your name for three days at our Castle Horse Ranch next month. They also ordered three roasted whole lambs and a lot of dishes, saying that you’ll pay for them altogether today.” “What? Reserved for three days?” Rosie looked extremely shocked. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about this at all! Go back to whoever made this reservation; I didn’t ask for any of this nor should I pay for it.” The staff was a little dazed. “But the person promised you’d settle the payments, so we already ordered three of the best lambs from the local herdsmen overnight, as well as a lot of other expensive cooking ingredients and drinks in advance. Miss Rosie, if you unsubscribe now, we’ll be very embarrassed…” Rosie was incensed. “Who on earth asked you to make a reservation? They dare spend a lot of money here under my name?!” Corinne said, “I made the reservation

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 246-The stupefied Rosie stared at Corinne with a bit of contempt in her eyes. “So it was you, Corinne! Are you doing this because you’ll be here for three days in the next month and want to invite everyone over again?” Corinne nodded. “That’s right. It’s my treat.” Rosie laughed sarcastically. “That doesn’t make sense, now does it? Why would you ask me to pay for what you’re supposed to be ‘treating‘? That’s odd.” Corinne remained calm and was undeterred.

“Miss Rosie, did you forget something? You promised yesterday that as long as I can prove that I didn’t put that ear stud in your shoe, you’d pay for all the expenses for everyone that day. What’s wrong? Is Miss Rosie not willing to pay the bill now? Don’t you want to fulfill what you promised?” “Uh…” Rosie was flabbergasted by this.

She forgot about that!

However, when she promised to pay the bill, she estimated that the consumption of their group would be within a thousand dollars at most.

All of a sudden, it raked up to 1800 dollars!

This was not an easy sum for anyone, and she could even buy a limited edition designer bag with. that money!

“Corinne, I promised yesterday that I’d pay for everyone’s expenses for the day, but you booked the venue for next month, which obviously means it’s separate.

Those three days aren’t supposed to be totaled to yesterday’s expenses, so it shouldn’t be counted in yesterday’s account, right?” Corinne did not answer Rosie directly but instead looked at the staff and said, “Hi, may I ask if the things I ordered yesterday will be included in yesterday’s consumption? Is there any problem?” The racecourse staff was respectful and truthfully replied, “That’s right. The order you booked yesterday, as well as the receipt and the amount entered into the account, are all recorded in yesterday’s account, so it’s reasonable to settle together now. There are no problems here.” Rosie looked utterly displeased at the staff’s answer, and she stopped talking.

Corinne pursed her lips and smiled at Rosie. “I wanted to treat everyone to a big meal yesterday and have a good time, but because of what Miss Rosie had done yesterday, things happened one after another, which disallowed all of us from enjoying ourselves.

“I haven’t been able to sit and have a good meal all day, so I decided to book a three–day charter for next month, thinking that I’ll compensate everyone at that time. If Miss Rosie isn’t willing to pay for the bill, I’ll do it myself now.” With that said, Corinne took out her mobile phone, ready to pay the bill.

Of course, she was holding Jeremy’s phone, and if she wanted to pay, she would use his account balance.

She had no obligation to spend her money to please these people. Therefore, it was reasonable to spend the man’s money to invite his friends to dinner and entertainment.

Rosie froze, adjusted her stance, and smiled reluctantly.

“Oh, you misunderstood me, Corinne! Why would I not want to pay this little sum of money? You’re right,,I’m half responsible for making everyone unhappy this time. It’s all my fault that I did something wrong in a moment of confusion yesterday, and I should invite everyone to come again next month as compensation!

“By then, Anya will probably be back too! We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so we can get together and catch up! Let me pay the bill now!” Although Rosie was willing to pay the bill, she deliberately mentioned Anya’s impending return so as to secretly make Corinne feel bad.

However, Corinne did not care at all, and there was even a light, carefree smile on her face.” Alright, then. We’ll have Miss Rosie take care of our expenses.” Rosie moved to get her bag, took out a bank card from it, and handed it to the staff. “Go and swipe the card. There is no password.” “Understood, Miss Rosie.” The staff bowed and accepted the card before exiting to settle the payments.

At the same time, Rosie smiled brighter and pretended to be generous.

“It’s honestly not that expensive, Corinne,” she remarked. “It’s only a few thousand, and for us who spend money like water, it’s just a little sum! You’re probably not used to this level of consumption, huh? That’s why you think it’s a waste of money, but it’s really not!” The words seemed to be very polite, but indirectly, Corinne was classified as the only poor fellow, the only alien.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 247-However, not only was Corinne not embarrassed, but she also nodded frankly.

“Well, I am not used to it. I rarely spend money on such insignificant leisure and entertainment. I’m usually pretty frugal with my spending.” Rosie chuckled and looked at Corinne with the attitude of an aristocrat looking down on commoners.

“It doesn’t matter. We just have different values, and you’ll get used to it gradually. Rich and idle people like us usually have a lot of free time, and there’s nothing we need to do by ourselves, so we like to play around and spend money everywhere, spend some money to have some fun.”

Corinne’s expression was brief. “Oh, that sounds nice.” “Corinne, you should stay with us to nurture and be immersed in this life from now on,” said Rosie, sounding tolerant and accepting. “Otherwise, you’ll have different views when you’re with Jeremy, who was pampered since childhood, and it’ll be difficult for you to live together!” Corinne raised his eyebrows. “Is that so? Well, he should be educated in getting rid of his arrogance and extravagance!” She and Jeremy were not from the same world, and she never thought of assimilating into his lifestyle, so why should she integrate into their odd values?

It was very superficial!

As soon as Corinne spoke, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, Zeke could not help but slap Gerald’s shoulder as he let out a soft chuckle.

What a girl. She had a personality!

The others, too, looked at Corinne with different thoughts and opinions, but there was a layer of admiration in their eyes.

At the very least, no other woman dared to say that about Jeremy except her!

Corinne, however, did not realize that Jeremy had already returned by the time she spoke.

Upon hearing her remarks, the man stopped and stood at the door of the room, his eyebrows furrowed and his long eyes narrowed as he looked at her quietly with an expression of mixed emotions.

Arrogant? Extravagant?

Did this little rascal just say that about her husband?

Rosie was stunned for a moment, then smiled contemptuously when she came back to her senses. “Corinne, you really know how to joke! You want Jeremy to change for you? That’s impossible, I’m afraid. You know Jeremy was raised in the pampered laps of the Holden family, so how could he easily change his lifestyle? In fact, he’s so eligible that he doesn’t need to make any changes!” Corinne did not think so and raised her eyebrows lazily. “I’m sorry, but I’m not kidding when I say I don’t agree with your values. If you want ‘change, you’ll have to ask him to change it instead of asking me to be held by the distorted values of you rich kids, You’re influenced by edification and twisted into a vain, arrogant person. I don’t think there are any problems with my values, and I don’t plan to change them, thank you!” What?

Distortion? Vanity? Arrogance?

Rosie felt that Corinne’s words had offended everyone in the room.

She sighed peculiarly. “No, that’s not right. You’re so stubborn! It looks like you’re destined to find it difficult to agree with Jeremy’s views. With all due respect, such a marriage without consistent views is generally difficult to last!” That did not matter to Corinne. After all, their relationship was fake, and it would not last long.

“I don’t need an outsider to judge whether my views are consistent with my wife’s,” rang the man’s deep and calm voice, not of anger but intimidation.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 248-Jeremy walked in slowly and tossed the phone back to Sunny.

The man’s eyes were fixated on Corinne. He walked up to her, and as if caring for his child, he raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Even if we have different views, we can seek the common ground while reserving differences.” Corinne was startled.

‘Seeking common ground while reserving differences‘?

It sounded rather daunting to hear such words from the mouth of this cold– blooded, indifferent man.

After regaining her senses, Corinne’s lips unconsciously twitched. Did he hear what she said. earlier? Was he angry?

Rosie, too, was shocked to have heard how Jeremy described his relationship with Corinne. It was hard for her to accept it, but she did not dare to show it.

She could only explain with a sheepish smile, “Jeremy, I was just joking with Corinne!” Jeremy slightly turned his slender body and stood beside Corinne in a serious manner, looking at Rosie darkly. “Inappropriate jokes aren’t funny.” Rosie’s smile stiffened. “Uh… Jeremy, I’m sorry. I just thought that a girl who grew up in the countryside like Corinne has an easygoing, kind, and casual personality, and that’s why I was kidding with her. Corinne, are you angry?” Corinne raised her eyebrows. Rosie, in pretending to flatter her, was actually criticizing her, and it was all about this. If she expressed anger, it would seem as though she was unsophisticated and unreasonable.

Thinking of this, her lips quirked upward as she was about to respond when the man suddenly raised his arms and placed them on her shoulders, gently squeezing her shoulders with his big hands as if signaling her not to speak.

Jeremy looked at Rosie expressionlessly and said, “That’s right. My wife grew up in the countryside. Honesty, kindness, and informality are her virtues, but this can’t be a reason for others to bully her for being honest.” Corinne blinked at this and turned her head to look at this man.

Panicked, Rosie hastily explained, “N–No, wait, you misunderstood me, Jeremy!

How could I possibly bully her? She cured my foot, and I’m nothing but thankful to her!

“You should’ve seen her, Jeremy. Corinne is so skilled that she cured my foot with her knowledge of chiropractic, and I got a little emotional. A girl like Corinne who grew up in the countryside has a lot of skills. She’s not as squeamish as me, who doesn’t know anything. Of course, I suggested that she get rid of those rural values and get closer to the values of our circle out of good intentions so that she and you will have fewer conflicts in the future!” “Don’t trouble yourself,” Jeremy said these four words coldly without a trace of affection.

Then, the man looked at the petite girl beside him and slightly raised the corners of his lips. “My wife doesn’t need to make any changes; it is I who should accept her influence on me and change. my luxurious lifestyle. Isn’t that right, my beloved Missus Holden?” Corinne looked at Jeremy blankly.

Why was this guy talking to her in such a reproachful tone? She felt a little uncomfortable about it.

The smile on Rosie’s face completely froze, and it felt as though her eyes were full of thousands of sharp thorns. Whatever it was, she wanted to redirect it all to that lowlife Corinne!

Jeremy gently caressed Corinne’s round cheeks with his long fingers, and his tone softened slightly. “Didn’t I tell Tommy to take you home? Why are you still here to meddle in other people’s business?” Corinne came back to her senses in a daze and slightly lowered her gaze. “Oh.

I’ll get going now.” With that said, she turned around and removed herself from the man’s arms.

“Mister Tommy, we can go.” Tommy came back to his senses at this moment, and he subconsciously glanced at the young master’s face before he then responded to Corinne, “… Yes, ma’am.” Jeremy, who was treated indifferently by the little rascal, frowned slightly, narrowed his long eyes slightly, and his face gradually soured.

Suddenly, Corinne stopped, and the man’s eyes lit up slightly.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 249-What was this? Did this little rascal just recall bidding him farewell?

Corinne turned and smiled at Rosie. “Sorry to make you spend a grand, Miss Rosie, and I almost forgot to say goodbye to you, too.” Jeremy’s face sank.

Rosie was stunned for a moment, feeling that Corinne’s words had an ominous undertone to them, but she could only respond with a smile as all eyes were on them. “Oh, you’re too polite, Corinne!”

Corinne smiled, walked toward her, and returned Rosie’s ‘warm‘ hug before she whispered in her ear, “I just forgot to clarify with Miss Rosie that I never urged Jeremy to divest, and I didn’t even know that he invested in your family. You just provoked me, is all.

“If I ever wanted to seek revenge, I’ll do it myself, and I’ll never punish you by provoking your friendship with Jeremy. If I do it myself, it’ll be worse than what he would’ve done. I don’t cause trouble, but I’m not afraid of it either.

“If you dare to challenge me again, I’ll kill you.” Rosie felt a chill down her spine, and fear immediately rose in her heart.

When she regained her senses, she felt dissatisfied again. She ground her teeth secretly, and the smile on her face froze with anger, but she could not possibly retaliate with everyone around them.

At this moment, she understood that Corinne deliberately reserved the venue for three days next month, not at all to compensate everyone but simply to screw her!

Although she acted like 1800 dollars was just a small amount, it still hurt her to spend it like this.

She could have bought a quality designer bag, yet it all went for naught!

Corinne, this little b*tch, was too brazen!

So much for not having Jeremy to do it if she wanted to seek revenge…and she dare threaten to r if she dared to provoke her again?

Tch. She overestimated herself.

Rosie admitted that Corinne was skilled, but she was far from being able to deal with a noble lady like her!

She was the daughter of a famous family; money, connections, and power were all born with her. How could a country bumpkin like Corinne retaliate against her if she wanted to?

Their family might have been in a downturn these years, but a skinny camel was always bigger than a horse, and even a single hair of hers was a hundred times more precious than a village girl like Corinne!

It would not be long. As soon as Anya would return, Jeremy would change his mind and lose interest in Corinne!

At that moment, Corinne would lose Jeremy–her nominal husband–and his protection. By then, she would no longer be the prideful tiger she pretended to be, no doubt!

The reality would make her understand that she, Corinne, was nothing but sh*t!

After talking with Rosie, Corinne strolled past Jeremy and left the suite without looking back.

Jeremy’s expression was indescribable.

Did that little rascal really ignore him?!

Zeke leaned over and put his hand on Jeremy’s shoulder. He clicked his tongue mischievously.” Jeremy, your wife is ignoring you!” Jeremy’s eyebrows sank.

He slapped Zeke’s arm off in disgust and turned around to leave, but Sunny came over and stood in front of him, asking in a serious tone, “Jeremy, what did my sister tell you on the phone? Did she say when she’ll come back?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 250-Jeremy glanced at Sunny. He stared at Corinne, whose back faced them as she stood outside the suite door not too far away, and merely replied, “Nothing.” Sunny sighed despondently. “My sister always said that she’ll be back soon, but she hasn’t come back after so long! These days when my sister isn’t at home, no one looks after me and instead belittles me….especially my brother. When he sees me, he criticizes me and bullies me all day long!” “If you want to know when she’ll return, call her yourself and ask.” “Forget it. It’s better for Anya to rest and to recuperate abroad, and I don’t want to put pressure on her.” Jeremy closed his eyes, his gaze indifferent. “Since Rosie’s foot is fine, you should look after her. on your sister’s behalf and send her home safely.” Sunny nodded obediently. “Alright, I understand. Jeremy, where are you going?” Jeremy was walking away as he replied, “I have something to do at home, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Seeing that Jeremy was about to leave, Rosie chased after him a few steps and called out,” Jeremy! Wait, Jeremy!” She wanted to stop Jeremy, not wanting him to go with that country bumpkin Corinne. Alas, he did not stop nor look back as he walked away with steady steps.Rosie secretly clenched her fists as a flash of reluctance crossed her eyes.Sunny frowned sadly and muttered, “Since you’re okay now, why don’t you call my sister and tell her you’re alright, Rosie? Tell her not to worry about you abroad!” Rosie came back to her senses and nodded helplessly. “Oh, don’t worry about that, Sunny. I’ll call Anya to talk about it.” When Corinne came out of the hotel lobby dragging her suitcase, Tommy had already driven the car the hotel entrance.Annie, too, had packed her luggage and came out with Corinne.The two girls handed their suitcases to Tommy and had him put them in the trunk, and Annie then walked over and opened the backseat door to get in the car. To her surprise, someone else was already inside.The man was leaning lazily on the back of the leather chair with a laptop placed on his long legs wrapped in slacks. He was concentrating on reviewing emails.Annie was baffled. “Huh? Uncle Jeremy, Tommy told me that you had something to do and thus wouldn’t be leaving with us. Didn’t you also ask him to send Corinne and me home first?” Jeremy glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “It’s alright, I’ll be heading back with you.” The man’s deep gaze lightly swept over Annie, paused for a few seconds on Corinne behind her, and turned back to continue looking at the computer.“Oh!” Annie quickly took a step back and gestured toward Corinne so she would enter first, cordially inviting her ‘elder‘ to have her seat sensibly. “Here, Corinne, get in the car!” However, Corinne shook her head and replied, “You go first.” “No, you first, dear aunt. You can sit in the middle next to Uncle Jeremy!” “No. I want to sit by the window so that I can breathe when I get motion sickness.” “Oh! Oh, I get it. Alright, then!” Annie nodded, then got into the car understandingly, and left the seat by the window to Corinne.Jeremy’s eyes fell on the laptop screen that had dimmed gloomily.Motion sickness? She was fine when she came, and he did not see her having any motion sickness.This was clearly an excuse for her not wanting to sit next to him!Nonetheless, the car drove along the winding mountain road.Annie felt rather regretful sitting in the middle because the atmosphere in the car was…painfully awkward.Both her uncle and Corinne did not even exchange words. Jeremy seemed to be the more agitated party because for some reason, an ominous aura emanated from him… and no one even provoked him!Annie sighed inwardly. She should have gone around to Jeremy’s side and got in the car so that he could sit next to Corinne. Why did she have to sit in the middle?!Alas, it was too late for regrets.Corinne wore earphones the whole time, closed her eyes, and rested her mind, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the world.Throughout the two–hour drive, she and Jeremy did not say a word.
