Ch. 311..320

Chapter 311 An awkward expression appeared on Anya’s face and she withdrew her hand resentfully while saying somewhat regretfully, “I’m sorry, Corinne. I didn’t know that this was the truth… You suffered so much these few days, but Rosie made a mistake for my sake in a moment of confusion. Is it okay if you let this one slide, forgive her, and give her another chance

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 311-Rosie stood up in astonishment and shook her head violently. It wasn’t me!

You’re talking nonsense! Make such statements again, and I’ll sue you for defamation!” Chris did not argue with her. He turned around and said confidently to the police officer, “It’s her. She asked me to do all this. She followed Miss Corinne from the Lunar Century Manor to the shore of Yonder River, and she chose me to do the job because she saw Corinne talking to me when I was distributing flyers!

“She picked up the cell phone that Miss Corinne dropped and used her cell phone to transfer the money to me in advance. She then deleted the transfer

record and asked someone else to send the phone to the police station and act as if they came across the cell phone by chance.

“Each step was carefully calculated by her to make Miss Corinne the prime suspect!” After hearing that, Anya got up from Lucas’s arms in shock and looked at her best friend in disbelief. “Rosie! How could you do something like that? I told you a long time ago not to cause trouble with Corinne for my sake. Whatever that’s between myself and Jeremy has nothing to do with Corinne, and I don’t like it if you do that sort of thing!” Rosie shook her head in a panic. “But Anya, it wasn’t me! I swear it wasn’t me!” Anya had an extremely disappointed expression after seeing how stubborn Rosie was. She did not want to say another word and took a deep breath before turning around and wiping her tears in her brother’s arms.

Rosie was at a loss after losing her best friend’s trust. She glared at Corinne angrily and pointed at her, saying, “You did this! You told this gangster to frame me just to absolve yourself from being the suspect! You’re evil, Corinne!” Corinne cocked her eyebrow and had a look of disgust in her eyes. “All I did was tell my lawyer to find the mother and son and save them. I didn’t interfere with anything else, and I- just like everyone else here–only knew who truly instigated him when he mentioned your name. Didn’t think it’d be you again, Miss Rosie.” Rosie became frantic. “Don’t try and pretend to be innocent, Corinne! You won’t succeed!” Red–eyed and distraught, she turned around and said to Lucas, “You can’t believe a word she says, Lucas! She deliberately designed this to clear her name and frame me!” Lucas glanced at Rosie, then at Corinne, and there was a pensive yet complicated expression in his eyes.

The two police officers walked toward Rosie and took out some handcuffs.

“Miss Rosie, please stay here and cooperate with the investigation!” Rosie backed away in panic and could not accept that she was going to be handcuffed. “Anya… Help me…” Anya could not bear to be angry with her best friend when the latter begged for help. She walked up to Corinne to try and hold her hand, but Corinne politely avoided her.

An awkward expression appeared on Anya’s face and she withdrew her hand resentfully while saying somewhat regretfully, “I’m sorry, Corinne. I didn’t know that this was the truth… You suffered so much these few days, but Rosie made a mistake for my sake in a moment of confusion. Is it okay if you let this one slide, forgive her, and give her another chance?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 312-Corinne smiled. “Oh? So you insist that they pursue this matter until the end if I was the suspect, but now you’re telling me not to pursue it because your best friend is now the suspect? This is double standards of the highest order!” Anya was a little embarrassed. “I… I never thought of pursuing the matter. It was my brother who couldn’t accept that someone was out to hurt me, so he…” Corinne’s hands were ironically still in handcuffs, and she leaned lazily on the chair as she said, “Sorry, Miss Anya, but I don’t want to listen to you talk anymore. Let’s leave it to the police to get to the bottom of the matter.”

Anya lowered her head, but she was still determined to plead on Rosie’s behalf.

“I’m sorry, Corinne. It was our fault for blaming you, but Rosie is my best friend. I hope you find it in your heart to be more magnanimous…” Corinne ignored Anya outright and glanced instead at the calm -looking Lucas just nearby. “You love your sister dearly, don’t you, Mister Lucas? I don’t think you’d be so magnanimous toward the real mastermind behind the scenes, right?” Anya frowned, turned around to look at Lucas, and said. hurriedly, “Lucas, you know that it wasn’t Rosie’s intention to harm me. She did it for my good, but the way she did it wasn’t right…” Lucas had no sympathy for Rosie, but since Rosie was his sister’s best friend, he had some concerns and therefore fell into deep contemplation.

Corinne could see Lucas’s hesitation, so she snorted softly and remarked, “Mister Lucas, I have high hopes that a man like you will have some principles when it comes to doing things. You wouldn’t want to make a fool of yourself because you practice double standards when it comes to your precious sister.” Lucas regained his composure after that pointed remark. He looked at Corinne and smiled slightly to say, “Don’t worry, Miss Corinne. If the police find out that Chris and his family are telling the truth, I’ll treat her the same as I treated you.” Corinne smiled. “Good to hear that.” Rosie’s emotions collapsed on the spot after hearing Lucas’s statement, “It wasn’t me, Lucas! Corinne framed me! Please… You have to trust me…” The police officers stepped forward and pressed the uncooperative Rosie down on the table. They then handcuffed her forcibly and escorted her to the interrogation room. At the same time, Chris, his wife, and their son were taken to a separate interrogation room, and a serious investigation was conducted to verify the statements made.

Half an hour later, two police officers came in to uncuff Corinne. They then explained embarrassingly to her, “After our investigation, we’ve confirmed that Chris‘ statements were all true, and you weren’t involved in this case at all. We sincerely apologize for our oversight in handling the case and subjecting you to such harsh treatment when you were hospitalized with your severe allergies…” After regaining her freedom, Corinne moved her uncomfortable wrists and replied calmly, “Don’t worry about Corinne could see Lucas’s hesitation, so she snorted softly and remarked, “Mister Lucas, I have high hopes that a man like you will have some principles when it comes to doing things. You wouldn’t want to make a fool of yourself because you practice double standards when it comes to your precious sister.” Lucas regained his composure after that pointed remark. He looked at Corinne and smiled slightly to say, “Don’t worry, Miss Corinne. If the police find out that Chris and his family are telling the truth, I’ll treat her the same as I treated you.” Corinne smiled. “Good to hear that.” Rosie’s emotions collapsed on the spot after hearing Lucas’s statement, “It wasn’t me, Lucas! Corinne framed me! Please… You have to trust me… The police officers stepped forward and pressed the uncooperative Rosie down on the table. They then handcuffed her forcibly and escorted her to the interrogation room. At the same time, Chris, his wife, and their son were taken to a separate interrogation room, and a serious investigation was conducted to verify the statements made.

Half an hour later, two police officers came in to uncuff Corinne. They then explained embarrassingly to her, “After our investigation, we’ve confirmed that Chris‘ statements were all true, and you weren’t involved in this case at all. We sincerely apologize for our oversight in handling the case and subjecting you to such harsh treatment when you were hospitalized with your severe allergies…” After regaining her freedom, Corinne moved her uncomfortable wrists and replied calmly, “Don’t worry about it. She framed me, and she factored the police into the equation as well. We’re all victims here.” The two police officers looked at Corinne in surprise, then glanced at each other in disbelief. They thought Corinne would end up complaining and accusing them of negligence, but what they received was instead a show of tolerance and understanding. Mistakes happened from time to time, but most people who were in Corinne’s situation would hardly show such kindness to them. All that, yet the little girl in front of them had an open–mindedness far beyond her age, and it was sufficient to touch their hearts and move them.

One of the police officers said in shame, “We’ve put you through a lot these couple of days. Should we arrange for a car to bring you home?” Corinne waved her hand and said, “Don’t bother. I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want to sit in a police car anymore!”11 Despite her refusal, the two police officers smiled graciously. We understand.

We won’t send you off then. Be careful on your way home!” They had gained a good impression of Corinne since it was rare for them to meet people who understood their work as well as she did.

“I will, officer. Don’t worry about me. You should get back to your investigation!” “Okay.” Lucas walked toward Corinne with a half–smile after the police officers left, intending to shake hands with Corinne to make peace after the truth was revealed. Unfortunately for him, Corinne did not even stop for him and simply walked past him without looking at him. He narrowed his eyes and felt embarrassed. It was his first time being ignored and looked down on

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 313-When Corinne was gone, Anya came over anxiously and asked, “What’ll happen to Rosie now?” Lucas came back to his senses and said solemnly to his sister, She’s an adult now. She can think for herself. It’s only just for her to bear the consequences of her actions.” “But Rosie’s my best friend! We can’t just leave her alone…” “Enough. I don’t want to hear a word of it. You should go home with Sunny.”

Inside the police station’s restroom, Corinne came out after washing her hands, and Gabriel–who had been waiting for her in the corridor–stepped forward and respectfully handed her a tissue. After that, he handed his cell phone to her and said, “Mister Aaron called. He wants to talk to you.” Corinne took the tissue and wiped her hands before answering the call.

Aaron’s voice came from the other end. “How’s everything, boss? You okay there?” “Everything’s fine. You did a good job of finding the witnesses in time, so you’ll get a reward once I’m back.” Aaron answered awkwardly, “It wasn’t me, boss.” Corinne’s expression froze. “It wasn’t you? Are you saying they escaped by themselves?” “It’s not that, either! I arrived too late, and they were already rescued when I got to their location.” “Who rescued them?” “If my guess is right, it was Jeremy’s men. His subordinate, the one named Tommy, sent some people to investigate Chris’s family in the past few days. He found everything one step before us.” Corinne was startled, and she remained quiet for a long time.

Aaron then added, “If I may, boss, Mister Jeremy is actually—” Before he could finish his sentence, however, Corinne hung up the phone annoyedly.

Gabriel could see that Corinne was not too pleased, so he asked cautiously, “Would you like to come with me later?” After Corinne tossed the phone back to him, she waved her hand and said, “Thanks, but no thanks. You should head back to your law firm now that things on my end are done.” “Understood.” The two of them left the police station one after the other.

Gabriel bowed to Corinne to say goodbye before turning around and leaving in his car. Corinne narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Gabriel’s car drive away. As soon as she looked away, she was stunned to see Jeremy waiting at the entrance to the police station… Her mood was a little complicated when she saw him again, and she immediately froze in place. The man wore a suit and leather shoes, and he was leaning lazily against the front of an expensive white sports car. A cigarette was held at the tips of his long fingers and he was smoking nonchalantly as if waiting for someone.

When he spotted Corinne standing there like an idiot, he raised his hand and made a come–hither movement. “Come here.” Corinne hesitated for a moment before walking over. “Mister.” Jeremy let out a puff of smoke, narrowed his eyes at her, and glanced in the direction that Gabriel’s car left. “You have a lot of connections, Corinne.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 314-Corinne turned around and understood what Jeremy meant when she saw that he was looking in the direction that Gabriel’s car left.

“Oh, he used to be my senior in my alma mater’s law department. He’s a very friendly guy, and it’s all thanks to him that I got out of this mess.” “Friendly?” Jeremy stubbed the half–smoked cigarette and stared at her with his bottomless eyes. “Your senior is well- known throughout the entire city as the most difficult lawyer to hire, yet he was willing to help his former university junior. He must have an exceedingly good relationship with you.” He was clearly questioning her.

Corinne did not want to explain to him because she did not want to reveal her identity, and she could not think of any reasonable explanation at that moment.

If she said too much, she might accidentally let something slip, so she chose to remain silent.

Then, Annie popped out of nowhere with a small bucket. She dipped a big sprig of sage leaves in the bucket of water and flung the water at Corinne.

“Congratulations on being exonerated!” Before Corinne could react, her face was splashed with water, and she coughed twice after choking on it.

Jeremy frowned after seeing Annie’s antics, and he pulled her into his arms to wrap her in a coat. He then stared at Annie coldly. “What are you doing?” began giggling again.

As unhappy as Jeremy was with her, he still allowed her to do as she pleased.

Annie was dumbfounded, and she looked at Corinne in surprise. “What are you laughing at?” “You, of course! You’re cute!” Corinne broke free from his arms while she laughed. She then walked up to Annie, patted her shoulders with both hands and said to her, “Thanks, Annie! I do need to get rid of my bad luck. Things haven’t been going well recently, especially since you provoked your uncle!” Annie had a smug expression immediately after hearing what Corinne said.

“Hear that, Uncle? She thinks you’re the unlucky one!” Jeremy was speechless.

The two girls then got together and whispered with each other while laughing from time to time.

Jeremy ended up being completely ignored, and he had a cold expression as he stared at the heartless little Corinne. He adjusted the clothes that she had deliberately wrinkled up, massaged his brows helplessly, and moved a few steps to the side to light another cigarette.

“Are you here to pick Corinne up?” Anya came over and asked in a tender voice.

She had pestered her brother to ask about the situation with Rosie and was thus held up until then. As soon as she came out of the police station, she immediately left her brother and ran over to Jeremy when she saw Jeremy standing at the gate.

The smile on Annie’s face disappeared instantly when she saw Anya’s presence. She snorted and then muttered angrily, “The unluckiest person is here again!” Corinne looked at Anya indifferently, looked at the gentle expression on Jeremy’s face, and glanced away mindlessly. She happened to see Lucas standing helplessly beside his luxury car not far away, and he was waiting for his sister to go back home.

Anya’s fate was pretty good considering how she had an elder brother who loved her unconditionally and spoiled her since she was a child. There was nothing for her to fear, and she only had to hide behind him if something bad happened.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 316-Both Anya and Sunny had taken the car driven by the family’s personal driver to the police station, but moments later, Sunny had no choice but to go back in the same car after Lucas asked him to go back home to study. Thus, Anya ended up going home in Lucas‘ car.

After getting into Lucas‘ car, Anya immediately saw the amulet hanging off the rearview mirror. The amulet was consecrated by a spiritual master from the Empyrean Temple which was located on top of the mountain of its namesake, Mount Empyrean.

There was a small photo of less than an inch of a little girl and her mother inlaid in the middle of the amulet. The little girl had the same cherry–red mole in between her eyebrows as Anya.

Anya knew that Lucas never believed in things related to spirituality, but even so, he was still willing to ask for a safe blessing for the mother–and–daughter duo. How important the mother and daughter were to him was self–evident.

However, the people in the photo were not of Anya and her mother but the previous madam and young miss of the Rivera family who had been missing for many years. Meaning to say, the ex–wife of Anya’s father, and the daughter who was born to them, Luna.

“Lucas, why do you still have a photo of Luna hanging in your car?” asked Anya in a sour tone.

Lucas had just started the car and his hands were on the steering wheel. He looked up at the amulet, and his cold eyes softened for a second. “So that I’ll never forget them.” Anya’s doe eyes flickered with disappointment. “No fair. Why don’t you have a photo of me and Sunny, then?” “You shouldn’t compare yourself with her,” Lucas said calmly.

“Why shouldn’t I? Is it because deep down in your heart, Sunny and I’ll never be as important as Luna to you?” Anya asked with a frown.

Lucas detected the hurt in Anya’s voice. He slowed down the car, raised his arm, and gently patted her on the head.

“Silly girl. Aren’t I always by your side? I can see you anytime, so there’s no need to hang a photo of you in my car. Meanwhile, Luna has been gone since she was five years old, and we have no idea how she’s been doing all these years. As a brother, I should’ve kept her safe, but the only thing I can do for her is to pray that she’s safe and happy.” Anya frowned and anxiously advised, “The fact that she hasn’t been by your side all these years is all the more reason for you to let her go. Besides, I don’t think Luna would’ve wanted to see you living under the shadow of their disappearance. There’s also a high chance they’re not of this world anymore.” Lucas‘ eyes darkened, and he put his hand back from the steering wheel. He never liked to hear such unlucky words from others because he never wanted to believe that Luna and her mother were no longer alive. He would rather believe that they had changed their names and were living happily in another corner of the world.

He would have asked the person who said all those unlucky words to get out of the car if it was not for the fact that it was Anya who said them.

Anya did not notice Lucas was angry. She stared at the amulet and said coquettishly, “Lucas, I want you to hang a photo of me and Sunny in the car as well! That way, you’ll always think of us when you’re driving. Okay?” Lucas snorted. “Forget it. Why would I want to be reminded of Sunny? That kid only scored three points in his final math exam.” Anya was speechless and felt a little embarrassed for that idiotic little brother of hers. “Lucas, Sunny is actually quite smart. It’s just that his heart isn’t in studying.” “Does he think he can get away with studying just because his heart isn’t in it?

The family has hired so many tutors for him, and he only has a score of three points to show for all that? Why, he should be ashamed to call himself a Rivera!

I know I definitely would.” “Fine. We’ll leave him out of the photo and just put mine, okay?” Lucas sighed helplessly. To date, he had never not given in to Anya. “Okay, I will hang a photo of you in the car tomorrow so that I’ll think of you every time I’m driving. Happy?” Anya nodded and beamed at him. “Yeah, I’m happy now that we all got the same treatment from you.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 317-Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired. He had always given in to Anya, and sometimes, he worried he was spoiling her too much.

Anya turned her head to look out of the window, and even though she got what she wanted, there was still a disdainful expression on her face. She did not really care whether Lucas had her photo hanging in his car or whether he would think of her while driving; all she wanted was to win against Luna.

Ever since Anya was young, everyone around her always told her that she was lucky to be born into the Rivera family. She was treated like a little princess and was loved by thousands.

However, no one had any idea that no matter how much she was loved, she would never be able to win against that stupid stepsister of hers who had been missing for more than a decade.

To commemorate Luna, her father spent huge sums of money to build Lunar Century Manor in the city center where every inch of the land was worth more than a bar of gold.

Then there was Lucas, who would always put the missing Luna before Anya.

When she was young and in order to be favored by Lucas, Anya asked someone to tattoo an identical cherry- red mole in between her eyebrows so that she would look like Luna.

Frankly speaking, she loathed the whole thing but had no choice because Lucas did not like her at first on account of him and her not coming from the same mother. She thought that by imitating Luna, Lucas would like her more, and she was right! Look at how Lucas spoiled her.

In fact, one could say that it was not Lucas who was living under the shadow of Luna’s disappearance but herself! That was why, out of the whole world, she hated Luna the most. Anya wished for nothing more than for Luna to be wiped out from everyone’s memories.

What was even more unacceptable to Anya was that she was not the most special person to Jeremy. To say that she was unhappy would be an overstatement. In fact, she would not be happy until she was the most important and most special person in everyone’s lives.

“Lucas, I feel scared…” Anya suddenly said in a trembling voice.

Lucas thought she was not feeling well. He stopped the car by the side of the road and gently asked, “What’s wrong? There’s nothing to be scared of as long as I’m by your side.” Anya took her brother’s hand and said anxiously, “I’m a little afraid of Corinne. I always feel that she has a lot of hostility toward me. Coupled with the fact that Rosie did such a stupid thing… Well, I’m scared that Corinne would take her revenge on me.” “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you. never let anyone hurt you.” I’ll Lucas could not help but feel annoyed whenever he thought of how Corinne rudely ignored him, and he reminded himself to not underestimate her. He already lost a sister, and he would be d*mned if he was going to lose another.

At that moment, a sports car was coming from the opposite direction.

A multitude of feelings were bubbling inside Corinne when she turned her head to look at Jeremy, whose eyes were focused on the road. She pursed her lips and said, “Thank you, Mister.” Jeremy glanced at her and asked, “What are you thanking me for?” “I’m thanking you for helping me find the new witness in time today, or the truth of this matter wouldn’t be revealed so soon.” “How did you know that I was the one who found the new witness?” “Umm…” The question stumped Corinne.

Jeremy never told her that he was the one who found the new witness. As far as he knew, Corinne was just a country bumpkin. Plus, there was no reliable channel to obtain undisclosed information such as this.

‘It’s not like I can tell him it was Aaron who reported it to me,‘ thought Corinne

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 318-“I was just guessing. You’ve been so nice to me recently and not to mention I’m your wife in name, so I knew for sure that you were going to help me out. Except for you, there’s no one else in the world who’d help me find a new witness like that,” explained Corinne in a flattering way.

Jeremy glanced coldly at her. “Did you really know for sure that I was going to help you out for sure?” “Of course! I’ve always known that,” Corinne answered with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Jeremy scoffed softly. “So you didn’t curse me in your heart when I didn’t go back to the hospital to spend time with you last night?” Corinne did not know what to say for she did, in fact, cursed him.

She heard from Annie yesterday that Jeremy did not come back at all after sending Anya off from the hospital. She guessed that the two old lovers must have gotten carried away by their conversations and did not think too much about it. However, she became upset when she thought that Jeremy was just like everyone else who believed that she was the one who hurt Anya.

Therefore, she did curse him in her heart, but not for the reason he thought.

Jeremy took her silence to mean her admission to the accusation. He smirked provocatively and spun the steering wheel with his hand to turn the car around the corner.

“Last night, I went to investigate something, and when I came back, you were already asleep. Then, I needed to attend to some urgent matter in the morning, so I left before you woke up,” explained Jeremy.

Corinne was stunned and thought, ‘He came back last night?‘ “You don’t believe me?” Jeremy asked with a raise of his brow.

Corinne snapped out of her stupor and shook her head. “No, I believe you. You have no reason to lie to me. Anyways, I just want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me find the new witness.” Jeremy glanced at her and saw the forced polite smile on her face. “Tommy was the one who was in charge of finding the witness since I had my hands full with another matter.” “What matter can be so important that it requires you to personally attend to it?” Corinne asked with a frown.

“I thought you’re good at guessing, so why don’t you take a guess?” Corinne’s eyebrows knitted. How could she possibly guess when she had nothing to go on?

“Forget it. I’m not going to guess. It probably has something. to do with Miss Anya since you’re willing to personally investigate the matter. I don’t need to know the details since it has nothing to do with me.” As soon as she said that, Jeremy put on the emergency brake, causing the car to skid to the pavement, and the tires to screech loudly. Corinne instinctively and fearfully clung to her seat belt to avoid being flung around inside the car.

‘What the hell is going on?‘ she thought once the car came to a halt. She looked sideways at Jeremy with a frown on her head. What’s the matter with him this time?‘ Jeremy’s cold, handsome face was as black as thunder. He narrowed his eyes at her and said, “Nothing to do with you?

Don’t tell me you seriously think that everything I do has nothing to do with you?” “Huh? Are you saying that it has something to do with me?” asked Corinne curiously.

Jeremy slowly unbuckled his seat belt. His eyes were cold. ” Corinne Carew, do you not listen to all the things I’ve said to you?” Corinne became even more puzzled. “No, I do listen. It’s just that sometimes, I don’t really understand why you do some of the things you do. For example, this is one of those times.” “You can always ask if you don’t understand!” said Jeremy angrily.

Corinne still did not understand where his sudden anger was coming from, and she in turn became angry too.

“I have no right to ask since I’m not your real wife. It’s better if “What did you say?” Corinne froze for a moment. Then, she frowned and said, ‘ Anya…”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 319-Jeremy suddenly put one hand on the dashboard and the other on the back of Corinne’s chair. Then, he leaned over and kissed her without warning.

He kissed her softly at first, so soft that it actually surprised Corinne, and then it was like the floodgate was opened, and his tongue began to frantically probe the inside of her mouth.

Corinne was shocked, to say the least. She quickly pushed him away and only had time to take a big gulp of air before Jeremy kissed her hard again.

She pushed him away. “Mister, you—mmph!”

He kissed her even more fiercely this time.

“No, Mister. Get…off…me…” He held her head firmly in place to prevent her from resisting. He was going to savor this moment as much as he could.

The aggressive and invasive kiss was more like a punishment to Corinne. She was starting to feel dizzy from the lack of oxygen; one second more and she would have suffocated there and then.

Therefore, it was a good thing Jeremy finally let her go before the one second was up.

“You *sshole!” Corinne took a deep breath, wiped her mouth, and glared at Jeremy.

“Hey, between the two of us, you’re the bigger *sshole here.” Jeremy grabbed her chin roughly to admire her red and swollen lips.

Corinne failed to push his hand away. “How am I the bigger sshole?” she asked angrily.*

“Need you ask?” Jeremy rubbed the tip of her chin with his thumb. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes that did not match his usually mature temperament. “How can you simply give away your husband to another woman? Even a saint isn’t as kind as that! So let me ask you, don’t you think you’re the bigger sshole when you were the one who cast me aside after toying with my feelings?” ‘Cast him aside after toying with his feelings? What a load of bullsht!‘ thought Corinne. She was annoyed at being disrespected and molested by him, though she could kind of see where he was coming from. Jeremy was a man after all, and he might have developed feelings for her after getting a taste of her.

However, that was only a guess of hers, and his motives might be wholly different in reality.

“Mister, you shouldn’t think that you can do whatever you want to me just because we’ve slept together once. Besides, that one time was an unfortunate accident. It doesn’t mean that anything’s going to happen between us somewhere down. the line. If you ever do what you did to me again, I’ll…” “You’ll what?” Jeremy looked down at her little angry face.

“Sue you for sexual harassment!” Jeremy laughed as if she just told him the funniest joke in the world. Then, his eyes suddenly sharpened. “Now you listen to me, Corinne Carew, it’s not my plan to sleep with you once.” Corinne became even angrier when she heard that. If she had not been afraid that the rest of his life would be ruined by the after–effects, she would not have slept with him at all.

“Well, the same goes for me! Hmph, if anything else, you should be happy that I was even willing to sleep with you.” Jeremy quietly leaned over the side of her face and whispered, “What I mean is, it’s my plan to sleep with you more than once.” Corinne was stunned and disgusted at the same time. ‘What did he say? What a total perv!‘ “I want to do dirty things to you the whole night long and until the two of us can’t move an inch anymore. What do you say?” whispered Jeremy into her ear again.

‘Until we can’t move an inch anymore…? Just how many times does he want to sleep with me?‘ thought Corinne. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she turned her face away from him in disgust.

“Quit being a sc*mbag, Mister.” Corinne would never believe the irresponsible words of a man who still had feelings, not to mention who had just not long ago made a grand romantic confession to his first love.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 320-“Sc*mbag? Tell me, just how am I one?” Jeremy asked with a frown.

Corinne was just about to answer his question when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, causing her to lose her train of thought. She fished out the phone from her pocket and saw that the place where there should be a name was only a string of numbers.

However, she had a near photographic memory when it came to remembering numbers and could tell with a glance that it was Anya who was calling.

“Here, Mister, you take the call. It’s from your precious Anya.” She handed the phone to him and looked out of the window to give him some privacy.

Jeremy accepted the phone without looking at it and immediately rejected the call. “Corinne Carew, turn around and look at me,” he said sternly.

Corinne turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes filled with contempt. “And then what?” Jeremy looked deeply into her eyes and started to explain, The reason I asked you to go to Lunar Century Manor that day was actually…” The phone rang again. The ringtone kept playing and playing, which irritated Jeremy to no end.

Corinne raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you pick up the call first? After all, she might be in an emergency.” After thinking it over, Jeremy accepted the call and put it on speaker.

“Jeremy, are you home yet?” Anya’s soft and gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Not yet. Is something the matter?” “Lucas‘ car broke down on the Yonder Bridge. We’re stuck here at the moment, so can you come over and pick us up?” said Anya helplessly.

“What about Lucas‘ subordinates? Can’t he ask them to pick the two of you up?” Jeremy asked emotionlessly.

“Lucas‘ phone ran out of battery, and he doesn’t remember any of his subordinates‘ phone numbers. I only have your number saved in my phone, so there’s no one else I can call… I’m also feeling a little sick right now…” replied Anya in a trembling voice.

“Okay, I’ll send someone over to pick you guys up,” said Jeremy.

Anya was a little hurt to hear that. “Jeremy, didn’t you just leave the hospital not long ago? You shouldn’t be too far from the Yonder Bridge. Can’t you come here and pick us up yourself? Or is it because…Corinne doesn’t want you to come here?” Corinne rolled her eyes and thought, ‘Why does she always have to push all the blame on me? This has nothing to do with me.
