Ch. 341..350

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 341-Sherlyn was incensed. “How can you still be so arrogant at this time, Corinne?

I’m not surprised that everyone on the Internet is calling you shameless. I think you deserve it!” “I deserve it, you say? Does that mean you deserve it too because you got dragged into this?”novelxo.com fast update “You…” Lilliana could not stand it anymore and leaned over to her daughter’s cell phone.

She then said to the camera, “When did you become so evil? You were the one who ruined Sherlyn’s career! Goran would’ve given her his full support, and she

was due to make our family proud once she becomes the next generation of Goran’s lead actress! You were the one who interfered with that, and that once– in–a–lifetime opportunity is now gone!

“You even spread rumors that she’s not Marvin’s daughter, which caused such a huge family conflict between us! We’re lucky that Marvin gave us another chance and did another DNA test to prove that Sherlyn is the daughter that Marvin and I had! All this just proves that you’re merely sowing discord!

“Now you’re scamming people and tarnishing the reputation of our family! What kind of heart do you have, Corinne?” Corinne curled her lips. “Scams? Isn’t that your specialty? Didn’t you get to where you are today using deceit and lies? You secured Goran’s backing for Sherlyn using the same means, right? The only reason you failed was because the truth had been revealed! How is this my fault? Besides, I, don’t have the talent for lying like you do. You can have that honor.” Lilliana became livid. “W–What did you just say?!” “Why is Corinne so sharp– tongued today?! She’s usually so polite to them in front of Marvin.‘ Sherlyn snatched the phone and flew into a rage. “How dare you say that about my mother, Corinne! Who do you think you are? I’m warning you! If you don’t apologize to her, I’ll-” Corinne’s temples hurt from Sherlyn’s annoying voice. She raised her hand to rub her ear and clicked the cross in the upper right corner to turn off the video call.

Sherlyn called again, but she ignored it.

She had no time to listen to the Carew’s‘ nagging because she needed to get down to business.

Corinne clicked into his group chat with Aaron and Xanten.

[Aaron, could you deal with those wreaths that were sent to the Carew’s and find a way to stop those netizens from sending weird stuff to them?] Aaron remained silent, but a message came instead from Xanten. [He went to investigate that Anna -related manner that you instructed earlier.] Corinne rubbed her temples. She had forgotten about that when she argued with the Carew’s.

[Send someone else to do it, Xanten.] [Already on it, boss. I’ll get someone to warn all the wreath shops and funeral businesses in the Chapter 341 city not to accept any orders or send any items to the Carew’s.] [Great.] Xanten went offline to do as told.

Corinne began her operation to rid the Internet of the slander. She opened a special software with a red,mark hidden in the encrypted folder of the computer, clicked on it, then entered a long string of passwords to access the deepest recesses of the Internet that ordinary people could not access

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 342-When Corinne was about to remove all the posts and microblogs online that illegally exposed her personal information, a user with the ID ‘Road To Success‘ appeared suddenly and excitedly messaged a few emoticons in quick succession.

[You’re online, master! I need your help with something!]novelxo.com fast update ‘Road To Success‘ was the username used by Sunny.

After a series of recent incidents, Corinne had a distaste for the Riveras and replied slightly, [ What’s the matter?]

[Road to Success: A friend of mine is being cyberbullied. Could you help me remove all the posts that slander her and expose her personal information?

Everything that’s written in those posts is fake! I’ve even mobilized my comrades in the AJ Alliance to hack and delete those posts, but some of them have been set up with advanced defense barriers, and our skills have not yet reached the level of being able to crack such defenses.] Corinne cocked her eyebrow in surprise. ‘Why would Sunny–the young man who protected his sister so much–want to help me behind his sister’s back?‘ Corinne wondered. ‘Can pigs fly now?” When she recalled how disappointed Sunny’s expression was when she was at the hospital that day, not to mention the way he pointed at her and cursed at her, she became curious as to his motives and tapped the keyboard to ask, [Isn’t she your sister’s love rival? I remember you cursing her a lot in the past.

When did she suddenly become your friend?] [Road To Success: She is my sister’s rival, but she isn’t a bad person, and she did me a big favor once too. My siblings misunderstood her recently and nearly had her sent to jail, so I’m overwhelmed with regret right now. I can’t watch her being slandered like that! I want to help her! So please, master! Could you lend a helping hand?] Although Sunny had the distinctive temper of a rich kid, he was better than his pious elder brother in that he could distinguish good from evil and knew how to reflect on his actions.

Corinne was going to help herself anyway, so she went along with the flow and typed a one–word reply, [Okay.] Road To Success was very ecstatic. [Awesome! Thank you, master!] Less than three seconds later, Road To Success reacted and said, [Wait a sec!

How did you know that the Corinne I wanted your help with is my sister’s rival? I don’t remember telling you who that friend is!] Corinne went straight to business and ignored him.

Road To Success sent another star–eyed emoji of admiration. [You truly live up to your name of being one of the world’s two top hackers! The omnipresent Jade Rabbit knows it all!] Corinne was speechless. ‘What kind of stupid logic is that? He’s like a blind follower!‘ She tapped the keyboard with great intensity, and after entering a series of complicated codes. she directly entered the backend of VeeTube. Sunny was unable to hack into the backend of such big companies due to their extensive defense systems, so he could only sneak in by following Jade Rabbit’s ID.

Corinne opened the search engine in the background and prepared to search for the relevant posts so they could be deleted with a single click. However, the search results returned empty, and all the posts had been deleted.

It was all quiet regarding topics relating to her. Those posts about her school, phone number, home address, and other personal information had been removed.

Corinne found it a little strange and typed to ‘Road To Success‘, [Seems to me the AJ Alliance deleted all the posts.] [Road To Success: That can’t be! There were barriers on a lot of the posts, and our people couldn’t delete them at all even after spending a long time on them!

Wait!!? What’s going on?

Those posts have all disappeared! They’ve been deleted!] Corinne frowned slightly. ‘If Sunny and his gang didn’t do it, then who did?‘

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 343-Few people could hack into the backend of such a highly–encrypted system, much less control it remotely like her. ‘Who’d do something so risky for me?‘ [Master! Look! I think that ID did it!] Road To Success discovered that someone was hacking the edited videos that were circulating online of Corinne staging an accident. novelxo.com fast updateWithin a few seconds, all the videos online were corrupted so they could not be played.Corinne narrowed her eyes and saw the ID of the hacker.Road To Success sent a brash message to that well–known hacker and asked, [May I ask who you are, mighty hero? Why do you want to help Corinne? Do you know her?] The hacker ignored Sunny and remained focused on what he was doing.Corinne came back to her senses, typed a message, and sent it. [Long time no see, Ghostlord.] A few seconds later, the other party replied to her, [Same to you.] That brief exchange of pleasantries came as such a shock to Sunny that he nearly fainted.Holy moly! Ghostlord? The Ghostlord?! The world’s number one hacker?!] Ghostlord ignored Sunny, while Corinne did not bother him anymore.Ghostlord was a mysterious person known to be the top hacker in the world. He or she had won 10 consecutive championships in the Global Hacking Contest for 10 consecutive years. When Corinne started to participate in the hacker competition, Ghostlord had already retired as a contestant, and the two of them never met as opponents in the hacking arena.However, her performance in the Global Hacking Contest was just as outstanding. Her abilities were comparable to the Ghostlord’s standards, and many people 10ded to compare the two of them.Two years ago, the two of them met once at a global hacker offline forum.Since there was an unspoken rule that prevented hackers from revealing their identities offline, everyone wore masks and wore costumes, so their appearance was protected. It was hard to even tell their gender since everyone used voice changers to speak.That was her first time meeting Ghostlord, and when they had a chat with each other, they realized that they shared many similar opinions and thus became friends. However, their friendship was based only on the mutual appreciation of each other’s skills, and they had no interest in each other’s offline identities.Ghostlord was rarely online, and Corinne was surprised that they would show up and help her.‘ Why would they help me when they don’t know that my real identity is Corinne?” At that moment, Road To Success was still jumping excitedly in the dialog box.[Ahhh! My idols! I met Jade Rabbit and Ghostlord online at the same time today, and I saw them meeting each other with my very eyes! I have witnessed history!] No one bothered about his self–contained joy.Corinne ignored Road To Success and asked Ghostlord, [Do you know that Corinne girl who’s being slandered by everyone?] Ghostlord replied, [Do you know her too?] The word ‘too‘ seemed to imply that they knew her, but Corinne could not be sure of that.Corinne was a little surprised, but she did not want to reveal her identity, so she replied, [I don’t know her, but someone hired me to delete those posts. How did you come to know her?] Ghostlord then replied, [You seem quite curious about her.]

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 344-Corinne was speechless. Even though they were separated by a screen, she could sense an inexplicably strong aggressiveness similar to that of a wild beast guarding its cubs. It could also be likened to a despot showing his possessiveness.novelxo.com fast update She may have rubbed Ghostlord the wrong way with her question. Hackers were very defensive, and it was normal for them to dislike revealing too much about their offline affairs.

Corinne was the one who crossed the line. When she realized that, she decided not to ask any further and changed the subject. [Not at all. I was just asking casually. Will you be going to this year’s Global Hacking Summit?] [Ghostlord: That depends.] Corinne then typed, [On what? Is something holding you back?] [Ghostlord: I’m married. My wife is very strict. It wouldn’t be convenient to travel far.] Corinne found it interesting because she did not expect Ghostlord to be such a family man!

She replied, [Congratulations! As it happens, I got married recently too.] At this time, Road To Success popped up again and sent a banner to interject, [Did the two of you big shots get married to each other offline? Whoa! This sounds just like the plot of a movie! You’re of different genders, right? Master, you’re a woman, right? I don’t think Ghostlord is a woman. Or are you both men?] Corinne was at a loss for words, and it seemed Ghostlord felt the same way, too.

Corinne then silently kicked the talkative Road To Success out of the deep web.

Then, she said sincerely to Ghostlord, [In any case, I hope to see you at this year’s hacker summit, and I look. forward to discussing the vulnerabilities of the NuevaNova system recently developed by EKX Enterprises and the techniques to bypass their system.] [Ghostlord: We can have a chat about it if the chance comes up.] Everything had been settled by Ghostlord, so Corinne quit the deep web since she no longer had any purpose there. All of a sudden, she remembered that there she still had to design the building for the Holdens‘ new headquarters.

She wanted to come up with a sketch within three days and send it to Jeremy, but three days had passed, and she was unable to start on it after being held up by everything that happened.

She decided to take advantage of the time she had then.

Corinne immediately opened the drawing software and sketched out the inspiration she had thought up before.

At that time, Jeremy exited the deep web in the study and massaged his brows wearily.

He picked up the phone, looked at the time, and decided to send a message to Corinne.

[Can I come in there for a while?] Corinne was concentrating on drawing the design when she heard her phone ring twice. She picked it up, looked at it, then frowned and replied, [Why do you want to come in for a while? Is something the matter?] The man replied, [Nothing. I just wanted to see you.] Corinne turned on the phone camera, smirked at it, and took a selfie for him.

[There! You can look at me as long as you like! Good night, and don’t bother replying! I’m going to sleep soon!] Jeremy was stunned, and he laughed in anger. ‘That d*mn girl is so frustrating yet so adorable at the same time.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 345-At the Riveras, Lucas sat leisurely on the chair in front of the dust–free built–in bookshelf and read a book by a foreign author while holding a cup of hot coffee in his other hand.

His secretary, Edmund, stood to one side and reported the situation dutifully.

“Sir, about those videos and posts online, it’s clear that Corinne has been wrongfully accused. Should we clarify to the public on her behalf?” Although Edmund could not understand why Corinne would disrespect his employer, that did not change the fact that Corinne helped the old man on Yonder River’s shore the othnovelxo.com fast updateer day. Had she not been

around, the old man would have been hurt by that ignorant female internet celebrity.

Lucas narrowed his handsome eyes and remembered the arrogant way in which Corinne ignored him. He took a slow sip of coffee and said softly, “She is Jeremy’s woman. We don’t need to intervene even if something happens.” When Edmund heard that, he realized that Lucas was right–the Holdens‘ scion could not have been incapable of protecting his own woman. ‘Guess I’m just worrying too much, then.

Lucas put down the coffee cup gracefully and said again, “The current priority is to find out how and where that video came from. Be sure to find out for me.” At the mention of that, Edmund said helplessly, “Sir, your subordinates have tried investigating this, but nothing could be found. We confiscated that celebrity’s cell phone right away, and she couldn’t have had the time to get a backup. Since then, the cell phone has been with you, and no! one else has touched it except for the time we handed it over to the police for them to collect evidence.” A look of alertness flashed across Lucas’s eyes. “Does that mean someone touched the cell phone that was in my possession while I wasn’t paying attention?” Edmund hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Sir… I do believe that it’s the only possibility.” Lucas closed the book in his hand. “I’ve always kept my cell phone in the drawer of this study. If anyone touches it, they have to have broken in here!” Edmund felt that it was unlikely for a family member to have done it. “Let me think… Only Miss Anya would dare to enter your study without your permission, and I’m sure it couldn’t have been her. Other people wouldn’t have dared to come in..

While Edmund was talking, Anya held a plate of pastries and walked in through the door with a smile on her face.

“Lucas! I bought some custard tarts from Fortuna Artisanal Bakers for you to try!” “How thoughtful.” It was rare for Lucas to see his younger sister smiling so heartily, and even though he was not interested in sweet pastries, he took a small bite of the tart to taste it.

Anya blinked expectantly. “How is it? Is it delicious?” He smiled gently and coaxed her, “Of course. You bought them, after all.” Anya smiled sweetly in return.

Chapter 445 The tart’s sweetness began to fill his mouth, and he suddenly stared at his innocent sister for a long time. He was pensively silent for two seconds, and he then opened his mouth to ask, “Anya, did you enter my study these past few days and do something with the cell phone in my drawer?” Anya was startled and asked innocently, “I didn’t. What’s wrong?” Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Did you know that there’s a smear campaign against Corinne on the Internet?” An imperceptible guilty conscience flashed across Anya’s face, and she nodded calmly. “Well, I did hear about it when I went to have a meal with my friends, but I haven’t read anything yet. Is something wrong?” Lucas frowned, and his gentle eyes became sullen. “Are you sure you have no clue what’s going on?” “I don’t!” Anya shook her head aggrievedly. She had a hurt expression, and her eyes were filled with tears. “Lucas… Do you doubt me?“

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 348-Sunny quickly took the phone out of the drawer. Then, he plugged one end of the data cable into the phone and the other into Lucas‘ computer before plugging in his flash drive. He did all of that very swiftly, but just when he was about to copy the video into his flash drive… “What are you doing?” asked Lucas coldly, appearing in the room.

Sunny immediately froze in place. He stiffly raised his head and said, “Lucas… I was…was just looking up some information on the computer…”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Why would you use my computer instead of yours?”novelxo.com fast update Sunny started to panic even more. “Umm…. I… I suddenly remembered I missed out on some information when I came in here, and I was worried that I’ll forget again if I didn’t look it up now, so I thought I could just use your computer…” While he spoke, Sunny had sneakily unplugged the data cable and put the female influencer’s phone into his pocket.

Lucas‘ expression remained unchanged. He easily saw through what Sunny did.

He took a step forward and stretched out a hand. “Hand it over.” Sunny pretended he did not know what Lucas was talking about. His eyes darted around as he said, “Hand… Hand what over?” “How dare you still lie when you’ve already been caught in the act? Is this where you put your mind into? Learning how to lie instead of studying?” At the mention of studying, Sunny became a little ashamed of himself. He knew he could not keep his lie from Lucas anymore, so he obediently handed over the phone to him.

“Lucas, I’m sorry. I admit I took the phone, but I just wanted to…” Lucas took the phone and held it up in front of Sunny’s face. “I don’t care what you were thinking, but you shouldn’t have posted that video online to slander someone who’s helped your grandfather in the past!” “What…?” Sunny was stunned. He did not understand the words coming out of Lucas‘ mouth.

Lucas scoffed. “Did you really think everything is fine just because you blurred out our grandfather’s face? I only testified against Corinne at the police station because I thought she had done something to hurt Anya. You know I won’t tolerate anyone who did anything to hurt her. The police had concluded that the case had nothing to do with Corinne, and you still did something like this to slander her? Aren’t you afraid of the others calling the Rivera family ungrateful?” “Lucas, what are you talking about? I wasn’t the one who posted that video online,” said Sunny, feeling very hard done by.

Lucas frowned when he saw how firm Sunny was. He could not help but think he had gotten the wrong person… “Lucas. Sunny. What’s going on? I was on my way down to get some water, but I heard the two of you arguing,” said Anya, who suddenly appeared in the study dressed in her pajamas. She looked Choqué 448 at the two of them with worried eyes.

772 Sunny was happy to see her because he knew she would always take his side.

He immediately ran up to her and said, “Anya, Lucas was so mean to me. He was accusing me of doing something I didn’t do even when I told him I wasn’t the one who posted that video online to slander Corinne.” Anya frowned and gently patted Sunny on the shoulder to calm him down. Then, she turned to face Lucas and said, “Lucas, you shouldn’t accuse Sunny when you don’t have solid proof. What if you were wrong…” At that moment, Edmund walked over and reported, “Mister Lucas, we found the editing software and the original file of the edited video, as well as the login history of the female influencer’s VeeTube account, on Mister Sunny’s computer.” ‘What?!‘ It was then Sunny realized that the reason Lucas called him over was to lure him away first so that Edmund could check his computer. ‘But how is it possible that my computer has those things? No. This couldn’t be happening.

What’s going on?‘

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 349-Lucas‘ expression darkened. He slammed the female influencer’s phone loudly on the table and glared vehemently at Sunny.

“Instead of studying like I told you to do, you spent all your time on that hacker league of yours. Did you really think no one will ever find out about what you did just because you think you have a few tricks up your sleeves? At least clean up all your traces if you want to pull shady stunts like this,” mocked Lucas.

Sunny was starting to tear up. He forced back his tears and said, “Lucas, it’s true that I’ve joined a hacker league, but I swear to god, I have nothing to do with that video. I have no reasons to hurt her.”

“How dare you still deny it when we’ve caught you red–handed?”novelxo.com fast update “I’m not denying it. I really didn’t do it.” Lucas was getting fed up. “Edmund, lock him up in his room, and make sure he doesn’t get anything to eat until he has admitted his crime.” Edmund hesitated for a second, but he did not dare to defy Lucas‘ order. “Yes, Mister Lucas.” Sunny wiped away his tears and said stubbornly, “Fine! If you won’t let me eat, then I won’t eat! You’re a fool, Lucas. You not only wrongly accused Corinne, but you’re doing the same thing to me now, too. One day, you’ll get your karma!” Edmund was worried that Sunny would make Lucas angrier than he already was, so he quickly dragged him out of the room.

Seeing this, Anya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a victorious smile appeared faintly on her lips. ‘My plan has worked. Lucas will never suspect me now.” While Sunny was on his way to Lucas‘ study and before Edmund brought someone to check Sunny’s computer, Anya had snuck into Sunny’s room to tamper with his computer. Yes, she uploaded all the things Edmund said were found on Sunny’s computer.

She had no choice but to do that. There was no way she was going to let Lucas find out that she was the one who edited the video and posted it online. She was willing to sacrifice Sunny to save herself.

‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t completely screw over Corinne this time… thought Anya. Then, pulling back from her thoughts, she put on a worried face and said, “Lucas, I’m sure Sunny…” Lucas waved his hand to stop her from going any further. “He’s not a little kid anymore. He needs to learn that every action has consequences. I’ll handle this matter, so don’t you worry about it. You should go rest now.” “Alright, then. Don’t stay up too late, Lucas,” said Anya with a sigh. Then, she walked out of the study.

“Mister Lucas, Mister Jeremy has many talented people from all walks of life working under him.

Even though Mister Sunny had changed his IP address, Mister Jeremy’s people would still be able to find out the real IP address very soon. What if, by then… he thought that you were the one who posted the video online?” Edmund asked anxiously as soon as he came back from Sunny’s room.

Lucas raised his eyebrow. “So what if he thinks that?” he asked fearlessly.

“I just think that it’s best if we avoid any conflict with the Holden family. The Rivera family and the Holden family already have bad blood from the previous generation, and this has affected Anya not getting married no less. If the conflict escalates, it’ll only make Anya’s life more miserable. The matter with the video is indeed Mister Sunny’s fault.” Lucas knew that Anya still had feelings for Jeremy. In fact, he had mentally prepared himself for her to always have feelings for Jeremy. Due to this reason, he had no choice but to de–escalate whatever conflict there was between the two families.

He rubbed his temples, and after thinking about it for a while, he ordered, “Tomorrow morning, bring Sunny over to Jeremy’s place to apologize. Explain to him what happened and then give the original video to him for disposal. If he’s still not satisfied, tell him I’ll be willing to meet up with him to go over the matter whenever he wants.” “Yes, Mister Lucas,” said Edmund with a nod.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 350-Late at night, Anya secretly snuck in some food for Sunny.The two bodyguards standing guard at Sunny’s door hesitated to let her in but in the end thought they might as well. They knew Lucas had always given Anya whatever her heart desired.novelxo.com fast update Therefore, even if Lucas was there himself, he would have let her in too.Besides, they did not want to risk incurring Lucas‘ wrath. What if Anya went to tell on them?Therefore, the safest option for them to take was to simply let her in.When Anya went in, Sunny was lying face down on the bed and crying his heart out.“Sunny? Sunny, get up. You’ll suffocate like that.” Sunny was startled to hear Anya’s voice. He immediately sat up straight and wiped away the tears from his eyes. Then, he turned around to face her and said tearfully, “Anya, what are you doing here? How come you’re not asleep?” “I can’t sleep ‘cause I’m so worried about you, so I thought why not drop in for a visit.” Anya pulled some tissues out from the box and walked over to wipe away Sunny’s tears. “Just look at you. You shouldn’t cry like this since you’re a big boy now.” Sunny could not help himself either. He felt so wronged that the tears just fell out of their own accord. In fact, what Anya said to him made him even angrier.“Anya, I was falsely accused. I didn’t do what Lucas said I did. The reason I had the female influencer’s phone in my hand today was because I wanted to clear up Corinne’s name!” Anya was a little taken aback. Her hand that was wiping away Sunny’s tears froze midair while a sinister glint flashed across her face.‘Sunny risked himself to help Corinne, too? I don’t get it. What makes her so special that everyone. wants to help her out? Not only did Lucas spend his time investigating the source of the leak, but even the usually cowardly Sunny dared to steal the phone from Lucas‘ drawer?! They must’ve been taken in by her innocent act…‘ thought Anya.Sunny frowned when he saw Anya spacing out with a weird expression on her face. “Anya, what are you thinking about? Don’t tell me you don’t believe me, too?” Anya snapped out of her trance and immediately looked at him gently.“Nonsense! Of course I believe you, but you should know how Lucas is. He only believes what he sees for himself and will not be swayed just because you’re his little brother. He’ll never go easy on you since you don’t have proof that you weren’t the one who posted the video online. This is what you should do tomorrow; find Jeremy and apologize to him. Tell him you didn’t know what got into you. This way, it’ll make both Lucas and Jeremy less angry at you.” Sunny was shocked. He pushed away Anya’s hand and said, “Anya, are you serious? You want me to apologize for something I didn’t do? No way am I doing that! Why should I when I didn’t do anything wrong?!” Anya sighed and looked disappointed. “Sunny, I’m not going to force you… It’s just that, you know my biggest wish is to marry Jeremy and spend the rest of my life with him. But because of what happened between our two families in the past, I’m not able to do that at the moment. Now the matter with the video will only worsen what little left of goodwill we have with the Holden family. I might just as well give up the hope of ever marrying Jeremy! Sunny, can you please just do this for me? Pretty please?” Anya’s eyes reddened and tears threatened to roll down her cheeks. Anyone with a heart would have felt their heartstrings tugged at the sight of her big, sad puppy eyes.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 346-Lucas‘ face softened when he saw Anya’s eyes reddening. He reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and said, “There, there. Don’t cry, Anya. I was just asking…” Anya sniffled sadly. “But your tone says otherwise. You sounded so mean…” Lucas sighed with resignation. Then, he continued to patiently explain to her, “Anya, that phone has never left the drawer in my study, but now, there’s an edited version of the video posted online to slander Corinne, resulting in a public uproar.novelxo.com fast update

“I was just going through a standard procedure of making sure no one in our family is the culprit before letting Edmund question the other staff in the household.

“Do you now understand? And you should know that, as your brother, I’ll always trust you a hundred percent, okay?” Anya wiped away her tears and nodded like a little girl. “Okay. If this is the case, it’s totally understandable that you’ll suspect me, since I’m the only one in this house who has total access to your study.” Lucas patted her head. He regretted being so harsh on Anya and knew he should have trusted her more. After all, she had always been a sensible little sister.

“But it really wasn’t me. You know I won’t ever do something like that. It’s just not in me. Besides, I wasn’t the only one who went into your study. Recently, didn’t you ask Sunny to finish his homework in your study before he was allowed to go out to play?

“Felix–the servant in charge of taking care of Sunny–and all the other servants who brought in refreshments for Sunny, they had been into your study too. You should interrogate them and see which one of them would do something so despicable as to slander Corinne on the Internet!” “Sunny?” The expression on Lucas‘ face immediately became serious.

Anya pretended to be startled. Then, she said anxiously, “Lucas, do you think Sunny could’ve done it in a moment of anger? You know, because he wanted to make Corinne pay for what she did to Rosie?” Lucas got a headache just thinking about that idiot brother of his. He scoffed and said, “I’m going to disown him if he did that. What Rosie did was illegal. Not to mention, she also put your safety at risk, so she got what she deserved.

Sunny had no right to blame it on Corinne.” Anya realized Lucas was really angry, so she tried to defuse the situation. “It might not be Sunny, then. I’m just worried…” Apart from Anya and 1, the only person in this household who knows Corinne is that idiotic brother of mine. I don’t think any of the servants know her, so why would they go to all the trouble to do something like this to someone they don’t know?’ thought Lucas.

After he calmed himself, he turned to Anya and gently said, “Anya, you must be tired after going out with your friends. You weren’t feeling well this afternoon too, so you should head to bed. I still have some work I need to finish.” “Okay, I’ll leave you to your work then. But remember to take it easy. I’m sure the investigation will turn up with something soon. Goodnight, Lucas.” After that, Anya went out of the study with a smile on her face, but her face immediately darkened the moment she stepped outside of the door.

‘Sh*t! The plan is backfiring on me,‘ thought Anya, gritting her teeth.

She never expected Lucas–who had always been indifferent to outsiders–would waste his time. on Corinne. What was worse was that she would be done for if Lucas found out she was the one who posted the video online. Therefore, she had no choice but to use Sunny as a diversion to buy herself more time.

Lucas‘ face returned to its usual seriousness after Anya left his study.

“Edmund, get that idiot brother of mine in here. I need to ask him some questions,” he ordered. “Yes, Mister Lucas,” said Edmund.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 347-While Edmund was on his way to get him, Sunny was spending his time feeling distressed about being kicked out of the deep web by his master, Jade Rabbit.

He wanted to access the deep web again but could not, no matter how he tried, because Jade Rabbit had locked up his ID for 48 hours.novelxo.com fast update ‘Why?‘ He banged the keyboard in frustration. He had no choice but to go to VeeTube and other web pages to check the latest development of ‘Corinne the scammer incident‘.

It’s a good thing the cyberbullying post and the videos are all gone. This way, at least, the matter won’t spread further, making it worse,‘ thought Lucas. ‘Next, I have to find a way to help Corinne clear up her name. Otherwise, she won’t be able to move freely in public places. The angry mob. will definitely chase after her if she’s recognized… Should I ask Lucas for help?‘ However, Sunny knew that Lucas was famed for his cold–heartedness and that he would not waste his time on anyone other than himself or other members of the Rivera family. Therefore, he certainly would not lift a finger to help Corinne with her predicament.

Sunny sighed. He leaned back in his chair and rested the back of his head on his interlocked fingers in annoyance, thinking… ‘Oh, that’s right! Lucas has the female influencer’s phone. I can clear Corinne’s name as long as I can get the unedited video and post it online! But…how can I get it from him?‘ “Mister Sunny, Mister Lucas has asked for you to see him in his study,” said Edmund from outside the door.

The sudden voice startled Sunny so much that he and the chair fell to the ground, causing him to yelp out in pain.

“Mister Sunny, what happened? Are you okay?” Edmund asked when he heard the commotion in the room.

Sunny climbed up from the floor and angrily said, “I’m fine! I’ve already finished my homework for the day, so what could Lucas possibly want from me?” “I’m not sure either, but you’ll know once you go see him.” “Alright, alright. I’ll be there right away.” Sunny felt very uneasy. Nothing good ever came out of meeting up with Lucas.

He would either get a lecture or be forced to study.

Five minutes later, Sunny arrived at Lucas‘ study with a frown on his face. “I heard you were looking for me, Lucas.” He knocked on the door but no one answered, so he pushed open the door and discovered no one was inside.

“Lucas? Are you here?” Chapter 347 I Sunny snuck into the study, and after confirming Lucas was not there, a bright idea popped up in his mind. He would make a copy of the video on the female influencer’s phone so that he could post it online once he was back in his room.

He remembered seeing Lucas putting the female influencer’s phone in the right– hand drawer of his study table when he was forced to do his homework in the past few days.

After he had made up his mind, he looked around one last time to make sure no one was in the room. Then, he went to open the drawer, and sure enough, the phone was in there.
