Ch. 361..370

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 361-Everything originated from Jeremy’s change of attitude toward her.

Corinne waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. I’ll get lunch on my own.” Bowen hurriedly asked, “Where are you going, ma’am? Shall I ask the driver to send you there?”novelxo.com fast update Corinne walked toward the gate and said, “No thanks. I was thinking of going out for a walk anyway.” Bowen still did not feel at ease. “Umm… Did you bring your cell phone with you?

Is it fully charged? That’ll make it much easier for Mister Jeremy to look for you.

It’ll be terrible if something happens to you and he can’t contact you.” He remembered when Jeremy came back from a business trip and was unable to reach Corinne after she did not return the entire night. Jeremy searched frantically for her throughout the night and barely stopped short of turning the entire city upside down.

Just thinking of this left Bowen feeling horrified.

Corinne changed her shoes at the entrance while saying, “Don’t worry. I won’t lose it! You should get back to what you were doing, Bowen. I’ll be leaving now.” Bowen had no choice but to obey and bowed to see her off. “Take care, ma’am.

Be careful out there.” “I will,” Corinne replied and walked out leisurely.

Sunny had heard Bowen talking to Corinne, so he turned his head and looked over to wait until he saw Corinne exiting the house. As soon as he spotted her, he exited his mobile game and got up to chase after her.

After leaving the gate of Holden’s‘ estate, Sunny caught up with her and asked, “Hey, Corinne. Where are you heading?” Corinne ignored him and hummed her favorite tune as she strolled to the nearest bus stop.

Sunny was not too happy when he got ignored, so he stepped in front of her and frowningly said, “I asked you a question! Where are you going? Are you dumb or deaf?” After being forced to stop, Corinne raised her eyebrows lazily and asked, “What are you, my mom? Do I have to tell you where I’m going?” Faced with Corinne’s disgusted eyes, Sunny remembered that he had come to ask for forgiveness and felt a little guilty again. “Well, no, I’m not… Didn’t you say you wanted to deal with me? You’ve been dragging this for such a long time, so I came to ask how long you’re going to give me the cold shoulder.” Corinne felt that it was a little pointless to say anything to him. “How do you expect me to deal with you when you didn’t do it?” Sunny was taken aback and looked at her in surprise. “You… You believe I wasn’t the culprit? Why’d you let me stay here, then?” Corinne rolled her eyes. “Would you have the chance to enjoy your games here at the Holdens‘ if I didn’t tell you to stay?” Sunni’s mind went blank for a moment. Had he gone home with his sister, his brother’s subordinates would watch him like a hawk while he studied. He could barely have any chance to catch his breath!

By the time Sunny realized that, Corinne had walked past him. Sunny did not stop her anymore and meekly followed her as he asked puzzledly, “Why do you believe in me? Didn’t I bully you a few times in the past? I thought you wouldn’t see me in a good light…” Corinne chuckled and said, “I don’t see you in a good light, but in my opinion, you don’t have enough IQ to make all those articles online in such a short period.” Sunni’s handsome, youthful face turned sour, and he became angry. “How dare you look down on me?!” In response, Corinne turned around and glanced at him, “I’m curious, though.

Why would a proud young man like you admit to something you didn’t do?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 362-Sunny scratched his head. “Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens will deepen if no one comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy will be affected…” His voice unconsciously became softer as he spoke. At that moment, he realized how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front of Corinne.

Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. “Will you die for your kind sister if she tells you to?” Sunny nodded without thinking. “Of course!”novelxo.com fast update

Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. “What an awesome younger brother you are!” Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there was some deep yet negative implication in her praise.

Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and asked again, “What do you mean by that, Corinne? My sister treats me the best, and I can’t just leave her to die if she’s in danger. My life isn’t as important as hers!” Corinne merely smiled and said nothing.

Anya was so cunning that she brainwashed and manipulated her younger brother. If Anya was as good a person as Sunny believed her to be, she would not have allowed her younger brother to come forth, admit something that he never did, and take responsibility as well as the blame for those actions even though he was a minor.

Moreover, if said matters had nothing to do with the Riveras, there was no need for one of them to come forward and confess to it.

The only explanation as to why Sunny would have to take the blame was that Anya had a guilty conscience, knew who did it, and was afraid that the foundations she laid would collapse if her deviousness was discovered. As a result, she tricked her younger brother Sunny into taking all the blame so the matter would end there and no one would suspect her again.

In reality, the true culprit behind the scenes was none other than Anya.

That being said, Anya was extremely talented in manipulating people, and she could get those around her to die for her, be her willing sacrifice, and even do evil deeds for her. On the other hand, Anya remained safe in the shadows and spurred people to have the impression that she was weak, innocent, and pitiful.

Such abilities were far beyond the realm of an ordinary hypocrite.

Corinne could conclude that Anya’s duplicitous hypocrisy was twofold through the confirmation that Anya deceived Sunny to take the blame for her and the results of Aaron’s investigation.

Aaron found out that there were a total of 1203 people named Anna Fuller in the city, yet none of them returned to the country on the day that a certain mysterious individual publicly confessed their love on the LED advertisement board at Yonder River’s shore. In addition, Aaron also found something unusual with the order for the LED advertisement on Century Bank Tower.

212 The advertisement was paid for in cash, which was not standard practice because people were generally unwilling to bring so much cash for such a big advertisement. According to the staff there, a woman wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a mask came to place the advertisement that day. She was very straightforward as she negotiated the time and the content before paying everything in cash.

On that same night, there happened to be a record of Anya consuming a cup of coffee in the shopping mall just opposite the Century Bank Tower.

Aaron hacked into the surveillance system of that cafe and retrieved all the surveillance from that day. Sure enough, he saw Anya there. He then took out the section of the video where Anya was present and sent it to Corinne. The footage showed Anya sitting alone by the window of the cafe as she watched the public confession of the LED display on the Century Bank Tower. That unsettling smile she had was a far cry from her harmless demeanor in front of everyone.

It was obvious, then, that the confession was Anya’s doing to confuse the public and create the illusion that Jeremy was deeply in love with her. She came prepared when she went back to the country, and a lot of things happened even though she had only been back for a few days. Corinne decided that it was best to be more careful around Anya in the future.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 363-A bus happened to arrive as soon as Corinne arrived at the bus stop. She regained her senses, jogged a couple of steps, and hopped on the bus before finding a seat by the window.

Sunny chased after her and boarded the bus too, but since it was his first time taking a bus, he did not know that he had to swipe a card before getting on. In his embarrassmenovelxo.com fast updatent, he had to go back and scan the QR code to make payment after the bus driver reminded him in a loud voice.

After paying the fare, Sunny sat next to Corinne with a sullen face.

Corinne ignored him and had a pleasant mood as she looked at the scenery outside the window.

Sunny frowned, stared at Corinne for a while, and asked in confusion, “Hey, Corinne. You’re Jeremy’s wife now. Why do you still take the bus?” Corinne leaned lazily on the chair with a relaxed expression on her face.

“What’s wrong with taking the bus? Isn’t the service good?” Sunny glanced around inside the bus and saw that it was generally clean and spacious. There were not many passengers on the bus during noon, so it was not too crowded.

“Well… It’s not that bad, but you can beat the comfort and convenience of a private car. You just need to get in the car when you step out of the home, and you’ll be sent to wherever you want.. The car waits for you around the clock, and you don’t have to wait for the bus at the station!” Corinne slowly turned her head to look at Sunny. “On the contrary, I don’t like having a car following me all the time and waiting for me. Taking the bus is already super convenient for me. The world you live in is different from mine, and we don’t have anything in common either. Why would you follow me into the bus? You should get off at the next stop and go home to play.” Sunny frowned and said stubbornly, “I’m going to follow you, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” Corinne did not care at all and said, “Suit yourself.” Sunny did not intend to keep quiet, and he thought for a while before saying, “Hey, Corinne, since you said that and we’re not from the same world, you should be aware that you and Jeremy live in different worlds too.” Corinne nodded frankly. “I’m aware of that.” Sunny raised his chin and said arrogantly, “Then why don’t you give up earlier?

Jeremy doesn’t suit you at all!” Corinne raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Do you mean to say that he suits your sister?” Sunny had a determined expression. “That’s how it was supposed to be from the very beginning! Anya and Jeremy are a good match in terms of status, talent, good looks, and worldviews! They lived in similar environments when they were young, and the experiences they had in their life are the same too.

They’re a match made in heaven! Even if our families have some conflicts, I believe they’ll soon be resolved one day! You and Jeremy have completely different concepts of spending, and I don’t think you have anything in common, right? He’s not suited for you, and you’re 2/2 not suited for him!” Corinne thought of Jeremy’s exceptionally handsome face and raised her chin while saying leisurely, “No, he’s different from you people. He doesn’t look down on me because I take the bus, and he doesn’t think I’m inferior because I’m from the countryside. Although his issue is that he’s pampered and lives in his ivory tower, he knows that it’s his problem and doesn’t attribute it to me. He isn’t on the same level as superficial snobs like you.” Sunny was a little skeptical of his worldviews and felt that the Jeremy Corinne spoke of was not the same cold–hearted and untouchable man he knew.

“Humph! I’m not a snob! I’m just stating the facts!” Corinne smiled. “Whatever floats your boat.” Sunny stared at her unhappily and asked, “So… Do you like Jeremy now, Corinne?” Corinne was dumbfounded for a moment, and she felt a burning in her heart.

“Did I say that?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 364-Sunny crossed his arms and snorted confidently, “It’s useless even if you do like him. The two of you won’t last long anyway! Just take my advice and quit while you’re ahead, or it’ll feel much worse if you get dumped in the future…” The bus pulled over at the station as he spoke.

Corinne got up, walked past Sunny, and got out of the bus without glancing at him.novelxo.com fast update Sunny snapped back to his senses and chased unhappily after her. “Hey!

Corinne! Did you listen to what I just said? Corinne!”

Corinne turned a deaf ear to Sunni’s nagging and walked into a café.

Meanwhile, Sunny followed her in and continued to yap non–stop. After a while, Corinne came out with an iced café latte and walked relatedly into the shopping mall in front of her.

Sunny followed her while droning on about his unfinished topic. He was determined to persuade Corinne to quit and return Jeremy to his sister. Corinne, on the other hand, ignored Sunny entirely and sipped on her café latte while going shopping. She visited stores from the first floor all the way to the top floor and bought some bits and bobs from many different stores.

Meanwhile, Sunny followed her the entire time and was so tired that he could not even straighten his back. “Hey…wait for me! Girls are always so weak in gym class, but they can somehow go shopping without getting tired! I’m already exhausted!” Corinne’s face was neither red nor out of breath, and she glanced at him faintly as she said, You’re already tired? Then don’t follow me around and go do what you’re supposed to be doing right now.” Sunny still did not give up. “Is it wrong for me to follow you? It isn’t safe for a girl like you to wander around outside by yourself. Aren’t you going to appreciate that I’m protecting you for free?

” Corinne looked at him like he was a clown and sized him up from head to toe.

“You? Protect me?” Sunny could feel her looking down on him, so he raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves to show off his biceps. “Is something wrong with me? I’m strong, you know!” Corinne pursed her lips, smiled, and kept quiet.

Sunny felt that even more underestimated by Corinne and became increasingly frustrated. Just as he was about to show her how manly he was, several girls called out his name in unison.

“Sunny!” Their yell left Sunny stunned for a moment, and he turned to look in the direction of the voice. There, he saw three girls staring at him at the door of an escape room. They seemed both surprised and happy to see him there.

The girl in the middle with long hair and a long skirt walked over first. She had an infatuated expression as she said, “It’s you! We thought we mistook someone else for you!” Sunny looked at the three girls with disinterest. “Ah, it’s you girls.” Though they were his classmates, he was not all that familiar with them. To make things worse, he did not even remember their names, and he guessed that they were his classmates because they looked familiar.

After the girl greeted Sunny, she looked at Corinne who was sipping the iced café latte not far from him. A wary expression appeared in her eyes as she asked, “Sunny, is she…your girlfriend?” Corinne was speechless, while Sunny had a convoluted expression as he turned his head to look. at Corinne beside him. Though he had planned to chase after Corinne once he turned 18 so that Corinne would fall hopelessly in love with him and make room for Anya to be with Jeremy, he had not put that plan into action yet and answered honestly, “… No!” After the long–haired girl received that answer, she relaxed slightly and looked at Corinne with a less defensive gaze. She glanced back and forth between Corinne’s face and Sunni’s, as if to make a comparison, and finally said with a smile, “Is she your elder sister or younger sister? She looks a bit like you!” Sunny immediately frowned in disgust and said angrily, “What are you, half– blind? How do I even remotely look like her?” The girl felt awkward after being scolded as ‘half–blind‘, and her eyes began to turn red.

Sunny, meanwhile, did not seem to think that he did anything wrong.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 365-Corinne felt that Sunny’s handsomeness paled far in comparison to his stupidity.

Even if he did not like the girl, it was unbecoming of him to talk to her like that.

When Corinne saw that the long–haired girl was about to cry, she could not help but feel sympathetic and decided to step forward and comfort her. “Ignore him.

Being polite isn’t one of his quality traits. He has a problem with me, not you.”novelxo.com fast update The long–haired girl was stunned, and she suppressed her tears while looking at Corinne in awe and curiosity. “Hi, nice to meet you. Are you Sunny’s sister?”

Corinne could tell at first glance that the girl had a crush on Sunny. If she said no to the girl’s question, it would only cause the girl to further misunderstand her relationship with Sunny.

“… Sort of.” After Corinne comforted her, the long–haired girl was no longer as awkward as before and smiled at Corinne. “My name is Charlene Schumer, and I’m Sunny’s classmate. I’m sorry I wasn’t aware of your identity earlier. You seem to be about the same age as us, so I wasn’t sure if you were his elder sister or younger sister.” Corinne paid it no mind and shook her head. “No worries. Are you girls here to shop, too?” “Yeah.” Charlene nodded. “The three of us wanted to give the escape room a try after we were done shopping, but when we went in, we got too scared to play and ran out.” Corinne nudged Sunny with her elbow. “It’s time for you to show your manliness!

Why don’t you form a group with your classmates and protect them?” Sunny frowned in disgust. He hated being with girls as the girls at school were annoying and acted like nymphos.

“No! It’s pointless!” Sunny retorted.

“Is it because you’re a scaredy–cat?” came the reply. The person who said that was neither Corinne nor the three girls, but the voice of a boy from the far end.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Sunny immediately frowned in animosity after seeing who it was.

The girls were surprised to see who it was, and they nearly said in unison, “It’s Yash and his group!” Corinne recognized them as the guys who beat up Sunny in the Lunar Century Manor previously.

Yash approached with a few of his buddies and put on airs as he looked at Sunny with disdain.” Sunny, I didn’t expect you to be such a loser! As if being a terrible student isn’t bad enough, you’re such a scaredy–cat that you don’t even dare to enter the escape room!” Sunny stared angrily at the other party. “Who said I’m afraid to play? I’m just not interested in boring offline games!” Yash snorted. “How would I know if you’re not interested or a scaredy cat?” His friends then burst into contemptuous laughter.

Being the young and proud man that he was, Sunny could not bear to be provoked. He gritted his teeth with a sullen face and said angrily, “Let’s play, then! I’m not scared!” When Charlene heard that Sunny was willing to play, she was immediately overjoyed and politely invited Corinne as well. “Will you join us, too? We can be in a group with Sunny!” Corinne was about to decline when Yash suddenly stared at Corinne and asked, “And who is she?” He recognized her as the woman who stood up for Sunny at Lunar Century Manor some time ago, so it was natural for him to be a little unhappy when he saw her!

Charlene said, “This is Sunni’s sister!” When Yash heard that, he immediately dismissed the remark. “I’ve met your sister Anya before. How is this woman your sister? Did you knock this one up or something?” Yash’s disrespectful words made Sunny angry, and he blurted out, “Anya is my second sister, and she’s my eldest sister, Luna! Got a problem with that?” His statement left Corinne speechless.

Yash was stunned, and he looked at Corinne again. “I remember hearing that you had a big sister named Luna who was lost since young. When did your family find her? Why haven’t I heard about it?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 366-Sunny raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and shot back, “Were you expecting the Riveras to tell outsiders about what happens in the family? Who do you think you are?” Yash’stared unhappily at Sunny. “Fine. I’ll treat her as your sister, then! The last time I lost to you a mobile game, you were lucky to have matched with a full– level boss! Let’s see if you guys are lucky enough to complete the escape room challenge this time. I can’t wait to see the two of you running off like scaredy cats!”

Sunny had a disdainful look on his face. “We’ll see about that!”novelxo.com fast update “Bring it on!” Yash sneered and swaggered off smugly with his four friends into the escape room premises.

Sunny turned to Corinne and was pumped up as he said, “Come on! Let’s go in there and show them what we’ve got!” Corinne raised her eyebrows. “I don’t remember agreeing to go with you.” An unhappy look appeared on Sunny’s face as he grabbed her and said, “Why are you backing out at this juncture? Come with me!” Corinne did not know what to say. ‘Me? Backing out? There’s no issue with backing out because I was never part of your group! What does this have to do with me when I was never interested in participating in the first place?’ Upon seeing that everyone went in, Charlene and her two friends walked into the escape room club with Sunny.

Inside the premises, Yash and his group insisted on choosing ‘Hospital of Horrors‘, the most terrifying theme. They then casually asked Sunny if he had any comments.

Sunny was not afraid of it and went along with their suggestion. “Whatever! I’m fine with anything!” The girls who were headed by Charlene were very much disinclined to the terrifying ‘Hospital of Horror‘ theme and got closer to Sunny in fear. “S–S– Sunny, can the three of us be in the same group as you?” “If that’s what you want, then sure.” Sunny had no objection. There were five people on Yash’s side, so the three girls would complete his group and make it five people too.

Yash laughed mockingly and said, “Hey! Are you sure you girls are okay with being in a group with Sunny? He might pee his pants before you and sacrifice you to the ghosts inside!” “Don’t be so condescending, Yash,” scoffed Sunny. Those things don’t scare me.” Yash glanced disdainfully at Sunny and ignored him while walking directly to the receptionist. He explained the theme of their choice, then leaned to the receptionist and whispered something to her ear as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Before the game started, they all prepared to enter the ‘Hospital of Horrors‘ when Charlene realized that her group was short by one person. She asked curiously. “Wait… Where’s your sister, Sunny?” Sunny was startled, and he finally noticed Corinne’s absence when he looked all around him to find her. ‘Damn it! That sly woman ran off!

Upon seeing that, Yash asked in a suggestive tone. “Oh? She ran off before we went in! Can you still do it without your big sister protecting you, Sunny? If you can’t, it’s not too late to admit that you’re a coward!” Sunny gritted his teeth and replied, “You should mind your own business! Don’t end up having to call your mom because you peed your pants!” Yash’s face darkened, and he retorted, “You’re going to end up eating your words later!” Sunny ignored Yash and looked around once more to confirm whether Corinne had returned. When he did not see her figure anywhere, he could not help but feel a little discouraged.

Unfortunately, he was unable to back down from the challenge.

After calming down, Sunny said to Charlene and the three girls, “Don’t be nervous, girls, Just remember that those ghosts inside are just people wearing a disguise. There’s no need to be scared. Make sure you follow me closely when we go in later.” Charlene’s fear decreased considerably when she saw her crush speaking in such a masculine. manner. She nodded with a look of admiration and said, “Okay, Sunny. Let’s do our best!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 369-However, the three girls breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Sunny’s sister was playing a prank on us all along! It was just a false alarm…” Sunny stepped forward to shield Corinne, worried that Yash might get angry and hurt her. He then said, “Tch! You said that I’d pee my pants because I’ll get scared, but you’re the one who ended up yelling for your mommy!” Yash gritted his teeth and stood up. “How dare the two of you join hands to trick me!” Sunny had an air of confidence as he said, “Weren’t you the one who wanted to trick us in the first place? You paid double the ticket price to bribe the actors into

targeting us and letting your group have an easy time! Don’t even bother playing if you can’t accept that you might lose!” “It doesn’t count! Even though I paid them double, none of them went through with it and did as I instructed!” Yash felt a little embarrassed and started to become unreasonable as he pointed fingers at several of the actors headed by Corinne, Sunny frowned and said in disgust, I didn’t think you’d be as shameless as you are despicable!” “You…” Yash gritted his teeth and did not know how to retort.

Corinne had gone to the bathroom within the premises before the game started, but as soon as she came out, she happened to overhear Yash bribing the receptionist and the actors with double the ticket price. It was a despicable move, so she paid the receptionist three times the ticket price and requested them to let her enter the venue as one of their actresses.

People who could be bought with money were usually less reliable because they would happily forgo their principles as long as someone else offered them a higher price.

While Sunny looked for clues to clear the area, he received a text message from Corinne using Jeremy’s number. [Remember to play dead later.] Though he did not understand what that meant in the beginning, he immediately understood when the nurse’s stabs did not hurt at all. Once that realization sank in, he immediately cooperated with her and put on an act.

After coming out of the escape room, Yash caught up with Sunny and stopped him. “Yonovelxo.com fast updateu were pretty good in the escape room earlier!

If you have what it takes, why don’t you have another round with me?” Sunny snorted and was not interested at all. “Why would I want to play with a cheat like you? Out of my way! Don’t stand in front of me like a statue!” Yash was, alas, persistent. “There’s a swimming pool nearby. The water’s clear, and we’re comparing our physical strength, so there’s no question of me cheating anymore. Care to take me up on that challenge?” “I’m not interested!” “You can’t swim, can you?” Chapter 369 2/2 Sunny was in a good mood after relieving his irritation at Yash in the escape room. He was not going to fall for Yash’s goading a second time.

“Whether or not I can swim is none of your damn business!” Sunny shot back as he led Corinne away and left Yash behind.

Like before, Yash did not give up. “Hey, stop right there, Sunny!” Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked back and forth between Yash, who was chasing after them, and Sunny, who dragged her away. She seemed to sense something and asked with intrigue, “Why is he so insistent on challenging you to all sorts of games? Is he trying to get your attention on purpose because he likes you?” Her question nearly made Sunny faint. “Quit it! He likes that girl, but she likes hanging around me all the time. That’s the reason he always tried to give me a hard time!” Corinne turned around again and saw Yash looking at Charlene while calling out to Sunny. Charlene was following them too, but her gaze was fixated entirely on Sunny.

‘Tsk, tsk, tsk! Now isn’t this your typical love triangle?‘ As it turned out, Yash simply wanted to show off how good he was in front of Charlene and embarrass his rival Sunny while he was at it. Alas, none of his efforts bore fruit, which was why he probably insisted on challenging Sunny again to try and restore his dignity in front of Charlene.

“Stop, Sunny Rivera! I’m talking to you!” Since Yash was unable to stop Sunny, he switched his target and shouted at Corinne, “What’s your name again… Oh yes, it’s Luna! Stop right there, Luna!” At this moment on the shopping mall escalator, the mall’s manager was nodding and bowing as he accompanied Lucas–the president of the Rivera Group– down.

“Rest assured, Mister Lucas. The event held by the Rivera Group in our mall will be a sure success. We’ll do our best to make sure everything is to your satisfaction!” Lucas nodded slightly. “Well, I sure hope so.” “Luna Rivera! I said stop! Do you hear me? Hey…” ‘Luna Rivera…‘ Lucas’s cold eyes looked toward the direction of the sound.

Edmund heard that name too, and he looked over in shock to see Sunny being chased by Yash’s group.

“Sir, it’s Sunny and his classmates.” Lucas’s expression soured as he got off the escalator and walked over quickly.

As soon as Sunny saw Lucas’s sudden appearance, he panicked and became nervous. “Lucas? Why are you here?” Lucas ignored him and glanced coldly across Sunny’s friends, especially the three girls. “Which one of you is Luna Rivera?

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 370-Sunny was not the only one who was rattled by Lucas‘ sudden appearance.

Even the group of students following behind him felt rattled and nervous.

It was the girls‘ first time meeting Sunny’s elder brother, and they did not expect him to be so much more handsome than Sunny. They seemed awestruck by his presence, more so because henovelxo.com fast update had the charm of a mature man.

Yash and his guy friends were all quiet. Though they were not afraid to confront Sunny, they did not dare to cause trouble in front of his elder brother Lucas. The Riveras were one of the strongest and most influential families in the city,

perhaps even the whole country. None of their families could ever compare to the Riveras‘ status.

Lucas’s handsome eyes became even more sullen when his question remained unanswered. He frowned and asked a second time, “Which one of you is Luna Rivera?” No one came forth even after a while.

Sunny was so guilt–ridden and terrified right that he sweated profusely. He knew better than anyone that his missing sister occupied a sacred place in his brother’s heart. It was difficult to imagine the consequences of his brother knowing that someone else had used that name.

Yash glanced at Sunny, noticed his guilty conscience, and surmised that he must have lied earlier. Knowing that Sunny’s greatest fear was his brother, Yash deliberately called out to Corinne next to him, “Hey! Luna! Your brother is talking to you! Why are you so quiet?” Since Charlene liked Sunny, she wanted to get on his family’s good side and felt that something was a little off about what was happening. She thus stepped forward and said politely, “Umm, sir. Isn’t Luna your little sister? Why do you sound like you don’t know her? Isn’t Luna right next to Sunny?” “Right next to him?” Lucas cocked an eyebrow and turned to look at Corinne, who stood beside Sunny.

His pupils contracted, and the woman that he completely excluded from the equation earlier did not pay any attention to him at all. A sharp flash of coldness appeared in his warm eyebrows, and the embers of hope that were ignited in his eyes were extinguished at that instant. With all traces of warmth removed, Lucas moved his body slightly and took one step toward Corinne. “You called yourself Luna?” Corinne had an insipid expression, and she calmly opened her mouth to explain the situation. “I-” Lucas did not have the patience to listen to her explanation. He interrupted her directly and said sarcastically, “I’m not interested or concerned about how you managed to associate yourself with the Holdens, but I won’t allow you to associate yourself with the Riveras and use our name to elevate yourself. If you pretend to be my sister and use her name again, I’ll make you pay the price for your actions if I ever run into you again.” He emphasized the words ‘pay the price‘.

Sunny understood that Lucas never joked around with such things, and he knew that Corinne was.

Chapter 370 2/2 in deep trouble because Lucas was a man of his word. Even so, he could not bear to see Corinne being treated like that. After all, she was innocent, and the only reason she had been misunderstood as Luna was because of him.

Sunny gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to stand up, and stood in front of Corinne. “It’s not what you think it is, Lucas. She never did those things you accused her of, and she never pretended to be Luna. I lied to my classmates and told them that her name was Luna-” Lucas then slapped Sunny in the face. It came so abruptly that everyone was startled.

Sunny covered his face in shock and fear, and he slowly turned his head to face forward after the slap titled his head to one side. His ears buzzed, and there were tears in his eyes which he refused to shed. “I swear it wasn’t her. It was me…” “It was you, then. D*mn you, Sunny! How could you let someone greedy for wealth and power pretend to be your missing sister? What was your thought process behind that?” Lucas had always been a calm and elegant person, yet he was absolutely furious after being rubbed the wrong way.

He then pointed at Corinne with the same hand that slapped Sunny and asked, “Do you think she’s fit to use that name?”
