The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 951-Anya turned pale when Corinne revealed the photo of herself meeting Lilliana and Sherlyn. Phoebe saw the photo too, and she had a bad feeling about the whole thing.

Corinne showed the photo to Lucas. “Mister Lucas, is this Anya in the photo?” Lucas took Corinne’s phone and studied the photo. A frown appeared on his face as he then looked at the pale-faced Anya. “What were you doing there?” he asked her.

Anya never thought she would be photographed, given how cautious she had been. ‘Both Lilliana and Sherlyn must’ve aroused Corinne’s suspicion!’ Anya blinked guiltily. “Lucas, I… I didn’t…”

Lucas scoffed angrily. “Huh! You didn’t, you say? How can you still deny any wrongdoing when you’ve been photographed meeting Lilliana and Sherlyn?” “That photo might be fake, for all we know! Photo manipulation technology is so advanced right now. That photo could’ve been Photoshopped! I won’t even be surprised if she used AI technology to create a deep-fake video about me.

Lucas, you mustn’t believe everything you see!” insisted Anya.

“Yeah, Lucas. You mustn’t jump to conclusions like that,” said Phoebe. “Judging from how she came prepared with that photo, Miss Corinne doesn’t seem to have come with good intentions. Chaos seems to follow her whenever she comes to our house! Lucas, you must think this through carefully, or she’ll play you!” Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Aunt Phoebe, do you really think Miss Corinne has that much free time to waste on our family?” “Uh…” Corinne glanced at Phoebe. “Miss Phoebe, I can assure you this photo isn’t fake. You’re more than welcome to take this photo to be analyzed at any credible fake photo detection company. I’m willing to bow in front of your daughter and ask for forgiveness if the photo turns out to be fake,” she said calmly.

Phoebe knew the photo was real, of course, but she would never admit that out loud. ‘But we’ll be busted if we take that photo to be analyzed!’ She glared at Corinne. “Miss Corinne, you must’ve paid off all the credible fake photo detection companies since you so confidently showed us the photo.

What’s to say we won’t get a false report if we take that photo to get analyzed?” Corinne chuckled softly. “You’re a very cautious one, Miss Phoebe. Even if it was as you said, that I paid off all the credible fake photo detection companies in the country, you can always look for the companies abroad. Plus, it’s not that hard to check whether a photo is Photoshopped… I believe it’d be an easypeasy job to find someone trustworthy to do it, given the Riveras’ connections.” Phoebe gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Anya pinched her inner palm to calm herself. She then put on an innocent expression and asked, “Corinne, just what are you trying to achieve by showing us that photo?” Corinne looked at her indifferently. “Miss Anya, the two women you’ve met up with were my stepmother, Lilliana, and her daughter, Sherlyn. The three of you aren’t from the same circle, so why would you meet with them in some rural park outside of the city that early in the morning? And what’s inside that black leather case you have in your hand?” Anya’s expression subtly faltered, but she had been trained to maintain her composure at all times. Thus, no one really noticed the change in her expression.

“That can’t be me in the photo since I didn’t even go out this morning! You can ask the servants in the house if you don’t believe me. Go on. Ask them whether any of them saw me go out this morning!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 952-‘It looks like she’s not going to admit her wrongdoing unless I have some irrefutable evidence,’ thought Corinne. She put her palm to her face and shook her head. ‘Ugh, she and her mother are being ridiculous! The proof is right in front of them, yet they’re still trying to worm their way out.’ Looking at how helpless Corinne looked, Anya thought she was giving up.

“Corinne, you should ask your stepmother and her daughter instead who they met in the park just now and what they got from the stranger. I can assure you that I wasn’t the one who met up with them…” she advised kindly.

Corinne smiled. “Miss Anya, it sounds like you and your mother will always label incriminating photos and videos of you and her as fake.”

“No, it’s not that we want to label them as fake. It’s just that you can’t prove they’re real, either. Plus, you’ve always been biased against me because of Jeremy. Not to mention, you see me as your love rival…” said Anya innocently.

‘Love rival? Ha!’ Corinne never saw Anya as her love rival at all. She never fought over Jeremy with her before. That one time when she mistakenly thought something was going on between Anya and Jeremy, she chose to leave him without hesitation.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Corinne could tell Jeremy did not even like Anya at all. Thus, why would she see her as a love rival? ‘Anya’s really full of herself, huh?’ With her forehead still resting on her hand, Corinne said, “Miss Anya, you’re really delusional, do you know that? I’m so busy with my life that you don’t even come into my radar at all.” Anya smiled. “Corinne, we’re all girls here, so I understand how stubborn we can be. But I must say, it’s no big deal if you admit it.” Corinne scoffed lightly. “Whatever. I’ll just leave you to your delusions. Back to the main topic, Miss Anya. We can check the surveillance camera in the street if you and your mother insist that this photo is fake. There won’t be an issue of whether the footage is fake ’cause everyone knows it can’t be fake.

“Miss Anya, you drove the spare car that you bought without your family knowing to the park outside the city this morning, right? Did you know the surveillance camera caught you in action? There’s even a record of a traffic ticket being issued to you for running a red light.” As she spoke, Corinne took back her phone from Lucas and opened up a traffic management app to check the relevant surveillance footage.

Anya immediately paled when she saw what Corinne was doing. A minute ago, she thought that she did not have the means to get the surveillance footage.

Corinne not only had the means to do that, but she also connected her phone to the TV in the Riveras’ living room so everyone could watch the footage together!

The surveillance footage was very clear, and there was even the time and date stamped on the upper right corner.

It showed Anya driving an inconspicuous car to the outer city at five o’clock in the morning!

Phoebe started to panic.

Cedric and Beatrice started frowning. Then, they both turned to look at their lying granddaughter with eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 953-They were disappointed Anya lied and was baffled as to why she would do that.

Lucas narrowed his eyes at Anya after looking at the surveillance footage. “How do you explain this, Anya? Why is there a traffic record of you driving out of the city when you’ve insisted you didn’t?” Anya became a little deflated when faced with Lucas. “That… That’s because I didn’t sleep well last night, so I went for a drive to cheer myself up. I thought I’d drive out of the city since it’s a quieter route, but that doesn’t mean I went to the park!” Corinne scoffed. “Miss Anya, didn’t you insist you didn’t go out this morning?

Why the change in tune of your story? Which is the truth, then? Aren’t you just

contradicting yourself?” Anya’s gaze darted around. “I… I…” Lucas frowned. He had completely given up on Anya.

“Why did you sneak out of the house and choose a car your family didn’t even know you had if you were just going out for a drive to cheer yourself up?” asked Corinne. “Doesn’t this just prove you didn’t want anyone to know where you were going or who you were meeting? If you have nothing to hide, Miss Anya, why did you go through all this trouble, huh?” Anya’s eyes were trembling so hard they seemed about to fall out of their sockets. She could not think of a retort at all.

“Miss Corinne, that’s enough!” Phoebe interjected. “Just what are you trying to achieve by coming to my house this early in the morning to sling baseless accusations at my daughter?” Corinne looked condescendingly at her. “Miss Phoebe, I’m not slinging baseless accusations at your daughter. In fact, I think she’s just like you: A woman who’s willing to do anything to get what she wants.” Phoebe scowled. “How… How dare you talk to me like that? Mom, Dad, Lucas, you all heard what she said, right? She’s finally showing her true colors!” Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances. They both thought Corinne was a little hostile today, but Lucas’ heart went out to her since he understood why she hated Phoebe so much.

Corinne ignored Phoebe. “Yesterday, my stepmother brought her husband, daughter, and the mother-daughter duo who slandered me online to my house.

The mother-daughter duo said they had come to seek justice from the Holdens because I supposedly stole her precious daughter’s university spot and even accused me of being a high-school sl*t. The Holdens didn’t buy their lies, so they turned to the internet to slander me.

“But how could two ordinary people who came from the countryside cause this big of a ruckus in such a short time? It’s impossible. Not to mention, they did the same thing overseas when their news and public comments were banned in our country.

“I’m not worried about my reputation being damaged since I knew I didn’t do anything wrong. But what p*sses me off is that they had to involve the Holdens.

Not only did the Holden Group’s shares drop to the bottom, but the family’s reputation was dragged through the mud, too.

“So don’t tell me it’s a coincidence Anya just so happened to be at the same park with my stepmother and her daughter for her to pass them the black leather case containing god-knows-what.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 954-Corinne picked up the cooled water and drank before turning to smile at the guilt-stricken Anya.

“But if I were to guess, that black leather case must be filled with cash, right?

But why would Anya give my stepmother so much cash? Was she trying to be a good daughter in my stead? No. There’s only one reason: Miss Anya bribed my stepmother, who never liked me, to bring Josephine and her mother to the Holdens’ mansion to malign me so that I’d be kicked out of the house.

“But their plan failed, so Miss Anya asked my stepmother to teach Josephine and her mother to bring the matter online. Both Josephine and her mother don’t look like people who know their way around online, so it was obvious someone must’ve guided them. Who’d be more qualified to do that than my stepmother?

She had honed her skill of creating a buzz to make her precious daughter famous back then.

“But having my stepmother guide Josephine and her mother wasn’t enough.

The one surefire way of making sure the buzz doesn’t die down is to use money to fuel the flames. Though, the Carews don’t have any money or connections.

The most they could do was to create a little buzz before the news died down again. Plus, there were not many things they could do since the Holdens had issued stern warnings to all the media companies to not report on the scandal.

“But then, Josephine and her mother decided to take the matter overseas.

Someone must’ve given them the resources to do that. And who else would dare to risk crossing the Holdens by backing Josephine and her mother when they had no proof to show what they said was true—except for the Riveras?” Cedric and Beatrice could not help but frown when they heard the accusation.

The Riveras might not get along with the Holdens, but they would never kick someone when they were down or participate in something that did not bring any benefit to their interest.

Lucas, however, knew Corinne was not really talking about everyone in the Rivera family. “Corinne, are you saying…” Corinne took another unhurried sip of her water. “The mastermind behind the online slandering is none other than Miss Anya! She was the one who planned the whole thing, and she was also the one who fueled the flames.” Cedric and Beatrice looked at Anya in disbelief.

Lucas, however, was not surprised since he was no longer blind to just how evil Anya could be, Though, he still blamed himself for spoiling her in the past.

Anya still had not given up yet. She glared vehemently at Corinne as if she was the victim. “Corinne, what right do you have to accuse me like that? Where’s your proof? I don’t even know the mother and daughter who slandered you online, nor have I ever met them. You can’t malign me like this just because you want to prove yourself innocent.” Corinne scoffed coldly. “It’s true you don’t know Josephine and her mother since you’ve always been cautious not to leave any traces. That’s why you chose to pay off my stepmother to do your bidding instead while you secretly used your family’s connection and influence abroad to create a buzz around the lies they had been spouting nonstop!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 955-chapter will update soon

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 956-Lucas frowned, and his eyes darkened with annoyance. “So you resorted to hysterics once you ran out of counter-arguments? Do you think this will make you look innocent?” ‘Hysterics? Did he really use that word on me? No! I’m Anya Rivera, the second daughter of Maxwell Rivera. I’m not the one for hysterics! Plus, I was forced by Corinne to do this ’cause only by doing this can I get Grandpa, Grandma, and Lucas to stand on my side.’ It might have worked on Cedric and Beatrice, but what Anya did not expect was that Lucas had changed. He no longer loved or accepted her unconditionally anymore.

Tears poured out from Anya’s eyes. “Lucas, I don’t mean to behave this way, either… But Corinne left me with no choice. You were there when she insisted on calling me the mastermind behind her online scandal. I… I just feel so wronged…” Lucas’ expression hardened. “It’s not like she’s throwing baseless accusations at you.” Anya looked hurt. “Lucas, how can you not believe me? How can you believe her instead?” “The traffic surveillance footage proved you went out this morning when you say you didn’t. Based on this alone, it makes it very hard for me to believe everything you told us just now,” replied Lucas.

Anya blinked a few times out of guilt. She then implored Lucas, her eyes akin to a sad puppy, “What’s so wrong with me wanting to go out for a drive? And I’ve told you, I’ve never met Corinne’s stepmother in my life. That photo she showed us must’ve been Photoshopped! I swear that wasn’t me in the photo.” Lucas narrowed his eyes in annoyance. He was frustrated at how unrepentant Anya was. He was that close to giving her a beating or kicking her out of the house, but alas, he knew he should not do that.

At that moment, Vicky checked the time on her watch. “Mister Lucas, my stepmother and her daughter should be here by now. Can you please ask someone to bring them in?” Lucas was stunned for a couple of seconds, but he nodded after guessing what Corinne was about to do. He then gestured with his eyes for a servant to bring Lilliana and Sherlyn into the living room.

Anya’s turned even paler than before when she heard Lilliana and Sherlyn were coming. ‘Corinne got them to come? But Lilliana already took my money! Is she trying to betray me?!’ She looked pleadingly at Phoebe, but her mother was at a loss for what to do as well.

Corinne suddenly got up before Lilliana and Sherlyn came in. “It’s no secret I don’t have a good relationship with my stepmother, so I took the liberty to use Miss Anya’s name to invite them here. We should all leave the room and leave her here alone. This way, we’ll be able to find out whether my stepmother knows Miss Anya or not. What do you all think?” Lucas got up too and said to the servants standing by, “Help Grandpa and Grandma back to their room.” Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances. They found it very odd that their usually cold and aloof grandson would so easily go along with everything Corinne said. It was out of his character!

However, they both thought Corinne’s request sounded reasonable. If doing so could rule out the suspicion Anya knew Lilliana, then it was not too much trouble for them to do what Corinne said.

Thus, they both got up with the help of the servants and went back to their room, which was only just a little distance away from the living room.

Corinne glanced at the pale-faced Anya before saying to Phoebe, “You should go too, Miss Phoebe. Both Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice had gone back to their room, so it’d be rude of you to stay here too.” Phoebe wanted to stay to help Anya, but she had no choice but to leave the living room after Corinne said that

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 957-Before Phoebe got up, she put her hand over Anya’s to remind her to stay calm and improvise no matter what would happen.

Anya looked up at her with panicked eyes; it seemed like she would not be calming down anytime soon.

As much as Phoebe wanted to stay, she had to follow Cedric and Beatrice back to their room. Corinne was the next to follow. Lucas threw a doubtful glance at Anya before going into the room, too.

After they all went into the room, Corinne kept the door slightly ajar so they could all hear what was going on outside.

A few moments later, Lilliana and Sherlyn were led into the grand living room by a servant. The two women looked confused as they did not know why Anya had asked them to come.

Lilliana smiled charmingly at Anya, who sat alone on the sofa. “How can I help you, Miss Anya? Do you have any other instructions other than the ones you gave us this morning?” Sherlyn smiled, too. “Yes, Miss Anya. Just let us know if you want us to do anything else. Did you call us over because you think we need to make up more dirt about Corinne? Well, consider that done. My whole family including me hates her so much that we can’t wait to see her life ruined.” Anya was as pale as a ghost. “Who… Who are you two? I’ve never met you two in my life at all…” she said with a frown.

Lilliana and Sherlyn were both shocked. They exchanged confused glances before turning back to look at Anya.

“You… You’re Miss Anya, correct?” Lilliana asked after recovering from her shock.

“Miss Anya, have you forgotten we met this morning at the park? Not to mention, you were the one who chose the location,” said Sherlyn in disbelief.

Anya blinked rapidly at Lilliana and Sherlyn, hoping they would get the hint. “I don’t know you two, and I’ve never seen you two before. Stop pretending like you know me.” Lilliana and Sherlyn had no idea what was going on, so they failed to get Anya’s hint.

“Mom, do you think Miss Anya has a twin? It’s possible the one we met this morning was her twin sister,” whispered Sherlyn.

Lilliana frowned in consternation. “No. I don’t think so. I’ve never heard she has a twin sister.” At that moment, everyone in Cedric and Beatrice’s room had their suspicions confirmed.

The two elderly people, with the help of their servants, were the first to walk into the living room. The first thing they did was to look at Anya with eyes filled with disappointment.

“How could you do this, Anya? I can’t believe you were the mastermind behind Corinne’s online scandal!” growled Cedric furiously.

Beatrice was livid as well. “How can you lie to your grandparents? Who taught you to do that? What happened to the good girl we all know?!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 958-Lilliana and Sherlyn were both shocked by their arrival. They looked at Cedric and Beatrice in confusion.

Even though Anya was not shocked, she felt like her world was shattering. She looked at them both feebly. “Grandpa, Grandma, I… I don’t know them, and… I have no idea what they were talking about! Corinne must’ve paid them off to frame me like this…” Corinne walked into the living room, too. “Miss Anya, the proof is right here.

There’s no use trying to get your way out of this,” she said with a chuckle.

Anya glared at her with hatred, but she was unable to offer up a retort.

Phoebe walked into the living room to defend her daughter. “Anya is right, you know! One of these women is your stepmother, and the other is your sister. It’s only natural they’d do anything to help you!” Corinne glanced at Phoebe before turning to Lilliana and Sherlyn. Then, she snorted as though she had heard a cold joke. “Miss Phoebe, do they look like they’d help me? Didn’t you hear what they said?” Phoebe knew this, but she was trying everything she could to save Anya. “You must’ve told them to say that in advance. You were the one who asked them to come here, so you must’ve told them what to say! Why, Corinne, you leave nothing up to chance when it comes to framing my daughter, huh?” Corinne did not want to waste her breath arguing with a person who could not see reason, so she turned to the two elderly people and their grandson.

“Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, Mister Lucas, you all heard what my stepmother and sister said to Miss Anya, right? It is up to you who to believe.

Though, I’m pretty sure you’ve got a clear answer in your heart.” Lilliana and Sherlyn knew they were in deep sh*t as soon as Corinne appeared in the living room. They started to panic while trying to think of a way to salvage the hole they had dug for themselves and Anya.

“Uh… Sorry, but we’ve gotten the wrong person! We don’t know Miss Anya at all. Corinne was the one who told us to come here,” said Lilliana quickly.

Sherlyn nodded rapidly. “Yes! Corinne was the one who told us to come here to frame Miss Anya.” Everyone—Anya, Phoebe, Cedric, Beatrice, and Lucas—in the room was speechless. ‘Oh my god, just how stupid can these two women be?’ they thought.

Phoebe’s argument might have worked if Lilliana and Sherlyn did not change their tune under pressure, but at this rate, it just looked comical.

The air inside the living room thickened with tension.

Frowning deeply, Cedric and Beatrice looked at the unrepentant Phoebe and Anya. They could not help but think how unlucky they were to have such a disgrace in their family.

After a while, Beatrice walked up to Corinne and held her hand. “You have my deepest apologies, Corinne. It’s our fault for not raising Anya properly. You wouldn’t have to suffer like this if we had taught her how to be a decent human being.” Corinne shook her head. “Please don’t apologize to me, Grandma Beatrice. This isn’t your fault.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 959-Cedrice walked toward Corinne with a cane. “Don’t worry, Corinne. I’ll teach them a lesson for framing you.” Corinne smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa Cedric. For believing me.” Lilliana and Sherlyn knew they could never escape this. They thought Cedric was referring to them instead of Anya and Phoebe when he said he would teach ‘them’ a lesson, causing them to want to run away in fright.Lilliana forcibly smiled. “Umm… Excuse me, but I need to go home to attend to some urgent matters. We’re going to make a move now.” Sherlyn grasped Lilliana’s elbow anxiously. “G… Goodbye, then.” After that, they ran out of the living room as quickly as possible and since the servants did not receive any order to stop them, they just let them go.Cedric and Beatrice paid no mind to Lilliana and Sherlyn at all. What they were really concerned about was how to punish Phoebe and Anya—the two women who brought disgrace to their family name.The two elderly people sat down, scowling. Frowning, Cedric looked at Phoebe and Anya. “What do you two have to say for yourself now?” he asked with a scoff.Anya was having an internal meltdown. She did not know what to say nor could she speak. Phoebe, however, was not going to surrender just yet. She gritted her teeth and thought, ‘If I’m going down today, I’m bringing Corinne down with me!’ “Dad, even if Anya was the mastermind behind the online scandal about Corinne, who’s to say there’s no truth to the stories? Maybe Anya was just trying to show everyone Corinne’s true colors so that fewer people would be taken in by her!” said Phoebe.Anya immediately calmed down when she heard what Phoebe said. A second later, an idea popped into her head. “Grandpa, Grandma, I admit I was the one who asked Corinne’s stepmother to make public all the shameful things Corinne put Josephine and her mother through.“I heard Josephine and her mother suffered a lot because of what Corinne did, so I couldn’t stand by and just do nothing. I must help bring justice to them. I was scared you’ll all tell me to mind my own business after finding out what I did. That was why I pretended I didn’t know Corinne’s stepmother just then…” Anya was the best at crying. She cried so hard that her shoulder started shaking.Phoebe grabbed her shoulder woefully before turning to scowl at Corinne. “Miss Corinne, if you have nothing to hide, why didn’t you address the allegations online?” The spotlight was on Corinne again.Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Miss Phoebe, the whole thing had gotten out of hand already. Do you really think anyone would believe me now?” Phoebe rolled her eyes and scoffed. “People will believe you if you can show them proof you didn’t do it. In other words, you can’t seriously ask people to believe you based on your words alone, right? Or could it be that you don’t have any proof at all?” “You’re right. I don’t have any proof at all.” Phoebe smiled victoriously. She cornered Corinne where she wanted her! “You can’t blame the social media users for taking Josephine and her mother’s side then, can you?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 960-“The allegations must be true since you don’t have any proof to say otherwise.Anya was just trying to do something kind for Josephine and her mother anonymously. That was why she asked your stepmother to be the middle person!” Corinne was so impressed by Phoebe’s quick wit to turn the tables around that she nearly clapped for her. ‘Phoebe might be shameless, but she sure is quickwitted!’ “I might not have any proof, but I have this!” Corinne casually tapped on her temple.No one knew what she was talking about.Phoebe frowned. “What do you mean? Is this another trick of yours? Well, you should give it up now!” Corinne crossed her arms nonchalantly. “Josephine and her mother kept saying I couldn’t have gotten into University of New Capital City with my grade, given how I always skipped class. Well, why don’t Josephine and I compete in a test where the whole thing will be broadcasted live?” Anya knew all the things Josephine and her mother said were fake and that it was Lilliana who taught them to say that. There was a very high chance their lies would be exposed if Corinne were to compete in a test against Josephine.Thus, she squeezed her mother’s hand, signaling to find a way to stop Corinne’s idea from moving forward.Phoebe, of course, knew what Anya was worried about. Thus, she said, “That girl had no choice but to earn a living by farming after you stole her university spot from her. She must’ve forgotten all that she learned in high school already!You, on the other hand, received the best education in the country, yet you want to compete in a test with her? Do you seriously think that’s fair?” “Don’t worry, Miss Phoebe. The test won’t be that hard. It’ll be on the most basic subject knowledge. I’m sure a true straight-A student like Josephine won’t forget something so simply just because she makes her living by farming. I mean, wouldn’t it have been difficult for her to get into the University of New Capital City if she had such a bad memory?” Corinne knew Anya and Phoebe were trying to stop the test from happening, so she decided not to ask for their opinions on the idea anymore. Instead, she turned to the two elderly people and asked, “Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, do you think my idea is fair?” Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other. They both agreed that it was fair for Corinne to do so. ‘Corinne’s right. A true straight A-student wouldn’t have forgotten all that she learned so easily.’ Cedric nodded. “I think that’s a perfect idea, Corinne.” Beatrice nodded too. “Yes, I think so too.” Phoebe could not do anything to stop Corinne as both Cedric and Beatrice had spoken.“Then, might I trouble you to arrange for the test, Grandpa Cedric? I’m worried that Miss Phoebe and Miss Anya will suspect me of cheating if I come up with the test questions. This way, it’ll save us all the time to say who’s right and who’s wrong again,” said Corinne.“Of course, Corinne. Don’t worry. You can leave that to me,” said Cedric authoritatively.“Thank you, Grandpa Cedric,” said Corinne with a polite smile. Then, she looked at Phoebe and Anya. “I’ll give Josephine three days to study. Three days later, I’ll hold a press conference where the test will be broadcast live. I’ll admit to all the allegations online if Josephine gets a higher score than me. If she doesn’t, then that just proves all the allegations she and her mother are spreading online are untrue!” Both Phoebe and Anya glared at Corinne and tried to suppress their objections.Just when Corinne was prepared to leave the place, she suddenly remembered something. “By the way, I don’t have Josephine or her mother’s contact, so please pass the message to them for me, Miss Anya.” She shrugged and said politely, “Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, Mister Lucas, I’ll be off now. Please remember to watch the live broadcast of the test three days later. Goodbye.” Corinne walked out of the entrance when both Cedric and Beatrice called out her name at the same time.“Corinne!” She heard them, but she did not stop walking.
