The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 996

Anya said firmly, “This is the only logical explanation. I can find no other reason why Lucas would care so much

about her! And don’t you think Dad looks at Corinne differently now? Didn’t you notice something unusual about his

tone whenever he spoke to her?”

Phoebe felt a wave of fear when she recalled Maxwell’s reaction upon laying eyes on Corinne. “If that’s true, it’s all

the more reason to kill Corinne!”

A ruthless expression appeared briefly in Anya’s eyes. “That’s for sure, but we can’t be the ones to do it.”

“Then who’s going to help us?”

“I’ve arranged for someone to deal with Corinne. Let’s just wait and see what happens.”

Phoebe glanced curiously at Anya. “Who is it?”

Anya said, “You’ll find out if she succeeds.”

Phoebe believed her daughter would not assign such an important task to an unreliable person. She did not ask any

further and merely said, “Okay, Anya. Let’s eat. Tell your adopted son to eat something too. He ignores me when I

talk to him, and he refuses to eat even if I feed him. He’s such a pain to take care of!”

Anya had a look of disgust. “Leave him be, then. I’ll have one less thing to worry about if he starves to death!”

Back at the Riveras, Corinne told Cedric and Beatrice the reason she skipped classes in senior high. She explained

to them that she had learned everything that was supposed to be taught in school. Her financial conditions forced

her to earn money by working, even though she had classes to attend.

She was not lying when she said she had to work; she founded Newmoon Group at the time. The company was still

in its infancy, hence why she had to devote more of her time to it. In essence, she was working for herself.

She did not reveal anything about Newmoon Group because she did not want too many people to know about her

identity.

In addition, she was already welcomed by many prestigious universities even though she had yet to take the

university entrance examination. She did not need to take the exam at all, but she still sat for it.

The University of New Capital City was not her first choice at all. It was only later that the dean came to her and

persuaded her to join them.

She wanted to make that clear to Cedric and Beatrice to prevent Phoebe and Anya from trying to fool them again.

In addition, she revealed to the old couple that Phoebe and Anya had sent several people to the countryside to

investigate her past. She also informed them that the two women had gotten someone to fabricate rumors online

and slander her.

Corinne’s detailed narration left Cedric and Beatrice distressed and a little sorry. They were heartbroken to hear

that Corinne had to make a living for herself at such a young age at the expense of her time as a student.

The old couple was even more ashamed of what their wretched daughter-in-law and granddaughter did to Corinne.

Beatrice reached out to hold Corinne’s hand. “We believe you. Rest assured that we’ll get justice for you. Phoebe

and Anya will be punished for this. Cedric has sent some servants to bring them to the countryside! They’ll have

some time out there.”

Cedric nodded. “You’ve suffered so much these few days. I’ll be stern with them even though they’re my family!”
