Lilliana comforted her daughter Sherlyn. "Don't worry, Sherlyn. I'll find a way to clear your name! Don't cry..."Corinne stood relaxedly to one side with a mocking smirk, and she even chuckled a little at the sight of Lilliana and Sherlyn in shambles.Sherlyn ceased crying the second she heard that little chuckle from Corinne. A frown appeared on her face, and she glared at Corinne while pointing resentfully at her. "It was you! You did this to me, Corinne!"Corinne cocked an eyebrow and spread her hands innocently. "How can a small-time maid like me be capable of doing that to you? It's expensive to pay for a headline slot in the news, and I can't afford to do that at all."Indeed, money was not involved, only certain tech-savvy skills.Sherlyn nonetheless stared unhappily at her. "Even if you didn't pay for the news to be in the headlines, you came here to add fuel to the fire in front of Dad. He wouldn't have known about the news if you weren't here!"Corinne frowned. "Weren'

Marvin had a gloomy expression and was still somewhat angry because the scandal involving his eldest daughter Sherlyn had become a trending topic.Corinne walked over slowly and persuaded him softly, "Dad, your health will be affected if you get angry. Don't worry so much about that whole incident with Sherlyn. I'm sure a lot of people will forget about it once all the fanfare dies down.""You're right." At the end of the day, Corinne was the more honest and sensible daughter, which saved Marvin from worrying too much about her.Many things had not gone smoothly for Marvin in recent days, and he frowned before asking, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"Corinne nodded and put the painting she was holding on the table. "Take a look at this painting, Dad..." she said while gently tearing off the kraft paper covering the painting. The piece's magnificent, artistic beauty soon came into view.She had brought with her 'Geese in Late Autumn'—one of her mother's posthumous
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 43
Corinne was not worried that Lilliana and Sherlyn would destroy the painting, mainly because Marvin was always very secretive about Nellie Nymphaea, and they were thus unaware that she was Corinne's mother. Even if they did find out the truth, Corinne was certain that they would not do anything to her mother's painting. After all, Lilliana and Sherlyn might not like her mother, but they loved riches and would probably be more than happy to be given something of such value....Corinne went out of her home, walked to a nearby bus stop, and began to wait for a bus back to the Holden home.As she waited for the bus, a black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of her.It was none other than Jeremy's vehicle. 'D*mn it, why do I always have to run into him outside?' Is the world too small, or did he just happen to be wherever she went?Tommy got down from the front passenger seat and opened the rear seat door for her. He then said respectfully, "Please get in the car, Miss Corinn

At the entrance of the Asian restaurant, Jeremy strode out of the car with Corinne by his side before walking into the restaurant.Tommy respectfully stood by the car and stared incredulously at Jeremy from behind.After Corinne suggested that they get some Asian food, he casually called Jeremy to inform him of Corinne's request. Little did he expect that Jeremy would agree to cancel the reservation at the French restaurant and change the venue to an Asian restaurant. His attitude toward Corinne seemed to be different from most.However, the more important issue was whether or not Asian cuisine even suited his taste palate....The aroma in the Asian restaurant was characteristically rich and spicy. Corinne had chosen a seat by the window, and she held a pen while browsing through the menu. Then, she raised her head and asked, "Do you take spicy food?"Jeremy, who was sitting opposite her, nodded slightly. "Yes."Corinne grunted in response and chose two spicy soups. The tables

Annie looked at Corinne with admiration and adulation. "I was right to make you my goddess! You're the only person who can bring my uncle down from his ivory tower to experience the wonders of this world!"The corners of Corinne's lips twitched as she smiled stiffly.It was not so much her ability as it was the agreement that existed between them. Since he needed her to cooperate in being affectionate in front of his grandmother, he had no choice but to be magnanimous and invite her to a meal.Jeremy shot Annie a cold look. "Didn't I tell you to reflect on your mistakes at home? Who said you could come out?"Annie pouted and stuck out her tongue. "I don't want to stay at home and spend my time reflecting on it! Isn't it depressing enough for me to get cheated on and have my wedding ruined? How could you bring yourself to have me lock myself up at home and reflect on it!"Jeremy ignored her protests and looked at the two people beside her.Sunny looked at Jeremy respectfully and g

"I'm coming along, Corinne!" said Annie as she stood up to follow Corinne.Sunny put his legs up on the seat, deliberately stopping Annie from following Corinne and Rosie, much to Annie's chagrin."Sunny, what's wrong with you? Move!"Annie rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, look at him…"Jeremy slowly averted his gaze from Corinne's back and gave Annie and Sunny a cold glance. Instantly, both of them fell silent.…In the washroom.After Corinne was done, she left the cubicle to go wash her hands.Rosie, seeing her coming out, went over to pass Corinne her jacket. She sheepishly said, "Corinne, can you please hold on to my jacket? I just realized there's no hook to hang the jacket."Corinne nodded. She drew out some tissues to wipe her hands dry before taking Rosie's jacket.After a while, Rosie came out from the cubicle. As she washed her hand, she looked at Corinne apologetically. "Sunny has always been a blabbermouth child since he was a kid. I hope you won't take it into

Annie felt bad and sympathized with Rosie. "What? Don't panic. We'll find that watch together!"Corinne squinted upon realizing where the situation could be headed to.Sunny also joined the search. All of a sudden, he remembered something and glared at Corinne suspiciously. He questioned, "Hey, weren't you the one holding Rosie's jacket when both of you went to the washroom?"Corinne nodded. "Yes, I did. What's wrong?"Sunny looked at her disdainfully. "Then give Rosie back her watch now!"There was not even a change in Corinne's expression. "I didn't take it. How am I going to give it back to her?"Sunny grabbed her arms and treated her like a thief, preventing her from running away. "You were the only one who held Rosie's jacket. If you didn't take it, who did?"Corinne remained calm. "She asked me to help her hold on to it when we were in the washroom. I only agreed to help her due to that."Sunny snorted sarcastically. "Then you took the chance and stole the watch from one

'Does that mean Mister suspects I stole the watch like Sunny and the other people, too?' Corinne thought.Come to think of it, they were not a real couple; trust never existed between them. Despite feeling a little disappointed, she did not care too much about it.She shook her head and answered calmly, "I didn't take it."No one could tell what Jeremy was feeling because of his cold expression. He responded calmly, "Alright, then. Let's go."The strong smell of food in the restaurant was making him uncomfortable, and he did not feel like staying for longer.Sunny was shocked to hear Jeremy saying they were leaving. He frowned vehemently as he found it hard to accept having things ended this way. He swiftly ran over and spread his arms to stop Jeremy from leaving."Jeremy, why are you believing her when she was caught red-handed?"Jeremy's long eyes squinted. "The watch didn't go missing, did it now? What else do you want her to do?"Sunny stubbornly argued, "But she's a thief!
