Chapter 143
Sherlyn raised her tear-stained face and said miserably, “Corinne, I’ve been good to you. I made you my assistant and even prepaid a month’s salary to you. Ask if other assistants are paid that much!” She, too, began to sob loudly. “Why did you ruin my career?!”
Lilliana hurried over to console her. “Don’t cry, Sherlyn. Your father and I know you’re very upset now. Corinne ruined your career because she’s jealous of you, but we’re a family. Why don’t you forgive her and believe she didn’t do it on purpose?”
It only made Marvin feel even worse. The more he looked at Corinne, the angrier he felt. “Take a good look! Look at how nicely Lilliana treats you! She’s still trying to convince Sherlyn to forgive you! But what about you?!”
Corinne stretched her mouth and smiled sarcastically.
At the moment, Marvin really dreaded using the broom to beat Corinne, but something must have. changed his mind as he decided against it. In the end, he threw away the broom and said angrily, I’m not going to beat you today. Pack up your things and go back to the countryside. Don’t come here ever again! I’m going to compensate Sherlyn by giving her your dowry and money!”
By the time Marvin finished, Corinne could see Lilliana and Sherlyn exchanging looks with each. other with sinister grins.
Frankly, Goran was never going to get the funds from Jeremy and the others, even if she did not. accidentally spill the tea onto Jeremy. Sherlyn was well aware of that, but she used this to chase Corinne back to the countryside and have Corinne lose her right to inherit part of the family’s wealth.
All along, Sherlyn and Lillian’s motive was to make sure Corinne would not get part of the wealth.
Corinne never thought of receiving anything from the family. Plus, she never thought that wealth was worth anything to her. Despite that, she did not want to let Sherlyn and Lilliana get what they wanted.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
