The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346

Lucas‘ face softened when he saw Anya’s eyes reddening. He reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and said, “There, there. Don’t cry, Anya. I was just asking…”

Anya sniffled sadly. “But your tone says otherwise. You sounded so mean…”

Lucas sighed with resignation. Then, he continued to patiently explain to her, “Anya, that phone has never left the drawer in my study, but now, there’s an edited version of the video posted online to slander Corinne, resulting in a public uproar.

“I was just going through a standard procedure of making sure no one in our family is the culprit before letting Edmund question the other staff in the household.

“Do you now understand? And you should know that, as your brother, I’ll always trust you a hundred percent, okay?”

Anya wiped away her tears and nodded like a little girl. “Okay. If this is the case, it’s totally understandable that you’ll suspect me, since I’m the only one in this house who has total access to your study.”

Lucas patted her head. He regretted being so harsh on Anya and knew he should have trusted her more. After all, she had always been a sensible little sister.

“But it really wasn’t me. You know I won’t ever do something like that. It’s just not in me. Besides, I wasn’t the only one who went into your study. Recently, didn’t you ask Sunny to finish his homework in your study before he was allowed to go out to play?

“Felix–the servant in charge of taking care of Sunny–and all the other servants who brought in refreshments for Sunny, they had been into your study too. You should interrogate them and see which one of them would do something so despicable as to slander Corinne on the Internet!”

“Sunny?” The expression on Lucas‘ face immediately became serious.

Anya pretended to be startled. Then, she said anxiously, “Lucas, do you think Sunny could’ve done it in a moment of anger? You know, because he wanted to make Corinne pay for what she did to

Rosie?”

After he calmed himself, he turned to Anya and gently said, “Anya, you must be tired after going out with your friends. You weren’t feeling well this afternoon too, so you should head to bed. I still have some work I need to finish.”

“Okay, I’ll leave you to your work then. But remember to take it easy. I’m sure the investigation will turn up with something soon. Goodnight, Lucas.”
