The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355

“And this is how you repay her? Well, I guess it’ll be foolish of me to expect anything less than the Rivera family. You must’ve been taught that it’s only right to repay those who helped you with revenge!”

Sunny felt both bitter and ashamed at having to admit to doing something he did not do. However, he had no choice but to shoulder the burden for the sake of Anya and Lucas.

“No, that’s not true. Lucas and Anya had always taught me to not bite the hand that feeds me! It’s just that I was too stupid to pay their words any mind. I now know I was in the wrong for slandering Corinne.

“Jeremy, it was I, and I alone, who did this. It doesn’t have anything to do with my family, so please don’t drag them into this. I’m willing to take whatever punishment you have in mind for me.”

Jeremy scoffed. His face was as black as thunder. “How dare you tell me who I should and should not punish when you’re the sinner? My poor wife helped your grandfather out of the kindness of her heart, and what did she get in return? A bunch of people bullying her online! You and your whole family will surely pay…”

“Jeremy!” exclaimed Anya tearfully. She suddenly appeared in the dining room and had run over to protect Sunny. She looked at Jeremy with her big, sad puppy eyes and said, “Sunny’s still just a kid! He didn’t know any better. I was shocked to find out he’d do such a thing, too.

“Nevertheless, I’m his sister, and as his sister, I can’t bear to see him like this. Jeremy, for my sake, can’t you just let him off the hook this time?”

Jeremy stared at the teary–eyed Anya with a frown on his face.

Noticing his hesitation, Anya quickly grabbed Sunny’s elbow and said, “Sunny, kneel now to show Jeremy how sorry you are. He’s not that bad of a person, so he’ll surely forgive you if you just show how remorseful you are about the whole thing.”

Sunny looked at Anya in astonishment. No matter how much he was unwilling to do what she said, he had no choice but to do it. Frowning, he slowly got down on his knees when…

“Get up!” a woman’s voice rang down from upstairs before Sunny’s knee even hit the floor.

It was Corinne.

Sunny was a little taken aback. He looked up and looked at her in astonishment. ‘Could it be…she doesn’t think I was the one who did it?‘

Anya immediately knew the situation would not turn out well for her if she allowed this to continue. Her eyes became teary again as she pushed her way in front of Sunny and tearfully pleaded, “Corinne, you can take your anger out on me, but please, just let Sunny go. He’s still young and has a lot to learn. If you let the matter slide this time, Lucas and I will make sure he learns his lesson.”

Corinne raised one of her eyebrows. “Oh? Did I hear wrongly then? Didn’t this man here say that Jeremy could punish Sunny however he sees fit? And yet here you are, pleading for us to let the matter slide. Who exactly is in charge in the Rivera family? Or is this your family’s way of worming out of wrongdoings?”

Anya was speechless. Her face immediately stiffened, and she looked like she was going to burst into a sob. “No matter what, he’s the only little brother I have. Please, I beg of you…”

Corinne immediately put her hands into a cross position and said, “Save your tears, Anya. They don’t work on me. You should go cry to those who actually care about you.”

Then, she gestured meaningfully with her chin at the man sitting down at the dining table. Jeremy was totally speechless.
