Chapter 428
Sherlyn snapped out of the shock and looked enviously at Corinne. “Huh! Where else could she have gotten the money from if not by deceiving Jeremy to give her some?” she said saltily.
Lilliana, of course, thought the same way as her. “Corinne, you shouldn’t use other people’s money to clean up your mess. Aren’t you afraid that the Holden family would look into this and punish you if they found out you use their money without their permission?”
Corinne smiled. “Aunt Lilliana, you seem to have forgotten something very important. Jeremy
is
my husband so technically speaking, his money is also my money. Take yourself for
example, has your husband ever asked you to give back all the money you’ve spent that was his, to begin with?”
Lillian’s face first became pale with shock then black with anger. She was so angry that she could not think of a comeback.
Sherlyn’s face looked even more terrible than her mother’s. She thought that the Holden family would look down on Corinne who grew up in the countryside and that they would eventually chase her out of the house. She did not expect Corinne to be able to control such a large sum of the Holden family’s money, to the extent that she began to doubt everything about her life.
A black luxury minivan was parked not far from where the Carew’s house was. After coming out of the house, Corinne slid open the car door and got into the minivan.
Inside, Xante was seated in the driver’s seat and was reapplying her lipstick with the help of the rearview mirror while Aaron was seated in the front passenger seat playing a game on his smartphone to pass the time.
Aaron immediately exited the game when he saw Corinne was back. He turned around and asked, “Boss, sorry to butt in your business but why do you still treat the Carews so nice when they were nothing but horrible to you? Besides, I’m sure it’ll be easy for you to take your revenge now.”
Corinne massaged her temples. She was exhausted so she leaned against the leather seat and closed her eyes. She stayed like that for a moment before saying softly, “My mom must’ve been desperate back then for her to seek help from an old classmate who she didn’t see for so many years. It doesn’t matter why Mister Carew decided to take me in but for him to risk his life to help my mother when she was at her most helpless is something I’m grateful for. From now on, as long as the Carews don’t bother me, I won’t seek revenge for what they have done to me in the past.”

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...
