Chapter 545
“I just forgot about it, that’s all! Do you know how many rooms I have to clean up every day? It stands to reason I’ll forget which is which,” said Oliver stubbornly.
Corinne smiled. “Oh my, your memory isn’t that great huh? Now I’m worried whether you’ve ever mixed up the orders you’re in charge of. Though I must wonder why the owner of this restaurant would keep you on the job if your memory is as bad as you’ve implied.”
Oliver guiltily shifted his eyes away from her. “No! It’s only today my memory isn’t that great cause, ’cause I’m not feeling well. Miss, why do you insist on pushing the blame on me when you’re the one who snatched the bowl of soup away from me and poured it all over the kid?”
“Did I say you have anything to do with that? I’m just asking you where the memory card is.” Corinne suddenly smiled but only for a second before her face became serious again. “Oliver, it’s still not too late for you to hand over the memory card now. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and they have ways of finding out who took the memory card.
“I do believe that you were cautious enough to wipe away the fingerprints on the security camera but what you might know is, the police became more advanced in recent years so even if you’ve wiped away the fingerprints, you’ll still leave behind some of your skin cells and those can stay in the air for up to 24 hours.
“The police would only need to collect some of the skin cells and compare it to the suspect’s DNA to determine whether he’s the perpetrator. This is what they called the Touch DNA method.

However, what they did not know was Corinne made everything up. There was no such thing as Touch DNA. She only came up with all that to scare Oliver into confessing.
Oliver who was not that highly educated did not understand the words that came out of Corinne’s mouth. He could, however, tell she was highly educated so he believed her. Thus, he started panicking, thinking the police had the way to put him at the crime scene using his DNA.
“No! That’s not it! Why would I want to hurt an innocent kid when I have no grievances toward any of you?”
“Then tell me, did you or did you not take the memory card out of the security camera and if you did, whose order did you do it under?” asked Corinne, giving him the final blow.
Oliver was sweating profusely. He instinctively glanced at Anya and said, “She, she was the

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...
