"She's a b*tch!" Francine could not bring herself to reveal that Corinne was her brother's wife. It was a privilege she would rather not give Corinne!
Her classmate felt a little awkward and did not know why Francine hated Corinne so much. "Well... Whatever it is, your family is super rich! It's amazing how you can just make donations on a whim!"
The Holdens have always kept a low profile, and although everyone in the school knew that Francine was a daughter of a wealthy family, they were unaware that her family was the Holdens—an elite upper-class family. Furthermore, no one had any idea that her brother was Jeremy, the Holdens' eldest son!
Francine was not in the mood to hear that sort of flattery. "Is my brother still in school?" she asked.
"He's probably discussing the building donation in the dean's office right now!" her classmate answered.
Francine got up, rushed out of the classroom, and took out her cell phone angrily to call Richard.
"Hey! Didn't you say that you were going to make my broth—I mean, my husband, loathe Corinne? It's already been a few days now. What have you been doing all this time?"
Richard was just as helpless and began explaining, "I'll be honest with you, Missus Holden. I've been waiting at the Carew house for several days now, but I didn't see Corinne at all! I don't have a chance to do anything if I don't see her! Where did that little minx go these past few days?"
Francine thought about it and realized that Richard did not spot Corinne at the Carews because he was unaware of the truth. Corinne lived with the Holdens instead of her family, so having a stakeout outside her home would evidently prove fruitless.
"I'll send you Corinne's location. Hurry up and get things done for me by today!"
Richard was more than happy to hear that. "It'd be perfect if you can help me!"
After ending the call, a gloomy trace of resentment appeared in Francine's eyes. Ever since Corinne married into the family, neither Pamela nor Jeremy spoiled her as much as before, and they even looked down on her all the time.
Moreover, Francine's ideal sister-in-law was not a country bumpkin like Corinne but the Riveras' daughter instead—who was the epitome of a graceful lady! She had always been very kind to Francine too, and Francine would be more than willing to chase Corinne out of the Holdens simply for the sake of the Riveras' daughter!
...
Inside the dean's office, Jeremy had been invited there to discuss the details of the building donation. Once everything had been wrapped up, the dean stood up and sent Jeremy out respectfully.

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...
