The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 916

Josephine's mother clutched her daughter's hand tightly. She cried pitifully, "Ma'am, we're from Westrise Village. Josephine, my daughter here, and Corinne were in the same class in high school."

Corinne, sitting beside Pamela, was sipping her coffee. Hearing this, she looked at Josephine. 'She does look like one of the girls in my class, but I don't think I was ever close to her.'

"So?" prompted Pamela.

"Corinne wasn't doing all that well in high school. She'd often skip class to hang out with the young thugs outside of school," Josephine's mother continued.

Pamela frowned. She did not really believe the older woman's words. She turned to look at her sensible granddaughter-in-law and thought, 'No matter how I see it, Corinne doesn't look like someone who'd skip class.'

Corinne simply smiled as if she was listening to the funniest joke on earth and calmly sipping her coffee.

Josephine's mother added, "On the day of their SAT exams, my daughter arrived in class on time. She's the top student in her year, and every teacher held her in high regard. But when it came to getting her results, there was no record of her name in the system.

"We all thought it was weird, so we went to the school to ask for an explanation. But the school just gave us some vague excuse to get us off their case. We couldn't do anything after that since we're just ordinary folks with no power or connections. Thus, we resigned ourselves to fate, and my daughter didn't pursue her education after that. She stayed back home to help us with the farm…"

Both the older woman and Josephine started to sob pitifully at this point in the story.
