Jeremy narrowed his eyes. He walked up and pulled a dining chair so he could sit.
Greg and Pamela glanced at Chester when he stood up for Corinne.
Francine looked at him before turning to Jeremy and noticing his scowl. She wanted to tug on Chester's clothes so he would keep his thoughts to himself.
Greg cleared his throat and said, "Did you just say you can vouch for her, young man? How exactly are you going to do that?"
Chester had a firm expression as he explained, "Corinne became the highest scorer at the university entrance exams with her excellent results, and many famous universities wanted her to enroll with them. The University of New Capital City's dean personally sought Corinne out and enrolled her at the university. This is something every student of the university knows.
"If the rumors online were true, she wouldn't have been able to maintain her good grades after her enrolment. However, she continued to excel and make the university proud. As soon as that news went viral yesterday, everyone in our university felt that it was a bunch of baloney. Many of our fellow students helped correct the negative perception that Corinne was garnering, but our voices will be buried under layers of sensational comments.
"If you don't trust me, you may either send someone to check with the university or ask our dean to disprove those allegations."
Greg frowned after hearing Chester's defending Corinne. He looked pensively at Corinne before glancing at Chester again. "Your words hold no weight. I'll send someone to verify your statements with the university. I won't simply accept your claims as the truth. If what you said turns out to be true, the matter ends there. However, if the claims online turn out to be true, we won't hesitate to remove this fraudster from our household!"
Chester wanted to protest, but Corinne interrupted him and said, "I appreciate you standing up for me, but let's focus on eating breakfast."
She also pulled a chair and sat down beside Jeremy. Once she had taken her seat, she reached out to take the cutlery.

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...
