"The allegations must be true since you don't have any proof to say otherwise. Anya was just trying to do something kind for Josephine and her mother anonymously. That was why she asked your stepmother to be the middle person!"
Corinne was so impressed by Phoebe's quick wit to turn the tables around that she nearly clapped for her. 'Phoebe might be shameless, but she sure is quick-witted!'
"I might not have any proof, but I have this!" Corinne casually tapped on her temple.
No one knew what she was talking about.
Phoebe frowned. "What do you mean? Is this another trick of yours? Well, you should give it up now!"
Corinne crossed her arms nonchalantly. "Josephine and her mother kept saying I couldn't have gotten into University of New Capital City with my grade, given how I always skipped class. Well, why don't Josephine and I compete in a test where the whole thing will be broadcasted live?"
Anya knew all the things Josephine and her mother said were fake and that it was Lilliana who taught them to say that. There was a very high chance their lies would be exposed if Corinne were to compete in a test against Josephine. Thus, she squeezed her mother's hand, signaling to find a way to stop Corinne's idea from moving forward.
Phoebe, of course, knew what Anya was worried about. Thus, she said, "That girl had no choice but to earn a living by farming after you stole her university spot from her. She must've forgotten all that she learned in high school already! You, on the other hand, received the best education in the country, yet you want to compete in a test with her? Do you seriously think that's fair?"
"Don't worry, Miss Phoebe. The test won't be that hard. It'll be on the most basic subject knowledge. I'm sure a true straight-A student like Josephine won't forget something so simply just because she makes her living by farming. I mean, wouldn't it have been difficult for her to get into the University of New Capital City if she had such a bad memory?"
Corinne knew Anya and Phoebe were trying to stop the test from happening, so she decided not to ask for their opinions on the idea anymore. Instead, she turned to the two elderly people and asked, "Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, do you think my idea is fair?"
Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other. They both agreed that it was fair for Corinne to do so. 'Corinne's right. A true straight A-student wouldn't have forgotten all that she learned so easily.'

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...
