Chapter 99
Corinne snickered. “Fifteen thousand? As your fellow graduate, do you think I’m that easy to get taken advantage of?”
Ivanka snorted sarcastically. “But I thought your family was rich, Corinne. If you can donate a building to the school, why can’t you pay for a ukulele?”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “What if I don’t pay?”
“If you don’t…” Ivanka glared at her and threatened harshly, “Then don’t blame me for involving the police! This ukulele has your fingerprints on it, and everyone saw you playing it earlier! You won’t be able to escape!”
Corinne shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Ivanka was obviously upset after failing to get the limelight earlier and was merely there to cause more trouble.
It was a very unclassy act.
“Go ahead and call the police, then! Once they’re here, they can check if your ukulele is an antique, determine if it’s worth that much, and decide whether your behavior falls under extortion.”
Ivanka was stunned for a moment, and she had a flustered expression on her face. She did not expect her threats to have no effect at all, so she scolded her angrily, “Corinne, you cunning b*tch!”
Corinne smiled. “Am I the cunning one? Or are you just trying to frame me for no good reason?”
“It doesn’t matter! You need to compensate me for the scratches on my ukulele, and you need to do it by today! Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t pay me!” Ivanka failed to win an argument against Corinne, so she started to block Corinne from leaving.
‘Since I’ve failed to let Corinne make a fool of herself, I might as well have her pay me some money right now! My goal is to make sure she doesn’t leave this place so smugly!’ Ivanka was determined to give Corinne a hard time.
Indeed, she was the one who scratched the ukulele just to frame Corinne, and although her ukulele was not an antique instrument, it was still very expensive!
She could not let Corinne get away just like that. Otherwise, the damage she inflicted on her ukulele would be for naught!
As a result, she refused to rest until Corinne gave her the money.
Corinne had a good temper, but there were limits to how far she could endure such unreasonable behavior. Unable to bear it any longer, she clenched her fists and was about to strike Ivanka.

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...
