The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“They all said you were dead, Jeremy, but I didn’t believe any of it! I knew you wouldn’t leave us so easily! I’m so glad I held on
to my beliefs! It’s such a relief to see you alive!”
Jeremy nodded. “Sorry you had to worry about me.”
Sophia suddenly had a melancholic expression. “What about Corinne...”
Jeremy opened his mouth. “She—”
“That’s right! Corinne was nowhere to be found!” Francine ran over and said to Jeremy after hearing Sophia mention Corinne’s
name. She was back after she helped Pamela take a seat at the police station.
Sophia had a worried expression. “Corinne is pregnant and missing. This isn’t a good sign. If something happens to her, then—”
“Were you looking forward to something to happen to me, Miss Sophia?” Corinne interrupted Sophia’s words insipidly.
Both Sophia and Francine were startled to hear Corinne’s voice. They looked toward the door of the interrogation room and saw
Corinne walking out calmly.
When Jeremy saw her, he came to her and reached out to support her.
Francine was overjoyed. “Sister-in-Law!”
Sophia had a contrived expression. “Corinne? So you’re... You’re here too! That’s good!”
Corinne did not refuse Jeremy’s help and placed her hand on Jeremy’s forearm. She looked at Sophia and raised her eyebrows.
“Are you genuinely happy to see me?”
Sophia nodded vigorously. “Yes! Of course! We have nothing to worry about anymore if you and Jeremy are both safe and
sound!”
Corinne curled her lips. “You don’t seem too happy to me. Since I’m still in one piece, your plan to lead me to the ruins after the
explosion so those gangsters could bring me away ended up in vain.”
“What?” Francine frowned and looked at Sophia. “You led my sister-in-law into heading to the place where the explosion
happened? You pretended not to know anything when I called you to ask where she went!”

Sophia’s cheery expression stiffened slightly. “I swear I didn’t know anything, Francine! I have no idea why Corinne said that. I
didn’t even meet her before everything happened!”
Sophia then glared at Corinne resentfully. “I’m really glad you came back in one piece, but you can’t just use this as an
opportunity to make false accusations! When did I lead you to the ruins? I wouldn’t even dare to step foot there!”
Corinne was not surprised at her blatant lies and snorted softly. “What reason do I have to make false accusations?”
Sophia frowned and had a frustrated expression. “I know that you’ve always hated me because Jeremy and I are legally married,
but I’ve already explained to you that we got the marriage certificate as a personal favor between friends. There’s nothing else to
it. This is just one big misunderstanding! You can’t just falsely accuse me of something I didn’t do just because you’re jealous of
that!”
“Falsely accuse you?” Corinne had to contain her laughter. “Then let me ask you this: Did you print those leaflets and hire
someone to throw them in the Riveras’ yard so I would see the news of Jeremy’s death? Didn’t you want to stir my emotions to
the point where it might affect my baby?
“Did you also spread rumors that Jeremy’s grandparents made a will and wanted to pass on all the Holdens’ assets to the baby
in my fetus? Wasn’t that an act of turning me into a target for those gangsters?
“You helped me escape from the hospital and led me to the ruins with the plan of either having those gangsters take me away,
harm me, or get rid of my baby to avoid any other trouble in the future! You didn’t expect me to survive all that and come out
unscathed, which I’m sure you have difficulty accepting.”
