The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 289
“Corinne, I really wanted to be your friend. I even brought some homemade soup to share with you, so why did you want to hurt
me like that? What did I ever do to you that you wish to hurt me so badly?”
“You didn’t do anything to me. You’ve only been back for two days, so there was no way you could’ve done anything to me,” said
Corinne calmly and with a smirk on her face. She wondered if Anya would be able to read between the lines.
Anya returned home two days ago, while Corinne had been hospitalized since yesterday morning due to her suffering from a
severe allergic reaction. All throughout her stay, Annie and Jeremy had been by her side, so there was no time for her to hatch
some devious plan even if she wanted to hurt Anya.
Besides, there was also the fact that no one even knew when Anya would return until yesterday. The plan would not have
worked unless Corinne had the psychic ability to predict the future. More importantly, Corinne did not even know who Anya was
until yesterday. They never had any contact with each other, so how could she do anything to her?
From the police officers‘ conjecture, Corinne might seem like the biggest suspect but not when the timeline was factored in.
Anyone who had a brain would rightfully conclude that
someone had set Corinne up and that she had no involvement in the crime at all.

come here to bring me soup at all. No, her real motive is annoyed he got. However, it was not like he could do anything because
he knew Corinne would be unhappy with him if he
forcefully pushed his way in.
Anya remained standing where she was, next to Jeremy. He was wearing an expression that she had never seen him wear
before. It was one of lovesickness and helplessness. Silently, she waited with him for the interrogation to finish.
“Jeremy... If, and I’m saying if, Corinne was the one who hired someone to hurt me, would you ever...divorce her?” probed Anya
carefully and suddenly.
Jeremy’s eyes froze over, and without even giving it a thought, he simply said, “No.”
Immediately, Anya’s eyes became wet with tears. “Why? She should be punished for doing something so heinous...”
