The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 337
Corinne replied, [No, it’s not him.]
[Xanten: Interesting! That means someone deliberately created a smokescreen that would lead anyone who saw that scene to
misunderstand! I’m 90% positive that Anya did it.]
Corinne had similar suspicions, too. It was not that she doubted Jeremy’s explanation or questioned his ability to investigate
such a trivial matter, but she simply could not believe that a situation that had such a small probability of happening could
happen so coincidentally.
Anya somehow came back on the day that Jeremy arranged a sea of tulips, and on her return, someone publicly professed their
love on a grand scale at the Century Bank Tower to another girl whose name also started with ‘An‘. More importantly, that costly
profession of love did not include the other party’s full name but only the first two characters.
Who would know which girl that confessor was referring to? It could be Anya, Anna, Annie, Annabelle, or anyone whose name
started with those two letters. Besides, any woman whose name started with ‘An‘ would probably not automatically assume that
the confession was directed to her.
The fact that the person had chosen to confess their love publicly proved that he was someone who preferred to show affection
on a grand scale. By that logic, it was a contradiction to their ostentatious character to omit using the person’s name.
On the other hand, it was also normal for Jeremy to end the investigation after finding out that the person being confessed to on
the LED screen was someone named Anna Fuller.
Anya was Jeremy’s savior, so it was natural for him not to suspect her because of that. After all, it was unlikely for one to make
negative speculations about the girl who sacrificed her life to save him.
Corinne was different. She was not friends with Anya, and she had grown to have a bad impression of Anya after getting to know
the latter in the past few days. She even felt that Anya was a bit of a hypocrite despite the docile and often kind–hearted outlook
that was portrayed.
Furthermore, the incidents that happened in recent days began ever since Anya’s return and showed no signs of stopping just
yet. It was difficult for her not to feel that everything was connected to Anya. If that were true, the pure–looking and gentle girl
would be an extremely sly person whom Corinne would have to be wary of in the future.

At that moment, the phone suddenly vibrated and brought Corinne back to her senses. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that
the name was titled ‘Grandpa‘. She felt puzzled at first because she did not have a grandfather, but she soon realized that she
was using Jeremy’s cell phone, and the ‘Grandpa‘ in question was Jeremy’s grandfather.
Corinne felt a little conflicted. She could not answer that call because she never met the man, and he probably did not know who
she was either. As a result, she picked up the phone and was about to bring it to Jeremy’s study, but her finger swiped on the
answer icon by accident.
The call was connected.
On the other end of the phone came an old man’s angry, questioning voice.
“Jeremy you good–for–nothing! What sort of swine did you bring into our home? Aren’t you all grown up now? Why would you be
with a cheating, scandalous woman? I think you’re just trying to anger me to death in my last days!”
Corinne’s lips twitched. If her guess was right, the swine‘ that the old man spoke of was none other than her.
