The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 362
Sunny scratched his head. “Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens will deepen if no one
comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy will be affected...” His voice unconsciously
became softer as he spoke. At that moment, he realized how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front
of Corinne.
Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. “Will you die for your kind sister if she tells you to?”
Sunny nodded without thinking. “Of course!”
Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. “What an awesome younger brother you are!”
Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there was some deep yet
negative implication in her praise. Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and asked again, “What do you mean by that, Corinne?
My sister treats me the best, and I can’t just leave her to die if she’s in danger. My life isn’t as important as hers!”
Corinne merely smiled and said nothing.
Anya was so cunning that she brainwashed and manipulated her younger brother. If Anya was as good a person as Sunny
believed her to be, she would not have allowed her younger brother to come forth, admit something that he never did, and take
responsibility as well as the blame for those actions even though he was a minor.
Moreover, if said matters had nothing to do with the Riveras, there was no need for one of them to
come forward and confess to it.
The only explanation as to why Sunny would have to take the blame was that Anya had a guilty conscience, knew who did it, and
was afraid that the foundations she laid would collapse if her deviousness was discovered. As a result, she tricked her younger
brother Sunny into taking all the blame so the matter would end there and no one would suspect her again.
In reality, the true culprit behind the scenes was none other than Anya.
That being said, Anya was extremely talented in manipulating people, and she could get those around her to die for her, be her
willing sacrifice, and even do evil deeds for her. On the other hand, Anya remained safe in the shadows and spurred people to
have the impression that she was weak, innocent, and pitiful.

Such abilities were far beyond the realm of an ordinary hypocrite.
Corinne could conclude that Anya’s duplicitous hypocrisy was twofold through the confirmation that Anya deceived Sunny to take
the blame for her and the results of Aaron’s investigation.
Aaron found out that there were a total of 1203 people named Anna Fuller in the city, yet none of them returned to the country on
the day that a certain mysterious individual publicly confessed their love on the LED advertisement board at Yonder River’s
shore. In addition, Aaron also found something unusual with the order for the LED advertisement on Century Bank Tower.

The advertisement was paid for in cash, which was not standard practice because people were generally unwilling to bring so
much cash for such a big advertisement. According to the staff there, a woman wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a mask came to
place the advertisement that day. She was very straightforward as she negotiated the time and the content before paying
everything in cash.
On that same night, there happened to be a record of Anya consuming a cup of coffee in the shopping mall just opposite the
Century Bank Tower.
Aaron hacked into the surveillance system of that cafe and retrieved all the surveillance from that day. Sure enough, he saw
Anya there. He then took out the section of the video where Anya was present and sent it to Corinne. The footage showed Anya
sitting alone by the window of the cafe as she watched the public confession of the LED display on the Century Bank Tower. That
unsettling smile she had was a far cry from her harmless demeanor in front of everyone.
It was obvious, then, that the confession was Anya’s doing to confuse the public and create the illusion that Jeremy was deeply
in love with her. She came prepared when she went back to the country, and a lot of things happened even though she had only
been back for a few days. Corinne decided that it was best to be more careful around Anya in the future.
