The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 589
Corinne said, “It’s Miss Anya.”
Sorry, she lied!
This was because she promised Sunny that she would not tell Lucas that it was Sunny who brought her in.
However, if she said no one brought her in, and she sneaked in on her own, not only was this explanation impossible to believe,
she might immediately get kicked out. Therefore, she could only lie that it was Anya who brought her in!
Only by mentioning Anya, Lucas would be helpless. Even if he was unhappy, he could never bring himself to reprimand his
precious sister!
‘It’s Anya who brought Corinne in?’ Lucas frowned.
It was as Corinne expected, Lucas would not blame Anya; and out of respect for his beloved. sister, he did not immediately get
someone to come chase her out.
Suddenly, Edmund rushed in. After giving it a thought, he saw where his employer was and immediately rushed over. “Mister
Lucas, there is a phone call for you. It’s urgent!”
Lucas impatiently shot a cold glance at Corine, then he held out his hand to accept the phone. from Edmund. “What? Found?
Where?”
Lucas said these short words in a clear-cut manner and quickly turned around to go to a quieter spot for the rest of the phone
call. He did not return after that.
Corinne listened to opera music alone for a bit in the banquet hall, and she also almost had the layout of the whole residence
observed. She stood up and wandered around, trying to see if she could find any clues to start her investigation regarding her
missing mother.
While wandering around, she saw an exceptionally huge piece of a family portrait done in oil painting at the residence. There
were a lot of people in the painting, about ten of them. Corrine did not know most of them, but she could only recognize Edgar,
Gertrude, her mother
and Maxwell, and Lucas, who looked to be almost around ten years of age.

She was also in it.
Only that at the time, she was still a baby being held in her mother’s arms.
Corinne would never be mistaken about the brushwork of this painting, it came from her mother’s hands. This was a family
portrait hand painted by her mother.
At that time, she was most probably a newborn, and she had a family and her mother by her side.
It is a pity that life was unpredictable. She did not know what exactly happened after that, but
her mother was accused as an indiscreet woman and was kicked out of the family. Her mother then had to flee with her when
she was still at a young age.
After that, she was also separated from her mother, and she has not seen her ever since!
There was one thing that Corinne did not quite understand-if her mother was wrongly accused by Riveras and kicked out of the
family, then why did she not go back to her family home? Why did she not leave Corinne with the Lovelaces, and instead
entrusted her to an old classmate who was not related to her by blood at all?
Whatever happened that year, there were too many suspicions, and however she thought about it there were too many things
that did not add up.
Suddenly, Corinne felt that there was something wrong. She quickly turned her head, and there was a hidden figure trying to run
off sneakily.
