The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 608
Anya-sitting in her wheelchair-dug her nails into her palms angrily when she saw Corinne following Edgar to the study.
At that moment, Sunny stepped out from the crowd and asked in confusion, “Anya, why are you in a wheelchair? Rosie, what
happened?”
Afraid of being asked to check his homework by Lucas, Sunny had been hiding in the family room playing games with his
cousins, and by the time he came out, a crowd had already gathered. Not knowing what happened, he immediately went up to
see.
Rosie was still angry about the whole thing. “That b*tch Corinne pushed Anya down the stair, causing her to twist her ankle. I
wonder who’s the b*stard who brought her to this party!”
Sunny frowned in disbelief. “That’s not possible. Rosie, you shouldn’t speak nonsense! Corinne would never do something like
that.”
Anya snapped out of her trance and looked up vehemently at Sunny upon hearing his response. The pain in her heart
intensified, and there was an unprecedented look of gloominess in her eyes.
Sunny had never seen her looking like that, so he was suddenly at a loss for what to do. “Anya, what’s wrong?”
“Sunny, I wasn’t speaking nonsense! I saw what happened with my own two eyes. It’s not like I was just pulling things out of thin
air in a bid to frame Corinne,” said Rosie angrily.
Sunny was not in agreement with her. “Rosie, you do know you’ve framed her before, right? I don’t even understand why you
keep on bullying her. What did she ever do to you to deserve such treatment from you?”
Rosie nearly choked with anger. “Sunny, why don’t you just admit you’ve been brainwashed by Corinne!”
A look of unhappiness flashed across Sunny’s face.
“No, I’m not brainwashed by her! I just think that she’s not the type of person to do something like this. Besides, why would she
push Anya down the stairs right in front of your face?
If Corinne really wanted to hurt Anya, she would’ve done it when no one was looking. No one would be that stupid enough to
leave a witness. There must be a misunderstanding... Just like all the

misunderstandings you had with her previously,”
Stumped, there was nothing more Rosie wished she could do than to knock him on the head.
“Why, Sunny, you little...”
Anya was at a point where she was about to burst into a tirade, but she did not want to lose control in front of so many people.
Instead, she forced herself to calm down.
That’s enough, Rosie. Let him be. Be mindful of the guests here... We wouldn’t want to end up becoming the laughingstock of
the party, would we? Let’s go back to the guest room.”
Rosie was the one who came up with the plan to humiliate Corinne, though she never expected that Anya would be the one who
ended up being humiliated. Feeling guilty, she quickly said, “Yes, of course. I’ll push you back to the guest room now.”
She then started pushing Anya’s wheelchair, but she suddenly stopped when she saw Corinne and Edgar returning from the
study. Rosie and Anya looked toward Corinne, wondering what Edgar could have possibly talked to her about because it took
them no time to return.
At that moment, Edgar led Corinne to the stage. He smiled at the confused guests and announced, “My honored friends and
family, thank you for coming to my birthday party. I would like to take this opportunity to announce some good news to you all.
“Miss Corinne, the lady standing right beside me here, will be a member of the Lovelace family from now on. My wife and I have
already accepted her as our honorary granddaughter.”
Gasps and the sound of awe rippled throughout the room. No one saw that coming at all.
After they had quietened down, a thunderous applause followed, and each guest congratulated Edgar and Corinne.
Everyone there knew Edgar and Gertrude had never gotten over the pain of losing their daughter and granddaughter, so it was
good for them to take Corinne, who seemed to make them happy, as their honorary granddaughter.
