The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 624
Anya was seated in her wheelchair and smiling sinisterly and smugly. It was a good thing Lucas brought her to this hospital. If
not she would not have seen Jeremy and Corinne going into the OB-GYN department together.
Thus, she bribed the OB-GYN specialist to tamper with the blood test result because she knew Jeremy would not pay any
attention to her and Joey anymore once he found out Corinne was pregnant with his kid. No way was she going to let that
happen!
Jeremy must think Corinne is a loose woman after finding out the baby she’s carrying isn’t his. He’ll stop thinking about her now.
Ha! You failed to steal Jeremy away from me this time, Corinne Carew.”
Suddenly, Rosie’s voice came from behind her. “Anya, why did you come here without telling me?”
Anya turned her wheelchair around and beamed an innocent smile at Rosie. “Oh, I came out to get some fresh air ’cause I was
feeling a little suffocated in the ward How’s my brother, Rosie?”
Rosie frowned with sadness at the thought of Lucas’s injuries. She could not bear to see someone she loved getting hurt like
that.
“The doctor put him in a cast. He said there is some minor bone breakage that would require him to take some bedrest for a
while. Edmund is currently taking care of him as we speak ”
Anya pretended to sigh sadly and said, “I hope he won’t suffer any after-effects from this. It never crossed my mind that Jeremy
would fight with Lucas because of Corinne.”
At the mention of ‘Corinne the instigator’, Rosie could not help but grit her teeth in hatred.
*Jeremy always respected Lucas so the fact that he would start a fight with him must be because Corinne said something to
drive a wedge between them. That Corinne is nothing but a menace! The more Rosie thought about her, the angrier she got.
How she wished she could strangle that woman there and then!
As usual, Anya put on her weak and helpless act. “I also think Corinne went too far this time. She caused both Jeremy and
Lucas to get hurt! I wonder if Jeremy is okay? Did he go to see a doctor?”

“And you too, Anya! Don’t forget you’re in a wheelchair because of her too! Trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes.
She’s just bad luck! Just wait! I swear I’m going to get someone to get rid of her once
and for all,” said Rosie angrily.
Anya secretly smiled when she saw Rosie getting all riled up about Corinne. Yes, this is exactly what I -want. I hope this stupid
woman gets rid of Corinne quickly so I don’t have to do it myself. This way I can
keep my hands clean so no one will ever suspect me.”
However, she had good reason to be very afraid after witnessing what happened in the Lovelaces today. The three of them –
Anya, Lucas, and Rosie – were chatting in the guest room when a knock suddenly came from the door but before any one of
them could open it, Jeremy barged in with a bang, grabbed Lucas by the collar, and punched him in the face.
Lucas, who was punched for no reason, became blinded by anger, and without even thinking about it, he punched Jeremy back.
Thus, the two men ended up in an all-out brawl. They were evenly matched in strength and both of them sustained quite several
injuries.
Even though the two families did not get along, they always maintained the basic etiquette on the surface. Therefore, nothing as
unseemly as a big fistfight ever occurred between the two families.
Everything happened so fast that it shocked Anya and Rosie. They quickly called Edmund over to break up the fight.
Lucas wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips and stared at Jeremy contemptuously. “You dare to betray my sister and
raise your fist against me for a wild girl who dumped you? Jeremy, have you gone insane?”
Jeremy’s eyes were as cold as ice. “You do well to remember that no matter what she did, you’re not. allowed to touch Corinne!
You and the whole Rivera Group would die by my hands if you dare to so much as look at her wrong!”
After that, he got up, straightened his tie, and cracked his neck. He then walked out of the room without even looking back at
anyone, leaving the shocked girls and injured Lucas in his wake.
Anya always knew Corinne was important to Jeremy but it was only then she realized just how important she was to him. ‘Did he
lose his cool and rush over her just to avenge her?”

Thus, it was easy to see why Anya was jealous of Corinne and why she wanted her dead. ‘I must get rid of her as soon as
possible! she thought.
