The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 690
Corinne raised her gaze calmly. “I’m innocent, why should I admit to anything?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes darkly. “If it wasn’t you, then why were you holding the murder weapon?”
Corinne lifted the chisel in her hand. “Are you talking about this? Miss Anya forcefully gave it to me, saying it was for self-
defense!”
Lucas found her unreasonable. “Corinne, don’t you find these words you’re saying laughable?”
Corinne’s expression remained calm. “I’m speaking the truth. If you find the truth laughable, then it’s your problem, Mister Lucas.”
Lucas’s face darkened, believing that her current attitude was not only an attempt to escape blame but also a challenge to their
family’s authority.
“Corinne, I’ll give you another chance to confess. I can still let you bear the consequences of your actions. Otherwise, I’ll make
your whole family pay!”
Corinne looked at him unperturbed, feeling a tinge of irony and amusement in her heart.
Make her whole family pay?
Does this so-called ‘whole family’ refer to those with blood ties?
If so, then this Mister Lucas would probably be the first to die!
If it doesn’t refer to blood relations, it doesn’t matter even more. She doesn’t have any so-called family, to begin with.
“Whatever.”
The word softly spoken by Corinne left Lucas shocked and bewildered.
She doesn’t care about implicating her own family?
Does that mean there’s no one she cares about in this world?

Anya, taking advantage of her brother’s position, choked up and questioned, “Corinne, are you suggesting that I handed you the
murder weapon to kill our precious Joey?”
Corinne glanced at Anya. “As for what I mean, Miss Anya should know better than anyone.”
Anya cried with a grievance, “I don’t understand! How could I comprehend your baseless words? Corinne, not only do you refuse
to admit your guilt, but you also slander me as an accomplice. I am Joey’s mother! How could I help someone else harm my
child?”
Corinne looked at her disdainfully, “Miss Anya, crying loudly won’t deceive everyone! This chisel was handed to me by you! At
that time, you claimed to suspect that your son, Joey, was being held hostage in this storage room, and you couldn’t open the
door no matter what.”
“You asked me to help open that door, I believed your words and was afraid that rashly opening the door would enrage the
person inside and harm the child, so I advised you not to act recklessly.”
“Then, you handed me this chisel, saying I should hold it for self-defense since you didn’t have the strength to carry it. And then,
you suddenly went crazy and directly opened the door of this storage room that you claimed couldn’t be opened, and your son
fell out from inside.”
“From beginning to end, I never even touched him. I think no one knows better than you, Miss Anya, what exactly happened to
your son!”
Anya wore a face of unjust accusation and indignation, “Corinne, aren’t you guilty of telling such lies? Doesn’t your conscience
ache? When did I say those things to you? Stop making up stories!”
Who is it that lies without guilt? Who is it that doesn’t feel pain in their conscience?
Huh, the thief accuses others of being a thief!
Corinne glanced at Anya and felt disgusted.
Anya did not finish yet and pretended to wipe away her tears, turning to the man beside her who did not speak for a long time
and said, “Jeremy, I know that all the kindness you’ve shown me over the years was because I once saved your life. I’m not
asking you to repay the debt of saving my life now. I only beg your to help us seek justice for Joey. He can’t be unjustly killed like
this.”
