The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 740
“I’ll send you the restaurant location later. All you need to do now is to work hard at your job, replied Corinne and before Jeremy
could say anything, she had already hung up the phone.
The reason Corinne ended the call so quickly was because Francine had just come back from outside and was standing in front
of her and glaring at her vehemently. Corinne did not want to worry Jeremy with what was going on at home so she was left with
no choice but to hang up the phone.
Corinne was unfazed by the way Francine was glaring at her. She curled her lips into a nonchalant smile and asked, “Why are
you back? Didn’t you say you’re going to Anya’s place to hang out?”
Francine crossed her arms haughtily before sitting down on the sofa. “What I do is none of your business!”
Corinne let out a lazy yawn and said, “You’re right. It is none of my business but I should warn you, stay away from Anya. She’s
a bad influence on you.”
Francine really liked Anya from the bottom of her heart since the two of them went way back. In fact, the latter had bribed the
former with sweets and whatnots ever since they were young so it was only natural that Francine would wish Anya to be her
sister–in–law.
When she heard Corinne telling her to stay away from Anya, she thought Corinne was jealous of Anya so she simply rolled her
eyes and said, “Corinne, what right do you have to tell me what to do? Who do you think you are? I like hanging out with Anya
‘cause she’s a thousand times better than you and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and said solemnly, “You ask me who do I think I am? Well, I’m your sister–in–law, that’s who! I have
the responsibility to discipline you on behalf of your brother. This includes forbidding you from being friends with people who are
a bad influence on you!”
In the first three months Corinne and Jeremy were together, they only saw each other as business partners so Corinne did not
feel like it was her responsibility to care about anything that went on in his family.
However, the situation had changed. She really had every intention to spend the rest of her life with Jeremy so she felt like she
had the responsibility to teach the spoiled Francine how to be a decent human being. Otherwise, there might be a chance that
Anya would use Francine as a means to get rid of her if she did not nip their friendship in the bud.

Hearing what Corinne said made Francine rolled her eyes so hard that one would think she had become possessed by an evil
spirit. “Don’t make me laugh, Corinne! What makes you think I’ll ever listen to you? Surely you’ve overestimated yourself.”
Corinne chuckled lightly as she slowly got up from the sofa. Then, without warning, she shot to where Francine was sitting,
twisted her arm to the bac, and pinned her down on the sofa. Francine yelped out in pain. “Corinne, what the h*ll are you doing?
Let go of me!” she said fearfully.
“Now do you still think I’ve overestimated myself?” Corinne whispered into Francine’s ear.
Enduring the pain that was shooting through her arm, Francine looked vehemently at Corinne from the corner of her eyes and
said, “Tsk! So what if you’re strong? My bet is you wouldn’t dare to hit me at all!”
“I won’t hit you, that’s true. But it’s not because I’m scared. It’s just that it ain’t fun hitting an idiot like you,” said Corinne with a
smile. After that, she let go of her grip on Francine. Francine stood up and shook her arm up and down to ease the pain. “Who
are you calling an idiot! If anything, you’re the idiot here!”
Instead of offering her a retort, Corinne simply turned around and ordered the old butler, Bowen, you can ask all the servants to
take the rest of the day off after lunch is served ‘cause Miss Francine here had oh–so–graciously offered to all the housework
today.”
“Umm... forgive me Ma’am but... I don’t...” Bowen was so confused that he did not know what to say.
Francine glared at Corinne vehemently. “Corinne, have you gone insane? When did I ever offer to do that?!”
Corinned looked back at Francine with a raised eyebrow. “What’s wrong, Francine? I’m just abiding by what you said this
morning when you barged into my room. If I remember correctly, you said your family would not suffer any lazy woman in this
household so what’s so wrong with asking you to do the housework today? Besides, it’s not like I’m going to do the housework
since I have your brother’s protection so I won’t be cast out of the house even if I do nothing all day but eat and sleep.”
