The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne smiled and remained seated where she was. She then picked up a glass of water among the expensive-looking
tableware and drank from it.
“What on earth are you doing? I asked you to get up! How dare you drink from the water on the table? What is wrong with you
tutors nowadays? Don’t they teach you any manners anymore? Do you think you can do anything just because you’ve finished
tutoring my son? If you don’t get up now, I’m going to fire you!”
She then grabbed Corinne roughly by the elbow to pull her up from the chair.
“Phoebe Stewart, watch who you’re talking to!”
Startled, Phoebe turned to see Cedric, being supported by Lucas, and Beatrice supported by Anya. The person who shouted at
her was none other than Cedric.
“But, Dad! I was just trying to show this tutor her place,” said Phoebe.
Both Cedric and Beatrice frowned while Lucas’ eyes darkened. Phoebe could sense she had said something wrong, but she
could not tell what it was.
Anya frowned and said unhappily, “Mom, what are you doing? Let go of Corinne now! Don’t you know she’s Grandpa’s savior?”
‘What?!’ Phoebe was so shocked that her eyes nearly popped out. She looked at Corinne in disbelief. “So she... She’s the
one...”
She suddenly realized both the tutor and Corinne had the same surname! ‘Why this sneaky little b*tch! No wonder Anya couldn’t
get rid of her... Even I fell for her trick’
Phoebe immediately tittered awkwardly to defuse the situation. “Well, excuse me. I didn’t know she was the person who saved
you. I thought she was Sunny’s tutor.”
Lucas led Cedric to the head of the table before walking over to Corinne. “Why didn’t you say anything? Did she scare you?”
Corinne would have said that she was fine any other day, but this was not one of those times. After all, she would not be her
mother’s daughter if she did not teach Phoebe the homewrecker a lesson.
Thus, she lowered her eyes and pretended to be frightened. “Mister Lucas, I was just sitting here and drinking some water when
this lady suddenly grabbed my elbow and screamed at me. She even went as far as to say I had no right to sit here...”

It looked like it was not only Phoebe and Anya who knew how to play the victim. Corinne rarely used this trick, but she thought
she might as well use it now to let them have a taste of their own medicine.
Lucas felt like he had to make up for lost time with Corinne, and seeing her getting hurt by Phoebe made his heart ache even
more. He glared at her and said, “Aunt Phoebe, you shouldn’t have scared our guest like that. Apologize to her now!”
Phoebe was stunned. ‘What?! Wasn’t it enough for me to say ‘excuse me’? And what the hell is he thinking, ordering me around
like this in front of everyone?’
After Anya led Beatrice to her seat, she came over to help her mother. “Lucas, I’m sure Mom didn’t do it on purpose. Didn’t she
explain herself?
Besides, Corinne’s not the type to hold a grudge.” Then, turning to Corinne, she asked, “Corinne, you’re not going to make my
mom apologize to you, right?”
Corinne glanced at Anya and pretended not to have heard her.
Lucas stood his ground. “No matter who it is, they’ll have to apologize to Corinne for scaring her! She’s our important guest!”
Anya’s face darkened. ‘Why isn’t my usual trick working on him? He didn’t use to be like this!’
