The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 861
Corinne slowly walked from Jeremy’s arms and stood in front of Anya. Crossing her arms nonchalantly, she said, “You’re right. I
don’t have physical evidence like the bracelet, but I have the same memory as Jeremy.”
Anya refused to give up. “It’s normal to miss a few details when the incident happened so long ago! I was the one who saved
Jeremy, not you! I might not have remembered the details, but I’m pretty sure you got lucky with the
guesses.
“I remember everything now. I only brought Jeremy a roll of bun every day because I didn’t want my family to find out I’d been
sneaking out. And from what I know, you didn’t even live in the town near the mountain at the time Jeremy was hurt. There’s no
way a little girl like you back then could’ve gone somewhere so far away from home, so this just proves that you’re lying.”
Corinne smiled. “Miss Anya, you’re a stubborn one, aren’t you? Well, let me tell you
everything that happened back then. I was brought up in a covenant, and Mother Cathrina, the nun who took me in, brought me
to the mountain to collect herbs that year. Thus, the two of us stayed with the locals for a while back then.
“One day, I got separated from Mother Cathrina, so I had to make my way back to the local’s. house. On the way down the
mountain, I heard someone coughing in the bushes, and that was where I found the injured Jeremy. Fortunately, I’ve learned
some homeopathy from Mother Cathrina and knew how to tend to venomous snake bites, so I sucked out the venom and
wrapped Jeremy’s wound with some bandage and herbal medicine. Then, I’d bring him a roll of bun and some water from my
flash every day.
“At first, I thought Jeremy lost both of his ability to see and speak from the snake venom since he wouldn’t talk to me no matter
what I say to him. Until one day, I must’ve gained his trust, since he said thank you to me for the first time. It was only then I
found out he could speak. after all.
“If you ask me why I only brought him a roll of bun every day... Well, it was because Mother Cathrina observes a strict
vegetarian diet, so buns like that made up most of our diet. I shared with him what I had.
“You, Miss Anya, grew up surrounded by luxury. Surely it’d be hard-pressed to find a plain roll of bun like that in your house.
Since you said you were the one who saved Jeremy... Tell me, Miss Anya, where did you find something like that to give him?”
“I...” Anya could not come up with an answer at all.

‘Why that sneaky little b*tch! It took her no time to find the holes in my story...’ she thought.
“I... I don’t remember... I did grow up surrounded by luxury, but our family would sometimes. eat plain buns as well... Besides, I
was a kid then. I just grabbed whatever I could find...’
Anya tried to bluff her way out of it again.
Jeremy walked up to Corinne and placed his hand lightly on her shoulder. That was as good as letting everybody know whose
side he was on.
He looked at Anya coldly and said, “Miss Anya, you still won’t admit you lied about saving me?
When faced with Jeremy, Anya immediately turned on a damsel in distress act. “Jeremy, I... I have the bracelet you gave me... I
was the one who saved you...”
“I didn’t give you the bracelet in person. The man I gave the order had made a mistake, and I’ll punish him accordingly.”
Anya’s heart went cold, and she quickly turned on the waterworks. “Jeremy... I...”
Corinne was annoyed by her tears. “Miss Anya, stop crying now. That won’t work anymore. Not only did you pretend to be the
girl who saved Jeremy all these years, but you even lied about your infertility issue to emotionally blackmail him into loving you!
You’re one of the most despicable people I’ve ever met in my life!”
