The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 864
“Lucas! Lucas...!”
Anya collapsed onto the floor and kept crying. ‘Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! It’s all over for me!’
The ‘good girl’ image she so painstakingly built over the years was destroyed in an instant by Corinne. She was out of ideas as
even Lucas turned his back on her, too!
Phoebe started to panic when she saw her daughter, who everyone used to pamper, was rebuked by everyone. Her heart broke
when she saw how hard Lucas slapped Anya.
She looked unhappily at Maxwell. “Say something, Maxwell! Didn’t you just see how Lucas slapped Anya? As their father,
shouldn’t you do something about it?!!
Maxwell sat there calmly. His face had lost its youthfulness, but in return, he looked like he gained a certain acceptance of life.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is all karma, so you have no one else to blame but yourself.”
Phoebe’s face paled. “Maxwell! How can you talk like this about me and Anya? Haven’t I always given the best to your family?
What have I done for you to treat me so harshly?”
Maxwell did not want to waste his breath on her anymore. He looked down to compose himself. ‘Is it just me, or does Corinne
really look like Emily?’
Phoebe could not contain her outburst anymore. “I’m talking to you, Maxwell! Why won’t you even look at me? Why do you
always treat me like I don’t exist? Even if you don’t like me, you should at least be a good father to Anya!”
Anya had lost all of Lucas’ trust and love, so she was hoping her father would at least speak up for her.
“Dad! Don’t tell me you don’t believe me too. You mustn’t believe Corinne. That evil woman planned all of this...”
“That’s enough!” shouted Sunny, who was leaning weakly against the headboard. He had never taken that tone or attitude with
Phoebe or Anya before.
Anya was startled. “Sunny, you...”

“Sunny, why did you shout like that? You almost scared Anya to death!” lectured Phoebe unhappily.
At that moment, Sunny was beyond incensed. He was disgusted and resentful of how unrepentant both Phoebe and Anya
seemed to be. As hard as he found it hard to accept that his mother and sister had become the kind of people he hated the most
in the world, he had no choice but to face them.
“All of you, get out! I need some peace and quiet to think! I’ll die from all your crying and shouting even if the internal bleeding
doesn’t kill me!”
