Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1841 - Bab 1850

Sophia did the unimaginable after she forced a man who never hit a woman to shove her away so forcefully. Her irrationality took over, and she had gone past the point of no return. She could not bear to see them happily together after losing the one thing she held near and dear to her."I'll ruin you!"Just as Jeremy was checking to see if Corinne was hurt, Sophia took out what looked like a mineral water bottle from her pocket. Inside the bottle was an unknown liquid, which she tried to splash at Corinne as she unscrewed the bottle cap and screamed at Corinne. It was too late to evade the attack by the time Jeremy noticed it, and his only recourse was to wrap Corinne in his arms and form a human shield as he rolled down the stairs.The liquid Sophia spilled on the ground bubbled up in some sort of gas. Since her first attempt had failed, she rushed down the stairs with the remaining half bottle and splashed it at them. All of a sudden, a loud bang echoed in the stairwell as the doo

Corinne's chastising stopped Lucas from making any further remarks about Jeremy, but he did make a point to tease her, "You're quick to jump to his defense."Corinne snorted. "Well, he is my husband. Defending him is the right thing to do!"Corinne's animated response suggested that she was unharmed and that there was nothing for Lucas to worry about. "Fine. I'll praise him for his noble actions. Are you happy now?""That's more like it. Don't you make things difficult for him!" Corinne said.Lucas felt that he had been wrongly accused. "My dear sister, you overestimate me. I never will and never have made things difficult for him. If anything, he didn't even give me a chance to settle scores with him after what he did.""That can't be helped," Corinne said. "You still have a long way to go if you want to catch up to him."Lucas responded in exasperation, "Wow, how ungrateful of you. How could you care more about your man than your brother? Sigh, I won't argue with you about this

Corinne looked at Melinda and explained, "This is no longer about teaching Sophia a lesson. She tried to splash acid on me earlier. I wasn't hurt, but Jeremy got injured trying to protect me. The police have taken her into custody now."Melinda, Lilin, and Emily gasped in shock."How could she do such a thing?" Melinda asked in disbelief. Though she knew that Sophia had done plenty of extreme things before, attempting to splash acid on someone else was by far the worst.Lilin scoffed resentfully. "She's capable of anything because she's confident she can get away with anything! Dad has been pampering her since she was young, so this isn't that much of a shock."Concerned about her daughter and son-in-law, Emily asked, "Are you sure you're fine, Corinne?"Corinne sat beside Emily and assured her, "I'm not injured. Don't worry, Mom."Emily then turned her attention to Jeremy and said, "Where did the acid hit you? Please show it to me."Jeremy walked over and held up his arm. He th

Melinda knew her husband's character well, and convincing him to apologize would be an uphill battle. Nonetheless, she was determined to give it her best shot."You of all people should be aware that Sophia has been in the wrong for kidnapping Jeremy. He had a family, which Sophia destroyed by separating him from them. Whichever way you put it, our family owes them an apology. Apologizing to them is the least that we should do."Adam maintained a stern expression. "Let him settle scores with me if he wants. To hell if I'll apologize!"Melinda felt powerless, "What else am I supposed to say to convince you? Must you make both sides suffer? Em and I are best friends. You're putting me in a tight spot if you insist on your stubborn ways!"Adam remained silent as he was unable to let go of his ego.Lilin, who had been standing quietly to one side, approached them and made a clown face at her father. "Blah, blah, blah!"Adam was bewildered by her reaction and looked at her unhappily.

Melinda felt extremely embarrassed and bowed her head on behalf of her husband. "I know this isn't remotely enough, but I still hope you'll be more open to accept it. He acted out of desperation to protect his daughter, and I'll make sure he makes amends to you."Adam frowned when he saw Melinda bowing to someone younger than her. He was about to say something when Lilin intervened by holding his hand and persuading him to remain silent. Adam kept quiet, albeit reluctantly.Corinne keenly sensed what was going on. She maintained a stoic expression, accompanied by a somewhat ironic smile."I'm reminded of a saying, but I'm not sure if you've heard it before," Corinne remarked."And what's that?" Melinda asked, somewhat perplexed."The law wouldn't be necessary if apologies had any value."Melinda mumbled. "Oh..."Corinne then continued, "I understand that you're my mother's best friend, and you've been taking very good care of her all these years. Your relationship with her is so
