Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 981 - Bab 990

The minutes ticked by. When it was time to hand in the paper an hour and a half later, it seemed that Josephine still had not finished writing. To ensure fairness, the host went to tell her the time was up, and she had no choice but to hand in her paper to him. She then looked nervously at her mother.After the host collected Josephine's paper, he invited the teacher to come up to the stage to mark both papers again. This time, it did not take him long to tally up each candidate's score.The host's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the result.He then announced the result to everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. I have in my hand both Miss Corinne's and Miss Josephine's retest scores. And just like last time, Miss Corinne got a perfect score! Unfortunately, Miss Josephine was unable to finish the test in the given period, but the parts that she did earned her a score of…two points! For only one True or False question, she got correct!"Everyone present broke o

Faced with the reporters' relentless criticism, Josephine's mother finally could not take it anymore. She blew up in their faces and started cursing while hysterically headbutting the reporters blocking her way.After breaking through the crowd, she ran up the stage from the left to grab Josephine before running off the stage from the right to make their escape.Seeing this, some of the reporters started chasing after them while the rest stayed behind to interview Corinne."Miss Corinne, they've escaped. Do you have any plans to sue them?""You should sue them! Make them pay for spreading all those rumors about you.""And you should request a public apology too! Not to mention compensation for reputational damage."Corinne remained seated at her table with one elbow propping up her face. "Forget it. They're just pawns in someone else's game. Plus, where are they going to find the money to compensate me for my reputational damage? You see, there's no need to waste my time on suing

Both Phoebe and Anya turned pale at Cedric's interrogation."Umm… Dad, what makes you think we'll do something like that? You were the one who liaised with the teacher who came up with the test paper, and we never had contact with him. How can we steal the test paper?"Anya nodded. "She's right, Grandpa. We'd never do something like that."Cedric scoffed at them. "Is that so? Would you never do something like that? Are you telling me Josephine and her mother snuck into our house and hacked into my email account to steal the test paper? Tell me something: Do you think I'm that stupid, or do you think our house security system is only for show?"Phoebe blinked profusely in panic. "Dad, why… Why do you insist someone has stolen the test paper from you? Has Corinne said something to you?""If no one stole the test paper, how could Josephine get a perfect score on the first test, but only two points on her second test?" asked Cedric angrily. "It's obvious she had the answer memorized f

Phoebe panicked even more when she realized begging was not going to work on Maxwell."I bet you're secretly hoping I would stay at the summer villa forever so you can fool around with other women."Maxwell frowned. "You're talking nonsense. Besides, you reap what you sow."Phoebe threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "Hahaha! You're the most hypocritical of us all, Maxwell! You haven't touched me in so many years. In fact, we don't even sleep in the same bed anymore. There's no way you've been celibate all this while. You must have a side chick outside, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, Maxwell Rivera: I'm not Emily. Don't even think you'll be able to get rid of me that easily!"Cedric blew his top when he heard what Phoebe said, already at the end of his patience. "You there, " he called out to the servants, "pack up their things and drive them to the summer villa." Then to Phoebe, he boomed, "How dare you speak so rudely in front of me? Is there no respect in t

Corinne smiled. "Well, the press conference has ended, so I thought I'd drop by to wrap up a few things with Miss Anya and Miss Phoebe. Though, it seems like I've come at a bad time. Should I…come again another day?"Beatrice quickly waved for her to come in. "Oh, Corinne, you're always welcome here. Come in, come in! My husband and son were just having a little tiff, and I was just worried that you might've been frightened by it."Corinne walked over to Beatrice and glanced at Cedric, who was still fuming, before looking up at Maxwell, who was at the stairs."Mister Maxwell, you're a grown man. You shouldn't argue with Grandpa Cedric so much. It's really not that nice."Normally, Maxwell would simply go into his room even when there was a guest in the house. Because it was Corinne this time, he walked back into the living room.Maxwell looked at her kindly. "You must be tired after the test. Why not go home to rest now? I saw you dozing off at the press conference. Did you not sl
