The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1005

"But then I got to know about Anya's existence. After that, I realized every time you came to cause trouble for me, it was because of Anya. She's good at taking advantage of other people's love for her to make them do her bidding. Also, I'm guessing she told you she'll put in a good word for you to Lucas so you and him will marry, and that you're the only sister-in-law she'll ever accept?"

Rosie stepped back. "How… How did you know?"

Corinne smiled. "It's obvious you like Lucas, so she used that to her advantage. That's why she lied to you, saying he's the father of the baby I'm carrying. She was hoping by doing so, you'd get rid of me in a fit of jealousy."

Through Corinne's explanation, everything started to make sense to Rosie. However, the truth was not always pretty, so she found herself on the edge of breaking down.

"A… Anya has…been using me all this time?"

Anya was Rosie's best friend. They grew up together and would even wear the same outfits every day. Not only that, but they would go to dance lessons and even study abroad together too.

Being born into a family that favored sons over daughters, Rosie always envied Anya, who was the apple of her family's eyes. Not to mention, ever since she became best friends with her, her status in the family rose considerably. After all, not only was Anya the golden child in her family, but she was also Jeremy's savior.

To get on the Holdens' good side, Rosie's parents and grandparents started treating her better. They would buy her presents and hold an extravagant birthday party for her, just to invite Anya and Jeremy over to socialize with them.
