The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1038

Corinne could still feel Jeremy trembling slightly. 'Seems like he's still traumatized by what happened…'

In some twisted way, she felt rather touched as no one ever cared that much about her before. After Emily went missing, Corinne was treated worse than a stray by the people who were supposed to take care of her.

"Mister, what would you do if I truly died back there?"

Phoebe, who was in the apartment, had settled down with a sheet mask on her face as she awaited good news from Anya. She thought their plan would work for sure this time, so she was understandably surprised when she received the news of Anya's arrest.

'Lucas, Mom, and Dad all knew about Anya's arrest, yet they did nothing about it? Does that mean they've given up on her? Oh no, what should I do?! What should I do?!'

She never expected Corinne would fake her death to trick Anya into exposing her true self.

Phoebe kept pacing around in circles until the sound of her phone ringing brought her back to the present. She thought she had found the answer to her problem when she saw it was Sunny calling.

'That's right. I still have Sunny! He can help me get Anya out!'

She quickly answered her phone. "Sunny!"

"Mom, where are you now?" asked Sunny raspily.
