The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1040

Sunny wiped away his tears with his arm and said chokingly, "But Mom, you should hear all the mean things she said about me, Lucas, Rosie, Francine, and even Jeremy! Not to mention, all the bad things she did over the years.

"I used to think she was the kindest and sweetest person in the world and that she deserved all the happiness in the world. That was why I hated Corinne so much 'cause she stole Jeremy away from Anya. That was why I kept causing trouble for her.

"So you can't blame me for saying Anya got what she deserved! She took advantage of our love and trust for her and hurt so many people in the past. She only has herself to blame. Neither I nor you can help her at this point!

"I came here to find you to convince you to go along with Grandpa's arrangement. Go live in the summer villa, and take the time to do some self-reflection. You can come back once Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad have cooled down. But you should really give up the idea of getting Anya out. She needs to pay for all the bad things she has done."

Phoebe could not believe her last hope would say such things. She pointed angrily at him and shouted, "You useless brat! Is this how you repay your sister and your mother after all the effort we've spent in securing your future in the family?!

"Not only are you dumb, but you have no ambition at all! You and Lucas are both Riveras, so you have as much right as he does to take over the family business! Are you going to let him take away what rightfully belongs to you? Are you that stupid, huh, Sunny?!"

Sunny frowned. "Mom, not only is Lucas the eldest son in the family, but he's also talented in many things. It's only right for him to take over the family business. Besides, I have no interest whatsoever in taking over the family business nor do I want to fight him for it. And even if I did fight him for it, I'll lose. Stop hoping for the impossible. I'll never fight Lucas for the right to take over the business."

Phoebe rolled her eyes in anger. "You useless piece of sh*t! I regret ever giving birth to you! I'll have you know I used to be the belle of the school, and countless men have asked me to be their girlfriend! But to your father, I'll never be as good as that wh*re of his ex-wife. Now, even my son isn't as good as her son! Oh, why!? What's the point of giving birth if you're only going to turn out hopeless?!"
