The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1479

"What?! It's that d*mn woman again?!"

Francine immediately became angry when she heard that. She always hated Sophia, but the fact that Sophia was pulling some shady sh*t behind their backs again made her want to punch her even more!

'God, why is that woman everywhere? Isn't it enough that she caused Jeremy to go missing, and she's now back to cause more trouble for Corinne? Ugh! I should've gone to the auction to give her a piece of my mind,' thought Francine.

She would have punched Sophia in the face to quell the anger inside of her if she had seen her at the auction house.

At that moment, Corinne was so tired that she wished she could fall asleep forever. For some reason, she felt more easily tired than before.

Usually, she had more energy than that. Maybe it was because she used up too much brain power during the car ride back home to figure out what Lucas was hiding from her. After all, his behavior was too unusual for comfort.

'Based on his reaction, his talk with the person in charge must not have gone well. If not, he wouldn't look so grim. But then again, surely the auction house wouldn't dare to cross someone with his status and power… So what else could it be to make him act so weird?' wondered Corinne.

Seeing Corinne lost in thought with a frown, Francine put down Christine and told the girl to go play by herself before sitting next to Corinne.

"Chill, Corinne. It's not like we must have that piece of land. There's plenty more land in the city that's way better than Sophia's land. We can even buy up the whole city if we want!" said Francine.

Corinne simply smiled at how naive Francine could be sometimes.

"I'm bound to get that piece of land. Plus, it's not up to us to decide now since the auction house has the final say. They can take us to court if we don't pay up."

Francine frowned. "Ugh! I can't help but feel sick to the stomach at the thought of Sophia getting away with ripping us off. It's not like we don't have the money to pay her, but I just don't want her to get richer from this! God, I hate her so much."

"Don't worry. I'm not going to let her get away with it. I'm not that easy to deal with too, you know."

Francine had faith in Corinne's ability, so she nodded and said, "I know you have a way to handle this, so cheer up! Let's go eat the barbecue ribs Grandma cooked for us."
