The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1875

Therefore, Anya planned to snatch Joey back from Corinne. She believed that if the Holdens were willing to take in Joey, it meant they valued him. If she could regain control of Joey, they would also give her respect and benefits.

More importantly, she would be able to reconnect with Jeremy if she got Joey back. She was sure their former relationship would be rekindled.

Unfortunately, Joey turned out to be more fragile than she thought. He passed away quite easily after just a few kicks from her. She was pondering how to deal with his lifeless body when the sudden barking of dogs startled her.

Anya looked around and quickly ran down the mountain. She did not care whether those were stray dogs or wolves. What if they were hungry? They could just feast on Joey's body. All she had to do was to take the opportunity to escape.

Corinne and her group, who were following one of the police dogs, also quickened their pace to see what was happening up ahead.

At the sight of Joey lying on the ground, Corinne's world crumbled. She hurriedly crouched to touch his forehead and shake him.
