The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312

Corinne smiled. “Oh? So you insist that they pursue this

matter until the end if I was the suspect, but now you’re telling me not to pursue it because your best friend is now the suspect? This is double standards of the highest order!”

Anya was a little embarrassed. “I… I never thought of pursuing the matter. It was my brother who couldn’t accept that

someone was out to hurt me, so he…”

Corinne’s hands were ironically still in handcuffs, and she leaned lazily on the chair as she said, “Sorry, Miss Anya, but I don’t want to listen to you talk anymore. Let’s leave it to the police to get to the bottom of the matter.”

Anya lowered her head, but she was still determined to plead on Rosie’s behalf. “I’m sorry, Corinne. It was our fault for blaming you, but Rosie is my best friend. I hope you find it in your heart to be more magnanimous…”

Corinne ignored Anya outright and glanced instead at the calm -looking Lucas just nearby. “You love your sister dearly, don’t you, Mister Lucas? I don’t think you’d be so magnanimous toward the real mastermind behind the scenes, right?”

Anya frowned, turned around to look at Lucas, and said. hurriedly, “Lucas, you know that it wasn’t Rosie’s intention to harm me. She did it for my good, but the way she did it wasn’t right…”

Corinne smiled. “Good to hear that.”

Rosie’s emotions collapsed on the spot after hearing Lucas’s statement, “It wasn’t me, Lucas! Corinne framed me! Please… You have to trust me…”

The police officers stepped forward and pressed the

uncooperative Rosie down on the table. They then handcuffed her forcibly and escorted her to the interrogation room. At the same time, Chris, his wife, and their son were taken to a separate interrogation room, and a serious investigation was conducted to verify the statements made.

Half an hour later, two police officers came in to uncuff Corinne. They then explained embarrassingly to her, “After our investigation, we’ve confirmed that Chris‘ statements were all true, and you weren’t involved in this case at all. We sincerely apologize for our oversight in handling the case and subjecting you to such harsh treatment when you were hospitalized with your severe allergies…”

After regaining her freedom, Corinne moved her

uncomfortable wrists and replied calmly, “Don’t worry about
