The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 686

Corinne wanted to ask the maid who just brought the coffee whether it was the blood from the chickens and ducks slaughtered by the kitchen staff. But when she looked up, she realized that the maid already walked away, and no other servants were waiting around. Corinne furrowed her brows in confusion, thinking about the pitiful child who was always manipulated by Anya. Could Anya have harmed that child again?

With this thought in mind, she stood up and followed the direction the maid went.

Corinne followed the maid until they reached the main kitchen of the Riveras. However, no servants were bustling about in the kitchen. The countertops were cleaned spotlessly, and there was no trace of any poultry being slaughtered.

If the blood on the coffee cup was not from a fowl, could it be human blood? Could it belong to that child?

What was even more peculiar was that the maid who entered ahead of them was now nowhere to be found, even though Corinne saw her enter first.

Corinne became increasingly suspicious of the situation in the kitchen. She cautiously looked around, and apart from the emptiness, there did not seem to be anything unusual.

Suddenly, her gaze inadvertently fell to the floor, and she saw red blood droplets on the kitchen floor. Not just one or two drops, but several droplets close together, suggesting that they were left behind by a bleeding person or animal passing through this area.

Corinne furrowed her brows in alertness and followed the direction indicated by the blood droplets. The droplets led to a tightly closed, somewhat old iron door at the far end of the kitchen.

She had a suspicion in her heart: Could the missing child be locked inside? Was there bloodshed? Murdered? Corinne felt shock but did not act rashly. This was the Riveras's residence, and there were some matters she could not directly intervene in. So she decided to call someone from the Riveras to come and investigate.
