The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 700

Lucas was at a loss for words. He could not make sense of the logic behind all this, but to him, of Corinne’s previous actions lacked logic as well. For example, her sudden appearance at the Riveras‘ job interview, or her presence at his grandfather’s birthday banquet without. any reason. Moreover, both Anya and the maid witnessed Corinne’s actions firsthand. Could it be fake?

“I know why Corinne made such an effort to save Joey, Lucas,” interjected Anya.

As everyone turned to look, they saw Anya, with red eyes, walking in from outside.

She planned to accompany Joey to the hospital with the medical staff, but because the child had an extreme reaction as soon as he saw her, the medical staff advised her to stay behind, and she had to come back.

Lucas frowned when he saw her returning alone and asked, “Why didn’t you go to the hospital? Where’s Joey?”

Anya walked to her brother’s side, wiped away her tears, and said, “Edmund is with Joey at the hospital, so I feel relieved. We can go to the hospital later to see Joey together. Now, I want to see the mastermind who hurt Joey brought to justice. Otherwise, as a mother, I’ll feel too guilty and won’t be able to face my child…”

She choked up again as she spoke, evoking sympathy from those present.

After being advised against going in the ambulance, Anya calmed down a lot. She thought for a moment and came up with a plan.

With Joey already taken away by the ambulance and temporarily unable to reveal anything detrimental, this was the time to firmly establish Corinne’s intentional homicide charge. They would deal with the child at the hospital later.

Children were easier to handle; there were ways to prevent them from talking nonsense.

The maid quickly stepped forward and spoke up for her boss. “Yes, officer! I saw it, too. It was Corinne who used a chisel to hit Miss Anya’s child! It was her!”

The officers nodded. “Miss Anya, we have understood the situation you described. We’ll definitely bring the perpetrator to justice and give you an explanation.”

Then, the officers sternly looked at Corinne. “Corinne Carew, if you have anything to defend yourself with, you can say it at the police station. Now, come with us!”

Corinne did not resist being taken away by the police, but Jeremy would not allow her to move an inch.

Jeremy held the girl’s shoulder and applied a slight force, preventing her from moving.

Looking at the officers, the man’s gaze was dominant and indifferent. “If you want to take her away, have your chief call me first.”
