The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 770

Corinne cut Anya off with a yawn and said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself. Joey's adopted, so he's not your son in the biological sense. And from what I heard, you were the one who begged Jeremy to adopt that kid with you, and you also promised he wouldn't have to do anything else after that.

"You should take up all the responsibility when that kid is concerned. Isn't it enough for you that Jeremy, out of the kindness in his heart, had been helping you to take care of Joey all this time? I mean, he had every right to ignore your pleas for help. I should warn you, Miss Anya, you're not entitled to any of Jeremy's help, and if you think you are…then you should do some self-reflection."

Knowing that she could not win an argument against Corinne, Anya resorted to using her signature act. "But Corinne, I just…just wanted Jeremy to check on poor Joey. Why do you insist on making me out to be the bad guy here?" she asked tearfully.

Corinne smilingly stepped forward and roughly lifted Anya's tear-stained chin. "I'm making you out to be the bad guy? Is that what you think I'm doing when I'm only teaching you how to be a decent human being? Well, let me make something clear to you: From now on, don't you dare bother Jeremy again, or else—don't blame me for beating you up, you homewrecker!"

Corinne's threatening aura flowed from her fingertips and engulfed Anya in a second, causing her to shrink back in fear. "How can you…call me that? I'm not a homewrecker!" cried Anya pitifully.

Corinne jerked Anya's chin higher. "Only I, Jeremy's wife, have the right to say whether or not you're a homewrecker. Like I said, don't blame me for beating you up if you ever show your face around Jeremy again."

After that, she released her grip with such force that Anya's face swung to the side.

Ignoring Corinne, Anya turned her tear-streaked face toward Jeremy, who stood behind Corinne. "Jeremy, I think it's best if I give you back this bracelet 'cause it seems like Corinne really doesn't like me. I promise I won't bother you again, and I hope the two of you get to live happily ever after."
