The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 997

Corinne looked at Cedric's and Beatrice's kind appearance and recalled the disgust in their voices when she overheard them talking about Emily, her mother. Deep down, she viewed their comforting words to her with disdain. They probably would not be so kind to her if they knew she was the child of their former daughter-in-law.

Corinne withdrew her hand casually and smiled. "Thank you both for trusting me."

The punishment they gave Phoebe and Anya could hardly be called punishment. All they did was send them to the countryside summer home. 'What kind of punishment is that? It's more like a vacation to me!' All the comforts of life were provided there, and food was provided too. The most that Phoebe and Anya would suffer from was loneliness if they stayed there too long.

It was a far cry from the punishment the Riveras inflicted on her mother!

Corinne was smiling politely, but her gaze had hardened with bitterness. "By the way, there is one more thing I'd like to discuss with you two."

Beatrice said warmly, "Go ahead! We'll do our best for you if it's within our power!"

"Yes!" Cedric added, "Feel free to ask!"

Corinne had a faint smile as she said, "I hope you won't misunderstand, though. I'm not here to talk terms with the two of you because of what Anya and her mother did to slander me. I simply wish to discuss this issue with you."

Cedric exchanged glances with Beatrice. They did not know what Corinne wanted to discuss with them. However, they felt that Corinne was being much more polite and distant than usual.
