The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 948

“I highly doubt the claims made against Corinne online. Besides, why would she orchestrate something like that

against me? I’m just an old man! Lucas gave her a check as a token of thanks for saving my life, but she never

thought of accepting it!”

Beatrice nodded to what her husband said. She had a good impression of Corinne from the first time they met,

though that was probably in large part due to Corinne’s similarity to their missing granddaughter, Luna.

In conclusion, neither of them believed Corinne to be the sort of evil person with bad intentions.

Phoebe frowned and shook her head after hearing Cedric’s defense of Corinne. “The two of you are being too

naive! She obviously wouldn’t take the money that Lucas offered her if she was motivated by something else!”

Cedric frowned, obviously a little wary of his stepdaughter-in-law’s claims. “Tell me, then. What would a young girl

like her be motivated by?”

Phoebe sighed and said, “The two of you might not have gone to the hospital when Sunny was hospitalized, but I’m

sure you would’ve heard about what happened there. Corinne claimed that she was the one who saved Jeremy, not

Anya! Jeremy even believed Corinne, and he now thinks Anya lied to him throughout the years.”

Cedric and Beatrice looked at each other.

The old man frowned and said, “We know what happened, but didn’t Anya lie about her infertility so that Jeremy

boy will take responsibility for her for the rest of her life? This is Anya’s fault entirely. It’s an utter embarrassment to

our family that she blackmailed him emotionally for so many years.

“In any case, we’ve never supported her proposed marriage to Jeremy, yet she stubbornly refused to listen to us.

As her mother, you went so far as to allow her to continue entertaining that idea despite knowing that our family

isn’t on good terms with the Holdens. You didn’t even make an effort to control her. Why are you blaming all that on

Corinne?”

Cedric might be old, but his mind was still sharp.

Phoebe’s expression became a little distorted when Cedric pointed out the cold, hard facts. She forced a smile and

said, “This isn’t about whether or not I can control her. It’s futile to try and control something that involves one’s

feelings!

“Lucas has spoiled her since she was young. He gives in to all her requests. Now that she’s all grown up and falls in

love with a man, she shows the same stubbornness and is willing to do whatever it takes to be his woman!

“As much as I want to control her, I can’t just force her to do as I say! But that being said, Anya did save Jeremy,

and she had been infertile for the past few years after saving him and being poisoned in the process.

“So many years have passed since then, and her body had recovered without her knowing! You’ve both seen her

grow up, so you should know her character by now. She may be stubborn in her desire to marry Jeremy, but she

will never twist the facts!

“Corinne, on the other hand, took Anya’s credit for what happened and convinced everyone that Anya had been

lying. Isn’t that worse?”
