Chapter 825
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Corinne shook her head. âOf course Iâll forgive you, Miss Phoebe. But I just think you, as an elder,
shouldnât have to atone for anything to me, a junior. In fact, itâll be very insensible of me to accept your
atonement.â
Phoebeâs lips twitched slightly as she mentally cursed Corinne for being a fake b*tch, but she quickly
squeezed out a warm smile and said, âOh alright, I take back what I said. Just think of this juice as me
wanting to give you a little treat. Howâs that?â
To that, Corinne raised her glass. âSure! Donât mind if I do, then.â
Phoebe nodded. âGo ahead! Give it a try, and let me know what you think.â
Corinne slowly put the glass to her lips, making Phoebe wish she would just hurry when all of a
sudden, Corinne paused. She then turned to look at Anya with a raise of her eyebrow.
âBefore I drink this juice, I would like to thank Miss Anya properly,â she said with a polite smile.
Anya was just like her mother, too excited for Corinne to drink the juice, so she was understandably
stunned when Corinne mentioned her name.
âUmm, what do you have to thank me for, Corinne?â she asked, chuckling drily.
Phoebe was just as confused as Anya. She frowned impatiently and wondered, âWhy wonât this b*tch
just drink the d*mn juice?â
Everyone else at the dinner table waited respectfully for Corinne to say what she had to say, while
Lucas turned to look at Corinne with confusion.
Being Anya and Corinneâs brother, he had witnessed the grudges his two sisters held toward each
other. He would be happy if Corinne was willing to forgive him and Anya, but he could not figure out
why she would want to suddenly thank Anya.
Under everyoneâs watchful gaze, Corinne said sincerely, âThank you, Miss Anya, for patiently showing
me around this wonderful house of your family. You were so kind to take time out of your busy schedule
and even leave your kid for the nanny to take care of, just so you can show me each of the rooms
here.â
Corinneâs words sounded like a sarcastic jab to Anya, leaving her to wonder whether or not she should
smile. âSheâs definitely implying I donât look after my kid even though I have so much time on my hands.
D*mn you and your sneaky attacks, Corinne!â
However, Anya had a few tricks up her sleeve as well. She beamed happily and said, âOh, youâre too
kind, Corinne. You are Grandpaâs savior! Not to mention you came all the way here, so Iâm just doing
what any good hostess wouldâve done.â
Corinne nodded, smiled, and raised her glass. âMiss Anya, I raise this glass to you. Thank you your
hospitality!â
for Anya was not about to be overshadowed by her. She stood up, picked up her wine glass, and raised
it to Corinne too.
âNo, I should be the one raising my glass to you. Thank you for saving my Grandpaâs life.â
She then downed the whole glass as a show of her âsincerityâ, and also for Corinne to quickly
drink her pomegranate juice too.
