Chapter 833
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âWhat mother would harm her child? Besides, have you forgotten Iâve also drank the pomegranate
juice? Iâm fine, arenât I? Even if it was caused by the pomegranate juice, it must be because Sunny ate
something that was incompatible with it. I refuse to believe Mom has anything to do with this!â
Everything Anya said sounded logical. She even used the example of herself having drunk the
pomegranate juice, so Lucas found it impossible to point out any holes in her argument. His suspicion
of Phoebe did lessen somewhat after that.
Corinne chuckled softly. âMiss Anya, have you forgotten how you ran to the bathroom to throw up all
the pomegranate juice after drinking it?â
Anyaâs eyes flickered. She frowned and forced herself to suppress the rising anger inside of her before
she looked at Corinne pitifully.
âCorinne, Iâm starting to think you enjoy putting our family in a mess. Do you have proof that. I threw up
the pomegranate juice? Canât I go to the bathroom when I need to relieve myself? Why do you insist on
pushing the blame on my mom?â
Corinne listened calmly to Anyaâs retort. To be honest, she was actually impressed at how quickly Anya
could think on her feet and by her Oscar-worthy performance.
At that moment, Maxwell-who had been silent all those while-cleared his throat and said, Thatâs
enough! Keep your voices down in the hospital. Weâll know whatâs really going on when the test result
comes out!â
His words might be little, but they carried with them an undeniable authority. Hence, everyone fell silent
after that.
Anya and Phoebe exchanged glances, both of them tried to come up with the next step to get out of the
situation they brought upon themselves.
Corinne was in no rush to expose the mother-and-daughter duo. No bad deeds could be kept at secret
forever, so they could never escape.
Worried that the pregnant Corinne could not stand for too long, Jeremly led her to the chairs. not far
from the emergency ward. He then pushed her down lightly on the shoulder to make
her sit.
Jealousy immediately flowed out of Anyaâs eyes like poison gas when she saw that. Not happy at the
preferential treatment, Anya walked over to them and said tearfully, âJeremy, I know you like Corinne
and thatâs why youâll always take her side. But even so, how can you allow her to slander my mom like
that? You should do something about thisâ¦for my sake. I did save you in the past, didnât I?â
Jeremy glanced at her. He found himself a little moved. âSheâs right. She did save me, after all.â
âIâve been silent because I think we should wait until the test result comes out,â he said after a while.
Corinne watched their interaction quietly. âDoesnât Anya know any other trick than to emotionally
blackmail Jeremy with her savior act? Whatâs even more laughable is I was the one who saved Jeremy.
Iâve never seen such a shameless person as her⦠taking other peopleâs
credit and all. Ha!â
âJeremyâ¦â Anya reached out to tug at Jeremyâs sleeves. She had always been like this. Not daring to
hold his hand, she would instead pull his sleeves to get his attention.
However, this time she was stopped by Corinne, who wrapped her fingers around Anyaâs wrist. like
handcuffs. âMiss Anya, are you trying to molest my husband in front of everyone?â she asked with a
smirk.
Anyaâs face darkened. She tried to pull back her hand but could not.
âCorinne, what are you doing? Youâre hurting me⦠Ah! Jeremy, help me. Sheâs hurting me!â
