Chapter 960
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âThe allegations must be true since you donât have any proof to say otherwise. Anya was just trying to
do something kind for Josephine and her mother anonymously. That was why she asked your
stepmother to be the middle person!â
Corinne was so impressed by Phoebeâs quick wit to turn the tables around that she nearly clapped for
her. âPhoebe might be shameless, but she sure is quick-witted!â
âI might not have any proof, but I have this!â Corinne casually tapped on her temple.
No one knew what she was talking about.
Phoebe frowned. âWhat do you mean? Is this another trick of yours? Well, you should give it up now!â
Corinne crossed her arms nonchalantly. âJosephine and her mother kept saying I couldnât have gotten
into University of New Capital City with my grade, given how I always skipped class. Well, why donât
Josephine and I compete in a test where the whole thing will be broadcasted live?â
Anya knew all the things Josephine and her mother said were fake and that it was Lilliana who taught
them to say that. There was a very high chance their lies would be exposed if Corinne were to compete
in a test against Josephine. Thus, she squeezed her motherâs hand, signaling to find a way to stop
Corinneâs idea from moving forward.
Phoebe, of course, knew what Anya was worried about. Thus, she said, âThat girl had no choice but to
earn a living by farming after you stole her university spot from her. She mustâve forgotten all that she
learned in high school already! You, on the other hand, received the best education in the country, yet
you want to compete in a test with her? Do you seriously think thatâs fair?â
âDonât worry, Miss Phoebe. The test wonât be that hard. Itâll be on the most basic subject knowledge.
Iâm sure a true straight-A student like Josephine wonât forget something so simply just because she
makes her living by farming. I mean, wouldnât it have been difficult for her to get into the University of
New Capital City if she had such a bad memory?â
Corinne knew Anya and Phoebe were trying to stop the test from happening, so she decided not to ask
for their opinions on the idea anymore. Instead, she turned to the two elderly people and asked,
âGrandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, do you think my idea is fair?â
Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other. They both agreed that it was fair for Corinne
to do so. âCorinneâs right. A true straight A-student wouldnât have forgotten all that she learned so
easily.â
Cedric nodded. âI think thatâs a perfect idea, Corinne.â
Beatrice nodded too. âYes, I think so too.â
Phoebe could not do anything to stop Corinne as both Cedric and Beatrice had spoken.
âThen, might I trouble you to arrange for the test, Grandpa Cedric? Iâm worried that Miss Phoebe and
Miss Anya will suspect me of cheating if I come up with the test questions. This way, itâll save us all the
time to say whoâs right and whoâs wrong again,â said Corinne.
âOf course, Corinne. Donât worry. You can leave that to me,â said Cedric authoritatively.
âThank you, Grandpa Cedric,â said Corinne with a polite smile. Then, she looked at Phoebe and Anya.
âIâll give Josephine three days to study. Three days later, Iâll hold a press conference where the test will
be broadcast live. Iâll admit to all the allegations online if Josephine gets a higher score than me. If she
doesnât, then that just proves all the allegations she and her mother are spreading online are untrue!â
Both Phoebe and Anya glared at Corinne and tried to suppress their objections.
Just when Corinne was prepared to leave the place, she suddenly remembered something. âBy the
way, I donât have Josephine or her motherâs contact, so please pass the message to them for me, Miss
Anya.â
She shrugged and said politely, âGrandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, Mister Lucas, Iâll be off now.
Please remember to watch the live broadcast of the test three days later. Goodbye.â
Corinne walked out of the entrance when both Cedric and Beatrice called out her name at the same
time.
âCorinne!â
She heard them, but she did not stop walking.
