The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Lilliana and Sherlyn were both shocked by their arrival. They looked at Cedric and Beatrice in confusion.
Even though Anya was not shocked, she felt like her world was shattering. She looked at them both feebly. “Grandpa, Grandma,
I... I don’t know them, and... I have no idea what they were talking about! Corinne must’ve paid them off to frame me like this...”
Corinne walked into the living room, too. “Miss Anya, the proof is right here. There’s no use trying to get your way out of this,”
she said with a chuckle.
Anya glared at her with hatred, but she was unable to offer up a retort.
Phoebe walked into the living room to defend her daughter. “Anya is right, you know! One of these women is your stepmother,
and the other is your sister. It’s only natural they’d do anything to help you!”
Corinne glanced at Phoebe before turning to Lilliana and Sherlyn. Then, she snorted as though she had heard a cold joke. “Miss
Phoebe, do they look like they’d help me? Didn’t you hear what they said?”
Phoebe knew this, but she was trying everything she could to save Anya. “You must’ve told them to say that in advance. You
were the one who asked them to come here, so you must’ve told them what to say! Why, Corinne, you leave nothing up to
chance when it comes to framing my daughter, huh?”
Corinne did not want to waste her breath arguing with a person who could not see reason, so she turned to the two elderly
people and their grandson. “Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, Mister Lucas, you all heard what my stepmother and sister said
to Miss Anya, right? It is up to you who to believe. Though, I’m pretty sure you’ve got a clear answer in your heart.”
Lilliana and Sherlyn knew they were in deep sh*t as soon as Corinne appeared in the living room. They started to panic while
trying to think of a way to salvage the hole they had dug for themselves and Anya.
“Uh... Sorry, but we’ve gotten the wrong person! We don’t know Miss Anya at all. Corinne was the one who told us to come
here,” said Lilliana quickly.
Sherlyn nodded rapidly. “Yes! Corinne was the one who told us to come here to frame Miss Anya.”
Everyone—Anya, Phoebe, Cedric, Beatrice, and Lucas—in the room was speechless. ‘Oh my god, just how stupid can these two
women be?’ they thought.

Phoebe’s argument might have worked if Lilliana and Sherlyn did not change their tune under pressure, but at this rate, it just
looked comical.
The air inside the living room thickened with tension.
Frowning deeply, Cedric and Beatrice looked at the unrepentant Phoebe and Anya. They could not help but think how unlucky
they were to have such a disgrace in their family.
After a while, Beatrice walked up to Corinne and held her hand. “You have my deepest apologies, Corinne. It’s our fault for not
raising Anya properly. You wouldn’t have to suffer like this if we had taught her how to be a decent human being.”
Corinne shook her head. “Please don’t apologize to me, Grandma Beatrice. This isn’t your fault.”
