The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 865
Phoebe and Anya were shocked by Sunny yelling at them.
Maxwell simply got up calmly and picked up his jacket that hung from the back of the chair. Get well soon, Sunny. Press the call
button if you need anything, and a nurse will come for you.
He then walked toward the door, and on his way there, he said to Phoebe, “You should let your son rest if you want him to get
better.”
He was out of the door by the time he said the last word.
Phoebe frowned. With Anya having lost Lucas’ trust, Sunny was Phoebe’s only hope to stay in the family. Thus, she dared not
provoke Sunny anymore, and she quickly dragged Anya out with her.
Maxwell was nowhere to be found once the two of them got out of the room. Instead, they saw the bodyguards Lucas arranged
to stand guard by Sunny’s door.
A wave of exhaustion washed over Anya as she finally calmed down. She slumped down on the chair and said anxiously, “What
should we do now? Even Lucas doesn’t believe me anymore! And I’m pretty sure Jeremy won’t want to see me again...not after
he found out I wasn’t the girl who saved him.”
Phoebe did not know what to do either; her mind was all over the place. “That Corinne had certainly bested us...”
“I’m lost too, Anya. It’ll be awkward for the two of us from now on. Your grandparents had never liked me... Think of how they’ll
punish me once they find out about the pomegranate juice.”
“Is that the only thing we can do? Wait for them to punish us? No! I’ve always done whatever you wanted me to do ever since
you married into the Rivera family. I worked hard to build up my image of a good girl and impersonated Luna to make Grandpa
and Grandma like me... I’m not going to let what happened today derail all of the success I had gotten. More importantly, I’m not
going to let Corinne steal Jeremy away from me... Ten years! Ten years I spent trying to get Jeremy to love me...”
Phoebe sided entirely with Anya. “Don’t act rashly. Think, Anya! Does Corinne have any weakness we can use against her?”
After thinking it over, Anya shook her head. “That b*tch doesn’t seem to have any weakness. She doesn’t have any friends or
family we can threaten. Having grown up wild in the countryside means she can do whatever she wants without worrying her

actions will bring harm to others. That’s why she was able to escape the trap I set up for her and turn it all on me repeatedly.”
The wheels in Phoebe’s mind started to turn. “She grew up in the countryside, eh? Do you know where exactly?”
Anya shook her head. “No, but it shouldn’t be hard to find out. We can send someone to look into the matter. Why do you want to
know, though?”
“It stands to reason we can’t find any weakness of hers in New Capital City since she didn’t
grow up here...but what if we look into where she used to live? I mean, everyone has some kind of past they wish to hide. And
even if she doesn’t, we can just make something up,” Phoebe replied thoughtfully.
Anya’s reddened eyes immediately lit up. “Are you saying...”
Phoebe nodded. “Anya, we may not be able to turn things around with the Riveras, but what if we change our tactics? Since we
couldn’t overthrow Corinne’s argument today based on how logical it sounded, we can get the people in her past to doubt her
and accuse her of being a liar. This would indirectly invalidate all of the things she said today!”
Anya began to fill with renewed hope. “What a great idea! We should get our men to carry out the plan right away! Oooh,
Corinne. Just wait! I’m going to make you pay if it’s the last thing I do! And this time, I’m going to make sure you won’t ever be
able to come back from it!”
