The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Corinne had a nonchalant expression. “Yes, and no.”

Jeremy was still focused on his documents as he turned over a page. “So it is a yes or a no?”

“Zoey was the one who put up a video, but I recorded their conversation with the cell phone and added it later,” answered Corinne truthfully.

Jeremy snorted. “I brought you here to be a bridesmaid, but you ruined the bride’s wedding on your own accord. How do you plan to explain yourself?”

Corinne frowned. “To be honest with you, I know better than to meddle in your family’s affairs, but scumbags are the bane of society, and I am duty-bound to end their existence if I see one.”

Jeremy nearly let out a chuckle as he smirked. “I never took you for a self-styled vigilante.”

Corinne was filled with righteous anger. “That Juan guy cheated on Annie and even tried to cop a feel when we first met and shook hands earlier. That just shows how degraded that f*cktard’s general behavior is! I don’t think you’d want your niece to marry that kind of man, right?”

Jeremy glanced askance at her. “He ‘copped a feel?”

“Yeah! A sick pervert like him will never treat Annie well!”

“And just how did he do that?”

Corinne felt that Jeremy had completely missed her point, but she answered anyway. “Well, he pretended to shake hands politely with me, but he slyly stroked his finger against my palm.”

Jeremy’s dark eyes darkened, and he did not say another word.

When they arrived, Corinne got out of the car and walked into the yard on her own. Jeremy seemed to have a lot of work to do, so she did not wait for him since she figured he was probably not going to get off.

Tommy got out of the car and yelled for her to stop. “Miss Corinne! Please wait a moment.”

Corinne stopped and turned around. “Is there anything else?”

Tommy went to the rear compartment and took out a picture frame that was tightly wrapped in kraft paper. He walked over and handed it to her, saying, “Mister Jeremy won this painting for you at an auction as a token of you for saving his grandmother yesterday. Please take it.”

‘A painting he won at an auction? It could only be…’ Corinne’s mind went blank, and there was excitement in her eyes as she peeled off the kraft paper wrapping the frame and glanced at it. True enough, it was ‘Geese in

Late Autumn’!

Jeremy bought that painting at a high price as a thank-you gift for her! Had she known earlier, she would have continued to let Aaron drive up the bid. The auction house and the seller could have sold it for much
