Corinne walked up to Pamela. She held her by the arm and shook her head resolutely. "Grandma, he's not my father."
"Then why did they come to find you? Do you need me to handle this?" asked Pamela worriedly.
Corinne was touched by Pamela's attentiveness. She smiled and shook her head again. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take care of this myself. You've only just finished dinner, so it's best you go back inside to take a rest."
She then turned to look at Francine. "Francine, bring Grandma in with you. Don't let her worry, you hear?"
Surprisingly, Francine simply nodded and led Pamela into the mansion by the elbow.
Pamela was still worried about Corinne but decided not to say anything since she insisted she could handle it herself.
"Ma'am, wait! We are Corinne's family. This ingrate cut ties with us after marrying into your family!" shouted Sherlyn.
Pamela paused in her tracks.
Seeing this, Lilliana quickly added, "Ma'am, we are Corinne's family—honest! Otherwise, why would we come here to find her? She broke off contact with us ever since marrying into your family 'cause she thinks we're too poor! Ma'am, I can tell you're a fair woman, and I'm pretty sure a prominent family like yours will never accept an ingrate as a granddaughter-in-law, right?"
After that, she nudged Marvin to get him to say something as well.
Marvin's expression faltered in guilt. He was silent for a while before answering, "Ma'am, something happened, and I was left with no choice but to find her. People from my old hometown came crying to me after they found out what Corinne did to them a few years back. You see, I had no choice but to bring them here."
Corinne frowned. 'What I did to them? What did I ever do to them? Why do I have no recollection of that at all?'
Pamela finally turned and looked sternly at Marvin. "Mister Carew, you better explain just what Corinne did to make you and your family come all the way here to kick up a fuss!"
Marvin sighed. "It's a long story. It'll be quicker if you ask the accusers to explain it themselves." He then turned to the old red sports car and said, "You ladies can come out now."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
