Marvin got out of the front passenger seat and rushed over angrily to where Corinne and the others were.
As usual, he did not get a grasp of the situation before scolding her, "Corinne, how can you live your life as a wealthy man's wife so carefreely when you caused so much suffering for others? I regret ever taking you in!"
Lilliana also got down from the car. She looked at Corinne smugly.
Corinne was unfazed by their arrival. She simply said calmly, "Uncle Marvin, can you explain to me what you meant by that? Just what suffering did I cause to others to make you come running here to accuse me like this?"
Marvin pointed at her angrily. "Don't play dumb with me, you ingrate! I should've beaten you to death when I had the chance to spare myself from the disgrace you brought to the family!"
'Ingrate? How laughable for him to call me that when he's never raised me. All he had ever done was to feed me a few times before leaving me with his relatives in the countryside,' thought Corinne.
While she was grateful that he took her in when her mother asked him to, she repaid whatever debt she had. 'How dare they accuse me like that when they should be grateful I didn't pursue all the abuse they heaped upon me when I was little?'
Francine stood with her arms on her hips and threatened, "Who do you think you are?! You better speak nicely, or I'll get someone to kick you off our property!"
Before Jeremy followed Greg into his room, he turned and gave Francine a look. She knew that was his way of asking her to keep an eye on Corinne. For Jeremy's sake, she could not hold back her anger the moment she saw someone shouting at Corinne.
Marvin's expression darkened at being scolded by someone much younger than him. However, he did not dare offend Francine since she was from a powerful family.

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...
