The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1846

Corinne looked at Melinda and explained, "This is no longer about teaching Sophia a lesson. She tried to splash acid on me earlier. I wasn't hurt, but Jeremy got injured trying to protect me. The police have taken her into custody now."

Melinda, Lilin, and Emily gasped in shock.

"How could she do such a thing?" Melinda asked in disbelief. Though she knew that Sophia had done plenty of extreme things before, attempting to splash acid on someone else was by far the worst.

Lilin scoffed resentfully. "She's capable of anything because she's confident she can get away with anything! Dad has been pampering her since she was young, so this isn't that much of a shock."

Concerned about her daughter and son-in-law, Emily asked, "Are you sure you're fine, Corinne?"

Corinne sat beside Emily and assured her, "I'm not injured. Don't worry, Mom."

Emily then turned her attention to Jeremy and said, "Where did the acid hit you? Please show it to me."

Jeremy walked over and held up his arm. He then reassured Emily, "It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine."

Melinda wiped her tears and sighed before leaving with Lilin. Corinne had mixed emotions as she watched Melinda leave.

Inside the ward, Emily shook her head and sighed. "Melinda has had it pretty rough the past few years. Trying to control her stepdaughter is difficult, as you've seen, and her husband tends to make the wrong decisions most of the time too."

Corinne turned to her mother and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom. We'll only hold Adam and Sophia accountable for everything. Aunt Melinda and Lilin won't be implicated in this."

Emily nodded in understanding, but she still felt heartbroken for her friend, Melinda. Corinne and Jeremy's approach to the issues was reasonable, but Melinda would feel distressed if anything were to happen to Adam. Then again, it was not like Emily could tell Corinne to just forgive the people who had ruined her life and harmed them.
