The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel 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."

"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!"
