The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 392

Jeremy heard on numerous occasions that Corinne had a hard life in the past, but he never thought that they would treat her so terribly. As if having a stepmother and stepsister who treated her like that was bad enough, even her father did not seem to show any care for her.

Jeremy looked down at the indifferent little girl in his arms and felt his heart tense up. He could not imagine how much suffering she had to go through in the Carews as a child to be able to act so indifferently in such a situation.

After listening to the Carews’ ludicrous statements, a cynical smirk appeared on the corner of his lips. “Why should you switch places with her? The woman I wanted to marry has always been Corinne, not anyone else.”

Sherlyn did not believe it one bit. She felt that it was Corinne’s sweet talk and interference that made Jeremy confused.

“Mister Jeremy, how can Corinne be the woman you intended to marry? You can’t believe a thing she says because she’ll say all sorts of sweet words to win you over! The person you wanted to marry was me! I even received the engagement ring you sent me! Look!”

As she said that, she raised her hand to show him the diamond ring she had placed on her ring finger.

Jeremy looked at Sherlyn’s moderately -large diamond ring and had the most insipid and expressionless face ever.

Then, his rough palm reached out to grab Corinne’s small hand. He stroked her slender ring finger until, finally, his

rough fingertip landed on the diamond ring. Then, he held her hand up and waved it in front of the Carews.

“Sorry, but this is the Holdens’ special engagement ring. I’ve never seen yours before.”

Sherlyn frowned and was a little confused. Back then, the

person sent by the Holdens to give the dowry told his mother that a certain ‘Miss Carew’ had already accepted the diamond ring from Jeremy. During that period, a diamond ring was also sent anonymously to her.

‘Who else could the sender be if it wasn’t Jeremy? How could something so coincidental happen? It had to be Jeremy who wanted to marry me!’

Sherlyn was already becoming a little psychotic, and after thinking for a moment, she pointed at Corinne and insisted, “I know what happened! It was her! She stole the ring and switched it while I wasn’t paying attention! That’s how she managed to trick you of your trust and take my place!”

Jeremy’s eyes became gloomier, and he was disgusted at her as he said coldly, “The ring that Corinne is wearing is unique to the Holdens. It was forged using platinum and several other special materials, making it impossible to take off without a special liquid lubricant. How would she have stolen it from you if you couldn’t have taken it off when you put it on?”

Sherlyn could not have factored that into consideration, and she immediately felt dumbfounded.

“But… H-h-how…”

Jeremy took Corinne’s hand and caressed it like the most precious thing. “Besides, I put this ring on her when we got

engaged. Now, do you still think I’d mistake someone else for the person I wanted to marry?”

Sherlyn was astonished. ‘Engaged? Jeremy was engaged to Corinne?!’

She had her mind set on not believing a word of what Jeremy said and shook her head vigorously. “No! That can’t be! Mister Jeremy, why would a man with such noble status as you fall in love with a country girl like Corinne? A popular actress like me is obviously much more suited to become your wife!” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Jeremy cocked his eyebrow and looked emotionlessly at her. “I wonder where you got the impression that I’d ever fall in love with you.”

“Uh…”

Sherlyn lost her confidence, but she remained a little

dissatisfied. “If you can fall for a country girl like Corinne, why would you look down on someone like me? I don’t understand how I’m worse than Corinne.”

“Pffttt! Hahaha!” someone laughed.
