The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1475

It was just as Corinne expected—Sophia had been bidding against Lucas to artificially inflate the price!

The piece of land in Serenity Bay belonged to Sophia's father, so she pretended to be a patron to raise the price and bring in more profit for her family.

What she did was a big no-no in the world of auction.

"You can leave after putting the snacks there," ordered Sophia. She continued to sip her coffee without looking up as she thought it was a waitress who had come in.

It was not until she did not receive a response that she thought something was not right. Her eyes became as wide as saucers the moment she looked up.

"Corinne?! What are you doing here?"

Sophia's first reaction was shock and disgust, but those emotions were quickly replaced by guilt.

Fearing Corinne would bump into Benjamin and Jeremy, Sophia quickly looked behind Corinne to check if they were coming back.

"Miss Sophia, don't you think what you did was extremely despicable?" asked Corinne with a mocking smile.

Sophia frowned at being called despicable. "What did I do? Corinne, even if you're tired of being a spinster, it still doesn't give you the right to come barging in here to insult me."

Corinne stepped into the booth and closed the door softly.

"Your family owns that piece of land in Serenity Bay, no?" she asked.

Sophia's eyes darkened. "Why are you asking that? What does that have to do with you?"

"It has everything to do with me because I was the one who bid one billion dollars for it just now!"

'I'll deal with her after the auction is finished,' she thought.

Jeremy was just bringing 'Benjamin' back after Corinne left. They would have bumped into each other if Corinne had left a little later.

However, Corinne took the other way to go back to her private booth while Jeremy came back from the other direction. In the end, they missed each other again.

Even though Corinne did not see him, Benjamin did see her walking out angrily from Sophia's private booth.

He narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he could not take his eyes off her. Moreover, he felt a tightness in his chest as though his heartstrings were being pulled.

The real Bryan had also seen Corinne coming out of the private booth, but the only thing he could do was blink guiltily.

'Why did Mommy come out of that private booth? Did she go there to catch me?'
