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.

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...
