The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1847

Melinda and Lilin hurried to the hotel, where Adam had just received news of Sophia's arrest. He was getting ready to head out and bail his eldest daughter out of jail, but Melinda and Lilin reached just in time to block the doorway.

Adam was startled to see Melinda. "Why are you here? Was your best friend already discharged from the hospital? But never mind that for now. I have some matters to handle right now. I'll be back soon, and I'll explain everything later. You can wait here with Lilin in the meantime!"

Melinda frowned. "And where are you going? Are you thinking of bailing out your daughter?"

"How do you know about that?" Adam asked. He turned to Melinda and stared at her in surprise.

Melinda snorted, "Why are you even thinking of bailing her out when she committed something so heinous? She'll never learn from her mistakes if you keep doing this, and she'll grow even bolder in the future!"

Adam frowned and said, "Don't be like that, Mel. Sophia might be stubborn, but her attitude isn't as extreme as you're making her out to be. Corinne must've set her up! I have to bail her out."

Melinda sighed helplessly. "Set up? How on earth do you justify that? Your daughter tried to splash a bottle of acid on Corinne! Acid, for goodness' sake! She did it with the clear intention of harming Corinne. Who in the right mind would want to save her? If you bail her out now, she might take it a step further next time and resort to killing people!"

Adam was left speechless. "But..."

"Listen to me," Melinda interrupted, grabbing his arm. "Let her face the consequences of her actions. Let her bear the price of her wrongdoing so she'll finally learn her lesson. You can't keep indulging her like this! Spoil her any further and things will lead to disaster!"

Melinda then continued, "Now that Zachary has returned, I'm pretty sure he'll want to settle scores with you and Sophia for everything that he went through in the past three years. You need to be mentally prepared."

"Hmph," Adam snorted. "So be it. I'm not afraid of him!"

Melinda looked at her husband with a touch of sympathy, "Zachary is no longer someone you could manipulate. He's the Holdens' scion, and he has what it takes to deal with you! You and Sophia have done some very terrible things to them, and it would be best if you take the initiative to apologize before they come looking for us. Corinne is my savior, and also Em's long-lost daughter. She might be willing to forgive us for Em's sake."

Adam raised an eyebrow, "You want me to apologize to them?"
