Although Claire gave him 140 thousand dollars to take the risk and post the photo on his page, it was still a shock for Cecil when Sherman got so angry and wiped out his years of hard work.
Like that social media user said: this was considered lucky. After all, Cecil probably would not be able to handle it if the case truly went to court. After all, 140 thousand dollars would not even be enough to hire a lawyer.
Sherman's lawyers were on a different level. He even had a whole team of them! What did Cecil have? The measly 140 thousand dollars was not even enough to clean up his mess!
'That damn Claire! She told me I'd make big money if I posted the photo online, but look at the mess I'm in,' thought Cecil.
He spat on the ground in frustration.
Claire and her team were also closely monitoring the situation. She never expected Sherman to act so ruthlessly and leave her with no dignity at all.
[I think it's a publicity stunt by Claire. Otherwise, how could they take down this photo from everywhere so quickly?]
[Is Claire trying to pressure Sherman to go public with their relationship? If it was, then I must say that it's not looking good for her. She'll be known for this scandal before she's known for her dancing.]
Since they were not fans of Claire, they began to relentlessly mock Claire in the comment section.
"Claire, don't pay attention to what they say. They're just uncultured people. How could they possibly spend money to appreciate real art?" said Serena.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to leave me to deal with this alone? We're in this together, you need to understand that. Sherman doesn't know that you benefited from this as well. Even the locations were carefully planned by you. Do you think he'll still want to be with you after he finds out?"
Claire could hear the sound of Cecil lighting a cigarette on the other end of the phone. Cecil was acting like a complete thug.
"So what do you want? I've already given you seventy thousand dollars. After this is over, I'll give you another seventy thousand dollars. That's more than what normal people earn in a year! Plus, you should know that a hundred forty thousand dollars is more than what your skill is worth!"
Even if the photos he took were not worth that much, what did it matter? The most important thing was to deal with Sherman's legal team. "Just find me a good lawyer, or I'm going to tell Sherman about what you've done!"

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...
