All Chapters of The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Chapter 971 - Chapter 980

Jeremy's eyes darkened. "Corinne doesn't want to accept you as her brother. Even if she does, I'll never allow her to do that!"Lucas frowned. "Why? Is it because you're afraid the bad blood between our families will affect your relationship with Corinne?""Nothing can ever affect my relationship with Corinne. But, if she accepts your family as hers, it'll make her position awkward in my family. I can protect her when I'm with her, but it's not like I can bring her along wherever I go."Plus, I know her; she won't like for me to do that too. Given how hard her life was when she was young, I think it's best if we don't add any more trouble for her. It's not wrong to keep the status quo too, you know."After mulling over it, Lucas concluded that what Jeremy said was reasonable. "I'm all for keeping the status quo for now, but I won't stand by and do nothing if you hurt you."Jeremy drank a mouthful of the soda before saying confidently, "That'll never happen."After a while, Edmund

Aaron put his hands under his cheeks. "But I've always been very innocent."Xante pretended to puke. Suddenly, she saw what was happening outside the car from the corner of her eyes. "Boss, Josephine and her mother are here," she said solemnly.Corinne looked out the window and saw Josephine and her mother surrounded by the reporters.Josephine and her mother kept to their version of the story whenever the reporters asked them any questions regarding the scandal. Also, they announced confidently that Josephine would come out as the winner today.In fact, Josephine had changed. She was no longer the timid girl who only knew how to cry at the smallest provocation. She was fielding the questions confidently as though she had already won the competition.Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "She looks confident. According to our research, she was an average student at school. There's a chance she might cheat on the test."Corinne nodded. "Well, let's just see how she plans to pul

People were still fighting in the comment section while the high-school teacher was marking the paper.[Josephine must be the one who's telling the truth since she was the one who handed in her paper first!][Yeah! Corinne looks like she only handed in her paper because she started to panic after Josephine handed in hers.][So what if she handed in her paper too? The most important thing is to get the answers right.][Look, everyone. Corinne's slumping her head on the table. Is she sleeping?! Is this all a joke to her?][I have a classmate exactly like her. He always scores the worst in all of our tests. The only thing he knows how to do is to sleep in class. You can't blame us for thinking Corinne is the one who's lying!][Y'all must've not met a real straight-A student. Don't you know they're not the nerds we think they are? A real straight A-student is the type of person who can sleep through the class and still get really good grades!][Haha! As if! I'll never believe there'

Back at the press conference, a reporter asked, "Miss Corinne, Miss Josephine, do you have anything to say for yourself now that we can't find out for sure who it was that got into the University of New Capital City since the competition ended in a draw?"Josephine quickly put up her hand, and the host passed her the microphone."I think I should be crowned as the winner as I turned in the test paper first," said Josephine with a slight accent. "And also because I answered all the questions based on all the knowledge I gained in high school. In the time that Corinne was studying at the University of New Capital City, I was working on my family's farm, yet she handed in the test paper later than me."The reporters all nodded along to what she said. They felt she must be telling the truth since she defended herself so confidently."Miss Josephine is right. Straight-A students are always the first to hand in their test papers since they go through the questions very fast.""Yeah, I t

Josephine started to panic a little. "A… A retest?"Corinne nodded. "Yeah. We should do a retest since this one ended up in a draw. I'm sure everyone was hoping there will be a clear winner in today's competition. Don't you think so?"Josephine's gaze started to dart around. "Umm… I…"At that moment, Josephine's mother ran up to the stage. "Don't be a sore loser, Corinne!"Corinne smiled. "But I didn't lose. We both got perfect scores.""Even so, everyone seems to think my daughter is the clear winner. You say you want to do a retest again? How? It takes time for the teacher to come up with the test paper, so it's not like you and Josephine can take another test immediately."Corinne smiled. "I didn't say we need the teacher to come up with another set of questions. We can just use the ones who did before."Josephine's mother was caught off guard by her answer. She had no idea where Corinne was going with this. "Then what's the point of doing the retest? The two of you will just
