The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 916

Chapter 916

Josephine's mother clutched her daughter's hand tightly. She cried pitifully, "Ma'am, we're from Westrise Village.

Josephine, my daughter here, and Corinne were in the same class in high school."

Corinne, sitting beside Pamela, was sipping her coffee. Hearing this, she looked at Josephine. 'She does look like one

of the girls in my class, but I don't think I was ever close to her.'

"So?" prompted Pamela.

"Corinne wasn't doing all that well in high school. She'd often skip class to hang out with the young thugs outside of

school," Josephine's mother continued.

Pamela frowned. She did not really believe the older woman's words. She turned to look at her sensible

granddaughter-in-law and thought, 'No

matter how I see it, Corinne doesn't look like someone who'd skip class.'

Corinne simply smiled as if she was listening to the funniest joke on earth and calmly sipping her coffee.

Josephine's mother added, "On the day of their SAT exams, my daughter arrived in class on time. She's the top

student in her year, and every teacher held her in high regard. But when it came to getting her results, there was

no record of her name in the system.

"We all thought it was weird, so we went to the school to ask for an explanation. But the school just gave US some

vague excuse to get US off their case. We couldn't do anything after that since we're just ordinary folks with no

power or connections. Thus, we resigned ourselves to fate, and my daughter didn't pursue her education after that.

She stayed back home to help us with the farm..."

Both the older woman and Josephine started to sob pitifully at this point in the story.

Pamela felt a little sympathetic to Josephine's misfortune, but the story did not seem complete. "But what does this

have to do with Corinne? Why did you come here to look for her?"

Josephine's mother raised her head and looked angrily at Pamela. "Of course it does. She's the one who used my

daughter's result to get into the University of New Capital City!"

Pamela was shocked. "What?! That's impossible!"

Josephine's mother wiped away her tears. "Ma'am, it was only recently that we found out Corinne didn't take her

SAT exams at all. She had a rich boyfriend then and, through her boyfriend's father's connection, managed to swap

her results with my daughter's so she could attend the best university in the country!

"Because of her, my poor daughter had no choice but to stay back and help the family with the farm. How can I just

sit by and do nothing when my poor daughter's bright future has been ripped out from under her very feet?! This is

her life we're talking about..."

Josephine's mother became so emotional that she clutched her daughter, and the two of them started sobbing

hysterically. It was a pitiful sight to see.

Pamela's face remained impassive. She was about to say something when Corinne placed her hand on top of hers.

Corinne smiled at her lightly before turning her attention back to the sobbing mother and daughter.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. Before I comment on whether what you told US is true or not, might I ask you a few questions

first?"
