The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 26

Jeremy was still focused on his documents as he turned over a page. “So it is a yes or a no?”

“Zoey was the one who put up a video, but I recorded their conversation with the cell phone and added it later,” answered Corinne truthfully.

Jeremy snorted. “I brought you here to be a bridesmaid, but you ruined the bride’s wedding on your own accord. How do you plan to explain yourself?”

Corinne frowned. “To be honest with you, I know better than to meddle in your family’s affairs, but scumbags are the bane of society, and I am duty-bound to end their existence if I see one.”

Jeremy nearly let out a chuckle as he smirked. “I never took you for a self-styled vigilante.”

Corinne was filled with righteous anger. “That Juan guy cheated on Annie and even tried to cop a feel when we first met and shook hands earlier. That just shows how degraded that f*cktard’s general behavior is! I don’t think you’d want your niece to marry that kind of man, right?”

Jeremy glanced askance at her. “He ‘copped a feel?”

“Yeah! A sick pervert like him will never treat Annie well!”
