The Day I Kissed An Older Man – Chapter 21

Chapter 21

“SI*t!” Zoey cursed angrily, her face full of envy.

Corinne had no intention of arguing with Zoey at someone else’s wedding, so she turned and went to the bathroom. By the time she came out, she inadvertently saw a man and a woman chatting at the end of the corridor. Before long, they both sneaked into the storage room together.

If her eyes did not deceive her, the man was none other than Annie’s groom, Juan. The woman, on the other hand, was Zoey, wearing a bridesmaid dress the same color as Corinne’s own.

What could a groom possibly be doing with a bridesmaid on his wedding day?

Inside the storage room:

“You’re heartless, Juan! How could you get married behind my back!” Zoey exclaimed.

“Why are you here, Zoey?” Juan replied calmly.

“I’m one of the bridesmaids! I didn’t think the groom would be you! No wonder you haven’t been answering my calls recently!”

“Zoey, I’ve got thirty thousand inside this card. Let’s just treat it as a fee for our breakup! Once you’re done with your bridesmaid duties, make sure to leave without causing any trouble!”

Zoey took the card. “Thirty thousand? Who are you kidding? If you want to break up, you need to give at least a hundred and fifty thousand!”

Juan grew annoyed. “A hundred and fifty thousand? Don’t push your luck, Zoey! I can only give you thirty thousand. Take it or leave it, and don’t blame me if I ask the security guards to kick you out!”

Corinne, listening to their quarrel from outside the room, finally realized why Juan felt so familiar.

Juan had gone to Alpha Enterprises to pick Zoey up before, and since Zoey liked showing off, she flaunted Juan around the company as her handsome boyfriend.

Annie, on the other hand, had been in a three-year-long relationship with Juan, deeply in love with him. Underneath his gentle persona, however, Juan was a cheater, and poor Annie was completely blind to it.

Corinne lowered her gaze, expressionless. Annie was Jeremy’s niece, and there was no reason for her to meddle in the private affairs of Jeremy’s relatives. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

The wedding soon began, accompanied by the classic and romantic “Wedding March.”

Annie walked down the red carpet toward the man she firmly believed would be her life partner.

Below the stage, Zeke nudged Jeremy’s elbow and asked with a smile, “Where’s that little girl you married just a few days ago? Why didn’t you bring her with you?”

Jeremy remained silent, eyes fixed on the stage, where the blue-clad Corinne was standing.

Tommy spoke on Jeremy’s behalf. “She’s here, Mister Zeke.”

“Here?” Zeke looked around. “Where? Why don’t I see her anywhere?”

Tommy pointed to the stage. “She’s up there.”

Zeke glanced at the stage, where the only women aside from the bride, Annie, were the four bridesmaids. “Which one’s her?”

He had only ever seen Corinne in heavy makeup or covered in a veil, never in her true appearance.

Meanwhile, the big screen on stage was showing snapshots of the bride and groom’s happy moments together. The officiant was asking the bride to recite her marriage vows…

All of a sudden, the video on the big screen abruptly changed to a surveillance video, showing Juan dragging a woman in a bridesmaid dress into the storage room in the corridor.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
