It was only then Jeremy sat on the new chair. Failing to get a reply from Corinne, he rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly before taking out an anonymous letter from his suit pocket.
The anonymous letter was delivered through the crack of the door by a stranger who kept their face hidden. The security guard immediately alerted Jeremy of the existence of the letter when he found it because it was addressed to him. What was even more unsettling was there were a few drops of blood on the letter.
Jeremy ripped open the letter and read the printed words.
[I already know what's most important to you. You work in the light while I work in the dark. Just how long do you think you can guard against me? This will be your last chance to give me an answer that can satisfy me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless because you'll surely come to regret it. It's our hope that you won't push us to the edge, dearest eldest brother!]
He crumpled up the letter and threw it into the trash can after he finished reading it. He then put his hands behind his head and leaned against his desk to get some shut-eye.
'A person becomes vulnerable when they have something to lose. That's why many people live in fear of losing the people or things they love the most,' thought Jeremy.
After a while, he sat back up and called Tommy. "Tommy, how's the investigation going?"
"We're still going through the surveillance footage. It's taking some time as more people came to the company than usual."
"Look into anyone who's even remotely suspicious. We must find the culprit before Corinne gives birth."
"Yes, Mister Jeremy!"

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...
