The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1315

Marcus assumed Holden Group must have exerted pressure on the media companies to stop them from covering Jeremy's death.

"Someone must've set him up! Why else would he go to an abandoned factory?" sobbed Annie.

"Did he go alone?" asked Marcus.

"His right-hand man and the driver went with him," answered Annie in a hoarse voice.

"Then are those two still alive?"

Annie shook her head. "No one knows where they are right now."

Marcus frowned. As much as he felt sorry for Annie, he did not know how to help her since he was not familiar with how things work in the lives of the elites.

However, Annie did not go to him for help. What she really wanted was for him to comfort her.

"My family is a mess right now, and my parents forbid me from telling anyone about this. But I'm so…so sad. Uncle Jeremy doted on me ever since I was little. He might be a little fierce sometimes, but he never says no to me when I ask him for something!"

Marcus patted her hand gently before sighing helplessly. "Annie, I know you're sad, but I really don't know how to comfort you. All I can give is my condolences."

Annie wiped her tears away again. "I'm actually better off than Corinne since I can cry and talk to you about it, but she… She doesn't even know Uncle Jeremy is dead. As soon as I got the news yesterday, I wanted to call and tell her, but Mister Aaron stopped me. He said the shock might send her into premature labor, so it's best to keep the news from her."

Marcus was stunned, not at the fact that Corinne still had no idea about Jeremy's death but because Annie was with Aaron yesterday. However, he knew it was not the right time to pursue the matter.
