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.

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...
