The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1316

At that moment, Aaron was not his usual cheeky self. Instead, he said seriously, "Yes, Marcus might not be an outsider to you, but he's an outsider to the Holdens. How could you tell Marcus what happened when the Holdens are trying their best to bury the news? Do you know just how severe the consequences would be if Marcus accidentally leaked the news?"

Annie was stunned. It finally dawned on her what she had done wrong. She quickly picked up her phone, and said, "I'll text Marcus now to tell him not to tell anybody about Uncle Jeremy."

Aaron sighed helplessly as he watched her type on her phone. "The police are doing a DNA test on the dead body they found yesterday. It's going to take some time since they want to cover all of their bases. We'll just have to sit tight and wait. There might be a chance that the dead body doesn't belong to Mister Jeremy."

Annie hoped that was the case, too. However, she knew the chances were slim since the police found Jeremy's ID card on the burnt body yesterday.

"No matter whether the dead body is Mister Jeremy's, the one thing we cannot do is to tell Corinne about this, understood?" said Aaron.

Annie nodded. "Yes, understood. It was a good thing you stopped me from calling her yesterday. If not, I can't imagine what would happen to her…"

Aaron pulled out some tissues and passed them to her. "There, there. You can cry if you want."

Annie took the tissues and wiped away her tears. "No matter what, we need to find the culprit who did this to Uncle Jeremy! We must avenge him!"

"D*mn right you are," said Aaron. However, he still did not wholly believe Jeremy was dead.

Meanwhile, at the Holdens' mansion.
