The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1323

'Wait a minute… What does it matter if it was Jeremy? He doesn't have anything to do with me anymore!' thought Corinne, calming down a little. After that, she threw away the flier and walked back to the mansion.

The servants could not help but worry when they saw her walking away so fast, so they started chasing after her.

"Miss Corinne, please slow down!"

"Miss Corinne, be careful. Don't trip!"

…

Corinne ran into the house panting and saw Lucas sitting on the sofa, checking on Sunny's homework.

Striding over, she asked, "Is it true that Jeremy is dead?"

Lucas' expression hardened as he looked up at her. "Who told you that?" he asked with a frown.

Seeing Lucas' reaction and recalling how he had been acting weird for the past two days along with Sophia's sudden visit during lunchtime, Corinne knew what the flier said was true.

Her eyes turned red with anger. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lucas stood up despondently and walked toward her. "Corinne, I didn't mean to hide it from you… I was worried you wouldn't be able to take it and the baby…"

Not wanting to listen to him any further, Corinne pushed him away and shouted, "Don't come near me! I… I need to go out for a while!"

After that, she turned around to leave, but Lucas grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Corinne, please calm down. There's nothing you can do now. Plus, you said you don't want to have anything to do with Jeremy anymore!"

Jeremy's father had a lot of illegitimate kids with different women over the years, and Jeremy had to learn to protect himself from the threats brought by his half-brothers. Each of them vehemently wished for his death so that they could get their hands on the Holdens' vast family fortune.

Corinne had never heard Jeremy talk about his father or half-siblings before. In fact, this was the first time she learned about it. Back then, she did find it weird that she had never seen Jeremy's parents or why he never talked about them before, but she felt it was not her place to ask.

Suddenly, Lucas felt Corinne went slack in his embrace. He looked down and saw her eyes were closed.

"Corinne? Corinne! Wake up, Corinne!"

'Sh*t, this isn't good!' thought Lucas when he failed to wake Corinne up. "Quick, call the ambulance! No, wait! Don't call the ambulance. Drive the car around! We need to send Corinne to the nearest hospital!"

Sunny was first stunned, but he quickly snapped out of it and ran out to shout for the driver.
