"Tens of millions of dollars might be nothing compared to how much the Holdens are worth, but it's enough for you to never have to work ever again. Plus, you wouldn't have to deal with other members of the Holden family fighting over the company shares with the baby," said Corinne.
After thinking it over, the silver-haired man smiled and lifted her chin. "You're right. Your offer does sound very tempting. But, only a fool would choose one over the other. I want both your properties and the Holdens' fortune!"
It never crossed Corinne's mind that the silver-haired man would be that greedy. She frowned and asked him, "Sir, may I know your name?"
The silver-haired man glanced condescendingly at her. "My name is not to be known for the likes of you!"
"If I'm not wrong, you're also a Holden, right?" said Corinne calmly. She knew she guessed right when she saw the silver-haired man's face darkened, so she continued to say, "Huh, so I am right. You must be one of the illegitimate sons Jeremy's father had with another woman when he was young. You hated your father for abandoning you and your mother, but not as much as you hate Jeremy for living the life that should've been yours, right?"
The silver-haired man became enraged at having his sore spot exposed like that. He glared vehemently at Corinne and said threateningly, "You better shut your mouth, or I'll kill you now!"
Realizing how much the silver-haired man and Jeremy looked alike, Corinne knew she was right. Of course, his anger was also another sign that showed she was right.
Corinne had no intention to keep her mouth shut. After pursing her lips, she continued, "I get why you hate your father, but why do you hate Jeremy so much? What did he do wrong? I mean, what kid would wish for a father who goes around fooling around and having babies with other women? Also, it wasn't like he could stop his father from doing that since he was just a kid himself."
The silver-haired man's eyes had turned red with anger by then. "I hate him for being the only son of our father that gets to live a good life! He gets to be the successor of the family the moment he's born. But why? Just because he's the first-born?

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...
