The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1360
"You're Jeremy's niece, alright—defending him so fervently," said Corinne mockingly. "To me, hiding something from me is as good as lying. Not to mention, I did ask him whether he was hiding anything from me, and he said he wasn't."
Annie sighed again. "I'm a woman too, but I understand how you feel. No one likes to be lied to by the people they love and trust. But Corinne, don't you get the sense that Uncle Jeremy is quite scared of you? He must not dare to tell you after imagining how angry you would be."
Corinne found that laughable. "Heh! As if I'd ever believe he's scared of me. You haven't seen the way he shouts at me when he's angry at me."
Annie spread her hands helplessly. "Take today, for example. Uncle Jeremy doesn't really care what the Riveras think of him. But even so, he didn't dare to set foot inside because he was worried you'd get angry at him again."
Corinne was speechless.
Annie continued, "Also, Uncle Jeremy got legally married to Sophia not because of some 'bromance' or because he likes her. No. It's because Sophia's father is Adam, as in the director of Adam Group! You must've heard of the company, Corinne.
"If I'm to be polite, I'd say Adam Group is a world-class business consortium. But really, they're just a big bully with a global reach. As to why this concerns Uncle Jeremy… Well, he's in a somewhat complicated situation due to the problems passed down from his parents' generation.
"I'm not sure if you've heard, but Uncle Jeremy's father was an infamous playboy who had many illegitimate children with different women outside of his marriage. As time passed, his illegitimate children all grew up and started vying for Uncle Jeremy's fortune like hungry wolves.
"They kept looking for an opportunity to expose Uncle Jeremy's weakness so they could threaten him with it. All of them wanted him dead so they could inherit the Holdens' vast fortune.

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...
