The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 230

Even after several minutes, Jeremy said nothing in response.

Thus, Rosie whimpered, “Jeremy, you’re aware of the situation with my family business. If you withdraw your investment, my family business is done for!”

Jeremy’s tall, distant self stood on the balcony. Expressionlessly, he lit a cigarette and looked down at the distraught–looking Rosie.

“Holden Group isn’t a charity,” he remarked flatly. “It’s not the first time your family business has been in a downfall. Every year, the investment Holden Group has in your family business has decreased. I’ve been keeping an eye on them because we’ve been friends for many years. Today, however, you don’t think of me as a friend, and I don’t think Holden Group needs to help your family business anymore.”

Rosie shook her head fearfully and tried to explain herself. “No! That’s not it! How can you think that way? When did I do that? We’ve known each other since we were kids. You’re an important friend in my life!”

Jeremy glared at her from the corner of his eyes and puffed out the smoke with a stone–cold face. “Is that so? If you’re my friend, why do you keep hurting my wife?”

Rosie looked embarrassed and guilty as charged, but her eyes showed resentment. “Yes, we are friends, but I don’t think there’s any relationship between me and Corinne. I admit I can’t stand her arrogance, so I wanted to teach her a lesson…”

Jeremy glared at her coldly. “Do you think you’re in the position to teach my wife a lesson? If you treat her badly, it means you’re going against me.”

These ruthless, brutal words stunned Rosie.

Right after that, she lowered her head fearfully and said, “I’m sorry, Jeremy. I know I’m wrong, and I’ll never do that again. We’re friends. Please, don’t withdraw your investment.”

“You dare risk my wife’s life and hurt her. Do you think I’d still think of you as a friend, Miss Rosie?”

“Jeremy, are you…really going to fall out with me just because of Corinne? After all the years that we’ve known each other…”
