Chapter 336
Corinne blinked and said, “You brought me to the Holdens and forced me to cooperate with you, so I did. I tried to follow your arrangements as best as I could, avoid making you unhappy, and expected nothing from you. But things have since changed, and now that we’ve agreed to try and get along with each other, you should learn to respect my wishes too. Plenty of things have happened over the past few days, and I’m exhausted. I want to have some peace and quiet, so could you please let me stay in this room by myself? If you want to make it clear that this is your room, I can go to the guest room or I can get out of here and go back to my own home.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes because her words left little room for him to maneuver. ‘How shrewd!‘
“This isn’t an issue of what’s yours or mine. When have I never let you do what you want? Hmm? If you want this room for yourself, go ahead and have it. I’ll go to the study.”
“Thanks, Mister!” Corinne grinned, raised her chin, and had a crafty look as she pointed to his big palm that was still pushing against the door. Her meaning was clear. “Could you remove your hand?”
Although Jeremy did not want to leave her alone, he could not afford to provoke her and eventually withdrew his hand from the door. As soon as his hand was withdrawn, Corinne closed the door in his face and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into some fresh clothes.
The blue veins on Jeremy’s forehead twitched, and he was unhappy after having the door shut in his face. It was the first time in his life that someone dared to treat him like that, but there was nothing he could do about it because he had taken a liking to her.
Jeremy massaged the area between his eyes, turned around, and saw his subordinate Tommy waiting not far away. Tommy probably witnessed what happened, which was why he was hesitant to say anything and merely looked nervously at Jeremy.
Frustrated, Jeremy lit a cigarette and asked, “What is it?”
Tommy finally dared to step forward and say to him, “Sir, the source of the video has been traced, but the IP address is fake and the real address was encrypted by the other party. Our people are still in the process of cracking the encryption. If everything meets expectations, this incident was probably stirred up by that influencer, and she also happened to take the chance to get revenge on our ma’am.”
Jeremy grunted coldly and flicked away the ash from the tip of his cigarette. “Send someone to find that influencer as soon as possible, and tell those who are in charge of dealing with this that they’ll no longer handle the matter. I’ll take over.‘
Tommy was startled, and he could not help but feel a little surprised to hear that Jeremy was going to do it himself. Corinne appeared to have more standing in Jeremy’s heart than Anya!

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...
