The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345

At the Riveras, Lucas sat leisurely on the chair in front of the dust–free built–in bookshelf and read a book by a foreign author while holding a cup of hot coffee in his other hand.

His secretary, Edmund, stood to one side and reported the situation dutifully. “Sir, about those videos and posts online, it’s clear that Corinne has been wrongfully accused. Should we clarify to the public on her behalf?”

Although Edmund could not understand why Corinne would disrespect his employer, that did not change the fact that Corinne helped the old man on Yonder River’s shore the other day. Had she not been around, the old man would have been hurt by that ignorant female internet celebrity.

Lucas narrowed his handsome eyes and remembered the arrogant way in which Corinne ignored him. He took a slow sip of coffee and said softly, “She is Jeremy’s woman. We don’t need to intervene even if something happens.”

When Edmund heard that, he realized that Lucas was right–the Holdens‘ scion could not have been incapable of protecting his own woman. ‘Guess I’m just worrying too much, then.

Lucas put down the coffee cup gracefully and said again, “The current priority is to find out how and where that video came from. Be sure to find out for me.”

At the mention of that, Edmund said helplessly, “Sir, your subordinates have tried investigating this, but nothing could be found. We confiscated that celebrity’s cell phone right away, and she couldn’t have had the time to get a backup. Since then, the cell phone has been with you, and no! one else has touched it except for the time we handed it over to the police for them to collect evidence.”

A look of alertness flashed across Lucas’s eyes. “Does that mean someone touched the cell phone that was in my possession while I wasn’t paying attention?”

Edmund hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Sir… I do believe that it’s the only possibility.”

Lucas closed the book in his hand. “I’ve always kept my cell phone in the drawer of this study. If anyone touches it, they have to have broken in here!”

Edmund felt that it was unlikely for a family member to have done it. “Let me think… Only Miss Anya would dare to enter your study without your permission, and I’m sure it couldn’t have been her. Other people wouldn’t have dared to come in..

While Edmund was talking, Anya held a plate of pastries and walked in through the door with a smile on her face.
