Chapter 557
Jeremy looked down at her, staring coldly. “I asked you to leave when we were at the hospital, but you didn’t. I asked you to get into my car at the entrance of the restaurant, but you refused. I saved you, yet you repaid my kindness by being ungrateful and trying to hit me? I think you might only learn to be careful if you were killed by those people just now!”
“Who says I was being ungrateful? I didn’t know it was you who came just now!” Corrine frowned as she suddenly realized something was wrong. “Hold on. What do you mean? You seem to have long known someone wanted to attack me.”
Jeremy’s silence implied that he admitted it. It seemed like he did not wish to bother telling her too much. He just turned around and walked out of the narrow alley.
Corinne did not get an answer, so she quickly caught up to him and asked again, “Do you know who’s the Sir those people spoke about?”
“Mm-hmm.” Jeremy lowered his head to lit a cigarette and hummed indifferently without looking at her at all.
“Tell me, who is it?” Corinne wanted to know very badly who had such a huge grudge against her that the person wanted to take her life!
“Your boss.” Jeremy’s voice was flat.
Corinne stopped in her tracks, feeling shocked and very confused. “It’s Lucas? Did he hire someone to kill me? Why?”
Jeremy was walking slightly ahead of her. He took a puff of his cigarette, then said slowly,” Anya was once bullied by two classmates in middle school. The two girls vanished into thin air later and are still not found today.”
Corinne was dumbfounded.
What Jeremy meant was that Lucas did not hesitate to have someone get rid of the people who bullied his precious sister to seek justice for her.
Therefore, Jeremy already could tell that Lucas wanted to kill her when they were at the hospital. That was why he called her away, giving her a chance to first leave. It was also because he was sure she would get in trouble on her way home that he asked her to get in hist car in front of the restaurant. However, she did not cooperate with him at all.
“Is Mister Lucas so merciless?”
Corinne was not willing to believe her half-brother was such a heartless man, even though she would not acknowledge him as her brother.

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...
