Chapter 1335
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âTens of millions of dollars might be nothing compared to how much the Holdens are worth, but itâs
enough for you to never have to work ever again. Plus, you wouldnât have to deal with other members
of the Holden family fighting over the company shares with the baby,â said Corinne.
After thinking it over, the silver-haired man smiled and lifted her chin. âYouâre right. Your offer does
sound very tempting. But, only a fool would choose one over the other. I want both your properties and
the Holdensâ fortune!â
It never crossed Corinneâs mind that the silver-haired man would be that greedy. She frowned and
asked him, âSir, may I know your name?â
The silver-haired man glanced condescendingly at her. âMy name is not to be known for the likes of
you!â
âIf Iâm not wrong, youâre also a Holden, right?â said Corinne calmly. She knew she guessed right when
she saw the silver-haired manâs face darkened, so she continued to say, âHuh, so I am right. You must
be one of the illegitimate sons Jeremyâs father had with another woman when he was young. You hated
your father for abandoning you and your mother, but not as much as you hate Jeremy for living the life
that shouldâve been yours, right?â
The silver-haired man became enraged at having his sore spot exposed like that. He glared
vehemently at Corinne and said threateningly, âYou better shut your mouth, or Iâll kill you now!â
Realizing how much the silver-haired man and Jeremy looked alike, Corinne knew she was right. Of
course, his anger was also another sign that showed she was right.
Corinne had no intention to keep her mouth shut. After pursing her lips, she continued, âI get why you
hate your father, but why do you hate Jeremy so much? What did he do wrong? I mean, what kid would
wish for a father who goes around fooling around and having babies with other women? Also, it wasnât
like he could stop his father from doing that since he was just a kid himself.â
The silver-haired manâs eyes had turned red with anger by then. âI hate him for being the only son of
our father that gets to live a good life! He gets to be the successor of the family the moment heâs born.
But why? Just because heâs the first-born?
âWhy do I have to live an impoverished life while he gets to live a lavish life? Are we both not Holdens?
There were nights when I hated him so much that Iâd imagine the most gruesome death for him! And
the only way for me to stop hating him and to avenge my late mother is to take everything away from
him!âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
The silver-haired manâs resentment seemed to double in force at the mention of his late mother,
causing Corinne to shrink back a little. At the same time, she empathized with him a little.
âBut have you ever thought about whether youâre capable enough to run the company once you get
your hands on it? Can you guarantee that the company would be able to maintain its spot in the top-
hundred companies in the world?â asked Corinne.
In a fit of rage, the silver-haired man grabbed her throat and said, âD*mn you, woman. How dare you
look down on me!â
Even though she was in pain, Corinne forced herself to smile mockingly at him. âIâm asking for your
own good. Whatâs the use of getting control of the company if youâre just going to run it to the ground in
a few years?â
âThatâs none of your business! Iâd rather see the company go bankrupt than for them to have it!â
shouted the silver-haired man maniacally.
âSeriously, whatâs the point of going to all this trouble to get what you want and not enjoy it? Sir, it
doesnât seem like any of your friends outside of the room look like the type who knows how to run a
company. Not only do you not know, but you donât know anyone else who does either. Hereâs my
proposal: Let me live, and Iâll teach you how to make the company even more prosperous!â
âYouâre willing to teach me?â asked the silver-haired man skeptically.
âTo be honest, the only reason I seduced Jeremy was because I saw him as a meal ticket to a better
life. Now that heâs dead, itâd be harder for me to gain control of the Holdens, even with the baby as my
bargaining chip. There might be a chance that theyâre going to keep the baby and get rid of me.â
