Chapter 1352
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
The silver-haired man reddened with anger when he saw the necklace. He seemed to have forgotten
he was in casts as he shot up from his seat and yelled, âGive me back the necklace!â
He risked going back to the explosion site to look for the necklace. It was the only thing his mother left
him, and the photo inside was also the only photo with both of them in it.
The police officers outside heard the commotion, and they rushed in to control him. âBehave yourself!â
The silver-haired man glared at Jeremy and gritted his teeth. âGive me back the necklace!â
Jeremy nonchalantly swung the necklace in front of him. âSo, are you going to tell me whoâs the
mastermind now?â
âI told you! No one told me to do anything. It was me who wanted you dead!â snarled the silver-haired
man.
Jeremy believed the silver-haired man, whose name was Rudy Holden, wanted him dead. Rudy was
just one of the many illegitimate sons Jeremyâs father had over the years. Thus, that made him his half-
brother.
Rudy dropped out of school when he was very young and became a thug to pass his time. During the
past two years, he somehow got his hands on illegal weapons and recruited a group of men to work
under him. One could say he was considerably powerful in his territory.
Thus, it was difficult for Jeremy to believe Rudy did not have someone supporting him from the
shadows. Of course, he was not in a hurry.
Jeremy put the necklace back into his pocket and stood up. âOh well, it seems like you donât want this
necklace that much after all.â
He turned to leave the interrogation room after that.
Rudy became even more infuriated when he saw Jeremy was about to leave.
âStop! Jeremy, you b*stard! Give me back the necklace! Give me back the necklace!â
âIâll give you back the necklace after you tell me who the mastermind is,â said Jeremy without stopping.
âJeremy! Donât go! Give me back theâ¦â

Tommy was already waiting for Jeremy at the entrance when Jeremy walked out of the police station.
âMister Jeremy, you havenât slept a wink these two days. You should go home and rest.â
Jeremy did look exhausted. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked up at the bright full moon.
âTommy, is the barbecue shack she likes still open at this hour?â
Tommy naturally knew who Jeremy was referring to, so he answered, âIt should still be open. They do
their business till the early morning.â
Jeremy walked toward his car. âBring me there.â
Tommy quickly followed after him. âYes, sir!â

Meanwhile, it was very lively in the Riverasâ mansion.
There had not been so many people ever since Maxwell brought Cedric and Beatrice abroad to visit
some relatives. Phoebe and Anya, on the other hand, were sent away to reflect on their wrongdoings.
Aaron, Xante, and Annie were at the Riverasâ mansion too. Everyone sat in the living room, eating fruits
and asking Corinne what happened during her kidnapping.
Corinne gave them a brief retelling before drinking the warm milk Sunny brought her with a faraway
look in her eyes.
It was nearly 3 a.m., and they would have been asleep at this hour. Of course, that was not the case as
everyone was pumping with adrenaline to rescue Corinne.
Corinneâs phone suddenly vibrated. Her eyes dimmed a little when she saw the message from Jeremy,
asking her, [Are you sleeping?]
A few seconds of hesitation later, she replied, [No. Whatâs up?]
An instant reply from Jeremy, [I bought you some supper and am outside the mansion. Can you come
out to take it?]
As tempted as Corinne was, she still decided to reject him.
[No, thanks. Iâve already eaten. You can bring the supper back for your grandparents.]
