Chapter 708

Corinne graciously held Jeremy’s hand in hers. “Mister Cedric, this is my boyfriend. I’m pretty sure you

know him already so I won’t go into a long introduction.”

Cedric looked at the two of them in disbelief. “What? This old chap is your boyfriend? Didn’t you call

him Mister just now? I thought he’s just a relative of yours.”

Jeremy was initially happy with Corinne’s performance but his face turned cold again when Cedric

referred to him as an “old chap”.

‘My, Mister Cedric really doesn’t hold back his thoughts, does he? Not to mention he seems to get

overly emotional very fast,’ thought Corinne as she looked helplessly on at Cedric’s reaction. After that

she smiled wryly and said, “I called him Mister because he’s a bit older than me. We’re not related in

any way. He’s really my boyfriend.”

Cedric kept shaking his head. “What a shame for a young girl like you to be dating an old and boring

man like him.”

Lucas, who was initially in a bad mood, could not help but laugh when he heard that and this caused

Jeremy’s eyes to darken as he looked daggers at him.

“Corinne, it’s not too late to listen to my advice. Break up with him while the two of you are still not

married and I’ll introduce hot and young guys to you,” said Cedric in a tone that seemed to imply

Corinne was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.

Jeremy could not hold it back any longer. He interlaced his fingers with Corinne and put it up for

everyone to see to show that she belonged to him. “Sorry to burst your bubble but we’re already

married. Sorry for the late introduction, Mister Cedric, but this here is my wife.”

Cedric frowned. He was well aware Jeremy was in the room as well but he chose to ignore him on

account of the bad blood between the two families. ‘Isn’t he fooling around with Anya? Don’t tell me he

has changed his target to Corinne this time?’

Jeremy pulled Corinne up with him and said, “It’s getting late so we, the Holdens, will make a move

now. Do take care, Mister Cedric. Goodbye.”

Jeremy made sure to emphasize on the words “the Holdens” to warn everyone not to have any funny

business. After that, he put his arm around Corinne and led her out of the mansion.

Seeing this, Cedric could not help but feel like Corinne was being led like a lamb to the slaughter and

this made him very, very mad. Thus, he got up from the sofa and chased after them with his cane and

shouted, “Corinne, Eddy is a really open-minded guy so he won’t mind if you’re divorced so let me

know if you want me to set the two of you up.”

Jeremy suddenly paused and his cold aura manifested into thousands of metaphorical icy arrows that

plunged deep into everyone’s heart. Lucas frowned and said helplessly, “Grandpa, what are you doing?

You never strike me as an old geezer who butts his nose into other people’s business.”

Cedric sat down with a huff when he saw Corinne and Jeremy had already left the mansion.” I’m not

butting into other people’s business. I went to visit Mitchell, that old professor friend of mine, and he’s in

critical condition. He doesn’t have much time left and his dying wish is to see his grandson get married

but Eddy keeps on meeting one wrong girl after another… It’s so rare to come across an honest and

kind-hearted girl like Corinne nowadays so I hope to introduce her to Eddy and who knows… they

might end up married which will surely make Mitchell happy.”

Lucas fell silent. He understood where Cedric was coming from but what he could not understand was

his opinion of Corinne. “Grandpa, what makes you think Corinne is an honest. and kind-hearted girl?”

Cedric immediately rolled his eyes at him.
