Chapter 933
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âCorinne, is this all true? If it is, Holden Group will suffer a heavy loss because of you. Jeremy will cry
because of this!â said Zeke.
âCorinne? Are you okay?â asked Jason concernedly.
Corinne did not answer anyone. She simply stared at Jeremy to see what his reaction would be, but he
never once looked up at her.
âJosephine and her mother mustâve gone to the media to expose her since they failed to get what they
wanted when they came to the house,â she thought.
However, it was impossible for a pair of mother and daughter without connections to create such a big
ruckus online. The media in Zendonia knew not to report anything about Holden Group carelessly; not
unless they wanted to cross Jeremy. Thus, it did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that someone
else was behind this.
Suddenly, one of the girls exclaimed, âHuh? All the hashtags are gone!â
The other girls checked their phones as well.
âSheâs right! Theyâre all gone!â
âThatâs weird. Why did they all disappear?â
âYeah! All my searches came up empty.â
Corinne checked her phone too, and they were right. The trending topics had changed to some other
news on VeeTube; anything concerning her or Holden Group were all gone.
At that moment, Jeremy put away his phone and gracefully stood up. He then glanced at Corinne and
asked, âAre you leaving with me?â
Corinne could not help but feel like he was trying to pick a fight with her by asking her that question.
âWould you have let me stay if I say I donât want to leave just yet?â she asked with a frown.
âNo,â Jeremy uttered firmly.
Corinne smirked bitterly. âI knew it,â she thought. Nonetheless, she did not want to actually stay. Thus,
she got up.
Seeing this, Annie said, âBut you two just came! Why are you in a rush to leave, Uncle Jeremy?â
âItâs getting late. Corinne needs to rest,â he answered.
Annie looked at Corinne. âOh, right. Sheâs pregnant. Yeah, itâs best for her to go home and rest.â
Even though she wanted to talk to Corinne a bit more, she knew she had to be sensible about this.
âCorinne, itâs best if you donât go out alone these few days. We still donât know why the hashtags
suddenly disappeared, and Iâm worried some of the more extreme social media users might do
something crazy to you. Just be careful, yeah?â
Corinne nodded. âWill do.â
Annie put the photo album in an exquisite leather case for them to bring home. Jeremy took it from her
hand before putting one arm around Corinne. He then bid farewell to his friends and led her out of the
house.
â¦
âSorry, Mister,â Corinne said solemnly as soon as they got into the car.
Jeremy had just started the engine. Hearing this, he turned to look at her. âWhat are you saying sorry
for?â
âThe hashtags were all aimed at me, and they mustâve caused a lot of damage to Holden Group. But
donât you worry, Iâll handle the rest of the matter myself. And if Holden Groupâs shares donât rebound
after that, Iâll try to find a way to compensate you for the losses.â
Jeremy suddenly stopped the car. They had not even gotten far from Annieâs house yet.
The ear-splitting screech of the tire shocked Corinne. âWhat the hell is wrong with him? Why did he
stop the car?â
With his hands still on the steering wheel, he turned to look at her coldly. âCorinne Carew, do you know
who youâre talking to right now?â
Corinne was confused. She looked to the front and the back of the car before turning back to him. âI
donât see a third person here, so I am talking to you, of course.â
