Corinne did not want Jeremy to know where she lived so she said politely, "You don't have to go through all that trouble to send me home. It's enough for you to simply drop me off at the exit, and I'll take a taxi from there."Seeing that she was not going to give him her address, Jeremy simply said, "Drive us back to the mansion.""Yes, Mister Jeremy.""What? He's taking me back to the mansion? What's the meaning of this? Is he out of his mind? I don't want to go back to the mansion with him.'Corinne gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to tell him the name of the apartment she was staying in."Baelon Garden. That's the apartment I live in."Jeremy gestured with his chin indifferently, signaling Tommy to tell the driver to change course to Baelon Garden.Tommy overheard the conversation between Jeremy and Corinne, and he felt sorry for Jeremy. 'Mister Jeremy has been looking all over the place for Miss Corinne only to learn that she has a new husband. Poor him… How can he

A fat cat came out of the bedroom at a leisurely pace. The cat thought its human had come home and wanted to rub itself against Corinne's legs. When it saw a stranger in the living room, it immediately puffed up its fur and hissed at Jeremy like a mini tiger."Hiss!"Jeremy looked coldly at the cat, unfazed by the cat's behavior.Corinne came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand and she nearly burst out laughing when she saw her cat trying to threaten Jeremy, though she managed to swallow back her laughter."Mimi, come here. Don't be rude to our guest.""Meow!"Mimi calmed down when it heard Corinne's voice. It then adorably walked over to Corinne and rubbed itself against Corinne's leg, asking for attention.Corinne stepped over Mimi as usual and put the coffee on the table."Here you go, Mister Jeremy. I only have one kind of coffee bean at home, so please drink it even if it's not up to your taste."She then turned around and stepped over Mimi again and went

Another thing was, guys were not typically as clean as girls, so Corinne and Xante asked Aaron to keep his personal belongings in his room in order to keep the living tidy. He was not allowed to display his garage kit in the space they all shared, nor was he allowed to use his exercise equipment outside of his room.Other than that, he was trained to put his shoes back in the closet as soon as he got home and similarly, to put his indoor slippers back in the same closet when he wrnt out.Did Aaron mind? Not really. He was used to it as the three of them grew up together.Jeremy became even more suspicious of Corinne when he saw that she was trying to avoid the conversation but then, suddenly, he heard the sound of someone entering the door passcode from the outside of the room.'Someone is back!' He thought with a frown and proceeded to look toward the door.Corrine knew it was definitely Aaron and it was because she knew exactly that, she became a little worried. She started rubb

Jeremy looked at Aaron, who was smiling enthusiastically, and then at Corinne, who was just letting Aaron put his arm around her with eyes filled with bloodthirst. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Very well then."Jeremy then walked around the coffee table to bypass Corinne and Aaron and strode out the apartment door. Once the door closed with a loud bang, Corinne finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, there was also an indescribable sense of suffocation still lingering inside of her.Corinne could not help but shudder when she recalled the cold smile Jeremy gave her before he left. Then, there was his deep, dark eyes… They looked as though something had broken inside of them.'What's going on with him? Why did he give me such a look before he left?' she wondered.She was still trying to come up with the answers to her own questions when Aaron asked her curiously, "Boss, what was going on just now? How does that scumbag Jeremy know where we live?"Corinne leaned

It was not working hours yet so the staff did not arrive. However, someone was already working at the president's secretary's desk.Corinne immediately got up and bowed respectfully toward Lucas when she saw him coming in. "Good morning, Mister Lucas."Lucas paused in his tracks and looked her up and down. "You don't look the worse for the wear so you must have gotten out alright from last night's predicament. Your grit is commendable, Miss Carew."Corinne maintained a smile on her face. "Thank you for your praise, Mister Lucas."Not wanting to see her a moment longer, Lucas then went into his own office. Edmund, however, stayed behind and said quietly, "Ahem, Miss Carew. I hope nothing bad happened to you last night.""Don't worry. I'm fine. Nothing bad happened," said Corinne lightly."Glad to hear that."Edmund sighed with pity for Corinne.Last night, Anya cried the whole time because she saw Jeremy holding Corinne in his arms. She could not accept the fact that she might l

Corinne asked Lucas why she was suddenly being promoted and he only paid her lip service, saying that with her skills and experiences, she was overqualified to be only working as a secretary.'What kind of half-*ss reason is that?' She instinctively looked at the smiling Jason and thought, 'He has something to do with this.'After coming out of Lucas's office, Edmund brought her to the new office she would be working in from there onwards. He even arranged for somebody to redecorate the office."Miss Carew, feel free to come to me if you want to change anything in your office. We can redecorate it to any style you like," said Edmund before leaving Corinne alone in her new office.Even Edmund's attitude toward her changed! Corinne found the whole thing surreal."Thank you but I'm good for the moment."She sat down on the chair and it was most definitely more comfortable than the chair she had when she was just a secretary. However, it would not be convenient for her to look into h

"Not really," replied Corinne."Because Anya loves Jeremy more than life itself. She could not and would not live without him. Your existence, however, made Jeremy question the importance of having Anya in his life."Corinne rolled her eyes. "Oh please, they already have a kid together so how can I still be a threat to their relationship? You guys are overthinking about this. Besides, it's not like Mister Jeremy is the only fish in the sea, and no matter how desperate I am for a man, I would never be a homewrecker!"Jason looked at her in shock, which Corinne noticed, so she asked him, "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"That snapped him out of his shock. He then smiled and said, "No reason. Let's go. I'll show you around the company's shopping mall and then we can have lunch together.""No, thank you. I still have work to do."Jason rapped his knuckles on the table and said, "This is one of your jobs. Many of your company's products are sold in the Talbot's Department S
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 524
Anya looked happy. She walked up to Corinne and said, "Corinne, what a coincidence to see you here too!""Yeah, I guess you can say that," said Corinne indifferently.Anya turned her attention toward Jason — who still was holding the shopping basket in his hand — and smiled coyly, "Jason, what are you doing here with Corinne?"Jason beamed a smile back at her and said, "Corinne has just been promoted to become the sales manager in Rivera Group today. Meaning to say she'll be in charge of all the products that the company supplies to Talbot's so I brought her here to get herself familiarized with the market."Corinne was relieved that Jason told her the truth instead of giving her an answer that could be taken the wrong way.'Okay, so he does know how to rein it in when there are other people present.'Anya blinked in astonishment. "Congratulations on the promotion, Corinne!"Corinne knew Anya did not mean that so she simply smiled and said, "Thank you.""Jeremy and I were just

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
