The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Tens of millions of dollars might be nothing compared to how much the Holdens are worth, but it’s enough for you to never have
to work ever again. Plus, you wouldn’t have to deal with other members of the Holden family fighting over the company shares
with the baby,” said Corinne.
After thinking it over, the silver-haired man smiled and lifted her chin. “You’re right. Your offer does sound very tempting. But, only
a fool would choose one over the other. I want both your properties and the Holdens’ fortune!”
It never crossed Corinne’s mind that the silver-haired man would be that greedy. She frowned and asked him, “Sir, may I know
your name?”
The silver-haired man glanced condescendingly at her. “My name is not to be known for the likes of you!”
“If I’m not wrong, you’re also a Holden, right?” said Corinne calmly. She knew she guessed right when she saw the silver-haired
man’s face darkened, so she continued to say, “Huh, so I am right. You must be one of the illegitimate sons Jeremy’s 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 should’ve been yours, right?”
The silver-haired man became enraged at having his sore spot exposed like that. He glared vehemently at Corinne and said
threateningly, “You better shut your mouth, or I’ll kill you now!”
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, “I 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 wasn’t like he could stop his father from doing that since he was just a kid himself.”
The silver-haired man’s eyes had turned red with anger by then. “I 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 he’s born. But why? Just because he’s the first-born?
“Why 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 I’d 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!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

The silver-haired man’s 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.
“But have you ever thought about whether you’re 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?” asked Corinne.
In a fit of rage, the silver-haired man grabbed her throat and said, “D*mn you, woman. How dare you look down on me!”
Even though she was in pain, Corinne forced herself to smile mockingly at him. “I’m asking for your own good. What’s the use of
getting control of the company if you’re just going to run it to the ground in a few years?”
“That’s none of your business! I’d rather see the company go bankrupt than for them to have it!” shouted the silver-haired man
maniacally.
“Seriously, what’s the point of going to all this trouble to get what you want and not enjoy it? Sir, it doesn’t 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 don’t know
anyone else who does either. Here’s my proposal: Let me live, and I’ll teach you how to make the company even more
prosperous!”
“You’re willing to teach me?” asked the silver-haired man skeptically.
“To be honest, the only reason I seduced Jeremy was because I saw him as a meal ticket to a better life. Now that he’s dead, it’d
be harder for me to gain control of the Holdens, even with the baby as my bargaining chip. There might be a chance that they’re
going to keep the baby and get rid of me.”
