The Day I Kissed An Older Man

It was reasonable for Xante to suspect that.
“Sophia must’ve had something to do with it!” insisted Francine. “Losing Jeremy must’ve twisted her personality. We should go to
her house to save Jeremy now!”
Both Xante and Aaron, of course, suspected Sophia. They had arranged for their men to keep an eye on Adam Group and
Sophia’s house, but nothing out of the ordinary happened for the past few days.
Sophia would go shopping or meet up with her friends every day; no signs pointed to her hiding Jeremy.
Pamela was a cautious person. She threw Francine a stern glance to shut her up before saying, “Adam spoils that daughter of
his. If they do have Jeremy locked up, they must’ve prepared for all eventualities. It’ll be stupid of us to barge in without a plan.
Now, the important thing for us is to stay calm.
“I’ll have a talk with my husband to see what our next steps are going to be. Please take care of Corinne for us. Make sure she
doesn’t catch wind of this. I promise us Holdens will give her a satisfactory answer.
“I hope Corinne can forgive Jeremy if he can’t make it back because of some difficulties. But rest assured that my husband and I
will teach that useless grandson of ours a lesson if he really did something to hurt her.”
Seeing that Pamela was not the type of foolish grandmother who would defend her grandchildren even when they did something
wrong, Xante nodded respectfully and said, “We’ll definitely take care of Corinne well. Please have a safe journey home, Miss
Pamela.”
After she saw Pamela and Francine off, Xante turned around.
Her face instantly fell when she saw Corinne, dressed in her hospital gown, standing not far away and looking at her quietly.
Not knowing how long Corinne had been standing there, Xante walked over to her sheepishly and worriedly. “Boss, what are you
doing out here? You need to keep your body warm. It’s too windy here with all the open windows. Let’s go back.”
“I find it uncomfortable to be lying down all the time. Plus, I want to see my babies,” said Corinne sadly.
‘She didn’t ask me anything. Does that mean she didn’t overhear the conversation with Miss Pamela just now?’ Xante sighed
with relief. She then took off her suit jacket and put it around Corinne’s shoulder. “Here, take this. It’ll keep you warm.”

Corinne accepted her kind gesture. She then walked to the baby incubator room to take a look at her babies through the glass
partition wall.
“Xante, did something happen to Jeremy?”
Xante’s heart sank. ‘So she overheard our conversation, huh?’
Even though her voice was trembling, overall speaking, Corinne was so calm that it was unnerving. “I searched for his flight
details with my phone just now and saw the news of the plane crash. The rescue team is still looking for survivors. Is that why
you’ve all been acting weird around me? You guys didn’t want me to find out what was happening, so you all stopped me from
looking at my phone.”
Xante did not know what to say.
Corinne took a deep breath to compose herself. “Don’t worry. I’ve never been so clear-headed in my life as of this moment. I’m
not going to do anything stupid because I have two babies who need me. But, you must send our men to look for him. Don’t stop
until you find him. If he’s alive, I want to see him standing before me. If he’s dead, I want to see his dead body.”
Xante frowned. She did not know whether she should tell her the truth, so she said, “Boss, Aaron and I have ordered our men to
look for Mister Jeremy. We’ll let you know as soon as we get news on him. So don’t overthink things, okay? I’m sure Mister
Jeremy is still alive...”
