The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1335

"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?

"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."
