The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1428

Xante could only say that at the moment as Corinne still looked composed. She feared that Corinne would have a meltdown if she told her that Jeremy had taken one of the babies away.

Corinne nodded. "Yes. I'm sure he's still alive. After all, he came back safe and sound when everyone said he was killed in the explosion last time. Plus, he promised he'd come back to me no matter what… My, it's really kinda chilly here. Guess I'll go back to my room to wait for him, then…"

Corinne turned and walked back to her room stiffly as she muttered to herself.

It pained Xante to see Corinne acting so calm. 'Poor Boss… She still had no idea Mister Jeremy had somehow come back secretly to steal the baby before he seemingly vanished into thin air… Might as well. It might be better for her to believe Mister Jeremy died in a plane crash if we can't find him or the baby.'

Three years later, all the shareholders had arrived at Holden Group's shareholder meeting, yet the company's president seat remained empty.

The meeting was set to start at nine o'clock in the morning, and there were still 30 seconds left until the hour hand struck 12.

Suddenly, the double door suddenly opened.

Corinne smiled at the elderly shareholder. "Let me ask you something, then. You all agree that Jeremy is the president of the company, right? So as his wife, isn't it justifiable for me to help him run the company while he's not here?"

Another shareholder scoffed and questioned her, "Wife? From what we know, you and Mister Jeremy never registered your marriage. At most, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend. Therefore, you have no right to take over the company."

Corinne remained unperturbed. "Even if I'm not legally married to him, both of our kids are still his successors. Being the mother of his successors gives me the right to sit here."
