The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 354

“Mister Jeremy,” greeted Edmund with a bow. “Mister Lucas had asked me to return your car and to convey his

gratitude to you for lending him the car yesterday. If not, he and Miss Anya would be stuck waiting on the Yonder

Bridge for at least two hours or so for someone to get them.”

“If he’s so grateful, why isn’t he here personally to thank me then?” asked Jeremy indifferently.

Edmund had spent many years working under Lucas to know how to deal with this kind of situation. However, he

still could not help but feel a little pressure when it came to dealing with Jeremy.

“My deepest apologies, Mister Jeremy. Mister Lucas is away on a business trip. Otherwise, he would’ve personally

come to thank you.”

Jeremy wordlessly cut the bacon in his place as if he was the only person in the dining room. What Edmund said

might have worked on other people, but not on him. It was obvious to him that Lucas was not sincere about

thanking him.

Edmund remained awkwardly standing where he was. Then, he suddenly turned to Sunny and said, “Mister Sunny,

go on. Tell Mister Jeremy what happened, and make sure you apologize sincerely to him after that.”

“Fine…” The usually high–spirited Sunny had his head drooped. The emotions he had been holding back in the car

came out all at once. He took a few steps forward and dropped his head even lower as if he was ashamed to face

Jeremy.

“Jeremy, I’m sorry. I…”

He felt it hard to go on so much, so he thought he was going to puke out some blood right there and then.

However, he finally bit the bullet after thinking about Anya and Lucas‘ future.

“It was me! I was the one who posted the video online to slander Corinne. I did it to make her pay for what she did

to Rosie! I stole the female influencer’s phone from Lucas and edited the video to make it look like Corinne was in

the wrong so that everyone would hate her! I’m the only one to blame for this fiasco.”

Tommy looked at Sunny with shock written all over his face. Of all the people in the world, he would have never

guessed it would be him who posted the video online. While it was true Tommy thought Sunny to be a little naughty,

at the same time, he knew there was not a bad bone in that boy. There was no way he would do something as

despicable as this.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he remembered all the troubles Sunny had caused Corinne before.

Therefore, it was not that surprising that he would come to admit his wrongdoings. In fact, Tommy should have

seen it coming.

Edmund was a little puzzled as to why Jeremy seemed to not show any reaction after Sunny’s confession. He

thought about it for a while and then said, “Mister Jeremy, Mister Sunny is still young and doesn’t know the way of

the world. We’re sorry to have caused trouble for you and Missus Holden. Rest assured that Mister Lucas had

punished Mister Sunny accordingly the moment he found out about what he had done. Today, I’ve brought him here

for you to punish him however you see fit.”

He was right. The whole thing was tricky to deal with exactly because it concerned the Rivera family.

“The Rivera family is the Rivera family, and Anya is Anya,” said Jeremy suddenly. His tone was one of calm and

ruthlessness.

Tommy was a little taken aback. From that simple statement alone, he understood that Jeremy had no intention to

go easy on the Rivera family because of Anya.

“What should I do next, Mister Jeremy?” asked Tommy seriously.

Jeremy was about to give his order when Bowen suddenly walked into the dining room in a hurry and said, “Mister

Jeremy, the Rivers are here.”

‘What? The Rivers? Speaking of the devil!‘ Tommy was stunned and puzzled at the same time. Apart from Anya, this

was the first time anyone else from the Rivera family had come to the Holden’s‘ estate.xo.com fast update

The two families held deep–seated grudges toward one another, and though the younger family members did not

see each other as enemies, they would never show up at each other’s houses unannounced either.

“What do they want?” asked Jeremy with a raised eyebrow.

“A jolly–looking subordinate said he brought Mister Sunny here to apologize to you and Ma’am, and apparently, Miss

Anya is in the car as well.”

“Let them in,” said Jeremy darkly.

“Yes, Mister Jeremy,” said Bowen. Then, he went to get the guests.

Not long after, Lucas‘ right–hand man, Edmund, came in with Sunny in tow. Anya, however, was nowhere to be

seen.

Jeremy put the bacon into his mouth and chewed slowly as if he had all the time in the world. He then put down his

cutleries, took a sip of water, and gracefully dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

Some people in the world did not even have to frown for others to feel a sense of oppressive pressure. For some

reason, Edmund and Sunny could not help but feel the walls closing in on them:

“Answer me this, do you know what Corinne did at the embankment that day?” asked Jeremy calmly with a raise of

his eyebrow.

Sunny nodded and said, “Yes…”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Do elaborate.”

Sunny was panicking. “Corinne helped out my grandfather, who went blind recently, and if it wasn’t

for her, my grandfather would’ve been beaten up by that female influencer.
