However, the silver-haired man merely laughed mockingly. “I know he’s dead, but he died too quickly for my liking.
That’s why I’m going to torture the love of his life so he won’t be able to rest in peace!”
Corinne shrank back with alarm. She could tell the silver-haired man was a psychopath who had no moral qualms
about hurting others for fun.
A look of condescension flashed across the silver-haired man’s eyes. “Scared now, are we? I don’t remember you
being this much of a coward previously.”
Corinne gritted her teeth and said nothing. ‘Of course I wasn’t scared last time! I wasn’t pregnant then. I could fight
them off and still have energy to run after.’

baby in your belly for that. The baby’s still has some use to me, so I’ll wait until you’ve safely delivered that b*stard
before having my way with you!”
Corinne frowned. “What use do you have for my baby? Just what are you planning to do?”
The silver-haired man poked her belly. “Now that Jeremy’s dead, I’m pretty sure the Holdens would do anything to
get their hands on the baby. I’m going to use the baby to blackmail them into giving me their fortune!”
Corinne immediately understood what he was getting at. She scoffed and said, “That’s the stupidest plan I’ve ever
heard! This baby has nothing to do with the Holdens. Even if it does, the Holdens will never agree to give you their
fortunes just to save a baby!”
The silver-haired man smiled coldly at her. “Haven’t you heard? The very night Jeremy’s grandparents received
news of his death, they immediately made a will stating that all of their fortunes would go to that little b*stard in
your belly in the event of their deaths.”
Corinne was shocked. “What? Where did you get that information from? That’s impossible!”
The silver-haired man grinned sinisterly. “I don’t see what’s so impossible about that. I mean, the baby is the only
surviving bloodline of Jeremy. Plus, the Holdens have always been known to uphold their age-old traditions of
passing all of their fortunes to the eldest grandson.”
It was the first time Corinne had ever heard of that. Thus, she was understandably shocked that Pamela and Greg
would make such a drastic decision in such a short time. However, that still did not answer her question of where
the silver-haired man got the information from.
After thinking it over, Corinne said calmly to him, “So what you’re saying is, all of this comes down to money. Well,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlet me save you the trouble: Just name a number, and I’ll give it to you.”
The silver-haired man was a little taken aback, but he then smiled as though he was amused. “You’ll give it to me? I
don’t think a little lady like you can afford the number I want.”
“I can’t speak for the Holdens, but I can d*mn well speak for myself. To be honest, I have in my possession a few
properties which can be sold for tens of millions of dollars. I can guarantee you that you’ll never want anything else
for the rest of your life. I’m willing to give them all to you if you let me go,” said Corinne.
The silver-haired man gazed intently into Corinne’s eyes to see if she was lying, and he believed her when he saw
the resolution in her eyes.
