The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1379

Besides, the apple did not fall far from the tree. It would not be difficult to imagine what kind of person Adam was

with a daughter like Sophia.

Then there were, of course, the rumors of Adam being ruthless enough to not even blink when he killed people and

how he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

Thus, it was not that Corinne did not trust Jeremy but because she was worried about him. Unfortunately, she could

tell he had made up his mind, and nothing she said could ever change it.

“I trust you,” she finally said calmly and determinedly. “But, I don’t trust either Sophia or her father.”

Jeremy naturally understood where her worries were coming from, but he made sure to cover for all sorts of

eventualities.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” he said.

Knowing it would be futile to stop him, Corinne decided not to waste her time trying to convince him otherwise.

Corinne did not really care about all that. “It’s okay. There’s no going back now. But Mister, what you should’ve

Jeremy sighed and gave her a resigned look. “I know you. You’re not the type who’d be scared of those people nor

would you listen to me if I told you to stay at home. I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried to investigate the matter for

my sake, and that’ll only attract more attention toward you.”

Corinne was speechless. ‘He’s right. Instead of being afraid, I’ll help him investigate the matter to see if there’s any

way to solve his problems…’
