The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sherlyn was even more dumbfounded after hearing what her mother said.

“Ring? When did I receive a ring—

“Wait. I remember now, Mom. An anonymous fan sent me a diamond ring by mail yesterday! I was worried the media might cook up some nonsense news article if they saw it, so I just put it away instead of wearing it.”

Lilliana was overjoyed to hear that. “That’s it! Mister Jeremy must’ve had a crush on you for a long time, and he’s trying to win your heart by posing as an anonymous fan! I got someone to investigate the people who came yesterday, and as it turns out, their leader was none other than Mister Jeremy’s personal assistant!

“Sherlyn, the Holdens are a first-tier family, and Jeremy has shown his utmost sincerity toward you! He’s really in love with you, and nothing will go wrong if you marry him!”

Jeremy Holden…

Sherlyn could not control her reddening cheeks and quickening heartbeat. She heard of his name before despite never meeting him in person, and she knew him as the treasured son of Holdens—a first-tier family. He was the equivalent of a god in the business world! It came as a surprise to her that even Jeremy was one of her fans, and he turned out to be so madly in love with her that he sent people to her house to deliver the betrothal gifts. If anything was to blame, it was her irresistible charm!

That afternoon, Corinne returned home with a delicate photo frame in her arms. She changed into house slippers as soon as she entered and immediately went straight upstairs.

Sherlyn happened to be heading down, and she blocked Corinne on purpose. “What’s that in your hand? Did you steal the jewelry from my betrothal gift?”

Corinne stopped and said curtly, “It’s my property.”

“I want proof. Show it to me!” Sherlyn has always disliked her younger sister, who was raised in the countryside since childhood. She felt that Corinne was a disgrace to the Carew family, and it was unsurprising that she never had any respect for her younger sister.

Sherlyn reached out and snatched the item that Corinne was protecting in his arms.

“Tch! The way you hold it makes me think that it was some sort of jewelry, but as it turns out, it’s nothing more than a picture depicting your mistress of a mother!”
