The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2930

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly.

"You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!

"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"

Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.

Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in- law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"

She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyguards outside had the mansion surrounded. No one would be able to step foot outside the mansion until Sadie confessed.

Although Sherman seemed calm on the surface, he was actually anxious. 'What if Sadie refuses to confess?' Sadie kept her head lowered. She had not expected Sherman to care so much about

Rita. Her calculations had all been wrong. She had thought the only reason Sherman chose Rita was because he could not handle Vince's pressuring him.

'Seems like he really has feelings for Rita all along,' thought Sadie. She felt utterly hopeless, even resentful. How could this be possible? That someone like Rita could attract someone's interest, especially Sherman, the man she met first. Why did she always end up losing things to her?

"Hmph, I don't believe you would do anything to us. You're just bluffing. Even if I had something to do with Rita's kidnapping, what can you do to me? You'll be front-page news tomorrow if you lay a finger on me. The whole world will see the company president of Parr Group resorting to violence against his wife's sister. People will inevitably speculate about what's going on in my family. Will your family be able to hold their heads high up then?"

Even Karen realized something was wrong then. She rushed over to shake Sadie gently. "Sadie, tell me what happened. Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with you, right? Quickly, tell Sherman. Get the people outside to leave. We have other things to attend to. We can't be trapped in the mansion like this!"

"Missus Russell, do you know that your daughter has already met her father?" asked Sherman. Karen roared, "That's impossible!"

At the same time, she turned to scrutinize Vince's expression. Sure enough, he was frowning angrily.

"Don't tell me you're still in contact with that lowlife. What did you say when I took you away? You said you never wanted to go back there again, yet look what you're doing now. How can you cheat on me when I'm so old? The other people are going to see me as a laughingstock!"

Karen moved closer toward Vince with a placating expression. "What are you saying? If you don't trust me, we can have a paternity test done once this baby is born, okay?"

Her overly accommodating manner made Sadie angry. "Dad, how could you treat Mom like this?!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
