At that moment, Aaron was not his usual cheeky self. Instead, he said seriously, "Yes, Marcus might not be an outsider to you, but he's an outsider to the Holdens. How could you tell Marcus what happened when the Holdens are trying their best to bury the news? Do you know just how severe the consequences would be if Marcus accidentally leaked the news?"Annie was stunned. It finally dawned on her what she had done wrong. She quickly picked up her phone, and said, "I'll text Marcus now to tell him not to tell anybody about Uncle Jeremy."Aaron sighed helplessly as he watched her type on her phone. "The police are doing a DNA test on the dead body they found yesterday. It's going to take some time since they want to cover all of their bases. We'll just have to sit tight and wait. There might be a chance that the dead body doesn't belong to Mister Jeremy."Annie hoped that was the case, too. However, she knew the chances were slim since the police found Jeremy's ID card on the burnt bo

"Where's Corinne? Didn't she come back at all when she heard the news?" asked Sophia tearfully.Francine's eyes glinted threateningly at the mention of Corinne. "You better not tell her about this! Grandma says the baby Corinne is carrying is the only living bloodline of Jeremy's. We can't let anything happen to her or the baby!"Sophia wiped away her tears and nodded. "Your grandmother is right. Hey, Francine…I don't think I'll visit your grandparents; I don't think I can stop crying if I do. Can you please tell them I'll get my dad to look into the matter, too? No matter what, we must avenge Jeremy!"After that, she wiped away her tears again and left the mansion to do some scheming. As soon as she got into her car, she crossed her legs and made a call."Find out where Corinne is right now. I expect an answer within ten minutes!" barked Sophia to the person on the other end of the call.…Corinne was eating her lunch absent-mindedly when Sunny got home. She was hungry, but ever

Benson looked at Sunny, and then at Corinne to check her reaction. He was worried that Sophia was Corinne's friend and that he would offend her if he did not let her in.Even though Lucas did not explain who Corinne was, all the servants could guess who she really was. Thus, they could not afford to cross her.However, Corinne did not look like she was interested in Sophia's arrival at all. Instead, she continued to eat her lunch nonchalantly.'Seems like the guest isn't welcome here at all. That means it's safe to ask her to leave,' thought Benson."Yes, Mister Sunny. I'll do that right away," he said before turning to leave.A few minutes later, he came back and reported, "Miss Corinne, Mister Sunny. I've already relayed your message to Miss Sophia, but she insisted she won't leave until she gets to meet Miss Corinne. She even said she has something very important to tell her."Corinne looked up and was about to say something when Sunny stood up impatiently. "Something very imp

Sunny was stunned when he saw it was Lucas' car.The car stopped in front of the gate, and the driver got out to open the door for Lucas.Sophia was shocked to see Lucas coming out of the car too. However, she quickly smiled and said in a voice that obviously showed she had been crying, "Oh, hey, Mister Lucas. You're back."Lucas walked over to her and looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Who are you?"Sophia was shocked once again. 'He doesn't remember me?'While it was true Lucas rarely attended any social events, he and Sophia had met in the few business networking events he did attend. They had even exchanged pleasantries with each other.Sophia was not happy at being forgotten, but she did not show it. She chuckled wryly and said, "Allow me to introduce myself again, Mister Lucas. I'm Sophia, a friend of Jeremy. We've met before."Lucas' eyes became even more wary when he heard she was Jeremy's friend. "So, why have you come to my house?""I was just explaining the purpose o

Sunny rubbed his head to ease the pain. "So are you going to tell me what happened to Jeremy?"Lucas' expression became serious. "Don't ever bring up what Sophia said or anything about Jeremy once you go inside."The more Lucas tried to evade answering his question, the more Sunny thought he was trying to hide something from him.'It looks like Lucas and Xante are both trying to hide something from Corinne, and it looks to be the same topic,' thought Sunny.Corinne had finished her lunch and was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone with a bored expression when the two brothers came in."Hey, Corinne," called Lucas gently.Corinne turned to look at him with surprise. "Why are you back so early, Mister Lucas?"Lucas sat next to her. "Work isn't that busy, so I thought I'd come home to spend time with you," he said with a smile."Thanks, but I don't mind being alone."Lucas was so used to getting the cold shoulder from Corinne that he did not even feel hurt anymore.

Even though Xante did not want to be the one to tell Sunny, she did not plan to lie to him either. Thus, when Sunny asked her, she told him the truth.Sunny stared at Xante's reply in shock while his hands started to tremble.Noticing this, Corinne asked him, "What's the matter, Sunny? Are you okay?"Sunny snapped out of his shock. He quickly rubbed his reddened eyes and said, "No… Nothing."Corinne narrowed her eyes at him. "What happened? Did Xante dump you?"Knowing he was not good at acting, Sunny turned away his face and said, "Nothing happened! I just remembered I have a test coming up soon, so I need to go study now."After saying that, he ran up to his room, which just made Corinne even more puzzled."Don't mind him. He has mood swings like this from time to time," said Lucas in a bid to distract her.Corinne raised an eyebrow. 'Is that so?'"By the way, I've arranged for someone to get you some of the stuff you might need for the baby. They'll be here soon. You can se

"What would you like to print on the fliers? It'll take around thirty minutes for the fliers to be ready after the design is confirmed," replied the store worker."I don't need them to be fancy. I just want to get them as fast as possible," said Sophia."Okay, then. I'll give you the simplest design and have them out for you in fifteen minutes."…That evening, after dinner, Corinne decided to take a stroll in the Riveras' garden. The night air was refreshing, and the bright moon hung in the sky.As she walked, she heard two servants complaining up ahead."D*mn it! Some idiot shop is distributing their fliers around here," said one of them."Yeah! They must have blown in after getting thrown away… God, they're everywhere!" grumbled the other.Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, so they turned around to see who it was. They quickly bowed respectfully when they saw it was Corinne."Hello, Miss Corinne. Would you be so kind as to take a stroll somewhere else?

'Wait a minute… What does it matter if it was Jeremy? He doesn't have anything to do with me anymore!' thought Corinne, calming down a little. After that, she threw away the flier and walked back to the mansion.The servants could not help but worry when they saw her walking away so fast, so they started chasing after her."Miss Corinne, please slow down!""Miss Corinne, be careful. Don't trip!"…Corinne ran into the house panting and saw Lucas sitting on the sofa, checking on Sunny's homework.Striding over, she asked, "Is it true that Jeremy is dead?"Lucas' expression hardened as he looked up at her. "Who told you that?" he asked with a frown.Seeing Lucas' reaction and recalling how he had been acting weird for the past two days along with Sophia's sudden visit during lunchtime, Corinne knew what the flier said was true.Her eyes turned red with anger. "Why didn't you tell me?"Lucas stood up despondently and walked toward her. "Corinne, I didn't mean to hide it from you

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

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 bodyg
