Annie wanted to make a couple of pointed remarks at that eccentric meathead, but Aaron's presence seemed to make it difficult for her to express herself. In the end, she could only lower her head and keep silent.Aaron then frowned. "Why would you agree to go on a blind date with her if she disgusts you that much?"Gibby seated himself and responded arrogantly, "Her mother tried to set her up with a potential partner, so my mother caught wind of it and asked me to meet her. I had nothing to lose, so I figured it shouldn't be a problem to come here."Aaron then grinned. "Ah, so you intend to take advantage of her?"Gibby glanced at Annie and corrected him, "Not exactly. I'm doing her a favor. If word gets out that none of the men introduced by her family are willing to go on a blind date with her, she can say goodbye to getting married."Aaron sneered. "Cut the crap, pal. You came here because you think she's pretty, and you were hoping to gain something from her since she has a go

When Aaron saw that Gibby was still in a state of shock, he tapped the table and asked, "Is something wrong? Are you skeptical about the authenticity of my business card?"After taking the business card, Gibby glanced at Aaron's bespoke suit and noticed that the latter had an aura that only higher-ups in a company could exude. He still had his doubts, so he said to Aaron, "I'll believe you if you succeed in getting me a job at Newmoon Group."That shameless request made Aaron laugh. "You've got some nerve making that request."Gibby crossed his arms haughtily. "Oh? Does that mean you can't do it? What a shame. This all but proves that you're bluffing!""Honestly," Aaron began with a smile, "I don't have to prove my identity to you at all. But since you're a top graduate from a prestigious university, I won't mind having someone of your talents join our company."Annie looked at Aaron in shock. 'Why in the world would you hire someone who has only academic qualifications for show?'

Aaron snorted and turned to look at Annie. "Girls shouldn't be too soft, Annie. Treat him the same way he was prepared to treat you earlier."His implication was clear as he glanced at the glass of orange juice in Annie's hand.Annie understood right away. She had grown fed up with Gibby and no longer cared about maintaining her ladylike image. After removing the straw from her glass, she held it up and splashed it on Gibby's face.Gibby barely had time to react when the sticky juice drenched the most expensive shirt in his wardrobe. He specifically chose that for the blind date.Furious, his temper flared, and he raised his hand. "You... You b—"Aaron cleared his throat lightly. "Remember. All our employees must respect women."Realizing that acting on his anger could jeopardize his chance to secure a decent job at a big company, Gibby froze mid-sentence and stopped short of uttering the B-word. He mustered an ugly smile and said, "I'll happily go through this if it helps ease y

Aaron immediately shook his head. "Okay, okay. I'll stop.""Sit over there." Annie frowned and pointed to the seat opposite her.Aaron nodded. "I'll do as you say." He then stood up and took his seat across from her. Unfortunately, Annie felt even more uncomfortable as he was able to make direct eye contact with her."So, why are you here?" Annie asked, trying to shift the conversation.Aaron looked at her with a smile. "I heard you were having a blind date here, so I came to check on things."Annie frowned. "Who told you that? That blabbermouth is going to get it from me!"Aaron did not reveal that Sunny was the one who gave him that information. After all, he was a man of some principles despite his usual nonchalant attitude. "I have my ways."Annie blushed and frowned upon hearing that. "Ugh, don't give me that bull! You're just here because you're interested in every woman's business!""Easy there!" Aaron raised his hands helplessly. "I'm not that kind of person!"Annie ha

Annie nodded and said, "Yes. Our family used to be considered normal working-class people, but Uncle Jeremy's protection enabled us to become quite well-off. You could even say that I was the daughter of a rich family. Now that Uncle Jeremy isn't around, those who used to do business with our family for my uncle's sake no longer do so anymore. That's life, am I right? One look at the men that my family's been introducing to me on these blind dates, and you'll be able to see just how far we've fallen. They never would've dared to introduce someone like that to me when Uncle Jeremy was around."Aaron's initial focus was on Annie's situation, but he did not realize how big of an impact Jeremy's disappearance had on her family. Things had become very challenging for them."Now that your uncle is gone, perhaps you can ask your parents if they're interested in having a son-in-law who can turn things around?" Aaron suggested. "I might not be as influential as Jeremy, but I do have some conn

"But there isn't—""Let's go," Aaron cut Annie off and stood up before going over to hold her hand."Where are we going?" Annie was lifted from her seat.Aaron smiled and said, "To your home!""What?!" Annie's eyes widened. She then thought to herself, 'Doesn't he feel an ounce of shame?'Back at the Holdens, Corinne contacted a certain secret number and used advanced encryption methods to send a text.[She doesn't suspect me of knowing what I know. I can cooperate with you during this time, but in the meantime, you must take good care of my son. I'm trusting you, so don't let me down again!]A reply came several minutes later. [He's my son too, so you can rest assured I'll take care of him. Please extend the same courtesy to me for Benjamin.]After replying to this message, Zachary deleted the conversation history from his phone and glanced at the computer screen. Inside a secret inbox, he received an email from a rehabilitation doctor with detailed instructions and various ot
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1553
"Yeah. He's tired after playing all afternoon," replied Zachary.Sophia had strong reason to suspect that the boy was Bryan—whom Corinne raised—and not Benjamin. Perhaps he felt compelled to play all day and not come home as he felt that it was too strict at home. The boy might be innocent and immature, but he could still be a potential source of trouble. After all, there was always a possibility that he might say the wrong thing to Zachary.She needed to figure out a way to resolve the situation, and fast. The two children under Corinne's care were an issue that had to be addressed as well. Sophia could not accept the existence of children that Jeremy had with another woman.After pondering for a while, Sophia asked, "Would you consider having another child to keep Benjamin company?"Fathering Jeremy's child would make it much easier for her to get rid of Corinne's child.Zachary froze for a moment as his expression sank. "What do you mean by that? Why would you even suggest that
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1554
Sophia was overjoyed to hear that. "Yay! It'll go smoothly if you're here, Dad! We can then return to Molomia together, and I can finally start preparing for my wedding to Zachary!""That's my girl!" Adam replied. "I'll be there soon!"Sophia then ended the call, confident that her father's intervention would put an end to any further complications. She was certain that no one would dare to back out of a potential deal again if her father handled everything.The door to the master bedroom had been closed softly. Zachary—who was Jeremy—turned the wheelchair around and saw that Bryan had woken up. The boy had been watching him from behind."What were you secretly looking at earlier?" Bryan asked curiously.Zachary placed a finger to his lips and whispered, "You must always call me 'Daddy' from now on, even if there's no one else in the room."Bryan blinked and asked, "I can call you that now? I thought you didn't like me calling you that."Zachary narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why

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

"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
