The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 158
As soon as Corinne snapped back to her senses, she turned around to discover that Jeremy had appeared behind her at some point and was staring at her gloomily.Corinne felt an inexplicably strong chill down her spine, and she subconsciously ended the call."Just a friend!" she replied curtly and placed the cell phone back into her pocket.Jeremy raised his hand and spread his large palm in front of her. "Give me the phone." He was acting like a high school principal who was doing his rounds and wanted to confiscate a student's cell phone.Corinne froze for a moment and frowned unhappily. She felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she did not want to argue with him there. After giving his request a bit of thought, she took out her phone and handed it to him.Jeremy took the phone and tried to swipe it open, but as soon as he saw that the screen was locked, he said coldly, "What's the password?"Corinne refused. "This concerns my privacy, and I have the right not

Jeremy merely glanced coldly at Corinne. As he held her cell phone up high, he slid his long thumb across the screen and accepted the call before putting it on speaker.Aaron spoke gently from the other end of the line and said, "Why did you hang up on me all of a sudden when you called me earlier?"Corinne was speechless.Jeremy stared at the guilty-looking Corinne. "Is this the friend you spoke of?"Corinne did not respond to him. 'We're friends and he's my subordinate, but it's just not that convenient to tell you!'Luckily for her, she did not save Aaron's number, or Xante's for that matter. She had long committed them to memory, and as long as Aaron did not let anything slip about their relationship, Jeremy would be none the wiser as to her long-standing friendship with Aaron."Why aren't you saying anything, Miss Corinne? Where are you? Should I come and look for you right now?" Aaron asked earnestly and enthusiastically once again.Jeremy's handsome eyes narrowed and he s

Corinne went on to say, "Honestly, you've never believed in me at all! You asked Tommy to make arrangements for my job just so you could keep me in a place that you can control. That way, you can always know what I'm doing and whether I cheated on you, right?"Jeremy stared at her with a dark and gloomy gaze. For the time being at least, he was noncommittal over her remark."I'm just a passer-by who will exist for only three months in your magnificent life, Mister. Please don't try to control me! If you don't believe in me, I can always swear to you!"After saying that, Corinne raised her hand firmly and vowed, "I, Corinne, swear to God almighty, that I'll never do anything out of line and cheat on Mister Jeremy Holden. May lightning strike me and kill me if I go back on my promise!" After swearing categorically, she placed her hand down and headed for the direction of the door.Just as she put her hand on the doorknob and opened it, Jeremy's big palm pushed it shut from behind."

Jeremy's eyes darkened even more when he thought of how he would lose the right to control her in another two months and seven days. She would then be able to have a relationship with other men and be intimate with them.'Out of the question!' he thought to himself.Corinne could not break free after he pressed her against the door, making her feel both flustered and angry. After waiting for a long time for the man to say something, she became a little impatient and said with a frown, "If you have something to say to me, could you at least get your hands off me? I'm leaving if you have nothing else to s—mgh!"The man leaned over suddenly, and he parted her thin lips with his tongue while dominating her mouth with his lips.Corinne's mind went blank, and she widened her eyes to confirm whether that was actually happening.Jeremy's handsome face was millimeters away from hers, and he was kissing her forcefully and aggressively.'What's going on?' When Corinne finally came to her se

Since Corinne could not pull Jeremy's big hand off of her, she raised her other hand in a hurry and slammed the door shut....Tommy was using his body to block the door to the stairwell, but Sherlyn turned violent and tried to push the door open with the use of the small gap.The more she was prevented from entering, the more she felt that something about the entire situation was amiss. She had to go in and see what Jeremy was doing inside, and whether he was alone or if there was someone in there with him.Tommy could not stand Sherlyn's antics any longer and warned her angrily, "Miss Sherlyn, I hope you don't blame me for having to take action if you continue to try and force yourself through the door!"Sherlyn did not take Tommy's threat seriously at all. From her point of view, Jeremy's secretary was just a lowly role like that of her assistant. Since she never took her assistant seriously, it stood to reason that she viewed Jeremy's secretary in a similarly condescending lig

In her moment of desperation, Corinne slapped the man in the face just so she could escape. As soon as she heard that everyone had left, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Suddenly, her phone rang once more, and it was yet another call from Aaron.Corinne frowned as she answered it.Aaron's voice sounded dramatic as if he had been possessed by the spirit of a dead actor. "Miss Corinne! Is that you? A man told me that you're married, but I won't believe anything he says! Tell me it isn't true, Miss Corinne, I—""Give that charade of yours a break!" Corinne interrupted angrily. "It's me!"There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Aaron soon reverted to his usual tone. With a smile, he asked, "How's it going, boss?""How's what going?""Did you and Jeremy get closer? Was he jealous earlier?"Corinne finally understood what Aaron was up to and warned him sternly, "Please don't do such pointless things again in the future! As I've said before, Jeremy's relationship

Corinne had no idea what was it that stoked Sherlyn's rage, but she answered curtly and hung up before going back to their table.There were few patrons in such a high-end restaurant, and the table Sherlyn reserved was next to the floor-to-ceiling windows where one could enjoy the river view outside while dining. It was an expensive seat, but one with the lowest minimum spend.She had to grit her teeth when doing so because it was all for the sake of leaving a good impression in front of Jeremy and pretending as if she had the financial means to do so.On normal occasions, she would never be willing to spend all that money to reserve that table, and she was particularly angry because she had spent a huge sum on the table and even ordered the most expensive dish, only to have the man leave without eating a single bite!At that moment, Corinne walked over from a distance and saw Sherlyn sulking by the window. She folded her arms across her chest in resentment and seemed to be in a bl

Corinne took out her cell phone and said, "Mister Jeremy probably hasn't gone far. I'll call his secretary and see if I can ask him to come back."Sherlyn was taken aback for a moment, and her guard was up. "What? Why would you have his secretary's number?"Corinne had a calm expression as she casually said, "Oh, I happened to meet his secretary when I went out of the restroom, so I chatted with him for a while and asked if he could leave his phone with me.""Why did you ask him for his number for no good reason? Are you going to try and seduce him again?" Sherlyn remarked bitterly and sarcastically.Corinne shook his head earnestly. "I wasn't going to seduce anyone...it's just… I'm your assistant now, and since you're paying me such a high salary, it's only right for me to do my job. I thought of how there are so many ways to get to know a person, so I asked him for his contact information in case he could one day be of help to you in securing some resources for your work.

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2934
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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2933
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
