Unfortunately, Lilin and Bryan's interaction did not escape Jeremy's notice. He looked at them and said very calmly, "You know you two can just say whatever you want to instead of making faces like that."Both Bryan and Lilin were stunned, and they looked at Jeremy sheepishly.Bryan grinned awkwardly and said, "We… We're not talking about anything, Daddy!"Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "There's no one else here now, so talk. Did the two of you cook up a plan to do something while you were in the restroom?"Bryan knew Jeremy had seen through them, so he turned and exchanged glances with Lilin, asking her whether he should just tell Jeremy what happened.Lilin was a very straightforward kid, so after thinking about it, she said, "Well, you're right, Zachary. We did cook up a plan to do something while we were in the restroom."Jeremy looked at her. "Well, do elaborate.""Actually… I already know Benjamin isn't really Benjamin and is someone else. When we went to the restroom just now,

Bryan was a little taken aback by Jeremy's question. He tilted his little head and asked, "Why not? Don't you want to see Benjamin?"Of course Jeremy wanted to see his own son, but he could not risk Sophia or Adam finding out that the two boys had switched places."Didn't I say no one should find out that you aren't Benjamin? Why does Lilin know?" asked Jeremy sternly.Bryan waved his hand hurriedly. "I… I didn't tell her. She found out on her own."Of course, he did reveal a little to Lilin, but he was afraid that Jeremy would be angry, so he did not dare to admit it.Lilin did not want Bryan to be blamed for this, so she bravely admitted, "Zachary, please don't blame him! He really didn't tell me. I discovered it myself!"Jeremy looked askance at Lilin. "How did you find out?""Uh... I found out from his attitude toward Sophia! Although the real Benjamin isn't close to Sophia either, he doesn't really hate her. So my sixth sense, which is accurate most of the time, tells me th

It was Corinne!She looked at Jeremy quietly with her chin on her palm. "Hey there, handsome. Who were you texting? Could it be me?"Jeremy snapped out of his surprise and instinctively glanced upstairs to check that Sophia and Adam had not come down yet. He relaxed a little when he saw no signs of them.He turned back to Corinne and said quickly, "Now's not the time to joke around like that. Take Benjamin and leave before Sophia's father finds out you're here. Hurry!"Corinne smiled. "What are you afraid of?"Jeremy became a little anxious when he saw her not taking him seriously. "I'm being serious!""I know. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."'Yeah, right! She wouldn't be sitting here if she knew what she was doing!' thought Jeremy.While Corinne and Jeremy were talking, Benjamin—who came down with Corinne—and Bryan—who was sitting next to Jeremy—looked at each other.It was so bizarre! It was like they were looking at their own reflection in the mirror.It was the first

Corinne looked at Lilin with interest. "Huh? What are you talking about? What's different?"Lilin had an expression of surprise on her face. "Zachary's attitude toward you is far different from his attitude toward Sophia!"Corinne was very interested in this topic. She rested her chin in her palm and wiggled her eyebrows. "Oh? Is that so? How is it different? Tell me more, I want to hear it!"Jeremy wanted to slam the table. He would have picked Corinne up and sent her away if he was able to use his legs."Corinne! You…""Shh!" Corinne raised a finger to her lips, shooting him a look to rest his worries before turning back to Lilin and saying, "Please continue."Lilin was very happy to talk with Corinne."It's just… Zachary obviously cares about you while he's very indifferent toward Sophia. He rarely talks to her first, and his response to her is always very cold. I don’t know why she insists on keeping a man who clearly doesn't love her by her side."Corinne was very satisfie
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1641
Lilin then continued, "My father has always felt guilty toward Sophia because he was abroad when her mother was ill and couldn't return in time before she passed away. He's been riddled with this feeling of regret and wants to make amends for his neglect, but Sophia is a greedy little wench who exploits her father's love and feelings of indebtedness to manipulate him into doing her bidding. I hope you'll succeed in your quest for revenge! Sophia needs to suffer the consequences of her actions. Evil people should never be allowed to prevail!"Corinne looked at Lilin with admiration. She felt that the young girl had a strong sense of justice and a desire to stand up for the truth."Are you two done chatting?" Zachary's impatient, stern voice interrupted the conversation between the two girls.Corinne cocked an eyebrow at him. "Not yet! I'm getting along pretty well with this young lady, and I'd like to chat with her a bit more before I leave."Zachary frowned. "You're going to be the

Zachary smiled faintly. "I might not remember her, but a person's instinct doesn't lie. She…captivated me."Lilin did not quite understand it, but she said, "That's because you have good taste. Even though you don't remember her, you've never once fallen in love with that vile Sophia. I respect you for that!"Zachary pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your kind words. It won't be long before Sophia returns with your parents, so I must trouble you not to reveal what happened here."Lilin nodded. "Don't worry! I'm on your side!"…Adam and his wife, Melinda, made their way upstairs to find the VIP room that Lilin mentioned. As soon as they arrived, however, all they saw was the wait staff clearing away the used plates and cutlery from a meal that just concluded.The wait staff explained that the guests in the VIP room had finished their meal and left. Adam and Melinda could not help but feel disappointed, thinking that Lilin's claims might have some grain of truth. Even if it

"Have you met him yet?" Melinda asked."No, not yet."The concerned Melinda frowned. "Well, why don't you meet him, then? He's found you anyway. I know you've always been thinking about him."The woman's voice sank slightly. "I don't know how to face him, and I don't want to hear him talk about anything remotely related to that family. He's doing well, and I'm content with the occasional see updates about him in the financial news.""If you truly felt that way," Melinda said, "you'd be sleeping soundly right now instead of calling me to talk about it. Deep down, you know that it's not just your son who's been searching for you. Your son's father must be the same, too. He still cares about you, and doesn't a part of you still think about him?"The woman's tone turned bitter. "Does he? If he did, he wouldn't have gotten married at the drop of a hat. Don't sugarcoat this, Melinda."Melinda responded, "But I heard that their marriage is on paper only. A few years ago, the woman was s

Zachary glanced at Adam's face and shifted the conversation subtly. "What happened? Weren't you able to meet the savior?"Sophia had just taken her seat when she glared at Lilin. The little girl was eating without a care in the world, which only upset Sophia. "Who were we supposed to meet when no one was upstairs? The person had finished their meal and left! I think Lilin is just pranking us because she has nothing better to do."Lilin was taken aback by that accusation. She frowned at Sophia's insinuations before glancing at Zachary.Zachary's face seemed calm, but he was full of admiration for Lilin's craftiness. He realized that she had already cleared the VIP room in advance, which would explain why she could sit there so confidently!Sophia's accusation led Adam to suspect that Lilin was intentionally pranking them. He grumbled sternly, "When did you learn to play tricks on us?"Lilin considered retorting but caught a hint from Zachary's gaze. After a moment's thought, she ch

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
