"It's locked?" The baffled Doctor Kingsley walked over. He tried the door handle, but alas, it was indeed locked."That is strange. This room isn't usually locked since no one would want to steal the worthless junk inside. Who in the right mind would lock it?" he muttered.Sophia became convinced she definitely saw two people running to hide inside. 'Someone must've been spying on us. And they ran away to hide inside this utility room when they heard us coming out!'"Doctor Kingsley, I'll stand guard here while you go find the key for this utility room. I won't feel assured until I know for sure that no one is hiding inside," said Sophia.Even though Doctor Kingsley thought it was weird the utility room would be locked, he did not think anyone was hiding inside. After all, it was totally possible some nurse accidentally locked it after putting something inside. However, he did not dare to defy Sophia's order, so he went back to his consultation to take the key.Sophia stood outsid

"I'm sorry, Miss Sophia, but the surveillance camera here has been turned off since this part of the hospital has been abandoned," said Doctor Kingsley apologetically.Sophia was not happy with that news. She kept scanning the utility room alertly.Doctor Kingsley felt that Sophia was too paranoid for her own good, so he reminded her, "Miss Sophia, don't you want to check on how your husband is doing?"Sophia came back to her senses. 'Yes, it's more important to make sure Zachary is okay!'She gave the utility room one last scan before turning and said, "Let's go."She followed Doctor Kingsley out of the utility room and into the special examination room next door.Silence returned to the utility room after the door closed. A minute later, the door of a closet on the balcony where fire fighting equipment was stored was pushed open from the inside, and three people walked out one after another.Sunny kept coughing as it was so dusty inside. He, Lucas, and Xante were squeezed into

Sunny frowned. "Didn't Sophia discuss something about collecting Jeremy's 'seed'? If Corinne's with Jeremy, then..."Xante understood everything as soon as she heard Sophia's conversation with the man in the white coat. Her curiosity dissipated, and she was concerned solely for Corinne's safety. "What should we do now, Mister Lucas?"The doctor unlocked the special examination room with a key. It was dark inside since the curtains were drawn. A lewd film was playing on the screen, and the actors were making some equally lewd sounds.Sophia immediately expressed her discomfort after entering and witnessing the scene. She frowned and looked around for Zachary, but he was nowhere to be seen."What's going on, Doctor? Where's my husband? Didn't you say there would be a nurse with him? Where is she? Why isn't there anyone here?"The doctor was puzzled by that scene as well. "I have no idea what's happening either. This room was locked. No one could've come in here."Sophia grew anxiou

Zachary was fully dressed and appeared remarkably composed. Many would find it challenging to discern his true intentions.Sophia asked awkwardly, "Did everything go smoothly?""It did, thanks to you," Zachary said with a chuckle.For some reason, Sophia's chest tightened as she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. The feeling was almost agonizing, even. Zachary's answer seemed to imply that he and the female nurse had gotten along very well, a thought that enraged Sophia as soon as she connected the dots.The doctor came over and asked respectfully, "Where did our female nurse go? Why isn't she around?"Zachary looked coldly at the doctor and said, "She got what she wanted and left.""But why is her phone switched off?" the doctor asked curiously."How should I know?" Zachary retorted. "I'm merely a patient. Though we did share a rather intimate moment today, I'm not the person you should be asking about her phone."The doctor became a little awkward. "You're right. I apologize fo

Sunny was the first to speak up. "What did you do with Jeremy there? And what happened to the nurse?"Corinne blushed and struggled to find the words to answer him.Xante nudged Sunny with her elbow and signaled for him to stop talking. She then stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"Corinne nodded. "I'm fine. Why are you here, though?"Xante glanced at Sunny with disgust. "He tricked me into coming here, and I happened to see Sophia once I arrived. She seemed fishy, so I joined and found out."Corinne looked at the two of them and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Have you met Sunny's parents, then?"Xante's face stiffened, and a blush appeared on her typically calm and composed expression. "It's not what you think it is."Sunny leaned over to Xante and said, "It's exactly what you think it is! I brought Xante to meet Dad, and he's pretty happy with her! I'm confident he'll agree to our marriage and we can—ah!"Xante elbowed him—more forcefully the second time—and sil

Xante frowned and explained, "Because your brother's people won't allow her to spill the beans once she wakes up. Just because you saw him leave doesn't mean he's not going to deal with her.""So that's it!" Sunny said, folding his arms. "Why must all of you talk in circles? I can't even understand a single thing!""That's because you're dumb!" Xante said.Sunny protested, "Don't call your husband dumb!""Let's get moving already!"Meanwhile…Zachary had kept quiet ever since he got into an RV. He sat in the wheelchair and gazed out the window at the passing scenery. Sophia, on the other hand, felt uneasy even though he was just as aloof as always."Are you hungry, Zachary? Should we grab something to eat before going back to the hotel?" Sophia cautiously attempted to initiate a conversation."Oh? Did you make arrangements at the restaurant that you're going to bring me to?" replied Zachary sardonically. "What else are you plotting this time? Have you told the chefs to spike t
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1695
If Zachary were to discover that everything was a lie she told just to keep him by her side, he would rather die than be with her or say another word to her. There would be zero chance to reconcile, and even the coldness he displayed toward her would completely cease to exist.Sophia took a deep breath and projected confidence. "What are you talking about, Zachary? Why would I lie to you? You're my husband, and we had a child before your car accident. I want to have another child because I don't want Benjamin to be so lonely. Don't you think he's keeping to himself more and more? Besides, I love kids, and I'd like to have a daughter too. Being a family of four will make things much livelier at home with Benjamin having another playmate. Don't you think that's a good thing, Zachary?"Sophia was skilled at conjuring up reasonable explanations, and Zachary was used to her ways. He let out a cold huff and said, "And did that necessitate the use of such a disgusting method?"Sophia's exp

Sophia was startled. "No! I... I was anxious because I wanted to comfort you..."Zachary looked at her coldly. "You've never wanted me to regain the ability to walk, do you?"Sophia reached out her hand to try and hold him. "Why would I think that way? You're my husband..."Zachary waved her hand away coldly and said, "Thanks to you, I'm very exhausted after what happened. Could you please be quiet for a while?"Sophia opened her mouth as if to say something, but her expression froze instantly. She had to calm herself down for a moment before closing her mouth and sitting quietly to one side.When Zachary said he was 'very exhausted after what happened', Sophia's mind immediately recalled what happened between him and the female nurse in that special examination room earlier. She became angrier with every passing thought, but she knew she had no right to lose her temper or be jealous since she arranged everything herself.The ride remained silent until the car stopped in front of

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
