The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 307
Gabriel replied in a polite yet solemn manner, "I'm a lawyer, Mister Lucas, and my duty is to ensure the fairest result for my client in addition to clearing her name. No one should be left to bear the consequences of actions that they haven't done."Lucas chuckled. "If you say so, then. I'm curious to know how you can prove her innocence, given how solid the evidence is."Corinne sat according to the arrangement designated by the police officers. After a while, the gangster who attacked Anya was brought in by another police officer. Anya immediately cowered in fear into her brother's arms when she saw the man, and Lucas could only hug her as a means of comfort. There was a murderous tinge in his expression when he glanced up at the gangster.Gabriel then began to ask, "We met yesterday, so I won't make another introduction. Could you please repeat your crimes as you have committed them?"Chris had already pleaded guilty, so there was no point trying to argue. He nodded earnestly a

Gabriel went out to give the witnesses a call.Rosie stood up, crossed her arms over her chest, and walked up to Corinne. She then said in a kind and almost-persuasive tone, "Don't think that you can clear your name just because you managed to hire a big-shot lawyer! How dare you hire someone to hurt Anya? Lucas will never allow you to get away with it! My advice? Stop trying to resist and just accept the punishment of the law. You might even be able to get a lighter sentence if you show a good attitude!"Corinne looked up, glanced at Rosie, and could not be bothered to entertain the woman's pointless tirade.Rosie was frustrated when Corinne ignored her, and she was extremely unhappy because her provoking never had the intended effect. It was as if there was never a situation where Corinne would lose her composure, and it seemed that nothing was capable of stirring her emotions. Her ever-calm demeanor made Rosie feel like slapping her out of curiosity to know if she could feel pain

The little boy's belief in his father seemed to have collapsed, and he took a step back with a hurt expression. "Why did you do bad things, Dad? Didn't you always teach me to be a good person? How could you do this? You're not my dad anymore! I don't want a dad like you...""Don't talk to Dad like that, Kenny!" After the little boy came in, a plainly-dressed woman walked in too. Once she told her son off, she looked at her husband with a heartbroken expression and said, "Aren't you going to tell the truth, Chris? Do you want to let our son forever live with the shadow of having a criminal as a father?"Chris heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his wife and son appearing safe and sound. Even so, he felt ashamed to face them too, and he lowered his head to say, "I'm glad that you and Kenny are all right. That's… That's all that matters to me.""Yes, Chris. Everything's okay now. We were saved!" The woman leaned on her husband's shoulder with reddened eyes. "Why did you have to be so s

Before Chris revealed who it was that manipulated him, he bowed at Corinne and apologized guiltily. "I'm very, very sorry for what I did, Miss Corinne. I did it under coercion, and I had no choice but to frame you. I'm sorry that I nearly caused an innocent person like you to be imprisoned."Corinne had an indifferent expression, and she shook her head while saying, "It's okay. You just need to tell the truth and clear my name.""I promise I will, Miss Corinne!"Chris then began to tell the police the true story of what happened."It all started like this. I was distributing flyers on the shore of Yonder River the other day, and I was sitting on a bench to rest for some time because I was too tired. There was this girl sitting beside me in a daze, and I figured I could just hand out a leaflet to her while I was resting."I was doing my best to promote the barbecue restaurant to Miss Corinne that day, and she was kind enough to listen patiently to everything I have to say, unlike m

Rosie stood up in astonishment and shook her head violently. "It wasn't me! You're talking nonsense! Make such statements again, and I'll sue you for defamation!"Chris did not argue with her. He turned around and said confidently to the police officer, "It's her. She asked me to do all this. She followed Miss Corinne from the Lunar Century Manor to the shore of Yonder River, and she chose me to do the job because she saw Corinne talking to me when I was distributing flyers!"She picked up the cell phone that Miss Corinne dropped and used her cell phone to transfer the money to me in advance. She then deleted the transfer record and asked someone else to send the phone to the police station and act as if they came across the cell phone by chance."Each step was carefully calculated by her to make Miss Corinne the prime suspect!"After hearing that, Anya got up from Lucas's arms in shock and looked at her best friend in disbelief. "Rosie! How could you do something like that? I told

Corinne smiled. "Oh? So you insist that they pursue this matter until the end if I was the suspect, but now you're telling me not to pursue it because your best friend is now the suspect? This is double standards of the highest order!"Anya was a little embarrassed. "I... I never thought of pursuing the matter. It was my brother who couldn't accept that someone was out to hurt me, so he..."Corinne's hands were ironically still in handcuffs, and she leaned lazily on the chair as she said, "Sorry, Miss Anya, but I don't want to listen to you talk anymore. Let's leave it to the police to get to the bottom of the matter."Anya lowered her head, but she was still determined to plead on Rosie's behalf. "I'm sorry, Corinne. It was our fault for blaming you, but Rosie is my best friend. I hope you find it in your heart to be more magnanimous..."Corinne ignored Anya outright and glanced instead at the calm-looking Lucas just nearby. "You love your sister dearly, don't you, Mister Lucas? I

When Corinne was gone, Anya came over anxiously and asked, "What'll happen to Rosie now?"Lucas came back to his senses and said solemnly to his sister, "She's an adult now. She can think for herself. It's only just for her to bear the consequences of her actions.""But Rosie's my best friend! We can't just leave her alone...""Enough. I don't want to hear a word of it. You should go home with Sunny."…Inside the police station's restroom, Corinne came out after washing her hands, and Gabriel—who had been waiting for her in the corridor—stepped forward and respectfully handed her a tissue. After that, he handed his cell phone to her and said, "Mister Aaron called. He wants to talk to you."Corinne took the tissue and wiped her hands before answering the call.Aaron's voice came from the other end. "How's everything, boss? You okay there?""Everything's fine. You did a good job of finding the witnesses in time, so you'll get a reward once I'm back."Aaron answered awkwardly, "

Corinne turned around and understood what Jeremy meant when she saw that he was looking in the direction that Gabriel's car left."Oh, he used to be my senior in my alma mater's law department. He's a very friendly guy, and it's all thanks to him that I got out of this mess.""Friendly?" Jeremy stubbed the half-smoked cigarette and stared at her with his bottomless eyes. "Your senior is well-known throughout the entire city as the most difficult lawyer to hire, yet he was willing to help his former university junior. He must have an exceedingly good relationship with you." He was clearly questioning her.Corinne did not want to explain to him because she did not want to reveal her identity, and she could not think of any reasonable explanation at that moment.If she said too much, she might accidentally let something slip, so she chose to remain silent.Then, Annie popped out of nowhere with a small bucket. She dipped a big sprig of sage leaves in the bucket of water and flung the

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
