The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 453
Corinne was too lazy to explain herself. Instead, she asked, "So you're okay with Anya getting engaged with someone from the Holden family?"A look of resignation flashed across Lucas' face. "Considering my family's stance on this, I, for one, don't wish to see them getting married because my elders will rain down their disapproval on me. But, my sister is too stubborn to ever let Jeremy go. It's as if she'll die if she's not with him, and as her brother, it's my job to protect her and make sure she lives happily ever after with the man she loves. I'll never forgive those who wish her harm so I hope you can understand where I'm coming from, Miss Carew."Corinne looked quietly at Lucas. Suddenly, she smiled. "Yes, I do understand where you're coming from. She's lucky to have a brother like you."Lucas could not tell whether she was being sincere in her praise but he did not care one way or another. He did his job in warning her so that if she knew what was good for her, she would sta

Hearing this, both Lucas and Edmund looked her up and down in unison.After two seconds of silence, Lucas narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "You know Aburian?"Corinne smiled. "A little."Edmund snorted. 'Why, this woman would lie through her teeth to achieve her goals,' he thought. His impression of her took a nosedive as compared to when he was interviewing her just now."Miss Carew, you do know this job requires you to be fluent in the language, right? Knowing hello or goodbye doesn't count so please don't butt in while I'm speaking with Mister Lucas."Corinne's resume did not say that she knew any foreign languages so it was understandable Edmund did not believe her when she said she knows a little Aburian. 'Why wouldn't she list that down in her resume if she knows Aburian?'Corinne remained calm. "I might not be at the native level but I'm pretty confident that I can be of help to the client."Edmund scoffed. This time, he chose to say anything to her and instead,

"Yes, Mister Lucas."Edmund had no choice but to do what Lucas said. He turned around, threw Corinne a disgusted glance, and said huffily, "Miss Carew, please follow me."Corinne nodded, yawned lazily, and followed him out of the office.…At the hotel, the Aburian clients are staying.Three men dressed in exotic clothes were dining in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel. They were talking in a foreign language, and their tone and expressions were very serious and unhappy as if they were complaining about something that made them angry.Not far from the restaurant, Edmund passed Corinne the details about the project. "The three men there are the clients. Do you need me to take you there?" he asked coldly.Corinne waved her hand. "No. I can go by myself."That was just fine with Edmund since he did not have the intention to take her there anyway. He did not want to experience second-hand embarrassment in case Corinne did something unexpected to embarrass herself.In his mind

Jeremy said calmly, "No, the food was just served not too long ago."Lucas smiled. Everybody started to dig in and did nothing else.Anya was in a good mood. She cut a slice of foie gras on her plate, affectionately brought it to Jeremy's mouth, and said with a sweet smile, "Jeremy, hurry up and try the foie gras here. I feel it's much tastier than the one we had in Kecharia. The texture is smooth and it melts in your mouth!""No need, thanks. Have it yourself."Jeremy did not look at her. He did not even bat an eyelid. He just put the piece of steak that he cut into his mouth indifferently, then chewed it slowly to savor it with all great focus.After he rejected the food she fed him, Anya's smile stiffened and she froze in place.She felt it would be very awkward if she took the foie gras back angrily. After giving it a thought, she used her knife to forcefully and carefully get the piece of foie gras off her fork. Then, she put it on the edge of Jeremy's plate before saying, "

Anya left her seat to get the cake.Lucas watched her sister walk off before he looked at Jeremy, who was sitting across from him, and his gaze became dignified. "Jeremy, don't you think you're too cold to Anya?"Jeremy looked up at him. "Is this your first day knowing me?"Lucas was speechless.Jeremy was right. They knew each other since childhood and were in the same social circle.Jeremy indeed was always indifferent growing up. He was never too friendly to anybody.However, at the thought of his sister, whom he doted on since childhood, would be marrying a man who had no clue how to care for a girl at all in the future, Lucas could not help but sigh. He had no idea what Anya saw in him!Lucas did not hold Jeremy responsible for his attitude toward Anya earlier anymore. He got down to business with him."Jeremy, I already know that you and Anya adopted a child abroad behind both your parents' backs."Jeremy stopped cutting his steak a little, then he continued.Lucas co

Lucas said, "It's because Anya saved you back then that her body was damaged by the snake's venom and lost the ability to bear children forever! You should know without me telling you how much it would hurt physically and psychologically for a girl to lose the chance to be a mother from a young age! Besides, it's Anya's dream to be a mother since childhood! It's because of you that she could never fulfill her dream! How could you be so indifferent to her now?"Jeremy's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he said nothing.What Lucas said was indeed the truth.When he got injured 15 years ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while he hid in a bush in a village to flee from danger. As the venom spread, he was on the brink of death, and he lost his vision; so he could not save himself.He was saved by a girl who passed by. It was because she sucked the venom out of his wound that he managed to live!Later, the girl found him with the keepsake he left for her. It was only then he lear

Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm."We didn't get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It's an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I understand that you're worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can't give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I'm sorry."Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. "I'm done with my lunch. I have a meeting later in the afternoon, so I'll first be taking my leave."He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for argument.Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up angrily and said, "Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?"At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, "What's the matter? Where are you goi

Ten years?Abura's mineral resources were highly sought after by both domestic and foreign companies, and plenty of corporations from powerful countries were eyeing this collaboration. That was why the person in charge from Abura was always been fearless and arrogant. He was also famously difficult to manage.At first, the Rivera Group only wanted to get a deal with Abura to collaborate for the next five years. However, the crown prince of Abura did not agree. He said he would only agree to sign for three years at most, and the terms of collaboration would be renegotiated after three years.Even if it was just a three-year collaboration, it was a deal that was hard to finalize.Corinne was gone over for an hour, yet she got a deal for a ten-year collaboration.Lucas was slightly dazed, and he looked a little surprised. "She could speak Aburian?"Edmund answered with great certainty, "Yes, she's very fluent, and she seems to be very humorous. The person in charge from Abura was so

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
