The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 74
"And what did the police say?" Jeremy said while calmly reading the weekly financial report.Tommy replied, "The police are still conducting their investigation and interrogating the suspects. There hasn't been any word yet."Such things happen every day in countries all over the world, so nothing was surprising about what happened. It was not worth all the huge fuss.Jeremy sipped his coffee and ordered, "Get the media to tone down on the reports while we wait for the results of the investigation. We'll respond to the public opinion based on the official announcement.""Understood!" Tommy nodded, but his expression soon turned less calm than before. He had to put a lot of strain on himself to utter his next sentence and say, "Sir, there are rumors that the name of the woman suspected of being an escort is...Corinne Carew.”Jeremy finally lifted his handsome face out of the financial weekly newspaper, with his gaze turning sharp all of a suddenTommy had a regretful look. "I didn

Everyone listened as a very serious voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, this is Eastbridge Police Station. May I ask if this is Corinne's home?"Bowen looked up and glanced at Jeremy to seek his instructions. He only dared to reply when Jeremy nodded slightly. "Is something the matter?"The policeman on the other end of the line said, "If you're a family member of Corinne's, we ask that you please come to Eastbridge Police Station right now. We require your assistance to verify certain matters."The call then ended.Pamela could not bear what she just heard and slumped down on the sofa.Francine became even more frantic. "Did you hear that, Grandma? The police station just called us! The woman arrested has to be Corinne! How could she bring herself to do such a thing? She's let you down even after all the care and love that you've shown her!"Pamela was heartbroken and found herself unable to accept it.Jeremy got up, grabbed his suit jacket from the sofa, and sai

With the call on speaker mode, the same police officer spoke through the phone, "Corinne Carew, someone had taken your wallet and phone. They've even used your name to book a room in a hotel. Please come to the station now to clarify if the wallet and phone belong to you and check if there are any losses."Corinne replied politely, "Alright. I understand. Thank you very much, officer.""You're welcome," the officer replied.Corinne looked at Francine pointedly after she hung up the phone. "Is that it? When is losing something a scandal? Francine, please enlighten me by telling me why you think the police are looking for me?"Francine was stunned. For a minute there, her brain stopped working. 'Why have things turned out differently from what's planned? The police were looking for Corinne because she lost something?' she thought."Oh, Corinne. I'm so happy that you're fine! I'm really glad that you're fine! What a scare. I was nearly scared to death." Pamela patted her chest to rel

"Corinne, my dear. For my sake, can you…" Pamela still wondered if she could bring a truce to both people…Corinne stood firm. "Grandma, this isn't the first time. Last time, she brought you to the art gallery to catch me having an affair. This time, she insisted I was the escort and called me these dreadful names. I can't forgive someone who keeps insulting and wronging me. Besides, she never apologized to me sincerely. I hope you can understand this, Grandma."Pamela sighed helplessly. Of course, she could understand why Corinne was so upset. No girl would like to be involved in those scandals, and it was normal for Corinne to be so angry. Francine had indeed gone overboard in both incidents.'Francine, this girl… She's too spoiled. It's time to teach her some manners, but she's so weak… Sigh! Nevermind. Corinne said she was going to let it pass,' Pamela thought.Francine knew her grandmother would never punish her. She raised an eyebrow at Corinne arrogantly and gloated. 'So wha

Thus, Francine drove her car and secretly followed them to the police station.…At the police station.The officer returned Corinne's belongings to her and said, "Kindly check if this wallet and phone are yours. If they are, proceed to check inside to see if you lost anything else."Corinne cooperated by opening her wallet to check and looking at her phone to see if the thief had used her phone. She said, "That's right. These are my wallet and phone. Nothing is missing."The police officer nodded solemnly. "Please sign here, and you can take your belongings with you. Remember to be careful in the future. You won't be so lucky to get it back the next time you lost it!"Corinne listened carefully and smiled politely. "Yes, I'll be careful in the future. Thank you, officer!"Pamela accompanied by her side like a kind, well-mannered old lady. She expressed her gratitude to the officer and complimented them for their effort and hard work.Jeremy's tall, muscular figure stood not to

Francine did not dare to tell them the reason why she came to the police station. She was afraid Jeremy and Pamela would stop her. Therefore, she walked past them and entered the police station to ask the question that was troubling her."Mister officer, I'd like to ask if there is a male and female being detained because they were conducting illegal activity in Holden International Hotel?"The officer looked at her and answered truthfully, "Yes, there is. What's the matter?"Francine requested, "Can I meet the woman who got detained? I think I know her!"It just did not make sense to her. Corinne should be the one who got detained, but how did Corinne go back home safe and sound? Thus, she had to make sure with her own eyes the detained woman was not Corinne. Otherwise, she just could not let it go!However, the police officer shook his head. "Unfortunately, the suspected female lawbreaker ran away during the arrest. My colleagues are still looking for her at this moment."'That

Corinne looked calm as she gave Jeremy a sarcastic smile. "What's wrong? Are you thinking I'm suspicious, too?"The corners of Jeremy's lips quirked upward. "Suspicious of what? Suspecting you'd sell yourself to a lousy man as your graduation present?"Corinne was startled at first, but she regained her senses and rolled her eyes. 'Can't he tell what situation I'm in now? Why does he still have the luxury to tease me? Though, does that mean he's not doubting me?'She ignored Jeremy and looked at the officer. "Sir, what do you need me to do to cooperate with the investigation?"The policeman sternly instructed, "Please follow me.""Corinne…" Pamela grabbed Corinne's arm worriedly.Corinne smiled back at Pamela while feeling sorry. "Sorry, Grandma, but I guess I can't bring you to dinner today."Pamela was shocked. "Corinne, are you really…"Corinne said nothing and followed the officer to the interrogation room at the back.When she walked past Francine, Francine smiled as if s

Francine turned around to point her finger at Corinne. "It's you! It's one of your tricks again! You must've found this woman to take the blame!"Corinne spread her arms innocently. "Francine, are you only going to be satisfied when I'm the escort as you'd hope?"Francine replied unhappily, "What do you mean, as I'd hope? You are the escort!"All of a sudden, a swift smack landed on Francine's cheek, and it made a crisp sound.Pamela panted, having slapped her granddaughter in rage."Are you not finished, Francine!? After the scene you caused at home, here you are in the police station, causing another scene! Corinne is your sister-in-law! Why do you keep on humiliating her like this?!""Grandma, did you just slap me?" The flabbergasted Francine raised a hand to lightly cover her burning cheek. She whimpered, "You never hit me since I was a child, yet you slapped me because of Corinne?"Pamela's heart went soft when she saw tears dropping from her granddaughter's eyes. Neverthel

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
