The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 79
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

Richard was stupefied by Francine's sudden switch. "Missus Holden, how could you turn your back on me? You're the reason I got caught!""You have the wrong person! I—I have no idea who you are! Let go of me, and stay away from me!" The disgusted Francine tried to stop Richard from grabbing her clothes.She scolded the officers, "What are you guys waiting for? Bring this criminal in now! Why are you letting him talk nonsense here? Don't you see him scaring me?"After that, Francine quickly walked to the front and tried to pull Pamela away. "Grandma, let's go. There are too many dangerous people here!"Richard fumed as he got dragged away by the police officers. He struggled and shouted, "Missus Holden, you're dumping me after you used me, pretending not to know me?! Fine! Don't blame me for doing this. You forced me into this!"With that, Richard turned to look at the policemen. "Sir, I'd like to make a report. It's her! She's the one who asked me to do it! She's the mastermind!"

The interaction between both Corinne and Jeremy suggested they were in a relationship. It did not look like a sweet and loving relationship, but somehow, people could easily be convinced they were in one.'Did Mister Jeremy save her?' Richard thought with a face of disbelief. He guessed, "Did you manage to move up the ladder from being just his mistress?"Corinne raised her hand proudly and looked at the man beside him. "Mister, do you hear him calling me your mistress? What are you going to do about that?"The way she complained like a little kid was too extremely adorable. Jeremy narrowed his eyes at her while his lips curved up.He raised his head and glared at Richard from a condescending angle. "Who's the mistress? Say it again."Richard shrugged nervously. "Err…her. Is she not?"Tommy approached and said strictly, "Excuse me. Miss Corinne is my employer's legally married wife. The only Missus Holden."What?! Richard got the scare of his life.That meant… Everything he saw

Francine was brought into the interrogation room by the officer for questioning, which lasted more than 20 minutes.When the officer left the room, Tommy went over to ask about the details on behalf of the Holdens. He returned to Jeremy and Pamela to report the information he received."Sir, Ma'am, the police concluded their investigation. Miss Francine colluded with a middle-aged man called Richard Channing to set up Miss Corinne today. The police had found evidence of them contacting each other using their phones. Miss Francine agreed to bring Miss Corinne out of the house to the shopping mall, where they'd later team up to knock out Miss Corinne, bring her to the hotel, and set her up like an escort while setting up a man to assault her."Miss Corinne happened to have lost her wallet and phone, and a woman who wore the same clothing as Miss Corinne found her lost wallet and phone. Thus, Richard Channing got the wrong person. He put a bag over the woman's head, knocked her out, an

Francine was so angry that she did not know how to argue. With gritted teeth, she said, "You're still a disgusting, hideous two-faced woman, acting pure and naive with Jeremy and my grandmother when you plotted so many things behind them!"Corinne smiled. "So I'm a pure woman and a bad one too? I have thousands of different faces. Good people see my good side, and bad people see my bad side. Miss Francine, why don't you think of the things you did before running your mouth at me like this?"This young lady had the face of an angel yet was able to laugh so menacingly like a devil, taking revenge on those who tried to hurt her.A chill crept up Francine's back. "Devil! Y—You're a devil!"Corinne raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's up to you how you treat me if I'm a devil or not. I warned you before, though. I told you to not mess with me, but you refused to listen."At this point, Francine accepted she had lost, yet she did not understand one thing. "So how did you do it? You're the

Corinne looked at Francine as her carefree demeanor dropped, revealing a more serious behavior. It was time to talk business."The only reason I came in to tell you all of this is that I want to let you know you don't have to do all this just to kick me out of the house. When the time comes, I'll leave on my own. Even when you want me to stay a second longer, I won't."Francine was stunned. She asked curiously, "When the time comes? What do you mean?"Corinne raised an eyebrow. "You don't know? The reason your brother married me is that he wanted to gladden your grandfather, preventing his health from worsening. Three months from now, when your grandfather's health is stabilized, our marriage will end. At that time, my job is done. You can let whoever you want be your sister-in-law."Francine frowned as she found it hard to believe. "Why should I believe you'll leave when the time comes? Don't try to fool me. I've seen all types of women; they're always on the lookout for new ideas

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
