Chapter 2701

Sherman turned toward Rita and said, "Has anyone ever told you that displaying vulnerability at the right moment can yield greater results with less effort?""Why are you telling me this too? Is my character too hard-headed?" Rita responded with a helpless smile, but it seemed to strike a chord within Sherman. He had to stop for a moment and blink quickly to dispel that sudden surge of emotion.Rita's smile was captivating, and he felt as though he would willingly relinquish all the treasures of the world just to witness her smile more often. It was no wonder that she remained an elusive person. She had the kind of smile that would forever be etched in the memory of those who saw it."A friend of mine said the same thing before I came to this dinner. I thought my attitude and character were pretty decent," said Rita. She soon noticed Sherman spacing out and asked curiously, "Mister Sherman?"Sherman finally snapped back to his senses, much to his own embarrassment."Ah...where was

Rita had interjected to stop Vince from saying any more nonsense. She admired Sherman, but admiring someone of the opposite gender did not mean it should always lead to romantic feelings or marriage. The older generations tended to talk about the kind of things that always left a sour taste in her mouth. Furthermore, Sherman could see through their family's scheming behavior, and Vince's attempt to set them up would only reflect poorly on the family.Sherman maintained his characteristic faint smile throughout the conversation, yet his decision to never cooperate with the Russells again became more resolute. Vince's machinations were utterly excessive, and Sherman would have left long ago if he had not gained a better second impression of Rita as a person.The entire situation felt unbearably tedious.Once Rita managed to persuade her father to depart. She apologized to Sherman, "I'm sorry about that. By the way, didn't you mention having matters to attend to at the company? You can

Chapter 2703

A missing bangle should not be that big of a deal for the Russell family. Vince felt that Karen had lost her mind to publicly bring up the subject on such an occasion. Vince mustered a smile and said, "That won't be necessary, Gina. It's merely a bangle. There's no need for everyone to get so worked up about it."In any case, our banquet today has come to an end. It's getting late, and we really appreciate your presence with us today. We wish you all a safe journey home."He wanted nothing more than to expedite the departure of the onlookers. Otherwise, the Russells' reputation would be marred by the incident in social circles the following day.Unexpectedly, Karen burst into tears and turned to Gina. "So, you do understand how important it is to me! That bangle was a memento left by my late mother-in-law. I wouldn't have made such a big fuss if it was any old bangle. I understand that everyone here has no reason to take it, so I know it must've been misplaced somewhere. Since you'r

Tears streamed down Karen's face as she glanced at Rita. Her voice trembled with emotion as she asked, "Why would you do this, Rita? This bangle might not hold much value to you, but it's the last memento I have of my mother. I'm sorry if I have done anything wrong to you in the past, but this bangle is precious to me. You can't use that to play one of your jokes on me. Please give it back."Before Rita could firmly grasp what was happening, her grip tightened around the champagne flute. She offered a shocked smile. "What are you talking about? What bangle are you referring to? I didn't see any bangle."Sadie added fuel to the fire. "Did you do it because I offended you? If I have, then I apologize too. This bangle is very important to my mother. Return it right now. We're family, and we should resolve any differences between us through discussion, not this sick practical joke."Had it not been for the presence of so many guests, Rita would have erupted in anger. Sadie's statements

The person did not expect Gina to support Rita in such a manner and declined to take up that challenge. After all, the stock market was unpredictable, and no one could share the same level of confidence as Gina when it came to that."We've known each other for so many years, Vince. Let's leave today's events as it is. Rita would never stoop to such a level, and you should at least try to trust your daughter a little more," Gina implored.Vince knew that it was a gentle reminder from one of his first wife's closest friends. Gina only said that because she acknowledged that her best friend once loved that man.However, Karen was crying incessantly, leading Vince to wonder if the bangle truly held that much sentimental value from her late mother-in-law.Vince looked at Rita hesitantly. "Be honest, Rita. Did you do it? I promise I'll trust whatever you say."Rita stared at her father in disbelief. He said he would believe her, yet his act of posing such a question in public had amount

Sadie pretended to be magnanimous and considerate, which only disgusted Rita further."I'm only going to say it once: I didn't do it. Even if you and your mother want to falsely accuse me, I didn't do it. I don't know how you managed to retrieve this surveillance footage, but Dad, I'm telling you, I didn't do it. If you want to suspect your own daughter, then I guess nothing I say can ever change your mind," said Rita.She looked squarely at Vince, giving her father one last chance.Since Rita had said so, Vince had no choice but to brush the matter aside quickly. After all, there were so many people watching their family's drama."Alright, maybe you accidentally misplaced the bangle somewhere? Maybe it got knocked under the table accidentally? Quickly have the servants search for it. Everyone, there's no need to stay here. This is just a joke between my wife and daughter. Goodbye, now."He could not wait to send the guests away. After all, if they lingered any longer, who knew ho

All the guests were all somewhat surprised. They had not expected Rita to smile and carry on with such ease and humor after experiencing such a situation. They could not help but feel that she truly lived up to the status of being a well-bred young lady of the Russells.In contrast, Sadie was fuming in the background. 'Who does Rita think she is to steal the spotlight like this? What a shameless, despicable person! She had been accused of stealing Mom's bangle, yet she could still smile. This chick's mental resilience is remarkable.'"Rita, are you trying to get away by changing the topic? You haven't given Mom an explanation yet," said Sadie.It was no wonder the others thought Sadie was a less well-bred version of Rita.The guests could not help but wonder if they needed to stick around and wait for them to resolve the matter. Even if Rita did break Karen's bangle, so what? What did it have to do with them?They had shown enough face to the Russells by staying this long. Rita ha

"Camille, how can you say that? She has a good mother who's ambitious. Even if Sadie wasn't born a Russell, she can still rise in the world."The guests were quite audacious. After all, they were all from more powerful families than the Russells.Rita had not expected things to escalate to this extent.Camille fell silent."Alright, how long do we have to keep up this farce? Please, go home, all of you," said Rita.Vince remained silent with a grim expression while Rita attended to the remaining guests. Karen, on the other hand, was too ashamed to lift her head. Even her carefully prepared tears had dried on her face.Having shared a bed with Vince for so many years, she knew that the thing he cared about the most in the world was his reputation.When Vince first moved Karen and Sadie, he was still in his honeymoon phase, unable to think clearly. However, after years had passed, he finally came to his senses. He knew that many people in his circle sarcastically called him a 'sav

"Huh? Did I raise you just so you could talk back to me like this? And don't get me started on your job! It's not even a proper job! You're just exchanging five or six hours a day for a monthly salary of four hundred dollars! What's the point of that?"And what's even worse is the whole world now knows I let my daughter go work as an errand girl! Do you know what my friend Neal said to me the last time we had coffee? He said that no matter how busy I am with my career, I should take good care of my daughter. I shouldn't let you run around and do this kind of work. I didn't know how to respond to him. Should I have said that my daughter was eager to experience hardships?"Rita knew where her father stood in society. He would not be particularly understanding of the work of grassroots journalists like her, but she never imagined that her father would think of her like this."I'm doing the work of a journalist; it's a legitimate job. If you have nothing good to say about it, you can ju

"I always feel like every decision I've made since you left has been wrong. But no matter what, I can't go back to the past. It would've been so much better if you were still here. No matter how many women I meet after you've gone, they can never compare to you... Taya."Karen had followed Vince upstairs, intending to explain a few things. She did not expect him to be reminiscing about his late wife in the study.Sadie, standing beside her, asked with a worried look, "Mom, what you did tonight was risky. If it weren't for the lingering feelings between you and Dad, he might've been very angry. Why didn't you discuss it with me first? We could've used the matter better to our advantage! It's such a pity that Rita was able to get herself off the hook so easily.""I didn't have time to think it through. Didn't you see how Sherman and Rita spent a long time together in their own little world? Vince looks satisfied with Sherman too. What if he has ideas about matching them up?"Sadie as
