Chapter 2751

Rita seethed with annoyance, but her irritation paled in comparison to the shock that hit her when she received a message from Camille.[What happened? Were you assaulted last night?]Camille's message contained a photo that froze Rita in her tracks—the image of the drunkard hugging her thigh. She did not know how or why it was plastered across the headlines. Whoever wrote the piece clearly had provocative intentions.[Drunkard Can't Bear to Part with Beautiful Female Reporter—Stay Tuned for More Updates!]Rita shuddered. Nothing had taken place between her and the drunkard except for the beating that she gave him. However, the photo could easily cause misunderstandings, and the language used for the headline was so vivid that she could not fathom how her father might react upon seeing it.When Camille did not receive any reply from Rita after waiting for some time, she decided to phone Rita."What happened, Rita? Is that you in the news? Did the man assault you yesterday? Why di

"Vince! Have you seen this news?" Karen burst into Vince's office and was visibly distressed.Vince glanced up from the document he was reading. "What's with you today? Can't you see I'm busy? How many times must I remind you to act with grace and composure? You're the Russells' missus now. You cannot act like you did in the past."Karen clutched her chest in agitation. "You can't expect me to stay calm after reading this news. I rushed here the moment I saw this! Here, see for yourself!""What could possibly make you so—" Vince initially gave the news a casual glance, but his expression soon soured as he digested the headline and the accompanying photo."This is preposterous!" he exclaimed, slamming his hand on the solid wood table.Karen flinched at first, but she immediately grabbed his hand and inspected it to make sure he did not hurt himself. She soon found that it was entirely red. "You can get angry, but don't hurt yourself by accident because of that anger," she implored.

Karen tried to comfort him, but at the same time, she found an opportunity to insert a casual suggestion. "First and foremost, I believe we should ask Rita to come home. We need to know if she's been assaulted. If so, we'll have to involve the police, don't you think?"Vince appeared somewhat uneasy. "I can't bring myself to ask her that. I warned her long ago not to pursue a career in journalism, but she chose to disregard my advice. Where did that bring her now? Having to answer to people is bad enough. Now she got herself violated by someone."The image of Rita being gripped tightly by a drunken assailant was heartbreaking for Vince."You're right." Vince snapped back resolutely to his senses. "I'll tell her to come back home and ask her about what happened. If she didn't do anything, then we will have to clear her name as quickly as possible. I don't want her to be judged by other people."Karen nodded. "You're right. That is the best course of action. I'm just worried Rita mig

Above all, however, there was one problem Rita had to go through first—confronting her father's interrogation.That evening, as she entered her family home and changed her shoes in the hallway, she noticed Donna shaking her head subtly at her."Your father isn't in a good mood," Donna remarked quietly.Rita nodded. She knew that Donna cared about her and always had a knack for preemptively gauging the atmosphere. "Okay. Is there anything special for dinner tonight?" Rita attempted to lighten the mood with a smile."When have I ever failed to cook your favorite dish when you're here? If only you'd come back more frequently so my cooking skills wouldn't go to waste," Donna replied warmly.Their hushed conversation unexpectedly caught the attention of someone else."You have some nerve asking if she cooked something special for you? Don't you find that embarrassing?" Sadie's voice resonated from upstairs. She stood haughtily with her arms folded and glared at Rita disdainfully.Rit

"Who are you accusing of spreading rumors? It's not a rumor when the evidence is there. And you can't stop me from talking about it! A lot of other people are talking about it too!"Besides, you brought this upon yourself. It's not my place to say all this if your mother is alive, but she died young, and it's now my mother's responsibility to find a suitable match for you. You probably won't understand if you haven't experienced a mother's care before. I pity you, really," Sadie retorted proudly. She knew that she was superior to Rita in that aspect.Rita's demeanor suddenly shifted in the next moment, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She typically remained emotionally composed, but her falling tears accentuated her delicate features and made her look even more fragile.Sadie frowned and wondered what Rita was planning when a voice echoed from upstairs."Is that how you're supposed to speak to your sister?" Vince's stern voice pierced through the tension.Sadie trembled and tur

Karen knew Vince very well since they had been married for so many years. Sure enough, he seemed to be hesitating when he saw her crying.However, before Vince could say anything, Rita said with tears in her eyes, "Dad, I know Sadie is still a child, and her words shouldn't count. But I believe if it weren't for adults teaching her, she wouldn't say such things. I understand things change, and you three are a family now, but my mother used to live here too! Why should I endure the humiliation of being pointed at and called a child without a mother? Dad..."Rita cried harder and harder. Eventually, her tears seemed somewhat genuine.Deep down, she felt her soul and body were divided into two halves. Her soul seemed to hover above, watching this scene, thinking it incredibly strange and ironic.However, she had no choice but to put up this act in front of her father. Otherwise, her life would only become harder in the future.Karen's fake crying softened. She hung her head, silently

"Turns out she was putting up a show for Dad to see! I have to say, she's quite the performer. Living outside this past year has made her more adept at it. I wonder who she's trying to seduce with these tactics."Karen massaged her cheeks with a jade roller. "Forget about whom she's trying to seduce. Just trust me, I'll find her a good match."The mother and daughter exchanged a smile. "Oh Mom, you better find her a good match, but make sure Dad doesn't catch on.""Naturally. After all, I'm a very kind stepmother. I can't afford to let gossip spread, can I?""With you on the case, I have nothing to worry about."…"Alright, everyone's gone. Why are you still standing there stiffly?" Vince sat on the sofa, brushing off nonexistent dust from his knees, gesturing for his daughter to come sit beside him.Rita remained unmoving."What, do I have to formally invite you over as your father?" Vince put on a stern demeanor.Thinking about the news they were about to discuss, she finall

Rita frowned. "If someone doubts my innocence because of this kind of news, I have no reason to marry that man. Besides, it's the twenty-first century now. Everyone has some sort of past, and only old-fashioned people care about whether someone has had previous relationships. Dad, you're not one of those old-fashioned people, are you?""Where are you going with this? Having a past and being defiled by a vagrant are two completely different things! I'm warning you: sort this out quickly, or you can forget about being a reporter!""Dad!"Vince waved, his decision already made. Perhaps he had been too lenient with his daughter. Who would have thought she would be so careless about her reputation? Rita could have her freedom, but only as long as it did not jeopardize her future interests.As Vince looked at his daughter, who had grown to be a head shorter than him, all he could think of was her future.'She's still too young to understand that I'm only looking out for her. When she ge

Rita left the house again, carrying her bag. Since she reached adulthood, she came and went to the house as if she were just a visitor.Vince had many things he wanted to say, but as he watched her resolutely leave, he found himself speechless.He wanted to say he understood her well. If something had really happened, she would not have stood before him so calmly. He wanted to say that it was because he understood her that he did not ask.Even when he appeared on the second floor, he had carefully scrutinized her. If she could stand there without any issues, then she was surely fine. However, to Rita, all of this seemed like his indifference.He sighed, mindlessly touching the jade ring on his ring finger. It was left behind by Taya all those years ago. Vince had only this ring on his finger for many years; he did not even have a wedding ceremony when he married Karen.He had gifted Karen many pieces of jewelry but never a ring. Having Taya's ring on his ring finger was enough for

"Thanks to you and your friends… If it weren't for you all, I wouldn't know where I'd be right now..." He rubbed his hands together, feeling somewhat embarrassed.Perhaps he would have left behind his wandering life long ago if someone had been willing to lend him a hand from the start.Rita smiled and said, "Where else could you go? You'd still be stuck at that piece of land of course."Virgil scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "Heh, you're right. But I still have to thank you all."Rita nodded. "I also have to thank you for trusting me. Alright, I just came to see you. Since you're settling in so quickly, I'll head back now. There's still a lot of work to be done."Virgil walked a few steps with her, hesitated, and finally said, "I know figuring things out can be tough, but since I've settled down now...you don't have to rush the matter. You can just take things at your own pace."Rita understood his meaning; achieving this task alone would indeed be very difficult fo
