The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2695

Sherman, who emerged a step behind, observed the scene with a mixture of amusement and disbelief. It was quite a spectacle and no doubt provided a window into Rita's drama-laden life. It would not be surprising for anyone in her position to leave the home as soon as they reached adulthood. Facing those two melodramatic figures day in and day out would be tiring, to say the least.

Though the situation was a rather clear-cut one, Sherman watched in bewilderment as Vince approached Rita sternly and asked, "Why did you raise your hand against your sister?"

Meanwhile, Karen continued to weep. She staggered forward, knelt, and checked Sadie's body for signs of an injury. "Are you hurt, Sadie?"

Sadie, tearful and apprehensive, cast a furtive glance toward Rita.

Rita sensed that Sadie was looking at her and turned to glare back at Sadie. It gave the impression that Sadie was being coerced to assure them that she was fine, which Rita felt rather surprised.

"Did you witness the incident? Why are you blaming me?" Rita retorted in frustration. "Do you even know what she did? Why are you accusing me out of nowhere?"

Vince's expression remained stern. "It doesn't matter what she did. Violence is never the answer. Have you forgotten everything I've taught you? I've always stressed the importance of getting along with your sister. Have you forgotten that?"

Rita snorted. "Get along with her? That's the last thing that will happen."
