The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2731

"Why is it early when it comes to my daughter?" grumbled Karen. "Since Rita isn't suitable, then you should at least consider Sadie. After all, she bears the Russell family name now. If she can marry Sherman, it will only benefit this family.

"Vince, has it slipped your mind that the family business has been laying off employees for three consecutive years, and our revenue has been declining year by year? You have to take this issue seriously. The glory of the Russell family mustn't end in our hands."

Karen's words struck Vince's heart like a heavy hammer. Indeed, the problem he had been worrying about all along was the possibility of his family's glory ending in his generation. The entire family had been thriving since his grandfather's time, so how could it end in his generation?

"You're right. Sadie is also my daughter, no different from Rita. And guess what? I have a way of making Sherman marry either of them."

Karen's heart started beating like a drum. She knew about the favor the Parr family owed the Russell family, yet she pretended not to know in front of Vince.

"Oh? How so? It would be wonderful if that's really the case. The family business will surely thrive again with Sherman's support."

Vince did not get angry at Karen for speaking like that at all. All he cared about at that moment was the family's future. Only by joining forces with the Parr family could the Russell become stronger with each passing generation. Although the Russell family was declining, they still had in their possession a considerable amount of wealth. In other words, Sherman would not really be losing out if he chose to marry either Sadie or Rita.

Rita left quietly at that point. She did not want to hear any more of their conversation. Once back in her room, she sighed sadly. She had not expected that even someone as successful as Sherman would ultimately be swept into the tide of marriage alliances.

At the end of the day, none of them were truly free.
