The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2754

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.

Rita ignored Sadie and continued to talk to Donna. "I'll bring you over to my place when things go well for me at my job. Then you can cook for me every day," she quipped.

Donna nodded. "That sounds wonderful. I'll be more than happy to take care of you for the rest of your life."

To Karen and Sadie, there was a hierarchy, and servants were treated as nothing more than people whose job was to serve them. Worse still, servants were often subjected to disparaging remarks by the two of them, and they seemed to target those who like Donna, who had been there since Taya's time.

"Watch your words," Rita interjected and turned to face Sadie. She stood several inches taller than her, so her sense of superiority over Sadie seemed to be more profound.

"Ah, yes, that's all you can do. Becoming the savior and trying to charm others. Anyone can do that," Sadie mocked. "It's a shame that things had to end on a bad note for those who have been here since your mother was alive. Anyway, you'd better have your script ready for Dad. You've been defiled, so I'm pretty sure no one would want to marry you. I can't imagine the sort of headache my mother will have to go through."

Rita stepped forward and grabbed Sadie's arm as the latter attempted to leave. "What did you just say? If you spread these sorts of rumors again, I will have you dragged right to the police station!"
