The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2861

'I've paved the way for her, yet she doesn't want to walk it. Instead, she wants to take the traditional approach of winning him over! Doesn't she realize just how much of a difference there is between them? There's no way her passion alone could win Sherman's cold heart!' thought Vince.

Fortunately, he had already hidden the original documents, so even if Rita found something in his study, it would only be a copy.

Unfortunately, Rita was completely unaware of that when she sneaked into her father's study. She did not expect to find the USB flash drive so easily. Thinking she was lucky, she silently apologized to her father in her heart when she held the small chip in her hand.

'I know the family business needs the Parr family's investment, but don't worry, Dad. I'll help you raise capital after apologizing to Sherman. I stand with you, no matter what.'

At the end of the day, Rita was still a member of the Russell family and Vince's daughter. She had enjoyed so many benefits from her family over the years, so it was natural that she would help her father at such a critical juncture.

However, she believed that money should be earned in a 'clean' way. She absolutely would not allow her father to use the USB drive to harm or threaten Sherman, nor did she want to see such an outcome.

After obtaining the evidence, Rita immediately contacted Sherman. Afraid he might not want to hear her voice, she sent a text message instead, telling him he must come see her.

Meanwhile, Sherman was sitting at his desk, pondering the question his mother had asked him—did he truly have no feelings for Rita? Otherwise, why would he agree to such a ludicrous marriage arrangement?

Meanwhile, Vince observed Rita's stealthy movements through the surveillance footage. About 10 minutes after she left the study, he made a call to the family driver.

"Yes, that's correct. Miss Rita just drove away in a hurry. I think she's going to meet someone. She didn't even ask me to take her," the driver reported.

Vince scoffed coldly. 'Who else would be meeting other than Sherman? I bet she can't wait to give the USB flash drive to him. She's so eager to offer herself up, that she'll even betray her own father. What an ungrateful child I've raised!'

With these thoughts in mind, Vince realized that he needed to intervene and put an end to Rita's schemes. He could not allow her to continue dwelling in the past or thinking she was still the heiress of the family while neglecting her basic needs to solely pursue her dreams.
