The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2879

Rita had indeed been unable to convince her father before, but she had been trying her best. She even mentioned repaying the money her father owed Sherman—was that not enough? What did Sherman want from her?

Claire could not help but step back when she saw Sherman approaching.

"So this is the kind of woman you're dumping me for? You really are something, Sherman. How can you give up years of memories and feelings between us for someone like her?"

"I've never seen anyone as good at distorting the truth as you. You know perfectly well why I chose someone else; you just refuse to admit it. It's been so many years, and you should've known by now that we can't go back to how we used to be. You made your choice, and you want to go back on it now?"

"Yes!" Claire rushed forward and grabbed Sherman's arm. "Yes, I want to go back on my choice. I shouldn't have left you to go abroad in the first place. How could I have known that when I came back, you'd have another woman by your side? I should be the one marrying you! I'm your childhood sweetheart. How could you fall for a woman you've only known for a few months? Have you forgotten what she did to you?"

Claire cried bitterly, and many people around them started to comment on the situation.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like Sherman is just another fickle-minded man. Indeed, there are no good men in this world."

"Other men might not be good, but Sherman might be an exception. He's wealthy, so he doesn't need to resort to such things, does he?"

"Haven't you heard the saying? A man is bound to go astray, especially one with money. Especially someone as wealthy as Sherman. Who knows how many women's hearts he's played with? Look at these two beautiful women so heartbroken over him. If I were a man, I'd feel quite pleased."

Her colleagues nearby scorned her remarks.

"I bet you don't have that much money. If you did, you might be even more fickle-minded than Sherman! Plus, what gives you the right to comment on his love life? Do you have a death wish or something?"

"Don't act innocent! Aren't you just dying to broadcast the fact that he dumped me to the whole world? I wouldn't be surprised if you're using me right now to expose your marriage with Sherman. As a woman, I know exactly what's going on in your mind."

Rita almost burst out laughing. After all, Claire was the one who came to her company acting like a madwoman. How could anyone else know about this matter? Could it be that her barging in was also part of her plan?

"Since you're unwilling to accept this fact, let me tell you again: Sherman and I are now married. We're legally recognized as husband and wife. I hope you won't bother my husband anymore."

Rita, overcome with anger, lost her interest in maintaining her composure. She linked her arm with his and stood beside him as his wife as if commanding Claire to leave.

Claire looked pitifully at Sherman. "Sherman, are you just going to let her treat me like this? Can you bear to see me humiliated in front of so many people?"
