The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2926

Sherman felt a pang of heartache at the thought of how naive Rita was. Suddenly, he remembered a key figure in all of this—Esmond.

Sherman recalled how he and Rita had embarrassed Esmond. Being a formidable thug for so many years, there was no way he would be able to swallow that humiliation.

"It better not be you behind this," Sherman muttered to himself.

Sherman had kept tabs on Esmond after their previous escape, so if it was indeed him, there should have been some activity. However, after that incident, Esmond had been unusually quiet, even avoiding his own territory.

Sherman could not let go of this lead.

Just then, Lucy called. "Mister Sherman, we've found Esmond's whereabouts. He went to his casino as usual today, and we didn't see him near the Russell's mansion," Lucy reported.

After hearing her report, Sherman became even more suspicious. Other than Esmond, he could not think of anyone else Rita might have recently offended.

Using such drastic measures, even disregarding surveillance to abduct someone in broad daylight, it had to be someone with a deep grudge against Rita. He could not think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

Karen and Sadie were also within Sherman's realm of consideration. However, both of them were at home when it happened.

Just then, Vince's call came through.

Sherman did not want to answer. Alas, he answered in hopes that Vince might have found some clues on his end.

Sherman disconnected the call once again.

Vince stared at his phone screen, panting. He did not expect to be humiliated again so abruptly.

Karen sensed something was wrong but did not dare to approach him. It was clear that he had been humiliated by Sherman again.

Sadie wanted to ask a few questions, but Karen held her back. She shook her head at Sadie and mouthed, "Don't go."

After a while, Vince regained his composure and walked over to them with a forced smile. "Sherman is as clueless as we are. Asking him is like asking in vain. Let's just wait for the kidnappers to call."
