After saying what he wanted to say, Sherman got up and left, leaving Rita alone in her seat.


    "What the hell is he talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to marry him? What happened while I was still in the hospital?'' thought Rita, feeling as if she had been frozen to the spot.


    Rita quickly summoned the waiter, settled the bill, and hurried home.


    She had thought things through.


    They had been through a lot together. They had shared hardships, and their rtionship had progressed further. She never expected him to fall in love with her, but she liked him and hoped he would pay more attention to her.


    However, she never expected this oue. Her family had already blocked her path before she even had the chance to make Sherman like her.


    "Dad, tell me honestly, did you go to see Mister Sherman? What did you do?" asked Rita.


    Vince was caught off-guard by Rita''s question. He stammered, "What do you mean, see Mister Sherman? Do you really think he''s someone I can just go see whenever I want? Huh, you''re really overestimating your old man."


    Rita was frantic. Her father was still trying to deceive her! "Don''t think you can fool me. Mister Sherman has told me everything. Just what the heck are you up to, Dad?"


    "That''s impossible!" Vince instinctively denied it. There was no way Rita would be still talking to him nicely if Sherman had really told her.


    "I''ll tell you everything when you''re home. Just know that I''d never harm you."


    Rita bit her lip. When would her father give up his selfish ways? He said he would never harm her, but because of what he did, Sherman would not even sit and have a meal with her. What happened between them?


    While Rita was still in the hospital, Vince retrieved the hotel''s surveince footage and went straight to hispany with a small USB sh drive in hand.


    Sherman was surprised to hear that Vince was looking for him. ''Isn''t he supposed to be with Rita?''


    Nevertheless, he had the visitor invited in.


    This time, Vince seemed different. He did not even greet Sherman. Instead, he swaggered into the office and even propped his foot up on the sofa. Sherman raised an eyebrow but remainedposed, quietly observing him.


    "So what brings you here today, Mister Vince?" asked Sherman.


    Vince put his foot down and leaned forward, meeting Sherman''s gaze. "You should know very well why I''m here."


    "Oh? Russell Group doesn''t have any dealings with mypany, so I''m not quite sure what you could want from me."


    "Huh! That daughter of mine is just too naive so she''s often clueless. As her father, I naturally have to make sure she doesn''t get taken advantage of. Wouldn''t you agree, Mister Sherman?"


    Sherman nodded. "A father should naturally think more for his children."N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Still, Vince did not seem as loving toward his children as he portrayed. Otherwise, he would not have let his daughter suffer because of Karen and Sadie. Of course, Sherman did not point this to him.


    ????


    "That''s right. Since you also agree, be straightforward with you. I''ve retrieved all the surveince footage from that day, and I hope you ean take responsibility for this matter," said Vince.


    Sherman did not immediately grasp the situation and even chuckled softly.
