The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2738

"Ohh, but I don't think Sherman is that kind of person. Could it be that we're thinking in the wrong direction? What if Parr Group truly acquired this land through legitimate means? Wouldn't that mean our entire investigation is off track?"

The reporter cast a disdainful glance at her. "You're still young, so you haven't seen the dark side of society. Maybe you think Sherman looks young and handsome, and since he's wealthy, there's no need for him to get involved in such matters. But let me tell you, it's precisely because he's wealthy that he's more likely to sweep these dirty deeds under the rug. I bet you have no idea how he got his money, yet here you are vouching for his character. As a reporter, you should remain impartial in your investigation! If you're already biased toward him, how can you possibly uncover the truth?"

Rita frowned. She admitted that her few brief interactions with Sherman had led her to trust him, but that did not mean she would be biased in his favor.

'If I was deemed to have an unwarranted trust in Sherman, then the criticism this reporter was directing towards him seemed equally unwarranted,' thought Rita.

The senior reporter's remarks were dripping with sarcasm, insinuating that Sherman's wealth was ill-gotten. Another reporter sitting beside him touched his leg, signaling him to stop.

"Ah, let's stop here. Both of you should speak less. We can only continue investigating once this homeless man is willing to speak up. As for everything else, it's all speculation for now."

Rita nodded. She found a corner to squat, taking out her pen and notebook to sketch out a diagram of the relationships between the individuals involved. Somehow, she just felt that this matter had nothing to do with Sherman and was more likely related to Parr Group.

Developer? Residents? Parr Group?

Rita listed these three entities in her notebook, emphasizing the developer with a special mark. She knew she needed to thoroughly investigate this developer.

'From the time this issue surfaced until now, the elusive developer seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Could there really be a developer who could complete their projects so flawlessly?' wondered Rita.

Rita found that hard to believe, yet so far, all the information she found online about the developer seemed positive. This only added to her confusion.

The senior reporter whom Rita had chatted with the night before was following the homeless man too when this was happening.

Seeing Rita so shocked, as if she wanted to intervene and stop the homeless man, the senior reporter shook his head.

"You appearing now is worse than pretending you didn't see anything. Even though he's homeless now, he still has his dignity."

Rita frowned and bit her lip. She did not know how to help the man in his predicament. Despite his young appearance, he emitted an aura of despair.

In the end, she could not resist and found a corner to make a call to Sherman. She had gotten his number from when she went to his office last time. However, she had never called him out of stubbornness.
