The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2801
Rita's thoughts lead her to doubt whether she was right in thinking that Esmond might be Karen's ex-husband.
"Esmond wasn't always this rich. He just accumulated his fortune very recently. His background is shrouded in mystery, but he's ruthlessly efficient, and his emphasis on loyalty has attracted a following. I should've been more careful knowing that he had amassed his wealth in such a short period. If I had investigated this thoroughly before acquiring the land, I wouldn't have fallen into his trap," said Sherman.
His words sent a shiver down Rita's spine; it seemed to prove that his character was truly sinister.
That would also explain why Karen had distanced herself from him later on. The two of them sat on the sofa and calmly exchanged clues as if their anxiety had since disappeared.
In another room, Esmond glanced at them through the surveillance cameras.
"These two are quite the pair! Though they were a little panicky at the beginning, they seem to be settling in comfortably right now. By the way, boss, don't you think it's going a little overboard to drag Sherman into this? Didn't she say we only needed to deal with the girl?" asked one of Esmond's lackeys.
Esmond shot him a cold glare.
A second lackey nudged the first one with his elbow and asked, "What good is your brain if you don't use it every now and then? Sherman's presence makes things complicated. Haven't you considered he might come for us if we deal with her? We might as well end them both at the same time. Parr Group can still run perfectly fine even if Sherman's gone. And besides, we'll even be able to deal with the land issue. What say you, boss?"
Rita gripped his wrist nervously and shook her head. "No! We came together, so we're going to leave together! I won't abandon you."
Sherman smiled faintly. "It won't be that easy. Whether there is even a chance to escape remains to be seen. But remember, if one of us gets out, the other might have a chance to be saved too. And…"
"And what?" Rita asked.
Sherman had a feeling that Karen had asked Esmond to deal with Rita, but he hesitated to inform her of his suspicions when he saw the look in her eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
