"I've never seen anyone more shameless than you, Karen. I'm warning you: if I ever find out you have any contact with Esmond again, I'll tell Dad." Rita warned her before leaving the house.
After watching Rita leave, Karen collapsed onto the railing to steady herself.
'This has to change!' she thought.
Rita had already uncovered her past with Esmond. While she had kept it from Vince so far, what if she was in a bad mood one day? She would tell everything to him. Rita absolutely could not stay!
'Or maybe I could let her stay but ensure that she'll never gain her father's trust again!' she thought.
Karen's gaze turned cold. "Sweet, sweet Riya…you brought this upon yourself."
Even if she let Rita live, she had a thousand ways to make her wish she was dead.
"Hey, did you get the medicine I asked you to find last time? Have it delivered to me this afternoon. I'll need it soon... Don't ask so many questions. Knowing too much isn't good for you." Karen hung up the phone, then composed herself and returned to her noble demeanor as Missus Russell for the gathering.
…
Rita had not expected Karen to plot against her like this. If she could turn back time, she would never have so easily believed the words of the so-called informant, which ultimately led to her and Sherman falling into a deadlock.
Later, when Rita found herself alone in her room, she started crying quietly. She was willing to pay any price to turn back time, or at least make Sherman not dislike her so much.
[Rita, come to the Golden Sand Hotel lobby. I have very important information to give you.]
As Rita sat in the hotel lobby, reviewing her notes, a masked man suddenly sat down across from her. She instinctively said, "Excuse me, sir, I'm expecting someone."
"I'm here for you, Rita," the man replied.
It took her a moment to realize. "You're Old Sims. What's the information you said you found?"
Old Sims looked around the surroundings cautiously. He wanted to make sure it was safe for him to speak.
Rita also became nervous. She looked behind and surveyed the surroundings before saying, "There's no one else here. I've already checked."

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...
