Sadie even changed her surname.
Rita decided to wait until the next day before going back to her father's place; there were some questions she needed to ask Karen in person.
She did not plan on telling her father about this for the time being. With so much happening lately, coupled with the fact that Karen was pregnant with a baby boy, telling him would not likely make any difference. She needed to hold onto this leverage and use it to her advantage at the right moment.
Despite all the troubles, life went on as usual. Rita focused on her work, and she planned to think about her future once she wrapped up the case. Over the years, she had received invitations to join the entertainment industry, but she always declined. She disliked that industry at the time, and as a heiress, she did not need to compete with others for a living.
However, things had changed. She had her own things to do; she could no longer rely on the allowances her father gave her.
'It might not be so bad to work as an actress. At least I'd be able to quickly repay the debts,' thought Rita as she drove back home.
Vince seemed somewhat pleased to see her when she arrived. "You're back! Where's Sherman? Didn't he come back with you?"
Rita's expression darkened as she handed the keys to the servant. "Why did you call him yesterday?"
"So you've finally admitted you're his wife? Yet you were so reluctant when I forced him to marry you? What a joke! Don't think you're any special just because you're now his wife. Once a Russell, always a Russell!"
Vince grabbed her arm. "What did you say? You're going to pay him back? The Parr family said they'll give us the money with no strings attached, so why do you need to pay them back?"

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...
