Karen chuckled. "Sherman is probably joking. How could anything happen to Rita on her way home? Maybe she had an argument with him and didn't answer his calls, so he thought something happened."
Vince, visibly impatient, replied, "Enough with the questions. Just wait at home. I told him the same thing when I called him, but he wouldn't believe me and even threatened me. I don't know if he even considers me as an elder!"
Vince descended the stairs as he spoke, leaving Karen standing there with her arms crossed disdainfully.
'Who in this family actually treats him as a real elder anyway? Doesn't he realize what an embarrassment he is by clinging to Sherman like a leech?'
At times, Karen did not approve of Vince's behavior and would have scolded him already if it were not for the baby boy in her belly. However, it seemed like something bad really had happened since Sherman called Vince.
Karen instinctively thought of Sadie. In case something unexpected happened, she needed her daughter under her watchful eye to feel at ease. However, when she knocked on Sadie's door, she found that no one was inside.
She had warned her about being more careful and not going out so frequently. 'How could she not be at home at this hour? That girl is getting more unruly by the day!'
Karen, holding back her anger, called Sadie. There was a cacophony of noise on the other end of the phone. "Where the hell could she be?' After a while, Sadie seemed to find a quiet corner before answering the call.
"Hello, Mom. Why are you calling me now?"
Karen frowned and demanded, "What are you doing? It's so late. don't you have any sense of time?! told you not to go out these few days, but you never listen to me. That brat Rita is in trouble now, and you're my precious daughter. What if something happens to you too?" en.swnovels.net
"Oh? Is that so?" Sadie's tone sounded unsurprised.
"Sadie... Why do I feel like you knew Rita would get into trouble? Where are you right now? I want you to come back now. You better not let me find out that you're involved in this."
Hearing her mother's serious tone, Sadie replied with a smile, "Mom, where did you get that idea? She's a reporter, and she's always out there investigating all sorts of dangerous cases, so it's normal if she gets into trouble, right? She refuses to take bodyguards even though what she's doing is clearly dangerous. This has nothing to do with me. What can I do?
"Since you want me to come back, I'll say goodbye to my friends and come back immediately, okay? Don't be angry. You are still carrying my little brother, after all. Trust me, I'll be home in twenty-five minutes."
Karen felt relieved. It was not that she did not want to get rid of Rita, but since she was married to Sherman, Karen could not be sureaf Sherman had any feelings for Rità. It would be risky to harm Rita if they really had feelings for each other. Either way, she needed to understand Sherman's intentions toward Rita before taking action.
