The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2927

"We were supposed to have dinner at home. I'm starving. Let's at least eat something. Even if we can go hungry, we shouldn't let the little one in your belly go hungry," said Vince.

Karen reluctantly nodded. 'His daughter is missing. How can he still have the appetite to eat? This is totally unheard of!'

Meanwhile, Rita was lying in the back and swaying with the movement of a large truck with her eyes and mouth covered. She could only press her ear against the carriage, straining to listen to the sounds outside. She did not know who these people were or why they wanted to kidnap her.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like Sherman, the only person she could think of that she had offended recently was Esmond. 'But I've been keeping my distance away from him, so why would he resort to such a drastic measure against me?'

Rita could not find an answer; she did not know what went wrong in between. She was filled with anxiety and fear, not knowing what her kidnappers were up to. As the truck continued on its journey, the outside sounds grew fainter as if they were leaving the city. Rita's heart pounded with even greater fear.

'It's okay, Sherman heard what happened to me, so he'll definitely come to rescue me-just like all the times he did.' Rita repeated this sentence in her mind.

She held onto the belief that Sherman would come swooping in like last time to save her from danger. With this mantra, she felt relatively better. Otherwise, she would have had a nervous breakdown long ago. Her kidnappers were banking on her having a nervous breakdown, thus they did not drug her. Instead of letting her wake up at their destination, it was better to keep her awake and gradually break her down along the way. Then, she would be powerless to resist once they had reached their destination.

"Mister Sherman, we've found something suspicious. Recently, Esmond has been frequenting a coffee shop, and he always booked out the entire second floor."

The person responsible for monitoring Esmond finally gave Sherman a useful lead.

"There must be something going on when a suspect deviates from his usual routine. Keep investigating him," said Sherman, hands clasped together, praying and hoping that Rita could hold on until he found her.

Whether it was the power of his prayers or Rita's own luck, Sadie happened to be captured on video footage during her one visit to nearby places. Everyone had been informed in advance of Sadie and Rita's strained relationship, so they naturally would not overlook this lead.

When Sherman was informed of this, he immediately grabbed the videotape and had someone drive him to the Russells' residence.

Rita had repeatedly reminded him not to drive in case of emergencies on account of how highly strung he would become. Thus, not wanting to worry Rita, he decided to let someone else do the driving.

The driver saw how anxious Sherman who was in the backseat-was, so he skillfully increased the car speed to the maximum while repeatedly reassuring Sherman, "Don't worry, Mister Sherman. We'll reach the Russells' residence in less than ten minutes,"

Sherman frowned when they passed Rita's smashed car on the way. 'I'm going to make these people pay if it's the last thing I do!'

When he entered the Russells' residence with a group of bodyguards, he almost laughed out loud. 'Rita is missing, and they're sitting down and eating dinner peacefully? Is she even remotely important to them?'
