Chapter 2695
Sherman, who emerged a step behind, observed the scene with a mixture of amusement and disbelief. It was quite a spectacle
and no doubt provided a window into Rita's drama-laden life. It would not be surprising for anyone in her position to leave the
home as soon as they reached adulthood. Facing those two melodramatic figures day in and day out would be tiring, to say the
least. Sach Th Find_Nøvel.et website on Gøøgl to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Though the situation was a rather clear-cut one, Sherman watched in bewilderment as Vince approached Rita sternly and asked,
"Why did you raise your hand against your sister?"
Meanwhile, Karen continued to weep. She staggered forward, knelt, and checked Sadie's body for signs of an injury. "Are you
hurt, Sadie?"
Sadie, tearful and apprehensive, cast a furtive glance toward Rita.
Rita sensed that Sadie was looking at her and turned to glare back at Sadie. It gave the impression that Sadie was being
coerced to assure them that she was fine, which Rita felt rather surprised.
"Did you witness the incident? Why are you blaming me?" Rita retorted in frustration. "Do you even know what she did? Why are
you accusing me out of nowhere?"
Vince's expression remained stern. "It doesn't matter what she did. Violence is never the answer. Have you forgotten everything
I've taught you? I've always stressed the importance of getting along with your sister. Have you forgotten that?"
Rita snorted. "Get along with her? That's the last thing that will happen."
Karen's sobbing intensified at that opportune moment. "I know you don't like Sadie, Rita, but she's still your sister. And she's still
young too. What if she gets severely injured. because you got physical with her earlier? I'm not asking for much, Rita. I just want
you to be kinder to her. Can't you find it in your heart to do that?"
When Vince heard the loud crying, he immediately went over and bent down to check if Sadie was still injured. "Are you okay,
Sadie? Let me know if you feel even a little bit of pain on you. We'll head straight to the hospital if it's too much to bear."
Rita clenched her fists in a surge of anger when she saw the three of them huddled together. Vince was supposed to be her
biological father, yet he was so quick to reproach her and console another man's daughter.
"I'm fine, Dad. Don't be mad at Rita," Sadie assured.
The sight before Rita was downright preposterous? Her biological father, her stepmother, and her stepsister were all looking the
part of a happy family, while she s relegated to
the sidelines despite being
biologically Vince's daughter It was
such a farcical scene that she would
have already snickered loudly if
Sherman was not around.
After Vince assisted Sadie to her feet, he directed a glare at Rita. "We'll let this slide, but only because Sadie insists that she's
okay. I have to be frank with you, Rita: you're not a child anymore, but your temper is getting more and more out of hand. Even I
find you a handful nowadays."
Rita crossed her arms with a bitter smirk. "You seem to care more about another man's daughter than your own, so spare me
your lectures!"
"You-" Vince stopped himself short
of snapping at her when he caught sight of Sherman lingering nearby. "We'll discuss family matters later. should first introduce
you to our guest. He is Mister Sherman Parr Mister Sherman, I'm very sorry that you had to witness this. Arguments tend to
happen very often around the house when you have two daughters around the same age. It's tough to take care of them. I have
to be the mediator all the time."
