Chapter 2721

"You're on your own from now on." Rita grabbed her bag and left.She did not have any other work on her hands, and as for the meeting later… Well, she could not care less about doing such menial tasks as pouring coffee for them.On the way to meet her friends, she became angrier. 'What gives them the right to steal my work? It's obvious I was framed. Not only did the boss not comfort me, but he passed on my interview to someone else! The interview I've worked so hard to secure, and that no one else did! I'm more than capable of doing a better job than Chase, but no, he gets to write about the interview! Is it because I'm a newcomer?'Rita found it impossible to swallow her frustration. "I must get the front page headline next month. Just wait, I'll make everyone at New Capital Times regret ever treating me like this!"Rita pondered what other materials she could gather. Suddenly, she remembered the relationship between Sherman and Claire. That could be a good angle to pursue.Howe

Sherman even spread his hands out, and Rita could clearly see disdain in his eyes. At that moment, she felt embarrassed to the point of wanting to flee from the office. She could handle rejection but not be looked down on by others—especially by someone like Sherman whom she had briefly held in high regard.Rita grabbed her bag and stood up abruptly. "Thank you for reminding me, Mister Sherman. You've taught me to see things clearly. Otherwise, I might have mistaken you as my friend after our conversation that night. Since you're unwilling to grant me the interview, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you and Miss Claire a lifetime of happiness."With that, she left Sherman's office without looking back, leaving him bewildered. 'Wasn't she the one at fault? How did she manage to make it seem like I'm the one at fault here?'She had projected such strength in front of Sherman, but as soon as she was alone in the elevator, Rita lowered her head in dismay. She could not even force a smi

"Rita, I found that painting inappropriate, so I instructed the servants to take it down. After all, there are more than three people in the house now, so hanging a family portrait of three isn't suitable when guests come over. I'd discussed it with your father before removing the painting, and he agreed as well."Karen's smug expression made Rita sick to her stomach. "So what if he agreed? I didn't! Where's the painting now?"Karen was utterly indifferent to Rita's anger. She waved her hand dismissively. "The servants could've put it anywhere after they took it down for all I care. After all, that painting is meaningless now. Don't you think so?"Her eyes sparkled with provocation. It was obvious she was mocking Rita with the fact that her mother was no longer alive by saying the painting was meaningless.Rita raised her hand high. She wanted nothing more than to rip apart Karen's face, but in the end, she clenched her fist and quickly ran off to find the butler.After she left,

"Oh Rita, you must've heard wrong. I was telling your sister about something else. I didn't call anyone a lunatic at all," Karen quickly responded, trying to appease Rita with a smile while gesturing for Sadie to leave.However, Sadie could not resist taunting Rita after seeing her in such a disoriented state. "Look at you, acting all crazy. So you can't blame Mom for calling you a lunatic. Isn't it enough that you run yourself silly playing a reporter, but now you're coming home to both my mom? Even though she's a stepmom, she's been more than fair to you! But instead of being grateful, you just keep treating her worse and worse! If I were you, I would've left this house ages ago!""What? Why should I be grateful? Wasn't it enough for you two to nearly scare me half to death all those years ago? This is my home. I'm a Russell, which neither of you two are. So stop bossing me around here!" Rita retorted angrily.Rita realized she had been too easygoing before, which made Karen and S

"Why not? Who do you think you are to stand in front of me? Get out of my way!" shouted Sadie.Karen struggled to get up, only to be knocked off-balance again by her daughter. "Enough! Come help me up and see if my face is ruined.""Oh no, your face is bleeding! I'm going to tell Dad about this when he comes back! Rita, you uncultured woman! You're the one who doesn't deserve to be called a Russell! Apart from my background, I'm better than you in every way! But then again, I guess that's what you get when you have no mother to teach you manners!"Sadie's words triggered something in Rita. Ignoring the servants' attempts to stop her, she stormed forward and slapped Sadie hard, twice. She did not spare Karen either."How dare you! How dare you insult me! You're the one whose mother didn't teach you any manners! Go to hell, all of you!" shouted Rita angrily.Upon returning home, Vince was met with a chaotic scene. With tears streaming down her face, Rita was hitting Karen and Sadie

Chapter 2726

"Karen consulted with me before changing that painting, and I think it's right to change it too. After all, there are four people living in the house now, right? It's not very considerate to hang that painting in the hall, especially to your stepmom. What if someone sees it? Won't they gossip about our family? So I think her suggestion makes a lot of sense. Besides, you can hang that painting in your room, right? I remember your room doesn't have any paintings."Vince's open agreement with Karen to change the painting made Rita even more heartbroken.It showed that his first wife had become a thing of the past for him, and Rita was the only one who still missed her late mother."Don't you understand what I'm saying? The painting's gone, and I can't find it! Even if Mom is gone, you can't just forget everything about the past. That painting is of you, me, and Mom! How could you be so heartless to let that woman change the painting?"Vince's expression darkened. He hated it the most

"Mister Vince, it's a downpour out there. Miss Rita will get sick if she runs around outside," said Donna."It's her own fault if she gets sick," remarked Vince stiffly. "No one told her to go out."Sensing a slight softening in his tone, Donna quickly interjected, "Why don't I help her? That painting is a cherished memento for her, so it's understandable for her to be so anxious about it."In the end, Vince sighed and waved. Donna immediately followed Rita outside.It was partly the servants' fault that the painting went missing. They only knew that the painting, which had been hanging for over a decade, was suddenly being taken down, but they completely overlooked where it had been put.'Oh, what a mess this has turned out,' thought Donna.She could not bear to see Rita distressed. Thus, she ran into the rain without hesitation.Finally, Rita found her painting in a small building next door, used for storing junk. She saw the usually clean frame carelessly thrown on the ground

Chapter 2728

Donna's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Rita, who seemed so lost. She was at a loss for what to say. Vince had always been clear-headed except when it came to matters concerning women.Even if he doted on Karen, he should not have elevated a daughter with no blood relation to such heights. He only had Rita as his biological daughter; they were the ones truly connected by blood. It was as if he had everything backward.Donna felt sorry for Rita and could not bear to lay out the harsh reality to her. She simply comforted her, saying, "Silly child, I'm sure your father loves you very much. Men aren't great with words, but deep down, your father loves you dearly. Besides, you're the esteemed young lady of the Russell family, and you're his only daughter. His entire fortune will be yours in the future. Rita, your father might be acting foolish right now, but you have to believe that he truly loves you.""Really?""Really. Have I ever lied to you in all these years I've been w

"Do you not trust me? Have you considered you might not be able to marry Sherman as you wish if it was anyone else other than me who goes to talk to your father about this?" Karen lounged back, her legs crossed, looking extremely proud.Sadie immediately understood what her mother was trying to say. If she wanted to successfully marry Sherman, Karen would have to subtly influence Vince to make the match. Thus, it seemed like she had no choice but to tell her."Fine, I'll tell you. I happened to overhear from the kitchen door that the Parr family apparently owes the Russell family a favor from years ago. When Dad's father passed away, Sherman's grandfather even visited and promised Dad that he and his descendants could make any request to the Parr family."Karen's mouth widened. "Oh, you clever girl! Good job on obtaining such a confidential piece of information. Seems like you're destined to be Sherman's wife. It's fate, I tell you!"Sadie felt even more ecstatic after hearing Kare

"Only by being engaged can their hearts settle down. In the future, they can also help each other in their careers, don't you think?" Karen asked.Vince nodded. "I know you care about Rita. It's been tough for you all these years. I do have someone in mind, and that's Sherman. He's different from those playboys, but even if I like him, it doesn't mean he'll like Rita. Sigh! This is more difficult than I thought."Rita felt uneasy after hearing her father's words.Karen never expected Vince to have set his sights on Sherman. She stiffened, and she exerted a bit more force.Vince grunted. "Ouch, that hurts. What's the matter with you?""Sorry, sorry, I was trying to recall what Sherman looked like and accidentally poked you." Karen gently rubbed the spot where Vince had been poked. "Sherman seems fine to me, but I can't shake the feeling that his personality might not be compatible with Rita's.""Oh? Have you seen them interact with each other?" Vince casually inquired. Despite She
