The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2933

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.

'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'

Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid-which is more than what I can say about you!"

Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an easy thing to do.

Esmond was frantic on the other end of the phone. He obviously heard Sadie's screams coming through the receiver. How did things come to this? Sadie was fine when she left him. Plus, how could Karen do nothing while her own daughter was being tortured?

"What are you doing? Are you using Sadie to threaten me? Can't you make those people stop torturing Sadie? How can you call yourself a mother when you can't even do that?"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I could say the same about you! How could you call yourself a father? You think you're helping her, but you're actually harming her. Release Rita now, and let this be the end of it. If Sadie ever asks you for anything else, just ignore her. We'll pretend we never knew you. Stop interfering with our lives, Esmond!"

Karen's words struck Esmond.

He finally understood. Their relationship had ended the moment he left. The moment she became Vince's wife, she was no longer tied to him. What did it matter if they had a daughter together?

Sadie's surname had changed to Russell, too. She was raised in the Russell family and had nothing to do with Esmond.

Feeling despondent, he said, "Can't this be the last thing I do for my daughter?"

Karen immediately panicked. She did not want him to do something rash to Rita. "There's nothing I can do to save Sadie right now. Her life is in your hands. Just tell me where Rita is. I promise Sadie will be thankful to you for saving her life."

Sherman anxiously awaited Esmond's response. Luckily, Esmond was not too stubborn and eventually revealed Rita's location. Without wasting a second, Sherman led his men straight to that location. He also informed the police to apprehend the perpetrators.

Karen quickly stumbled toward the wooden door as soon as she saw the bodyguards had left. However, when she opened it, she found Sadie tied up with her mouth gagged.

'If her mouth was gagged, then who screamed?' thought Karen with fear. She quickly rushed forward and removed the cloth covering Sadie's mouth.
