"And that Sherman, too! He came with her to cause trouble at my place. What's the company president of the prestigious Parr Group doing, coming here to make a scene?"
Seeing Esmond's disdain for Rita and Sherman, Sadie nodded in satisfaction.
"Is this woman bullying you and your mother? Your mother wanted me to get rid of Rita too when she called last time, but I missed my chance because of Sherman."
Sadie looked at Esmond resentfully. "How could you let her slip away when she's already in your territory? I really don't understand. You've been living the thug life for so many years, so you should have a lot of people under you, right?"
Esmond scratched his head. "It's true that she was in my territory, but I also have to be wary of Sherman. You don't know how powerful he is now. He controls our economic lifeline. If something goes wrong, all the men working under me could lose everything. After all these years, I have to think about them too, right? But now, it would be much easier to deal with Rita. I've hated her for a long time. Sweetheart, are you thinking of getting rid of her?"
Sadie nodded, still unsatisfied. "You must succeed this time. There's no room for failure. I haven't asked anything of you, my biological father, for so many years. So, I ask for this one thing now. If you do it well, I'll still consider you my dad. I'll take care of you in your old age. But if you mess it up… Hmph."
Sadie's icy scoff made Esmond shiver; he realized how much control this mother-daughter duo had over him. "Don't worry, it'll be easy to deal with her. I promise to take care of this matter well for you."
Sadie smiled smugly. 'Sherman will surely accept me once Rita is out of the picture! Then I'll be the new Missus Parr.'

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
