FreeNovelChapter 2932 "Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less tto heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating." Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will cout unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that....." Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.
He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?" Sherman nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, it is just as you suspected. Karen, if you're smart, you'd call Esmond now. I know you don't want to get back with him, but he does. I hope you can convince him to let Rita go. Otherwise, whatever he does to Rita, your daughter will end up with the sfate. I suggest you think about this carefully." Sherman raised his hand, and a bodyguard handed Karen's phone to her. She looked at it with terror. She did not even know when someone even retrieved her belongings, including her phone. It seemed Sherman had cprepared. He would not stop at anything until he got news of Rita's safety.
Meanwhile, another scream cfrom the room, and Karen could not hesitate any longer. She grabbed the phone and dialed the number saved in it. Vince quietly observed the call log, noting the number two appended to it. Obviously, this was not the first tshe had called that Esmond guy.
Vince did not react immediately but silently noted this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEsmond, preoccupied with the task Sadie had given him to do, was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Karen. He happily answered as he moved to a quiet area.
"Hello, Karen. Everything alright? Why are you calling?" Karen, fearing he might say too much, quickly interrupted him. "Is Rita with you?" Esmond had promised to get rid of Rita as per his daughter's request, so how could he let Rita's whereabouts leak? He hesitated for a moment before he replied, "What are you talking about? How would I even know Rita? Did she say something about me?" "Don't try to fool me!" Karen shouted in frustration. "I'll have you know Sadie's life is in danger right now. You might never get to see her again if you don't tellwhere Rita is!"
"That's impossible. Isn't Sadie safely back at home?" interjected Esmond sharply. "Why would she be in danger? You shouldn'tikelike this withknow it was wrong ofme.N e to treat you and her badly in the past, but you never gavethe chance to make it up to you two. How could I not help Sadie when she finally askedto? You should givea chance too."
Karen inhaled sharply. 'So Rita's kidnapping does have something to do with him!
