Chapter 2934
Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?" Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?
"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"
Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead.
"Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita goes, or I go! Only one of us can make it out alive," snarled Sadie.
Alas, she never expected Vince to kick open the door, startling both women. Karen, with tears in her eyes, looked at him with shock. "Vince, I can explain! Sadie was just joking..."
Sadie's expression was one of fear, at a loss for how to explain herself to Vince. She eventually lowered her head in guilt. When facing Rita, all her hatred was justified. Vince, however, had been kind to her all along. It was difficult for her to face him while threatening to kill his daughter.
Vince sneered. "Well, well. I never expected the stepdaughter I've been raising all these years would turn out to be so ungrateful. You should know very well I treated you with nothing but kindness, right, Sadie? Is this how to repay me? How can you conspire with your biological father to hurt my daughter? Sadie Ru-
"No. You're not a Russell. Looks like you've never forgotten you're a Parr after all. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have married your mother. I'm to blame for putting Rita's life in danger."
"No! Dad, please don't say that. It's my fault, all my fault.! If I hadn't been so foolish, I wouldn't have been manipulated by Esmond to do this. Dad, you have to believe me! This is all part of Esmond's plan!
"He wants to reconcile with Mom, so he instigated all this to make you divorce Mom. Then he can get back together with Mom. Dad, please believe me. I never intended to do this!"
Karen glared at her daughter. Sadie had indeed surpassed her in cunningness. To clear herself of suspicion, she dragged her own mother into the mess!
'Foolish girl. Doesn't she know there's no way Vince-unless he has dementia-will ever believe her again at this point?' thought Karen.
