"What the hell is he talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to marry him? What happened while I was still in the hospital?' thought Rita, feeling as if she had been frozen to the spot.

They had been through a lot together. They had shared hardships, and their relationship had progressed further. She never expected him to fall in love with her, but she liked him and hoped he would pay more attention to her. However, she never expected this outcome. Her family had already blocked her path before she even had the chance to make Sherman like her.
"Dad, tellhonestly, did you go to see Mister Sherman? What did you do?" asked Rita.
Vince was caught off-guard by Rita's question. He stammered, "What do you mean, see Mister Sherman? Do you really think he's someone I can just go see whenever I want? Huh, you're really overestimating your old man." Rita was frantic. Her father was still trying to deceive her! "Don't think you can fool me. Mister Sherman has toldeverything.

"Huh! That daughter of mine is just too naive so she's often clueless, As her father, I naturally have to make NO sure she doesn't get taken advantage of. Wouldn't you agree, Mister Sherman?" Sherman nodded. "A father should naturally think more for his children."
Still, Vince did not seem as loving toward his children as he portrayed. Otherwise, he would not have let his daughter suffer because of Karen and Sadie. Of course, Sherman did not point this to him. וויד
"That's right. Since you also agree, be straightforward with you. I've om retrieved all the surveillance footage from that day, and I hope you ean I take responsibility for this matter," said Vince. Sherman did not immediately grasp the situation and even chuckled softly.
