Sherman clenched his fists under the table, unsure of what to say.
Rita added, "I never meant to play the victim. I just want to tell you that I'd never approach someone I like using such means. Please givea little trust, considering how long we've known each other, okay?" She looked at Sherman hopefully, eager for a positive response. However, just as Sherman was contemplating, an unexpected person appeared.

But I guess I can make an exception if it's to see Sherman. Just tellnext time, okay? After all, he's my future son-in-law, so I should meet him too." Rita's expression immediately changed. "What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?" She glanced at Sherman, who was looking at her with disdain. "Trust me, I don't know what he's doing here!" "Silly child, things have already cto this point, and you still want to hide it? How could I have found this place if you hadn't toldthe meeting place in advance? Although you're about to bechusband and wife, honesty is still important in such small matters. That's the only way a marriage would last longer." Vince spoke with the tone of someone experienced, which made Rita feel even more disgusted. She could not figure out how he knew that she and Sherman had arranged to meet at this location.
Sherman had not said a word from the moment Vince walked in, but anyone could see that the temperature around him was dropping.
'Do they think I'm a fool?' thought Sherman.
"You have to believe me! I really don't know why my father did what he did. I never thought of using surveillance footage to threaten You cto save me, I'm well aware of that. It's my fault for not handling things properly. Here, take back this flash drive! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Rita even deliberately avoided Vince's hand and handed the USB flash drive she found to Sherman. However, to her surprise, Vince chuckled lightly.
"My dear child, how long do you plan on deceiving him? There's no information on this flash drive. Giving it to him is useless. Both of you should stop fighting the Pret wedding. It's a good thing that our families are going to be connected through marriage." Sherman's outreached hand paused in mid-air. He instinctively looked at Rita, only to find her eyes were filled with shock as well.

'Is she genuinely unaware, or is she collaborating with her father to m deceiveagain?' Sherman no longer had the patience to figure it out.
"How is this possible? This is clearly the only original copy. Are you trying m to deceive me?" Rita anxiously e spught an answer from her father. She had gone to great lengths to steal the flash drive, only to be told by him that there was nothing on it. "Heh, I knew you would do
something like this. As my daughter, you need to listen to me, even if I tell you to marry someone of my m choosing. I've already spoken with Sherman's elders, so I can't let you two continue on with this nonsense. I advise you not to waste your time. If I say there's nothing inside the drive, then there's nothing inside it." X
