Chapter 2914
Rita did not even glance back as she went to her father's study, leaving Sadie alone on the floor.
Sadie gritted her teeth as she watched Rita's retreating figure. "I swear you'll pay for what you said today, Rita!"
A servant downstairs saw Sadie on the floor and hurried over to help her up. "Miss, you should be more careful. Did you hurt yourself?"
Sadie, instead of being grateful, slapped the servant hard across the face. "I know you're all on that woman's side. You're only here to mock me, right? Get lost, now!"
"I didn't..." The servant covered her face and ran off crying, leaving Sadie alone, silently seething.
She knew that if she caused more trouble, Vince would definitely hear of it. By then, she and her mother would both be in trouble.
Rita had Sherman's support, which meant she did not need to fear Vince. Sadie, on the other hand, could not afford to do that as she still needed Vince for her survival.
'It's okay,' Sadie reassured herself. 'Once Esmond deals with Rita, everything this family has will belong to me and Mom! No one will dare to bully me again. No servant will dare to act superior over me. It'll all be mine!'

That brat Rita came back today, and you're leaving me to deal with her?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
The more Rita investigated, the harder it became for Karen to handle. Plus, she was experiencing brain fog due to her pregnancy. Sometimes, she inadvertently fell into Rita's traps and said things she did not want to bring up in front of Vince, especially about Esmond. After all, he was her ex-husband while Vince was her current one. No matter how generous Vince was, he would not tolerate her ex-husband coming back into her life.
Sadie smiled. She needed to confirm the details with Esmond again. She had to ensure Rita had no way out, that Rita would never set foot in the house again.
"Mom, who'd dare to give you a hard time now that you're carrying a baby boy? You'll only need to sit comfortably on the couch and focus on nurturing the baby. I'm going out now for our future. I'm going out frequently precisely because I want a stable future for us. Once everything is settled, I'll tell you all about it.
Karen looked at her with suspicion. "What can you do for our future? All you need to do is just stay home and study. Although your father doesn't say it, he does care about your grades,"
