The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2857

"The reason you're so weak right now is because you've been running around too much outside. You might as well take this time at home to rest properly," Vince suggested.

Rita nodded and quietly ate her breakfast.

Vince looked at her and felt that his daughter had grown up. Perhaps she could understand his intentions.

Little did he know that she was already planning to search the study for evidence once he was out of the house.

With only Vince having a job, the atmosphere at the table changed completely once he left. Rita did not say a word but subtly moved her seat further away from Karen.

"Hey, weren't you sitting close to me? Why the sudden change?" Karen remarked.

Rita replied with a smile, "Oh, I'm afraid my negative energy might affect the baby in your belly,"

She remembered Karen saying something similar when she initially tried to get close to her. Karen had said Rita brought back luck, and that supposedly caused her mother's death. Rita had kept that in mind for a long time.

Surprisingly, Karen nodded seriously. "Yes, it was pure luck I was able to conceive. It's better for you to stay away. After all, your father is hoping for a son from me! I'll give him what your mother couldn't!"

Rita's hand holding a spoon paused in the air before she resumed eating as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, Donna could not contain her anger.

At this moment, Vince had gone to work.

The current household staff had been working there since Rita's mother was alive. Donna was about to serve pudding to Rita when she coincidentally overheard Karen's derogatory remarks about Rita.

Unable to contain her anger, Donna slammed the pudding onto the table. "Ma'am, aren't you being a little too harsh? Is this how you should speak to Miss Rita?"

"Oh, calm down. Who do you think you are? How dare a servant like you shout at me? Have you forgotten who's in charge here?" Karen retorted.

Donna chuckled softly. "I may not know who's in charge, but it certainly isn't you. This household bears the Russell surname, and at the very least, Mister Vince is in charge. So you have no right to speak like that to Miss Rita! I wonder what Mister Vince would say once he finds out you've been belittling his late wife."

Knowing Vince's penchant for putting on a loving facade, trouble would surely stir up if he were to hear what Karen had said about Rita's mother.

"You despicable creature, how dare you threaten me? Do you really think you're someone important?" Karen shot back.

Karen, pregnant with Vince's son, thought she was invincible. Thus, even though her baby bump was still not showing, she straightened up arrogantly.

Even Sadie frowned in disdain at Donna. 'Who does this servant think she is? How dare she talk back to Mom? How laughable!'

"You're right, I'm not someone important in this family. But don't think you are too, just because you're pregnant with Mister Vince's baby! You should really watch what you're saying. At the very least, you shouldn't have spoken like that to Miss Rita. After all, she's Mister Vince's only child right now. Ma'am, I suggest you take care of yourself and the baby in your baby. You can show off all you want once the baby isTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

born!" Donna retorted.

"Gasp! What a filthy mouth you have. Are you cursing my mother? I warn you: my father really values the baby in my mother's belly now. None of you will get away with it if anything were to happen to the baby!" shouted Sadie.

Karen took a couple of deep breaths, realizing her precious condition made her above these lowly people. Why bother getting angry with them?

"Miss Rita, the food has gone cold. Let me reheat it for you."
