NovelAppRita frowned. "If someone doubts my innocence because of this kind of news, | have no reason to marry that
man. Besides, it's the twenty-first century now. Everyone has ssort of past, and only old- fashioned people
care about whether someone has had previous relationships. Dad, you're not one of those old-fashioned people,
are you?"
"Where are you going with this? Having a past and being defiled by a vagrant are two completely different
things! I'm warning you: sort this out quickly, or you can forget about being a reporter!"
"Dad!"
Vince waved, his decision already made. Perhaps he had been too lenient with his daughter. Who would have
thought she would be so careless about her reputation? Rita could have her freedom, but only as long as it did
not jeopardize her future interests.
As Vince looked at his daughter, who had grown to be a head shorter than him, all he could think of was her
future.
'She's still too young to understand that I'm only looking out for her. When she gets older, perhaps she'll
understand my intention," he thought.
Rita's anger flared. "Dad, you're meddling in my life! You clearly said that if | could achieve something within a

different from what you promised."
"I made that promise because | didn't expect you to create this kind of news! You've barely written a few reports
of your own, and now you're making front-page headlines. Do you think that's acceptable? You need to consider
not only yourself but also the reputation of the whole family. How would the company's shareholders feel
knowing that the esteemed Miss Rita Russell has fallen into such depravity? What about the investors who
bought stocks in our company?"
"In the end, you only care about your
company, not me. If my actions didn't affect the stock prices, would you even care aboutbeing assaulted by
a vagrant? I've been hfor so long, and you've never askedwhat happened that night, or what happened
afterward... What a great Dad you are!" Rita said sarcastically, tears welling up in her eyes.
Rita knew she should not care so much, but she still felt unsettled inside. After all, he was her father, yet he
changed himself for that woman!
Vince could not find the words to speak, his throat tight with emotion. "You're standing here in front of me, so
you're definitely..."
"I'm definitely what? All | know is since | chuntil now, you haven't askedanything. | know it's
natural for you to get lonely after Mom's gone, so it's just a matter of tyou find someone new. But I didn't
expect that while you were also forget about me. Sometimes |

"Nonsense!" Vince slammed his hand on the coffee table. "When did | forget about your mother? I've never
forgotten about her."
Rita genuinely found it amusing.
