"I even gave you a cold shoulder when we met that day, but you still helpedout. How magnanimous of you, Mister Sherman," said Rita sulkily, unable to control her disappointment. She did not know what was wrong with her.
"Miss Rita, I don't just help anyone with their troubles. It's also because we have a connection. Our interactions the last two times maderealize you're definitely not that kind of person. Besides, our cooperation with your family's company is also on the agenda, so helping you can be seen as doing a favor for your father as well," Sherman said, not entirely sincere.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the dinner party he attended last time, he was clear that he absolutely could not cooperate with such a company, let alone talk about putting it on the agenda.
Rita looked up with surprise. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She never imagined it would be for such a reason.
"You're indeed magnanimous, Mister Sherman. Thank you so much." Rita took a deep breath, putting on a smile again. "How can I repay you? It wouldn't be fair forto benefit from your kindness without reason." "There's no need. I didn't really do much." Sherman waved his hand, but he frowned subconsciously when he heard Rita say that.
Rita's smile grew even brighter. "No, that won't do. After all, we're not really that close." "Well, if you insist on repaying me, then... " Sherman replied only after the beer.
Rita perked up, listening intently. "What is it?" "Promisenot to get involved in the developer's affairs anymore. This matter is not as simple as you imagine." Rita gradually retreated to her original position, leaning back on the sofa as if she had gathered enough confidence.
"What do you mean? I thought I made it clear last time. There's no reason to keep stoppingsince it has nothing to do with your company. The more you stop me, the more suspicious I becof you." Whenever this matter was brought up, the two could not help but quarrel.

It's completely. different from your colleagues smearing you. Your life coul@be at risk! I don't think your father would want his precious daughter to get involved in such things." "Why you!" Rita was somewhat angry; she hated mixing work with personal matters. However, Sherman's meaning was already very clear-if she did not agree to withdraw from this case, he would tell her father.
"So it's that dangerous, huh? It
seems like I've chosen the right direction. Virgil and his family aren Wonder how many other residents were forced out by similar means!" said Rita critically.
Initially, the developer had impressed everyone by perfectly resolving all the residents' issues, even getting nts' featured in a few interviews. In the end, they had resorted to such dishonorable tactics. "You can rest assured that if it's their
fault, I won't let them off the hook. It's also my company's fault for not investigating thoroughly enough! before the handover. I'll make sure to give the residents a proper explanation on behalf of Parr Group, so don't worry." With Sherman saying this, Rita did not have much else to say. However, she still was not willing to give up on this investigation so easily.
