"Yeah, you, of course! Otherwise, why would I bother to beat them up so hard?" replied Sherman.
Rita felt an indescribable sense of gratitude. Her eyes becteary as she looked at Sherman, and he found it somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze.
He reached out and gently covered her eyes with one hand. "Hurry up and ask your question." With someone backing her up, Rita straightened her shoulders and stepped out confidently from behind Sherman. She paced back and forth in front of Esmond's men, feeling like a sheep in wolf's clothing. "You said someone's words had misled your boss. Who is that person?" Rita asked.

Rita clicked her tongue. "Alright, how about this? Just nod or shake your heads. That way, when your boss wakes up, he won't know what you've said." The henchmen's eyes lit up! 'What a good idea,' they thought.
"Did your boss order you to find out if the woman I'm investigating is named Karen Parr?" Rita asked.
Their eyes widened in surprise. They had not expected Rita to know about that woman. With that, there was no point in hiding anything anymore. They nodded in unison. "Very well. Seems like my stepmother really has it out for me," Rita remarked.
She followed up with another question. "Was Esmond responsible for selling the land to the Parr family back then?" The henchman nodded in unison again.
"Good, you're being honest. Now, I want to ask: did you fulfill the promises of new houses and subsidies for those residents you displaced?" Rita's expression grew increasingly serious.
The group hesitated, unsure whether to nod or not While they indeed did not give out the compensation, admitting to it in front of someone else was extremely difficult. They knew they had essentially deprived those residents of the homes they had worked hard for most of their lives to obtain.
"Huh, you can see the rights and wrongs clearly when it comes to your boss's affairs, readily sharing everything But when it comes to your own involvement in wrongdoing, you dare not admit it. But what's the use of denying it? What's done won't disappear with time. My goal is to expose you all and ensure you receive the appropriate punishment." Rita frowned, causing everyone to forget about her beautiful face. It was then they realized they were dealing with a reporter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter asking these three questions, Rita turned and approached Sherman again.
"Aren't you going to ask anything else?" Sherman inquired.
Rita sighed and shook her head. "No. After all, they're just working under someone else. Asking too much might not end well for them in the future. As a reporter, my primary task is to rely on my own investigation. It's pointless to extract answers forcibly."
She only needed to ensure her correct.
investigative direction was correct. As for Karen, that was their family Karen, the matter. She would never let that s woman off the hook. It made her sick to her stomach how her v
stepmother kept plotting behind her back to harm her while pretending to be pitifu in front of her father. "Alright, let's go back," said Rita.
Sherman released Esmond, who collapsed to the ground as soon as he let go. Peter Grill CH/F-PSE
