"That child is getting more stubborn. | asked her to cback for the dinner party tomorrow, but she kept
making one excuse after another. Anyway, she agreed to cback," answered Vince.
"You should just be glad she's agreed to cback. It's not like you don't know she's an adult now, one with her
own thinking. All kids will leave the nest one day. Plus, she must be especially busy now that she's interning at
New Capital Times. What's more, she never once reveals to her colleagues she's an heiress. You need to give her
scredit for being such a sensible girl," said Karen with a smile.
Vince held her hand. "The kids have grown up and flown out of the nest. Luckily, | have you by my side. I'm sorry
for all the suffering Rita has put you through. She's not an ungrateful child; it's just that she misses her mother."
Karen patted his hand. "We've been married for so many years. How could | mind? I've also watched her grow
up, so how could | not know what kind of person she is? There's no need to apologize. It's all in the past. | just
hope she'll turn up for the dinner party tomorrow.
"I'm quite worried to see her burying her head at the newspaper agency, writing those trivial news articles while
all my friends" kids are getting married. | might not have given birth to her, but that doesn't mean my love for
her is any less than a real mother. | don't want to see her fall behind in life."
Karen's apparent concern for Rita greatly pleased Vince. "She's lucky to have a stepmother like you. Don't worry,
I've talked to her. She'll show up here on ttomorrow evening."
"Well, that's a relief, then."
When Karen returned to her room, her face fell. "That little runt is just like her dead mother. I've tried everything
to please her, but she's never once giventhe tof day! She has already hurt her father so much by
moving out as soon as she turned eighteen. Lord knows what worse things she's going to do in the future. |

servant chimed in, "Exactly! Miss Rita is getting more unruly. She hardly ever comes home! She doesn't behave
like the other young ladies from other respectable families at all!
"Look at Miss Sadie, so
well-behaved Her character is certainly commendable. Everyone praises you for being a good mother and raising
her well. Neither you nor Miss Sadie has anything to worry about, Ma'am. From the way see it, Mister Vince has a
lot of trust in you. He'll definitely give you half of his money when he dies."
"How can not worry given the situation? Look at the way he was just now, fretting over Rita just because she has
moved out! At the end of the day, he still carries his dead wife in his heart!"
Karen sighed. ‘That's just how men are. They always think the things they can get are the best.’
The servant remained silent. There were sthings she could comment on, and this was not one of those
things.
"By the way, where's Sadie?"
The servant immediately responded

Karen frowned. The servant, sensing her mood, moved closer to give her a massage.
