"Vince! Have you seen this news?" Karen burst into Vince's office and was visibly distressed.
Vince glanced up from the document he was reading. "What's with you today? Can't you see I'm busy? How
many times must | remind you to act with grace and composure? You're the Russells’ missus now. You cannot act
like you did in the past."
Karen clutched her chest in agitation. "You can't expectto stay calm after reading this news. | rushed here
the moment | saw this! Here, see for yourself!"
"What could possibly make you so-" Vince initially gave the news a casual glance, but his expression soon soured
as he digested the headline and the accompanying photo.
"This is preposterous!" he exclaimed, slamming his hand on the solid wood table.
Karen flinched at first, but she immediately grabbed his hand and inspected it to make sure he did not hurt
himself. She soon found that it was entirely red. "You can get angry, but don't hurt yourself by acciden because
of that anger," she implored.
"When did this happen?" Vince's face turned ashen as he glanced unhappily at Karen.
"I have no idea when your precious daughter landed herself in this mess," Karen replied. "I wouldn't have known
about it at all if Sadie hadn't handedthe newspaper."
Such was the difference between
Karen and Vince's attitude toward
Rita. When Vince saw the news, the first emotion he felt was pure distress and concern. Though he could not

on the ground with an assailant like that was simply too much for him to bear.
Moreover, the article's insinuations were designed to stoke the salacious imaginations of the public. It was
slander through and through!
"Who's the publishing house of this newspaper? I'm going to sue them!" Vince thundered as he slammed his
palm on the table again. He got up from his seat abruptly and planned to head over to the publisher. He wanted
to give them a piece of his mind for writing up such a provocative article about his daughter!
Karen intervened swiftly. "What good will it do to storm into their offices now? The damage is done, and the news
has been published! You'll only draw more attention to this if you act rashly. Do you want Rita's reputation to be
tarnished forever?"
"How is this related to Rita?" Vince scoffed. "The language they use makes it clear that they were trying to leave
things up to the imagination, and it doesn't take a genius to see what their true intentions are. Rita is the victim
here. | have every right to confront the publisher!"
Karen seethed with frustration when she saw that his concern over Rita never seemed to wane in favor of Sadie.
