Chapter 2893 Rita never knew that she had becsuch a troublemaker in her father's eyes. "Fine. If you say I'm in the wrong, then please enlighten us on what exactly I've done to offend you, and why that somehow made you decide to put on this act in front of my father," Rita retorted. She leaned back in her chair and smirked at Sadie. Sadie frantically waved. "I'm not accusing you of anything! This is just a misunderstanding on Dad's part. "She turned to Vince and tried explaining, "Rita didn't do anything. It's all my fault! I was just upset when I woke up. It has nothing to do with Rita. Don't take all this the wrong way. I miss Rita a lot now that she doesn't cback often." Rita's smirk only fueled Vince's anger. "Unbelievable! Show srespect, Rita. Now that I've seen you threaten Sadie right before my eyes without even the slightest hesitation, I can't imagine what you've done to her when I'm not around. Apologize to Sadie right now, and promiseyou'll never behave this way again." Vince had no idea what Rita had done, but her demeanor stoked his anger so severely that he felt the need to demand that Rita apologize to Sadie.

"I don't mind apologizing, but I need to know what it is I'm apologizing for. Why don't you tellwhat it is I've done, Sadie? Or perhaps you haven't figured out what lies you were planning to tell them to makelook bad?" "You're crossing the line!" Vince slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
"Tell that to yourself!" Rita flung her utensils aside, stunning everyone present. No one had expected her to have the audacity to throw cutlery in front of her father! "You made a mess of the marriage that I arranged for you, and now you can't even show srespect to me! It's unbecoming of you to throw your utensils in a fit! I can't imagine how you'll treatwhen I get older," Vince thundered.
Karen added fuel to the fire. "Your father is right, Rita. Throwing your cutleries away like that is very rude! Your father's words might sound harsh, but he's only mad at you because he cares for you. You know how happy he is that you cback after so long. Why don't you just apologize to him so we can all move on?" "I wasn't talking to you, Aunt Karen. Don't butt in the conversation. You speak as if you're trying to defend me, but you're indirectly trying to convey that I've done something wrong. All I did was head upstairs and tell Sadie that it was tto eat. What else did you expectto do in that short tframe? Your daughter's tears have nothing to do with me. It's you who failed as a parent," Rita retorted as she rested her arms on the table.
"I'm not surprised, though. I can imagine how challenging it would be to raise a well-behaved daughter with an ex-husband like that," Rita added casually.
