Simona felt a twinge of concern for Rita because she knew Sherman was the kind of person who would not commit such misdeeds.

"Okay, that's enough. Please stop worrying about this. I promise I'll have it resolved within two days. This is the time for you to enjoy your retirement. I've said time and again not to worry so much about me, especially when it comes to relationship matters," Sherman said to them.

Chelsea grumbled, "We wouldn't be so worried if you had a girlfriend by now. Now you ended up being set up, and I can't imagine how indecent she must be to act this way."

Sherman frowned and retorted instinctively, "That's out of character for her. She's nothing like her father, and I'm quite sure that she doesn't have a single clue about what her father has done."

It was the first time Sherman had spoken up for someone else. The elders exchanged secretive glances, believing that there was a chance for Sherman to finally get a partner.

"If you truly have feelings for her, perhaps you should consider accepting their proposal. You'll at least have some control over what seems to be an uncertain situation," Sherman's father suggested. Sherman shook his head. "I can't say for sure, but I can vouch for her character."

With Sherman insisting on his point of view, the elders saw no reason to worry any further. Unfortunately, Vince's unexpected intrusion disrupted a long-awaited family reunion, casting a pall over their happiness.

Unbeknownst to them, Vince had more tricks up his sleeve.
