Once they were outside the gate, Corinne stopped walking and looked at Rosie. "You can say whatever you want to say to me here."Rosie looked around her. "But there's a surveillance camera here. If I remember correctly, the surveillance system the Holdens use can pick up sounds as well."Corinne raised her eyebrow. "That is correct, but no one will check the records unless something out of the ordinary happens. You don't have to worry about anyone finding out about what you say to me."Rosie looked troubled. "But there's still a record of what I said. It's hard for me to say what I have to say when I know it'll leave a record. It's just too embarrassing. Corinne, why don't we go a bit further ahead? The surveillance camera won't be able to pick up our conversation if we go to that alley there. What do you say?"Corinne looked up at the surveillance camera, and then at the alley Rosie was pointing at. Not only would the surveillance camera be unable to pick up any sound from there,

Rosie looked down at Corinne's unmoving body with hatred."Did you really think you could drive a wedge between Anya and me? Well, you're a fool if you think I'm going to believe anything you say. You deserve every bad thing coming for you, you shameless b*tch!"Rosie waited a few more minutes to make sure Corinne was dead before running hysterically into the Holdens' mansion, shouting, "Grandpa Greg! Grandma Pamela! Francine! Come out quick! Corinne has been hit by a car!"Bowen was the first to rush out. "What did you say, Miss Rosie?!" he asked with shock."I told Corinne she didn't have to see me off, but she insisted on walking me to a spot where it'll be easier to call for a taxi. I couldn't. She wouldn't listen to me, so I let her walk me there. A car suddenly sped out of the alley and hit Corinne! It was a hit-and-run!" whimpered Rosie."What?!" exclaimed Pamela who, along with Greg, had come out in time to hear what happened. She turned pale and nearly fainted, but Greg m

Lucas' punch startled everyone.Francine ran over and shoved Lucas away. "Why did you hit my brother? Who do you think you are?! You have no right to meddle in our family affairs!" she shouted.Jeremy simply wiped away the blood from his lips and strode to the surgery room. He was about to push open the door when Tommy stopped him."Mister Jeremy, you'll only serve as a distraction to the doctors if you go in now. Why don't you let the doctors do what they do best and wait outside?"Jeremy lost his mind when he heard Corinne was hit by a car. At that moment, his eyes were blood-red, but Tommy's words seemed to have hit the mark because he seemed to have calmed down slightly.He turned to Greg and Pamela, who were comforted by their servants. He wanted to ask them what happened but feared that by doing so, it would worsen their already ill health. Thus, he turned to Francine instead."Come here, Francine."Francine immediately walked over. "Yes, Jeremy?""I saw her go into the m

"What?! Corinne's pregnant?" exclaimed Pamela in shock when she heard what Rosie said. She quickly got up and walked over to them. "Jeremy, is this true?"Jeremy had not announced Corinne's pregnancy to his family as he was worried Pamela would insist on plying Corinne with all sorts of nutritious food. He knew Corinne would be too kind to turn down, and she would end up with dangerously excessive nutrients.At this point, however, there was no need to hide the news of the pregnancy from his family. Thus, he nodded at Pamela.This seemed to make Pamela even more worried as not only did she fear for Corinne's life but also the unborn baby's. All of a sudden, she was hit with nausea, chest tightness, and difficulty in breathing.Jeremy reached out to steady his grandmother. Then, with a frown, he said to Francine, "You! Help Grandma to the chair."Francine did as she asked without protest, which was rare. She led Pamela to the waiting chair to rest.Not wanting to be interrogated b

"No, that's impossible! What are you doing outside here? You should be inside trying to save her! Go back inside this instant!" roared Jeremy. He grabbed the doctor's collar hysterically. "You better save her this instant, or I'll burn this hospital to the ground!"Tommy came over to stop him. "Mister Jeremy! Mister Jeremy… The doctor did his best, and I'm sure he didn't want this to happen too… Please calm down!"Lucas, who was in shock from the pain of losing Corinne, regained his senses. He walked up to Jeremy and started punching him hard, causing him to let go of the doctor."Jeremy, this is both our fault! We were supposed to protect her! The only people we should hit are ourselves! Just when I finally found her… I can't believe I lost her again…"…Amid the chaos, Rosie snuck out to the stairwell so she could call Anya.The call quickly went through since Anya had been waiting for the call for a very long time."How's everything, Rosie?""Anya, I did it! The doctor just

Why did things have to be this way?Lucas wanted nothing more than to switch places with Corinne. How he wished he was the one who got hit by the car instead!At that moment, Rosie—who just finished calling Anya—came over with a bottle of water. Out of guilt, she did not dare to be anywhere near Jeremy. She walked past him to get to Lucas so she could pass the bottle of water to him."Lucas, do you want any water? I know you're sad about Corinne's death, but what's done is done. Please feel better soon."Lucas glared at her. "Why are you still here? Corinne would've been safe at home if it weren't for you! Get lost! I don't want to see your hypocritical face here!"He sent the bottle of water flying through the air. Rosie stepped back out of shock."Lucas, is Corinne that important to you?" she asked weepily.Lucas was in no mood to talk to her, so he warned her, "I'm only going to warn you one last time. Get lost, or else!""But I have nothing to do with Corinne's death, Lucas

Meanwhile, in another hospital ward, Pamela woke up from her unconsciousness with a splitting headache. She blinked a few times to take in her surroundings and realized Greg and Francine were sitting by her bedside.Francine grabbed her hand and said emotionally, "Grandma! You're finally awake! You nearly scared me and Grandpa to death when you passed out!"Greg sighed with relief, but he then frowned and said harshly, "I told you, you shouldn't have come to the hospital! Now look at all the extra trouble you've caused us!"Not in the mood to deal with him, Pamela ignored him. Even though she did not remember why she fainted, she did remember why she came to the hospital in the first place.She grabbed Francine's hand to help herself up. "Francine, how are Corinne and the baby now?"Francine's expression slowly fell apart. She did not know how to answer Pamela as she feared her grandmother would faint again if she told her the truth. Thus, she looked to Greg for help.Greg knew w

Having her worst fear confirmed, Pamela started to become hysterical. She threw off her blanket and got down from the bed, despite Greg and Francine stopping her."If you two won't tell me, I'll go ask the doctor myself!"Greg tried to get a hold of her, but there was not much he could do while being wheelchair-bound. Thus, he quickly ordered, "Francine, get your Grandma back here! She cannot find out the truth. The doctor said she'll have another heart attack if she gets triggered again!"Francine quickly chased after her grandmother, who did not even bother to put on her shoes before she ran out of the hospital ward.Francine managed to catch up to her. With the help of their servants, they carried Pamela back to the hospital ward, despite the old woman's protest.Corinne's death had become an irreversible fact, so the only thing they could do was to make sure Pamela did not suffer any ill effects.Greg immediately called for a doctor to give Pamela a shot of sedative once she

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
