Anya shakily grabbed Lucas' legs."No, Lucas. It's not like that… Corinne's ghost made me say all those things! Even in death, she insists on making life hell for me! This is what she wanted! She won't stop until everyone leaves me! Lucas, you can't let her fool you!"Lucas looked down at her condescendingly and frowned with disgust. He then lifted his leg to make Anya let go and stepped back to distance himself from her.Not caring how pathetic she looked, Anya crawled toward him again, hoping he would eventually come to her rescue as usual.However, mid-way through, she heard Beatrice's voice coming from the door. "Anya, stop being so stubborn. Just admit you were wrong."This stopped Anya in her tracks. She turned toward the door, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw Beatrice walking through the door with Corinne supporting her. A split second later, Cedric also appeared with his personal butler.'Is that Corinne? Isn't she supposed to be dead?!' Anya snapped her head ba

Anya looked at Cedric pitifully. "Grandpa, I didn't! Corinne made me say all those things…"Cedric turned away in disappointment, unable to stand the sight of her. After all, she had brought nothing but shame to the family.Unable to get sympathy from anyone, Anya broke down into hysterics. Pointing at Corinne, she said, "This is all her doing! She's the mastermind behind all of this! She's supposed to be dead, yet she's standing there without a scratch on her!"Both Cedric and Beatrice frowned at how unrepentant Anya was.Corinne looked down at Anya and chuckled softly. "Without a scratch on me? Are you blind, Anya? Do you not see this thing on my head?" she asked as she pointed to her bandaged head.Anya frowned. If she could, she would have killed Corinne with her glare."Why did you pretend to be dead if it weren't to trick me into saying all those things?!""You're right," said Corinne with a nod. "I pretended to be dead for the precise reason you just mentioned."Anya's e

Several police officers immediately walked in. Two of them walked up to Rosie and put her in handcuffs while the rest lifted Anya from the floor and handcuffed her.It took Anya a few seconds to register what was happening, but when she did, she immediately struggled. "What is this? What right do you have to handcuff me?!" she screamed."Miss Anya, you're suspected of abetting others to commit contract killing. We need you to come with us to the station to help with the investigation," said the lead officer.Anya chuckled coldly. "Where's the proof of me having done what you're accusing me of? Did that b*tch Corinne put you all up to this? Heh! You'll be a fool if you think what she said can be trusted. I'm not going to the station with you all!"The lead officer frowned. "Miss Corinne has given us a piece of conclusive evidence. In the voice recording she provided us, you were heard encouraging Rosie to hire an outlaw to run Corinne over with a car. You now have to come to the sta

Both Cedric and Beatrice sighed as the police took away Anya. How could they not feel crestfallen that the granddaughter they loved and spoiled for so many years had fallen so far to the point of being jailed?However, they also knew Anya was no longer a child, so she must bear the consequences of her actions. Lucas, too, felt conflicted about Anya being taken away, but she had gone too far this time.He turned to Corinne. As much as he was relieved to see she was still alive, his heart ached when he saw her bandaged head. He could not help but wrap her up in a bear hug."Thank god you're still alive, Corinne! I was almost scared to death when I got the news…"Corinne did not put up a struggle. She did not hate Lucas as much as before but nor did she accept him fully. She simply stood quietly, enduring the hug.Except for the cut on her head, she was fine. Ever since she was nearly hit by a car three days ago, she knew she had to do something to protect herself as there was a high

Jeremy looked at Francine with half-narrowed eyes and an indecipherable expression.Francine had seen how Jeremy broke down after receiving news of Corinne's death, so she knew just how important she was to him. She also understood Jeremy must be feeling all sorts of emotions, so it was best for her to give the couple some space.Corinne walked up to him. "Hey, Mister."Only when she got closer did she realize Jeremy was holding an unlit cigarette between his fingers. She did not know why, but it seemed like it had been a long time since Jeremy smoked.Jeremy threw the unlit cigarette to a trash can not far away before taking off his jacket and putting it around Corinne's shoulders. After that, he silently turned and left.Corinne frowned and followed after him.As dense as Francine could be sometimes, even she could tell something was off about the way her brother and sister-in-law interacted with each other. Not daring to walk too close to them, she waited until they were a few

Edmund was about to follow Lucas out, but Beatrice grabbed his arm to stop him. "Stay here with us, Edmund.""Umm, I don't think…" said Edmund awkwardly.At that moment, all Lucas could think about was Corinne's condition, so he did not realize Edmund did not follow him out.As soon as Lucas was out of earshot, Beatrice asked, "Edmund, tell me the truth now! How did Lucas injure his foot? Is it serious?"Edmund did not want to worry Beatrice by leaving her there, even though the room they were in was not a real morgue but a room the hospital set up to look like one. It had been left unused for many years, so it was quite dank and dark. It was not the best place to leave two elderly people with frail health."Ma'am, Mister Lucas' injury isn't that serious. He only needs some rest, and he'll be good as new. Besides, he's not the type to take his health lightly. There's really no need for you to worry about him.""Stop giving me the roundabout, Edmund. I'm asking you how Lucas injur
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1034
Edmund never felt pressure like this before. "Sir, it's because…"Cedric glared at him. "You better not play dumb and tell us the truth. There'll be hell to pay if I detect a lie in your words!"'I can't keep it a secret anymore. They're going to find out sooner or later…' thought Edmund. He sighed helplessly and said, "It's because Miss Corinne is—""It's because she's your savior, Grandpa. We owe her that much," Lucas chimed in just in time.Cedric and Beatrice turned toward the door and saw Lucas limping back in with the help of his crutches.Edmund sighed in relief. Faced with Cedric's immense pressure, he nearly blurted Corinne's secret!Lucas limped up to Cedric and passed him a bottle of medicine. "Here's the blood pressure medicine you've asked for, Grandpa."Both Cedric and Beatrice were speechless. 'How did he get back so fast?'Lucas did not actually get the medicine himself. Halfway through, he suddenly realized Beatrice had sent him away on purpose, so he called hi

Lucas was afraid it would cause Corinne a lot of trouble if Pamela and Greg were to find out who she was. He failed to protect her before, so this time, he vowed to protect her at all costs.Meanwhile, in one of the high-end private hospital wards, Pamela was sleeping under the sedative's influence. She was frowning in her sleep as though she was having a nightmare.Greg was sitting in his wheelchair by the bed, looking at her worriedly. He knew his wife would ask about Corinne the moment she woke up, so it was best to let her sleep as long as she could.'Poor Corinne. Gone at such a young age…' he thought with a sigh."Hey, Grandpa Greg. How's Grandma Pamela doing?" asked Corinne from behind him.At that moment, Greg was so focused on Pamela that he did not recognize the voice to be Corinne's. Instead, he thought it was Francine who was asking."It'll take her some time to wake up," he replied as he turned around.He immediately jumped in fright when he saw who was standing beh

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2933
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
