Seeing this, Corinne quickly helped Pamela up. She propped up her pillow behind her so it would be more comfortable for her to lean against the headrest.After settling herself, Pamela patted Corinne's hand. "Corinne, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? I would've still been kept in the dark about it if it weren't for what happened today."Corinne smiled and explained, "I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. I just didn't want you to worry about me and…stopping me from doing all sorts of things to keep the baby safe."Pamela frowned. "We're family. How can I not worry about you and the baby? You're both equally important to me! Look what happens when I'm not there to stop you from doing things! You got hit by a car, for god's sake! Fortunately, you're still alive. I don't think I can handle losing you and the baby."Corinne nodded docilely. "Okay, I promise you I'll listen to everything you say from now on."A smile finally appeared on Pamela's face. 'Thank god both she

"Hey, Mister," Corinne called out to Jeremy softly as she walked toward him.Jeremy turned to look at her and put out the cigarette silently.Corinne looked up at him. "Why are you hiding and smoking here all alone? Don't you wanna know how your grandmother is doing?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes. There was no obvious change to his expression. "How is she doing?""She's already woken up and eaten something. She's actually doing pretty well.""Good," uttered Jeremy emotionlessly.Corinne was not used to him acting like this. "Are you angry at me for interrupting your smoking session?" she asked with a frown.Jeremy simply looked at her silently.Corinne waited for him to answer her question, but it was all in vain."Well, I'm sorry for bothering you," she said testily. "You can carry on what you were doing 'cause I'm going to go back now."After that, she turned around and was about to leave when Jeremy suddenly asked in an inscrutable tone, "Was it fun?"Stunned, Corinne stopped

Corinne could still feel Jeremy trembling slightly. 'Seems like he's still traumatized by what happened…'In some twisted way, she felt rather touched as no one ever cared that much about her before. After Emily went missing, Corinne was treated worse than a stray by the people who were supposed to take care of her."Mister, what would you do if I truly died back there?"…Phoebe, who was in the apartment, had settled down with a sheet mask on her face as she awaited good news from Anya. She thought their plan would work for sure this time, so she was understandably surprised when she received the news of Anya's arrest.'Lucas, Mom, and Dad all knew about Anya's arrest, yet they did nothing about it? Does that mean they've given up on her? Oh no, what should I do?! What should I do?!'She never expected Corinne would fake her death to trick Anya into exposing her true self.Phoebe kept pacing around in circles until the sound of her phone ringing brought her back to the present.

Joey fell backward from the force of impact and immediately cried."You mutt! How dare you spy on me?!" roared Phoebe."I… I…not spying on you," whimpered Joey.He really was not spying on her. He wanted to go out to the living room but was not sure whether it was safe for him to do so. He thought he would observe the situation outside first.Phoebe, who already thought of Joey as a nuisance, became even more irritated at him due to the anxiety and anger brought on by Anya's arrest. Thus, she decided to use him as a punching bag.She kicked him again. "This is all your fault! Nothing ever went right for Anya after she adopted you. We should've thrown you away the first chance we got!"Joey immediately curled up in pain.Almost every day, he would receive some kind of beating. Whenever Anya was upset, she would take it out on him. However, she would make sure to hit him on the parts of his body that would not be easily noticed should a bruise form. She was worried Lucas would fin

Sunny wiped away his tears with his arm and said chokingly, "But Mom, you should hear all the mean things she said about me, Lucas, Rosie, Francine, and even Jeremy! Not to mention, all the bad things she did over the years."I used to think she was the kindest and sweetest person in the world and that she deserved all the happiness in the world. That was why I hated Corinne so much 'cause she stole Jeremy away from Anya. That was why I kept causing trouble for her."So you can't blame me for saying Anya got what she deserved! She took advantage of our love and trust for her and hurt so many people in the past. She only has herself to blame. Neither I nor you can help her at this point!"I came here to find you to convince you to go along with Grandpa's arrangement. Go live in the summer villa, and take the time to do some self-reflection. You can come back once Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad have cooled down. But you should really give up the idea of getting Anya out. She needs to pay f

"Ma'am, please stop trying to escape. Mister Cedric and Mister Maxwell will have our heads if we fail to take you to the summer villa again," said the servant.Phoebe pushed him away hysterically. "Move out of the way! Who do you think you all are? You have no right to tell me what to do!"The servants had been tricked once, so this time, they decided to use force to carry out their orders. Two of them restrained Phoebe while the rest packed up her stuff.Since Phoebe had only stayed in the building for less than a day, there was not much stuff to pack. The servants collected the bits and pieces lying around the apartment in preparation to leave.Before they left, the lead servant heard the sound of crying coming from the bedroom, so he had his subordinate check on it."It's Mister Joey. He seems to be hurt 'cause he's curled up on the floor crying."The lead servant walked into the room. Joey was indeed curled up on the floor, trembling and crying. He was really quite pitiful to

"Don't ask me to calm down! How can I be calm when you're going to take my precious grandson from me?! That's as good as asking me to die!" screamed Phoebe hysterically.The lead servant sighed helplessly and ordered his subordinates. "Take Miss Phoebe and Mister Joey to the summer villa for now. I'll ask Mister Cedric for further instructions after this."Phoebe was not satisfied with the outcome. "What? You're not going to bring Joey to the hospital first?! What if something happens to him?""Don't worry, Ma'am. I've already checked, and Mister Joey only suffered some cuts and bruises. I'll get the doctor from the clinic near the summer villa to tend to his injuries once we're there," said the lead servant.Phoebe frowned. "No! I don't trust those hick doctors! Take Joey to the city's hospital now!"The servants were not going to fall for her trick this time."Ma'am, please understand we're just following orders. Mister Cedric is going to severely punish us if we let you escape

Corinne was not angry; she was just a little disappointed. "Did he say when he'll be back?"Annie shook her head. "Nope. He only told me to keep you company here until he comes back. And to make sure Francine doesn't do anything to make you angry.""Oh."At that moment, Francine's voice came from the door. "I'm not going to make her angry! I've accepted my fate and accepted her as my sister-in-law, okay?"Both Corinne and Annie looked toward the door. They saw Francine walking in huffily with her hands on her hips."Ugh. I can't believe Jeremy would rather entrust Corinne to you than me!"Annie rolled her eyes at her. "Well, it's not that surprising, considering how you treated Corinne in the past."Francine fell silent as the memories of all the mean things she did to Corinne rushed back into her mind. This filled her with shame.Seeing the two girls were about as compatible as oil and water, Corinne quickly interrupted, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving.""Yes!" said b

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
