Xante had Sunny backed into a corner again. Even though she was half a head shorter than him, he was actually scared of her.Still blushing, Sunny instinctively covered his chest with both of his hands. "You… You can't force me to take off my clothes!"Xante smiled mockingly at him. "Tsk, tsk! What a wuss. You shouldn't have followed me here if you're not ready to play along with me. Now go run home to your mommy."Sunny was at the age where his ego triumphed over everything. Thus, what he could not stand the most was to be mocked."Heh! Who are you calling a wuss?!" he shouted angrily.Xante raised her eyebrow. "Who else is there but you? As I said, you should go home now. I don't want your parents to come screaming at me and calling me a bad influence for bringing you here.""And as I said, I'm not a kid anymore! I don't need my parents' permission to do anything. You know what? I changed my mind! I'm going to take off my clothes to show you I'm not scared of you!"He then too

Throughout the call, never did Corinne once ask about Jeremy nor did Tommy mention him.'If Mister wanted me to know about something, he would've told me. I wouldn't need to ask other people about it. Since he doesn't want me to know what he's up to, there's no point in asking Tommy,' she thought.When night came, Tommy visited Corinne to give a status report on the task she asked him to do. Since it would be inappropriate to receive him into the bedroom, Corinne asked him to follow her to Jeremy's study."Ma'am, I already went to the Riveras to ask for custody of Mister Joey," said Tommy respectfully.Corinne was sitting casually on Jeremy's office chair with her cheek resting on her hand. "And what did they say?""Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice said you've mentioned Mister Joey's custody arrangement to them before. After careful consideration, they both think it's best for you and Mister Jeremy to take care of him."Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked at Tommy's sides. "So

Corinne waved her hand. "You don't have to say anything; my mind is made up. Have the car wait for me at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. And don't tell Grandma Pamela anything about this—I don't want her to worry."As reluctant as Tommy was about the plan, he did not try to convince her otherwise. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, Ma'am.""That'll be all for now. You may leave now.""Yes, Ma'am."After Tommy left, Corinne stayed seated on the chair. 'Ugh, this is so tiring,' she thought while rubbing her temples. She would have preferred to ask Aaron to help with the arrangement, but he had not returned from attending a seminar abroad.Xante, too, was not in the city, and Corinne did not want to ask her to come back for such a trivial matter. Thus, that left only Tommy to handle the arrangement. It was just as well as it would make it look more legit if a staff member from the Holden family helped Corinne request an audience with Phoebe.After all, out of the two of them, only J

Chester suddenly shouted behind Corinne.Corinne stopped and turned around.Francine was a little surprised. She looked at Chester, then at Corinne suspiciously."I mean, if that's okay with you," said Chester cautiously when Corinne made no replies.Corinne deliberated for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Okay. We can talk outside the yard. It's getting stuffy in here, so I could use some fresh air.""Sure thing," said Chester with a nod.After that, they all went down the stairs together.Once at the entrance, Chester turned and said, "Francine, thanks for seeing me off, but I'd like to have a private word with Corinne. Please don't follow me out."As much as Francine was not happy with the request, she did not dare object Chester."Oh… Okay," she said with a nod. She then watched helplessly as Chester and Corinne walked out of the door before quickly running over to the floor-to-ceiling window to spy on them.Francine was quite angry when she found out Chester use

Chester knew he overstepped his boundaries. He dropped his head and sighed helplessly before looking up at Corinne with passion in his eyes."Corinne, if… And I mean if…one day you became single again, would you consider—""By the way, Chester, how do you feel about Francine?" interrupted Corinne with a smile. She knew what he wanted to say, so she cut him off."What… What do you mean?" asked Chester, flustered.Corinne smiled. "Let me put it another way. What do you think of her?""Well, she's quite okay, I guess… But why are you asking?"Corinne smiled mysteriously. "That's good enough. It's getting late so I won't keep you anymore. I'm sure Francine has arranged for a car to send you back. It should be waiting at the main entrance."Corinne's polite but firm way of asking him to leave made it difficult for Chester to say anything else. Thus, he gave her a polite nod and made his way to the entrance.After watching his retreating figure for a bit, Corinne started making her w

"Is this Francine? Your brother is still sleeping. Did something urgent happen? Should I wake him up, or do you want to call him again later?" asked the woman.At the mention of her name, Francine immediately realized the woman obviously knew Jeremy well. However, she did not recognize the woman's voice, so she had no idea whether it was anyone from their circle of friends.Still, she knew she should not say more in front of Corinne, so she said to the woman on the phone, "It's nothing urgent. I'll call him again later."After that, she quickly hung up the phone and looked toward Corinne to check her reaction. If it were any other woman, she would have snatched the phone away from Francine and asked the same question Francine did, or even straight away cursing her.However, Corinne was not any other woman—she did not even react. She simply looked away and said nothing.'Sh*t. Her reaction is not normal. This is all my fault. I should say something to help Jeremy out…' thought Fran

Corinne was in the shower when her phone started ringing. However, it switched off not long after as it had run out of battery. After blow-drying her hair, Corinne connected her phone to the charger and went to sleep without turning it back on.The next morning, Corinne left for the summer villa after taking her breakfast and giving Pamela a safe excuse as to where she was going. Pamela, ever the worrier, was reluctant to let Corinne go out alone, but she felt more reassured after knowing Tommy would be accompanying her.'Jeremy must've arranged security detail for Corinne,' thought Pamela.Since it was a weekend, it meant Chester would be coming in the morning to tutor Francine, so she woke up earlier than usual to tidy up her room. At first, being worried about Corinne going out alone, she wanted to accompany her. However, she did not really want to miss the chance to see Chester. In the end, she chose to stay at home to wait for Chester after learning Tommy would be accompanying

Corinne would hate to be one of those women whose whole world revolved around a man. Previously, she left Jeremy once because of the misunderstanding Anya caused, so she did not want to make the same mistake again.She would wait for Jeremy to return and explain everything to her, but until then, she had to brace herself for the worse. As a matter of fact, she was proud of herself for being so clear-headed. After all, how could she expect her husband to be loyal when her own father was a dirtbag who betrayed her mother?Also, she read many reputable social research reports that said the probability of men cheating on their pregnant wives was very high. Previously, she thought Jeremy was better than most men, or at least he was not the fickle type. However, the recent incident made her believe all men, with no exception, were the same; they all liked to sow their seeds around."Okay, I'll ask him when he returns," said Corinne.Seeing how listless Corinne looked, Tommy became worrie

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
