Corinne shut her eyes momentarily as though tired. The exhausted expression made her endearing face look stern.

She said, "Mister, I hope we'll have more trust for each other. You don't have to be so guarded and fear I'd cheat on you. Please give me some space! I told you I'd never have an affair before the three months are over. Just trust me on that!"

Jeremy looked at her unblinkingly. "You thought I was worried about you?"

Corinne looked up, tilted her head, and looked at him with her widened eyes. "What else could it be? You wouldn't have gone to the party ground that's not even to your liking, and you wouldn't have come into the room to check on mine and embarrass my classmate if you weren't worried about me!"

Jeremey said faintly, "Miss Carew, please remember about our partnership. Inevitably, I hold partial responsibility for your safety during these three months. I'm not suspecting you, but the things that have me worrying are those male classmates around you. Can't you tel

    Despite having lost a section of her memory, Corinne did not bother too much about it. It only bothered her that she still had not changed out of her clothes after having been outside, and she had not even showered. The feeling discomforted her.Thus, she groggily got up from the bed and took out a set of clean clothes from the wardrobe. She pushed open the bathroom door and entered—There was steam in the bathroom, and the water was running. The bathroom was warm too.'Did I turn on the water for the bathtub when I came back and forgot to turn it off?' she thought.She curiously entered to check the bathtub when all of a sudden, the visual of a naked man with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a muscular frame greeted her eyes.The bathing man turned to look back when he heard shuffling behind him. At that moment, they made eye contact.One's eyes were vicious and sharp, and the other's were surprised and ashamed.With the sight snapping her entirely out of her drowsiness, she

    The maid stopped and answered, "Madam Pamela is leaving, ma'am."'Grandma is leaving?' thought Corinne.She began fearing for the worst, worried that what Francine did yesterday had scarred Pamela. Just then, she heard her calling her name softly."Corinne."She looked up and saw Pamela walking over slowly to her."Grandma, I heard that you're leaving," Corinne said.Pamela smiled kindly and sighed helplessly. "That's right. I need to go back to your grandfather. That stubborn old man refused to listen, even after he had just had his operation. He doesn't follow the doctor's orders when I'm not around, so I need to go back and keep an eye on him.""I see." Once Corinne knew that was the reason why Pamela had to go back, she knew better than to ask her to stay longer. "Grandma, you have to look after yourself too. Have a safe journey home."Pamela nodded and held Corinne's hand softly. "Corinne, I know you've been through a lot after you married Jeremy. Francine had gone too far

    When Tommy parked the car, he received a call. His face immediately looked solemn."I'll be there right away!"He hung up the phone and said apologetically, "Miss Carew, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I can't go in with you. Please head inside and look for Mister Feldman. Tell him I sent you, and he'll arrange your job for you."Corinne nodded and showed an 'okay' gesture before getting out of the car.Tommy drove off quickly at a fast speed.Corinne watched as the car disappeared. She raised her brow lazily and wondered what this supposed urgent matter was about. 'Did something happen to Mister?'…The subsidiary company under Holden Group was an entertainment agency. Corinne walked into the lobby and informed the front desk of her reason for being there.The receptionist took a look at her and called Mister Feldman to verify."Miss Carew, please follow me." The receptionist then led Corinne to Mister Feldman's office."Miss Carew, Mister Feldman is having a meetin

    Corinne smiled faintly. "I am going to work here.""Work here? Aren't you working as a nanny with a rich employer?" Sherlyn asked."My employer seldom comes back home, and there's nothing much to do there. I thought I'd do a part-time job to earn more money," Corinne explained.Sherlyn examined Corinne contemptuously. She sneered when she saw how dreadful Corinne looked just to make more money. "Geez, you need a part-time job to make money? Guess your rich employer isn't paying you a lot."Corinne nodded. "It's not a lot.""What's wrong, Sherlyn? Why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going to take your magazine cover?" a kind middle-aged man's voice came out of the office.Sherlyn looked back and smiled shyly at the middle-aged man. "Mister Feldman, I was just about to leave, but someone is blocking the door.""Blocking the door? Let me see who dares to block your way." Mister Feldman walked out to take a look.He put on a look like he was about to scold his foolish subo

    With that thought in Sherlyn's mind, she quickly went in and interrupted their conversation."Mister Feldman, is she looking for a job? Why don't you let her work with me? The position for my assistant is vacant."Mister Feldman looked troubled with that suggestion. "Uhh, well…"Considering Tommy was the one who sent Corinne to him, he did not think it was suitable to let Corinne work as an assistant for a celebrity, a job that required Corinne to take care of another person."Sherlyn, I know you mean well, but I don't think that's possible. Miss Carew here is—""How much is the salary as an assistant?" interjected Corinne.Mister Feldman was baffled by this, weirded out by her demeanor. 'How is she not interested in being a glamorous celebrity and is instead interested in being the assistant to a celebrity?'Sherlyn glanced at Corinne and said proudly, "You can get around four hundred fifty to six hundred dollars per month if you work as my assistant. Don't worry, I'm not going

    Sherlyn gave Corinne a look. Just as she was about to scold Corinne again, the ringing of her phone stopped her.It was a video call from their father, Marvin.Sherlyn rolled her eyes and waved the phone at Corinne haughtily, showing off. "Look at this. Daddy is calling me! I bet you hardly receive any calls from him at all. It just shows he never cares about you!"Corinne smiled nonchalantly. "If you're not going to pick up, your daddy dearest is going to hang up."Sherlyn snorted. She answered the call and put it on speaker mode, intending for Corinne to hear their conversation.Marvin and Lilliana were on the other side of the call. Both of them looked at their favorite celebrity daughter happily. "Sherlyn, how's work today?" asked Marvin, concerned. "Have you eaten?"Sherlyn pouted and cutely replied, "No, not yet, Daddy. I'm so busy with work that I don't have the time to eat."Marvin frowned. "That's not good. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. You need to take c

    During the shooting for the magazine cover in the afternoon, Sherlyn started her act.She made many requests with Corinne. Either she asked Corinne to buy something for her or asked her to fetch her stuff. She repeated this countless times to torment Corinne.However, Corinne had long expected this from Sherlyn. She was not surprised at all and calmly acted. She had fast legs and treated Sherlyn's torment as a way to train her body.In fact, the pay was not the reason for her to agree to be Sherlyn's assistant. She wanted to see how Sherlyn and Lilliana managed to switch up the situation.According to her understanding and assumption, she believed Sherlyn and Lilliana had done something pretty dirty to achieve their purpose. It would be easier to investigate if she could remain with Sherlyn all the time.The sky had darkened by the time shooting was wrapped up. Corinne did not have the intention to get in Sherlyn's car and was going to hail a cab to head back to the Holdens' estat

    After Corinne changed into her prepared attire, Sherlyn nearly burst out laughing.The dress she prepared for Corinne was an ugly-looking floral dress, and it looked as though it came straight out of a shop in the countryside.She blamed Corinne for having a pretty face and was anguished that her bare face looked so clean, pure, and perfect even with no makeup on. If she did not ruin Corinne's look, she was afraid Corinne would steal her spotlight, not to mention catch any rich people's attention.It was what happened with Mister Feldman at his office. He could not take his eyes off Corinne at all!Sherlyn hated Corinne's face ever since they were kids, and having seen Corinne dressed up like a country bumpkin comforted her a little.She complimented sarcastically, "Not bad! I picked this for you. You're going to wear this and go to the party with me!"Corinne looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Thanks. It's quite pretty."The makeup artist had a hard time suppressing her

    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
