The girl quickly took out her phone. "Mister Jeremy, if you don't mind, can we exchange phone numbers?"…Corinne was in the taxi when Jeremy called. She looked briefly at the caller ID before answering her phone."Where are you?" asked Jeremy in his deep voice."I'm in the taxi on my way home," said Corinne neutrally."Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked unhappily."I didn't want to bother you since you rarely have the time to hang out with your friends."Jeremy pursed his lips for a few seconds before saying sternly, "Where are you now? I'll go pick you up right away!""No, that won't be necessary since I'm almost home. You just have fun, okay? I'm going to hang up now. Bye."Corinne quickly hung up after that.After she reached the Holdens' mansion, she immediately questioned herself why she came back there. She chalked it down as her needing some time to collect her thoughts before deciding what to do next.There were only a few servants on standby in the living room s

Francine nearly hit her nose on the door. She quickly stepped back and knocked on the door, shouting, "Hey, Corinne! I didn't mean what I said just now. I just don't want to see you arguing with Jeremy…"No response came from inside the room."As a matter of fact, I don't ever want Jeremy to replace you with someone else anymore. I mean it! So please don't be angry. You can take what I said just now as me spouting nonsense!"Still, no response came from inside the room.'How dare she still ignore me when I've apologized?' thought Francine angrily."Hey, Corinne! You're not really angry, are you? I don't remember you being this touchy in the past. Fine, be angry all you want, but take that kid back with you! I don't want to babysit him anymore!"Francine received no response no matter what she said.'This can't be good,' she thought with a frown. 'Something serious must've happened to cause her to be like this.'The Corinne Francine knew would immediately retort should she do an

Jeremy ordered Bowen to get him the spare key.As soon as he walked into the room, he could smell the scent of body wash floating through the air.'So she's taken her shower.'As upset as he was about being locked out, all of his anger disappeared when he saw Corinne curled up sleeping on the bed.She looked so cute with her face half buried in the pillow she was hugging. Any man would have found himself burning with desire if they saw her like that.Jeremy's face softened without him being aware of it. He bent down and quietly took away the pillow she was hugging and put it aside. He then turned her face upward so she would not be sleeping on her side.He looked down at her and realized her eyebrows were furrowed as though she was having a bad dream, so he gently smoothed them out. A few seconds later, he subconsciously leaned down to kiss her; he could not stand just how cute she was!The kiss woke her up. Frowning, she muttered with annoyance, "Don't touch me, you dirty old m

Up until a second ago, Corinne was still holding out hope that Jeremy would come clean with her, but her hope was dashed when she saw him acting self-righteously. She looked at him with a straight face and wondered what she ever saw in him."The very fact that you exist makes me angry. I don't want to see you right now!" she said coldly.Jeremy's eyes turned icy cold. "You don't want to see me? Do you hate me that much?""Yes! I hate you very, very much!" she said with great disdain. "Mister Jeremy, I admit it was wrong for me to kiss you just because I want to get away from my blind date, but I've already paid back for my mistake so I don't owe you anything anymore. I know you're interested in me because you thought I was playing hard to get, but I'm not going to stand here and let you play with my feelings anymore!"Jeremy frowned and looked at her sharply. "Play with your feelings? You think I'm not serious about you? Is that what this is all about?"Corinne chuckled wryly. "We

Corinne smiled coldly. "So what if you heard everything? I have nothing to hide. However, there's one thing you got wrong. We don't need to get a divorce because we were never legally married in the first place!"Francine was struck speechless.Corinne massaged her temples tiredly. "If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep now.""There is something else!" said Francine with a frown. "Joey just woke up and was crying for you, so I brought him here."Corinne glanced coldly at the pitiful Joey. "He's your brother's adopted son, so he has nothing to do with me. You should call your brother and ask him to take the kid off your hand."After that, she closed the door. Halfway through, however, she stopped when she felt something had wrapped itself around her legs. She looked down and saw Joey looking up at her with big sad puppy eyes."Auntie Sissy… Joey wants to stay with you…" he said with a pout.Even though Corinne decided to cut ties with Jeremy, which meant she did not wa

Corinne was at a loss for what to do with Joey. On one hand, she did not want to traumatize him further with abandonment issues, but on the other, she did not want to saddle herself with him.In the end, she decided it was more important to get him to sleep. Thus, she said, "There, there. I'm not going anywhere. Go to sleep, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.""O…kay…" said Joey before closing his eyes and falling asleep.The next morning, Corinne brought Joey down for breakfast after they had both washed up.Even though both Pamela and Greg were very fond of Joey, the little boy still felt scared in the new environment. Thus, he clung to Corinne like his life depended on it.After breakfast, Corinne needed to discuss something with Xante and Aaron at the company, so she gave Joey some pep talk before handing him over to Francine to look after.However, the moment she stepped out of the house, she saw Tommy and a line of bodyguards blocking her way."Good morni

Corinne clenched her fists. She then quickly took out her phone to call Jeremy, who she previously had no intention of ever contacting again.Jeremy picked up soon enough, but he did not greet or say anything to her."Jeremy Holden, just what do you think you're doing?" Corinne asked angrily."So that's how you're going to address me from now on? Is this your way of showing me you don't want to be with me anymore?" Jeremy asked raspily.Corinne did not call him to talk about that!"Mister Jeremy, we're not kids anymore. Don't you think it's very childish of me to keep me under house arrest just because you're angry at me?""Heh. And here I thought you didn't know I was angry at you," replied Jeremy sarcastically.Corinne tried to suppress her anger as she knew it would just make things worse."Call off your men! I need to go out.""For what?""Since when do I need to report to you every little detail of what I plan to do? Where's my freedom in all of this?""The moment you m

"You're right, Mister Aaron. My uncle would do what you said, but I don't want to live under his protection forever. I want to learn how to be independent," explained Annie.Aaron was quite impressed by her attitude. "Huh, not bad. Was your colleague flirting with you just now?"The sudden change of topic shocked Annie. "No. He was asking me for help with his document. His stapler was broken, you see."Aaron obviously did not believe her. "He's quite the catch. He graduated from a famous university. Good-looking. Tall. You can consider him since our company has no policy against office romance."Annie's gaze wavered for a second before her eyebrows furrowed as she frowned. She felt unbelievably humiliated, but she did not blow up at Aaron. She simply nodded and said, "Okay. I'll consider him if he shows signs of being interested in me. Thank you for your concern, Mister Aaron."After a moment of awkward silence, Aaron smiled and said, "Well, time for you to get back to work now. I

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
