However, since this was the first time Pamela met Aaron and Xante, she did not feel comfortable leaving Corinne alone with them. As much as she knew everyone was so quiet because of her, she did not plan to leave."I overheard you kids say you want to play bridge? Well, that just happens to be my favorite card game! It's such a shame I don't get to play it as often as I like, so I hope you don't mind letting me join," said Pamela after sipping her tea.Both Aaron and Xante were speechless while Corinne sat still expressionlessly.Only Annie smiled and said, "Sure! You can team up with me since I don't know how to play bridge at all. I'll be more than happy to learn a thing or two from a veteran like you.""No problem! I guarantee you'll be a pro by the end of the day. So, when shall we start?" asked Pamela.Everyone looked at each other.Finally, Corinne said, "Let's play after lunch. It'd be rude to let my friends play on an empty stomach since they took the trouble to come all

"Please don't get angry, Ma'am. I'll go bring Mister Joey back right now," said Bowen.After that, he went to look for Joey."Annie, go and help Bowen. Joey can be a handful sometimes," said Corinne."Sure thing, Corinne!" said Annie naively. She had zero clue Corinne was doing this to divert her away.Finally, only Corinne, Aaron, and Xante were left in the living room. They did not waste time in getting to the crux of the matter."Boss, what's going on? Why didn't you pick up or answer any of our messages?" Xante asked in a hushed tone."My phone has been tampered with. I can only call or receive calls from Jeremy. It wouldn't work when I tried to call or message you guys.""What?! Isn't this the same as being kept under house arrest?" scoffed Aaron.A hint of anger flashed across Corinne's eyes. "I'm guessing he knows I know about the other woman abroad and is afraid I'll run away again. He's doing all this to make sure the baby stays.""Holy sh*t! You don't think he's goin

Pamela was surprised to see Corinne in the kitchen."Corinne, what are you doing here? Don't you want to hang out with your friends? I'll let you know when lunch is ready."Corinne smiled. "It's okay. They'll be fine by themselves. I came to see if you need any help."Pamela waved her hand. "No, it's alright. I have plenty of help here. You should get out of the kitchen. All this smoke and grease isn't good for the baby."Corinne looked down and stroked her belly. "Grandma, you really care about this baby, don't you?""Of course," replied Pamela sincerely. "How can I not care about my great-grandson?"Corinne smiled tepidly. "Does that mean you won't care about me once the baby is born?"Pamela was a little taken aback by the question. She quickly held Corinne's hand and said, "Is everything alright? Why would you think like that?"Corinne smiled wryly. "I can't help but think I'm just a birthing machine for the family. I have no freedom or say in my life anymore.""But Corinn

Xante was the only person in the living room by the time Corinne got back.She sat next to her and asked, "Where's Aaron?"Xante pointed with her chin to outside, where it was viewable through the floor-to-ceiling window.Corinne looked to where she pointed and saw Aaron and Annie playing with Joey on the lawn."I thought Aaron doesn't like kids," said Corinne with narrowed eyes.Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "He doesn't. He's just putting up an act.""Why would he do that?"At that moment, Corinne saw Aaron reaching out to help Annie swipe off some leaves that had fallen on her hair.Annie instinctively stepped back, though she did thank him. After that, she focused her attention on Joey only."Aaron is still chasing after Annie?" Corinne asked with a frown."My guess is he can't help but chase after her. He's in way too deep than we thought," replied Xante wisely."What do you mean?""We watched him grow up, so we know just how much of a player he is. He's neve

"Well, you wouldn't have taken the time to play with Joey if you didn't like kids, right?" asked Annie."Oh, I'm only doing it to help you. You looked kind of tired taking care of him," answered Aaron.Annie was stunned, and her heart actually skipped a beat. 'He's only doing this to help me… No, Annie! Don't overthink this. I shouldn't take the words of a serial flirter seriously.'She shook her head to clear her mind. "Thanks for helping, but I still think you must've liked kids. Otherwise, you'll find the whole thing annoying after five minutes. Just like my ex. He hates kids so much that he'd growl at any kid who comes near him."Aaron narrowed his eyes at the mention of Annie's ex. "Then why did you choose to be with him?" he asked with a smirk.Annie sighed and said sadly, "He actually treats me quite well, so I thought he'd change after we have kids of our own. But then I found out it was all an act. He just wanted to use me to get close to Uncle Jeremy's family."Aaron us

Aaron simply ignored Annie's comment and said, "Tsk! He should be working instead of texting you! I need to talk to his supervisor about his work ethic."Fearing Marcus would get into trouble, Annie quickly said, "He called me during lunch break, so there's nothing wrong with his work ethic!""Didn't he text you before lunch break as well?" asked Aaron sternly."Umm… He needed to ask me something about work. It was only for a few minutes!"Aaron narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "You sure are protective of him. Does that mean you'll go on a movie date with him?"Annie looked unsure. "I'm still thinking about it," she said flatly. "I'm not interested in horror movies. Plus, what if I screamed too loud in front of him? That'll be so embarrassing."Aaron smirked. "Why don't you go with me, then? I'm looking forward to seeing you scream."Annie was stunned. She thought she heard wrong. "Mister Aaron, are you asking me to watch a movie with you?"Aaron nodded confidently. "Yeah. You c

Francine was a little puzzled when she saw so many guests at the house. She looked at Corinne who was feeding Joey, then at Annie who sat next to Corinne. Finally, her gaze shifted to Aaron sitting beside Annie. She frowned without hiding her displeasure. "Why are you still in touch with this jerk, Annie? You're supposed to stay away from him!"Annie had been thoroughly focused on her food as she was hungry. When Francine made that remark without considering the occasion, she felt embarrassed and did not know how to respond.Aaron, meanwhile, smiled at her instead of getting angry. "Why do I get the feeling that you have a problem with me?"Francine was usually very bossy, more so when at her home. "I do! I don't like you! Why would someone like you come to our home? We don't welcome you here!"Her attitude was a little too direct, and it made everyone at the table feel a little awkward.Pamela chastised her, "Don't be rude, Francine! This gentleman is Corinne's friend! Watch your

Francine felt aggrieved but did not dare to talk back to her grandmother. She fiddled with the food on her plate with a fork, and the fork slipped out of her hand.She was already in a bad mood, and her mood worsened when the fork fell. She muttered something to herself and was about to bend down to pick it up when Chester bent down to take it before could.Since the fork was already dirty as it fell on the floor, Chester put it aside and handed his clean one to her. "Here. I haven't used this yet."Francine blushed at Chester's gesture and thanked him.Chester did not reply and got up before politely bidding Pamela goodbye. He then picked up his backpack and walked out.As soon as Francine saw that the apple of her eye had left, she felt a little downcast and got up to chase after him.She ran out to the yard and finally caught up with Chester. She stood in front of him and asked uneasily, "Why did you leave without eating? Are you angry? Do you think I'm in the wrong?"Chester

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
