"W—Why is Xante's phone w—w—with you?"Corinne felt a headache coming on. "I'll repeat my question. When did that happen?"Sunny did not know how to answer her. He was even more afraid of answering her when he remembered Xante's warning—he was not to breathe a word of what happened between them to Corinne."Oh, Lucas is telling me to do my homework! Talk to you later!" He ended the call swiftly.Corinne took a deep breath after hearing the dial tone.Having another problem on her hands was far from ideal. It was bad enough that Aaron got involved with Jeremy's niece. Even Xante hooked up with one of the Riveras.'It's one thing after another…' Corinne lamented.Early the next morning, Corinne brought Joey downstairs for breakfast as usual. Having taught the boy to eat with a spoon the day before, he had since picked up the necessary ability and did not even need to be fed at all.While Corinne was eating some oats, Greg—who never liked her very much and rarely showed any concer

Pamela's heart ached as she looked at Corinne. 'She looks healthy, but why isn't she as energetic as before?'Corinne turned to leave after she said what she had come to say. Her goal was to make Pamela feel guilty so that the old lady would let her guard down. She vowed to escape from the Holdens, who changed her life's trajectory, no matter what tomorrow.After coming out of Pamela's room, Corinne saw Francine and Joey playing in the yard with Chester watching from the side. After thinking about it, she went out to join them.Joey immediately toddled over to Corinne when he saw her walking toward them. "Auntie Sissy…"Francine followed after him, shouting playfully, "You little ungrateful brat! I spent the whole day playing with you, yet you dumped me the moment you saw your Auntie Sissy?"Joey giggled at Francine while keeping his chubby arms wrapped around Corinne's legs. It was obvious who he preferred.Corinne ruffled his hair and said, "Go play with Aunt Francine. I'll be

Corinne looked around the yard. 'This will be my last time standing here.'The only person she could not really let go was Joey.Soon, night came. After dinner, Corinne took her shower and was about to read a bedtime story to Joey when her phone rang. She picked up her phone and saw Jeremy's name on the screen.'What's up with him? Why is he calling me every day now?' she wondered.As much as she did not want to talk to him, Corinne forced herself to answer the phone as she did not want to make Jeremy suspicious."Have you slept?" asked Jeremy softly. It sounded like he had already moved on from what happened last night."What do you think? Would I have answered your phone if I was sleeping?" asked Corinne monotonously."I asked because I was afraid I'd woken you up," said Jeremy darkly."If you're really afraid of waking me up, you wouldn't have called at this hour!" said Corinne, hitting the nail on the head.After a few seconds of silence, Jeremy said softly again, "I was b

'Ugh! He's so annoying,' thought Corinne.She threw her phone aside, laid down beside Joey, and sang him a lullaby to lull Joey to sleep and also to calm herself.…The next morning, they had breakfast earlier than usual since Pamela woke up before dawn to supervise the kitchen staff in breakfast preparation.After breakfast, Pamela, Corinne, Francine, and Joey got ready to go to Central Park for a stroll and to feed the pigeons. The bodyguards were about to stop them, but Pamela simply glared at them until they backed down. Later, the bodyguards reported the situation to their supervisor.With Pamela in charge, the group was able to drive out of the mansion without a hitch.In the car, Pamela patted Corinne's hand gently. "Corinne, I've asked the servants to bring along some sandwiches and other food. You and Joey can eat in the car if you're hungry later."Corinne smiled. "Thanks, Grandma. You didn't need to do that since we could just eat in the restaurant."Pamela shook her

Most of the bodyguards chased after the thief, and one stayed behind to guard Corinne.Joey started crying out of shock. Francine was panicking as well. "Corinne, are you okay?"Corinne nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay. You should go comfort Grandma. She must've had a fright.""Okay, sure." Francine immediately went over to Pamela with Joey in her arms.Corinne watched as Francine and Joey left. A minute later, she raised her head and said to the bodyguard standing next to her, "Help me to the fountain. I want to sit for a while.""Yes, Ma'am. Please be careful. Baby steps now." The bodyguard carefully helped Corinne to the fountain. "Is here okay for you, Ma'am?" he asked once they got to the fountain."Yup," Corinne replied with a nod. She pretended to sit down, but then she suddenly pushed the bodyguard into the fountain.She had already escaped quite a distance away by the time the bodyguard got out of the fountain. He immediately shouted, "Quick! Chase after her! Miss Corinne has es

The lead bodyguard was not convinced. "Then you won't mind us checking the inside of your car, right?" he asked with a frown.Aaron chuckled coldly. "I do mind since I don't want your grubby hands dirtying it."The lead bodyguard was not going to back down so easily. "I know we don't have a right to check your car, but we won't move an inch unless you let us check your car or let Miss Corinne out."Aaron narrowed his eyes. "How are you going to make it up to me if I let you check my car and Corinne isn't inside?"The lead bodyguard was sure Corinne was inside the car, so he confidently answered, "If Miss Corinne isn't in the car, all of us will apologize to you.""Very well, then. You may check the car!" said Aaron with a scoff.The lead bodyguard and his subordinates opened all the doors and looked inside, only to see a young woman who was dressed the same as Corinne sitting next to Aaron.The lead bodyguard immediately recognized the young woman to be Xante. 'So it wasn't Miss

The bodyguards watched helplessly as Aaron's minivan drove away, and they started to panic."What should we do now? How are we going to tell Mister Jeremy that we've lost Miss Corinne?""Sh*t! He's definitely going to punish us for that!""We're done for…""That's enough!" shouted the lead bodyguard through gritted teeth. "Instead of sh*tting your pants over here, you all should be tailing Mister Aaron. He definitely has something to do with Miss Corinne's escape. It can't be a coincidence for them to be here. We might be able to find Miss Corinne if we follow them!""Yes, Sir!"…Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, where there were no surveillance cameras along the street devoid of people, was a parked white Bugatti.Corinne half-jogged over to the car, got into it, and took off her wig. She had changed into the clothes left by Xante in one of the public restrooms to escape notice from the bodyguards."You look good in your disguise," said Jason with a smirk.Corinne w

Corinne was pleasantly surprised when she entered the living room. Even though the building looked shabby and old from the outside, the inside of Jason's unit was clean and tastefully decorated. It did not look like anyone was living there at all."Have a seat while I get you something to drink," said Jason before going to the kitchen.Corinne sat on the sofa and surveyed her new surroundings quietly when a glass of milk suddenly appeared in front of her."I hope you don't mind giving you milk instead of a soft drink since you're pregnant," said Jason with a wide grin."Thank you," said Corinne with a polite smile after accepting the glass of milk.Jason sipped his can of Cola and sat on the armchair next to the sofa.Corinne gazed at the glass of milk intently while swirling it slowly.Jason did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her doing that. "Are you afraid that I've spiked the milk with something?"Corinne looked up at him. "Nope. I was checking to see if the mi

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
