"Okay. You can go home now. I'll be sure to check out your channel," said Sunny. After that, he haughtily waved the busker goodbye before getting into Xante's car.Xante glanced at the busker and got into the car too. She then drove off after making sure both she and Sunny had put on their seatbelts.Sunny, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, lifted his chin proudly. "Hmph! I guess it's true when they say women mean yes when they say no! You still came after all. You know, you should just tell me if you really care about me. I promise I won't laugh at you."Xante was speechless. 'Here he goes again.'She would not have come all the way to pick up Sunny if Aaron had not seen the busker's livestream and told her Sunny was crying in the underpass. After all, it would be more troublesome for her if the Riveras blamed her should anything happen to him.It was a good thing her place was close to the underpass Sunny was at, so it only took her less than 10 minutes to get there.

Sunny felt embarrassed at the mention of his amateur hacker league. Scratching his head, he said, "Most of the hackers in the league are high-school students, so they're only starting out. I wouldn't have asked you for help if I knew they could do it. Please, Xante. Help me out this one time."Xante pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking, 'Oh, how did I ever get saddled with this teenager?'…It was already late in the night when Jeremy got home. Everyone, apart from the household staff working the night shift, was asleep.The maid went up to take Jeremy's coat off him. She knew he had just come back from abroad that day. Considering the time difference, she asked, "Mister Jeremy, have you eaten? Should I cook something for you?"Jeremy simply waved her away tiredly before going upstairs.When he entered his bedroom, he became even more overwhelmed with loss the moment his nose was hit by Corinne's familiar scent. The smell of her shampoo lingering in the air meant she had take

Jeremy frowned and stared at Sophia coldly. "Even if she doesn't mind, I mind! Get out of this room this instant!"Sophia frowned for a second before getting out of bed. The pajamas she was wearing were a little too small for her, so her breasts and behind were slightly revealed.The pajamas belonged to Corinne, who was of a more petite size. The pajamas would be too small for the big-boned Sophia.Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Why are you wearing her clothes?"Sophia shrugged. "My stuff hasn't arrived yet. Jeremy, have you forgotten that we came in such a rush that I didn't even get a chance to go home to pack my stuff? I wanted to borrow clothes from Francine, but she wouldn't lend me no matter how much I begged. I don't think she likes me very much. You see, I had no choice but to borrow from Corinne."Not only was she wearing Corinne's pajamas, but she showered in their room too. The reason was the same: Francine did not let her shower in her room. Corinne's pajamas were already

Sophia put her hand on the balcony railing and fluttered her eyelashes at Jeremy. "I'm just saying 'if'! I mean, would you take another woman as your wife if you can't find Miss Corinne?""There's no 'if' in this matter."Sophia pouted. "What a spoilsport! There's no harm in imagining a different scenario."Jeremy glanced at her. "Just what are you trying to say here?"Sophia beamed at him. "What I'm trying to say is… If you can't find Miss Corinne, I'll be willing to live with you as a partner. I mean, we're already legally married abroad, so that makes us husband and wife too, right?"Indeed, they had gotten legally married abroad. Back then, Greg refused to undergo a life-saving surgery unless Jeremy got married. Thus, to appease his grandfather, he decided to find a woman to go through a fake marriage with him.He chose Sophia because they had known each other for a long time, and there was no drama between them so he asked her to help him. After they got legally married abro

Jeremy scoffed. "Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you right now?"Sophia shrugged. "Why not? I mean, Miss Corinne could be having the best time in her life as we speak. There's no reason for you to be sad."Jeremy frowned. "That's enough chit-chat for the night. Go find another room to sleep in."Sophia shook her head. "Where? I can't sleep here or in Francine's room, and I'm not going to sleep in the guest room.""Only you would believe in the words of a tarot reader!" said Jeremy with annoyance."That's right! And I don't see anything wrong with that! You're never going to make me sleep in the guest room! You should just let me stay here for the night since it looks like you'll be too worried about Miss Corinne to ever fall asleep. I promise I'll go find a hotel tomorrow morning.""No!"Sophia rolled her eyes and scoffed. "What a stingy man! I don't think Miss Corinne cares one bit whether another woman sleeps on her bed since it's so obvious she doesn't want to be wi

"Quiet down!" roared Jeremy angrily after he came out of his room.Francine jumped with fright when she heard Jeremy's voice. After that, she suddenly realized something. "Jeremy, you're back. Were… Were you also in the room? What were the two of you doing in there?"Jeremy did not feel the need to explain himself to Francine, so he simply scolded her, "You should be sleeping at this hour! Go back to your room now.""No wonder Corinne ran away from home. Anyone would leave a husband like you," muttered Francine under her breath so Jeremy would not hear her. She then glared at Sophia before walking off.Sophia simply shrugged. "You saw how she treated me, right, Jeremy? That's why I had no choice but to sleep in your room!""Please bear with the situation for at least this one night. I'll arrange for you to stay at the hotel tomorrow, and you won't have to see her anymore," said Jeremy glumly."Fine."After that, she went down to the living room to watch the television.Jeremy d

The new Holden Group building was designed and constructed by Newmoon Group. However, the company representative sent an apologetic email saying Moon the architect would not be able to attend the ribbon-cutting as she was occupied. However, to show the company's sincerity, the president of Newmoon Group would attend on Moon's behalf.Holden Group's directors were furious when they found out about this. They would not accept Newmoon Group's president to attend on the architect's behalf. They even went so far as to think that Newmoon Group was cursing them to fail.Jeremy did not believe in all that mumbo-jumbo, but as the president of Holden Group, he had to respect the board of directors' wishes. Thus, he called Xante to let her know that his company would not pay the remaining balance of the payment unless Moon went to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.150 million dollars was not a small sum. That amount of money could spell the life or death of Newmoon Group. Thus, Xante was understand

Moreover, Xante and Aaron were looking for Corinne as well. They, too, came up empty-handed.'Where the hell is that girl hiding?' thought Jeremy."Sir, we're here."Jeremy snapped out of his thoughts and looked out of the window. They had arrived at the hotel where the business banquet was held.He got out of the car and walked steadily to the banquet hall. As soon as he got there, a lavishly dressed sexy woman wound her arm around his."Jeremy, you're late! Everyone has been waiting for you," said Sophia with a flirtatious smile.Jeremy unhooked her arm from his and walked to distance himself. "Why come early when it's not an important event at all?" he asked aloofly."How can you say that about a business banquet? All the biggest corporations have come together to talk about the latest development in the industry, so it's really a good opportunity to network!" said Sophia.Jeremy was not interested in all that. He possessed all the latest global information at his very finge

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
