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

Gerald did not ask anything further."I must say, what's all this fuss about not being able to find Corinne? I mean, you can get any other woman you want, Jeremy. You should just forget about her," said Zeke.Jeremy frowned and ignored him.Gerald glared at Zeke. "No one will think you're dumb if you don't open your mouth!"Zeke shrugged innocently and said, "What? Am I wrong? This isn't the first time Corinne has run away. Why should Jeremy still care about her when she dumped him twice? If I were you, Jeremy, I would've shacked up with another woman already."Jeremy's expression darkened.Gerald quickly kicked Zeke on the legs. "Why don't you stop annoying us and p*ss off downstairs?""Ouch!" Zeke screamed out in pain. However, that did nothing to stop him from talking. Though, to his credit, he did bring up the liveliness of the atmosphere.Sophia, who sat on the armchair with a glass of wine in her hand, laughed at Zeke's antics."Oh, you're funny, Mister Zeke! I won't be

Sophia laughed wryly. "You're an interesting man, Mister Zeke.""What's the use of being interesting if you don't love me?""Oh, stop it. I know I'm not your type either."…Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city, Corinne was watching the television while having her dinner.The villa belonged to Jason, and she had been living there for close to six months. She intended to fly out of the country with Jason's private jet after the storm died down. Alas, the chaos never settled as Jeremy still ordered his men to look for her and keep a close eye on all major transport systems.Even though she could use Jason's private jet, the pilot would still need to clear the flight with the air traffic controller, which would require him to submit all the passengers' names. She was sure she would be exposed then since Jeremy would be monitoring all the private jets leaving the country as well. Thus, she had no choice but to accept Jason's arrangement to hide out in the vill

'Jeremy's usually very cold to strangers, but the baby bump will attract too much attention. Then again, Newmoon Group will face the risk of bankruptcy if Holden Group doesn't pay the remaining balance…'Corinne did not have the heart to sit idly as the company she took so much effort to build went bankrupt. Not to mention, she had a kid to feed, so she could not lose the company!However, no matter how much brainpower she used on the problem, she could not come up with a perfect solution.Suddenly, the doorbell rang.She snapped back to the present and thought with alarm, 'Who could it be?'No one would come except for the delivery man, who would come every other day to deliver groceries and other essentials, but he already came yesterday!Corinne frowned as she watched the servant open the door. She sighed with relief when she saw the servant bowing.'It's just Jason. But what's he doing here again? The villa is a four-hour return journey from the city. Doesn't he think it's t

Corinne leaned back against the sofa and answered absent-mindedly, "It's nothing.""Is it prenatal depression? Shall I get a doctor to check up on you?" asked Jason worriedly.Corinne shook her head."Don't worry. I've always been cautious, so I promise you the Holdens will never find you here. Don't keep it to yourself if you feel any discomfort," assured Jason gently.Corinne looked up at him and said a little sheepishly, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mister Jason, for all you've done for me. I really don't want to trouble you with any more stuff."Jason pretended to be angry. "You should drop the 'Mister' in front of my name if you really want to thank me!"Corinne knew Jason had feelings for her. Thus, she had been sure to keep her boundaries, whether through words or actions, so he would not get any wrong idea.However, this was not the first time Jason expressed his dissatisfaction at being called 'Mister Jason'. He wanted her to simply call him 'Jason'.To show her gratitude, Co

Jason narrowed his eyes. "Corinne, just what is your relationship with Newmoon Group?""Xante and Aaron are my childhood friends," said Corinne honestly."I see." Jason got the gist of the whole thing, so he did not ask any further questions about it. "This is certainly tricky. One hundred and fifty million dollars isn't a small sum at all."That was why Corinne was so frustrated. If it was only a few thousand or even one hundred thousand dollars, she could have just let the whole thing be."Corinne, have you ever heard of an ancient art of face disguise, Metamorph?" asked Jason with a smile and a raised eyebrow.'Metamorph?' Corinne frowned. "What? Like in the magic world?"Jason shook his head. "Not exactly. I heard there's a mask that will change your face completely once you wear it."Corinne frowned. "Even if there's such a mask, how are you going to get it?"Jason smiled. "I can try to get it. Then you can wear the mask to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony without having

At that moment, Xante's secretary knocked on the door."Come in," said Xante after snapping out of her trance.The secretary came in and presented a file. "Miss Xante, these are the documents you've asked for.""Thanks. You can put it there," said Xante with a nod.The secretary did as she was told. "One more thing, Miss Xante… Mister Sunny has come to visit you again. Should I let him in?"Xante pinched the bridge of her nose. "Might as well."She knew Sunny would stay outside her office until she let him in, and that would leave a bad impression on Xante's staff."As you wish, Miss Xante," said the secretary before going out.A minute later, Sunny swaggered into Xante's office and sat on the chair in front of her desk. "Xante, it's nearly lunchtime. Where shall we eat later?"Xante looked at him expressionlessly. "I didn't agree to have lunch with you.""Well, you're going with me whether you like it or not."Xante raised her eyebrow threateningly. "Are you ordering me?"

Xante drove Sunny to a very famous fine-dining restaurant. She thought she should at least bring him to eat something good since he went through a lot of trouble to sneak out of his house.In the end, they bumped into somebody they knew in the restaurant.Jeremy was dining at the restaurant with a very sexily dressed woman. They were eating and chatting as though no one else was in the world.Xante narrowed her eyes with disgust.'Well, they certainly look cozy, yet he still wouldn't give up his search for the boss. I don't get it. Why does he still insist on looking for her? Why doesn't he just spend the rest of his life with his exotic wife? It's all his fault that the boss has to stay in hiding!' thought Xante.She did not plan to greet Jeremy as they were not very close to begin with. Most of the interactions they had were always work-related.However, she forgot one little thing, and that was Sunny.As soon as Sunny saw Jeremy, he waved to him and said, "Jeremy, fancy seein

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
