Corinne glanced at Sophia. "I'm being as courteous as I can. It's just very inconvenient for me to take off my hat and mask."Sophia frowned in confusion. "Why not?""Because I'm ugly. I wouldn't want to scare you," said Corinne bluntly.Sophia was taken aback. "It's not that bad, is it? We won't be scared! Why would we care about your appearance when your talent encompasses who you are? Let's get to know each other a bit better!"Corinne did not want to argue with Sophia anymore. She was just about to bid them goodbye when Jeremy said, "Take them off."Corinne was stunned. "Mister Jeremy, our cooperation has officially ended, and I don't think I am obliged to agree to your whimsical demands. I have other things to take care of, so if you'll excuse me!"She immediately turned to leave when Jeremy grabbed her wrist and ordered, "Take. Them. Off."Corinne took a deep breath, knowing she could not escape. She looked at Jeremy with displeasure and said, "I'm surprised you'd suspect

Sophia noticed the change in Jeremy's emotions and became more curious about Moon. "Why are you still hesitating, Miss Moon?"Corinne gritted her teeth and took off the black mask on her face to reveal what she looked like. Her face was unusually wrinkled, and the only bright part of her was her eyes. She had a flat nose, thick lips, and a squarish face. It was the very definition of unsightly.Sophia was taken aback by the scars and immediately understood why Moon covered herself up like that. She was, no doubt, hideous.The flicker in Jeremy's eyes disappeared, and he looked ashen.Corinne's expression remained. "Happy now?"Sophia asked sympathetically. "How did those scars happen?"Corinne's face seemed to have been injured before. The wrinkled skin seemed like burns.She put on her hat and mask before saying, "It happened after a fire. That was why I didn't want to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the first place. It wasn't because I didn't want to show any courtesy to

Sophia shook her head. "You can just order for me. You know what I like to eat, anyway!"Jeremy did not ask her again. He handed the menu to the waiter and helped Sophia order the usual.Corinne smirked sarcastically when she saw Jeremy ordering food for his legal wife so habitually. She lowered his head and took a big gulp of the complimentary lemon water on the table."Would you like anything else? Don't be shy. Just order whatever you want!" Sophia smiled politely.The way she spoke was very natural. It was almost as if Jeremy was Sophia's husband!Then again, 'as if' was probably not the best word to use. Sophia was Jeremy's legal wife.Corinne tried her best to force a smile. "No thanks. I'm already fat enough. I'm supposed to be eating less to control my weight."Sophia reassured her. "Don't call yourself fat! Girls are cuter when they're a little meatier. You don't think she's fat, do you, Jeremy?"Jeremy glanced at Moon silently. He did not want to comment at all.Cori

Corinne did not know if she was overthinking things, but she had a tingling feeling that Jeremy was staring intently at how she held her fork. Sophia enthusiastically served some barbecued chicken wings for Corinne. "Try these! These are my favorite, and they taste amazing!"Coincidentally, Corinne liked barbecued chicken wings too. However, she had no appetite for them that day because they were revolting.Corinne thanked Sophia with a smile and continued to eat her least favorite foods. She just wanted to finish eating as soon as she could and end the meal that she should not have had in the first place. However, she had zero will to eat at all, and her appetite was lacking because she was pregnant. After eating some of the food, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.She tried her best to stay calm as she stood up and said, "Sorry, but I need to use the restroom. Could you excuse me, please?" She left in such a hurry that she forgot to take her phone.She had just left th

Jason knew Jeremy was a very astute person who could easily notice that something was amiss. Thus, he got up, grabbed his coat, and walked out of the office swiftly. He could only rest at ease if he fetched Corinne in person!…After replying to Jason's message, Corinne put down her phone and continued to eat."Don't force yourself to eat things that don't suit your taste." Jeremy's words seemed to hint at something.Corinne froze as she took some food and raised her eyes to look at Jeremy. It was then she noticed him staring at her with that inscrutable gaze again."I'm perfectly fine with them. I chose these, after all. Why wouldn't I like them?" Corinne said, forcing a smile on her scar-ridden face.Jeremy seemed to have snorted coldly in response to that, but she could not be sure of that.Sophia continued the previous topic and asked, "Miss Moon, you mentioned that the source of inspiration for your design is love, but the story didn't seem to have ended well. May I ask why

Corinne sipped her lemon water. "Should you take responsibility for yourself if your curiosity keeps you up at night? Don't you think it's weird for you to insist I take responsibility for that when I just met you today?"Sophia shrugged her shoulders and opened her palms. "Okay, okay. I won't ask more if you're that reluctant to talk about the past. Eat up, then!"Corinne's cell phone then vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw that Jason had sent another message. [I'm here.]She placed the glass of lemon water down and grabbed her things. "I'm full. My friend is here, so I'll excuse myself and leave you two to enjoy the rest of the meal. Goodbye."Jeremy remained expressionless. He pushed the phone in front of her and said, "Could you leave your contact information with me?"Corinne looked at the QR code on his cell phone screen and said, "Don't you have my email? You may contact me through email if you have anything to ask. I prefer that to other modes of communication."

"Okay, then," said Jason. "You can take off your mask in the car. You don't need to wear it anymore."Corinne closed her eyes as she rested. She was too lazy to move, so she said to him, "I'll take it off after we're back."Jason could see how tired she was, so he kept quiet and drove faster until they reached the expressway.Two hours later, they finally arrived at the villa.Corinne was sleeping throughout the journey, but she did not feel comfortable at all. She had a bad dream where Jeremy would not let her leave and insisted on taking her baby away.In the end, Jason woke her up.When she opened her eyes and saw Jason's face very close to hers, she instinctively pushed him away and asked, "What are you doing?"Jason smiled innocently. "We're home. You didn't respond when I called you several times, so I decided to come closer and call you again."Corinne sat up straight and looked out the car window.They had arrived. She had been living there for the past six months, but

Jason reached out and flicked Corinne's forehead. "What do you think? It's my selfish desire for you, of course. If I can get you and your child out of the country, I still stand a chance of being with you! That chance is gone if the Holdens find you! Are you that dull, or are you just pretending to be dull?"Corinne touched her slightly sore forehead. "Hehe! Then my advice to you is to just give up! I know you've helped me a lot in the past six months, but I can give you anything except for my feelings."Jason sighed in self-pity. "Why are you so nervous, silly? I'm not going to force you!"He was using 'silly' as if it was a form of endearment.Corinne felt a little awkward and glared at him. "Have you had enough rest? You should make your way back soon if that's the case. The street lights aren't bright here in the suburbs. It's unsafe for you to drive alone! You should head back as soon as you can."Jason's charming face leaned close to her, and he snorted flirtingly. "Hmph. W

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
