Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Corinne Carew, do you have any idea how—""Jeremy, you came to the restroom too?" interrupted Sophia cheerfully as she came out of the restroom.She then walked up to Corinne and held onto her elbow like they were best friends. "Jeremy, I got the chance to meet Miss Corinne in the bathroom. Don't worry, I'll help her back to the table. You just go ahead to the restroom."Jeremy glanced at Sophia darkly and said nothing. Instead, he turned back to go into the restroom.As soon as he was out of sight, Corinne pulled her arm away from Sophia and dusted off her sleeves before walking off.Sophia followed after her. "Corinne, it looks like Jeremy still cares about you."Corinne scoffed. "Is that so?""Of course! I've known him for twenty years, so I can tell at a glance whether he's interested in a particular woman. Can you please get back together with him?"Corinne looked at Sophia in disbelief. "As Jeremy's wife, you want me to get back together with hi

Corinne's pregnancy hormones made her more impatient than ever. She was already in a bad mood from seeing Jeremy, and Sophia's nonsensical babbling pushed her to the edge.Corinne raised her hand, intending to push Sophia out of the way. Just as her fingers brushed her shoulder, Sophia flew out and hit her head on the cashier counter as though propelled by some invisible force. Blood started to trickle down her forehead, causing her to scream out in pain.Corinne frowned at Sophia's subpar acting. 'I can't believe just a few minutes ago, I thought this woman was smarter than Anya in her manipulation method! Welp, she's not that much smarter after all.'Corinne did not feel guilty at all as she did not even touch Sophia before she fell on her own accord. 'It's just as well that she fell. I can leave the restaurant now.'However, she did not even take two steps before Jeremy shouted at her, "Where do you think you're going?!"Corinne stopped and turned to look at him. "What? Do I ne

Corinne never expected that after all this time, Jeremy could still hurt her."No! I'm not going to apologize to her!"Apologizing was akin to admitting to wrongdoing.The waiters did not dare to intervene, so they went to get the manager. After all, it was a bad look for the restaurant if a fight broke out at the entrance.The manager's hurried arrival attracted the attention of other diners. They, too, came along with him to see what was going on.Pamela asked Francine to help her over to the entrance when she heard someone say Jeremy and a woman were fighting with another woman. She broke through the crowd and saw Jeremy grabbing Corinne by the collar and forcing her to apologize to Sophia, whose head was bleeding.However, no matter how much he threatened her, Corinne stubbornly refused to apologize. Sophia, on the other hand, kept telling Jeremy she was fine and to let it go.The livid Pamela rushed over and pushed Jeremy away. "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that C

"Alright. I'll apologize to Miss Sophia," said Corinne with a smile.Pamela smiled, relieved by Corinne's answer. "That's right, Corinne. You're every bit of the sensible girl I know you to be."Corinne walked up to Sophia, who tried to hide the glee in her eyes.Sophia waved her hand and lied, "Really, there's no need, Corinne. I know you didn't mean—ahh!"Corinne grabbed Sophia's hair, dragged her to the counter, and slammed her head down on it before she could finish her sentence.Everything happened so fast that Sophia did not even have a chance to react. The next thing she knew, she was screaming out in pain.No one expected that to happen too, so they were understandably shocked.Corinne had finished dealing with Sophia by the time Jeremy went to stop her. He glared at Corinne when he saw the new injury on Sophia's forehead."What the hell did you do that for?" he hissed.Corinne pushed Sophia onto Jeremy's chest before pulling out a tissue from the countertop to wipe he

Corinne walked around Pamela to exit the restaurant."Corinne…" Pamela tried to stop her again, obviously worried about her."Let her go," said Jeremy emotionlessly.Stunned, Pamela turned to look at Jeremy with a frown.Corinne paused for a second before walking out of the restaurant without turning back.Francine quickly chased after her. "Corinne! Wait!"Corinne could not walk fast since she was eight months pregnant, so even though she did not stop, Francine managed to easily catch up to her.Francine stood in front of her with her arms spread. "Corinne, how can you talk to Grandma like that?" she asked angrily. "Do you have any idea how worried she was about you?"Corinne smiled. "Was she worried about me or the baby?"Francine frowned. "Both, of course!"Corinne chuckled softly. "Oh, please! Do you think I was just born yesterday? Why don't you go back to Miss Pamela?"She then walked around Francine, wanting to leave as fast as possible."No! Corinne, don't go!" Fran

Noticing bringing up Joey did not even work on Corinne, Francine grabbed her elbow again. "No! I'm never going to let you go!"Corinne grew impatient. "Let go, or I'll hit you!"She might not be able to do a lot of things because of her huge baby bump, but beating up Francine—who had never been in a fight before—was still easy for her."Hit me, then! I'm still never going to let you go even if you beat me to death!" said Francine fearlessly.Frankly, Corinne did not have the heart to hit her anymore. "Has every one of you Holdens lost your minds? Just what the hell do you think I am?"At that moment, Annie and Marcus came running over.Annie sighed when she saw how stubborn Francine was."Corinne, Francine only means well," she said worriedly. "Maybe…you can consider going back to the restaurant to talk things out with Uncle Jeremy? I just feel like there's a misunderstanding in all of this."Corinne looked at Annie. Suddenly, she pushed Francine toward her."Take her back to

Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet cat was so excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. "Here you go, Boss," he said as he placed it on top of the table."Thanks," said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in thought.This was the first time Annie had been at the apartment. She started looking around, and when she saw Corinne stroking a cat, she said worriedly, "Corinne, I don't think it's safe to be around an animal when you're pregnant."Corinne glanced at Annie. "Who are you to tell me what to do?"Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. 'She must be angry at me because I'm related to Uncle Jeremy,' she thought.Aaron washed up some fruit and plac

Annie did not want Aaron to know what she was thinking, so she tried to quickly escape.However, she only managed to open the door a little before he pressed the door shut again from behind her, causing her to nearly jump with fright.Not daring to look back, she frowned and asked, "Uhh, Mister Aaron, what are you doing?"Aaron's breath came down hot and smelled like beer from behind her. "Nothing."Annie's heart was beating so loudly that she was sure he could hear it. "Well then, please let me out. I… I need to go to the restroom.""There's a restroom to the left of you," said Aaron with a smirk.Annie turned to the left and saw there was indeed the bathroom. However, it would be inappropriate for her to use his restroom. Plus, she was just using that as an excuse to get out of the room!"Mister Aaron, I don't like using other guy's bathrooms. Please let me out."Aaron, however, had other thoughts. "Don't worry. My bathroom is very clean. I have a cleaner come every day to cl

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
