A small figure appeared from a dark corner."Daddy..." Joey looked uneasy. He stopped walking because he did not dare to get any closer. He used to be closer to his adoptive father, but ever since Corinne left, Jeremy always had a frightening aura that made him afraid to get any closer.When Jeremy saw that it was Joey, his stern expression became slightly relaxed, and he raised his hand to call the child over. "Come here."Joey walked up cautiously to Jeremy with a somewhat fearful expression. Although it was safer there than at the Riveras' because he was no longer subject to any abuse, he did not feel any sense of belonging and was frequently very timid.Jeremy stretched out his hand and pulled the child closer. His expression was not as gentle as one would expect, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you miss your mother?"Joey shook his head vigorously. The word 'mother' elicited a terrified expression. The 'mother' he remembered was Anya, and he did not want to see that devil o

It had been a long time since Corinne had such a good sleep. She did not know if it was because she slept in the room she used to live in when she was a child.A dreamless night was especially good in relieving fatigue.When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to freshen up. She then rummaged through the closet to look for some clothes to change into. Lucas had prepared a lot of maternity clothes for her. They were all brand new, and even the tags were still on.Once she finally settled on something comfortable, she took off her pajamas and put on her maternity clothes. Out of habit, the first thing she did after that was reach out for her phone. As soon as she walked to the bedside table and picked up the phone to check the time, she saw Jeremy's handsome face on the screen."Gahh!" Corinne screamed in fright and stared at the phone. She could not accept that the video call was still on and asked with a stammer, "Why... Why d—d—didn't you hang up yet?"The phone w

Corinne could not be bothered to entertain Sunny's protests. She pushed him aside and walked right past him to head downstairs for breakfast.Sunny huffed when Corinne ignored him and turned to follow her. "Hey! Corinne! When did you know you're my sister?"As Corinne held the handrail and walked slowly down the stairs, she replied curtly, "I'm not your sister."Sunny stretched out his hand proudly and supported her. "You are! I heard everything yesterday! You're Luna!"Corinne did not refuse Sunny assistance, but she narrowed her eyes at him and retorted, "That does not mean I'm your sister."Sunny frowned. "You are! We have the same father, so you are my sister!"Once they reached the last step of the stairs, Corinne waved away Sunny's hand and walked toward the restaurant.Although she did not hate Sunny, she did not want to treat him as a younger brother as he was the spawn of her mother's enemy.Sunny huffed and chased after her to protest, but his attention was drawn to a

"A nutritionist will prepare lunch for you later, Corinne. Is there anything you'd like to eat for dinner? I'll get the ingredients after work."Since Corinne chose to stay with them, she might as well treat herself to whatever she wanted. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I'd like to eat some grilled meat."Lucas frowned, apparently unhappy at her request. "You should go easy on greasy food."Rather than protest, Corinne said, "Oh. Then I'll order some food delivery."Lucas had no choice but to change his tone. "Okay, I'll shop for some vegetables and meats after I get off work. We'll have some grilled food when I come back."Corinne grunted softly and lowered her head to eat some bacon. She took a bite and said in a sullen tone, "Don't forget to get that painting as soon as possible."She wanted to get her hands on the painting as soon as she could so Jeremy would no longer be able to blackmail her into doing annoying things.Lucas nodded. "I won't forget about it."

"I know, I know, you're my half-sister!" Sunny said. "But you can't control me like that!"Corinne continued to eat her toast. "I won't. But I'll have you know that Xante is my relative on my mother's side. She'll listen to everything I say. If I tell her that I disagree with her being in a relationship with you, then it's as good as over for the two of you!"Sunny's expression changed drastically. "Wait! Corinne! Don't do that..."He knew that Xante referred to Corinne as her 'boss' and would take Corinne's words definitively. As if that was not bad enough, Lucas did whatever she asked of him too! Sunny was worried that Lucas might veto his relationship with Xante, but he would not have to worry about that if Corinne spoke up for him to Lucas.Corinne lazily stretched out her hand. "A paper napkin, please."Sunny did as he was told and handed a paper napkin to her.Corinne ate the final bite of toast and wiped her hands with the paper napkin. She then got up and walked to the do

Corinne's expression soured. "Who are you calling a pig?"Jeremy smirked. "Who's sitting on a swing chair?"No woman would be happy after being called a chubby pig, and the same went for Corinne. She might have gained some weight because of her pregnancy, but her arms and legs were still slender. It was only her face and belly that became rounder."You should keep your mouth shut if you can't hold a conversation like a normal person. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of being cursed at."Jeremy grinned when he saw how angry she was. "What's wrong with being a little chubby pig? It's adorable."Corinne gritted her teeth and shot back unhappily, "Wow, thanks for your compliment! Well, you've seen me on the swing, right? Is there anything else you want from me? If that's all, I'll be hanging up now."Jeremy stroked his chin languidly. "You should maintain this weight after giving birth."Corinne's anger had hit the roof. "What did I do to piss you off? Do you have to jinx it like that

Corinne looked at the blue sky beyond the umbrella in silence. "You like Xante because she's beautiful, independent, and she's different from the annoying group of girls at school?"Sunny felt that Corinne described Xante perfectly and nodded right away. "Yeah, you could say that!"Corinne grinned. "You might like her maturity now, but will you continue to like that in the future? What if you go to college and meet better, more independent girls? Will you fall for them too?"Sunny frowned and objected. "Why do you say that? Are you telling me Xante is the kind of girl you can compare with any random girl on the street?"Corinne looked at Sunny. "Of course not. I think she's one of a kind. You're the one who might mistake this newfound feeling for love."Sunny raised his chin proudly. "No, that's not how I feel! I'm not the kind of guy who will get attracted to just anyone. I'm either in it for the long run, or I'm not. I don't do things halfway. I take my relationship with Xante v

The lipstick on Sophia's lips was a little smudged.When Sophia sensed that someone was looking at her, she placed the mirror to one side and looked into the camera to greet Corinne."Hi, Corinne!" said Sophia with a smile. "I saw you chatting with Sunny earlier, so I thought I wouldn't bother you! How are you feeling? You left early yesterday, so I was wondering if you managed to get a good night's sleep."Corinne frowned and said, "Thanks for your concern. I slept very well."Sophia smiled. "That's good! I was worried you would have insomnia if a certain incident left you in a bad mood yesterday."Corinne scoffed. "And what incident could ruin my mood and make me have insomnia?"Sophia shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe you'd get angry after seeing Jeremy celebrate my birthday. To be honest, I understand how you feel. If I were you in your shoes, I'd be fuming if I saw my ex-boyfriend celebrating another girl's birthday!""You worry too much." Corinne chuckled. "I'll still sleep s

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
