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

Sophia rubbed her fingers all over the lipstick on the corner of her lips. "For giving me this opportunity, of course! I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation if you hadn't made Jeremy feel bad yesterday! Once he got a taste of my body, his attitude toward me changed completely. As soon as I came in, he got up, hugged me, and kissed me so deeply that my lipstick was all smudged!"'Oh, so he left the camera just to kiss Sophia?' Corinne felt nauseated.Jeremy continued to lead Corinne on just to keep her grounded and ensure the baby was all right. Perhaps he might still have feelings for her, but she was not the only person he had feelings for. That Sophia could enter and exit his office on a whim was a clear sign of that.Corinne smiled. "Congratulations on finally getting your man, then! Although, I must say that your sultry appearance is ill-suited to your shy act. Try to be more straightforward next time!"Sophia's expression froze for a moment, but she smil

Jeremy commented on Corinne's post, [Don't be afraid. I'm here.]When he ignored Sophia and focused entirely on typing something on the phone, she became a little impatient and said to him, "Jeremy? Are you listening to me?"Jeremy glanced at her and asked, "Have you gathered all the documents?"A guilty twinge flashed across Sophia's eyes. "Umm... It's a little difficult to re-issue everything across countries. It would take a while for them to send it over."She had lied that she had lost her certificate and used that as an excuse to keep procrastinating as there was no way for her to revoke the marriage. She also 'lost' her passport, so it was very difficult for her to fly back to make a new application.Jeremy said, "Get it done as soon as you can."Sophia nodded, but she then said to him, "I don't mind maintaining things as they are now, Jeremy! I can always help you and Corinne to avoid certain issues. Isn't that a good thing?"Jeremy answered coldly, "I mind."Sophia had

It was only then Jeremy sat on the new chair. Failing to get a reply from Corinne, he rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly before taking out an anonymous letter from his suit pocket.The anonymous letter was delivered through the crack of the door by a stranger who kept their face hidden. The security guard immediately alerted Jeremy of the existence of the letter when he found it because it was addressed to him. What was even more unsettling was there were a few drops of blood on the letter.Jeremy ripped open the letter and read the printed words. [I already know what's most important to you. You work in the light while I work in the dark. Just how long do you think you can guard against me? This will be your last chance to give me an answer that can satisfy me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless because you'll surely come to regret it. It's our hope that you won't push us to the edge, dearest eldest brother!]He crumpled up the letter and threw it into the trash can

'Wait, why am I thinking of that jerk again? Ugh, he's like a ghost that just won't leave me alone!' grumbled Corinne mentally.Sunny was not happy at being likened to a secret agent."Oh, come on. You don't really think I look like a secret agent, do you? I mean, have you ever seen a secret agent as handsome as me? Plus, Jeremy wears his hair like this too. Are you saying he looks like a secret agent as well?"Corinne became annoyed at the mention of Jeremy. "You should learn from Lucas instead of someone else."Sunny lifted his chin. "Lucas doesn't need to comb his hair back because he already looks mature! I've seen Jeremy without his hair combed back, and he doesn't look a day over thirty. What's wrong with me imitating his style?"Even though Corinne agreed with his words, she still said, "I suggest that you go as your usual self. There's no use pretending who you're not.""Hmph! I don't believe you. After all, you were so smitten by Jeremy's look back then," said Sunny conf

Corinne panicked and tried to stop Jeremy's bleeding by pressing one hand onto his gaping hole while she called the emergency hotline with the other hand. However, her hand was shaking so much that she kept pressing on the wrong number.Jeremy's face became paler as he lost more blood, but that did not stop him from feebly smiling and saying weakly, "Little rascal, can you forgive me now?"Corinne nodded rapidly as tears streamed down her face. "Please don't die…"Jeremy's eyes gradually lost focus before he closed them for the last time."No!" screamed Corinne, waking up in shock."Miss Corinne, are you okay?"Corinne opened her eyes and saw the maid looking worriedly at her"Miss Corinne, you're sweating a lot. Are you unwell? Shall I call for the doctor?"Corinne shook her head and shakily replied, "I'm fine."The maid passed her some tissue to wipe away her sweat before pouring a glass of water for her.Corinne was still slightly breathing hard while the pain in her chest

Corinne finally shifted her gaze from the television to Lucas. "Something I've been wishing for?"'Could it be…'Lucas snapped his fingers, and the servants immediately brought in and lifted off the white dust-proof fabric covering the painting.Corinne's eyes instantly lit up. It was the self-portrait of Nellie Nymphaea!The woman in the painting was looking down despairingly, yet her body language showed an unyielding thirst for life as though there was still something holding her back.There were fine lines around her eyes and the two sides of her nose, so Corinne guessed her mother should be in her mid-thirties when she painted this self-portrait.'If this is Mom's self-portrait, that means she managed to escape from being killed after she left me with the Carews,' thought Corinne. She could not help but hope that her mother was still alive even until then.Lucas' expression subtly changed when he saw the painting. There were so many things he regretted when it came to his m

Jeremy narrowed his eyes when he saw the abandoned factory in front of him.A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the factory, and he got down.…Meanwhile, back at the Riveras' mansion.Lucas was supervising the kitchen staff. He wanted to make sure all the ingredients were prepared safely and correctly for Corinne's consumption.After a while, he brought out some meatballs and called toward the living room, "Corinne, dinner's ready!""Coming!" said Corinne. She then turned off the television with the remote and walked toward the dining room. Recently, she was quick to hunger, but she just chalked it down to the baby needing more nourishment.After he called Corinne over, Lucas ordered one of the servants to ask Sunny down for dinner.Sunny was still in his room sulking at that time. However, as much as he was not in the mood to eat, he dared not defy his brother's order.As soon as he came into the dining room and smelled the barbecue grilling, he found his appeti

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
