"No! What the hell is going on? Did something happen to her? Answer me!" demanded Francine.Lucas did not answer her. After thinking it over, he asked again, "Miss Francine, would you be able to contact Sophia now?"Francine knew things were serious if Lucas and Sunny were willing to put aside the bad blood between the two families to go to her house. Thus, after thinking it over, she said, "Sophia has called me before to look for Jeremy, but I didn't save her number. I need to search through my call history to see if I still have a record of her number.""Yes, please do, Miss Francine. That would be a great help to us," said Lucas.Francine quickly took out her phone and scrolled through her call history."I found it! This is her number. But why are you looking for her?" she asked.Lucas decided to give her the short story of it. "Miss Francine, Corinne ran away from the hospital this afternoon. I suspect Sophia took her away. Can you please call her to ask her where Corinne is?

Lucas thanked Francine and turned to leave after he saved Sophia's phone number in his phone.Francine followed after him worriedly. "Wait! I want to go with you to look for Corinne, too!"Lucas did not stop walking. Instead, it was Sunny who stopped Francine. He raised his arm and said, "Francine, it's best if you stay here with your grandparents. They need you more than ever now. You can rest assured that Lucas will find Corinne."Francine frowned. "But…""Now that Jeremy isn't here, you need to step up to take care of your grandparents. Only then can he rest in peace," said Sunny.Francine's eyes wavered. "Okay. You're right. I'll stay here. But call me the moment you found Corinne, okay?"Sunny nodded. "You have my word."…Lucas called Sophia as soon as he got into the car."Hello, who's this?" asked Sophia breezily, which was a stark contrast to when she was on the phone with Francine.Lucas got straight into the matter. "Where's Corinne?" he asked coldly.Sophia was s

Realization suddenly dawned on Xante. She looked at Aaron and said, "Are you saying that the boss might've gone to the explosion site to look for Jeremy?""It's just a guess. It's highly likely, given that we've searched everywhere but the explosion site for her," said Aaron conservatively.Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they all ran back to their cars to drive to the explosion site.…Meanwhile, in a small bungalow located on the outskirts of the city.Corinne was locked up in a small, dirty room with her limbs tied up. The smell of barbecued meat and cheap beer floated into the air. Since she was pregnant, Corinne found the smell so unbearable that she felt like throwing up.From time to time, she would also hear cursing and crude jokes coming from outside the room. Thus, it was safe to say that her two kidnappers were enjoying their time having supper with their friends. They had not even checked in on her once after they threw her into the room.Corinne coul

However, the silver-haired man merely laughed mockingly. "I know he's dead, but he died too quickly for my liking. That's why I'm going to torture the love of his life so he won't be able to rest in peace!"Corinne shrank back with alarm. She could tell the silver-haired man was a psychopath who had no moral qualms about hurting others for fun.A look of condescension flashed across the silver-haired man's eyes. "Scared now, are we? I don't remember you being this much of a coward previously."Corinne gritted her teeth and said nothing. 'Of course I wasn't scared last time! I wasn't pregnant then. I could fight them off and still have energy to run after.'The silver-haired man chuckled softly. "Don't worry. I'm not going to torture you right away. You should thank the baby in your belly for that. The baby's still has some use to me, so I'll wait until you've safely delivered that b*stard before having my way with you!"Corinne frowned. "What use do you have for my baby? Just what

"Tens of millions of dollars might be nothing compared to how much the Holdens are worth, but it's enough for you to never have to work ever again. Plus, you wouldn't have to deal with other members of the Holden family fighting over the company shares with the baby," said Corinne.After thinking it over, the silver-haired man smiled and lifted her chin. "You're right. Your offer does sound very tempting. But, only a fool would choose one over the other. I want both your properties and the Holdens' fortune!"It never crossed Corinne's mind that the silver-haired man would be that greedy. She frowned and asked him, "Sir, may I know your name?"The silver-haired man glanced condescendingly at her. "My name is not to be known for the likes of you!""If I'm not wrong, you're also a Holden, right?" said Corinne calmly. She knew she guessed right when she saw the silver-haired man's face darkened, so she continued to say, "Huh, so I am right. You must be one of the illegitimate sons Jere

"But if I have you, a Holden, on my side, it adds an extra layer of guarantee that I won't be cast away like trash by Jeremy's grandparents. We can work together toward a win-win solution and help each other get the life we want. What do you say?" suggested Corinne.The silver-haired man gazed at Corinne for a while before pushing her away in disgust. "What makes you think I'll be willing to accept a woman Jeremy has used?"Instead of being humiliated or angry, Corinne simply laughed. "The same can be said about Holden Group. He dipped his finger all over it, yet you don't seem to mind at all. You should know I have my own merits for being able to snag someone like Jeremy!"The silver-haired man seemed to be getting convinced. It was just as Corinne deduced—he did not know anything about running a company and had no friends to help him. It would be promising if someone like Corinne could guide him.'Hm, I like her straightforward attitude. It won't be too late to get rid of her aft

Xante and Sunny walked over to look as well.Lucas dusted off his hands and stood up. He then summoned his men back and ordered them to follow the tire tracks.After that, he and the rest of the group got in their own cars and drove off toward the direction of the town.The tire tracks were made visible since the ground around the explosion site was made up of mud, but it would be impossible to see them after they got on the asphalt road. Thus, they had no choice but to stop the car and contact the traffic bureau to help them locate any vehicle that might have looked suspicious through the use of traffic surveillance footage.Since not many cars would drive to the explosion site in the middle of the night, they managed to quickly locate a suspicious-looking minivan driving out from the explosion site and toward a small bungalow situated in a narrow alley.With that information on hand, they swiftly drove to the bungalow. Once they arrived, they could hear the sound of a group of m

All of them—Lucas, Xante, Aaron, and Sunny—clenched their fists when they heard that. They could not stand by and do nothing anymore, so they all rushed into the yard. However, a figure suddenly appeared before them after they had only taken a few steps. They were first alarmed by the newcomer but then became shocked when they saw who it was."I'll take care of them," said the newcomer. After that, he strode over to the small metal gate and kicked it open, surprising the seven or eight men eating and drinking."Are… Aren't you supposed to be dead? Are… Are you a ghost?" stammered one of them in shock."Where's my wife?" asked Jeremy with a death glare."We don't know who your wife is! Men, capture him! The boss will be happy to see him, I'm sure," said one of them.Jeremy kicked over their grill, and some of the charcoal splashed onto the kidnappers' body and face, causing them to scream out in pain. After they calmed down, they rushed over to attack Jeremy.That was when Lucas

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
