Corinne snorted and said, "I don't want water. I want bubble tea!"Jeremy nodded dutifully and looked at Francine. "Go buy her some bubble tea. Quarter sugar and quarter ice. Be back as soon as you can!"Francine's mind went blank for a moment, but she soon realized that Jeremy and Corinne were about to reconcile. She immediately grinned and said, "On it! I won't be long! One bubble tea coming right up!" She turned and ran off.Corinne paid special attention to her diet during her pregnancy and cut down on a lot of sweets. The stimulation she experienced made her want some bubble tea just so she could calm herself.Jeremy never looked at Sophia. He focused entirely on Corinne, and his gaze seemed to be cherishing her as if she were a delicate little gem.Sophia could not care less what Corinne thought of her, but she was very particular about Jeremy's opinion of her. She thus righteously said, "Corinne misunderstood me, and she's also biased against me. But you know who I am, and

Sophia seemed to have lost all control. "A friend? I'm a woman! I'm beautiful, and I have a good figure. How can you treat me only as a friend? Men and women can't be just 'friends'!"Jeremy became visibly impatient and covered Corinne's ears with his hands. He then said to Sophia, "You're not in the right frame of mind now. Please stop yelling. You'll make her uncomfortable.""All I'm asking is for you to treat me like a woman! Is that so difficult?" Sophia became even more manic.Jeremy finally lost his patience. "Enough! Can someone come in and escort Miss Sophia away, please? She had a little too much to drink. Please bring her back to rest at the hotel!"The servant who came with Jeremy's grandparents came up and said to them, "Right this way, please!"Sophia, naturally, refused to leave. "I didn't have any drinks! And I'm not drunk! I won't leave!"The two servants glanced at Jeremy to seek further instruction. When they saw his unwavering expression, the two of them dragge

Corinne had gained a lot of weight, and Greg noticed she was due soon. "Where have you been all these days?"Corinne smiled without answering. She merely continued to drink her drink.Jeremy followed her and knelt on the ground so he was level with her. He coaxed in a warm voice, "The drink is cold. Even if you like it, you should drink too quickly or you'll have diarrhea."Corinne frowned. "Then so be it."Jeremy knew she was trying to annoy him on purpose. He answered her calmly, "Take it easy and drink slowly. You shouldn't go more than half a cup. I'm going in to check on the interrogation."Corinne answered absent-mindedly.Jeremy patted her head and headed to the police station corridor.After Jeremy left, Francine helped Pamela sit beside Corinne.Corinne smiled politely in a somewhat indifferent manner.Pamela sighed. "I heard what you said to Sophia.""Did it subvert your understanding of me?" Corinne looked up at Pamela. "Do you think I might've been too harsh on Je

Outside the police station.Lucas and Sunny sat in a car while Xante and Aaron were in another. They were all waiting for Corinne to come out.Inside the Riveras' car, Sunny looked at the time on his sports watch and became a little anxious. "It's been an hour. Shouldn't they be done recording the statements by now? Why hasn't Corinne come out yet? I'll go in and check on them!" He reached out to open the car door.Lucas stopped him. "Sit back down! Keep calm, and don't go around causing any trouble. Jeremy is inside, and he won't let anything happen to Corinne."Sunny did not dare to disobey Lucas and immediately closed the car door. He sat back angrily and asked confusedly, "When did you start trusting Jeremy so much? Didn't you use to hate him last time?"Lucas shot him an angry glance.Sunny immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.In the other car, Xante and Aaron sat in the driver's seat and the front passenger seat respectively.Aaron asked somewhat playfully, "Do

Aaron nodded. He raised his hand to pat Annie's shoulder and comfort her. After all, the past few days have been nerve-wracking for her. "Don't worry, Annie."Marcus, Annie's boyfriend, felt uncomfortable when he saw his immediate boss acting inappropriately toward his girlfriend. Even so, it was difficult for him to express his dissatisfaction directly to his boss.He approached them and comforted Annie too. "That's good to know, Annie. It's great that your uncle and aunt. You have nothing to worry about now."Annie looked at Marcus and snapped back to reality. She realized she had been too close to Aaron, so she took a step back and kept her distance from him.Aaron immediately understood what she was thinking and pursed his lips to smile at her.Marcus raised his hand and hugged Annie's shoulders. "Mister Aaron is right. You shouldn't go in right now, so how about we wait outside? I saw a shop not far from here. Let's go get something to drink while we wait."Annie was not in

Marcus felt helpless after hearing what Annie said. He hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "I'll go back home and complete my tasks, then. Give me a call when you're home."Annie nodded. "I will. Don't worry. I'll call you as soon as I get home!"Marcus hugged Annie tightly as if he did not want to leave her alone. He looked intently at Aaron before turning and hailing a taxi to leave.Annie was a little stiff after Marcus hugged her. She had been dating Marcus for a long time, but they never did anything particularly intimate. She always subconsciously avoided Marcus's attempts to get close to her.She treated her relationship with Marcus seriously, and she felt that Marcus was a genuinely good person. She just found it difficult and awkward to get closer to Marcus for reasons even she was unable to explain.Amid her surprise, she heard Aaron's gentle voice telling her, "Let's get in the car. It's getting cold."Annie snapped back to her senses. She looked into Aaro

Aaron lowered his gaze and kept quiet.The partition Xante raised to separate the front seat from the back seat had very poor sound insulation. She could hear what they were both talking about behind her. 'I never would've thought that Aaron would one day be in such a sorry state! He deserves it though.'She fished out a box of ladies' cigarettes from her handbag and took one cigarette out. She was about to light it up when the car door suddenly opened. Sunny sat in angrily and snatched it away.Xante frowned. "What are you doing?""I don't like it when you smoke!" Sunny said with a sullen face.Xante ignored him and took out a new cigarette from the cigarette box.Sunny snatched that away too. "Girls shouldn't smoke!"Xante became a little impatient. "You can't control me."Sunny said seriously, "Who else is going to control you if I don't? I'm your boyfriend!""Don't flatter yourself," Xante smirked. "I simply didn't reject you. I never agreed to you being my boyfriend."Su

Xante lowered the window to get some fresh air. "If you want to be in a relationship, I can have fun with you for a while. If it's marriage you want, you ought to be with someone else!""I want to be with you!" Sunny said stubbornly. Women usually pushed for marriage because they feared that their boyfriend might change his mind or refuse to take responsibility for her, yet Sunny could not understand why Xante seemed to be acting more like a man.Xante said, "Marriage was never part of my plans. You chose the wrong person if you wanted to get married.""Are you an example of someone who doesn't believe in marriage?" Sunny frowned and compromised. "Fine, then. We'll be in a relationship with each other for the rest of our lives. Don't even think of being with anyone else!"Xante looked at Sunny's serious expression and said, "Don't be naive!""I'm serious, I—"Before Sunny could say anything, Xante put out her cigarette and got out of the car. Jeremy was already helping Corinne ou

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
