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

Francine was helping Pamela out when she saw what happened."Jeremy, why is Corinne staying with the Rivera family? Aren't you worried Lucas will try to steal her from you?" she asked, bewildered by the turn of events.Pamela thought Francine was right to worry. 'How could Jeremy let Corinne be taken away by Sunny and Lucas?' she thought.Jeremy did not explain much. He simply said, "Lucas will never do that."That still did not put Francine at ease. "How can you be so sure? He's a man too! You shouldn't trust another man so easily, Jeremy."Annie rarely agreed with Francine, but this time, she did. She nodded and said, "Francine's right. What are you waiting for? Things between you and Corinne are finally getting a little bit better! Why don't you take this opportunity to bring her back home?"Seeing that she had Annie's support, Francine felt she was even more right to worry. "Yeah! Go get her back now, Jeremy!"Jeremy frowned. "That's enough! You go back with the grandparents

The silver-haired man reddened with anger when he saw the necklace. He seemed to have forgotten he was in casts as he shot up from his seat and yelled, "Give me back the necklace!"He risked going back to the explosion site to look for the necklace. It was the only thing his mother left him, and the photo inside was also the only photo with both of them in it.The police officers outside heard the commotion, and they rushed in to control him. "Behave yourself!"The silver-haired man glared at Jeremy and gritted his teeth. "Give me back the necklace!"Jeremy nonchalantly swung the necklace in front of him. "So, are you going to tell me who's the mastermind now?""I told you! No one told me to do anything. It was me who wanted you dead!" snarled the silver-haired man.Jeremy believed the silver-haired man, whose name was Rudy Holden, wanted him dead. Rudy was just one of the many illegitimate sons Jeremy's father had over the years. Thus, that made him his half-brother.Rudy dropp

A few seconds later, Jeremy replied, [My grandparents don't eat supper. You don't have to come out if you don't want to see me. At least have the servants take it in.]Corinne frowned. She knew Jeremy would not leave until the supper was delivered. 'Hmph! Why should I care if he stands outside the whole night? Serves him right for always ordering me around and forcing me to do things I don't want to.'…Outside the Riveras' mansion.Jeremy got out of his car. He then shoved his hands into his pants pockets and looked at the mansion for somebody to come out to take the supper.Tommy had gotten out of the car as well and stood next to Jeremy with the takeout in his hands.No one came out of the mansion, but they saw a car driving toward them from the other end of the road. The car's headlights were so bright that Jeremy and Tommy had to look away.The car stopped outside the mansion, and Jason turned off the headlights before getting out of the car.Jason walked toward Jeremy and

Jeremy helped Corinne tighten the coat around her."Eat it while it's still hot. Tommy bought a lot, so it should be enough for you all to share."Corinne stared into Jeremy's gentle eyes. "Alright, thanks for the trouble."Jeremy frowned. 'She's acting like we're strangers! Though, this is definitely better than her ignoring me.'Corinne was about to go in when she remembered something."By the way, Mister Jeremy, please accept the money I wired to you for the painting."Jeremy frowned. "Must you be so calculative toward me?""Of course. It's important to keep our affairs separate until we solve our problems."Jeremy's eyes darkened, and his tone was less gentle than before. "Go inside, eat your supper, and go to sleep after that!"Corinne pouted and snapped back, "You should go home too, Mister Jeremy. Have a safe journey back."Jeremy, still salty with Corinne's behavior, turned and got into his car. Tommy bowed slightly toward Corinne before following suit.However, the

Jason continued to walk beside Corinne. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively, "Corinne, I saw you accepting the supper Jeremy brought you. Does that mean you're willing to get back together with him?"Corinne was a little taken aback by his question. However, she did not answer him. Instead, she asked him, "Mister Jason, do you want to have some barbecued meat too?"Jason was speechless. Even though she did not answer his question, he already guessed what it would be.…Back in the living room, everyone started to drool with hunger as soon as they smelled the barbecued food.Corinne passed the takeout to Annie."You guys dig in first. I need to go to the toilet."Annie peeked into the takeout box after she took it from Corinne's. "Is this from Uncle Jeremy?"Corinne did not answer her. Instead, she turned and walked toward the bathroom."Who else could it be from?" Sunny stood up and opened up the takeout box excitedly. He then grabbed a skewer and passed it to Xan

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
