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

"Yeah, it's probably Mister Aaron," answered Annie honestly. "In fact, we came together, so he and Xante would give me a ride back later."Marcus finally could not hold back the question he had been wanting to ask. "Annie, just what is your relationship with Mister Aaron?"Annie was taken aback by his question. "Marcus, why do you ask? Nothing is going on between us!" she said embarrassingly."In that case, why does it seem like he cares a lot about you? I even heard from my colleagues that you first came to work in the company because of him! Is that true?""Uhhh… Yes. It's true."Marcus felt unbelievably disappointed by Annie's reply, but at the same time, he was grateful for her honesty."Annie, thank you for being honest with me. Then do you still like him now?"Annie wanted to avoid answering this question but could not."It doesn't matter whether I still like him or not because we're never going to end up together. Marcus, you have nothing to worry about. I promised to ta

Jason was a little taken aback by Lucas' answer, and he smiled self-deprecatingly."So as Corinne's brother, you're willing to see past the bad blood between the two families and let Corinne marry Jeremy?""I don't want to do anything that'll make Corinne sad since it's taken me this long to find her," said Lucas seriously. "That means I'll give her anything she wants. I'll still keep an eye on her even if she marries Jeremy, and I'll kill him if he dares to make her cry."Jason looked at Lucas stunned before pretending to be frightened. "I pity the poor fool who has you as his brother-in-law.""Well, no one's stopping you from leaving if you're scared."Jason smiled. "Oh, come on, Lucas! Why don't you consider having me as your brother-in-law? I promise I'll treat Corinne better than Jeremy treats her.""But she doesn't like you," said Lucas, going straight for the jugular.Jason's smile froze. A second later, he shrugged. "Who's to say she won't like me in the future?"Lucas

"Look, I'm happy that you've come to visit me, but I don't want to talk about this with you," said Corinne lacklusterly.Jason smiled. "I just want to ask what's going to happen to me if you've decided to get back with Jeremy?"Corinne looked at him sincerely. "Jason, I see you as my friend only. We'll always be friends."Jason's expression faltered, and it was not long until a sad smile appeared on his face. "Always, huh? You really know how to turn a man down, Corinne.""I don't want to lead you on when I have no feelings toward you. That's what a sc*mbag would do, and I'm not a sc*mbag," said Corinne.She yawned lazily and stood up. "Please enjoy your meal, y'all. I'm going to shower and head to bed now."Annie stood up as well. "Corinne, let me help you up to your room!"Corinne did not turn down her help, and the two of them went up the stairs together.Jason looked so forlorn that his gaze became slightly unfocused. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes and picked up C

Annie pouted. "No, I don't want to leave! It's nearly morning, anyway! Let me stay here with you until then, and I'll take a cab home after that."Marcus got angry at her because of Aaron, so she wanted to collect her thoughts before having any contact with Aaron. She knew if she went downstairs then, Aaron would never let her go back home. It was best to stay with Corinne and leave after Aaron had left."By the way, I managed to get some details about Sophia. Do you want to hear them?" said Annie in a tone that aimed to evoke curiosity.Corinne was resting against the headboard and scrolling through her phone. Her expression became slightly intrigued when she heard that. She looked up and said to Annie, "Speak."Knowing she had gotten Corinne's full attention, Annie sat on the floor and put her elbow on the bed, her chin resting in her hand as she told Corinne what she knew."I'm sure you've noticed Uncle Jeremy kept a clear boundary between himself and Anya, even when he mistake

"You're Jeremy's niece, alright—defending him so fervently," said Corinne mockingly. "To me, hiding something from me is as good as lying. Not to mention, I did ask him whether he was hiding anything from me, and he said he wasn't."Annie sighed again. "I'm a woman too, but I understand how you feel. No one likes to be lied to by the people they love and trust. But Corinne, don't you get the sense that Uncle Jeremy is quite scared of you? He must not dare to tell you after imagining how angry you would be."Corinne found that laughable. "Heh! As if I'd ever believe he's scared of me. You haven't seen the way he shouts at me when he's angry at me."Annie spread her hands helplessly. "Take today, for example. Uncle Jeremy doesn't really care what the Riveras think of him. But even so, he didn't dare to set foot inside because he was worried you'd get angry at him again."Corinne was speechless.Annie continued, "Also, Uncle Jeremy got legally married to Sophia not because of some 'b

Both Jeremy and Corinne's mothers went missing when they were young, and they had no idea whether their mothers were still alive or dead."Where's Jeremy's father now?" asked Corinne.Annie sighed. "After Uncle Jeremy's mother left, his father stopped going out and fooling around with other women. Not long after that, he ran off to be a monk at some temple high up in Cloud Mountain."Grandpa Greg sent people to convince him to come back several times, but he refused, and Grandpa Greg fell sick because of this. Later, he realized that his grandson was the complete opposite of his son in terms of temperament."Uncle Jeremy, who was pushing thirty by then, was a workaholic who had no interest in women, whereas his father only knew how to fool around with women at his age. Gradually, rumors that Uncle Jeremy is into men started to fly around."To dispel the rumors, Grandpa Greg rushed Uncle Jeremy into marriage, telling him it doesn't matter who he marries as long as she's a woman and

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
