Sophia then walked past Lilin and her mother.Lilin's mother did not know what to do about Sophia's attitude toward her, but that did not mean she could not teach her own daughter. She bent down to her eye level and patiently said to her, "Lilin, what's the matter with you today? Why were you so rude to Sophia? You should've welcomed her back with open arms.""But Mommy, she called you a homewrecker!" whined Lilin. "Why do I have to treat her with respect when she doesn't treat you with respect?"Lilin's mother was speechless.She heard what Sophia called her too, but she pretended not to because she did not want to start a fight with Sophia, the daughter of Adam and his ex-wife.Understanding Lilin's feelings, she did not say anything more. Instead, she led Lilin to find Adam.The two of them came to the pond and saw Adam ordering his men to do something with a stern expression on his face.Lilin's mother knew her husband very well. She only needed to take one look at his expre

Adam pretended not to have heard what Melinda said. He bent down to hug Lilin."Come, Lilin. Let me teach you how to fish."Lilin hugged her teddy bear tighter to her chest. She puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away. "Hmph! I don't want to play with Daddy!"Seeing this, Adam got down to her eye level and playfully muttered, "Why don't you want to play with me, Lilin? Did I do anything to make you angry?""Hmph! You're going to hurt innocent people again. I don't like it when Daddy hurts innocent people!"Lilin was also the apple of Adam's eye as she was born late in his years. He spoiled both of his daughters very much and tried his best to make sure he did not show any favoritism toward one or the other.However, Sophia refused to accept Melinda as her stepmother and Lilin as her half-sister. She would often tell other people that she was an only child. Adam did not correct her because he felt like he owed her.Fortunately for him, Melinda decided to let Sophia's attitu

Corinne simply made noncommittal noises and continued to eat her breakfast.Annie, who stayed overnight, was also having her breakfast with Corinne, Lucas, and Sunny.Seeing Lucas caring so deeply about Corinne, Annie could not help but feel jealous on Jeremy's behalf. She shot a warning glare at him.Lucas naturally felt the hostility aimed at him, but he did not care. He wiped his mouth with a napkin after finishing his breakfast. He then stood up, said goodbye to Corinne, and left for work.After he left, Annie could not help but ask, "Corinne, don't you think Lucas seems to treat you better than he treats others?""Does he?"Annie nodded rapidly. "Yeah. The way he looks at you is so much gentler than the way he looks at Sunny. I think he has a crush on you, so it's best not to stay here. You can stay with me if you don't want to go back to stay with Uncle Jeremy."Corinne finished eating her breakfast by then. She stood up and patted Annie's head. "Go home if you've finished

However, Annie had somewhere else in mind. "No, please don't send me home. Drop me off at Newmoon Group instead."Sunny instantly perked up when he heard 'Newmoon Group'."Why are you going there so early in the morning?" he asked.Annie thought she should at least explain herself to Marcus face-to-face after their conversation yesterday. Otherwise, she would be haunted by their last conversation which did not end well."I need to talk to someone there…"The car started driving away slowly."Mister Sunny, should I drop you off at school first, or should I drop Miss Annie off at Newmoon Group first?" asked the driver.Newmoon Group was on the way to Sunny's school."I still have plenty of time before school starts, so you can drop her off at Newmoon Group first," replied Sunny."As you wish, Mister Sunny."The car started moving toward the direction of Newmoon Group.Sunny crossed his arms and said, "If I've guessed correctly, you must be going there to talk to Aaron."Annie

"Doesn't this mean you're being cheated on if you're really Miss Xante's boyfriend?" asked Annie in mock pity.Sunny did not care whether he was being cheated on or not. All he felt at that moment was raging jealousy. He ignored Annie and rushed out of the car.Seeing this, the driver shouted, "Mister Sunny, why did you leave the car?! You're supposed to go to school!"Skipping school was the least of Sunny's worries at that moment. After all, he was going to lose Xante if he did not chase off the other man right then.He quickly strode toward Xante and pushed the man away. "Who is he? What were you guys doing just now?"Xante was somewhat shocked by his sudden arrival, but her expression morphed into one of annoyance. "What are you doing here?""Just what were you going to do with this guy if I hadn't come?" demanded Sunny.Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. Her expression told them she felt both resigned and annoyed.The man whom Sunny pushed away decided to let him off

Curiosity got the better of Annie. Seeing that they were alone in the elevator, she could not help but ask, "Miss Xante, do you like Sunny?"Xante's expression remained neutral. "What do you think?"Annie gave it some thought. "Umm… I think you at least don't dislike him. Knowing you, Miss Xante, you would've ignored him if you didn't like him. Though, I feel like the man just now is more suitable for you because Sunny is just too immature."Xante smiled lightly. She did not give any comment on what Annie said but instead asked, "Are you here for Aaron?"Annie's face contorted unnaturally at the mention of Aaron. She then shook her head and said, "No, I'm here for Marcus."Ding! The elevator door opened.Xante walked out of the elevator and said, "Alright. Go ahead, then."Annie was slightly annoyed that she could not extract any information out of Xante.Xante might seem unapproachable at times, but she was not cold-hearted. For example, she might have behaved impassively when

Aaron raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh? So you're not here for me? Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed."After that, he walked past her to go into his office.Annie's lips twitched out of anger and resignation. 'He did that on purpose, I swear! How have I never noticed how much of a scheming b*stard he could be?'At that point, she had no choice but to wait for Marcus to finish his work so she could clear up the misunderstanding, explaining what happened last night if she could.Annie sighed and went to the cafeteria to begin the long wait.Marcus' meeting went on for two hours, and it was already lunchtime by the time it finished.Staff began to flood into the cafeteria, and some of Annie's ex-colleagues waved hello and dropped by for a chat when they saw her.Annie quickly finished her conversation with her ex-colleagues and went up to Marcus when she saw him walking in.Marcus ignored her and proceeded to queue up to get his food.Annie tugged his sleeves gently. "Marcus, let'

Marcus frowned when Annie failed to respond."You don't want to marry me? Is it because you think a lowly employee like me isn't worthy of marrying you? Is this what you mean when you say you're serious about me?"Annie quickly shook her head. "No, no, no. It's just that… This is too sudden for me. I was too shocked by your proposal."Marcus suddenly put down his utensils and grabbed Annie's hands. "Annie, I really, really like you. That's why I get jealous whenever I see you being close to another man. Trust me, I'll work hard in the future to give you a good life. Annie, I love you. Will you marry me?"Annie remained shocked. She could not put a finger on her emotions at that moment. Her heart did not race nor did she feel butterflies in her stomach. She did not even feel overwhelmed with joy in the slightest!It was very complicated, to say the least.At that moment, Marcus' colleagues—who sat at the table next to them—overheard his proposal and shouted, "Marry him! Marry him!

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
