Sunny decided to lower his pride as he pleaded, "Xante, can you please be more serious toward me? You don't have to tell anyone I'm your boyfriend, but don't accept advances from other men either! I can become more mature if you like that type of man! Just give me some time to learn. I promise you I'll learn!"Xante was a little taken aback, but she then looked at him calmly."Do you really think I'll hold any expectation toward a kid who hasn't even graduated from high school or who can't even get into a university? Wait for you to become more mature? Heh, I might as well accept you're never going to grow up or make me stop worrying about you."Sunny's eyes widened as they trembled. His ego was everything to him, yet he could only back away in shame after being talked down by the woman he loved the most.Xante suddenly felt guilty when she saw how hurt Sunny looked. However, she made her decision. Sunny was too serious for his own good. It would be harder to break up with him if t

Xante smiled. "You're overestimating yourself. Newmoon Group can more than afford to lose the business you bring us. I appreciate all the romantic gestures you've done for me tonight, but you should know I'm not the young girl I once was. Frankly, these things embarrassed me."Shawn felt a pang of hurt in his chest. Frowning, he said, "Xante, I…"Xante did not want to hear what he had to say anymore, so she shouted toward the private room, "Aaron!""Coming!" Aaron immediately ran out of the private room.Xante threw a set of car keys toward him. "You haven't drunk any alcohol, so you can drive me home. Bring the car around, and let's get out of here."Aaron caught the car keys and said under his breath, "What does she think I am? Her driver?"Xante ignored Aaron and walked toward the entrance. She waited for him to bring the car around.Very quickly, Aaron arrived with the car, and Xante got into it.As soon as she got into the car, Aaron joked, "Xante, your ex-boyfriend might

Both Xante and Aaron heard a loud bang coming from upstairs the moment they entered the Riveras' living room, causing them to look up the stairs in confusion.Corinne, who sat on the sofa playing jigsaw puzzle with Joey, also heard the loud noise. She quickly stroked Joey's head to soothe him.After glancing at the stairs, she calmly explained to Xante and Aaron, "Ignore the noise. Sunny just came back. It looks like someone pissed him off again."Aaron's smile deepened when he heard that. He then turned to Xante and mused, "I do wonder who dares to anger Mister Sunny."Xante threw him a cold glance and said nothing. Instead, she turned to Corinne and said, "Boss, I heard Mister Jeremy went to Molomia again. Is that true?"Hearing this, Corinne instinctively glanced at her phone, which sat on a coffee table.Jeremy promised to call her as soon as he landed, but there was still no news from him.Aaron noticed Corinne glancing at the phone, so he smiled and said, "You must be wait

"Mister Lucas, you're still awake?" asked Aaron with a smile.Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to Aaron. "Don't tell Corinne anything about Adam," he warned sternly.Aaron was a little taken aback. "Why not?""You don't need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would react if you told her about all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know she's very worried about Jeremy. So, for her and the baby's sake, just keep your mouth shut about Adam. The less she knows, the better."Aaron smiled. "Oh wow, I didn't know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn't that long when you repeatedly hurt her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you're the same person as you were back then."Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking him. However, he did not get angry as he felt like he

Lucas was genuinely impressed by Sunny's resolution, which was very rare indeed."Okay. You get yourself ready, then. I'll arrange for your departure after Corinne gives birth to the baby.""Okay. Thanks, Lucas!" said Sunny with a nod. He then went upstairs with a newfound kind of determination.'That kid is finally growing up,' mused Lucas as he watched Sunny leave.…Corinne was in her room patting Joey to sleep. She would glance at her phone from time to time, even though she knew it would be impossible for Jeremy to land so soon.Somehow, she dozed off.When she woke up the next day, there was still no news from Jeremy. Thus, she spent the whole day distracted.It was not until evening that she received a call from Jeremy."I've just landed. Have you eaten?" he asked.Corinne breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of Jeremy's voice. "Yeah. All three meals. How about you?"Jeremy sounded like he was walking. "Yeah. I had airplane food. It was disgusting, even though I was

Corinne did not seem perturbed. "Hurry up. Which song would you like to listen to? I'll play it for you so it won't feel awkward when we don't have anything to talk about during the call."Jeremy remained composed and unaffected. Even her shallow breathing was comforting to her. He replied, "Let's listen to 'Bridge over Troubled Water'."Corinne used her music player to search for the song and found several by different artists. She asked, "Who's the singer?"Jeremy replied, "Simon and Garfunkel."Music soon filled the air as Corinne played the track. After listening briefly to the song, she suddenly remarked, "I never felt such a significant generation gap between us before this, but I feel it now that I'm listening to this song! We listen to songs from different eras, haha..."Jeremy stopped typing on his keyboard. He seemed to take some offense to Corinne's remark. "Are you bothered by my age?"Corinne sighed. "There's nothing I can do about it even if I am. You being older th

Jeremy approached Adam calmly, projecting strength while being very polite. He said, "I'm just a friend of your daughter, so you shouldn't call me that. Please, just call me by my name."Adam replied with an emotionless smile, "Why shouldn't I? You have a marriage certificate with my daughter. Who else are you if you're not my son-in-law?"Jeremy explained, "Sophia and I obtained the marriage certificate to convince my grandfather to undergo surgery. This was the agreement your daughter and I made. The agreement clearly stated that the marriage certificate was solely for that purpose. It has no other significance. Once that situation is resolved, both parties can agree on a date to annul the certificate."Having said that, Jeremy nodded to Tommy, signaling for him to present the agreement to Adam.Adam glanced at the agreement with a menacing expression but did not reach out to take it.Jeremy continued, "If you're dissatisfied with this agreement, feel free to raise your terms. I

"You're a grown man. This might not affect your reputation at all, but Sophia's marriage history might someday come to light even if you annul the marriage. There would be disdain and criticism from her future spouse and in-laws! Do you have any idea how much this would affect a young woman's life? You seem to be taking this very lightly!"Adam's irritation grew as he spoke. He signaled to the men beside him, and they promptly handed him a professional baseball bat.Adam gently tapped the baseball bat in his hand and said, "It is my duty as a father to prevent anyone from mistreating my daughter like this! You mentioned compensating Sophia, right? Very well! I'll present you with two options now. The first is to forget about Corinne, have a grand wedding with my daughter, and be responsible for her for as long as she lives. As for the other option, I'll allow you to annul your marriage with Sophia if you're able to survive a hundred strikes of this baseball bat. The ball is in your c

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
