Melinda comforted Sophia gently, "Please don't dwell on it, Sophia. You don't have to force yourself when it comes to matters of the heart. Jeremy is already taken, so don't hang onto him so tightly. You need to believe in yourself that you'll find someone who captured your heart just as he has captured yours. You're a good person, and other people will be able to see that side of you."Melinda's words caused Sophia's sorrowful expression to suddenly turn cold. She lifted her head and glared at Melinda, retorting, "Are you trying to teach me how to live my life? Who do you think you are?"Melinda's face froze. She looked rather exasperated and awkward as she responded, "I'm not. I'm just worried for you. I hope to see you move on and find your happiness. I've treated you as my daughter ever since I married your father!"Sophia sneered sarcastically. "Enough! Spare me your hypocrisy! Who are you trying to fool by pretending that you're a good person? I bet you enjoy seeing me heartbr

Jeremy endured the pain coursing through his body and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice. However, he maintained a relaxed tone as he said to Corinne, "Yes, I'm awake."The relief on Corinne's end was evident. Though she had noticed the hoarseness in his voice, she attributed it to the typical morning hoarseness and did not immediately think that something was wrong. She asked, "Where are you now? Have you arrived at Sophia's house yet?"Jeremy replied truthfully, "Yes."Tommy knew it would be inconvenient for Jeremy to hold the phone because of his injury, so he placed it near Jeremy's pillow and left the room to stand guard outside.Corinne then continued to ask, "How did it go? Have you met Adam? Did he give you a hard time?"Her concern left Jeremy feeling a sense of warmth in his heart. A faint smile graced his lips, but his voice still held a hint of seriousness. "He did."Corinne raised her voice when she heard that. "What happened? How did he cause trouble for you?"Jeremy

"Do you know how much I suffered when you left me without a trace? I want you to miss me as much as I missed you last time. There's nothing you can do but wait until I'm back to see and touch me," said Jeremy.Corinne frowned. "Stop this nonsense. I'm really going to get angry if you don't accept my video call invitation now."Jeremy chuckled. "Come now. Be a good girl and let me shower in peace. I'm really tired today, and I'd have to put on some clothes if you want to video call. Even if you only see my face… Well, I'd be too shy, and I'm sure you'd be too."Corinne was speechless. However, she did not insist anymore since he said he was tired. Pouting, she said, "Fine. Go take your shower, then. It's not like I must see you. Hmph!"After that, she hung up the phone so that he could shower in peace. She stared at her phone in a daze and could not help but worry about him.However, thinking back to how his tone sounded normal over the phone, she told herself that Jeremy was fine.

Jeremy glared at Sophia to let her know she misspoke.Sophia never received such icy treatment from Jeremy before. Even though he looked pale and harmless sitting in a wheelchair, she could not help but feel chilled to her bones by Jeremy's threatening aura."From the way I see it, Corinne growing up in the countryside is one of her strengths and not something to be ashamed of. I alone know how capable she is, and I feel like I've used up all of my luck for three lives for her to agree to marry me."Plus, I don't need my wife to come from the same status or background as me. It doesn't matter where she came from or what her background is… All of that isn't important to me, because the most important thing to me is that I love her."'I love her…' Those three little words caused Sophia's face to darken.She gritted her teeth and said, "Jeremy, why don't you underst—""I understand everything now. I understand why you volunteered to help me out back then," interrupted Jeremy impatie

Once they arrived at the city hall, Sophia hesitated for a long while before finally taking out her ID card needed for application for marriage revocation.The lawyer Jeremy brought with him liaised with the counter-staff, and the whole process went smoothly.Finally, the counter-staff took back and shredded their marriage certificate, and that was the end of their sham marriage.Tommy wheeled Jeremy out of the city hall.The two of them were about to get into the car sent by the Holdens to go to the airport when Sophia rushed out and said, "Jeremy, why are you leaving? Didn't you promise me to have one last meal together?"Jeremy's heart was not in eating with Sophia. He wanted nothing more than to return home, with his head held high, and tell Corinne that he had solved the problem. He wanted nothing more than to wait with her for the baby to be born.However, as much as he was annoyed with having to eat with Sophia, he could not bear to go back on his promise after seeing how

With her hope dashed, Sophia laughed ruefully. "Don't get me wrong, Jeremy. I don't hold out any expectation for us to be together now that our marriage has been revoked. But can you please help me out with one last thing before you leave?"Having been set up by her before, Jeremy's eyes rang with caution. "What is it?"Sophia rested her chin on her hand and said in a troubled tone, "There's this guy who has been chasing me all these years. Since I've given up on you, I'm…actually considering accepting him.""Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? Go for it."Sophia blinked innocently at him. "Jeremy, if you really did think of me as your friend before, can you help me check him out? He'll be coming to pick me up later, so can you see if he's serious about me? I'm asking you 'cause you're a guy, and a guy knows a guy best."Her request was not unreasonable, so Jeremy looked at his watch to see if there was still time. 'If Sophia has a boyfriend, Adam won't do anything to Corinne any

Corinne pulled up Joey, who was playing with his toys, from the carpeted floor. "Let's put away your toys. We'll have a walk outside the garden," she said.Joey nodded obediently. He put away his toys and ran back toward Corinne to hold her hand. "Auntie Sissy! Walk! Walk!"Corinne got up and was about to take him outside when a servant came in and reported, "Mister Lucas, the Holdens are here.""Who exactly?" asked Lucas with a raised eyebrow. 'It can't be Jeremy since he's abroad.'"It's Miss Francine and her grandmother. They said they're here to see Miss Corinne," answered the servant.Corinne stopped walking when she heard that. She knew the Holdens were not welcome there since there was bad blood between them and the Riveras. It was only because of Corinne that Lucas was willing to put aside his grudge for the time being.Lucas frowned and turned toward Corinne with a look that said he would defer to her on this matter.After thinking about this, she said, "Well, they're a

Pamela could not help but worry about the fact that Corinne refused to address her simply as 'Grandma'. She worried that Corinne was still unwilling to forgive Jeremy and that Jeremy—that idiot grandson of hers—would fail to win Corinne back.She worried that Corinne would misunderstand her purpose for going there, so she quickly explained, "Corinne, I hope you won't think that I'm only here to visit the baby and not you. I'd still come even if you're not pregnant now, I promise."She put up her hand as she was saying that.Corinne was a little taken aback by her gesture, and she quickly pulled down Pamela's hand. "I believe you, Grandma. Please don't do this. It hurts me to see you like this."Pamela felt better after hearing Corinne address her simply as 'Grandma'."Thank you for believing me, Corinne. You have no idea how worried I was that you'd think I'm only here for the baby. While I admit that I can't wait to meet my great-grandson, I'm also not the type of grandmother who

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
