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

Francine found it odd, too. "Grandma's right. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why you'd stay with the Riveras, Corinne. Not to mention, the way Lucas sucked up to you. Does he have a crush on you or something? Is he trying to steal you away while you're having a fight with Jeremy?"Alarm bells rang in Pamela's head when she heard Francine say that. She would never sit by and do nothing if Lucas was trying to steal Corinne away from Jeremy."Is that true, Corinne? Does Lucas really have a crush on you?" she asked.Corinne's lips twitched. "Grandma, it isn't what you think it is. Mister Lucas definitely doesn't have a crush on me."At that moment, she still did not want to reveal her connection with the Riveras. Her stay at their house was only a stopgap measure and not because she wanted to accept them as her family.With the misunderstanding between her and Jeremy cleared up, she did not want to risk doing anything that would jeopardize their relationship again. The bad bl

Pamela's grip tightened around Corinne's hand. "Corinne, I know I haven't been the best grandmother-in-law to you in the past. I should've told you about Sophia, but I hope you can forgive me, too…"Corinne smiled at her serenely. "That's all in the past now, Grandma."She had moved on from the matter.Corinne told herself she had no right to ask Jeremy for an explanation at the start of the relationship since they had a working relationship. Plus, they did not know each other when he got married to Sophia back then.It was only over time that they started to have real feelings for each other.Pamela patted the back of Corinne's hand lovingly. "Thank you, Corinne, for forgiving me. I've always known you're a kind girl. Do you know that Jeremy would frequently sit in his room in a daze after you left? Not to mention, he became even quieter than before."That grandson of mine grew up in a pressure-cooker environment on account of how strict we were with his upbringing. We pinned al

Corinne's eyes immediately dimmed. "Oh. Bring her to the living room to wait for me. And please ask the kitchen to prepare lunch for one more person. She'll probably stay for lunch.""Yes, Miss Corinne," said the servant with a bow before going to do as he was asked.Corinne led Joey back to the living room to meet with Annie. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Annie dragging a large box toward her."Hey, Corinne!"Corinne looked down at the box before turning back to Annie with a raised eyebrow. "What's this? Did you run away from home?"Annie waved dismissively. "Nope. I've specially prepared this for you, Corinne. Inside, you'll find all the things you'll need for your stay in the hospital. I mean, the baby's going to come out soon, right?"Corinne's lips twitched. She looked at the box, which was way bigger than a 24-inch luggage bag, again and said, "I've got everything I need. There won't be any place in the hospital room to put such a huge box, so please retur

"Wow! I often come across online videos of babies kicking in their mother's belly, but I never expect it'll be this strong," said Annie in surprise and awe. "Corinne, you seem like you have a very naughty baby inside you. Does it not make you uncomfortable?"A motherly halo appeared above Corinne's head. She gently stroked her belly while saying, "It's bearable. I won't be surprised if this kid turns out as exasperating as his dad."Annie rested her cheek on her hand as she stared at Corinne, who was absolutely overflowing with happiness albeit without herself aware of it. "Oh, Corinne, I'm so jealous of you. You and Uncle Jeremy are going to live happily ever after together. I hope I'll find a man that loves me as much as Uncle Jeremy loves you in the future."Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have a boyfriend? I'm sure the wedding bells will be ringing for you soon."Annie's expression immediately dimmed. "Actually… We've broken up."Corinne was not surprised at all. "Why di

'Jeremy should be landing soon, I hope. He promised me he'll be in the delivery room with me when the baby comes…' thought Corinne.The servants immediately rushed over to help when they heard the commotion coming from the living room. One of them quickly called Lucas to tell him what was happening.Suddenly, Corinne passed out amid the cacophony of sounds. The last thing she heard was the sound of the ambulance siren wailing in the distance.…Meanwhile, Lucas and Sunny were walking out of the school's office. They had completed all the necessary procedures for Sunny to study abroad. Sunny would not have to go back to that school anymore. After some time, he would fly abroad to his new school.Lucas got into the car first while Sunny remained standing by the door for a long while. His expression was complicated as he timidly said, "Lucas, this will be my last time coming to this school. I might not like studying, but that doesn't mean I don't like this school. After all, I've spe

Xante's secretary informed Sunny that Xante was not in her office when he arrived at Newmoon Group. She asked him to come another time.Sunny did not believe her. He thought it was just Xante's excuse to avoid seeing him.Since this would be his last time seeing her before he flew off, Sunny decided to throw away all caution by barging into her office.Xante's secretary tried to stop him but failed. Sunny even pushed her out of the office! Left without a choice, she decided to call Xante to tell her the situation.Once Sunny successfully entered Xante's office, he realized it was just as the secretary said—Xante was not inside.'Where else could she be?' he wondered.He was coming up with a list of possibilities when he suddenly heard some noise coming out of the en-suite restroom.'Oh, so that's where she's hiding,' thought Sunny with a frown. He then waited for Xante to come out of the restroom.However, to his surprise, the person who walked out was a man, and half-naked at

Sunny clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. In the end, he could not hold back anymore; he punched Shawn hard.…Corinne was already wheeled to the delivery room by the time Aaron and Xante arrived at the hospital. Standing outside of the delivery room were Lucas, his bodyguards, and a pale Annie."Mister Lucas, what's the boss' condition right now?" asked Aaron seriously.Lucas' brow furrowed. He might look calm on the surface, but his heart was actually thumping with panic in his chest."Her water broke, and the doctor has given her an epidural. The only thing we can do now is wait and see."Xante fixed a worried gaze at the delivery room door. "Where's Mister Jeremy? Isn't he back yet?"Lucas frowned again at the mention of his useless brother-in-law. He shook his head with disappointment and said, "He didn't pick up his phone when we called him."Xante furrowed her brow, and a look of anger flashed across her face. 'What's the point of marrying him if h

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
