"Don't worry. I won't ever bother you again," said Sunny with a hardened expression. His fists were clenched tightly as though it took all of his willpower to make up his mind.Xante's expression remained the same when she heard that, but after a while, she smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."Then, without saying anything else, she got up and went back inside Corinne's room.Sunny unclenched his fists and hung his head low like a deflated balloon. He completely lost his usual arrogance."What are you doing here?" asked Lucas sternly as he walked over to him.Sunny looked up and answered listlessly, "I heard Corinne's water broke when I got home, so I rushed over to see her."Afraid that Sunny would only add to the chaos, Lucas frowned and said, "Go home if you've seen her. Get your stuff ready. Edmund will be taking you abroad next week."Sunny nodded. He then looked at Corinne's hospital room door with a complicated expression before getting up and walking away listlessly.With S

After lunch, Xante stepped out to take a call, leaving Corinne alone in the room when suddenly someone knocked on the door.Knock! Knock!Corinne knew Xante would not knock before coming in, so her eyes suddenly became filled with hope again. "Come in!"Jason came in with a smile and carried a whole load of expensive supplements in his hands. "Hey, Corinne. It's been a while. Congratulations on giving birth to twins!"Corinne's eyes instantly dimmed a little when she saw it was Jason. "Thanks," she said with a perfunctory smile.Jason put down the bags of supplements on a table before walking over to her bed."Sorry for not visiting you sooner. I was quite busy with work and thought that your due date was still some time away. I came rushing over here right after finding out from Lucas that you've given birth."Apart from his flirtatious nature, Corinne had always been grateful for all the help Jason had given her before. Thus, she nodded and said, "Thanks for taking the trouble

"But the babies still need to stay in the incubator for the time being," added Xante.Corinne immediately frowned when she heard she would have to leave the babies in the hospital. "In that case, I'll stay here too.""Boss, you won't be able to stay with the babies even if you continue to stay here; they need to be in the incubator. It's better for you to go home so you can nurse your body back to health. Aaron and I, along with Mister Lucas and the nurses will take turns to look after the baby. Rest assured that they'll be well taken care of," advised Xante.Even if she could not spend every second with her babies, Corinne still could not bear to leave them all alone in the hospital."I'll go home when the babies go home.""But Boss, you've just given birth, and the first month is important for getting your body back to tip-top condition. Otherwise, it'll be easier for you to fall sick in the future. Of course, it'll be more comfortable for you to stay at home than at the hospita

Francine quickly jumped to Pamela's defense, which was rare for her to react so quickly. "Corinne, Grandma didn't find out about the news from Jeremy. She heard it from Grandpa, and he heard it from the company's board of directors."Both Jeremy's and Tommy's phones were stolen in Molomia, and they couldn't get new numbers at the moment. This, coupled with the fact that he's very busy with putting out fires in the company, made it very hard for him to contact you."Corinne stared at Francine quietly. "Is that so?"Holding her gaze, Francine nodded and said, "Yes. You don't need to worry about him while you're nursing your body back to health. He'll explain everything to you once he's back."Pamela nodded as well. "She's right, Corinne. The most important thing for you to do now is to get your body back to health. The reason I came here today is to bring you home. I've already arranged the best care for you there. What do you say?""No, thanks. I'm not that fragile. Besides, it's m

"But, Corinne…" said Francine, reining in her attitude a little.Corinne did not want to listen anymore to anyone telling her what to do, so she made clear her position. "I'm not going back with you or to the Riveras. I'm going to stay in the hospital. You're all more than welcome to visit me or the babies here."Pamela's face remained riddled with worry. She still wanted to bring her home. "Corinne…""Grandma, I suggest you save your breath," said Corinne politely, "I'm not going back home with you until Jeremy's back as well. Now then, I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't keep you anymore. Xante, bring Grandma and Francine to the nursery to see the babies, and then send them off for me.""Yes, Boss. Miss Pamela, Miss Francine, this way please," said Xante.Pamela frowned. She knew Corinne would never go back with her because of the resentment she held toward Jeremy, so she sighed and gave up on forcing her to go back with her.At the mention of the twins, she became eager to

Jason turned toward Corinne, who looked a little lost and confused. "I think she needs someone to talk to more than she needs to rest."Lucas frowned. "I don't think she wants to talk to you right now.""How can you be so sure? If you don't believe me, you can go out now and let me talk to her alone for a while. I'm pretty sure I can make her smile.""Cut the crap and come out with me now!" said Lucas impatiently as he dragged Jason out.Jason did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Corinne! I'll come back to see you tomorrow!"Corinne glanced at him impassively before turning back to look outside the window dazedly.…Jason straightened out his clothes after being dragged out of the room by Lucas. "Lucas, you idiot! How can you ruin my chance to talk to Corinne alone?"Lucas rolled his eyes at him. "Oh, save it. She's in a bad mood as it is, so why add to it?"Jason scoffed. "Oh, so you know she's sad as well? And we all know very well who made her sad. Lucas, I'm sure you can

In the baby incubator room, Francine put both of her hands on the glass partition wall to get a better look at Corinne's twins."Grandma, Grandma, look! They're so cute! The baby girl looks more like Jeremy while the baby boy looks more like Corinne," she said excitedly.Pamela's eyes naturally filled with happy tears when she saw her great-grandchildren. However, that did not stop her from frowning. Unlike the simple-headed Francine, she had more things to worry about.She turned to Xante after taking a look at her great-grandchildren and said, "Child, I know you're an old friend of Corinne's, and I also know what happened. But just to confirm, are you sure my grandson, Jeremy, really took one of the babies away while Corinne was giving birth?"Xante nodded gravely. "Yes. We all saw him do it."Pamela frowned. "But we had looked into the matter already. While it was true Jeremy bought a return ticket back on the day Corinne was giving birth, he didn't get on the plane. There was

It was reasonable for Xante to suspect that."Sophia must've had something to do with it!" insisted Francine. "Losing Jeremy must've twisted her personality. We should go to her house to save Jeremy now!"Both Xante and Aaron, of course, suspected Sophia. They had arranged for their men to keep an eye on Adam Group and Sophia's house, but nothing out of the ordinary happened for the past few days.Sophia would go shopping or meet up with her friends every day; no signs pointed to her hiding Jeremy.Pamela was a cautious person. She threw Francine a stern glance to shut her up before saying, "Adam spoils that daughter of his. If they do have Jeremy locked up, they must've prepared for all eventualities. It'll be stupid of us to barge in without a plan. Now, the important thing for us is to stay calm."I'll have a talk with my husband to see what our next steps are going to be. Please take care of Corinne for us. Make sure she doesn't catch wind of this. I promise us Holdens will gi

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
