A warm glow of happiness instantly filled Sophia's face when she looked down at her child. "Yes, this is my kid. I've gotten married, if you haven't heard. Our son's name is Benjamin! Benjamin, be a good boy and say hello to Aunt Corinne."Benjamin ignored Sophia as all of his attention was on the balloons the old man was holding.Corinne frowned and looked probingly at Sophia. "And may I know who you married?"Sophia smiled. "You won't know him even if I told you his name. He's just an ordinary person. He grew up abroad and had never even been to this country before we got married. I don't think you've ever met him."Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Is that so?" she asked meaningfully.Sophia laughed. "Corinne, don't tell me you think I've married Jeremy?"Corinne's chest tightened at the mention of that name. She kept her eyes trained on Sophia, but Sophia's expression told her that she was not hiding anything at all.Sophia said self-deprecatingly, "I wished I could've married Jer

Corinne ignored Sophia's pointed jab and instead looked at Benjamin suspiciously. She could not get a good look at his face due to the cartoon mask he was wearing."How old is your kid?" Corinne asked."He's two years old this year."'Two years old…' Corinne's gaze remained fixed on the kid with the cartoon mask. Even though his face was covered by the mask, she could still see his deep blue eyes.Tilting his head, Benjamin stared back at her like a little puppy.A look of alarm immediately flashed across Sophia's face when she noticed the two of them staring at each other.She turned Benjamin's head to look at her and asked, "Benjamin, have you decided what balloon you want to get? We need to hurry up since Daddy is still waiting for us at the hotel."Benjamin looked at the balloons and finally chose one in the shape of a dinosaur.After paying quickly, Sophia smiled and said, "I have to go now, Corinne. But let's have a meal together if we bump into each other again. It'll be

As the twins' mother, Corinne was worried they would cry at being left at the kindergarten, which happened a few days ago.The twins were crying when she went to pick them up, but on this day, they came out smiling instead."That's wonderful. Since you two have been so good, you can each choose a balloon you like.""Yay!""I want the bunny!"The twins skipped and hopped over to the old man selling the balloons. The old man kindly bent down so that it would be easier for them to choose which balloon they wanted.Corinne felt relieved to see the twins getting used to their days at the kindergarten.At that moment, she noticed Joey did not go to pick his balloon. Instead, he stood alone with his head hung low."What's the matter, Joey? You don't want a balloon?" Corinne asked him gently.Joey looked up at her with surprise. "I get one, too?"Corinne frowned. "Of course. Why wouldn't Mommy get you one?"Joey's eyes lit up. "Thanks, Mommy!" he said, beaming at her.Only then did

"But, Mommy… I like both balloons…" muttered Bryan with a pitiful pout. He was still at the age where he could not control his greed.Even though Corinne would spoil the kids from time to time, she was very strict when it came to teaching them how to be a decent human being."You can ask me to buy you another one if you like both balloons instead of forcing your brother to give you his. Your brother likes balloons too, and he'll have none if he gives you his. Let me ask you something: Would you be sad if the same thing happened to you?""I know, Mommy, I was wrong…" said Joey. He turned to Joey and said, "Sorry, Joey. Let's share our balloons! You can play with mine, too."Joey decided to forgive and forget. He smiled happily and said, "Okay! Let's play together."Children's emotions were ever-changing like the weather, and it was not long before their laughter could be heard in the air.The younger twin, Christine, followed after her two brothers with her pink bunny balloon.

The man, whose handsome face was riddled with melancholy, snapped out of his trance and glanced at Sophia silently when he heard her calling him.The bedroom window was opened, allowing the gentle breeze to blow in, which caused the white curtain to dance around the man. It was quite a beautiful sight to behold if one had a thing for this kind of aesthetics.As though accustomed to the man not speaking, Sophia did not pay too much mind to his silence. Instead, she walked over to the window to close it before turning to him to ask, "Your lunch is untouched, so I'm guessing you haven't eaten. What about your medicine?""I've already taken them."Sophia glanced at the medicine bottle on the bedside table. "Zachary, the reason we came back to this city is to help Dad sell off all his assets here. We'll have less of a headache once that's done since we won't have to worry about the business dealings here anymore."Zachary showed no response at having heard her. Instead, he kept his eye

Zachary and Sophia were also childhood sweethearts. They were engaged to each other from the get-go.When the car accident happened, he and Sophia were already married for a year, and Sophia subsequently gave birth to their son, Benjamin Finnix.At least, that was what they told Jeremy after he woke up from the car accident. He could not remember anything before that no matter how many medicines he took over the past three years, and the doctor also announced that there would be no chance of recovery for his legs.Lulled by the warm water, Jeremy slowly drifted in and out of consciousness when he heard a knock coming from outside the door."Zachary, are you sure you don't need my help? I'm worried that you'll slip and fall," said Sophia."I'm fine. Just keep watching Benjamin."Sophia tried to open the door but realized it was locked.'Why did he lock the door when I told him not to?' she thought with a frown."Okay, then. Just let me know when you've finished taking the bath.

Sophia loved Jeremy deeply, having fallen for him since the very first day she saw him. Therefore, problems with his virility did not bother her too much.As long as Sophia could keep him by her side, she would consider herself successful and happy.However, she believed that having a child together with Jeremy would help rekindle their feelings and solidify their bond. To that end, before his body had fully healed, she retrieved the child she sent away and tricked him by saying that the child was the result of their union.Jeremy believed in Sophia's words. After all, he and the child bore a striking resemblance to each other. Unfortunately, that child had never shown any affection for Sophia from a young age. No amount of love and care from her end could get him to call her 'Mommy'.Sophia occasionally grew impatient and wished she could scold the child, but the fear of Jeremy finding out was the sole factor holding her back from doing so. She had gone so far, and she could not b

Francine asked, "Do you suspect her husband might be..."Corinne had her suspicions, but she dismissed them as thoroughly illogical. It could not have been Jeremy. Even if Sophia detained Jeremy and eluded their pursuit, he would never be willing to be with—and father a child to—such a despicable woman."Forget it. I don't even know why I have this suspicion," said Corinne. "She said that her husband's surname is Finnix. We're probably overthinking it."Corinne was as yet unaware that she had given birth to triplets. Everyone was afraid that the revelation would upset her, so they all agreed not to mention it to her. Francine was one of those who were in the know, and her first instinct was to suspect that Sophia's child was, in fact, Corinne's.Francine gritted her teeth warily. "I'm going to find out who her husband is."Corinne did not pay too much attention to Francine's reaction and sipped her juice with a straw. She contemplated the situation, firmly believing Jeremy's chara

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
