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

Francine frowned deeply. "See! I knew you guys weren't monitoring her carefully enough! And I could say the same for our family, too! We haven't noticed any unusual goings-on at Adam Group, and we haven't heard anything about Sophia getting married or having a child. I find it very suspicious that Sophia is deliberately concealing her marriage and her children! Any normal woman would want the whole world to know that she's married, but Sophia is being incredibly secretive. Everything is being kept well under wraps! There is something fishy here!"Xante had to tread carefully regarding that situation. "If Sophia intends to hide it, then why bring the child back to the country at such a time? And why would she let Corinne see her? It's quite a contradiction, don't you think?"Francine replied, "How should I know? I came to you to ask for help! You must find out what Sophia has been up to after returning to the country. We need information about her husband and children, preferably incl

Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles calmly and said, "Francine told me that our boss encountered Sophia when she went to pick up the children today."Aaron's expression froze. "When did that woman return to the country? None of our people noticed that."Xante narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and replied, "She obviously knows that we've been keeping an eye on her over the years. She has a strong sense of vigilance, and her family power in Molomia is such that they are fully capable of avoiding us. She has every means of returning to the country undetected. According to Francine, she claimed to be married and was holding a child in her arms. Francine came to us because she wants us to find out who her husband is."Aaron sat across from Xante and mused, "I didn't think she got married so secretively. Our men have been keeping an eye on her, but no one has ever seen any man with her. Could it be—"Xante was well aware of what Aaron was insinuating and immediately cautioned, "We can

Sophia was also wary of waking up Benjamin. After finally soothing him to sleep, she sighed and whispered, "Now that Benjamin is asleep, it's about time we get something to eat. I had some wine and steak sent to the hotel."Jeremy raised his hand and dismissed her offer. "Go ahead without me. I'm not hungry."Sophia frowned. "How are you not hungry when you haven't even eaten lunch?""You can go ahead and start eating," Jeremy reiterated. "I'll eat when I'm hungry."Sophia felt a bit displeased. She sensed that he might be intentionally avoiding a meal with her. However, given the circumstances with the sleeping child, she had little choice but to leave and eat alone."Sophia," came Jeremy's deep voice.She turned back in slight shock and replied, "Yes, Zachary?"Jeremy looked at her with a listless gaze. "I'd like to go out for some fresh air tomorrow. Staying in the hotel all day is getting boring."Sophia was taken aback and seemed to respond with a hint of defensiveness. "T

Francine stood speechless for a moment. She completely forgot that she was supposed to prepare food for the picnic!Pamela emerged slowly from the kitchen and said, "Corinne! I just had some desserts made for the children. There are cookies and cakes. We also have plenty of bread at home. I'll have the nanny make some sandwiches for you. I'll have all the food packed up nicely, and I trust that should suffice for a picnic."Francine burst into a smile upon hearing that and rushed toward her grandmother enthusiastically. "Your timing is impeccable, Grandma!"Pamela was not particularly fond of her vivacious granddaughter and pushed her away.By contrast, she looked at Corinne lovingly and said, "You've been working very hard recently, and it's about time you take a break this weekend."Corinne smiled and replied, "Okay. I will."The three children were thrilled and called out in unison, "Thank you, Great-Grandma!"Hearing her great-grandchildren address her as great-grandmother w

Francine blushed and replied awkwardly, "What do you mean by that? He was very diligent in tutoring me back then!"Corinne neither explained nor rephrased her remark.Chester did not seem to pay too much mind to that either. He grinned shyly and looked at the three little kids seated between the two girls. He sighed. "Time sure flies. The children are all grown up now."Corinne tilted her head and looked out at the passing streetscape through the car window. She murmured, "Yes. Time flies... Three years have passed in the blink of an eye..."The city's lush parks were the preferred destinations for spring outings and picnics. Many families brought their children here to play on weekends when the weather was perfect.Corinne and Francine led the children ahead, while Chester followed behind and helped carry their belongings. After finding a suitable empty spot on the field, Francine pointed and said, "Let's set up our spot here!"Chester nodded. "Sure."The two of them busied the

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
