"Stop!" shouted Jeremy sternly as Corinne walked out of the restroom with his son in her arms.Corinne must not have heard him as she kept walking without once turning around.Jeremy used all of his strength to chase after them in his wheelchair, even though it physically hurt him to do that. All of a sudden, another cubicle door suddenly opened, and a little boy called out to him, "Daddy…"Jeremy froze in his spot and turned to look at him. His eyes instantly became as wide as saucers when he saw the little boy standing there.'What… What's going on? How is this possible?' he thought.Bryan peeked his head out of the cubicle and sighed with relief when he saw Corinne was already gone. Now that the danger had passed, he thought it should be safe for him to call Jeremy.'But who did Mommy take away just now?' he wondered.Jeremy looked at the little boy in the cubicle, then at the boy whom Corinne carried away.'There must be an explanation…' he thought with narrowed eyes.…C

Corinne stared at Edmund sympathetically."That's enough, Mister Lucas," she said, jumping in to defend the poor man. She then turned to Edmund and said, "Why don't you go out first, Edmund?"Edmund bowed to her gratefully. "Yes, Miss Corinne."Lucas became even more upset and jealous when he heard her call Edmund without using the word 'Mister'.'How can she be so casual with Edmund when I don't get to have that privilege?' he thought seethingly. 'Hmph! Oh well.'Not wanting Corinne to think he was ill-tempered, Lucas decided to let the whole thing slide. He waved 'Bryan' over, saying, "Come here, Bryan."'Bryan' became a little sad at being scolded by Corinne. At first, he was hesitant to go over to Lucas, but he somehow felt like he was familiar, so he walked over to him docilely.Lucas picked him up lovingly. "What's the matter? Did you get scolded by your Mommy?"'Bryan' nodded with a pout.Lucas patted him gently on the head. "That's because she's worried about you. You

Corinne did not really like how Lucas was spoiling her kids."Mister Lucas, leave him aside for a moment. Has the bidding for the piece of land in Serenity Bay started?"Lucas turned to her. "I've already got it for you."Relief immediately flooded Corinne when she heard that. "What was the final price?"Lucas held up one finger.Corinne narrowed her eyes. "One billion dollars?"Lucas nodded. "The other patron from the opposite booth kept bidding against me, so that's why it ended up being one billion dollars. But don't worry, I can give you the money if it's out of your budget."The amount was indeed way, way over Corinne's budget.It was not that Holden Group could not come up with that kind of money, but even if the location of the land was amazing, the size of it still could not justify the price of one billion dollars.Overall, the value-to-cost price was pretty unreasonable.All the patrons who were at the auction were wealthy people, but even so, they were not the type

It was just as Corinne expected—Sophia had been bidding against Lucas to artificially inflate the price!The piece of land in Serenity Bay belonged to Sophia's father, so she pretended to be a patron to raise the price and bring in more profit for her family.What she did was a big no-no in the world of auction."You can leave after putting the snacks there," ordered Sophia. She continued to sip her coffee without looking up as she thought it was a waitress who had come in.It was not until she did not receive a response that she thought something was not right. Her eyes became as wide as saucers the moment she looked up."Corinne?! What are you doing here?"Sophia's first reaction was shock and disgust, but those emotions were quickly replaced by guilt.Fearing Corinne would bump into Benjamin and Jeremy, Sophia quickly looked behind Corinne to check if they were coming back."Miss Sophia, don't you think what you did was extremely despicable?" asked Corinne with a mocking smi

Jeremy only looked away from Corinne after she went back inside her private booth. He looked down at the boy who looked exactly like his son, and when he saw the fear in the boy's face, he thought, 'He seems like he's really scared of being found by that woman.'He put his hand on Bryan's head and said, "Come now. Let's go inside."Bryan snapped out of his trance and went inside the private booth with Jeremy.Sophia could not help but worry that Jeremy had seen Corinne since it was not that long ago that Corinne left."Zachary, what took you and Benjamin so long?" she asked with an unnatural smile on her face.In contrast to her, Jeremy's expression remained impassive."Benjamin was experiencing some minor diarrhea, so I waited for him to be done. By the way, who was that?" he asked naturally as though they were just having a casual conversation."Beats me. She was just some random woman who thought this was her private booth," replied Sophia as naturally as she could while star

However, Sophia did not hear Bryan this time.…Corinne sat in her private booth with a frown. She looked like she was lost in thought.Seeing this, Lucas asked her gently, "Are you okay? Did you find out who the patron in the opposite booth was?"Corinne nodded. "It's Sophia."Lucas was stunned. He looked worriedly at Corinne as he finally realized why Sophia bidded against him."It's so despicable for Adam Group to employ this kind of tactic," he said with a scoff.Corinne scoffed as well. "It's not only despicable but greedy too! By doing so, they've raised the price to ten times its fair value!"Lucas agreed to what Corinne said. His eyes darkened. "Don't worry. I'll explain what happened to the person in charge later. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land at a fair market price for you."Corinne did not have any proof that Adam was Sophia's father since the old Adam had wiped out all of his past when he took up his new name.Even so, she had faith Lucas would

"Oh. Well, Sophia was the only person when I went into her booth," replied Corinne."That's good. It'll be easier to settle the matter if her father isn't here," said Lucas.Corinne observed Lucas quietly. Somehow, she could not help but feel something was not right.Lucas knew Corinne was looking at him. He did have something on his mind, but he was not ready to reveal it to her yet. Thus, he turned to look out of the window to avoid her gaze since he could not control his expression well.When he went to talk to the person in charge, the person showed him the surveillance footage to confirm his story.On the screen, Lucas saw that Sophia had come with a man and a boy. Even though the man was in a wheelchair, he was sure that it was Jeremy.Lucas could not really get a good look at the boy since the surveillance footage only managed to capture the top of his head due to his height. Based on his height, he looked to be the same age as Bryan and Christine.Lucas did not dare tell

"What?! It's that d*mn woman again?!"Francine immediately became angry when she heard that. She always hated Sophia, but the fact that Sophia was pulling some shady sh*t behind their backs again made her want to punch her even more!'God, why is that woman everywhere? Isn't it enough that she caused Jeremy to go missing, and she's now back to cause more trouble for Corinne? Ugh! I should've gone to the auction to give her a piece of my mind,' thought Francine.She would have punched Sophia in the face to quell the anger inside of her if she had seen her at the auction house.At that moment, Corinne was so tired that she wished she could fall asleep forever. For some reason, she felt more easily tired than before.Usually, she had more energy than that. Maybe it was because she used up too much brain power during the car ride back home to figure out what Lucas was hiding from her. After all, his behavior was too unusual for comfort.'Based on his reaction, his talk with the perso

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
