Jeremy was indeed surprised, but he was shocked at why a man would be knocking at his door at this late hour. That was all. He did not understand what Lucas was saying at all."Who are you?" he asked.Lucas was stunned by the question. His sneer became even more obvious when he remarked, "What's the matter? Did you lose your memory or something?""Yes, I did. Judging by the way you're talking to me, I'm guessing we used to be enemies?" asked Jeremy calmly.Lucas was incensed by his nonchalance. "You b*stard! Do you have any idea how long Corinne has been looking for you? You've wasted three years of her life!"Jeremy felt a slight ache in his heart when he heard the name 'Corinne'."Who's Corinne?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.Lucas grabbed him by the collar. "I should've never let Corinne marry a b*stard like you!"At that moment, the sound of an elevator door opening could be heard coming from the corridor.Jeremy glanced in the direction of the elevator before pushing Lu

Lucas narrowed his eyes at the phone on the coffee table. He picked it up and gave Corinne a call first. She picked up the call after a few rings."Hey, Corinne. You were looking for me?""Hello, Mister Lucas. Has the auction house given you a reply as to whether Sophia is Adam's daughter?"Lucas could not help but feel his heart ache at the thought of Corinne worrying about the Holdens' business while Jeremy was playing 'happy family' with Sophia right opposite his suite."They haven't got back to me yet, but you don't have to worry about this, Corinne. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land for you at a satisfactory price.""Call me as soon as you get news from the auction house," said Corinne. She was indeed anxious about the matter since she felt that Sophia was not going to admit to her wrongdoing that easily."Will do. What are the kids doing now?" asked Lucas."They're having their dinner and will come up to the room shortly.""Okay. Have a good rest, and don'

Sunny certainly improved a lot over the last three years. After interning at the company's overseas branch, he became more than capable of handling all sorts of matters both in life and at work!Lucas was naturally gratified to witness Sunny's transformation. He no longer had to worry about his younger brother being a good-for-nothing. Tomorrow, he would arrange for Sunny to work in Rivera Group so he could learn more about running a company.…Meanwhile, back in the Riveras' mansion.It was the first time in three years that Sunny had gone home.'Ahh, it's so nice to be home!' thought Sunny as he lazed on the sofa with both his hands behind his head."What did Lucas say? Is he coming back?" he asked when he saw Maxwell hanging up his phone from the corner of his eyes."He said he's busy and will come home to see you tomorrow," replied Maxwell as he put his phone on the coffee table.Sunny was surprised at the answer at all. He scoffed and said, "I knew he'd never put me over h

Xante averted her gaze from Sunny and sipped her wine. "He's not cute anymore, that's for sure.""First you complain he's too immature, and now you're complaining he's not cute anymore? What do you want, Xante?"Xante put down her wine glass. "I don't want anything. Excuse me while I go to the restroom."She stood up, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and walked over to where the restroom was.After she had done her business, she went to wash her hands. However, there was already a man washing his hands at the sink area since the sinks were located between the men's and women's restrooms.Xante could tell the man was Sunny based on his figure and his reflection in the mirror. That did not stop her from going over. She continued walking naturally and calmly to the sink area."Hey Xante, it's been a while," said Sunny while looking at her from the mirror."Yup, it sure has," replied Xante while washing her hands."You look different than before, Xante," said Sunny with a polite

Sunny pulled out two tissues from the dispenser behind Xante to dry his hands before throwing them into the trash can. He then turned and walked out of the restroom.It was as if he found her disgusting.Xante snickered at Sunny's retreating figure, thinking, 'He's behaving like he's a forty-year-old man…'She turned back around to look at herself in the mirror. 'Has my face really become saggy? Is it really that obvious that I've grown old? But I'm only twenty-six years old this year…'…While going back to her seat, Xante passed through the dance floor and saw Sunny dancing the waltz with a girl who looked to be around 20 years old.'That should be his girlfriend. She's probably from some wealthy family like him as well. Well, they certainly make a good match,' she thought."What took you so long? Were you having a secret meeting with a certain someone?" teased Aaron after Xante got back to her seat.Xante rolled her eyes at him. "As if! I'm leaving the party now. Are you com

'What sort of answer is that? How is anyone supposed to know where you want to go?' Xante thought with a frown. She was about to chastise Sunny slightly when she felt a ticklish sensation on her thigh. When she looked down, she saw Sunny running his fingers lightly across her thigh underneath her skirt.Xante smacked his hand away and hissed, "Don't be such a creep!"Sunny chuckled before placing his hand back on her leg. At the same time, he asked the driver, "Could you please raise the privacy curtain? I'm going to have to discuss some…business with Miss Xante."The driver was taken aback by the request and glanced at his boss to seek her approval.Realizing that Sunny was up to some funny business, Xante nodded, signaling the driver to do as instructed. She did not want the driver to feel awkward because of Sunny's antics.With the privacy curtain drawn, the back row became a private space for Xante and Sunny.Sunny grew even more unruly and lifted Xante and placed her on his

"Uhh... Because Xante's with me now?" Sunny replied.Corinne had a rough idea of what was going on. "Pass her the phone!"Sunny stayed silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, but she's busy right now. I'll visit you and the children at the Holdens tomorrow. Can we talk then?"Corinne pursed her lips when he ended the call. 'That little brat!'"Mommy..." Joey's voice suddenly came from behind her.Corinne put her phone away and turned, only to see Joey coming in with a worried look. "What's wrong, Joey?"Joey frowned and said, "Mommy, Bryan and Christine are fighting! I couldn't stop them, but Aunt Francine was teaching them a lesson right now. Please break up their fight, Mommy..."'Bryan and Christine are fighting?' Corinne found that highly unusual. 'Bryan and Christine were twins who never fought before, so what gives?'"Where are they now?" Corinne inquired.Joey took his mother's hand and replied, "In Aunt Francine's room. She's scolding them right now! Hurry up, Mommy! They mig

Corinne's anger was directly proportional to her calmness. The lack of visible anger was much more terrifying than if she were to scold them directly.After telling 'Bryan' and Christine to come with her, Corinne turned and walked out.'Bryan' and Christine looked at Francine, silently requesting her to intercede for them.Francine could tell that Corinne was genuinely infuriated, so she decided not to interfere with Corinne taking disciplinary action against the children. She shrugged helplessly at the two kids and said, "I can't help you anymore now that your Mommy knows what happened. Now you'll have to face the consequences of your actions."'Bryan' and Christine were disheartened; Francine seemed to have left them to be sent to their doom! There was nothing they could do except follow their mother out of their aunt's room.Corinne brought the three children back to her bedroom. She sat on the sofa and looked frustratedly at the kids. Then, she patted the seat next to her and

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
