Aaron rolled up the window as he spoke, causing Annie to blush inexplicably."Why are you nervous?" she asked him with a frown.Aaron came closer and asked, "Well, aren't you? After all, we're getting married tomorrow."Annie's expression froze before a small smile broke through. "I'm actually not that nervous."She was not nervous as she did not believe Aaron would go through with the marriage. She was sure he was just flirting with her.Aaron pretended to be disappointed. "Sigh, it seems I'm the only one who's nervous. You don't care about our marriage at all!"Annie could not bear to be with him like that, so she said, "It's getting late. Please, kindly send me how now."Aaron sighed. As helpless as he felt at that moment, he knew he deserved it for treating Annie badly in the past.…Two days later, at New Capital City Airport, Sophia came to pick up her father alone, leaving Jeremy and Bryan to wait at home.Sophia instinctively glared at Melinda when she saw her coming

Adam frowned when he noticed that Lilin was no longer with him. "Where did Lilin go?"Melinda snapped out of her senses and looked around, only to realize that their daughter was missing. "That can't be! Lilin was just behind me!"Having confirmed that Lilin was missing, Adam's expression turned stern, and he swiftly ordered his subordinates, "What are you standing around for? Start searching for Lilin!""Understood!" the subordinates replied in unison.Just as they were about to split up and search for her, a young girl's voice called out, "Don't bother! I'm right here!"Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a grown-up Lilin in sportswear. With her hands in her trouser pockets, she walked toward them at a leisurely pace while chewing her bubble gum.Melinda pulled her daughter hastily. "Where have you been? Please don't just wander off alone, especially since the airport is huge and you're not familiar with the place at all!""I went to the bathroom," Lilin

Sophia thought back to the past and realized that Adam never cared so much about her mother before. She got angrier the more she thought about it.Adam was so occupied with carrying Lilin that she did not notice Sophia's souring emotions. It was only when he wanted to bring Lilin to Sophia that he seemed to be aware of Sophia's presence. When he saw that Sophia was alone, he frowned and asked, "Did you come here alone, Sophia? Where's Zachary and Benjamin?"Sophia snapped back to her senses and explained, "I didn't ask Zachary to come because his disability makes it difficult for him. Benjamin is with him at home, too."Adam snorted. "Doesn't he have a wheelchair? Couldn't he have shown some effort in meeting his wife's parents from the airport? This is basic courtesy!"Sophia did not like hearing her father talk about Zachary that way. "Please don't say that about Zachary. You know better than anyone why he's in this condition now. He wouldn't have wanted this either."Adam felt

Lilin frowned. "Why should I? I'm not lying. The teachers at school have always taught us to tell the truth!"Melinda was taken aback by that response and did not know what else to say to Lilin.Sophia's face turned red with anger, and she wanted nothing more than to slap Lilin. She looked at her father irritatedly and said, "You heard that, didn't you? Aunt Melinda taught Lilin to target me!"Adam frowned, feeling like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He felt conflicted because Lilin had inadvertently hurt Sophia with the truth after trying to stand up for him."Lilin is still young, Sophia. Just treat what she said as a child's rambling. Melinda and I will teach her a lesson later, but not in a public place. Let's make our way to the hotel for now," he suggested.The whole situation disgusted Sophia, but she had little choice other than to comply with her father's request. She suppressed her anger and escorted them out of the airport. They then got into a seven-sea

"But Dad, I—""That's enough, Sophia." Adam interrupted. He did not want to dwell on the past with Sophia. "I just hope that you won't argue with Lilin anymore. You're my only children, and I genuinely hope to see you both get along with each other."Sophia reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay. I understand, Dad. I promise not to get angry at Lilin and avoid arguing with her in the future."Adam patted Sophia's shoulder. "That's my girl."Sophia discreetly suppressed her frustrations. She decided to deal with Melinda and Lilin after successfully inheriting Adam's estate.It took them about an hour to arrive at the hotel. When Adam checked into his suite, he told his subordinates to take care of their luggage while he brought Melinda and Lilin to meet Zachary. It had been a while since he met his son-in-law.Zachary remained calm when he saw Adam and nodded slightly to greet him. "Welcome, sir."Adam clasped his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "How polite of you. Though I

Bryan could not contain his excitement when he heard about the robot toy. He thus held Lilin's hand and followed her.The balcony door in the bedroom was open, allowing a cool breeze to waft in from outside. Sophia closed it shut as soon as she walked in. "No wonder you caught a cold! You left the balcony door wide open on this cloudy day! You must've caught a cold from the draft!"Zachary looked calmly toward the balcony, wondering if he had forgotten to close the balcony door when he came in after his physiotherapy.It was a good thing that Sophia did not suspect anything. After closing the balcony door, she turned to help him onto the bed. "I'll help you onto the bed and cover you with a blanket so you can keep warm. The doctor will be here soon."Zachary raised his hand and declined. "I'm fine. Don't bother calling a doctor. You should go and spend time with your father. It's been a long time since you've seen each other, so I'm sure you'll have a lot to catch up with him."So

Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile, but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the window. You need to be more careful."Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here because I know I won't get caught."Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do.""Are you angry?" Corinne glanced at him.Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you p

Corinne was only teasing him, but Zachary looked into her eyes and said, "Maybe I have."Corinne was taken aback and looked at him skeptically. "Is it that easy for you to fall in love with someone? You're such a jerk!"Zachary was speechless.Corinne seemed to be very stubborn.He lost his temper and pulled her into his arms. Though he could not move his legs, his upper body strength was not to be underestimated.Before Corinne could react, Zachary pulled her into his lap and clutched her waist tightly."You're very familiar to me, even though I don't remember you. I wouldn't describe what I feel now as love at first sight. It's more like friends at first sight. But, I will admit that you intrigue me."Corinne struggled as hard as she could but was unable to free herself from his embrace. She eventually decided not to waste her energy struggling. She was not so much worried about being in close contact with him as she was about putting too much pressure on his already infirm le

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
