Lilin walked up to Sophia with a frown and looked up at her sister, who was much taller. She stretched out her hand and said, "You wanted to give back the painting to me, right? Well, give it."Sophia did not notice anything peculiar with the painting, and she was not prepared to argue with Lilin in front of Adam. After all, she had just promised her father that she would get along well with her sister, so she happily returned the painting to Lilin.Lilin rolled her eyes at Sophia after taking back the painting. She then handed it to 'Benjamin' in front of everyone and said, "Here! Take better care of the painting I gave you next time!"Bryan's unease improved slightly after he took the painting back. He pouted and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lilin!"Lilin replied, "You're welcome!" She then turned to look at Adam and said, "See, Dad? Benjamin is a very sensible, polite little boy. Some people just don't know how to teach their children!"Adam had a slightly contorted expression, while

Lilin could imagine just how beautiful Benjamin's mother was to be able to give birth to someone like Benjamin. She did not ask any further questions after escorting Bryan to the door of the suite. "Go in and be with your dad. I won't tell anyone your secret."Bryan thanked her again and opened the door to go in. Meanwhile, Lilin stood alone in the corridor, deep in thought. She had a strong feeling that the boy bore a striking resemblance to someone she met when she was younger. Though she was initially unable to recall who it was, his description of being mistakenly taken triggered a memory from many years ago.During that year, her parents got into a heated argument, and her mother ran away from home with her in a fit of anger. However, they got into a car accident on the way. Her mother's life was in danger, and an urgent blood transfusion was needed. Her mother had a rare blood type, and the hospital's blood bank did not have enough supply of that particular blood type.A suita

"Your grandmother's painting? Where did you get it from?" asked Jeremy solemnly."I got it from Aunt Lilin. She told me the painting was drawn by her art teacher! Since the signature is the same as my grandmother's name, I wanted to save it for Mommy! Mommy lost her mother when she was little, so she must've thought that grandmother had passed away. She's gonna be so surprised when she sees this painting!" answered Bryan.Jeremy glanced at that painting. "If that's so, keep it safe so we can give it to her the next time we see her."Bryan nodded. "Okay!"Jeremy stroked his head gently. "And remember, we should avoid talking about your mommy while we're here, understand?"Bryan understood it clearly. As much as he was not happy about it, he still promised Jeremy anyway.…Corinne returned to the Holdens' estate.The kids ran up to her and threw their arms around her happily."Mommy! Mommy! Where have you been?"Corinne squatted and hugged them equally. "Mommy went to see a fri

Corinne was right. The person who opened the door was not Xante nor Aaron, but it was not a total stranger either.Sunny stood there in his pajamas, scratching his fluffy hair and looking like he had just woken up. He then yawned and said, "Oh, hi, Corinne! What brings you here so early? I thought today's the weekend."Corinne pushed Sunny away and walked into the house. She glanced around the living room and asked with a frown, "Where are Xante and Aaron?"Sunny followed her into the living room and answered honestly, "Xante is washing her face, and Aaron moved out two days ago. He's getting married soon, right? So he moved to his new house!"'Aaron moved out? Why, that little punk really kept me in the dark, huh?!' thought Corinne.She sat down on the couch unhappily and gestured to Sunny with her chin. "Get a glass of water for me!""Yes, Corinne," answered Sunny obediently.While Sunny was carrying the glass of water to her, Xante had finished changing and came out of the ro

After that, Xante heard Aaron's shriek from the other end of the phone, and the call ended suddenly.Xante was speechless. 'What the heck is that punk doing again?'She put away her phone and returned to the living room. "Boss, I just talked to Aaron over the phone. He says he'll be here right away."Corinne frowned with impatience."Say, Boss, have you had your breakfast? Should I make you some toast?" asked Xante.Corinne glanced at Xante. She was not hungry, but she knew Xante and Sunny had just woken up and had not had their breakfast yet, so she nodded.Xante sighed with relief and walked to the kitchen.Sunny sidled up to Xante when she came into the kitchen. "Master, why is Corinne so scary today? Did she really get so angry just because Aaron didn't tell her about his wedding?"Xante knocked his head. "That shows how much you know. You shouldn't gossip about your sister behind her back. Now go and make some toast for her!"Sunny rubbed his own head and shrugged. "You c

Aaron narrowed his eyes. "I don't think she's against us being together. More like she's angry at me."Annie thought about what he meant, and she followed Aaron down the hill.It was almost noon when they reached the apartment.Even though they drove as fast as they could, the bungee jumping spot was simply too far away from the city.When they entered the apartment, Xante and Sunny were chatting over coffee at the kitchen counter, but there was no sign of Corinne.Aaron walked in, with Annie's hand in his, and asked, "Where's the boss?"Xante, with the coffee cup in her hand, pointed to the couch with her chin.Aaron and Annie turned around and found Corinne lying on the couch with her eyes closed. She seemed to have fallen asleep."Did you two come from the moon or something? It took you long enough that Corinne even fell asleep!" said Sunny mockingly.Annie was a bit embarrassed. "Um, we… We went to a scenic spot outside of the city, so that's why we're late…"Aaron did no

Aaron shrugged and chuckled. "But I've changed!"Corinne gave him a sharp look and said, "Yeah, right. Do you expect me to believe that? You do know that a leopard never changes its spot, right?"After that, she turned to look at Annie and asked gently, "Is Aaron blackmailing you or something?"'Is this what the boss really thinks of me? That the only reason Annie is marrying me is because I've blackmailed her?' thought Aaron with his hand to his forehead.Annie's lips twitched with embarrassment. She then awkwardly said, "No, Corinne… I'm marrying him out of my own free will."Corinne frowned. "But why did you agree to marry him so quickly? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?"Annie blushed. "He... He said he was serious about me, and I want to try to believe him just this one time."Corinne was somewhat concerned and said, "You should be cautious. It is fine to date, and I wouldn't worry then. But when it comes to marriage, it's better to think it through carefu

Corinne did not really want to stop Aaron and Annie from getting married. She was just worried that Annie would be heartbroken by Aaron again.She and Aaron had grown up together, so she naturally had faith in him as a friend. As a husband? Aaron was definitely not husband material.She turned to the not-so-smart Annie and said very seriously, "Annie, since you've already decided that you are willing to trust Aaron again, I won't say anything more and wish you both the best. But If he does happen to let you down in the future, you must remember to come to me, and I'll deal with him for you."Annie looked at Corinne with tears in her eyes. She then stood up and crossed over Aaron to hug her. "Oh, Corinne. You're still so good to me, even though Uncle Jeremy isn't here anymore."Corinne was not used to this kind of close contact, so she took Annie's hand away with a dry chuckle and pushed her into Aaron's arms. After that, she sat a little further from the two of them."Now, why don

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
