If Zachary were to discover that everything was a lie she told just to keep him by her side, he would rather die than be with her or say another word to her. There would be zero chance to reconcile, and even the coldness he displayed toward her would completely cease to exist.Sophia took a deep breath and projected confidence. "What are you talking about, Zachary? Why would I lie to you? You're my husband, and we had a child before your car accident. I want to have another child because I don't want Benjamin to be so lonely. Don't you think he's keeping to himself more and more? Besides, I love kids, and I'd like to have a daughter too. Being a family of four will make things much livelier at home with Benjamin having another playmate. Don't you think that's a good thing, Zachary?"Sophia was skilled at conjuring up reasonable explanations, and Zachary was used to her ways. He let out a cold huff and said, "And did that necessitate the use of such a disgusting method?"Sophia's exp

Sophia was startled. "No! I... I was anxious because I wanted to comfort you..."Zachary looked at her coldly. "You've never wanted me to regain the ability to walk, do you?"Sophia reached out her hand to try and hold him. "Why would I think that way? You're my husband..."Zachary waved her hand away coldly and said, "Thanks to you, I'm very exhausted after what happened. Could you please be quiet for a while?"Sophia opened her mouth as if to say something, but her expression froze instantly. She had to calm herself down for a moment before closing her mouth and sitting quietly to one side.When Zachary said he was 'very exhausted after what happened', Sophia's mind immediately recalled what happened between him and the female nurse in that special examination room earlier. She became angrier with every passing thought, but she knew she had no right to lose her temper or be jealous since she arranged everything herself.The ride remained silent until the car stopped in front of

Adam pointed toward a room in disgust. "Hurry up and get that little brat out of there! He's been mum all morning, and he didn't respond when I asked him if he wanted to eat. He just stared at me and kept crying for his 'Daddy'. I couldn't stand it anymore and locked him in that room!"Sophia could not help but get angry at him. "How could you lock up a child like that?"Adam retorted, "What else can I do with him? He doesn't respond when I ask if he wants to eat or drink. He just cries and cries! He should be glad I didn't give him a good beating! He's not even my biological grandson!"Worried that Zachary might overhear her father's comments, Sophia approached him and signaled for him to avoid saying such things. She implored him, "Do you want Zachary to get mad at me? I'll give you a grandson soon, okay? Please just don't make things any more difficult for me!"The last thing that Adam wanted was to create unnecessary trouble, especially since he was so preoccupied with his issu

Sophia then said, "I'll make something that you and Benjamin both like to eat. I'll let you know once I'm done."Zachary did not respond. Sophia waited for a while before heading to the kitchen.Inside the room, Zachary waited until Sophia left. His cold gaze then turned warm as he looked at Benjamin's swollen eyes."Why did you cry so much? Didn't I tell you I'd be back soon?" Zachary's voice was firm, but his hand movements were gentle as he gently rubbed Benjamin's swollen eyes.Benjamin pouted and replied dejectedly, "Daddy, I... I don't like it here. I want to go back to Mommy Corinne... I..."Before the child could say anything further, Zachary placed a finger to his lips and urged him to be quiet. They needed to be cautious about discussing 'Mommy Corinne' here.Benjamin understood his father's gesture and sniffled before falling silent. Zachary lifted him in his arms and whispered, "I know you miss her very much, and so do I. But it won't be long until our family is reuni

Corinne sat in the car as Lucas brought her back to the Holdens. She seemed to be lost in thought as she leaned against the window.Lucas turned to her and asked, "Is Jeremy all right?""He's fine," Corinne replied wearily, "nothing serious happened."Lucas then asked, "When do you plan to set the plan in motion?""Soon." Corinne narrowed her eyes.Sunny escorted Xante back to his father's ward. Xante intended to leave the hospital with Corinne, but Sunny had been teasing her so much in the hospital hallway that she had no choice but to go back with him. It was nothing short of embarrassing.Maxwell was already resting on his hospital bed. Upon seeing the two of them return, he sat up and immediately greeted his future daughter-in-law.Xante had never been one to take advantage of other people, but since she returned with Sunny, she had no choice but to use Corinne as her subject of conversation. "I've heard that you're quite concerned about Corinne's well-being. Sunny mentioned

Corinne sneezed a few times during the journey home, and she had the feeling that someone was talking about her. She assumed that it might be her three kids, or perhaps it was Francine wondering why she had yet to return home. She did not dwell on it much and continued on her way as she entered the Holdens' compound.Francine was busy entertaining the kids with a robot kite she had purchased earlier. When she saw that Corinne had returned, she said to the little children, "Your mom's back! Go tell her to play with you! I'm exhausted!"Francine's complaint prompted the children to turn around. They immediately lost interest in their kite when they spotted Corinne walking in from the door. The three of them then ran up to her while calling out 'Mommy'.Corinne was instantly swarmed by her three children. To ensure that she could embrace them all evenly, she knelt and spread her arms before bringing them into her warm embrace. "I'm back!"Christine pouted. "Where were you, Mommy? You

After her adorable little outburst, Christine threw herself coquettishly into her mother's arms.Corinne lifted her and looked sternly at Bryan. "Is that how you should be talking to Christine?"Bryan curled his lips and replied, "But you dote on her all the time, Mommy..."Joey, being the older brother, patted Bryan's shoulder and said, "We're her older brothers, so we should be more tolerant of our little sister."Bryan was extremely unhappy to hear that. "You're my elder brother! She's my age since she and I were born on the same day! Why should I tolerate her?"Christine turned and pointed angrily at Bryan. "I don't want you as my brother anymore!"Bryan responded stubbornly. "Fine by me! I don't want a stubborn sister like you anyway!""Mommy, please tell him that I'm no longer his sister!""Mommy, please tell her that I'm no longer her brother!"Corinne was exhausted, and she felt as if her head was spinning when she was asked to 'confirm' her two children's unusual requ

Corinne was puzzled when she heard what Francine said. "Cheating?"Francine crossed her arms with a frown. She then leaned closer and whispered, "I'm not blind, you know. I can see that mark on your neck!"'Mark? What mark?' Corinne thought to herself in confusion. Francine took out her phone and snapped a picture of Corinne's neck. She then showed Corinne the picture.Corinne's face turned red. "Oh... That's..."Francine put her hands on his hips and said, "Don't try to deny it! I know exactly what this is! How could you and Sunny—""Stop making wild accusations!" Corinne raised her hand and knocked Francine's skull. "Don't you know we're related?"Francine rubbed her head before realizing that it could not possibly be Sunny. After all, Sunny was Corinne's brother."Jeremy has resurfaced, and you said you'd find a way to bring him home! This isn't the time for you to fall for someone else!" Francine protested.Corinne sighed and massaged her temples, "It's not what you think!

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
