Jason pulled Corinne next to him. It pained him to see a red handprint mark where Sophia had gripped her."Tsk, tsk. I know you two are excited to see each other again, but you shouldn't have hurt Corinne like that, Sophia!" said Jason with a smile.It was obvious Jason was trying to get into Corinne's good graces by protecting her. However, it just made her dislike him even more.Sophia remained upbeat. She glanced at how close they were standing to each other and said, "Sorry, Mister Jason. I was so happy to see Corinne that I didn't realize I was holding on to her so tightly. I'm really sorry for hurting your girlfriend."Jason was, of course, happy to have people think Corinne was his girlfriend."That's alright. I know you girls like to have body contact when talking to each other. I was hoping to treat you to dinner since we haven't seen each other for so long, but your husband seems like he's in a hurry to go to the next destination. Another day, perhaps," he said as if he

Jason sidled up to Corinne and said innocently, "But I did that for you. I mean, in all the three years he's been missing, he's with another woman all along! So you can't lose too, Corinne. Won't it be better if you have a boyfriend by your side too?"Corinne's lips twitched. She then said sarcastically, "You have my thanks, then."She then pulled open the car door and got in.Jason knew he was not welcome there, so he quickly strode over to the other side of the car and got in front there. He was afraid she would leave him there if he was not fast enough.The driver immediately started the engine and drove the car away after that.Jason saw Corinne typing on her phone. 'She must be texting someone.' He had always been very insightful, so after thinking about it, he finally understood what was going on.His eyes widened as he said, "Corinne, were you faking it just then? You've already met with Jeremy before this, haven't you?"Corinne was so focused on her phone that she did no

Sophia's expression stiffened as Zachary started asking about Corinne. "She... Umm… She was part of your former group of friends as well. That man, Jason, is dating her! It shouldn't be surprising that she looks familiar!" she said, observing his expression.Zachary nodded somewhat skeptically. "Are you sure?"His reaction made Sophia worry that he might have regained certain parts of his memory, but it also allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief. For the moment, at least, she believed he had not remembered anything yet. "Well, we're out to enjoy ourselves today, so let's not dwell on that anymore. Have some fruit, Zachary! I brought them for you and Benjamin. Our next stop is a very famous lake, and the scenery there has a very rustic feel!"Zachary took the fruit that Sophia handed him and placed it on the small table inside the car. Rather than eating some, he stabbed a fork into an apple slice and handed it to Benjamin. "Eat some fruit."Benjamin was in a daze. He was on cloud

Jason did not persuade Corinne any further after hearing her protest. He shrugged, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her. "Sigh! You always give me a hard time."After Corinne flipped through the menu and ordered what she wanted to eat, she handed the menu to him and said, "Quit your nonsense and decide what to order! Let's wrap this up as soon as possible. I'll be busy later."Jason took the menu and sighed again. He ordered some extra dishes before handing the menu to the wait staff. "Why do you have to be so careful around me when all we're doing is having a meal? Even my suggestion of dining in a private room seemed to have rubbed you the wrong way. It's not like I'm asking you to come with me to a hotel room."Corinne, who was busy typing a message on her cellphone, paused for a moment and glanced at him. "Other people could easily get the wrong idea if they spot a man and a woman having a meal in a private room. Since we're here to talk business, we could save each other th

Corinne picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a call from the kindergarten principal. Concerned, she answered promptly, "Hello. Is something the matter?"The principal's voice sounded rather anxious. "Could you please come to the kindergarten right now, ma'am? Joey beat up another boy, and their parents insist on meeting you!""What?!" Corinne stood up abruptly. It was hard for her to believe that the well-behaved Joey would resort to violence. After a moment, she composed herself and said, "I'll be there right away!"After ending the call, Corinne left hastily without explaining anything to Jason."Where are you going, Corinne? Did something happen?" Jason got up to follow her after sensing that something was amiss. However, the wait staff stopped him and asked him to foot the bill. By the time he left, Corinne was nowhere to be seen.Corinne drove to the kindergarten within 15 minutes. She was incredibly worried about Joey as he had always been an obedient, mature, sensi

Corinne came in and looked at Matt, who was shielded by his parents. Matt was in the same class as Joey, and Corinne had met him before while fetching Joey from class. Though they were of the same age, Matt was taller than Joey and appeared to be much stronger. It did not make sense for Joey to beat Matt up, but it was clear that both children were visibly injured.Corinne turned to Matt's parents and said, "I've just arrived, and I don't know the full details of the situation yet. Give me a moment to talk to my son."She then walked toward Joey who stood alone in the corner. Matt's parents were not happy, and they exchanged disapproving glances at each other while directing their concerns to the principal.Matt's father voiced his discontent. "What kind of attitude is that? Her son bullied our son, but rather than getting her son to apologize, she wanted to talk to him instead. What's the point of that? Her son isn't injured!""Exactly!" Matt's mother said in support. "Don't you i

"That's right," Matt's mother doubled down. "Children like that can't be allowed to stay in the kindergarten. This time, it's our child. It'll be someone else's child next time!"The principal's expression changed abruptly when he heard the parents' intention to gather up the other parents for a mass withdrawal of students from the kindergarten. He hurriedly said to Corinne, "Please apologize to them, ma'am! We cannot let this single incident have such a huge effect on our kindergarten!"Corinne stood up and dusted her clothes before approaching him. After apologizing to the principal, she turned her gaze to the parents and said calmly, "Though I still have no clue as to what happened, that doesn't excuse the fact that my son had admitted to hitting your son. I apologize on his behalf. I will take your son to the hospital for a full-body check-up, and I will cover all the medical expenses incurred."Matt's father refused to let the matter go just yet. "Do you think your apology is g

Matt's mother supported her husband. "Yes!"Corinne smirked and turned to the principal. "We should review the surveillance footage before coming to a decision. May I know where I can access that footage?"The principal glanced embarrassedly at Corinne, and then at Matt's parents. "I..."Matt's father snorted. "Just show us the surveillance footage, then! I'm appalled at her claims that our children were fighting when her boy was completely unharmed. Let's see if she'll come up with some other excuse after watching the footage."Seeing as both sides had agreed to check the surveillance footage, he escorted them to the surveillance room together.Matt had been crying anxiously in his mother's arms, and he timidly reached out to tug at the hem of his father's clothes when he heard that his father was going to see the surveillance recordings.Thinking that Matt was still traumatized by what happened, the man patted his son's head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Matt. We'll get

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
