The couple was a little speechless after hearing Corinne's retort and could only exchange glances with each other. The man, however, appeared unwilling to come to terms with the truth. He clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth, saying, "Whatever the reasons were, your son beat up my son. He needs to apologize and take responsibility for that. If he doesn't do so, I'll make sure he'll be expelled from this kindergarten, and I swear I'll make it difficult for you to survive here in the city."The distressed mother caressed Matt's bruised nose and swollen eyes, adding, "That's right! My son has never experienced this sort of injustice. And besides, he was just being a little mischievous when he teased his female classmate. What gives you your son the right to be nosy?"The principal was caught in a dilemma and felt that the couple was being unreasonable. However, he was hesitant to offend them because they came from a rather influential and affluent background. Corinne, on the other han

Corinne then bent down to lift Christine in her arms. "Have you heard any rumors about Joey in kindergarten recently?"Christine was more observant than Bryan and often noticed many overlooked details. Curious at her mother's question, Christine asked, "How did you know about that?"Corinne's guess was spot on. When she was watching the surveillance, she remembered Matt calling Joey a b*stard, as well as claiming that Joey was adopted. Matt also said that the entire kindergarten knew about it, which Corinne interpreted to mean that someone was spreading malicious rumors.Meanwhile, Bryan and Christine were still unaware of Joey's recent altercation.Corinne then asked, "I heard some nasty stuff being said about Joey, so I'd like to know if you heard the same thing that I heard. Tell me everything, Christine."Christine glanced at Bryan, and the two of them were seemingly hesitant whether to disclose what they knew.Corinne noticed Christine's reluctance and frowned. "Are you two

Corinne interrupted Christine and warned, "Stop that nonsense!"Christine pouted. She genuinely felt that Joey was a little distant from them.Corinne looked out the window and said, "Joey's hiding in the slide over there. Could you bring him here, Bryan? Tell him that we're going to the amusement park.""Okay!" Bryan immediately did as Corinne told him. The prospect of going to the amusement park excited him.Corinne followed slowly while carrying Christine in her arms. She could only continue to wonder where the rumors in the kindergarten originated from.Bryan climbed into the little mushroom hut and found Joey inside. "Joey! Mommy came to pick us up! She says she'll take us to the amusement park! Let's go!"Joey glanced at Bryan and shook his head sullenly. "No thanks. You guys go ahead."Bryan frowned in frustration. "But you love the merry-go-round! Don't you want to come with us? Let's play together!"Joey curled up and buried his head in his knees. "No. I don't want to

Joey was a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at Corinne. "I..."Corinne reached out to pat his head. "Will it be the amusement park? Or would you prefer to go home? You can choose somewhere else if you want. I'm taking the rest of the day off, so we'll just spend our afternoon having fun."Joey blinked and glanced at Corinne in disbelief. "But Mommy, I… I got into trouble. Aren't you angry with me?"Corinne raised an eyebrow. "What sort of trouble did you get into?"Joey answered in confusion, "I... I bullied someone...""It's not bullying if you're defending someone else." Corinne smiled. "I saw what happened from the surveillance footage, and you did a good job when you stood up bravely for your classmate! That is the right thing to do."Joey could hardly believe the praise that he was receiving, and he stared at Corinne uneasily. "Mommy... Are you sure I didn't do anything wrong?"Corinne cupped his little face in her hands and kissed his forehead. "I'm sure. Wh

Corinne smiled. "Then the amusement park, it is! We'll enjoy ourselves there until the evening and watch some fireworks after that. Does that sound good?""Yeah!" the kids said in unison. Christine and Bryan set aside their differences for the moment and focused solely on going to the amusement park.Not wanting his hunger to ruin their excitement, Joey rubbed his tummy to try and cover his rumbling stomach.However, Corinne's sharp ear picked up on it. "Are you hungry, Joey? How about we go get some food first?"Joey blushed and smiled. He felt a little embarrassed but happy at the same time.Bryan and Christine were riding on his hunger, too."Mommy, Mommy! We're hungry too! I want some pizza!""I want a cheeseburger!"Corinne ignored them and asked Joey, "What would you like to eat, Joey? You did a good deed today, and you deserve today's rewards. I'll let you decide!"The lingering sense of uneasiness and inferiority dissipated from Joey's expression, and he said sprightly

Luckily for Sophia, she grabbed the shoe cabinet near the door and managed to stabilize herself. She sighed in relief and looked down, only to find she had just stepped on a cellphone fragment. That was just one of many cell phones lying on the ground, and they were all Adam's.'What happened here? Why did he smash all his phones?' Sophia had a bad feeling, and she glanced with a frown at the sofa in the center of the living room. There, she saw her father sitting sullenly while smoking a cigarette.Sophia walked over and asked, "What happened, Dad? Why did you smash your phones?"Adam raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter. "Why are you calling me 'Dad'? Didn't you say you don't want me to interfere with your life? You should mind your own business too, then!"Sophia knew her father was simply saying that as he was angry. She sighed and sat next to her, saying, "Shouldn't we move on from what happened? You're still my father, and I'm still your daughter! I just didn't want yo

Adam frowned. "Whether or not I agree to that is beside the point. You are restricted from leaving the country as well! You'll have to stay here and cooperate with the investigation too!"Sophia was overwhelmed with surprise as she asked, "What?! Why am I being put on a travel ban too? What does it have to do with me?"Adam took a big puff of his cigarette and said, "Have you forgotten what happened three years ago? You returned to the country for Jeremy's sake and managed several of our companies here. Some of the tax discrepancies occurred during your management. You're also required to cooperate with the investigation!"Sophia frowned, wondering how everything turned out this way. If she was restricted from leaving the country, then her plans to bring Zachary back to Molomia had hit a wall. It would give Corinne ample time to try and take Jeremy from her again!The bad feeling that Sophia had intensified even more, and she started to become suspicious of the unexpected seizures.

Zachary did not answer. He could contact Corinne, but he did not want to do so because he was still in a bad mood. He had already read the message Corinne sent him and decided not to reply because she asked him where they were going instead of explaining why she was with Jason.Corinne could easily have explained the situation and clarified the matter to avoid any misunderstanding, but perhaps she just could not care less as to whether or not there was a misunderstanding in the first place. Simply thinking about that made him more frustrated.He had been trapped by Sophia for more than three years, and heaven knew how many men had approached Corinne to try and win her heart. His temper was fast flaring up when those thoughts flooded his mind.At that point, the sensible Benjamin handed his phone over and said, "Just ask her already! You're obviously concerned about the whole thing, so why don't you just ask her about it? I wouldn't want you to worry about it all night and lose sleep

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
