Benjamin nodded. He knew Corinne had her problems, so he decided he would be understanding.Corinne truly wished Benjamin could stay by her side, but the situation did not allow it. She could not bear to let Benjamin just watch them play outside while he was out of the loop, so she said to Zachary, "Hey, it's too noisy around here, and I can't hear you clearly. Let's stop for now. Bye!"Their video call ended.'How dare she hang up just like that? She hasn't even clarified whether or not she's with Jason!' thought Zachary while staring at the phone screen.Benjamin tugged at his father's clothes with his tiny cute hand and whispered, "Daddy, I think Sophia is back!"Zachary snapped back to the present, got back to the wheelchair, and cleared all the records from his phone.When Sophia pushed the door open, she only saw Zachary picking out loungewear for Benjamin from the wardrobe. Troubled by the travel restrictions, she remained oblivious to any peculiar behavior from her husban

Upon hearing Zachary's words, Sophia reconsidered. "Um... Alright. I'll have my dad arrange for you and Benjamin to go back to Molomia first. I'll go back too once everything is sorted out here."Sophia would not have let Zachary and Benjamin go back to Molomia first if she were not so worried about Corinne stealing them. Sophia believed it was best for her to keep them in her sights, but she had to deal with the tax investigation then and would not have the time to look after them.'Well, I suppose it should be fine for Zachary and Benjamin to head back to Molomia for now. As long as Dad's people are keeping an eye on them, things should go smoothly once they're there,' thought Sophia.Zachary nodded. "So, now that's settled, just go and rest. I'll wait here for the room service to come."Sophia felt grateful and pleasantly surprised by the unexpected care he was showing her. "Thanks, Zachary. It means a lot to me to have you here. I'll definitely miss you and Benjamin when you go

As soon as Corinne and the kids entered the house, Francine hurried over. "Corinne, why did you come back so late? I was so worried!"Francine then bent down and gave each of the kids a kiss. "Do you three little troublemakers have any idea how worried I was? Did you convince your mommy to take you out again? She worked so hard all day long. Can't you cut her some slack?""No, Aunt Francine! It was Mommy's idea to take us to the amusement park!" said Christine."That's right. Mommy decided to reward us!" Bryan added.Christine rolled her eyes at Bryan. "Mommy is rewarding Joey. We're just riding on his coattail."Bryan shot back with a glare. "I know! Mind your own business!"Christine scoffed and ignored him.Francine had long grown accustomed to the twins' bickering, so it did not surprise her. Instead, she turned her curious gaze to Joey, reaching out to rub his round little face."Did you get a reward from your mommy today? Tell me what happened. Did you get first place in

Corinne smiled and pinched Francine's cheek. "Okay, I get it. If anything comes up next time, I'll make sure to share the load with you."'She's just teasing me again. How I wish Jeremy would come back now. Only he can pamper my sister-in-law with all his love and attention. He'll surely help her unload some of the responsibilities she shouldn't be shouldering alone,' thought Francine.She understood and sympathized with Corinne. After all, Corinne's greatest strength was her independence and resilience, but it was also her biggest flaw."I wonder what Jeremy is doing now?" said Francine with a worried sigh.Corinne narrowed her eyes. "It's late. He's probably asleep."Francine scoffed. "How can he sleep knowing that you've been shouldering everything alone while he gets to live a good life?""Okay, you should go to bed. I need to get these three washed up and put to bed. Oh, and try not to disturb Grandpa and Grandma."Francine nodded and headed upstairs, but her mind was occu

It was only dawn when loud knocks coupled with the sound of insistent doorbell ringing could be heard coming from a typical residential neighborhood in New Capital City. Melinda and Lilin instantly woke up.Lilin groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Who is it? Why would anyone knock on our door so early in the morning?"Melinda had already gotten out of bed and was looking for something to wear. "Lilin, go back to sleep. I'll see who it is."Although Lilin had just woken up and her mind was still a bit fuzzy, she was still alert. She got out of bed and grabbed her mother, who was about to go to the door."Mom, this isn't our home, and your friend hasn't lived in this house for a while! Who else will show up at someone else's door this early in the morning? We need to be cautious; it could be someone with bad intentions!"Melinda glanced at the clock on the wall and noted that it was only four o'clock in the morning. Being sought out at this hour was indeed very unusual.Lilin al

Lilin nodded honestly. "Miss Emily, any normal person would be scared out of their wits when you knocked on our door at this time. I almost entertained the thought that you teleported from Molomia."Emily smiled apologetically and lowered herself to embrace Lilin. "I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to startle you. Here's the thing. When I saw the portrait your mom sent me today, it looked exactly like my daughter. I hurriedly bought a plane ticket and flew over to find you guys."Lilin was stunned as she began to connect the dots. 'Miss Corinne is probably Miss Emily's daughter who she thought was dead! No wonder Dad's people didn't do anything to stop her. They recognized her to be Mom's best friend.'Melinda looked at her best friend and sighed. She carried Emily's suitcase in and slowly closed the door."Emily, please have a seat. Let me get you a cup of warm water," said Melinda.Emily stood up and shook her head. "Don't bother with the water, Melinda. Take me to Corinne now.

'My sweet baby girl… How on earth has she managed to navigate all these years on her own?' thought Emily as a tinge of bitterness welled up in her heart. Even her breath seemed to carry a subtle ache.Melinda handed a cup of warm water to her. "Alright, you must be tired after rushing over here overnight. Take a sip, and catch your breath. I'll take you over to see Corinne as soon as the day breaks."Emily snapped out of her thoughts and accepted the cup of warm water. She took a sip and composed herself."By the way, how's everything with you and Brian? Still in a bit of a spat?" Emily asked asked.After she had calmed down, she had the spare attention to concern herself with Melida's relationship.A troubled expression crossed Melinda's face at the mention of her foolish husband. "I don't want to talk about him."Melinda had a rough night's sleep. Coupled with the fact that Emily woke her up early, she looked slightly sullen as she sat beside her daughter.Emily had witnessed

Pamela looked at Corinne kindly. "It's okay, my dear. I just wanted to see you if you're doing okay. You must be tired after taking the kids to the amusement park yesterday."Corinne shook her head. "No, they were quite well-behaved. Grandma, please come in and have a seat."Pamela peeked inside, her eyes resting on the three kids peacefully asleep on the bed.She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't wish to disturb them. Let them sleep a little longer. Corinne, there's actually something I'd like to ask you to do on my behalf."Corinne raised an eyebrow curiously. "What is it, Grandma?""It'll be Annie's wedding in a couple of days," replied Pamela sincerely. "They've sent us the invitation, but considering your grandpa's and my own health, it's not convenient for us to attend. Could you take the trouble and bring the wedding gift on our behalf? Annie has always been Jeremy's most cherished niece. I'm sorry to trouble you, but since he's not here…"'Oh, so that's what it

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
