Corinne smirked. "If you care about your father so much, why are you here instead of the hospital looking after him?"Sunny crossed his arms. "Well, it's lunchtime, isn't it? Lucas is looking after him right now, so I came out to have lunch with Xante. By the way, Corinne, can you come with me to the hospital to visit Dad later?""No. He's your father, not mine," replied Corinne coldly.Sunny pouted. "Corinne, you should cut him so slack at his age. Can't you find some kindness in your heart to make him happy?"Corinne laughed. "I'd rather use my kindness on strays. Why should I care about a man who has never suffered a day in his life?"Sunny was speechless.After Annie finished chewing her food, she quickly interjected, "Don't even think about tricking Corinne to go to the hospital with you. Didn't you hear she's going to the bridal shop to pick out my wedding dress with me later?"Sunny gave her a side-eye. He could not be bothered to argue with her as he was worrying about w

Annie blushed and said, "What are you doing? Miss Xante and Corinne are looking at us. Let me go now. Behave yourself!"Aaron laughed. "It's okay. They're not outsiders. Have you picked out a wedding dress? Can I see you wearing it?"Annie tried to remove his hands from her. "Stop it right now…"Xante glanced sideways at Aaron. She was used to his antics. Thus, she turned to talk to Corinne.Aaron became even more shameless. "See. Xante knows not to be a third-wheel."Annie was beyond mad. "If I had known you were going to be like this, I wouldn't have let you come!"…Corinne ignored the young couple's lovey-dovey act. Instead, she discussed with Xante about recent happenings in Adam's company. After a while, her phone rang.She took out her phone and saw the call was from an unknown number. She would not typically answer a call from an unknown number, but at that moment, she was worried Jeremy had used someone else's number to call her. Thus, she answered the call.What she

Xante grew visibly alarmed. "Adam's younger daughter wants to see you? We must tread carefully, Boss. It's best if you don't go."As alarmed as she was about the whole thing, Corinne had a strong gut feeling that Melinda and Lilin were not the same as Adam and Sophia."Don't worry. I'll be careful," she said.Xante still wanted to advise her against going, but Sunny suddenly came over with a trailing wedding dress. "Xante! Put this one on. I think you'll look good in this. You can wear it for our wedding."Xante was flabbergasted.Corinne laughed, poked Xante, and said teasingly, "Go on. Give it a try since he took the trouble of choosing it for you."Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "Boss, stop kidding around."Corinne spread out her hands. "I'm not kidding. Sunny's got a good eye. This wedding dress really suits you!"Xante said nothing. She simply blushed with embarrassment.Sunny became even bolder after Corinne praised him. "Did you hear that, Xante? Even Corinne s

Sunny frowned and said innocently, "How am I annoying? I gave you two some time to talk, didn't I? Xante, you should jump to my defense when someone calls me annoying. I am your future husband."Xante took a deep breath and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "Okay, we had our lunch and you had your fun, so let's take you back to the hospital."Sunny gave her a silly smile. "Xante, are you going to come up with me to see my dad, too?""I already saw him yesterday, so today's a pass," replied Xante coldly before she got into the car.Sunny quickly got into the front seat and buckled his seat belt."Yesterday was yesterday; today is today. It's best to visit him every day since he's going to be your father-in-law one day!"Xante stepped on the gas pedal and said gruffly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't stop, I'm going to throw you out of the car!"Sunny crossed his arms and leaned back on his seat. "I'm not talking nonsense! You're my future wife, so that makes my

Sunny immediately turned serious. "No, Xante. I wouldn't keep hanging around you if I were a jerk. I mean, you were nothing but cold to me, yet I shamelessly chased after you. Do you really think it's because I'm without shame? If I could choose who to have feelings for, I would've chosen a woman who's as passionate about me as I'm passionate about her!"Xante kept her eyes on the road and said nothing."And I genuinely don't know about what my dad did in the past. As his son, I'm not going to call him a jerk when I'm with you. It's just that I can't leave him alone. You don't have to go with me if you don't want to. Just forget I said anything," added Sunny.Still, Xante said nothing. She just turned the steering wheel to maneuver that car off the overhead bridge.Seeing that they were not going in the right way, Sunny frowned and asked, "Xante, why are we taking this road? This isn't the way to the hospital."He instinctively clutched his seatbelt tightly, fearing that Xante was

Lilin tilted her head. "I think Miss Corinne is a very resilient woman, so she'll be fine with the news. What I'm worried about is that she and Miss Emily may end up disappointed if it turns out she's not her long-lost daughter."Melinda took a sip of her coffee and stayed silent. She was almost a hundred percent sure that Corinne was Emily's long-lost daughter, Luna. Not only did Corinne look like Emily when she was little, but they shared the same behavior and air.Speaking of which, Corinne's brows and eyes looked more like Maxwell's, but the expressions she made with them were more like Emily's when she was little. It could not be possible that Corinne could share so many similarities with Maxwell and Emily and not be their daughter.Corinne was definitely Luna, and all Melinda had to think about was how to break the news. After all, it was not every day she had to reveal news like this to someone. She was still trying to form the sentences in her head when she saw Corinne walki

Corinne sipped her iced latte. "Then can you explain why you've looked into my past?""Umm… The reason we asked you out today is so we can introduce someone to you."Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Who?"Melinda turned around to ask Emily to come over to explain herself, but her table was empty.'Where is she?' wondered Melinda.Lilin was confused as well. "Mommy, where's Miss Emily?"Melinda looked around the coffee house, but Emily was nowhere in sight.Corinne found their behavior perplexing, so she cleared her throat and put down her iced latte. "Missus Addison, just who did you want me to meet?"Melinda snapped out of her shock and said embarrassedly, "Uh… She's someone from your past, but she's not free today. How about I introduce you to her next time?"'Someone from my past? Why would I need them to introduce someone from my past to me?' wondered Corinne with a frown. 'Something's fishy about them.'After a brief silence, Corinne asked again, "Is there anything else you w

Corinne stared at Melinda for a long time before saying, "If what you said is true, then I'm sorry for misunderstanding you."Melinda smiled ruefully. "Corinne, it's understandable for you to be guarded against us. I'd just like to remind you that Sophia has gone mad. She'll do anything to keep Zachary by her side, and she's good at playing the victim to get Adam to help her. You must be very careful."Corinne believed that Melinda meant well, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I'll be very careful. And if there's nothing else, I'll be going back to work now."She raised her wrist to look at the time.Since she had said what she needed, Melinda did not feel good about keeping her. She swept her eyes around the coffee house once more, but there was no Emily still.Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay. I won't keep you, then. Let's meet up again when you're free, and I'll bring the friend I've mentioned along."Corinne narrowed her eyes. She was somewhat curious bu

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
