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

Melinda hugged and patted Emily's back.Emily was a wreck of emotions at the moment."There are some things in life we just can't control… There, there, Emily. I think Corinne is a very understanding child, and she'll definitely understand why you did what you had to do. You shouldn't have run away, you know…"Emily inhaled sharply and shook her head. "No, I really didn't know how to face her… She was so little when I gave her to Marvin, so she wouldn't understand why. I owe her too much. It was my fault that she had to be all alone…"Melinda had a daughter too, so she could understand how Emily felt. She continued to gently pat her back while saying, "It's all in the past now. She turned out really well in the end. She's strong, decisive, independent, talented… You should be happy for her."Emily straightened herself up and wiped away her tears. "I am proud of her, but I can't make up for what I've done to her. She's strong because she had no choice but to be strong. She could've

Sherlyn then looked at Melinda and Lilin. 'This woman is pretty too, and she even brought a kid! Sh*t! Don't tell me the kid is Dad's illegitimate daughter! Corinne was already bad enough, and now we have to deal with this, too?'Sherlyn frowned in alarm. "Who are you guys? And what business do you have with my dad?""I'm an old friend of your father, and I've come to ask him something," answered Emily.'An old friend?' Sherlyn knew things were not as simple as they seemed, so she did not want to cooperate with them."My dad is out fishing. He won't be back for quite some time. You should come another day if you want to talk to him."Emily was not going to give up that easily since she was already there. "He can't possibly be out fishing the whole day. We're not in a hurry, and we don't mind waiting for him inside."Sherlyn's frown deepened. 'So she's not going to let up that easily, huh?'"I told you that my dad isn't home, and I don't know any of you. What if you rob me or som

It finally dawned on Lilliana just how serious the situation was when she heard what Sherlyn said."Sherlyn, I'm going home right now. Make sure your father doesn't meet those women before then, okay?"Sherlyn nodded. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do."After hanging up on her mother, Sherlyn called her father.Marvin was out fishing, and he finally got a catch when his ringing phone scared the fish away."Why are you calling me?" he said irritatedly into the phone. "You scared all the fish away!"Sherlyn had been depending on Marvin ever since she could not get a job. He did not dote on her like he used to, so she was naturally humble toward him."Dad, I'm just calling to ask when you'll be back."Marvin scoffed and said, "I was going to stay out here for some time, but you ruined the mood for me, so I'm going home now! Tell your mother I expect a pork roast to be waiting on the table for me when I get home!"Sherlyn immediately started panicking when she heard Marvin woul

'What right does a country bumpkin like her have to be a Missus Holden? Mister Jeremy must be blind to have fallen in love with a hick like her!' grumbled Sherlyn internally."Dad, you know very well Corinne has been using the Holden family to create one obstacle after another for me! How could you say that I'm not trying hard enough? I'd still be the most popular actress now if it weren't for her! I'd be making tons of money! You should be blaming her instead of me! I'm the victim here!"Marvin did not spare her any feelings. "You're the victim, you say? How are you the victim? I wouldn't have crossed the Holden family if you weren't so delusional to think you were the one whom Mister Jeremy wanted to marry!""But Dad, I wasn't delusional! It was true I was the one he wanted to marry. He gave me all those engagement gifts! And I would have become a Missus Holden if that b*tch Corinne didn't seduce him away from me out of jealousy! You should be scolding her!"Marvin no longer had

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
