Emily and Melinda exchanged glances at Sherlyn's sudden change in attitude before turning to look back at her."Do come in. It's really hot out there," said Sherlyn smilingly.Emily nodded. "When will your father be back?""Soon, actually. Take a seat! I'll go make you all some coffee while you wait for him."Emily, Melinda, and Lilin walked into the mansion. They instinctively made a beeline to the living room, but Sherlyn stopped them."I'm sorry, but our sofa is damaged, so you can't sit there. Might I trouble you all to follow me to the guest room upstairs instead? It's much cooler there too," said Sherlyn with a smile.Since she had said that, there was no reason for Emily and Melinda to turn her down. Thus, they followed her upstairs.Lilin followed behind them while observing her surroundings vigilantly. Something was off about the whole thing.Sherlyn brought the guests to the attic, which used to be Corinne's old room."You three just sit here for a while. I'll go get

Back then, Marvin agreed to take in Luna and even promised he would take good care of her. Even though the vintage necklace was not extravagantly expensive, it was still worth at least a few hundred thousand dollars. In other words, it was more than enough to pay for Luna's room and board. He should not have made her stay in an attic!'That b*stard! He really has crossed the line this time,' thought Emily angrily. She was going to interrogate the hell out of him when he came back.Lilin suddenly pulled Melinda's hand. "Mommy, I need to pee."Melinda looked around the small room. There was no ensuite bathroom, so she led her out of the room.It was then she realized the door was locked from the outside.'What's the meaning of this?' Melinda turned to Emily anxiously. "Emily, we're locked inside!"Emily snapped out of her thoughts, put down the notebook, and turned the door handle. Her face darkened when she realized they were indeed locked inside."Mommy, Miss Emily, what's going

Sherlyn then strode back to the kitchen.Marvyn put down his fishing equipment and sat on the sofa lazily, waiting for his daughter to serve him the pork roast.After some time, Sherlyn brought out the hot pork roast served with some vegetables on the side. "Here, Dad. Try this. How's the taste? I learned to cook this specially for you!"Marvin was starving so he immediately dug into the pork roast. 'Hey, this isn't half bad!' he thought after taking a bite.His mood visibly became better after eating some good food. "Not bad, not bad at all. You certainly have a talent for cooking. You should learn more from your mother."Sherlyn was happy at being praised by her father, but her face fell when he told her to learn more about cooking."Dad, I can cook for you from time to time, but I can't cook every day. That would just wreak havoc on my skin, and that's going to ruin any chances I have of getting a movie role."Marvin became angry again at the mention of movie roles. "You stil

"Yes, that's right! I thought Sherlyn invited my two friends in," said Lilliana, playing along with Sherlyn.Marvin believed what they said. However, it just made him hate his wife even more. "Is bridge all you can think about all day? From now on, you're to stay at home! I don't have enough money for you to throw around on your bridge game!""Marvin, it's not like I lose every day… I actually won quite a bit of money today. Plus, I'll be bored out of my mind if I stay at home the whole day…"Marvin scoffed. "It's either you and Sherlyn stay at home, or both of you go get a real job! All the money I have won't be enough for you two if you keep spending like how you're spending!""What right do you have to talk to me like that? You don't have a job either. All you do is fish all day…" muttered Lilliana in a small voice.Even so, Marvin still heard what she said. He glared daggers at her and said, "What did you just say? I dare you to say it louder!"Seeing that her parents were ab

'They're in the attic?' Lilliana instinctively looked up at the ceiling. "Why did you let them in? Aren't you afraid your father will find out?"Sherlyn dragged her mother up the stairs by the arm while saying, "That's why we have to get rid of them before Dad comes back. We have to make sure they'll never dare come here again! Hurry up, Mom!"…Sherlyn opened the attic door with the key.Emily, Melinda, and Lilin were still in there. They had been trying to figure out how to escape from there; they kept pounding the door when it suddenly opened.Sherlyn—with her arms crossed—walked in with Lilliana. She gestured with her chin and Emily and Melinda. "Mom, these are the women I told you about. I have no idea which one is his old flame, though."Lilliana looked at the two women with full-blown hostility. She was threatened by their beauty. She had always thought she looked for her age, but when she saw the two women, her confidence in her looks immediately crumbled.'I definitely

Lilliana scoffed. "I've met many women like you over the years. You're trying to steal my position because you think he's rich. Well, let me tell you something! You should stop dreaming because I'm no pushover! There's a reason I'm able to hold on to my position for as long as I do."It was only then Emily understood why Sherlyn had them locked up in the attic. She and her mother thought they were there to steal Marvin!Even though she knew she did not have good taste in men, Marvin was where she drew the line."Missus Carew, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Your husband and I aren't involved romantically. At most, we're just old classmates. I came to find him today to ask him something that happened in the past, so you don't need to worry about anything."Lilliana was not happy that Emily could tell she was worrying. She thought she had lost face. "I'm not worried! You must be blind if you think I'm worried!"Emily smiled. "If you're not worried, why did you lock us up in

"You swear? Huh! Don't make me laugh. I'll never believe you even if you swear. If what you say is true, you won't even be here right now! And Corinne has long left this place. You should go to the Holdens if you want to find her! Why would you show up looking dressed up to the nines if you're not here to rekindle your relationship with my husband?!" screeched Lilliana.Emily felt aggrieved. She did not think she looked like she was dressed up that nicely. She had rushed over to New Capital City from Molomia and did not even have the time to wash her face or brush her hair. Plus, she was wearing her old clothes.She knew it would be useless to reason with Lilliana since she was too suspicious. "Missus Carew, it's fine if you don't want me to meet your husband, but there are just some things I need to ask him directly. So why don't you give me his number, and I'll ask him over the phone? I'll leave after that."Lilliana crossed her arms. "You must think I'm stupid enough to give you

It would not do them any good if Lilin caused them more trouble.Sherlyn became even haughtier when she saw Lilin was stopped by Melinda."Tsk, tsk! I thought you wanted to hit me? Or are you just good at making empty threats?"Lilin was seething by then. She pushed away Melinda to get to Sherlyn."Lilin, calm down!" Melinda called out to her. "We shouldn't cause more trouble for Miss Emily!"Alas, Lilin was not going to cool off after being antagonized. "But Mommy, she's the—""Listen to me, Lilin!"Sherlyn cackled. She was happy to be venting out the anger she received from Marvin. She continued to mock them, and to prevent them from running out, she threatened them with the knife in her hand.Lilliana joined in and mocked Emily, Melinda, and Lilin as well. However, at that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. They could even hear it in the attic as the sound was very jarring.Lilliana and Sherlyn jumped up in fright and exchanged panic glances.Who could it be? Marvin could

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
