'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

Lilliana was scared witless. She only snapped back to the present when she heard Melinda telling her to call an ambulance.'Marvin might be downstairs, and that woman is bleeding a lot. Marvin's definitely going to kick me out of the house if he knew I hurt that woman!' thought Lilliana.At this rate, she thought she might as well be the bad guy until the end.She brandished the knife in front of her. "Get back! None of you are getting out of this room today!"Lilliana looked panic-stricken, nonetheless. She knew excessive blood loss would lead to death, but Emily looked fine to her. She would wait until Sherlyn had lured Marvin out before taking Emily to her father's clinic to treat the wound. She was not stupid enough to have Emily's blood on her hand.Just when she was waiting for Sherlyn to come back after luring Marvin out, she heard a scream coming from downstairs. She could hear the scream as the attic door was open.'What's going on? Did something happen to Sherlyn?' thou

Not only did Sherlyn fall, but she was hit by the door too, causing her to scream out in pain.The man with the tie looked down on her condescendingly. He did not care about her pain at all as he gruffly said, "We saw Missus Addison and Miss Lilin going into this house! You better hand them over to us, or you're going to get it."He was definitely threatening Sherlyn despite his tone being calm even as he spoke. However, he was the most dangerous one of them all. He was akin to the final boss in every game.Only then did Sherlyn put two and two together. 'He must be talking about the mother and daughter duo that I locked up in the attic! Oh my god, have I crossed someone I shouldn't have? What should I do?!'Just when she was panicking, Liliana came down the stairs. She was shocked to see the men outside, but when she saw Sherlyn on the floor, she quickly went to help her out."Sherlyn! Are you okay?" she asked her daughter.Sherlyn shook her head in a daze; she was so scared tha

Lilliana pointed at them to make herself seem more threatening, but she forgot that her hand was stained with Emily's blood.The man with the tie frowned when he saw the blood. He did not dare to waste any more time."Missus Addison and Miss Lilin might be injured! Men, go in and look for them right away!""Yes, sir!"The men in black suits busted in through the door and started searching through every nook and cranny of all four floors.Lilliana and Sherlyn were rattled.Lilliana got up and went to stop them. "What are you doing? I didn't say you can come in! Don't touch my stuff. Get out, or I'm going to call the cops!"However, she could not stop any of them, and none of them took her threats seriously either."Ma'am, you can call the cops if you want. We'll talk to them once they're here. In the meantime, please get out of our way," said the man with the tie."You guys are no better than goons!" spar Lilliana through gritted teeth.She would have called the cops if she co

Not long after that, the injured Emily was carried down by the men in black with Melinda and Lilin anxiously following them."Hurry! Where's the ambulance?" asked Melinda.The leader of the men quickly walked up to her and answered respectfully, "Ma'am, we've already called the ambulance. It'll take a few minutes for one to arrive from the nearest hospital, so please don't worry."How could she not worry when Emily had passed out from losing too much blood? Nonetheless, she knew there was no use hurrying them. The only thing she could do was to wait patiently for the ambulance to arrive. Thus, she nodded and continued to anxiously monitor Emily's situation.The man did not dare to let his guard down either. He gave both Melinda and Lilin a thorough check-up. He was relieved to find them unharmed, though he still asked, "Ma'am, are you and Miss Lilin alright?""Yes, we're okay. Why isn't the ambulance here yet? Maybe you should just send her to the hospital," answered Melinda."Ma

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
