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

Finally, the sound of the ambulance siren could be heard in the distance."That's enough, Lilin. We should take Miss Emily to the hospital now. We can deal with these two women later," said Melinda quickly to Lilin.Lilin nodded and ordered the men, "Keep a close eye on them! I'll come back and take care of them later.""Yes, Miss Lilin!" chorused the men in black.With that, Melinda and Lilin followed Emily to the hospital.Marvin immediately came back from the neighbor's house when he heard the loud ambulance siren.The moment he walked in, he saw fierce-looking men in black lording over his bruised, swollen wife and daughter."Who… Who are you all? How dare you barge into my home and beat up my wife and daughter?!" he sputtered out of fear and shock.The leader had followed Melinda and Lilin to the hospital, leaving his subordinates at the Carews' residence. They had been trained and given the orders to not give out information unless necessary. They simply stared at Lillian

"Mel, Lilin, let me see! Are you two okay?"Adam had rushed over the second his subordinate told him what happened. He was so afraid for his wife and daughter's lives that his heart trembled throughout the entire car journey to the hospital as though he was about to have a heart attack.He pulled Melinda and Lilin toward him and studied them carefully to make sure they were okay.Melinda's heart softened upon seeing how concerned Adam was toward them. She allowed him to do as he pleased as she said, "We're okay. Only Emily is hurt."Emily smiled weakly at Melinda. "See, what did I tell you? It's a good thing you and Lilin are unhurt. Otherwise, your husband would've had me answer for the crime."Melinda blushed at the statement.After he finished checking Melinda and Lilin, Adam looked at Emily disapprovingly. "You again! You want to do something risky? Fine! But why did you have to drag my wife and daughter with you?""I'm sorry. I didn't expect that the Carews would be so unre

Indeed, Emily did not want to answer any questions about her ex-husband. It was only because of Corinne that she came back to the city. Otherwise, she would not have come at all; doing it only brought back unwanted memories.Lilin brought a glass of water over to Emily to distract her. "Miss Emily, do you want to drink some water?"Emily shook her head. "No, thanks. Lilin, I have something I need you to do for me."Lilin put the glass of water down and looked at her sincerely. "I'll do anything for you.""I didn't want to trouble your dad with this request since your mom is arguing with him, but since I'm stuck in the hospital for the moment, I have no choice but to ask him for help. Can you please ask him to get his bodyguard to bring Marvin here to see me?"Lilin nodded. "Sure thing, Miss Emily! That's easily done. It just so happens I have a score to settle with his wife and daughter, so he might as well come along!"Emily wanted to persuade Lilin not to take revenge for her s

Melinda shook her head. "No, I don't feel comfortable letting a caregiver take care of her. Emily is my best friend. She's like family to me! I can't leave her here alone!"Adam scoffed. "You've always cared more about her than you did to me! Would you have gotten into harm's way today if it weren't for her?"Melinda frowned. "Here you go again. Lilin and I are fine! Plus, it's not like Emily did it on purpose!""I don't care whether she did it on purpose or not! I'm not going to stop worrying unless you stop hanging out with her!""That's your problem! I'm not going to leave until Emily gets discharged from the hospital!"As much as Adam was upset about how stubborn Melinda was, he had no choice but to surrender."Fine. You can stay here with her. I'll get my bodyguards to protect you. I'll come here to see you when I have the time. Are you happy now?" he said with a sigh.Melinda's heart softened at Adam's willingness to compromise. "It… It's best if you don't come. I don't wa

Adam would have looked into Lucas' activities even if Melinda had not asked him. He was curious about what Lucas was doing in the hospital as well.However, he was surprised that Melinda—who never cared about other people's affairs—would be curious about Lucas."Melinda, why do you want to look into him?"Melinda instinctively looked around her to make sure no one was there before answering in a small voice, "The Riveras were Emily's ex-husband's family, so I'm guessing that young man just now is her eldest son."Adam's eyes widened in surprise. He never liked Emily as she would often stop Melinda from making up with him. Thus, he was not interested in any of Emily's affairs. He would roll his eyes or turn his nose up whenever he saw her.Although Melinda had told him some stuff about Emily, he still did not know about the specifics of Emily's past. It never crossed his mind that she was once Maxwell's wife.Adam asked his men to look into Lucas' purpose for going to the hospital

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
