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

After a brief moment of silence, Melinda finally said, "I saw Lucas Rivera when I was talking with Brian outside."Emily's pupils immediately shrank, and she grabbed Melinda's hand manically. "What's he doing here? Is he sick?""He's fine. He's not sick at all. Emily, calm down. You're still on your IV drip. I'll tell you everything I know," comforted Melinda.How could Emily not panic when it was her son they were talking about? She forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm listening."Melinda looked at her to make sure she had calmed down before saying, "I didn't know he was the eldest grandson of the Rivera family until Brian told me. He looked into why your son came here and found out your ex-husband was staying in this hospital too. Your son came to visit him.""Oh… I see." Emily's face was tense.Melinda looked at her carefully. "Is there anything else you want to ask?"Emily shook her head. Her expression was so impassive that Melinda could not tell what she was thinking

Xante smiled and silently sat on the chair Sunny brought her. What else could she say? She did not even know why Sunny insisted on her visiting Maxwell.The awkward silence was broken after Sunny sat on the other chair he brought over."Dad! Guess what we did just now!"Maxwell smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. What did you do?"Sunny smiled proudly and answered, "We had lunch with Corinne!"Maxwell was taken aback before an envious expression overtook him. "Really? What did you guys have? Did she like it?""We had Japanese. It was okay."There was nothing but tenderness in Maxwell's eyes when he asked, "What does she usually like to eat? Does she still have a sweet tooth like she did when she was little?"He was looking at Xante when he asked those questions. After all, Sunny told him Xante was a very close friend of Corinne and that they went way back.Xante shook her head. "We were poor when we were little. We didn't have money to buy sweet stuff, so she slowly came

Xante was brought out of her trance when Sunny called out to her. She got into the elevator with them.Inside, Xante texted her subordinates to look into why Melinda and Lilin were in the hospital.Sunny was a little upset when he saw her on the phone, but he did not say anything as he knew she was a workaholic.Ding!Sunny wheeled Maxwell out with Xante following behind them when the elevator door opened.However, she then saw several men in black dragging Marvin into the elevator.'What's going on? What's the boss' adopted father doing here? He looks like he's being brought here against his will,' thought Xante with narrowed eyes.…Emily, upon her request, was transferred from her VIP ward to a general ward. Her VIP ward was too close to Maxwell's, and she would rather stay in an ordinary ward to be as far away from him as possible.The nurse left after settling Emily in her general ward. Melinda and Lilin closed the door before walking up to Emily.Emily was in a daze, an

Lilin looked at the chubby Marvin from head to toe before she ordered the men "Bring him in and wait outside. I'll call you if I need anything else.""Yes, Miss Lilin!"The leader of the men shoved Marvin into the room and warned him, "You better behave yourself while you're in there! We'll be waiting outside, so don't try anything funny!"Marvin nodded and walked into the room obediently. He wanted to know what he had done to be dragged to the hospital ward. If he had to die, he wanted to know why.He was expecting to meet a fierce-looking gangster boss when he got in, but to his surprise, he saw two harmless-looking women. One was lying on the bed hooked up to the IV drip, and the other was sitting next to her.Marvin was stunned, but he quickly recognized the woman lying on the bed. "Em… Emily?! It's you!"Emily's pale face flushed with anger when she saw him. "So you still know who I am!"Marvin immediately relaxed after that. "Of course! Emily, you haven't aged a day."How

"Yes, and I told your daughter I was looking for you. Your daughter locked my friends and me in your attic. Your wife slashed me with a knife!" replied Emily.Marvin looked ashamed, but he was filled with anger. He wished he could go back and teach his good-for-nothing wife and daughter a lesson.'The little girl's right. Lilliana and Sherlyn deserved everything they got,' he thought."I'm sorry my family injured you, Emily. I apologize on their behalf, and I'll pay your medical bill as well."Emily scoffed impassively. "That won't be necessary. I brought you here because I wanted to ask you about my daughter."Marvin's face turned ashened when he heard that."Uh… I'm really sorry about that, too. I betrayed your trust by not taking care of her well, causing her to die at such a young age."Emily frowned. "Even now you're not going to tell me the truth?"Marvin pretended to be surprised. "What do you mean? Emily, didn't I tell you the same thing ten years ago and give you her a

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
