Annie burst into laughter. "Look at how freaked out you are! I was just testing your boyfriend. He's not worth it if it's that easy to split you two."Francine pouted. She was obviously not happy at being teased.On the other hand, Chester smiled and put his arm around Francine while gently addressing Annie, "I know her well. She may have a temper, but I'm not scared."Annie raised her glass to him and smiled. "Well then, I hope you'll be able to marry her soon."Chester grabbed a cocktail from the nearby self-serve bar and raised it in response. "Thanks, I'll give it my best shot."Annie took a sip of wine with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She then patted Francine's shoulder and said, "Not a bad choice for a boyfriend! Make sure you cherish him!"Francine glared and scoffed at her. She would have kicked up a fuss if it were not for the fact that it was Annie's wedding day.Annie left them to join Aaron in welcoming guests.With his arm around Francine's shoulders, he guid

Annie had been toasting guests in her high heels for over two hours. She felt so exhausted that she could barely stand. After finally seeing off another group of guests, she wearily slumped into Aaron's arms for a much-needed break."Getting married is so tiring! I'm never doing this again!"Aaron supported her and smiled with a raised eyebrow. "That's funny, because you sound like you're planning for the next time."Annie pouted. "Who knows! What if you get tired of marriage and decide to leave me for your own adventures one day? I can't just sit around and wait for you, right?"Aaron reached out and pinched her cheek. "You cheeky woman! You shouldn't be talking about something so gloomy on a happy day like this. Why would I rush into marrying you if I still want to play around outside? Isn't that a bit silly?"Annie frowned with the pain. "Hey! Don't ruin my makeup! Did you know I got up at four in the morning just so the makeup artist could do her magic on me? Plus, this whole

The shameless Sophia knew very well she was an uninvited presence. Her sole purpose in attending was to annoy Corinne.She raised her glass of red wine and smilingly said to Annie, "I wish the bride a happy marriage."That was the last straw for Annie, who felt so disgusted that she was on the verge of vomiting."Ugh! Who needs your blessing? Get lost! You're not invited to my wedding!"However, Sophia ignored Annie's scolding and nonchalantly turned to Corinne, saying, "My goodness, Corinne! How can you attend the wedding without putting on any makeup?"Corinne looked at her coldly. "Why don't you mind your own business?"Sophia chuckled. "Am I the only one who thinks it's a sign of disrespect for not putting on makeup to attend a wedding? Your laid-back approach just…you know, makes it seem like you don't value your friends much!""I said get lost! You have no right to say that to her! Plus, even without makeup on, Corinne still looks a million times better than you. Stop stir

Corinne calmly took a sip of juice. "Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. It's your special day, so don't let someone unimportant like her ruin it."Annie lightly slapped her own face. "Yeah! I need to stay positive and not let that hateful Sophia ruin my mood!"As Aaron brought over a pair of flats, he noticed Annie's frown. "What's wrong? Does your feet hurt?"Annie scoffed. "It's all your fault! The security team you hired let a b*tch slip in!"Aaron was unaware of Sophia's presence. He crouched down to help Annie change her shoes while asking, "What happened? Who's this b*tch you're talking about?""Ask Corinne! She'll tell you everything!" Annie gestured her chin toward Corinne, prompting Aaron to seek answers from Corinne. However, he found Corinne's seat empty."Hey, where's Corinne? She was just here." Annie looked around, including toward where the kids were sitting, but Corinne was nowhere to be found.Aaron stood up after helping her change her shoes. He then reach

'Could she be talking about...Mom?' With that thought in mind, Corinne grabbed Xante by the clothes and urgently asked, "Which ward? Which ward is she in?"Xante told her the ward number."Watch over the kids for me. Also, tell Aaron and Annie that I'll join them for the after-party tonight," said Corinne hurriedly.Xante, concerned by Corinne's agitation, held onto her and said, "I'll go with you."Corinne shook her head. "No. You need to look after the kids for me. I'll be fine, trust me."She shook off Xante's grasp, rushed outside, and got into her car.40 minutes later, she arrived at the hospital. She did not even bother to park her car in the underground parking lot. She did not care about parking regulations and left her car on the roadside while she rushed into the hospital.'Mom is still alive!' she thought excitedly.Corinne was so anxious and eager to see her mother that while waiting for the elevator, her breathing became erratic.She briskly stepped inside as so

Unexpectedly, the door to the ward swung just as Corinne was about to knock.A group of men in black walked out of the ward with stuff in their hands. It looked like someone was being discharged from the ward.Corinne double-checked the room number, making sure it matched what Xante had told her. She then asked one of the men, "Hey, is the person in this room getting discharged?"The man in black eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you? Why do you want to know?""I'm just here to visit the patient in there," replied Corinne."Move along! You can't just barge in. Without the say-so from our ma'am and miss, no one steps inside!" retorted the man in black rudely.'Ma'am and miss?' Corinne immediately knew who he was referring to. "I know them. Please inform them that Corinne is here. They'll let me in."'Corinne?' The man in black had heard of the name before because he often heard the name being mentioned whenever Sophia and Adam were quarreling.'Is this the same woman who irks Miss

Lilin skipped out the ward hand-in-hand with Melinda.Only Corinne and Emily remained in the ward, looking at each other shyly.Emily was the first to break the silence. She smiled gently and said, "Moonie, do you still…remember me?"Corinne stared at Emily silently.Emily sighed with self-blame. "I'm sorry for leaving you all alone for so many years. I'm so sorry…"As Emily's tears fell, Corinne's eyes reddened as well. She shifted her gaze to Emily's bandaged forearm and asked, "How did you get hurt? Is the wound serious?"Emily was taken aback. She glanced at her own forearm and shook her head. "It's nothing serious."Corinne looked into Emily's eyes. Her emotions were complex and bitter. She was not a child anymore, and it also seemed that it was no longer suitable for her to throw herself into her mother's arms carefreely."Why did you disappear when Missus Addison called me out to meet you two days ago? Were you avoiding me?" asked Corinne in a trembling voice.Emily qui

Emily held Corinne's icy hand and quickly reassured her, "Of course not, my darling. I want to take you with me! Moonie, will you come to Molomia with me?"Corinne hesitated, which was surprising. After all, she had been dreaming of going away with her mother ever since she could remember.It hit Emily hard that Corinne was all grown up with a life of her own when she saw her hesitating.Emily wiped away her tears, smiled, and said to Corinne, "Look at me, still treating you like a child! I've forgotten that you're a grown woman now, with your own family and children."Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Emily with a complicated expression. "Can't you stay with us?"Emily's smile faded into a bittersweet expression. "Moonie, I…"Corinne was always that smart. She immediately knew what Emily was concerned about. "Mom, are you worried about the Riveras?"Emily remained silent, but she was as good as admitting it.The Riveras were her nightmare; it was the family she

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
