After all the kids had bathed and fallen asleep, Corinne wearily leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone.She had received a message from Melinda that evening that updated her about Emily's new hospital details and ward number.Oddly enough, the messages she sent to Jeremy earlier in the day remained unanswered.'Is he pulling the disappearing act again?' wondered Corinne with a sigh. She genuinely found this game of silence more draining than entertaining.The busy day also made her feel very tired, so she decided to lie down and get ready to sleep. After all, she still had the task of withdrawing all three kids from the kindergarten tomorrow morning. Ever since Joey's incident, Corinne decided not to send the kids to that kindergarten anymore.Her kids had become targets in someone's malicious game of spreading rumors. People were circulating unpleasant speculations about Joey's biological parents, and it would only get worse from there on.Therefore, Corinn

Joey, though in the car, spotted Tonny and Terry outside. He frowned and began to blame himself again. He wanted to go out to help Corinne because he felt that he should be the one to take responsibility.As he reached for the door handle, both Bryan and Christine grabbed his hand."Joey, you can't go out!" reminded Bryan."Joey, did you forget what Mommy told us? Getting out will only cause more trouble for Mommy!" added Christine.Joey was sad. "But..."The trouble started because of him, and those people were causing trouble for Mommy because of him!"No 'buts'; we just need to listen to Mommy!""Yeah! Bryan's right! We just have to listen to Mommy!"Convinced by Bryan and Christine, Joey reluctantly withdrew his hand. He decided to stay in the car and observe for the time being.Outside the car, Corinne spoke calmly to the overbearing Terry, "So, why did you go to all that trouble to corner me here?"Terry assumed Corinne was mocking him by asking the obvious. He glared a

The situation was getting tense, and Joey could not sit still any longer. He tried to open the car door, only to realize that Corinne had locked it.Thus, he could only roll down the window, leaned out, and shouted, "Mommy… Mommy! I'll apologize to them. Please don't fight with them! There are too many of them! I'll apologize..."While she braced herself to face the challenge, Corinne softened at the sound of her son's voice. She turned toward Joey and sternly said, "No, you're not going to apologize! I told you to never apologize for something you didn't do! Now roll the window back up and take good care of Bryan and Christine!"Joey's eyes reddened; he did not want to see Corinne getting bullied.Bryan and Christine, too, grew anxious. They wanted to get out of the car to protect Corinne with Joey!Unfortunately, one of the robust women grabbed Corinne's hair while she was distracted."Mommy! No! Don't hurt my mommy!" shouted the three kids in unison.Corinne quickly reacted a

Jeremy glared daggers at Terry, who broke out in a nervous sweat.'Who…is he? Why does he look so intimidating?' wondered Terry.Once Jeremy's eyes shifted away from the father and landed on Corinne, the grimness in his gaze softened. He arched an eyebrow and opened his hands slightly. "Did you miss me?"Corinne looked at him, her clear eyes on the verge of welling up with tears, but her tone still lacked warmth. "Where have you been? Why didn't you reply to my messages?"Jeremy walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her into a warm embrace. He then rested his chin on her shoulder and answered softly, "I threw away my phone to avoid being tracked. After escaping from the airport yesterday, I had to take care of some things. I'm sorry for being late again."Corinne thumped his chest and said in a choking voice, "You jerk! I thought..."She thought he had gone back to Molomia without so much as saying goodbye to her.Jeremy, knowing what Corinne wanted to sa

Joey and Bryan knew Jeremy as their father, so as Jeremy beat up Terry, the two boys watched in a mix of astonishment and excitement, occasionally letting out a cheer.As for Christine, it was her first time meeting Jeremy. Even so, she watched him with a blend of admiration and curiosity.Corinne, however, watched in her usual calm demeanor. She yawned lazily, thinking that Jeremy was taking too long.When Terry was left crawling on the ground and unable to get up, Jeremy finally felt a sting in his fists. He pulled a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped his hands before disdainfully tossing it onto the man on the ground."The name is Holden, Jeremy Holden. Feel free to find me anytime if you want to have another go with me."Terry's eyes widened in horror when he heard the name.'What! Jeremy Holden?! So that woman is his wife? No wonder I couldn't find anything on them. This explains everything! Oh crap, I messed up this time. I should count my blessings that he didn't

The kids exchanged confused glances before obediently covering their eyes with their hands."We can't see anything!" they chorused in unison.Corinne looked back at the kids, then shot Jeremy an annoyed glance. "Why did you ask them to close their eyes? What, are you trying to do a magic trick—mph!"Jeremy lifted her chin and kissed her deeply before she could finish her sentence.Blushing, Corinne thumped him on the chest and tried to push him away.'What the heck is he doing? We shouldn't be doing this in front of the kids! How could he…'Jeremy refused to let her go. He moved his hand from her chin to the back of her head so that he could press her closer to him. The longing they had for each other exploded inside them in that instant.The kids peeked at them through the gaps between their fingers, thinking, 'Mommy's being kissed. Hehe!'Jeremy only let go when he saw Corinne near tears. He planted one last kiss on her lips before saying solemnly, "Little rascal, I'm back."

Corinne quietly brought the kids upstairs to give Jeremy and his grandparents some space.Once back in their room, Corinne sat on the sofa.Christine walked up to her and asked, "Mommy, is that man my daddy?"Corinne looked at her and nodded. "Yup. Do you like him?"Christine frowned in consternation. "I don't know 'cause I don't know him. Though, if you like him, then I like him, too."Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I like him?"Christine nodded. "Yeah! I think you really like him."Corinne was a little stunned. She pulled her little daughter into her arms and rubbed her cheek against hers. "What makes you think I really like him?""Because you let him kiss him! You wouldn't have done that if you didn't like him," answered Christine with shiny eyes."Oh… So you did see us kissing," said Corinne with a dejected air."Hehe! I wasn't the only one who saw it. Joey and Bryan saw it as well!"Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose. 'D*mn it! They're never going to take

"Hey, what are you doing?!" said Corinne. It felt really ticklish for Jeremy to be rubbing his face against her neck.Jeremy straightened himself and rested his chin on her head."What do you think I'm doing?" he asked in a breathy tone.Their noses were so close together, and it looked like he was about to kiss her again when Corinne quickly put a finger to his lips."No," she said sternly with a frown."Why not?" asked Jeremy pitifully.Corinne glared at him. "Do you really think now's the time to be doing this? Let me go. I have a lot of questions to ask you."Jeremy reluctantly let her go. "I'm not going anywhere. Can it wait?"Jeremy's reasoning nearly made Corinne cave in, but she mustered all of her willpower to stay rational."No! I'm not going anywhere either, so we can have se…"She was too shy to finish the sentence. In fact, her face had turned beet red by then.Jeremy laughed and rested his cheek against hers. "Yes? Go on. What can we do later?" he asked dotingl

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
