Chester's question obviously had Jeremy stumped.Corinne looked at Jeremy expectantly, waiting for his answer.Jeremy felt immense pressure under Corinne's gaze. "I like everything about her!""Then I like everything about Francine as well! I want to have a future with her," chimed Chester.Jeremy naturally could not find any error in what Chester said.Corinne laughed at this. It was rare to see Jeremy speechless. She sidled up to him and whispered with a smile, "I suggest you give it up. Chester and Francine really like each other, so stop causing trouble for him!"Jeremy wrapped his arm around her waist and gave it a squeeze. "Seems like you really like this junior of yours."It was Corinne's turn to be speechless. 'He seems to be even more prone to jealousy after getting back his memory!'At that moment, Francine ran down the stairs."Jeremy!" she shouted emotionally. Her snot and tears were all over her face.She had gone upstairs to look for him but got no response afte

Corinne could not even formulate words at the moment.Francine and Chester were stunned, but they nodded tacitly.After that, Jeremy carried Corinne upstairs in an authoritative manner.As unwilling as she was to go up with him, Corinne knew it was futile to fight him. Based on her understanding of him, the more she struggled, the more it would excite him.Happy tears streamed down Francine's cheeks again as she watched Jeremy carrying Corinne up the stairs. 'He's home! My brother is really home!'Chester passed her a tissue. "Here. Use this to wipe your tears, or your makeup will be ruined."Francine snapped out of her thoughts. She turned to look at Chester."Oh, no. Don't tell me you find me annoying too," she said with a pitiful pout.Chester burst out laughing. Worried that she might be overthinking again, he moved closer to her and wiped away her tears for her. "Silly girl. You should know that I'll never find you annoying."Francine turned bright red. She took the tissu

While Corinne was a full-grown adult, she still blushed at what Jeremy said."Can you, for once, have some decency?" she asked as she thumped his chest."Why should I have some decency when dealing with you?" retorted Jeremy with a smirk.Corinne's eyelashes fluttered. "Stop! Don't make me worry about you," she said as she tried to push him away.Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "Why do you need to worry about me?""Um… Your legs have just recovered not that long ago, so…it's best if you don't do any vigorous exercise," answered Corinne bashfully.Jeremy narrowed his eyes and pushed away the baby hair on her forehead. "You don't miss me?"Corinne was no nun. "I do, but we have plenty of time to catch up with each other."Jeremy stared at her for a while before rolling over and lying down next to her. He then interlocked his fingers with hers."Okay. Let's save this for another day, then."…That night, the entire mansion was filled with lively cheers as the Holdens sat down for the

Corinne turned to find Pamela smiling at her from the kitchen."Come have your breakfast, Corinne. We saved some for you."Corinne nodded, walked to the dining room, and sat at the table. Pamela instructed the servant to serve her some piping hot breakfast before she sat down next to her."Dig in, Corinne."Pamela was absolutely glowing with happiness, and the reason for that was, of course, Jeremy."Grandma, why didn't anyone wake me up this morning?" asked Corinne after she took a bite of her food.Pamela grinned and said, "Well, Jeremy wouldn't let anyone do that. He asked us to let you sleep in since you had an exhausting day yesterday. Eat more, Corinne. You need all the energy you can get. They always say that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder', so I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do with each other."Corinne started blushing when she heard that. 'D*mn it! Jeremy must've said something to make Grandma think we were up to no good last night!'"Um… Grandma, last

Jeremy walked to Corinne and took her coffee cup from her hands to sip. "So, where are you taking me?""You'll know when we're there. But first, let me bring you up to speed on everything that has happened in the company over the past three years."Jeremy stroked her head. "That won't be necessary. I already got the gist of everything during the meeting I had just now. We can go to this mysterious place you want to take me right now."Corinne looked up at him. She was secretly annoyed at him. 'What a flirt! Why does he have to make everything sound dirtier than I mean? It's not like I'm going to bring him to a s*x dungeon or something.'She swiped away his hand, stood up, and pulled him by the tie. "Let's go, then!"Jeremy put down the cup of coffee and let Corinne drag him out of the office.The first person to be shocked was the secretary. 'Miss Corinne is like a dominatrix, leading out Mister Jeremy like a dog!'The rest of the employees were shocked. They looked on in awe as

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.Emily, who was about to dig into her bowl of chicken soup, raised her head and stared at the door expectantly.Lilin ran over and opened the door.Sure enough, Corinne was standing outside."Miss Corinne, you're finally here! You have no idea how much Miss Emily has been looking forward to your visit!"Corinne nodded and said, "Sorry, I've been so busy these past two days. I only have some time to spare today."The excited Lilin was about to grab Corinne's hand and pull her in but realized that someone else was already holding her hand.Only then did she notice that someone was standing beside Corinne. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw who it was. "Z—Zachary? You can stand?"Jeremy's face darkened when he saw Sophia's half-sister, even though Melinda and Lilin never did anything to him as Sophia did.He ignored Lilin and held Corinne's little hand tighter.Hearing Lilin call out Zachary's name in surprise, Melinda stood up a

Everyone turned to look at Lilin, confused at what she meant."What do you mean, Lilin? What's different?" asked Emily with a curious smile.Lilin took a few steps forward, looked at Jeremy, and said, "What I meant was Zachary behaves differently when he's with Corinne than when he's with Sophia!"A flash of disgust crossed Jeremy's eyes at the mention of Sophia."Really? What's the difference?" asked Emily. She wanted to know whether Jeremy was good enough for her daughter.After thinking about it, Lilin answered, "He's like a completely different man! Zachary is cold and silent when he's with Sophia. There was no light in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at her! But with Miss Corinne, he's so gentle, so doting, so lively, and so polite!"Corinne frowned. 'She sure knows how to exaggerate. Jeremy has only said one sentence this whole time! And it's not like he spoke in a particularly gentle manner.'Emily turned her attention back to Jeremy again. "My child, I've hea

Jeremy took out his phone to make a call as he walked out of Emily's ward. After giving some instructions to the person on the other end of the phone, he hung up.Suddenly, a person came to him and intercepted his path."Zachary!"A surge of disgust gripped Jeremy when he heard Sophia's voice. He looked up from his phone and saw Sophia standing in front of him, looking like she was about to cry.Sophia did not have the appearance of one of those delicate girls, and he had long wanted to remind her that this pitiful expression was not suitable for her. However, he was not in the mood to deal with her, so he walked past her without a second glance.Sophia obviously had no intention of giving up, not after finally meeting him again. She suddenly hugged him from behind and shouted with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Zachary! Don't do this to me! I… I love you so much… I've done and given you so much! Why won't you love me back?"Her cries attracted many people's attention, and the

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
