Lilliana leaned into Marvin's arms and coughed twice. "I am an honest woman, and I'm not afraid of some test! Let's do it right now, Marvin! There's no point in me living anymore if we don't clear things up today and..." Before she finished, her eyes closed halfway, and she seemed to be in a state of half-unconscious pain.

"Mom! Mom?! Are you okay?!" Sherlyn rushed over, knelt beside Lilliana, and shook the unconscious woman's body anxiously. "Mom! Don't scare me! Don't leave me... Hic! Hic!"

Marvin panicked, too. "Lilliana! Lilliana! Wake up..."

Lilliana closed her eyes completely and pretended to lose consciousness.

Sherlyn was not too worried because she could tell Lilliana was simply pretending. To play along with her mother, she cried and feigned resentment. "What else will it take for you to believe Mom? Corinne came back to provoke us on purpose! Didn't you notice that we're always at odds with each other every time she comes home? If something happens to Mom today, I don't

    Corinne had an indifferent expression as she said, "I remember the doctor saying that she only has a minor scratch and doesn't need to be hospitalized. Aren't you the ones who insist on staying here?"Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily and pointed at her. "You're still trying to argue...""Be quiet! Lilliana needs to rest now!" Marvin turned his head and glared irritably at Corinne. "You have no purpose being here, so it's best that you leave. We wouldn't want Lilliana waking up and getting angry again when she sees you here!"Sherlyn had a triumphant smile on her face when her father sided with her and chased Corinne away. 'You think you can snatch the love and trust Dad has toward us, Corinne? Well, keep dreaming!' She looked victoriously at Corinne and mouthed the words, "You deserve it!"Corinne was not at all bothered by Sherlyn's arrogant attitude, nor did she plan on doing as her father told her. She looked at Marvin calmly and reminded him, "Didn't you say that you were goin

    Corinne looked at Lilliana and frowned. "Are you sure about that?"Lilliana laughed like a madwoman. "Did you think I'm that stupid not to know whose child I'm carrying? You made a huge mistake if you think you could use that against me, Corinne! The truth is, Sherlyn is Marvin's daughter! Hahahahaha!"Corinne frowned slightly as if a little annoyed. "But how? Why would Goran be willing to acknowledge another man's daughter like she was his own?"Lilliana's eyes flickered when Goran was mentioned, and she glanced disdainfully at her. "That's something a little b*tch like you don't deserve to know! Not that it matters, anyway. Your father is going to scold you to death once the results are out! Both Sherlyn and I will get more love and pity from your father after that!"The door of the ward was then pushed open violently, and Goran walked in with a sour expression. "It was all a lie then, Lilliana. Sherlyn isn't my daughter at all!"When Lilliana saw her old lover, Goran, she was s

    "Godfather, there was a little misunderstanding in our family today, and my father's temper isn't at its best because he's in a bad mood. Please don't take it to heart!"Goran stopped, looked at Sherlyn contemptuously, and no longer had the tender loving care he once had for her in the past when she said, "You worry too much, Sherlyn. Why would I be offended by your father? You should go back and be with your parents, and don't call me 'godfather' anymore."Sherlyn was shocked to hear that. "Does this mean you don't want me anymore?"Goran said coldly, "Our relationship was built on a sham. This isn't a question of whether I want you or not. Please move aside. I have another appointment to attend."Sherlyn had the feeling that everything she built was crumbling in front of her, and she cautiously asked, "Then, what about my role…?"Goran smiled. "I've seen some of your previous works, and your acting skills are trash. I'll never use actresses like you in my works. Find someone els

    Goran's wife charged toward Sherlyn, looked at the latter's heavy makeup, then raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "You shameless little b*tch! What were you doing grabbing my husband earlier?"Sherlyn's usual arrogant, high-and-mighty attitude disappeared in an instant, and she covered her face guiltily. "I... I..."Passersby were starting to gather and watch when they heard the commotion.Goran was afraid of making the headlines, so he hurried forward and grabbed his wife. "We're in a hospital, darling, and there are a lot of people here! Let's talk about it at home!"Goran's wife jerked her hand from his grip. "Why should I be afraid of shame if you're not ashamed to have an affair?""Darling, please...""Don't forget the prenuptial agreement we had when we got married! It clearly states that you will have to divorce me unequivocally if you were caught having an extra-marital affair and that all assets will be stripped of you. What else do you have to say now that

    Lilliana knew that Goran's wife had a strong background and could not be offended that easily. If she was genuinely under the impression that Sherlyn was Goran's daughter, Sherlyn's future would be completely ruined!With those considerations in mind, Lilliana had no choice but to tell the truth. "I'm sorry. I had it forged. I wanted to use that to help my daughter gain Mister Goran's favor. They aren't related by blood, and I found someone to forge the paternity test. If you don't believe me, you can ask the agency who handled it."Goran had a look of disgust on his face. "Lilliana, you're absolutely..."Marvin's eyes widened as well. "Lilliana, you're completely..."The two old men spoke at almost the same time, and they were similarly disgusted by Lilliana's shameless behavior.Goran's wife could tell that Lilliana was not lying, and she began to believe it because it explained the logic of their behavior too. Since she had calmed down slightly, Goran took advantage of the situ

    Sherlyn and Lilliana then went back to the ward to get their belongings because they wanted to go home as soon as possible to try and coax Marvin. As soon as they walked in, they saw Corinne sitting lazily on a chair in the ward. Her eyes were closed, apparently since she was having a very pleasant nap, and that was enough to rile up the desperate mother and daughter.Sherlyn stepped forward to try and push Corinne, but Corinne stopped her wrist before she could do anything. Corinne grasped her wrist tight and opened her eyes wearily. "Why did you try to sneak up and attack me as soon as you entered the ward?"Sherlyn withdrew her hand unhappily and said in a sharp voice, "You're responsible for everything that happened today, Corinne."Lilliana agreed bitterly. "Yes, it must've been the work of this little b*tch!"Corinne tilted her head in confusion. "How so? What did I do? Everything that happened to the two of you today is by your own choice, was it not?"Sherlyn gritted her t

    The truth of the matter, however, was vastly unlike that which was portrayed by the trending searches.Sherlyn was furious because she used to be the one giving out orders to rile public perception against certain people, and she felt unjust that it somehow became her turn to be slandered."Mister Aaron, the trending searches aren't true! Please believe me..." she hastily tried to explain.Aaron, however, was unmoved and said in a professional manner, "The problem now is not whether I believe you, Miss Sherlyn, but whether or not the public believes you. If you do not agree to a peaceful termination of the contract, we can proceed with the legal procedures too. However, I should remind you that the compensation you would have to pay for losing the case would be much, much higher."Sherlyn was at a loss. She knew she could not win against Newmoon Group in the lawsuit, and she eventually decided to compromise. "Okay. I'll sign the termination agreement..."Just like that, Sherlyn si

    Corinne frowned when she saw Tommy. "How does he know I'm in the hospital?"Jeremy had clearly sent her to the Carews that morning, so she wondered if he had sent someone to follow her.Tommy explained, "Because you're using his cell phone. He can use that to locate your whereabouts.""I see." Corinne looked at his cell phone in her hand and felt a little uncomfortable that she had been monitored remotely.Tommy then said, "He knew that you called an ambulance, but because he couldn't get out of an important meeting that the company had today, he told me to come over and find out what happened to you.""I'm fine. It was my stepmother that got a little hurt.""Great to hear that, ma'am."Corinne felt uncomfortable when she heard him call her 'ma'am'.She recalled how he referred to her as 'Miss Corinne' in the past, and she was clueless as to why he changed his way of addressing her.She did not bother to delve too much into it and so asked softly, "Did Jeremy tell you where he

    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
