Adam snorted. "Don't you two get it? Why should I stay here if they're not going to accept my apology? Let's leave!"Lilin looked annoyed. "But Dad...""Enough!" Adam bent down and lifted his daughter in his arms. "We shouldn't have come here in the first place. Let's go. We're going to bail your sister out. She's waiting for us!"Melinda, embarrassed but unable to do anything about it, bid farewell to Emily and Corinne before rushing out to try and catch up.When they left, Emily's expression sank, and she felt her heart grow heavier. Corinne remained silent and chose to pretend as though nothing happened. She handed some food to her mother and said, "Here. Have some dinner."Emily nodded and offered a reluctant smile to Corinne before eating quietly.When Corinne saw this, she turned to Jeremy and asked, "Could you accompany me to the bathroom, please?"Jeremy nodded in tacit understanding. He came forward and left the ward with her. The hospital corridors were slightly less c

Melinda felt that nothing she said could snap Adam back to his senses. "Fine! In that case, I'm done with you! You can go and bail Sophia out if you want, but give Lilin back to me."She took Lilin from Adam and walked out when the elevator doors opened.Adam caught up to them and said, "What do you expect me to do, Mel? I can't just ignore Sophia!"Melinda took a deep breath and said disappointedly, "Go help Sophia, then. Lilin and I won't support you in this decision. We'll go our separate ways from now on. You can take Sophia, and I'll take Lilin. If Sophia does anything to hurt anyone, you can bear the consequences alone."Adam could only remark helplessly, "Mel…Sophia isn't as evil as you make her out to be..."Unable to bear his unreasonable remark, Melinda looked at Adam in bewilderment and said, "Haven't you seen all those wrongdoings she did over the years? She nearly succeeded in splashing acid on Corinne today! Sophia has always resorted to extreme measures when she doe

Sophia went berserk behind the iron bars and yelled all sorts of profanities as she kicked the doors.The police officer who escorted Adam and his family said with a frown, "She's been causing a ruckus ever since she was placed in here, and she's been insulting our colleagues repeatedly, too."Adam's expression remained somber, and his face grew even gloomier. Melinda apologized sheepishly to the police officer and felt ashamed that Sophia had been causing so much trouble.The police officer declined to comment any further and simply gestured for them to go ahead and visit Sophia. She was still kicking the iron bars frantically when she spotted her father, and her eyes lit up right away. "Dad! You're finally here! Tell them to let me out, Dad! It's cold and wet here. This place isn't fit for humans!"Sophia's unrepentant demeanor left Adam feeling a deep sense of regret and helplessness. "Do you realize what you've done, Sophia? Do you think you can just walk out of here?"Sophia

Sophia's confrontational attitude left Adam speechless. He could not fathom that the manic person in front of him was his daughter. 'How did Sophia come to this?' he thought to himself.Lilin lost her temper and said angrily, "Enough, Sophia! Haven't you demanded enough from Dad over these years? You're never satisfied with what you have, and we've only reached this point now because you insisted on taking things that don't belong to you! How could you have the audacity to blame your father for this? You should reflect on yourself!"Sophia glared viciously at Lilin and retorted, "You little b*tch! You don't have the right to talk to me like that! I wouldn't have to share Dad's affection with you if you were never born, and he would never have treated me like this in the first place!"Lilin snorted. "Even if I never came into this world, Dad would eventually realize you're not worth his care and concern. You're greedy, ungrateful, and selfish!"Sophia seemed to lose her mind at that

There was a knock on the door barely minutes after they entered the suite. When Lilin went over and opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of several people in office attire. One of them came forth and explained why they were there—Adam had to be taken away for investigation as several of the Adam Group's companies had been suspected of operating illegally within the country, in addition to evading taxes on a massive scale.Melinda was stunned, and Lilin was at a loss too. However, Adam was remarkably calm for someone who had just wept bitterly. It was almost as if he had known that they would come for him sooner or later. He walked over calmly and said, "I'll go with you."Melinda could not accept what was happening. "What's going on?"Adam smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the best version of myself for you and Lilin. I'll have to go with them now. You can contact my lawyer if you still want a divorce."Tears welled up in Melinda's eyes. "Brian..."

Melinda responded with a bitter smile.Corinne turned and held Jeremy's hand silently. Then, they said goodbye to Emily and left the ward together.However, Corinne did not leave the hospital. She stood outside the ward, worrying what might happen.Jeremy understood her worries, so he said, "If you don't want to leave, we can wait outside here. In case anything happens, we can go inside immediately."Corinne nodded. She believed that Melinda was a reasonable person, but she could not stop worrying.…After Corinne and Jeremy had left the ward, Melinda walked to Emily's bedside as she usually would. "Have you eaten enough, Em? Should I heat up the food for you at the nurse stations so you can continue eating?"Emily shook her head and looked worriedly at her best friend. She had known Melinda for many years, and she could tell something was bothering her even though Melinda was acting normal."I'm not hungry, Mel. Did you…fight with Adam again?""No, of course not. Now, take a

Emily realized Corinne and Jeremy must have had something to do with Adam being taken away.She looked at Melinda guiltily, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mel. I think I know what's going on, but I can't do anything. I…""It's okay, Emily. I understand how you feel. I'd feel the same if I were you," said Melinda while patting Emily's hand.Emily's eyes reddened with sadness and guilt.When she wandered all those years without a place to call home, Melinda had always been there for her. Yet, when Melinda needed her help to save her family, she could not provide any…She felt sorry for Melinda as well as Corinne. She gave Corinne away to the wrong person and made her suffer for many years. While Corinne prevailed over life's challenges and met her perfect match, they were separated for three years because of some troublemaker.Emily was well aware she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to Corinne, so she had no right to ask her to let Adam go, especially when

Not knowing what else there was to say, Emily gazed at Melinda with gratitude, admiring her positivity and understanding.…Outside the ward, Corinne and Jeremy overheard Emily and Melinda's conversation. They looked at each other silently, deeply impressed by Melinda's moral standing.'Mom is lucky to have a friend like Missus Addison. She's such an understanding woman,' thought Corinne.Suddenly, Corinne's phone buzzed in her pocket. She took out her phone and saw it was a call from Pamela.She showed the phone to Jeremy, who took a quick glance and said, "Go ahead, answer it."'Grandma must be wondering why we're not home yet at this hour,' thought Corinne as she picked up the phone.Before she could tell Pamela that they would not be home that night, Pamela said anxiously, "Corinne, where are you and Jeremy? Come back, now! Something terrible has happened!"Corinne exchanged glances with Jeremy before asking, "What's happened, Grandma?""Joey… Joey was abducted! A stranger

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
