Melody revealed the truth to her. "The drama doesn't exist at all, and there were no cameras recording during the supposed audition. Wendy, you like acting, don't you? Well, you should be happy that I hired so many people to act with you."Wendy finally realized that she had been deceived, and her eyes filled with anger. "How dare you lie to me?! Just what are you trying to achieve by pulling such a stunt on me?"She reached out to slap Melody, seeking to vent her frustration. However, Melody quickly stepped back, avoiding the slap. "You can't touch me right now. I have ways of ruining your reputation if you dare to lay a finger on me."Wendy did not believe her, but considering how smoothly Melody managed to snatch away her advertisement deal, she felt a bit uncertain. Thus, she did not dare to act rashly for the time being and instead asked, "What are you talking about, Melody?""You know what I mean." Melody pointed at the several cameras nearby. "The audition wasn't recorded by

Seeing Wendy trying to refute but coming up empty, Melody felt happier than ever. She finally got revenge on all the grievances she suffered under Wendy's rule."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Don't tell me you only realize now that you have nothing left to threaten me with anymore, Wendy.""What do you want, Melody?" Although Wendy realized that she could not threaten her anymore, she refused to give in.Melody lowered her head and smiled. "I don't want anything. It's just that you used photos to slander me, so I want you to taste what it feels like to be slandered. What was that phrase again? 'Give a taste of their own medicine'?"The video Melody possessed would subject Wendy to online harassment, but she did not intend to ruin her completely. She simply wanted to deter her from causing trouble again in the future.After all, pushing someone to a dead end, where they had lost all hope, could lead them to act recklessly without considering the consequences. Wendy would be ev

After today's performance, Lucas seemed to see a different side of Melody. She used Wendy's desire to act to teach her a lesson in a process. Not to mention, she got leverage out of the whole thing as well. Melody was certainly more cunning than he gave her credit for."Me? Become an actress?" Melody found Lucas' question somewhat perplexing. She walked over, plugged the USB drive into the computer, and began copying the necessary surveillance videos. "Why would I? I'm not like Wendy, who dreams of becoming a famous actress and living the life of a big star. I don't want my every move to be excessively scrutinized by people."Lucas chuckled softly. "Is that so? But I think you're more talented at acting than your sister. You'll have a bright future if you become an actress."Melody realized that Lucas was teasing her. She thought about the scene she had just played with Wendy and felt somewhat flustered."If you're just going to sit here and mock me about this, I suggest you leave,

Melody had been in more frequent contact with Edmund and enlisted his help in many tasks. She was well aware of Edmund's capabilities, and she knew he could easily step in to teach Wendy a lesson. However, she was determined to handle the matter herself. She had to learn how to fight back against her bullies, or she would never grow."I can handle it myself, and Edmund has helped me a lot. He's your secretary, not my errand boy. I can't keep burdening him with more work all the time," said Melody with a faint smile.For some reason, her smile made Lucas' heart ache. It was as if she was a fragile doll who could shatter at a slight touch."Let's go." Lucas stepped forward and took her hand. "I'll take you out for a meal."Melody barely registered what was happening, even as he dragged her out. "Uh, Lucas, wait..."He ignored her protest and strode outside with her in tow.Melody did not resist. Her face turned bright red when she looked down in a daze on their intertwined fingers.

"Didn't I tell you you don't need to work?" Lucas was starting to get impatient.'I told her that she didn't have to repay the three million dollars, yet she insists on finding a job. Can't she just be at peace?' he thought."Lucas, I know I don't have to work while I'm part of your family, but that won't be the case a year from now. What am I supposed to do then? I'm not like you. I don't have endless money. I still need to work!"That was something Lucas had not considered. Their contract was only for a year. After one year, they would peacefully divorce. Moreover, she could not go back to her own family since she had severed all ties with them. There was nowhere she could go, so she had to come up with a backup plan."When the time comes, I'll have Edmund arrange a house and a car in your name. I'll also give you a sum of money after the divorce, so you don't have to worry about anything at all," said Lucas after a minute of silence.He had indeed arranged things quite appropri

Wendy's slap disoriented Helen.She always kept a low profile and went along with whatever Ethan and Wendy said, just to survive in the Sanders' residence. However, even after being so submissive, Wendy still treated her this way!"Wendy, what's wrong with you? I haven't done anything!" Helen said, shedding tears of grievance.Wendy, looking into the eyes so similar to Melody's, felt her anger burning even more intensely. "Stop pretending! It's all because of you that Melody has become so cunning."Wendy picked up the nearby teapot and hurled it toward Helen, who failed to dodge in time."Aahh!"The steaming water spilled from the teapot and scalded Helen's entire arm, turning it red.Wendy had acted impulsively a moment ago, but upon seeing Helen's red arm, fear washed over her. "I..."Helen, enduring the pain in her arm, forced a smile. "I'm fine, Wendy. Please don't be mad anymore. What happened?"Seeing Helen trying to be amicable, Wendy's anger subsided by half. She frown

Meanwhile, Lucas drove Melody back home after they finished their lunch.Melody got out of the car, but when she noticed Lucas remained seated, she turned to ask him, "Aren't you getting out?""I have some things to take care of," Lucas replied.Melody felt disappointed, and there was a bitter feeling in her heart. 'Is he going to find Stella?' she wondered.Lucas gave a helpless smile when he saw her expression. "I haven't been to the office all day, and there are many things I need to do, so I can't afford to relax.""You're going to the office?" Melody's mood brightened slightly with a smile. "Don't work too late. Your family is already wealthy, so you don't need to work so hard. Your health is more important."Melody turned and happily skipped into the house.Lucas' gaze involuntarily softened as he watched her go into the house. It was sort of nice to have Melody living with them. At least, his grandparents seemed to be in a good mood every day because of her antics.He th

Unable to contact Melody, Helen racked her brains and thought of Melody's former classmates.Melody was sort of a loner, and over the years, Helen had not seen her make many friends. Melody only brought up one particular classmate a few times, so Helen assumed they had a good relationship.Helen quickly went to Melody's room. Melody had left in a hurry, so she did not take many things with her. Helen searched through her belongings and found a yearbook hidden at the bottom of the cabinet.Melody only bought a mobile phone when she graduated from college, so she must have written down her former classmates' contact information in the yearbook.Helen searched for a long time before finding that classmate's phone number in the yearbook.She called right away, saying, "Hello?"The person on the other end of the line was puzzled to receive a call from Helen. "Yes, who is this?""I'm Melody's mom. Is she with you right now? Pass her the phone right now!" ordered Helen.During college

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
