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

The receptionist hurriedly walked up to Helen to stop her. "Ma'am, you can't just go in."The infuriated Helen pushed the receptionist aside and attempted to enter, but the gate would not budge.Unable to stop her, the receptionist shouted for security. Two guards swiftly arrived and lifted Helen away, one on each side, to escort her out of the company.Despite her struggles, Helen could not break free. Realizing she was about to be thrown out, she shouted loudly, "I'm Melody's mother! She knows the president of this company! He'll punish you if you just throw me out like this!"Coincidentally, Sherman had just returned to the company from outside. He did not want to get involved in the lobby's commotion. However, upon hearing the woman claiming to be Melody's mother, Sherman involuntarily stopped."Let her go." Sherman walked over, sporting a faint smile. "Ma'am, did you just say you are Melody's mother?"Helen rubbed her arm, which was sore from being pulled, and appraised the

Sherman frowned, sensing that Melody's attitude toward her mother was not too favorable. "She said she couldn't reach you by phone, and knowing that we're acquainted, she came here. Do you want to come over now?"Melody refused to believe that Helen did not have some ulterior motive for appearing in Parr Group of all times. However, she also knew that Helen would not leave willingly—which would cause more trouble for Sherman—if she did not go over there to take her away.Helpless, Melody ultimately decided to go over. "Wait for me. I'll be right there."She then hung up and hurriedly left for Parr Group.Melody's face darkened upon entering Sherman's office and seeing Helen calmly drinking tea. She firmly pulled Helen up from her seat, saying, "Get up. I'm taking you home.""Melody!" Helen shook off her hand, reluctant to leave. "What are you doing? I've come all this way. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"Melody could not comprehend why her mother came here in the first pla

Helen, upon hearing that Melody was not taking Sherman seriously, became anxious. "Melody, why are you so foolish? You'd rather be a sugar baby to some old pervert than date a good young man like President Sherman?"Even at this moment, Helen still thought Melody was a sugar baby."Say whatever you want." Melody did not want to talk to her anymore, so she called for a ride through the app on her phone.Helen became even more anxious. She paced back and forth in the same spot several times. "Melody, I really think you shouldn't let go of this opportunity."Regardless of what she said, Melody paid no attention. She just kept her eyes fixed on her phone screen to see where the car was.When the car arrived, Melody simply pushed Helen into it, closed the door, and instructed the driver to drop her mother off at the address given.Melody finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the car leave with Helen in it. Her life would inevitably turn into chaos whenever the Sanders appea

Melody looked probingly at Lucas while he simply nodded at her.Surprisingly, Lucas did want to take her to a movie."Alright, let's hurry and eat. The movie will start soon," Beatrice said as she stood up, pulling Melody to the dining room.The servants had prepared dinner in the dining room. Beatrice sat Melody down and began serving her food. With a stomach full of questions, Melody ate her dinner. After finishing the meal, Lucas gestured for her to join him outside.Despite feeling quite strange about the situation, Melody followed Lucas into the car. Beatrice and Cedric happily waved them away.Once in the car, Melody could not help but ask, "Lucas, are you really taking me to see a movie?"Lucas started the car, and without looking at her, asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?""It's not that," Melody mumbled, looking down. It was not that she did not want to watch a movie; it felt odd to be going to the movies with him.Lucas remained silent as he drove, and Melody

Lucas checked the time and stood up. "Let's go. We can go in now."They gave their tickets to the usher and found their seats. To let them experience the life of an ordinary couple, Beatrice deliberately chose a regular screening, and the surrounding seats were all occupied.Lucas, dressed in a black suit, looked a bit out of place among the casually dressed crowd.Seeing his somewhat awkward expression, Melody could not help but smile and leaned in close to him. "I bet you're regretting not changing into casual clothes before coming out. Ordinary people rarely wear suits for leisure.""Just watch the movie," Lucas said with a straight face, pushing her head back with his hand.Melody touched her head and then sat quietly watching the movie. As the movie began, it turned out to be a romantic love story. It seemed that Beatrice had spent a long time selecting a movie to enhance the relationship between the two."Hey." Not long after the movie started, Lucas's phone rang. He answer

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
