Chapter 2002

Author: Cher the Cherished
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

    "I'll pass," said Melody uneasily. "It's kind of awkward if I go in. Why don't you go in alone? I'll wait for you here."Lucas was displeased, evident in his expression. He dragged her out of the car, and they went in together.Stella had told Lucas through the call that something had gone wrong with the props and that she got injured during filming, so she hoped Lucas could visit her.Lucas only agreed to visit because she was his friend. However, he worried that Melody might overthink again if she did not go in with him. Hence, he dragged her in so she could see it for herself, saving him the trouble of explaining."Lucas…" Melody followed him involuntarily. She immediately tensed up when she imagined how intimate Stella and Lucas were going to be.Despite her reluctance, Lucas dragged her to the film set anyway. However, the film set was empty and oddly quiet.'Where is everyone? If someone was injured during filming, the crew should be in chaos now,' thought Lucas as he gazed

    Stella felt embarrassed when Lucas pulled his arm away from her. However, she hid it away with a smile and said, "Oh, my bad. What was I thinking? Sorry, Lucas. I'll make sure to come up with a better plan for your next birthday."She held his arm again. "Don't be angry with me, please? It's your birthday today, so you should be happy!""I'm not angry." Lucas sighed. He could not be mad at a face like that."Thank you." Stella smiled cheerfully. "I've booked a room at the club next door. Let's go there for a drink and celebrate your birthday with everyone! I know you're not a fan of sweets, but you must take a bite of this cake. After all, I went to a lot of trouble to get this cake!"Stella did not seem to be taking no for an answer, so Lucas glanced at Melody who was standing next to him. He contemplated for a moment before nodding."I knew you'd agree." Stella stood at his side with a big smile. She was relieved that he did not turn her down."Let's go, everyone! It's party ti

    Everyone in the party was enjoying themselves, singing and drinking. Stella had been sitting next to Lucas as they chatted with the people around them. Melody could not help but feel somewhat envious of her.Stella knew how to break the ice with anyone, whereas Melody only felt uneasy in front of strangers. She could never be as sociable as Stella.As Lucas sat in the crowd, he could not help but occasionally glance at the lonely-looking Melody, who sat alone in the corner.Lucas narrowed his eyes on her. When Beatrice told him to take Melody to the movies, he had no interest in going to the movie with her at all as they were only pretending to be a couple. They did not have to do what regular couples do. Nonetheless, his grandmother had bought the tickets, and he did not want to disappoint her. Thus, he decided to go along with her suggestion.He meant it when he agreed to take Melody to the movie, but somehow, they ended up at the surprise birthday party Stella prepared for him i

    Melody was surprised by Lucas' question. After all, she was not angry."Wait, what makes you think that I was angry?"Lucas tilted his head as he looked at her as if to say, 'Need I explain?'Melody smiled helplessly. "I wasn't angry. It's just that I don't know anyone there, so I don't know how to mingle around. I wasn't angry at all, really!"Lucas could not care less. Since they had left the club, he would not go back there again."Get in the car." Lucas opened the rear door and shoved her in, then he got in from the other side.The driver had been standing by in the car, so he drove off immediately once they were seated.Melody decided to keep silent, knowing that explaining herself would be futile.Lucas instructed the driver to take them back to the cinema. Lucas immediately pulled Melody out of the car the moment they arrived."Two tickets for the latest showtime of this movie." Lucas bought the tickets for the movie that they missed and gave Melody the tickets.All Me

    Lucas' eyes seemed to be beaming with expectation even in the dark, so Melody could not bear to let him down. It would make her feel guilty if she disappointed him."Alright. I don't have anything to give you today, but I'll get you something tomorrow, okay?"Lucas lowered his head a little and stared at her seductively. "But it's not my birthday tomorrow. If you don't have a gift now, why don't you improvise?""Improvise?" asked Melody as she blinked. "But how? We're in the cinema, and there's nothing here…"Before she could finish her sentence, Lucas pressed her head toward him and sealed her lips with a kiss.Surprised by the warmth she felt on her lips, Melody stiffened and her eyes widened. She could not understand why Lucas would kiss her, but it surprised her even more that she…did not mind being kissed.Lucas did not deepen the kiss. To be honest, it was more like he was grazing her lips with his. Even so, it still made her heart race."Hurry up! The movie has started."

    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
