"Just do as I say, and don't ask so many questions."Young talents like Wendy generally had a lot of free time around the clock. Wendy found it a bit odd, and she had to do a double take at her phone with the suspicion that her boss might be dreaming and talking in his sleep.There seemed to be no logical reason for why a renowned actress would want to meet her, and she wondered if that was her turning point to become popular and perhaps even match Melody's success.She believed that if Melody could do it, then so could she.Wendy read on social media that a lot of people were retweeting Melody's movie highlights. Every single comment praised Melody and bemoaned the supposed lack of good-looking and capable actors. It was utterly ridiculous in Wendy's opinion. She felt that the social media users lacked good taste and found it appalling that someone like Melody was exalted in such a manner.After refreshing further, Wendy found that Melody's official account gained 800000 follower

Wendy never imagined that she would hear such praise from Stella."I'm getting a little embarrassed now. You're being too kind..."Stella shook her head. "Don't feel that way. There's a difference between those with real energy and those without. Nowadays, many actors use that vigor to market themselves, but the fake will stay fake, and nothing is going to make that real."For Wendy, that remark brought to mind the praise that social media users had for Melody.She nodded empathetically. "Nowadays, even the worthless actresses can be praised to high heavens as long as they have a strong backing.""Hahaha, that's right! It's a big loss for the industry that a good talent like you hasn't yet been able to make it."Stella then lowered her head and sighed as if she lamented some sort of downward trend in the industry.Wendy also felt a little sorry for herself. "I'm super happy that you recognized my talent. I might just need a stroke of luck and a turning point. I'm sure I'll be ab

Wendy scoffed when she thought about the schemes that lay beneath Melody's show of confidence. Securing a mysterious financial backer was beyond despicable.Stella cleared her throat and said, "Melody's rise to stardom seems inevitable with that backing. She might even eclipse seasoned actresses like us one day."Wendy did not hide her complex mix of envy and indignation.Stella continued to press further. "Do you have Melody's contact information? Didn't she think of sharing her newfound fortune with you during her rise to prominence? A few crumbs from her powerful backer won't hurt the wallet.""I wouldn't touch such filth!" Wendy spat before immediately composing herself. "I'm sorry, Miss Stella. That wasn't meant for you. My past with Melody makes me stir up some uncomfortable emotions. I hope I didn't frighten you."Stella masked her agenda with an understanding expression. "No offense taken. You shouldn't sever your familial ties that easily, though. If you have her contact

Wendy gritted her teeth and slammed her hands on the table. "I don't need her help! I'd rather beg for food than have her pity me!"A smile of success flashed across Stella's lips, and she did not waste much time there. Having achieved her goal, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave. "Okay then, Wendy. Either way, I'm glad to meet you today. I'd be happy to collaborate with you if the opportunity ever arises."Wendy lost control at that moment and began cursing, "B*tches! You're all bitches!"Wendy never imagined that Melody would get such a powerful backer even after swearing not to get involved with those old men. The thought of Melody going viral on the Internet made Wendy feel agonizingly jealous and aggrieved.Wendy stood up abruptly with a vicious look in her eyes. If Melody wanted to be popular, then Wendy would be more than happy to show everyone Melody's ugly side!She remembered someone who would be very helpful at that moment and took out her mobile phone to searc

"Yes, I'm Melody," said Melody while cradling the book she had just found. It was the first time that a fan recognized her, and she blushed as a result."Ah! I really liked that scene you shot! Your acting was superb, and you're so beautiful too! I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful without makeup on! Are you okay if we take a selfie?"The compliment made Melody feel a little shy. "Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I'm fine with a selfie, but I hope you don't mind that I'm not wearing makeup now."Melody was worried that her audience might prefer to see a side of her that was similar to the character she played in a movie, but her fan shook her head and said, "Why would I? You're already beautiful enough as you are!""You're super pretty, too! I'm happy to meet you." Melody smiled as her fan took the selfie.The fan was overjoyed. "Good luck in your acting career, Melody! You'll become a super popular woman for sure! I'll be your fan for as long as I live!"Melody nodd

Eventually, her boyfriend felt so embarrassed by the entire situation that he had to drag his girlfriend away.Melody was still amazed at the thought that someone would admire her so deeply. She could not help but wonder if her fans liked the heroine she portrayed in the movie or if they genuinely liked her as a person.The couple continued to talk about Melody. "She smells so good! It must be her natural scent! Gahh! Melody is so amazing! I love her so much!"Her boyfriend had long grown accustomed to his girlfriend's fangirling tendencies and earnestly shared his first impression of Melody. "Yeah, she is beautiful.""Right?!" his girlfriend fawned.Melody's grace and character could be likened to a pearl that should be cherished, or a flower that stood taller than the other blooms around it. Everyone liked hearing compliments, and Melody was no different.After leaving the bookstore, Melody seemed to have gained a bit more confidence, and she was not as scared when she walked t

[And after we're done?] he asked.[Then I'll send you the final payment, as we've agreed. I want photos and videos!] Wendy spent a considerable amount of money on that.[OK.]BD relayed Wendy's request to his men, who were thrilled at the prospect of it."See? I knew we'd be allowed to touch her!" said the blonde with an obscene smile."Keep your hands to yourself until we reach our safe house!" BD shot back.They never had the chance to get so close to a female celebrity, which made it all the more arousing for such a vulnerable actress to be incredibly arousing.At that point, Melody's eyebrows twitched a little. She felt nauseous in the car, and she was almost about to open her eyes when she realized that she had likely been kidnapped.Plenty of questions raced in her mind. 'Who is it? What are they going to do to me?'Fearing that something might happen to her if they knew she was awake, she continued to pretend that she was unconscious and eavesdropped on the conversation

"What? That can't be!" BD frowned and tossed the cigarette butt to the ground before crushing it. "She couldn't have woken up that quickly. Are you two playing a prank on me?"BD took a closer look and saw Melody's beautiful eyes. They were truly captivating, and it was no wonder that she could become a star. A gangster like him did not have the vocabulary necessary to describe her stunning looks, and he could only say that he had never seen anyone more beautiful than Melody."Who are you and why are you doing this?" A visibly frightened Melody huddled in the corner. She surveyed the place covertly and saw its dilapidated state. There were no windows, and drafts were everywhere. All those signs pointed to the fact that the building was abandoned and unfinished."You're aware?" one of them said. "Hehe, it doesn't matter who we are. All you need to do is have fun with us later."Melody's hair stood on end. 'Why are they doing this? I have no beef with these people, so why on earth ar

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
