BD stubbed out his cigarette with a sinister grin. He turned around and approached Melody slowly."We may not know each other, but fate seemed to have brought us together today, don't you think? Still, don't you think a million is too little? I was wondering if—" Melody had anticipated that."Money isn't an issue. I can offer you more, but my conditions remain the same," she cut him off.BD did not seem angry even though she interrupted him. He nodded patiently and said, "Let's go over it again. If everyone finds it reasonable, then we'll all agree. Money is the reason we hustle on these streets. You can make any dream a reality with the right price.""First," Melody said, "none of you are allowed to touch me. This is non-negotiable, and it's as much for your own sake as it is mine. I don't need to tell you any more about my illness. I'm sure none of you would like to contract it, right? And besides, with money rolling in, you'll get any woman you want."The guy in the buzzcut g

As she watched the men leave, Melody curled up in the corner of the bed. She silently hugged her legs, not conversing with the thug with the buzzcut. She prayed that Lucas would save her, though she was unsure whether he would.When they brought the person who hired them, she would have to transfer money to them. However, the limit on the card Lucas gave her had been used up. She was afraid that if Lucas did not arrive in time, they would…Melody held back her tears; she knew it was not the right time to cry.'But…still…'Melody recalled the previous night at home when she and Lucas each occupied a desk, tending to their own matters. Even though they did not talk much and Lucas already held someone else dear to his heart, just sitting in the same room with him quietly made her happy enough.Such a comforting warmth sharply contrasted with the cold, unfinished building she was in at that moment. She wanted to leave this place so badly. She wanted to go back home and have a good nig

BD was also very pleased at the amount of money they would be getting. "Hell yeah! We can go wherever we want with that kind of money!"...Melody did not expect them to bring the person back so quickly. What surprised her even more was that the person they brought back was none other than her half-sister from the same father but a different mother—Wendy!"Wendy?!"Melody frowned. Even if her relationship with Wendy was strained, she never expected her to be malicious enough to hurt her like this.She had moved out of the Sanders' residence. Why was Wendy so persistent in bothering her so badly? What did she want? Why resort to such ruthless tactics against her? What had she done to deserve this from Wendy?After the bumpy ride, Wendy was carelessly thrown onto the floor. She woke up that instant. Her hands were tied behind her, rendering her immobile."Have you lost your mind?! We agreed that after everything was done, I'd transfer the money to you. Why on earth did you tie me

Melody looked at Wendy impassively, having heard the same words countless times. She did not think she had done anything wrong. It was Wendy's problem if she found Melody displeasing.'Her heart is so twisted that she can't even think straight!' thought Melody.Back when Melody lived with the Sanders, Helen always asked her to 'give in a bit' to Wendy. However, Wendy was the older sister, and each time, she was the one who did wrong. Why did she, as the younger sister, have to give in and endure?"If you don't want to see me, it's not me who should disappear; it's you! If you disappear, you won't have to see me again and won't be disgusted!"With that, Melody turned to BD and said coldly, "Don't just stand there. You wanted to get the remaining money, right? Whatever she told you to do to me earlier, do it to her now!"Wendy started to panic as the thugs approached her. "No! Don't listen to her! I bet she doesn't have any money. Whatever amount you want, I'll get it for you when I

Meanwhile, Lucas led a group of people toward Melody's location. He drove out of the garage in his race car since only a race car could guarantee absolute speed on mountain roads.Edmund sat in the car behind him. Although they had set out at the same time, Lucas had left them far behind.He looked at the constantly blinking marker on the tablet with a worried expression. "Can we go faster? We're very far from Mister Lucas. It's dangerous for him to enter the abandoned building alone."The driver replied, "We're already driving as fast as we can. There's a sharp turn ahead; we can't accelerate any further."As Lucas approached the bend, he did not reduce the speed at all. Instead, he swiftly maneuvered the car around the winding mountain road and made a sharp turn by turning the steering wheel. That was the only way to ensure absolute speed.Lucas did not plan to go into the abandoned building alone. Another pair of law enforcement officers were heading toward the same place as he

Melody was livid. She was disgusted with what Wendy had said, but in the end, she still nodded at the men."Yes, I know. But rest assured I'll make good on my word. You have essentially fulfilled my two requests. I can transfer the full payment to you now, so just let her go."Wendy's ears perked up, and she asked defiantly, "Just wow much is she paying you that you'll turn on me like this? What a bunch of losers…"The blonde could not stand her anymore, so he slapped her."You can't even come up with a few hundred thousand dollars, yet you dare to mock Melody?"Wendy was frightened by the slap but managed to keep her emotions in check. She feared that she would try to escape if she did not."Melody's giving us three million dollars! She's not a miser like you! No wonder you couldn't become popular! I won't be surprised if you stay a D-list actress forever!""Huh! Who do you think you are?! What do you know? What right do you have to speak to me like that, you shameless piece of

"Alright, stop wasting time with her. It makes things easier for us since Melody said it's enough." BD tilted his head toward Melody. "Melody, have you figured out which card you want to use to pay us?"The moment had finally arrived, and Melody, pretending to be calm, had the blonde hand over her phone."I haven't used up my pay, but I forgot which card has money in it. I need to check first..."The blonde, upon hearing this, could not help but marvel in admiration. 'So this is what the life of a wealthy person is like! They have so much money that they couldn't even keep track of which of their cards have how much money inside!'"Don't worry, we still have time to swipe through them one by one. As long as we swipe enough to cover the remaining two million dollars, I guarantee you can walk out of this abandoned building unscathed today," BD said with a smile, but a hint of darkness lingered in his eyes. "However, we'll have to find another way if you can't come up with the two mil

BD and the rest of the men did not find anything suspicious about her."You fools! She doesn't have any money at all. I can't believe you guys fell for her lies! You should be stripping her now if you have any brains! You might be able to earn more if you take a few naked photos of her and sell them to gossip magazines," mocked Wendy.Melody remained unfazed. "Ignore her. Switch to the card ending in 84 and see if there's any balance in there."Melody appeared completely calm, and the blonde followed her instructions to try a different card.…Lucas arrived earlier than the police did."The helicopter landing noise is too loud. It'll attract the kidnappers' attention if we land near this abandoned building.""Mister Lucas, we're preparing to land now."They chose an open space a bit farther from the two buildings. Although it was nearly a mile away from the abandoned building, it was still the best option.Lucas grunted and lowered his ice-cold gaze. "I'm not sure how many kid

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
