"There's no one more ungrateful than Melody. Wendy has always treated her well when they were kids, and now she turns around and stabs her own family in the back?!"Ethan, unlike his earlier stance of staying out of Melody's affairs, stood up and headed to the room upon hearing Wendy was in trouble. He needed to change clothes to go bail out his precious daughter.Helen followed him silently. 'Couldn't that stubborn girl stay out of trouble? Why did she keep getting into so much trouble?'Helen frowned, feeling tired of all the trouble Melody brought into their lives. She had already been through a lot in this family, and Melody's repeated antics were just adding to her frustration.…When Melody opened her eyes, they were already near the police station."Are you up? We need to give a statement," said Lucas softly, reaching out to brush her hair from her forehead."Yeah, okay..." Melody's gaze shifted as she nodded. She knew she had to cooperate with the police investigation.

"A middle-aged couple are arguing with the police. They're insisting that their daughter didn't commit any crime and demanding her release," replied Edmund.Lucas, feeling annoyed, put his hand on Melody's shoulder and tried to steer her forward. He wanted to leave the scene as quickly as possible.Melody did not pay much attention to their conversation, but before they could take a few steps, a woman rushed toward them."So you're here too, you troublesome girl! Is it not enough for you to cause trouble for us when you were still living at home? Now you have to frame your sister, too? You're the reason she's being detained by the police? Is it too much to ask you to stop causing trouble for us?"The woman was none other than Helen. Ethan followed a few steps behind, and his face contorted in rage as well when he saw Melody."Melody, you worthless piece of sh*t! It's bad enough that you don't listen to us, but what has Wendy ever done to you? Why are you doing this to her? Her lif

Lucas frowned. He was about to say something, but Melody gently stopped him by shaking her head. She then turned coldly to face Helen and Ethan."Yes, I've met a wealthy man, and that's why I don't think of you two as my parents anymore. Don't forget, we severed our ties long ago. You've already taken three million dollars from me, so you two have no right to stand here and lecture me!""Why you!" Ethan could not believe Melody would be so ungrateful. He erupted in anger. "No wonder you're so arrogant now, Melody. You found a stupid man outside to support you! Let me tell you: it's fine if you don't have any sense of shame, but you should not ruin our family's reputation! Now you've even landed your sister in jail. What are your intentions? Is it that you want to destroy our family completely?"Helen quickly placed a hand on his chest to soothe him. "Honey, don't get worked up. It's not worth ruining your health for this ungrateful girl."She then turned back to glare at Melody, re

The police officers were used to dealing with people who cause trouble without reason. They continued with their tasks, paying no attention to her."And who does that arrogant b*stard think he is?! I don't care if he's the mafia boss; he shouldn't be allowed to act so brazenly here! What gives him the right to have people restrain us? Where is he? I'm going to report this!"Helen's continued yelling disrupted everyone, prompting a police officer to come and address the situation."Ma'am, if I were you, I wouldn't talk about Mister Lucas like that. I don't think the consequences are something you can bear."The officer's stern tone left Helen and Ethan intimidated.Helen snorted. "And just who is Mister Lucas?""Hah! You don't know who Mister Lucas is? He's the well-known president of Rivera Group in the business world! Just so you know, except for the police station, all the properties in this area belong to their company. Even the place you live in might be developed by his comp

Melody chuckled bitterly.Lucas felt a pang in his heart. It was an indescribable sensation. There were times when the human heart was simply inexplicable. Before meeting Melody, he could hardly fathom the existence of a mother who did not love her own child."Wendy did such terrible things to me, and they never once asked. They only care about her. Why is that? Or maybe I'm just too worthless, so even though I'm my mom's biological daughter, she doesn't like me. It's really exhausting..."Melody let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes, as if drifting off to sleep. No one but her knew how she wept over her fate. Lucas did not immediately comfort her. Instead, he looked at her with eyes filled with complexity.From a very young age, Melody understood that tears only held meaning when shed in front of someone who cared about her. Wendy only had to cry a little for Helen to immediately put aside whatever she was doing to comfort her.There was one time when Melody missed a step on

Lucas stood up immediately, his body casting a shadow over Melody."Take off your coat. Let me see if there's any injury," said Lucas with a pure and unwavering gaze.Melody blushed instantly. "Uh, no need for that. I'm totally fine…"Lucas looked at her with a hint of disbelief as he knew how strong-willed she could be. He had seen the kind of people her parents were.Growing up in such a family, Melody had learned to hide all her pain as even getting hurt was seen as a nuisance by them.This made Lucas feel even more concerned."Listen to me." Lucas' hand rested on Melody's shoulder, his tone gentler than usual but still assertive. His actions were firm, leaving no room for opposition.Melody continued to resist him, anxious to the point where her neck turned red."No, it's okay. I'm not injured. I already explained in the car, didn't I? I managed to divert the three thug's attention with money when they were about to attack me. To get the remaining money, they didn't even to

Melody grumbled.Lucas nodded. "Then don't use perfume. I like this scent on you," said Lucas.Melody rolled her eyes and tugged at her clothes.Lucas, distracted, was caught off-guard and stumbled when she pulled, causing both of them to fall onto the sofa."Ouch—"Lucas quickly covered Melody's head to protect her, but his own palm grazed against the armrest."Melody, you're back! What happened? Why won't you two tell us anything?" Beatrice's voice came from the doorway.Before the two could react, she anxiously pushed the door open."Grandma?!"Melody, pressed beneath Lucas, tried to get up in a bit of panic, but Lucas remained motionless.Their actions were extremely ambiguous, especially considering that Melody's clothes were torn. She nudged Lucas' chest."Quick, get up! Grandma is here!""Hi, Grandma," called out Lucas absent-mindedly.Beatrice smiled in coy satisfaction."Oh, my! You two lovebirds continue. I'm not an old-fashioned person. I'll ask you later when

Lucas assumed that Melody was exhausted after the fright she had, combined with the threats from her parents. Without giving it much thought, he let her go. However, he could not help but frown as he watched her walk away.Melody finally felt safe once immersed in the water. Her entire body relaxed.She was dog-tired throughout the day. The distance between her and Lucas was not only a matter of the contractual agreement but also her family issues. Who would not want their wife to have a normal family?She could not even achieve this most basic aspect.'How gentle Lucas' grandparents are to him,' she thought.Although they would sometimes lecture him, it was out of care and genuine feelings.Melody never experienced that from her family. She was pleasantly surprised when after serving her some food, Beatrice looked after her expectantly, hoping she would enjoy the food.She did not know whether Beatrice had noticed her surprise, but the look in her eyes toward her carried a hint

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
