The production crew seemed hesitant as the decision to grant or deny leave was not entirely in their hands."You should talk to Mister Shaun about this. Today's filming schedule is already quite demanding, especially considering you're in most of the scenes..."Stella nodded and went in search of Mister Shaun while secretly cursing the production crew. 'That worthless piece of sh*t! He talks big most of the time, but he doesn't even have the authority to give me a day off.'Shaun, upon hearing her request, did not look pleased either. However, he reluctantly waved when he saw sweat streaming down her red, swollen face. Her anxiety could not be any more obvious."Alright, go ahead. We'll rearrange the schedule. But don't make this a habit. We won't ever finish shooting the movie if everyone comes asking me for a leave."Stella nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to embellish her lie. "Don't worry, Mister Shaun. I'll come back here once I've settled the emergency. I'm really sorry for

Stella clenched her fist.All of a sudden, she burst into laughter. She walked up to Wendy with a creepy smile."How naive you are. Do you really think anyone would dare to report on me without my permission? On the contrary, you should worry about yourself, given your current situation."Stella crossed her arms and looked down condescendingly at Wendy.She did not want to take things too far, since Wendy could still be useful to her in getting rid of Melody. However, she did not expect Wendy to be stupid enough to threaten her with something so trivial. It was so absurd that she found it downright amusing.Stella would not possibly let Wendy off the hook when she so naively put herself up for slaughter."What do you want?! My family is innocent. Aren't you afraid that I'll expose you for the evil person that you are?"Wendy's eyes widened. She did not care that much about her family, but at the moment, it was the only thing she could depend on. She would truly have nothing left

"Don't get too close. Just make sure we don't lose sight of the car in front of us," instructed Melody.Melody had wondered if she was being overly cautious after being frightened by those thugs. Maybe Stella was just in a bad mood this morning. However, all her doubts vanished when she saw Stella turning into the police station.'What could this scheming woman need to do at the police station?' wondered Melody. She had no idea how Stella got in touch with Wendy.'Ugh, that stupid Wendy! She's so easily manipulated. I bet Stella only had to say a few words for her to get rid of me!'Melody sat quietly in the car, organizing her thoughts. 'Only Lucas and some of the crew members knew I was going to the bookstore yesterday… So how did those three thugs know I'll be there?'She found it difficult to believe that the three thugs could kidnap her without any of the crew members telling them where she would be.'So the question is, who leaked the information?' she asked herself.It wa

Melody exuded a confident aura, standing there in her high heels.Stella, who was usually assertive and commanding, felt uneasy in her presence and unconsciously took a step back.Melody took the first strike. She smiled and said, "Miss Stella, what are you doing in a place like this? I heard you're scheduled to shoot your scenes this morning, right?"Melody seemed completely oblivious to Stella's unease.Stella tucked her hair behind her ear nervously. "I... I just happened to pass by here, so I thought I'd take a look. Maybe it'll come in useful for the roles I'll be taking on in the future.""What could possibly lead someone to casually pass by the police station? Are you here to visit someone?"Melody wore a composed smile on her face, an expression that disgusted Stella. The more relaxed and self-satisfied Melody appeared, the more it fueled Stella's irritation."I'm an actress. Every experience could be useful to me, so what's wrong with me visiting the police station? Bes

Wendy thought it might be her father bringing a lawyer when she heard someone wanted to see her. She could not stand being in the police station for another day."Why did you take so long to come? Don't you know I'm locked up in here? Do you even still think of me as your daughter? Why don't you seem worried at all?!" shouted Wendy.Wendy, frustrated about being locked up, did not expect to see an exquisitely dressed Melody standing at the door. With just a glance, she could tell that her outfit was pricey.She and her colleagues had seen the same outfit many times on the official webstore, but it remained quietly in their shopping carts since they could not afford it.'That man must've bought it for her! Ugh, how infuriating!' thought Wendy."What are you doing here? Have you come to flaunt the fact that you've found a good man?" asked Wendy with a sneer."Why would you think that? When have I ever flaunted anything in front of you? It's always been you showing off the new cloth

Wendy remained silent, but her expression conveyed that she would not fall for Melody's tricks."Who's locked up in the police station again? Wendy, I'm the one pressing charges against you. Understand? If you want a lighter sentence, you better tell me the truth!" said Melody.Wendy slammed the table angrily, earning a warning look from the nearby police officer."Do you think I'm stupid? I wouldn't be sitting here if it weren't for you pressing charges against me! All of this is because of you, Melody. I'm going to make you pay if it's the last thing I do! Curse you, Melody! Curse you!" Wendy exclaimed in frustration.Melody found her quite amusing. "What goes around comes around. Karma's only a b*tch if you're one, Wendy. But it's not too late to get some good karma for yourself."I'll give you one more chance. Who are you working for? You're not part of our film crew, so how could you possibly know my whereabouts that day? Not to mention, get the thugs to kidnap me on my way h

Meanwhile…A scream shattered the tranquility on the set.Tracy Mullins had just put on the shoes provided by the crew when she discovered something inside them."What's wrong, Miss Tracy?"The surrounding crew members quickly gathered around as Tracy frowned, appearing to be in considerable pain."There's something in the shoes..." She weakly pointed at the pair of shoes.She carefully lifted her foot to examine it and discovered a small hole had been punctured through her sole, causing her foot to bleed.The crew members turned the shoe upside down and tapped it lightly, and a thumbtack fell out."My! What's this thumbtack doing in there? The shoes were fine when I last checked them!"Tracy's assistant quickly brought alcohol to disinfect the wound for her. The discovery of the thumbtack in the shoes of the second female lead could not be a mere accident.This news quickly spread across the set, and Mister Shaun frowned when he heard it."Mister Shaun, I'm really sorry for

Shaun said nothing. Instead, he instructed someone to contact Melody and ask her to return to the set promptly."Why are you still giving her a chance, Mister Shaun? You should just get her arrested. We shouldn't keep a culprit like her in our set."The person who said that never got along with Melody. She was close with Stella and despised women like Melody who relied on men.Shaun glanced at her coldly and did not take her word to heart."Shut up, will you? We should handle things like this internally. Think of the scandal it'll cause if we call the police over. We'll never get to finish shooting the movie then!" said the person who was standing next to her quietly."I'm just afraid that the culprit will become bolder in the future. What if they put thumbtacks in my shoes? Who knows how crazy this woman is."...Melody left the police station with a frown. Before she got into her car, she received a call from the film crew."Hello?""Miss Melody, where are you now? Something

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
