Eventually, Roland was nothing more than a convenient tool for Tracy.Lucas packed them up and sent them to the police station. The police officers who had dealt with them before were shocked. How could a film crew repeatedly encounter such incidents?This time, they even attempted to take someone's life.Listening to Tracy's motives and methods was enough to send shivers down one's spine. It was hard to imagine she could be so ruthless toward fellow actresses all for her selfish desires.Even in front of the police officers, she showed no remorse.Seeing her attitude, the officer in charge of the interrogation knew this would be a tough battle. On the other hand, Roland—who seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown—seemed easier to handle.Lucas sat outside, waiting for the outcome. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He might have never been at ease regarding Melody's safety if they had not captured Tracy."Miss Tracy, why did you suddenly go to your dressing roo

'Hmph! Roland promised that no matter what I asked for, he'd fulfill it unconditionally. Now, not only does he resent me, but he gave me up to the police! Is this what he calls love?' thought Tracy vehemently.It seemed to her that she could only trust herself in the world.Tracy curled up in a corner and hugged her legs, waiting for the final verdict on her fate.As Lucas stepped out of the car, the president of Brightstar Entertainment rushed over and greeted him obsequiously. "Mister Lucas, hello, hello! Your reputation precedes you, and I'm so glad I finally get to meet you!"Lucas remained expressionless, nodding slightly. "Hello, Mister Digby. It's quite unfortunate to meet under these circumstances. I wish we could've met each other for a better reason, rather than..."Lucas lowered his head subtly, and Digby Townsend immediately understood.Who in their right mind would want to go against Lucas from Rivera Group? Besides, it was not like Tracy had brought much profit to t

Tracy was not being polite in her words and tone, and she had already put Digby in a bad mood. She seemed to overestimate her importance as just a small actress."Mister Digby, how can you abandon me at a time like this? When I signed the contract, it was clear that I could bring so much profit and value to the company. My fan base has increased a lot, can't you see that? You can't treat me like this!" Tracy protested.Digby leaned in slightly toward Tracy. "Of course, I can treat you like this. You're just one of many actresses under my management. Yes, your fan base has grown relatively quickly among new talents, but you're still nothing compared to Melody."You and Melody started together at the same time, yet she had so many more fans than you. Plus, your fans are surely going to abandon you once they find out what you did. Don't even think they'll still blindly follow you forever after this."Digby patted his coat, unwilling to engage in further conversation with the crazy wom

'Was it merely because Melody had more fans and held the female lead role that Tracy harbored murderous intentions? Would eliminating Melody ensure Tracy's perpetual success?'Lucas frowned tightly. After Tracy confessed, he would have to go back and deliver the news to Melody.Despite Tracy's initial denial, in the face of overwhelming evidence, she eventually admitted to her wrongdoing."I did it out of jealousy. I'm just as good as her when it comes to our looks and acting skills, so why does she get to be the female lead? Would she still have been the female lead if she didn't have the backing of the Rivera family? She might not have so many fans if she wasn't the female lead!"The officers were surprised by Tracy's deep-seated obsession with Melody. She would inevitably grit her teeth whenever Melody's name was mentioned. She continued to shift the blame onto others, hating Melody to the bone.Still, even if Melody did not get the female lead role, it would never have been Tr

Thalia had never flown alone on a plane. Her health condition made her uncomfortable during flights, and friends and family had always tried to dissuade her from flying. All that, and she surprisingly flew back on her own.How could she risk her own health like that?Thalia felt a slight sense of relief when she finally heard the concern in Lucas' voice."Lucas, I thought you didn't care about me at all! Quinn has some urgent matters, so I came alone. Aren't you going to pick me up at the airport? It's been so long since I returned to the city, and I have no idea how to find you..."Lucas' frown deepened. He could not understand why Thalia would do something so risky. What if something had happened to her?"Stay where you are. I'll come over right away."Lucas quickly drove to the airport. He was worried that something could have happened to Thalia while he was on his way there. It would be disastrous if she failed to seek help in an unfamiliar place.As Lucas got out of the car

"Melody is still in the hospital, so I need to take care of her there. If you want to take a rest, I can drop you off first and then go to the hospital later," said Lucas hesitantly.Thalia's expression suddenly turned blank.Lucas instinctively thought that it might not be the best time for Melody and Thalia to meet.Thalia bit her lip, thinking, 'That Melody again! Lucas has excused himself more than once because of her! Let's just see what's so great about her!'Suddenly, Thalia broke into a wide smile. "Oh, so it's Melody. I remember now. I haven't met her yet. How about you take me to visit her together?"Seeing Lucas still hesitating, Thalia gave him a little push. "Take it as I want to be friends with Melody. We're probably around the same age. I don't have many friends here, so it'll be wonderful if I can get along with Melody. Plus, it's only polite to visit someone who's unwell."Seeing how sincere Thalia was, Lucas decided to agree to her request. They first went to th

"Sorry, Melody. I know my visit's a bit sudden, but as Lucas' good friend, I couldn't just sit back knowing you're unwell without coming to see you! Lucas, hurry and show Melody the gifts I bought for her!"Thalia nudged Lucas, and he—seeming to snap out of a daze—handed the gifts to Melody."Melody, it's our first meeting, and I didn't have time to prepare a proper gift. I picked out two things at the mall, thinking they might be useful for you. Hope they come in handy," continued Thalia.Melody felt a sting from Thalia and Lucas' familiar interactions. She lowered her eyes and forced a smile. "Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts, but you didn't have to bring me anything. I have everything I need here."Thalia looked around before nodding. "You're right. You have everything here. Lucas has always been generous and takes care of those around him. I'm glad he's taking good care of you as well. But these gifts are also a gesture from me, so please accept them, Melody."I hope you

"Lucas! Where are you going?"Thalia chased after Lucas, but she failed to keep him in the end. She stomped as she watched him get further away from her.The influence Melody had on Lucas was not to be underestimated....Melody closed her eyes and pulled the blanket over herself. In this confined space, she finally found some sense of security.'Forget it, I might as well pretend none of this happened. Those heart-pounding moments were like a dream, and forgetting everything will be the best choice,' thought Melody to herself.All of a sudden, the blanket over her head was lifted."Are you out of your mind? Do you want to suffocate yourself?"Melody's pupils shrank. She could not understand why Lucas suddenly returned. Her eyes darted around at realizing he had caught her in a sorry state."Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to accompany Thalia home?"Lucas did not know how to answer Melody's question. He could not bear to leave Melody alone in the hospital, even though

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
