Melody smiled softly. "I'm glad I could help everyone."Although some people were simply taking advantage of Melody's guidance, where there was one, there was usually another. Through these interactions, people began to get to know Melody more, and they discovered that her aloof appearance did not match her true nature at all.Many people's impressions of Melody changed subtly over time, and she found solace in being treated kindly by others. As for what Shaun said about 'taking advantage' or anything like that, she could not care less. She enjoyed acting as well as other aspects of filmmaking.She might have considered working behind the scenes if it were not for her greater passion for the big screen. Bringing stories to life through live-action filming and then projecting them onto the big screen involved every aspect from acting to directing, and each person played a crucial role in shaping the final presentation of the film. Just like a screw on an assembly line, it took everyo

"Oh, don't worry! I may not have learned the other skills. but I am pretty good at these two things. After all, you had always treated me this way since I was a kid, right?"Helen was conscious that she had not been good enough to her biological daughter. Before coming, she thought that if Melody had a better attitude, Helen would try to make up for her mistakes appropriately.She did not expect such an attitude from Melody."It wasn't easy for your father and me to raise you, and this is the thanks we get?"Melody smiled coldly. "Are you expecting me to repay the favor? I'm sorry, but I've severed all ties with you. From that day when I left with my suitcase, we're no longer related."I do not understand why you are saying these now. However, I don't have as much free time as you do. If you have nothing to do, please feel free to go to the kitchen and cook more dishes. Might as well make your husband and daughter happy. I'll be going now."After all, the makeup artist awaited he

Mister Shaun was livid. It was as if he was about to eat someone alive."Where did you come from, murderer? You claimed to be Melody's mother? Even if you are, you shouldn't cause trouble in my crew!"Besides, you were aiming to kill her! Is a person like you worthy of being called a mother?"Arrest her! Take her to the police station, and let the police officers question this person! How could she be Melody's mother?"The director was fuming. He did not know Helen's identity all that much, but his tone was brutal.Helen should not have assaulted Melody just because she claimed to be her mother.He did not learn about Melody's background, and he never expected that she had such a mother.Lucas arrived faster before the ambulance did. If he had not remembered Melody's advice to him to abide by the laws, he might have been going through those red lights and speeding all the way here.As soon as he arrived at the set, he slammed the car door and hurried over.His heart wrenched w

Operations in the set were going according to plan, and Melody only went over to take a look because she heard that her mother was coming.How could her mother assault her with the thermos flask? Would she be able to escape from legal consequences just because she was Melody's mother? Would it be possible?Helen was struggling on the way to the police station. "You can't arrest me. I'm her mother! I'm educating my daughter. Which law have I violated?"A female police officer was very impatient and said, “It's because of mothers like you that there are so many unfortunate children. Do you really think that you can do anything to your daughter just because you're her mother?"You hit your daughter's head with a thermos flask. If anything, you tried to kill her!"They had seen a fair share of domestic issues at the police station, but this was the first time they encountered such a vicious mother. They could not stand to see it, let alone inflicted upon Melody.…Wendy never expect

What on earth had she been doing all these years? In the end, Helen had no choice but to call Ethan.When Ethan heard that the other person was a police officer, he immediately lost his temper while he was still in the office."Officer, could you hand over the phone to Helen, my wife? I have something to say to her."Ethan tried her best to suppress his anger. When he heard Helen's submissive voice from the other side of the phone, he exploded. "Are you stupid?! Why did you go to that damn girl Melody when you had nothing to do?""I… I didn't come here on my own volition. Wendy sent me here!"Helen felt convicted. She had given so much to this family, but in the end, both Wendy and Ethan felt that she was a burden."How old is Wendy, and how old are you? You're already old! Can't you tell the difference between right and wrong? Did I not remind you not to go to Melody when you were at home yesterday?"We've severed ties with Melody, so why on earth are you still looking for her?

"Is there any reason why you can't show up?"Ethan said nothing. He just felt ashamed to have to go to the police station at such an old age. He would be so embarrassed if anyone caught him at the station. The police officer mused how dysfunctional their family dynamic was."Okay, fine. Your call."Meanwhile, after Lucas sent Melody to the hospital, the hospital quickly treated the wound on the back of Melody's head. Fortunately, it was nothing fatal."Doctor, why is Melody still unconscious?"The doctor said to Lucas earnestly, "Mister Lucas, when Miss Melody was admitted to the hospital previously, I told you to pay attention to her mental well-being. Don't you remember?"I don't major in psychology, you see. I know that Miss Melody's wound isn't serious, so if she hasn't woken up yet, it can only be due to her mental health. Although Miss Melody looks very optimistic and positive, she may have a serious trauma."The doctor had mentioned Melody's mental state to Lucas more t

Thalia looked for Lucas the first thing after she woke up. She grabbed a nurse in the ward and asked, "Where is Lucas?"She sounded bratty, and the nurse felt a little uncomfortable.However, it was the nurse's job to take care of the patients, so she had to answer patiently, "Mister Lucas has been gone since last night. He wanted you to have a good rest. He'll come over when he is done with work."Thalia knew that these were just excuses. She waved her hand impatiently. "Go away; don't let me see you.""Mister Lucas asked me to take care of you..."Thalia's face darkened. "Am I the boss, or are you? Just leave when I tell you to, and do not talk so much. I'll call you when I need you."The nurse had no choice but to leave the ward.After closing the door, she sighed. Yet another difficult patient.Fortunately, Lucas gave her a generous salary. No matter how much she complained, she would never give up this job.…Since Thalia had woken up, she secretly planned her next steps

Moreover, Tasha screwed herself in a most spectacularly foolish way. She did not even think about hiding her tracks!She had offended someone, and it would be difficult to salvage no matter how hard she tried. Thalia thought that she must extricate herself from this matter.It would also be best for her to take the opportunity to turn around Lucas' impression of her."Remember what I said, and you do as I say. Otherwise, I really won't be able to save you. That is all."Tasha looked flustered after hearing Thalia's words. "Is it really okay to follow as you say? I've already offended that woman...""It is up to you whether you want to do it or not. Mark my words."…Leah York had indeed handed over the matter to a lawyer. She had never met someone who dared to blatantly provoke her.Obviously, the person was openly challenging Leah. She was violating her privacy. What could she do to her?However, Leah did not expect that the day after she said she wanted to sue Tasha, Tasha w

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
