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

Lucas just looked at Melody quietly. His loving gaze showed that he already knew everything.Melody closed her eyes in pain and croaked, "Don't look at me like this."She could not see the love in Lucas's eyes with her eyes closed, but she could feel his warm and strong hands on her forehead when he gently touched her forehead.He silently gave her strength."You think I'm pitiful, don't you?""None of this is your fault.""Oh, I know it's not my fault, but after living in that environment for more than twenty years, I cannot tell whose fault it is sometimes. In fact, my mother also just wants to get along better with her adopted daughter."She forgot about me and always tried to please Wendy, but she forgot that what she really cared about was her own daughter. At least give me some attention, too!"Melody opened her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She stared at Lucas as if trying to get an answer from him."Why did she not turn to look back at me, her biolo

"Why are you looking for me? You should be resting early."When she heard that Lucas still cared about her, Thalia covered her mouth and could not help but cry.She knew that although Lucas looked emotionally distant, his heart was warmer than anyone else. Even if he was angry with her, he was still willing to care for her, which meant that she still had a place in his heart.After affirming this, Thalia felt even more at ease.Thalia sniffed, which sounded particularly loud on this silent night."I'm fine. Although I am still a little dizzy now, I keep thinking about you and I do not dare to sleep until you agree.Lucas, are you still willing to be my friend?"Lucas said nothing."Don't worry, I have no other thoughts about you. After the last conversation, I do understand that after so many years, we've grown up, and a lot of things have happened. Although we keep in touch, in those days when we were not by each other's side, you've already met someone special. To you, that p

Hearing Thalia speak so pitifully and thinking of her dead sister, Lucas hesitated and said, "You can ask your friends to stay here at mine."We've got a lot of rooms, and Grandma actually likes company. As long as you stop being awkward with Melody, she won't make things difficult for you."Thalia was obviously touched by the idea but still felt apprehensive. "I won't make Melody angry, but would this be a good idea? You also know that Grandma has never liked me very much, and I'm now inviting my friend to live with her at home."Forget it, Grandma must be very unhappy."Lucas only asked her to think about it again and wait until her friend came over to ask for her friend's opinion.It was alright if she did not want to go home to live there. He had so many properties in his name, so he could just point to any place and let them live there.As for him and Melody, since Melody did not like crowds, he decided to find another property closer to Melody and take Melody there.

Helen had walked on this road forever, but she could never reach the end. It would have been better if she had given birth to a son.This thought once again overcame the guilt she felt toward Melody....Meanwhile, Leo and his team did not expect Tasha to be so rampant. Not only did she blatantly provoke the eldest daughter of the York family, but she also added fuel to the fire and slandered Melody.Obviously, they issued a lawyer's letter.Was she delusional? Otherwise, she would not have committed such a suicidal act, would she?Leo shook his head. It became increasingly clear to him what Tasha wanted to do.He could still understand the lies she made up online at first.Some people were unnoticed in the real world but were noticed online. Their ego would likely be extremely inflated in a short period, which would make them unable to control their own behavior and make up more stories online. Lots of lies.Tasha fitted this perfectly, especially since she was fired from the

"I'm Miss Melody's attorney, and we want to sue Miss Tasha Lynch for defaming the plaintiff online. It not only violated her privacy but also fabricated facts, causing damage to our client's reputation. We would like to present the following evidence…"Tasha looked horrified. Why were her bank card transactions so clearly listed as evidence? Her collusion with Thalia would be exposed, would it not?However, Tasha obviously over-thought it. She did not do anything after exposing it, but Thalia did not expose it.When the money was transferred to her, she transferred it through an unknown account abroad, and there was no trace of it at all."Defendant, please confirm, is this the transaction history of your bank card in the past few days?" the judge asked after taking a look.At this time, Tasha realized that all this was not as simple as she imagined. Even her lawyer was speechless when asked.This was a war without gunpowder, and before she was ready, she was already beaten to pi

Tasha regretted her mistake.Everything could only be blamed on her own greed. If she had just followed Thalia's request and stopped after publishing such remarks online, it would not have escalated to the point of being involved in a trial.…Thalia hung up the call and threw the phone aside mockingly. "She was blinded by her own greed. What does her desire to become an internet celebrity have anything to do with me?"Fortunately, she had made a plan and was able to remove herself from this matter.The last incident had already angered Lucas, so she had to stay low for the time being.If Lucas really did not want to develop further with her, she should just play the role of a little sister.However, she believed that Lucas still had a place for her in his heart, and it was just because there was an eyesore, Melody, beside him.Thalia had no idea what Melody did, but when she thought of Melody, Thalia could not help but feel hatred.However, she believed that Lucas would chang

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
