The news of Lucas appearing with Melody caused a sensation online, and social media users never expected that the first time they would see Lucas' face clearly would be in this kind of entertainment news.'Shouldn't Lucas only be in the financial news?' thought many people with shock.[Has Rivera Group's stock price dropped? If I had a wife like Melody, I wouldn't have the focus to go to work at all!][Hahaha, that shows little you haters know. Sorry to tell you, but Rivera Group's stock price not only didn't drop but actually rose. The eyes of the public are clear. Melody is starring in the blockbuster of the year. Who wouldn't want to see her movie? There are also other big projects in the works, so you'll only make a profit if you invest in Rivera Group right now!]Fans began to take the opportunity to promote Melody. They had become indomitable after weathering through the previous two scandals with Melody.As long as others did not attack Melody, her fans would promote her un

The female choreographer was impressed that Melody could memorize the moves so quickly and dance along with them."Melody, you're a prodigy! Was it really three years ago that you last practiced dancing?"Flustered, Melody tied her hair up. Her hair was somewhat in her way when she danced. "Yes, it's been three years.""Color me impressed! I have been practicing for so many years, but I may not even be as good as you, who haven't danced in three years, in certain areas."Even though dancing was a skill that might deteriorate without persistent practice, some people were just born so talented that they only had to practice a little bit to regain muscle memory. Melody was exactly that.When she was very young, Helen hired a choreographer for her. She also laid the foundation for flexibility at that time. Unfortunately, a lot of things happened, and she never got to pursue it any further. The last time she danced was three years ago when she participated in a school activity.As she

"That's that for today. There are only a few sessions left. You just need to make sure to memorize the movements. No need for intensive training.""Alright, I have remembered everything. I've also reserved a ticket for you. It will be my pleasure to have you in the audience!"Melody smiled and waved goodbye to the excited choreographer. After all, Melody's meet and greet tickets were highly sought after and sold out.It was really thoughtful of Melody to have reserved a ticket for her choreographer.She watched as Lucas and Melody left. Lucas put a coat over Melody's shoulders considerately before Melody walked out of the room."Put on the coat. You might catch a cold if you step into the wind after sweating."Melody reached out and put on her coat. She approached Lucas and softly asked, "Did I dance okay?"For some reason, Lucas blushed when she got close. "Yes…you did.""No way." Melody's eyes widened in surprise. "Why are you blushing?"She had never seen such an expression

"What an attitude. Shouldn't you welcome your guests as a host? Plus, Thalia has been Lucas' childhood sweetheart for so long. You're so petty."Melody only showed a slight smirk. She was happy to appear petty. Who said that one had to smile when they greet the guests? It depended on whether the guests deserved her hospitality."I'm sorry, I just naturally don't like to smile. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Melody raised her chin, indicating for Thalia to introduce the person next to her."Oh, this is a good friend I've known in Molomia for many years. This time, she's come just to stay with me for a bit. I have told Lucas before that we'll meet. Maybe he forgot to tell you. We've discussed this, so I brought Quinn to your place."Thalia was implying that she was still in touch with Lucas, but that did not fool Melody.Lucas had been by her side these days, almost never leaving her. It was impossible for them to meet in private.Moreover, what did it matter if they had met? At

Moreover, Thalia was obsessed with Lucas. This meant she would never allow Quinn to have inappropriate thoughts about him.Lucas merely nodded out of courtesy. He shook her hand gently and let go.Quinn whimpered softly as if she was excited.Thalia was a little unhappy to see this and frowned slightly. After Quinn caught her sight, she pursed her lips.Lucas took Melody to prepare food. Since everyone was here, they could not just turn them away.When the two of them were out of sight, Thalia pulled Quinn aside and asked, "What was that?""What do you mean? I didn't mean anything."Thalia sneered contemptuously. "We've known each other for so many years. Do you still want to pretend in front of me? I saw in your eyes how you wanted to seduce him."Thalia was not particularly quiet when she spoke. Although Lucas' house was big enough, there was no guarantee that the two of them would not hear these words in the kitchen.It was rare, but Quinn's face turned red. "How can you sa

Lucas became someone else's husband, all thanks to the woman in front of him.Thalia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.Quinn came forward again at this time. "I didn't expect that the dignified Mister Lucas would cook. This is surprising. Don't you think so, Thalia?"Quinn pinched Thalia's shoulder and reminded her not to be too rude. Otherwise, they might not even get into the house next time.Thalia took a deep breath. Even though she had to force it, she managed to squeeze out a smile."Yeah, I'm just a little surprised. Why didn't you hire a domestic helper, a maid? That way, you two may have more leisure time. Miss Melody has to go filming on weekdays, and Lucas also has to go to work. If you hire a helper, you'll all be liberated and won't have to spend time on such trivial matters."Lucas and Melody looked at each other and smiled. It was precisely because they were busy with their own careers on weekdays. Whenever they got together, the quality time was particular

"Well, take care," said Lucas casually.Thalia's eyes stung with tears. She knew that Lucas had always cared about her, but because of Melody, he could not show it in front of others. For so many years, he prioritized her above all. She believed that even Melody's presence could not change this fact."I will, don't worry, Lucas. I'll take care of myself even if you're not around."Melody continued to eat the food Lucas served for her, pretending she did not hear what Thalia said.After Thalia finished eating, Lucas invited her to sit in the living room first.Before she left the table, Thalia gave her signal to Quinn. The two of them acted separately as they had agreed."Mister Lucas, how did you and Miss Melody meet? I find you a wonderful pair. One is a powerful CEO of a company, and the other is an influential emerging actress of the new generation," asked Quinn quickly, her eyes flashing. She was indeed somewhat interested.The two of them looked at each other, and Melody bl

Melody put down her bowl. She wanted to answer this question seriously. "Actually, no one can be sure who they'll spend the rest of their lives with."Lucas silently paid attention to listen to Melody's answer. He did not feel surprised to hear what she said. For Melody, emotional support had always been unreliable.She never experienced a sense of security from her biological parents. If her parents were not reliable, what more could Lucas, who was a complete stranger to her at first, be? Of course, they eventually fell in love.He did not feel uncomfortable. He just felt that he needed to give Melody more love so that she could gradually build a sense of security."Mister Lucas, do you think so too?" Quinn was surprised. She thought that star-crossed lovers like Lucas and Melody would never have such a sad outlook."I don't believe in forever, but I just know that I want to stay with her for as long as possible."The two of them looked at each other, and Melody blinked, "Do you

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
