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

"Heh. You're just a substitute, you know?"Although she did not want to mention that woman, Thalia willingly took out the photo to hurt Melody."Help me out one more time, sister."…After Thalia and Quinn were sent away, Melody felt relieved and went straight back to the bedroom. When she laid on the bed, Lucas followed her and walked in with a glass of milk."Finally, some good rest. I'm so tired…"Lucas sat next to her. "Sorry. We won't let others come to our home without permission next time. I do not know how they found out about this address.""Forget it. I am not angry with you."Melody did not want to talk about Thalia. Her mind had always been either preoccupied with work, or wary about having her photos taken by other people whenever she went out. Thus, unless she had to go out for classes, she would stay at home most of the time.Comment by Bella Ash: I am a bit confused about this. Could this be re-translated?Comment by Ziyu Lew: Okay sure, I am at work, will rever

"Is this Thalia? Why is her photo here?"Lucas frowned too.Melody felt disconcerted. These were the only people here today. Besides Thalia, who would put her photo under her pillow?Lucas was about to take away the photo, but Melody stopped him. "Hey, wait, let me look at this photo again. Why does she not look like Thalia somehow?"She frowned and looked at the photo carefully. The photo was a few years old, and even the plastic parts were cracked."Look, the girl in the photo has a mole on her side, but Thalia doesn't have one. Are you sure this is Thalia?"Lucas also came closer and nodded firmly, "This is her sister."Melody was startled, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. Thalia's sister was the girl who died for Lucas…How she wanted to know Lucas from long ago. How she wished it was her who experienced those things with him.It was a pity that all this had been doomed for a long time.Lucas quickly changed the topic. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.

Just as Melody was deep in her memories, Lucas pinched her chin. "What's wrong? Don't think of other men when you're with me."Melody burst into laughter. "Georgie is fifty years old now! Do you even want to be jealous of him?"Lucas did not care so much, but Melody was thinking about another man when he sat right in front of her!"Okay, let's not talk about other people's affairs. Let's rest now. We have to go for dance practice tomorrow."Lucas knew Melody's itinerary better than anyone else.Sure enough, as soon as she heard that training would continue tomorrow, she laid down. Although she wanted to deliver perfect performances to her fans, it was really hard to spend every day in the practice room.…Lucas did not take Thalia's antics lightly. The next day, he went straight to the house that Thalia rented."Who is it? So rude to intrude early in the morning..." Quinn muttered, still suffering from jet lag at the moment. She could not sleep every night and could not wake up

"There is no need for that," he said dismissively. "I'm just here to tell you to not play these little tricks anymore. I value our long-time friendship, which is why I am speaking to you politely now."Keep at it, and you'll lose my friendship."Without turning back, Lucas got into the elevator button without even giving Thalia a chance to explain."Lucas! Lucas, wait!"No matter how loud Thalia shouted, he never looked back.Seeing him walking away callously, Thalia threw the breakfast she was holding toward the door."That stupid Melody has to go!" Thalia's eyes were full of spiteful hatred.If it were not for Melody, Lucas would never be this indifferent to her. The woman must have said something to make him fall for her so wholeheartedly! Was she not up to par as Melody?How wonderful it was when the two of them were in Molomia.All of this was all the fault of that woman.After calming down, Thalia called Wendy. "Does what you said before still count?""Oh, you coward.

Melody showed up to her dance practice as scheduled. "Stop. Melody, wrong move again. What happened to you today? You seem absent-minded. If you are feeling tired, take a day off."In fact, you already memorized your moves. We scheduled this practice just so you could familiarize yourself.""I'm sorry," apologized Melody sheepishly, "I'm probably just out of it a little.""No big deal. Do you want to go back now? Of course, Mister Lucas hasn't come yet..."Melody put on her coat, said goodbye to the choreographer, and prepared to leave. "Don't worry. I'll let him know."There were some things she needed to clarify with Thalia in person.…Thalia was surprised when he received Melody's call, with a playful smile on her face. "Oh? You came to see me?""Well, you placed the photo under my pillow that day. Was it not just to make me come to you?" she said coldly. "Lucas is not with me, so there is no need for you to pretend now.""Oh, stop jumping to conclusions. That photo is j

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
