"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

Thalia was obviously taken aback. "Are you kidding me? Or have you received some new script?""Why so hesitant? I'm just asking you how your sister died," said Melody. "Why are you panicking?"Or is it that you know that your sister didn't die because of Lucas, and you're afraid that after the truth is discovered, you won't be able to guilt trip the Rivera family to take responsibility for your life?"Thalia muttered, "Crazy woman. Does Lucas know you're so suspicious of my sister?"Ah, no wonder you came to see me today without telling him. If Lucas knew you were a lunatic, he would definitely break up with you!"Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, Thalia's fists were already tightly grasped under the table.Why did Melody suddenly ask her this question?No one had ever doubted the cause of her sister's death in so many years, even the photo that was placed under her pillow that night.So many years had passed, and no one would ever find out about this.She kept

"I'm still jet-lagged. You asked me to come back just to help you get your Lucas back, didn't you? Judging by the way that he was flirting with Melody just now, does it look like he'll change his mind and be with you?"I've advised you not to be so adamant, but if you still refuse to listen to me now, you'll regret it sooner or later..."Thalia straightened herself, her expression so bitter that Quinn stopped.“You said there's no man you can't seduce, didn't you? Why is it not the case for Lucas, huh? If you can't help me at all, then you might as well go back to Molomia. Anyway, you're not afraid of being hunted down by the mafia boss' daughter, are you?" Thalia said calmly as if she really did not care about Quinn's life or death.She never kept useless people around, not even her good friends. If it were not for the fact that Quinn said that she could help Thalia, Thalia would never have taken the trouble.In Molomia, the various forces were complicated. It was not a good idea

"Think about it. Have you done anything that made Lucas feel disgusted? What would happen to Melody if she did such a thing? He hates evil the most, and he will hate her for it..."It suddenly dawned on Thalia, and she smiled."It seems that you do have skills. Since you already have an idea, then think about what I should do." Thalia patted Quinn's shoulder. "I want an answer by tomorrow."She got up and returned to her room, leaving Quinn alone behind her and shouting helplessly, "Hey, you can't rush this!"However, Thalia did not care so much. She could not stand to see Melody next to Lucas for another day.Rather than forcing the two of them apart, it would be better for Lucas to gradually dislike Melody.Quinn was right about one thing: men were visual animals, and longevity was not their strength.…Beatrice was pleased to observe the relationship between Melody and Lucas improving.Beatrice's eightieth birthday was coming up, so she thought about letting Melody and Luca

"I'm pretty sure Grandma will be able to tell you're the one who prepared the gift. She'll only think I didn't put enough effort into it."Melody did not mind giving Beatrice something she made herself, but such a gift might be considered too 'cheap' for her. After all, sincerity was considered the least valuable thing to people of high society.Melody must give something valuable and substantial to Beatrice to highlight her respect for her.Lucas leaned in and rubbed his cheek against Melody's, which was as tender as a baby's. He could not resist doing that, and when Melody got annoyed, she would lightly slap him on the face.The force was almost negligible, and Lucas would just continue doing what he wanted, leaving Melody alone to deal with her annoyance."Grandma will truly be upset if you start thinking like those people. I'm sure she'll love whatever you give her. But go ahead if you want to make something for her to show your sincerity."The Riveras had already reached a c

As the hostess, Melody returned to the Riveras' mansion early with Lucas and changed into a suitable gown. Her gown perfectly accentuated her graceful figure without being overly revealing, giving her an air of nobility and elegance.Lucas was very pleased to see the gown he personally chose being worn by Melody."May I have the honor of inviting you to dance?" asked Lucas with a smile.Blushing, Melody extended her hand and lifted her face, appearing as elegant as a swan. "Of course," she replied.The two of them danced back and forth in the room. When Lucas firmly held Melody in his arms, he finally felt a sense of security and was reluctant to let go of her hand.It was only when the housekeeper knocked on the door to urge them that Lucas let go of Melody.Before going downstairs, Lucas looked at Melody and asked, "Are you nervous?"Strangely, Melody was nervous before, turning her hands and feet cold, but after the dance with Lucas, she did not seem so afraid anymore.It di

Everything was not going smoothly for Quinn, especially when she was being forced to depend on others. Quinn wanted to leave, but a woman was waiting to capture her back in Molomia. Thus, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and stay in New Capital City.Beatrice put her arm around Melody's back and led her to the spotlight."This is my granddaughter-in-law, Melody. She's a very kind girl, so we've been keeping her relationship with Lucas a secret to protect her. But I'm sure everyone has been keeping up with the gossip about our family recently!"Beatrice's joke elicited laughter from the guests. Indeed, both Lucas and Melody had been hitting the headlines frequently lately. In fact, even before the news about Lucas and Melody broke out, Melody was already a frequent feature on the trending topics list. There was not one person in the room who did not know who Melody was."As for those online gossips, just take them with a grain of salt. The reason why I introduced Melody ri

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
