Wendy's words were harsh as if Thalia should shoulder all the blame. Thalia was understandably unhappy at the other end of the phone."You say that like it's an easy feat to accomplish. Do you think it's that easy to lure him away from that woman for a minute or two? Do you know how many bodyguards are around? They all had their eyes on me after that incident involving Beatrice! It's not easy for me to do something like that at this point in time. If you fail, then I'll become the prime suspect. I've already sacrificed a lot in case you didn't know."Wendy was irritated. "I never would've considered teaming up with you if you hadn’t come to me and suggested that! If you're so indecisive and hesitant about this and that, I might as well just do everything alone!"She had made up her mind to ruin Melody's reputation either the next day or the day after next. When Thalia told her that it was not a good time to set things in motion, it was practically the same as pouring cold water on h

Wendy could not care less about being sued. At the very least, she would have accomplished her target of ensuring that those social media users would doubt her character. Even if the lawsuit succeeds, no one would fully trust Melody again. The seeds of doubt, once sowed, could never be removed."Hehe, I still got you in the end, Melody!" Thalia's anxiety manifested in her restless movements. Wendy's words continued to linger in her mind after jolting her awake like a shot of electricity. There should be no reason for her to hesitate anymore. Beatrice was unconscious, making it the perfect opportunity to act.Melody was bestowed with fame and fortune after the successful movie roadshow, but above all, Melody had Lucas. It would be nigh impossible for Thalia to endure having to watch Melody replace her."It's time for you to suffer, Melody," Thalia muttered to herself with a bitter voice. "I'll let you have this fleeting moment of happiness with Lucas as compensation for what will soo

Melody's tone dripped with sarcasm.Thalia had often boasted that she had known Beatrice for a long time, but her actions and expressions did not reflect any sense of genuine respect toward the old woman. Thalia's warmth toward Beatrice only surfaced in Lucas' presence, which only invited scrutiny and skepticism about her true intentions."Yes. You and I are complete opposites. Lucas and I were childhood sweethearts. And you? You're someone he picked up from God knows where. Young men tend to enjoy themselves a lot, which I honestly don't mind, but the longer he stays with you, the more he'll realize how good I am. I'm confident he'll come back to me before you know it."Melody could not help but chuckle at Thalia's unwavering confidence. "You're pretty sure of yourself. Does that mean your place is much higher than my place in his heart?"Thalia released Melody's hand and grimaced with disgust as she fetched a wet tissue to wipe it. "This isn't a question of confidence. It's the o

"Is she planning to wait here in the ward until the sun sets?" Melody mumbled to herself with a puzzled tone, lowering her head as she washed her hands.When the sound of someone entering the restroom reached her ears, she looked up, only to freeze in place by the person before her. "What are you doing here?"Wendy's smile was laced with malice. "You're asking that as if you own this hospital. There aren't any restrictions on who can enter or exit this place, is there?"Melody's frown deepened at the sight of her 'sister', and her mood soured instantly. She shut off the faucet and planned on leaving, but Wendy reached out to stop her."Is this how you treat your sister? Not even a polite greeting?" Wendy taunted. "I bet your fans will be so utterly disappointed if they see this side of you."Melody shot her a cold glance. "Who are you calling your sister? Sorry, but I don't have any family, much less a sister. My fans know this. They don't even know who you are.""Still as stubbo

"Melody said that she won't go anywhere until I return. Why are you alone here? Where is she?" Lucas asked worriedly.Thalia frowned, and her subsequent sentence was laced with discontent toward Melody. "I'm not sure. She seemed a little restless ever since I arrived here, and she seemed a little irritated when she was massaging Grandma. Since you weren't around and I had nothing to talk to her with anyway, I turned to leave after putting down the fruit basket."Following a brief pause, she continued, "But she insisted that I stay for a while because she needed to go to the bathroom. I haven't seen her since I'm not trying to be negative here, but she shouldn't be tasked with taking care of Grandma if she's too busy. Hiring a nurse would be so much easier on you both, and she wouldn't have to go through the suffering of staying here. Grandma is the one who will suffer from improper care."Lucas did not know why Melody was not around, but he knew that she would never treat Beatrice t

The sudden turn of events caught Lucas off guard. He swiftly mobilized several employees from his company to assist in the investigation. Edmund, with a tablet, gestured at the screen and explained what he had discovered of Melody's movements.A pang of heartache pierced Lucas as he watched Melody's figure on the screen—she was completely oblivious to the fate that would befall her."She couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Zoom in to the first and last two minutes of the video. I want to see how she was taken," Lucas demanded.The surveillance footage revealed no trace of Melody beyond a certain point, indicating she had not left of her own accord."Stop—zoom in here," Lucas commanded. Edmund complied, and the screen displayed a scene with a nurse pushing a hospital bed with what was presumably a recently discharged patient."Didn't you notice that this was suspicious?" Lucas questioned sharply. Before long, the notion that he had brushed shoulders with that nurse struck hi

Wendy slammed the car door smugly. "Does that really matter? Just remember to take a few photos of yourself with her along with a video. As we've discussed, you're free to do whatever you want with her."The thug, who had spent his days indulging in online fantasies of love with Melody, found himself tongue-tied in her presence. "I... I only did it to get off. I never expected you to bring her to me! Who are you? And how did you manage all this?"A flicker of awkwardness appeared across Wendy's face as she realized she was nothing more than just a minor celebrity with no name for herself—a nobody. That man knew Melody rather than her, and she steeled herself with determination to see everything through to completion instead of failing like the last time around."My identity doesn't matter. Bring her in, but don't lay a finger on her until I say so," Wendy instructed.The man chuckled in exhilaration at the unexpected turn of events. As he carried Melody inside, he could not resist

Wendy stopped eating and placed the bowl to one side. She seized Melody's hair forcefully and yanked her closer."Ah!" Melody winced as pain shot through her scalp."You think you're so great, don't you?" Wendy's voice dripped with contempt. "Who are you to offer me that money? How much do you have, huh? Why are you so pretentious?"Wendy detested Melody's air of superiority, especially as Melody continued to cling to her aloofness despite being kidnapped."Let me go," Melody pleaded with tears welling in her eyes after her hair had been tugged."Hahaha! Sure, but you need to beg me first!" Wendy demanded."I beg you! Please, Wendy, let me go!" Melody's voice quivered with desperation.Unsure of when they would discover her absence, Melody swallowed her pride and begged Wendy to try and buy Lucas some time to find her."Hahaha! This is how far you'd fall after all! I knew I should've acted sooner. Seeing you cry and beg like this is super satisfying!" Wendy shoved Melody away,

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
