Dougie put down his foot and retreated a few steps in fear."Who… Who are you guys?"Lucas looked at the almost-unconscious Melody, his heart aching as if it were bleeding. He immediately kicked Dougie fiercely against the wall, causing him to fall."Ah!""Hands up. Don't even think about resisting. We've already got you surrounded!"Dougie continued to groan on the ground. Lucas rushed over to kick him again, but someone stopped him."Mister Lucas, the most important thing now is to make sure Miss Melody is okay. We should get her to the hospital. As for this wretched man, there will be plenty of time to deal with him later."Lucas's clenched fists trembled for a while before he finally turned and walked to Melody. He first checked her injuries, and a scalding hot tear fell onto Melody's face when he saw the red marks on her face and the bruises around her mouth.The others remained silent. Originally, they thought Lucas and Melody were just a contractual couple, but it was cl

"In a society governed by the rule of law, I indeed can't do much to you. However, I've already asked someone to record down your words, so you can look forward to spending the rest of your life in prison.""What… What right do you have to lock me up in prison? Melody didn't suffer any major harm. Why should I spend my whole life behind bars?!"Wendy, who previously boasted about being ready to meet her end with Melody, felt weak in the knees at the realization that she was going to prison. She still had many good years ahead of her; she did not want to end up in that hellhole!"You've admitted to planning the kidnapping on your own. Since that's the case, there's nothing left to argue about. My lawyer will handle everything when the time comes."Lucas did not spare Wendy a single glance as she continued to scream behind him, trying to grab his legs while pleading, "Wait, I don't want to go to prison! I'm only twenty-five years old. I don't want to go back in!"'Hah, she said she

"It was... It was Wendy who did this to Melody, but I've also asked Leo to find out if there was anyone else involved," replied Lucas.Cedric fell silent. Too many things had happened in such a short period. The successive accidents involving their closest family members had left them deeply distressed. Despite this, they had to deal with what lay ahead."You stay here with Melody. I'll go check on the company. No matter what, we need to catch the other culprits so Melody could have some closure."Lucas lifted his bloodshot eyes. "Grandpa, you...""You don't need to say anything. We're family. Just pull yourself together quickly. Melody still needs you."Lucas nodded. Just as Cedric was about to leave, he stopped him. "Grandpa, you stay here. Call me immediately if anything happens. I need to go somewhere."All of this was somehow related to Thalia.…Thalia was restless at home. She had a bad feeling ever since the day she joined forces with Wendy.'That woman is truly insane

"Do you know Wendy?" Lucas got straight to the point.Thalia was initially puzzled. She then blinked and asked, "Wendy? Who is she? I don't know her. But the name sounds familiar. It feels...somewhat similar to Melody's name. Melody, Wendy… Haha! They both ended with the same syllable.""You're not mistaken. Wendy's is Melody's half-sister from the same father." Lucas' gaze bore into Thalia as if trying to see through her."Is that so? I've known Melody for so long, but I didn't know she had a half-sister. Did something happen between the two of them?"Lucas shook his head. "You really don't know her?"Thalia frowned slightly. "I don't know her. I've already said so. Why don't you believe me? What's there to doubt? I don't have much interaction with Melody, let alone her sister.""Is that so? But Wendy claims she knows you.""What?""Have you been home since you returned from the hospital today? Why did you go to the hospital today?"'Thalia had never once visited Grandma at t

"Thalia, dare you swear you have nothing to do with Melody's kidnapping?" asked Lucas.Thalia scoffed and took a step back. "Lucas, you're crazy. I know you're upset about Melody getting hurt, but someone else is responsible for that! Why don't you go find that culprit? Why are you interrogating me? Do all those years of friendship mean nothing to you? How can you not trust me at all?"Just think about it. If you were me, would you have willingly chosen today to visit Grandma Beatrice if I knew this were to happen? Don't you think this is me putting the evidence right into your hands?"Thalia's mind raced as she struggled to come up with any reason to absolve herself of suspicion.Lucas frowned slightly upon hearing what Thalia said, and his gaze became distant. "Is that so? You'd better not be lying to me! You should know I don't want you involved in this, which is why I came to confirm with you."Thalia breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had started to believe her. "Okay… B

Thalia stood in place for a long time, unable to snap out of her thoughts until Quinn pushed open the door."What are you standing there for? You scared me," said Thalia.Quinn looked at her intently, silently."Crazy woman," muttered Thalia. She wanted to return to her room but was blocked by Quinn."Did you do it? Did you do what Lucas asked you?"Thalia did not care what Quinn might think and simply shrugged off her hand. "Are you crazy? You should really stop the habit of eavesdropping on people!""You killed your sister, yet you have the nerve to act so self-righteous! Lucas just left, and I really want to know what his reaction would be if he knew you killed your sister."Quinn smirked with amusement. She was not particularly sympathetic toward Thalia. Being suppressed by her for so many years, she relished the opportunity to turn the tables. However, she did not expect Thalia to slap her hand away."I've warned you countless times not to bring up this matter, but you nev

Leo, upon receiving Lucas' order to interrogate Wendy, was surprised at how easily it went. As soon as he and his assistant sat opposite Wendy, separated by a railing, she seemed eager to spill everything she knew."You work for Mister Lucas, right? I didn't do this. Someone made me do it! At most, I'm an accomplice. I can't go to jail. I have a bright future ahead of me," Wendy exclaimed, visibly agitated.The officers had to push her back into her seat due to her impulsive behavior."You were quite cocky before, weren't you? Boasting about not caring about your future and being willing to go down with Melody. Or did we misinterpret what you said?" Leo retorted, referring to Wendy's threats during Melody's kidnapping, which sounded like those of someone who had given up on life. Thus, why would she change her tune?"I've given it some thought and asked myself why I should take the blame when the culprit is someone else. I was manipulated by someone from start to finish. I'm just a

"Oh... I got a dog recently, and it was making a lot of noise when you arrived, so I didn't bring you in to see it. The vet said it's still very wild and can't be around people. Once it's trained properly, I'll introduce it to you. If there's nothing else, let's go… I'll go with you to the hospital and help out."After a moment of silence, a look of resignation finally appeared on Lucas' face. "Thalia, how long are you going to keep pretending? I've given you many chances, but you've never spoken a word of truth!"Thalia's eyes betrayed her panic as she took two steps back, her smile stiffening. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Lucas, you must be extremely exhausted to be speaking nonsense. I haven't done anything to upset you, nor did I lie. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can say.""This again. Don't you have anything else besides these worn-out lines?" Lucas' expression turned cold. He walked past Thalia and headed straight for the door.She

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
