Jeremy was still calmly sipping on the straw, choosing to remain silent. Anya thought he had said something, so she leaned in closer and tugged on his sleeves. "Jeremy, are you okay?"

No words, still. In fact, he did not even spare her a glance. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Lucas could not help but walk over to Anya and put his arms around her after seeing her getting the cold shoulder. He threw an unhappy glance toward Jeremy before turning back to face Corinne.

"Miss Corinne, I don't think you're a wholly bad person since you were willing to extend a helping hand to my grandfather two days ago. Not many people would be willing to do that for someone they've never met before. However, when it comes down to securing your interest, you'll become this ruthless woman who finds joy in hurting the innocent, am I right?"

Corinne knitted her eyebrows in consternation. "Securing my interests? What interests are you talking about?"

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "The only reason you d

    Faced with the pressure, the police officer anxiously tried to string his sentences together and give Jeremy a reasonable explanation for why Corinne had to be handcuffed to the bed. After all, he had heard from the confrontation earlier that Corinne was Jeremy's wife.However, Jeremy did not say anything and merely walked past the policeman and placed the cup in his hand back on the cabinet beside the hospital bed. The end of the straw was already flattened from his chewing on it.After placing down the cup, Jeremy stood beside the hospital bed and glanced at Corinne with a convoluted and incomprehensible expression.Corinne's indifference wavered somewhat when she faced his silent gaze. She frowned, looked right into his eyes, and lowered her face again as she said sullenly, "I didn't do it.""Okay." His tone was very calm as if there was no trace of doubt.Corinne was startled and looked up at him again. 'What does he mean, okay? Doesn't he doubt me even when the evidence is fo

    After coming out of the ward, Anya looked around the hospital corridor to search for Jeremy, who had just left. Alas, she did not see any trace of him in the corridor, despite the few minutes' difference between the time she and he came out. 'Where did Jeremy go?'At long last, the stairwell door in front of the corridor was pushed open, and Tommy walked in with a serious expression.Anya walked over immediately just in time to meet him.Tommy nodded slightly and greeted her. "Miss Anya."Anya nodded in return and asked, "Mister Tommy, is Jeremy in there?"Tommy replied truthfully. "Yes. He's inside.""I'll go in and see him, then." Anya then walked over and pushed the stairwell door open.Tommy did not stop her, and he merely glanced at Anya's back as she went in. There was a somewhat conflicted look on his usually calm and steady expression, but he walked away in a hurry because he still had to do some work that his boss had instructed him to do.…Anya walked into the stair

    The three of them walked down to the hospital lobby together, with Anya turning heads as she walked between the two handsome men.They had to pass by Corinne's ward to go down, and the police officers were still guarding the door there.A man with a briefcase was explaining to the police officer his purpose for being there.Lucas recognized the man from a distance and he narrowed his eyes. "Is that Gabriel Franklin?"Gabriel was well-known for being a big shot in the legal world. He was the founder of the city's number-one law firm, in addition to being the director of the Newmoon Group's legal department. He generally took major business cases, which made it all the more surprising that he would show up in person just to handle a small case of attempted assault.Anya recognized the lawyer too, so she turned her head to look at Jeremy in disbelief. She had a sad frown on her face as she said, "Do you still trust Corinne? Did you go so far as to hire Gabriel to defend her?"Jeremy

    While Corinne was leaning on the bed head with her eyes closed, someone knocked on the door, and an unfamiliar 40-something woman came in."Who are you looking for?" Corinne opened her eyes and looked warily at the woman. 'Why would the police officers let a random stranger in? Who is she?'The middle-aged woman bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Corinne, I'm the nurse that Mister Tommy sent. You can call me Nancy. I'll be here to take care of your diet and your daily needs. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything."Corinne raised her eyebrows. "Tommy? Tommy Jenkinson?"The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes. That's him."Corinne frowned a little. 'Why did he hire a nurse for me out of the blue? Did Jeremy leave? Guess he doesn't believe me anymore, not that I'm surprised since he and I don't have any sort of genuine relationship in the first place! Funnily enough, he seemed to have told me that he liked me and wanted me not to put a wall between us, and I almost believed i

    Annie pulled a chair, sat down, and blinked guiltily. "Nothing! I don't really know! It's not convenient for you to eat, so how about you let me feed you?""So you're not going to tell me?" Corinne frowned slightly at her.Annie always viewed Corinne as her idol, and she was afraid that her idol would be unhappy and ignore her. She thought about it for a bit, and she did not dare to keep anything from Corinne."Well, when I came here, I saw him escorting Anya out of the hospital at the entrance, and then…she got into his car."Corinne's expression turned somewhat gloomy. She remained silent, and her lips seemed to quirk unnaturally in a bitter manner.Annie became a little nervous. "Don't be angry! Please don't divorce him just because of that! Give him another chance..."Corinne snapped back from her senses and looked calmly at Annie. "I'm not angry. It's just… Why shouldn't we get a divorce if there aren't any feelings between us?"Annie pursed her lips depressingly. "If you d

    Inside the police station's dark and cramped interrogation room, two stern-looking police officers sat across from Corinne. One of them asked sharply, "Are you going to confess or not?"Corinne sat demurely behind the small table, but her words remained very firm. "What's there to confess when I'm not guilty of anything?"The stern-faced officer frowned unhappily when he saw her being so obstinate, so he said to her, "Aren't you aware that there's room for more leniency if you cooperate? I've been a police officer for many years, and I've seen many suspects who are just as stubborn as you are. But no matter how stubborn they are, they all regret it once the sentence is handed to them! A young girl like you shouldn't have engaged in such reprehensible behavior, and it's even more appalling that you don't have a single ounce of regret for doing something illegal and harming other people. Your parents would disown you if they found out what you did!"Corinne said, "Have you ever heard

    Gabriel replied in a polite yet solemn manner, "I'm a lawyer, Mister Lucas, and my duty is to ensure the fairest result for my client in addition to clearing her name. No one should be left to bear the consequences of actions that they haven't done."Lucas chuckled. "If you say so, then. I'm curious to know how you can prove her innocence, given how solid the evidence is."Corinne sat according to the arrangement designated by the police officers. After a while, the gangster who attacked Anya was brought in by another police officer. Anya immediately cowered in fear into her brother's arms when she saw the man, and Lucas could only hug her as a means of comfort. There was a murderous tinge in his expression when he glanced up at the gangster.Gabriel then began to ask, "We met yesterday, so I won't make another introduction. Could you please repeat your crimes as you have committed them?"Chris had already pleaded guilty, so there was no point trying to argue. He nodded earnestly a

    Gabriel went out to give the witnesses a call.Rosie stood up, crossed her arms over her chest, and walked up to Corinne. She then said in a kind and almost-persuasive tone, "Don't think that you can clear your name just because you managed to hire a big-shot lawyer! How dare you hire someone to hurt Anya? Lucas will never allow you to get away with it! My advice? Stop trying to resist and just accept the punishment of the law. You might even be able to get a lighter sentence if you show a good attitude!"Corinne looked up, glanced at Rosie, and could not be bothered to entertain the woman's pointless tirade.Rosie was frustrated when Corinne ignored her, and she was extremely unhappy because her provoking never had the intended effect. It was as if there was never a situation where Corinne would lose her composure, and it seemed that nothing was capable of stirring her emotions. Her ever-calm demeanor made Rosie feel like slapping her out of curiosity to know if she could feel pain

    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
