However, Pamela was wrong on one point—Corinne did love money, and very much so, though the only money she liked was that which was earned through her abilities, and not money obtained by opportunistic means such as marrying a man or pleasing him.

On the other end of the phone, Greg muttered angrily and said, "Come on! Is there any woman who doesn't like money? How can an old woman like you be so naive to believe that there are women who don't like money? That Corinne girl must've put a spell on you or something!"

Pamela kept quiet as if to take a deep breath. Her voice became a little sullen, and it sounded like she was trying to muster some strength. Even her tone sounded a little off-color. "Try to stay home these couple of days. If you need to go out, you must remember to keep safe at all times. Jeremy will probably be able to deal with this hubbub on the internet. I have something to take care of right now, so let's talk another time."

Corinne responded obediently. "Okay, Grand

    Marvin then ordered angrily, "Come back here right now and get rid of all the wreaths in front of the house. Then you need to figure things out on your own and find a way to admit your mistakes to the media. Make sure you ask for everyone's forgiveness! I don't want our family to be dragged through the mud along with you!"Corinne listened calmly and felt like laughing.An old lady who had known her for less than a couple of months believed firmly in her innocence, going so far as to advise her not to go out in the coming days and be extra careful of her safety. On the other hand, her father wanted to thrust her into the public eye and let the netizens vent their anger so he could disassociate himself from her.The difference was simply too huge.Marvin had always treated her like that since she was a child. Whenever something bad happened, his first act would be to accuse her, reproach her, and scold her indiscriminately. He never cared to ask her for the truth of the matter, and

    Sherlyn was incensed. "How can you still be so arrogant at this time, Corinne? I'm not surprised that everyone on the Internet is calling you shameless. I think you deserve it!""I deserve it, you say? Does that mean you deserve it too because you got dragged into this?""You…"Lilliana could not stand it anymore and leaned over to her daughter's cell phone. She then said to the camera, "When did you become so evil? You were the one who ruined Sherlyn's career! Goran would've given her his full support, and she was due to make our family proud once she becomes the next generation of Goran's lead actress! You were the one who interfered with that, and that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is now gone!"You even spread rumors that she's not Marvin's daughter, which caused such a huge family conflict between us! We're lucky that Marvin gave us another chance and did another DNA test to prove that Sherlyn is the daughter that Marvin and I had! All this just proves that you're merely sowi

    When Corinne was about to remove all the posts and microblogs online that illegally exposed her personal information, a user with the ID 'Road To Success' appeared suddenly and excitedly messaged a few emoticons in quick succession.[You're online, master! I need your help with something!] 'Road To Success' was the username used by Sunny.After a series of recent incidents, Corinne had a distaste for the Riveras and replied slightly, [What's the matter?][Road to Success: A friend of mine is being cyberbullied. Could you help me remove all the posts that slander her and expose her personal information? Everything that's written in those posts is fake! I've even mobilized my comrades in the AJ Alliance to hack and delete those posts, but some of them have been set up with advanced defense barriers, and our skills have not yet reached the level of being able to crack such defenses.]Corinne cocked her eyebrow in surprise. 'Why would Sunny—the young man who protected his sister so m

    Few people could hack into the backend of such a highly-encrypted system, much less control it remotely like her. 'Who'd do something so risky for me?'[Master! Look! I think that ID did it!] Road To Success discovered that someone was hacking the edited videos that were circulating online of Corinne staging an accident. Within a few seconds, all the videos online were corrupted so they could not be played.Corinne narrowed her eyes and saw the ID of the hacker.Road To Success sent a brash message to that well-known hacker and asked, [May I ask who you are, mighty hero? Why do you want to help Corinne? Do you know her?]The hacker ignored Sunny and remained focused on what he was doing.Corinne came back to her senses, typed a message, and sent it. [Long time no see, Ghostlord.]A few seconds later, the other party replied to her, [Same to you.]That brief exchange of pleasantries came as such a shock to Sunny that he nearly fainted.[Holy moly!

    Corinne was speechless. Even though they were separated by a screen, she could sense an inexplicably strong aggressiveness similar to that of a wild beast guarding its cubs. It could also be likened to a despot showing his possessiveness.She may have rubbed Ghostlord the wrong way with her question. Hackers were very defensive, and it was normal for them to dislike revealing too much about their offline affairs.Corinne was the one who crossed the line. When she realized that, she decided not to ask any further and changed the subject. [Not at all. I was just asking casually. Will you be going to this year's Global Hacking Summit?][Ghostlord: That depends.]Corinne then typed, [On what? Is something holding you back?][Ghostlord: I'm married. My wife is very strict. It wouldn't be convenient to travel far.]Corinne found it interesting because she did not expect Ghostlord to be such a family man!She replied, [Congratulations! As it happens, I got married recently too.]At th

    At the Riveras, Lucas sat leisurely on the chair in front of the dust-free built-in bookshelf and read a book by a foreign author while holding a cup of hot coffee in his other hand.His secretary, Edmund, stood to one side and reported the situation dutifully. "Sir, about those videos and posts online, it's clear that Corinne has been wrongfully accused. Should we clarify to the public on her behalf?"Although Edmund could not understand why Corinne would disrespect his employer, that did not change the fact that Corinne helped the old man on Yonder River's shore the other day. Had she not been around, the old man would have been hurt by that ignorant female internet celebrity.Lucas narrowed his handsome eyes and remembered the arrogant way in which Corinne ignored him. He took a slow sip of coffee and said softly, "She is Jeremy's woman. We don't need to intervene even if something happens."When Edmund heard that, he realized that Lucas was right—the Holdens' scion could not ha

    Lucas' face softened when he saw Anya's eyes reddening. He reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and said, "There, there. Don't cry, Anya. I was just asking..."Anya sniffled sadly. "But your tone says otherwise. You sounded so mean…"Lucas sighed with resignation. Then, he continued to patiently explain to her, "Anya, that phone has never left the drawer in my study, but now, there's an edited version of the video posted online to slander Corinne, resulting in a public uproar."I was just going through a standard procedure of making sure no one in our family is the culprit before letting Edmund question the other staff in the household."Do you now understand? And you should know that, as your brother, I'll always trust you a hundred percent, okay?"Anya wiped away her tears and nodded like a little girl. "Okay. If this is the case, it's totally understandable that you'll suspect me, since I'm the only one in this house who has to

    While Edmund was on his way to get him, Sunny was spending his time feeling distressed about being kicked out of the deep web by his master, Jade Rabbit. He wanted to access the deep web again but could not, no matter how he tried, because Jade Rabbit had locked up his ID for 48 hours.'Why?!' He banged the keyboard in frustration. He had no choice but to go to VeeTube and other web pages to check the latest development of 'Corinne the scammer incident'.'It's a good thing the cyberbullying post and the videos are all gone. This way, at least, the matter won't spread further, making it worse,' thought Lucas. 'Next, I have to find a way to help Corinne clear up her name. Otherwise, she won't be able to move freely in public places. The angry mob will definitely chase after her if she's recognized… Should I ask Lucas for help?'However, Sunny knew that Lucas was famed for his cold-heartedness and that he would not waste his time on anyone other than himself or other members of the Riv

    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
