"I understand what happened now, Anya! You must've mistakenly thought Corinne wanted you to kneel down before her but you lost your balance and fell to the ground. Then, Lucas just so happened to see that last part and thought you fell because Corinne kicked you."

Anya was speechless. 'Is this idiot really my brother? How can he take her side and not mine?'

Corinne's eyebrow quirked up. She was surprised by what Sunny said. 'I guess he finally has some sense knocked into him. He finally believes me after all those times of taking Anya's side.'

Anya chuckled dryly and added to Sunny's conclusion, "Yeah, that could be it. I could have misheard since I was feeling a little dizzy from the cold…"

The image Anya liked to portray to others had always been one of kind and gentle, so even though she disagreed with Sunny's statement, she did not dare to argue with him.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Sunny excitedly shoved the plate of chicken wing in front of Corinne's face.

    A weird expression flashed across Corinne's face. She subconsciously touched the towel on her neck and said, "Oh… I was feeling cold!"Sunny frowned and said quizzically, "A towel can't keep you warm at all. You should put on my jacket instead."Then he turned to Anya and asked, "Anya, I'm sure you're all warmed up by now, right?"Anya was stunned. "Yeah… I'm not cold anymore.""Can you please take off the jacket and give it to Corinne to wear? She fell into the pond earlier, so we need to make sure she doesn't catch a cold," he said seriously.It was only then that Anya realized she was still wearing Sunny's jacket. Her smile slowly faded at the way Sunny was asking her for the jacket."Oh… Okay. Yes, we must make sure Corinne doesn't catch a cold."She had no choice but to kindly take the jacket off herself and give it back to Sunny.Sunny took the jacket without hesitation and passed it to Corinne. "Here, put this on."Corinned glanced at the jacket in front of her and then

    "What are you all doing here?" asked Jeremy authoritatively.Corinne and Sunny—who were still fighting over whether there was a need to call the emergency hotline—immediately turned toward him.Jeremy stood emotionlessly, staring at them coldly from far away. "Jeremy!"The darkness in Anya's eyes immediately dissipated when she realized Jeremy had come. She put on her innocent doe-eyed look and ran over to him."Jeremy, I came here to apologize to Corinne for the misunderstanding between us, but it doesn't seem like she's willing to forgive me," she said with a pitiful sigh.Jeremy glanced at Anya, and then at Sunny, before finally fixing his gaze on the jacket Corinne was wearing on her shoulder. He narrowed his eyes unkindly and asked, "Whose jacket is that?"Corinne did not know how to answer him.A chill went up Sunny's spine as he tried to explain, "Corinne said she was cold, so I gave her my jacket to wear, and… She seems to be having an allergic reaction so I wanted to

    "What are you thinking about?"Corinne was suddenly pulled back from her thoughts when Jeremy scratched her lightly on the nose. He bent down lightly so that he could be at eye-level with her as she sat down on the bed."The barbecue grill was left unattended, so all the food got burnt. I've already asked someone to cook some fresh food for you and he'll bring it over later," said Jeremy gently.Corinne was full from the chicken wings Sunny gave her, so she did not really care whether there would be new food coming in.She raised her eyebrow slyly. "Mister, you're not keeping any deep, dark secrets from me, right?"Jeremy hesitated slightly. He then knelt down before here, looked her deeply into the eyes, and shook his head. "No, I'm not.""Good."Corinne was satisfied with his answer. She did not take Anya's bullsh*t at all. In fact, she would have forgotten about the child matter if Anya had not smiled so creepily at her earlier.After spending time with Jeremy for over two m

    Jeremy said she did not put her heart and soul into the first draft she sent him so she used up every ounce of her creativity this time to finally complete the new drawing before he came back. She emailed the new drawing to him and waited patiently for his reply.'There should be no problem this time,' she thought. She could finally take a mental break now that she completed the design.She turned on her phone, wanting to play a game to relax, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the date. Today was the last day of her three-month agreement with Jeremy.'Wow, has it been three months already? How time flies!' she thought. Her relationship with Jeremy was a little complicated. 'If Mister didn't express his intention to have a serious relationship with me and I didn't agree to give it a thought then. I'd be packing up my things to leave this now.'Previously, she waited for this day to come but now she did not want to leave that much anymore.In the half-month that Jeremy was abroad

    Corinne was not fazed by Sherlyn's hysterics. Judging by the lazy yawning she did just now, she was bored by the whole thing. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry but I don't care whether I'm welcomed here or not. I'm just here to take back my engagement gifts."At the mention of the 'engagement gifts', Sherlyn's whole body immediately tensed up. Then she frowned angrily and said, "What right do you have to take away the engagement gifts?"Corinne raised her eyebrow. "You're asking me what right do I have? If I remember correctly, those engagement gifts are from my husband, are they not? Therefore, I have every right to take them away."The words, my husband, made Sherlyn even angrier. 'How dare she call Jeremy her husband? He was supposed to be mine! If only he didn't get seduced by Corinne.'The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She pointed her finger at Corinne and shouted, "Corinne Carew, I had enough of your bullsh*t! Jeremy didn't give those engagement gift

    Lilliana scoffed. "Oh, please! Stop using Jeremy to scare us. He would've been Sherlyn's husband if you didn't come in between them! My Sherlyn would have been the real Missus Holden then!"Lilliana would get so worked up every time she remembered what could have been.Corinne was speechless at just how confident Lilliana and Sherlyn were. Even now, they still did not give up on the belief that Sherlyn was the woman Jeremy wanted to marry in the first place.'Ha! As if Mister will ever fall for someone as pretentious as Sherlyn!' thought Corinne.At that moment, Marvin just woke up from his afternoon nap. Still yawning, he walked down the stairs and came to the entrance after he heard the commotion outside.His eyebrows immediately shot up when he saw it was Corinne at the door. "Oh, it's you, Corinne. How dare you come back?!"Corinne noticed his face still carried the injuries from before; his eyes and nose were all swollen and bruised, making him look like a defeated boxer.'

    Although the Carews lived in a decent residential area and always used expensive items — which gave people the impression that they were quite rich — it was all a lie. Their lives were not as glamorous as they made it out to be.Marvin inherited some properties from the older generation, but those properties were not in prime locations. It would be difficult for him to sell them should he need some cash.Over the years, Marvin rented out those properties to other people, but the rent received was only a drop in the bucket for his family's expenses; it was not enough to satisfy the family's vanity and their penchant for keeping up with the Joneses.Previously, they could count on Sherlyn's acting money to live a glamorous life but now she was canceled and could no longer get an acting job. In other words, they were doing nothing but frittering away whatever little fortune they had left.The engagement gifts given by Jeremy were their only hope to continue living their glamorous life

    "What's your relationship with my birth mother? Why, instead of her, did you go to the hospital to pick me up?"Marvin's face stiffened and he looked at her in astonishment, "You knew about that?""Yeah, and I also know you're not my real father."'This explains why she has been addressing me as Mister Carew lately,' thought Marvin. His eyes flashed as he shouted, "How dare you! When are you going to stop with your nonsense? Corinne Carew, you're my daughter! Are you seriously thinking of cutting ties with your flesh and blood just because you've married into a wealthy family?"Corinne remained calm. "I'm sorry, Mister Carew, but I've already done a paternity test and you and I have no blood ties at all so you can't fool me."Marvin did a double-take. He never expected that she would do something like this. "How dare you do a paternity test behind my back?"Corinne folded her arms lazily. "Oh, I didn't plan for it. I just thought I might as well do it when you and Sherlyn were do

    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
