"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

"I don't know about the rest. I only know that she comes from a wealthy family 'cause this one time. Ahem, I happened to see her going into a very grand mansion and addressing the old couple inside as Mom and Dad."Seeing how guilty Marvin looked, Corinne could easily guess that he must have secretly followed Em home so that he could find out more about her.Marvin had that faraway look in his eyes as he took a trip down memory lane. "Your mother has always been one of the quieter ones. Not only is she a straight-A student but she's kind, doesn't put on airs, and is popular in the school. Guys and girls alike worshiped her."'So mom's kind and gentle,' Even though Corinne had no clear memory of her mother, she could nonetheless sense she was always smiling down at her. She remembered that she was already five years old when Marvin adopted her. Logically speaking, a five-year-old should be able to retain some memories of her childhood and yet, Corinne could not recall anything from b

"You should just live your life as a wealthy man's wife and forget about the past. I once promised your mother that I would not let her enemy find you so that her soul can rest in peace in heaven," said Marvin.Corinne was stunned to hear her father — who did not show her any affection before — say something like this to her. 'Maybe he's being nice to me 'cause he still has feelings for my mom,' she thought.Corinne smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me that. I'll live a good life and protect myself. Goodbye, Mister Carew."She then walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.Marvin frowned and let out a long sigh. The fact that Corinne grew up to be twenty years old meant that he already did his part in keeping her safe, just as he promised Emily. It would not be any more of his responsibility should anything happen to Corinne in the future for that girl already spread her wings and fly.…A few burly men were moving the engagement gifts out of the Carew's mansion downstair

Sherlyn snapped out of the shock and looked enviously at Corinne. "Huh! Where else could she have gotten the money from if not by deceiving Jeremy to give her some?" she said saltily.Lilliana, of course, thought the same way as her. "Corinne, you shouldn't use other people's money to clean up your mess. Aren't you afraid that the Holden family would look into this and punish you if they found out you use their money without their permission?"Corinne smiled. "Aunt Lilliana, you seem to have forgotten something very important. Jeremy is my husband so technically speaking, his money is also my money. Take yourself for example, has your husband ever asked you to give back all the money you've spent that was his, to begin with?"Lillian's face first became pale with shock then black with anger. She was so angry that she could not think of a comeback.Sherlyn's face looked even more terrible than her mother's. She thought that the Holden family would look down on Corinne — who grew up

Aaron and Xante glanced at each other. Both of their hearts went out to Corinne. Since she was little, Corinne never experienced what it felt like to have the love of a family. Instead, she was sent to the countryside to suffer all kinds of hardships. They saw with their own eyes the amount of blood, sweat, and tears for Corinne to get to where she was today.Seeing Corinne so down, Aaron decided to change to a more cheerful topic. "Boss, let's go and have fun at the bar now that you've gotten your engagement gifts back."'Drinking in broad daylight? No thanks!' thought Corinne. She was in no mood to be drinking so she waved her hands and said, "Aaron, go find out if any grand mansions have been demolished in Thalassa in the past twenty years. If there is, find out the original owner of the mansion. Also, send someone to find out about an ex-student called Em Love in Thalassa University and send me the information once you have it."Aaron could send this was important to her so he a

Aaron pretended to be embarrassed. "Why me? I'm still a virgin. It'll be so awkward for me to buy that kind of thing!"Both Xante and Corinne were speechless.Aaron was only trying to be funny to liven up the atmosphere but it did not work as both Xante and Corinne were looking at him with disgust and with their mouths in a tight line.He immediately dropped the act and shrugged. "Okay, okay. I'll go get the pregnancy test. Huh! I can't believe that I, the owner of the Newmoon Group, am being ordered around like a little scullery maid. Sigh! What has become of my life!"Xante gave him a side-eye and said nothing else as Aaron continued with his blabbering. She then started the car engine and drove to the nearest drugstore. While driving, she kept looking up at the rearview mirror to check on Corinne.'She doesn't look too well after all that retching she did moments ago,' thought Xante with a worried frown on her face.Corinne was indeed not well. Recently, she burned candles at

"The fetus is developing well but your own body is a little weak. You must rest more and eat more nutritious food. Don't overwork yourself and maintain a good mood. Please ask your family members to take care of you too," said the OB-GYN specialist."Don't worry, doctor! We'll take good care of her," said Aaron with a smile.Corinne walked out of the consultation room in a daze. She was a little overwhelmed at the thought of a baby growing inside of her.She only ever did it once with Jeremy. That night, she had no choice but to do it with Jeremy because he had been given a strong aphrodisiac and would have suffered serious consequences to his health if he did not have s*x there and then.'I can't believe it only took that time for me to get pregnant,' thought Corinne.She was only twenty years old and just starting her adult life; the thought of getting married and giving birth did not even cross her mind a few minds ago so the news of pregnancy was a huge shock to her.Besides,

Corinne's heart skipped a beat when she saw Jeremy's tall and handsome back. 'I can't believe he appeared before me when I wished to see him the most! It almost feels like a miracle.'She smiled and walked toward Jeremy while thinking of how to break the news of her pregnancy to him. Aaron wanted to chase after her to make sure she did not hurt herself but Xante stopped him. "Don't be a third wheel. Let them have some private time."Aaron shrugged and scoffed. "I just wanted to make sure the boss doesn't fall flat on her face."Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Don't worry. She's not as clumsy as you think."Aaron crossed his arms and waited with great interest to see how Jeremy would react to Corinne's news.…As she got closer to him, Corinne opened her mouth and said, "Mist—"However, she did not even finish calling him when a toddler suddenly stumbled out of the pediatric room, wrapped himself around Jeremy's legs, and said in a baby voice, "Da, dada, da!"

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
