Lucas squinted his eyes and sneered indifferently. "You need to attend an event with me tomorrow, so be prepared in advance to dress formally."Corinne was dazed. What event?She then recalled when they were in the ward earlier, Lucas said that Corinne was his partner for tomorrow to brush Anya and Rosie off. The event should be Anya's aunt's birthday party as she mentioned before.She was only cooperating with her boss at that time. She did not expect that Lucas was truly planning to take her to the party!Corinne was a little torn. She never liked attending that sort of fancy party. However, she thought that since Lucas's aunt was a senior member of the Riveras, she should know more about the things that happened in the family in the past. Therefore, she might be able to inquire about her mother if she got in contact with her.After giving it a thought, she turned her head to ask, "Mister Lucas, may I know if I would meet Jeremy at the event tomorrow?"Lucas looked up at her, f

Corinne never bought any clothes that made her feel inconvenient after wearing them. She did not have things like formal dresses in her closet as well.It was true that she founded Newmoon Group on her own, but Xante and Aaron were usually the ones doing the socializing. As the boss behind the scenes, she was only in charge of the technical aspects, the major decisions, and the development of the company.Of course, Xante knew her boss never liked wearing clothes that were hard to move in. She closed her laptop and asked with slight curiosity, "Hmm? Why did you suddenly want to borrow a dress?"Corinne yawned and said, "I'm going to a party with Lucas tomorrow, and he requested for me to attend in formal wear."Xante nodded. "I'll go to a haute couture studio with you after dinner to buy a new dress. My clothes will be much bigger on you, so it's easy for them to fall off."Corinne gave it a thought, then she reached her hand to grab Xante's chest. "Mm-hmm. You're right. Your bust

From where Corinne, Xante, and Aaron were, they could not hear the conversation between the owner and the man. However, without a doubt, they felt that a lofty man like Jeremy sitting at a roadside shack like this just looked very out of place. Aaron clicked his tongue. "Boss, I've never expected that Jeremy would do what the common folk do. He would come to a roadside shack like this to have barbecued meat, as well as beer and chips! But why is he alone? It's no fun to drink alone!"Corinne felt this scene was very strange as well. Also, did Jeremy not say that he was catching a flight when he was at the hospital in the afternoon? Why was he still in New Capital City at that moment?Corinne thought of the time she came to have dinner at this shack alone, and Jeremy saw her when he was passing by. He then sat down and tried the barbecue meat with her. By the time they wanted to leave, she was so stuffed that she could not get up, so he held her hand.Thinking about it again at tha

Almost all of the employees of the Rivera Group left when Corinne got off work the following night. She then went to the restroom to change into the formal wear Lucas asked her to put in yesterday.After dinner last night, Xante brought Corinne to a concept studio for haute couture dresses. Xante helped her pick a simple yet exquisite dress. It was an off-the-shoulder piece made with ash purple chiffon. The overall design was very fairy-like.The main thing was that the hem of the dress was not so long, so it would not feel like a burden when it was on her. It was the type that Corinne liked as she could move freely in it.After she got changed, Corinne returned to her desk to wait for her boss.It was after another 20 minutes that Lucas opened the door and walked out of his office.Corinne got up and nodded a little respectfully with a great working attitude. "Mister Lucas."Lucas was distracted when he glanced at her. However, when he saw the way she looked in the dress, he sta

Lucas could not quite explain what was going on with him. He started to worry about Corinne, whom he always disliked.He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that it was because he was exhausted from work recently that he started to have an illusion.Soon, the car arrived at the Lunar Century Manor. After the car was parked, Corinne followed Lucas out of the car and entered the manor.After taking a few steps, Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Corinne from the corner of his eyes and asking her indifferently, "Do you feel cold?"It was the beginning of winter, so the temperature at night was already very low.Wearing a thin dress, Corinne's arms were flushed because of the night breeze, but she replied indifferently, "I'm alright."Lucas looked at her and pondered for a second, then he looked back to say, "Edmund, bring the jacket in the car that Anya bought for me a few days ago and let Miss Corinne put it on."Edmund was taken aback, but he did as he w

He could not quite explain what he was feeling, but he just felt it was not safe for Corinne to be there alone.Lucas turned around and asked her, "Do you have my number?"Corinne nodded. "Yes, I've saved your number.""Alright. Before I return, you can call me if there's anything.""Alright, Mister Lucas."Only then did Lucas truly walk off, and his tall figure disappeared into the crowd who were toasting each other.Rosie and Anya were chatting on the stairs when they saw Lucas walking in with Corinne and showing concern for her. Both of them were very uncomfortable with it.Anya put on an insincere smile. "It looks like Lucas is quite concerned for Corinne! The jacket on her shoulders is the one I gifted him a few days ago!"She initially bought that jacket for Jeremy, but he did not accept it. She was very dejected, but she felt it was a waste to throw it away; so she gave it to her brother.Her brother and Jeremy were almost the same size anyway, so he could not notice it

"Rosie, Corinne is only together with Lucas because of work. Don't overthink it! Alright, you've had too much to drink. Come on. I'll take you to the balcony for some fresh air and sober you up!"Rosie looked upset and did not wish to let Corinne go just yet. Fortunately, after Anya talked some sense into her, she gradually calmed down. She glared at Corinne viciously before following Anya to the balcony.The night breeze on the balcony was cold. Rosie was slightly more sober, but the resentment she felt did not fade at all. "Anya, you shouldn't have held me back just now. You should have let me give her a severe punishment!"Anya looked kind and understanding. She shook her head and reminded her, "Rosie, you're too reckless. Don't forget that we're at my aunt's birthday party today!"Realizing that Rosie could not help but shudder. She suddenly felt a little scared. She almost forgot that this was Missus Benet's birthday party!Missus Benet was a powerful woman who liked to nitpi

"Who is that? What a gorgeous girl that is!" Cole swallowed his saliva as he looked at Corinne.Rosie heard what Anya said and saw how aroused Cole was, so she immediately smiled and echoed Anya's words, "Cole, not only is that girl very pretty, but she's especially good at having fun! Go and chat with her. You definitely would like her very much!"Cole became even more interested. "Having fun? What kind of fun?"Rosie smiled suggestively. "She's skilled at all the games men like to play!"Cole rubbed his chin, feeling so excited that he almost drooled. "Not bad! I like that! Anya, I won't keep you and Miss Rosie from talking in private anymore. I'll go have a chat with that girl!" Watching Cole walk toward Corinne, Anya pretended to look worried. "Rosie, is it bad for us to direct Cole to Corinne like this?"Rosie did not think so. "What's so bad about that? Isn't Corinne trying to get with a rich man? She's a bumpkin who came from poverty, yet she kept dreaming of being with J

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
