Chapter 486

Author: Cher the Cherished
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

    He was the nephew of Maxwell's wife. No matter what, he could be considered partially a Rivera.The Riveras were a symbol of powerful status, so of course, he had to pretend to be part of them even if he was not! Corinne looked at Cole and saw that he was related to the Riveras and he did not look too bright, so she thought she might be able to get him to talk and see if he knew about the family's past.A brilliant man like Lucas was very sharp and vigilant, so there was no way for her to get any information out of him at all.Thinking of that, Corinne gave the man a friendly smile. "Hello, sir. It's a pleasure meeting you."Cole got all excited as he was bewitched by Corinne's smile. "The pleasure is mine! How should I address you, gorgeous?"Corinne said, "My name is Corinne.""Miss Corrine. You can just call me Cole!" He tried to probe, asking, "Oh yes, Miss Corinne, does the jacket you have on belong to your partner who came with you?"If she had a partner, and he was more

    Cole led Corinne down the long hallway on the second floor as he was preparing to take her to a bigger room.Corrine stopped in her tracks when she saw a painting hanging along the hallway. That was because she felt the brushstrokes of the painting looked like it was done by her mother.Seeing that she stopped, Cole asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Miss Corinne? Why are you not moving along?"Corinne looked at the painting on the wall and asked, "Mister Cole, you're a member of the Riveras, so you should know about the things that happened within the family very well, am I right?"Cole smiled. He wanted to look good, especially in front of the woman he was interested in. Therefore, he pretended that he knew everything like the back of his hand. "Of course! How can I not know about my own family's affairs?"Corinne smiled. His vanity was precisely what she was banking on to get him to talk. She asked, "I heard that Mister Maxwell's current wife is his second wife, am I right

    Cole was extremely eager and had already removed his shirt. He removed his belt from his trousers and said, "Don't bother! You have such fair and tender skin, and you smell heavenly too. There's no need to take a bath! Just take off your clothes and get on the bed!"Corinne blinked her eyes, lowered her head, and smiled shyly. "Okay, but you need to close your eyes. I get shy when I'm undressing in front of someone else."Her words were music to Cole's ears since she was starting to get into the moment."You love playing hard to get, don't you, my sweet little thing? Okay, I'll play along! I'll close my eyes right now, and I promise I won't peek when you take off your clothes!" Cole smiled at the end of his sentence and closed his eyes.Suddenly, Corinne's expression turned cold, and she took out her phone. She tapped on the camera app, switched it to video record, and aimed it right at Cole's face. She then made a point to speak seductively, "Mister Cole, who told you that I'm goo

    Cole was visibly panicked when he heard Lucas's voice. He immediately picked up his clothes that were strewn all over the ground and put them on."Lucas! It's me, Cole! I drank a bit of wine downstairs and felt a little dizzy, so I decided to rest here for a bit. It's just me and no one else! Is there something you need from me?"'Crap!' he thought, 'I'm doomed! Why is Lucas here?'Cole seemed to have heard Rosie's voice saying that the woman in his room was Lucas's secretary, and he also recalled her saying that she came with her boss.'This is bad!'Had Cole known that would happen, he would have never dared to deal with Lucas's men!"Open the door!" Lucas repeated. He did not bother to entertain any shenanigans from the other party.Cole was left without a choice. He did not dare to piss Lucas off, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, went to open the door, and smiled wretchedly. "Why are you here, Lucas?"Lucas's indifferent and cold gaze frightened Cole into backing away sl

    Rosie pursed her lips and sighed. "Some people progress pretty quickly in their relationship and end up sleeping together after meeting for the first time. We're probably too conservative, Anya. I don't understand how any girl could sleep around like that..."As soon as the girls that Anya brought overheard that, they took out their cell phones right away and texted their friends to come over and see the commotion. That was exactly the kind of effect Anya intended to achieve.Abya wanted everyone to witness for themselves that Corinne was an unchaste woman who slept with a random man. That way, Corinne would fall behind in the race to win Jeremy's heart.Despite Anya's malicious thoughts, she had a kind yet helpless expression on her face as she sighed."Even though things progressed too quickly between Corinne and Cole, they're both single, and they have the freedom to do what they want with each other. We shouldn't be busybodies. Just let them spend their time with each other!"

    Lucas stiffened slightly, turned around to look at the source of the voice, and saw Corinne slipping through the crowd of onlookers from behind.She walked up naturally to Lucas and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mister Lucas?"Cole, Anya, and Rosie were all shocked by what happened. They were dumbstruck as to why Corinne was outside.Lucas looked at her intently and asked, "Where did you go?"Corinne answered calmly, "I didn't go anywhere. I was waiting downstairs for you to come back, but when I saw a lot of people running upstairs, I thought that maybe something serious happened. I followed everyone up to see what was happening. I heard you calling my name as soon as I came up, so I can't help but feel curious as to why you'd look for me here."Lucas was speechless. 'How am I supposed to answer her? Do I tell her that I thought she was fooling around with another man?'Rosie did not believe Corinne one bit, so she came forward to cast doubt on the latter's stat

    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
