Jason did not answer her, but he did not shake her hands off either.After a while, there was finally some light. The manor's butler came rushing into the banquet hall with a flashlight in his hand."Dear guests, please do not panic. It's just a circuit trip. We've already asked someone to fix it, and the light will come back soon enough," announced the butler in a bid to reassure everyone."Please fix it as soon as possible. My girlfriend is afraid of the dark.""Ugh. That really gave us a fright.""It's okay. It's okay. There's no need to be scared. It's just a circuit trip."After a minute or so, the lights in the banquet hall came back on. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and went back to what they were doing.Unfortunately, Zeke—who was still standing in the middle of the dance floor—had already put on his clothes and was tying up his tie.He smirked at his friends and said, "Sorry guys. I finished the strip show when the electricity was out. Too bad you all didn't get to

Wanting Jeremy to carry him, Joey opened up his chubby little arms and kept calling out for Jeremy in that baby voice of his."Dada, Dada."Seeing that, the guests began to whisper among themselves."Is that Miss Anya's and Mister Jeremy's kid?""I think so. He's a spitting image of Miss Anya.""They're not even married yet. How can they have a kid together?""Why not? I mean, they've been together for the longest time and the only reason they're not married to each other is because both of their parents objected to them being together. Having a kid is just one of those sooner or later things since they're so madly in love with each other.""Hey, that kid is so cute!"Corinne began to feel like she was the third wheel in the situation, so she stepped a bit further from Jeremy.Lucas must have thought the same as her as he suddenly said, "Miss Carew, come over here. We're leaving soon."Corinne was relieved to know she could finally leave the party. She walked over to Lucas an

"I only went to the party because you asked me to. Look, what I'm saying is that it's fine if you don't want to give me a ride home, but you should at least drop me off at a place where I can hail a taxi," said Corinne.Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Miss Carew, you certainly have a lot of requests."Corinne brazenly looked back at him. "Any boss with a little bit of humanity left in him wouldn't have treated their staff the way you treated me."Lucas laughed."What's the matter, Miss Carew? You can't handle something as simple as this? I seem to recall you telling me that you're different from my sister. What was it again? "That she wouldn't be able to handle any hardships because she's a flower grown in a greenhouse while you only get better with every challenge that comes your way because you're like the weeds on the sidewalk which won't die no matter how much the others tried to kill it?"If that's the case, I look forward to you getting yourself out of this predicament. In fact,

Corinne stood alone in the emergency lane. There was only pitch-black darkness around her which would sometimes be punctuated with the light from an oncoming car. It was dangerous to walk on a highway as one could accidentally get hit by a car, so Corinne did not walk along the highway after she got out of the car. Instead, she turned on the flashlight on her phone so that the cars would know she was there and at the same time, she called Xante."Xante, where are you?""I'm in Yrimir, remember? You were the one who asked me to come here to negotiate the buying of Vita Company. I took the flight out this morning."Corinne pinched the space between her brows. 'Ugh, the pregnancy brain must've made me forget that Xante is out of the country.'"What's wrong, boss? How did Missus Benet's birthday party go?""It was okay. Do take care of yourself while you're in Yrimir. I'll ask Aaron to pick me up instead."Corinne hung up the phone and called Aaron. However, after waiting and waiti

"Alright, I'll get into the car. Thanks for doing this though."Corinne walked over to where the McLaren was parked. Tommy walked a few steps before her and respectfully opened the door for her.As soon as she got into the car, Corinne was enveloped in a thick haze of cigarette smoke. Jeremy was smoking in the car, and even though the car window was open, it still was not enough to make the smoke dissipate.'He's smoking more than usual… Seems like it was just one cigarette after another from when he was at Lunar Century Manor…' thought Corinne.Thinking of the baby in her tummy, Corinne was not happy about the second-hand smoke in the car, but she knew she had no right to complain about it since it was not her car. What she could do was roll down her window to make the smoke dissipate faster.After doing that, she said politely, "Thank you for giving me a ride, Mister Jeremy. You can just drop me off at the end of the highway and I'll take a taxi home."Jeremy leaned lazily agai

Jeremy's response stunned Corinne. She started to blush with embarrassment when she recalled what happened that fateful night.Jeremy's eyes softened when he saw her blushing like that. Her reaction was exactly what he had been hoping for. He wished that she would act shyly and nervously—like a girl with raging hormones—around him.After all, they had not seen each other for a month. He hated how she did not seem happy or surprised to see him. In fact, she completely ignored his existence."Corinne Carew," Jeremy called out her full name in that deep and seductive voice of his. Being called by one's full name was never a good thing in any kind of relationship.Corinne looked warily at him. "Mister Jeremy, if you have something you want to tell me, just say it!"He pinched her chin and tilted her face up."Why are you calling me Mister Jeremy instead of just Mister?"Corinne thought he was acting a bit odd. She could not tell whether he was unhappy or actually flirting with her.

Corinne did not care why he was doing this. It could be his desire to control her or it could be he was looking for some excitement. It did not matter having it all pointed to him not having no respect for her, which was what she hated the most.'He's so self-centered and overbearing! He thinks he only needs to crook his finger, and any woman will come running to be his mistress just because he's rich and powerful. Why, he's as delusional as ever!' thought Corinne.Thinking about all of that infuriated Corinne. She vehemently pushed away Jeremy's hand and shouted, "That's right! I only want Mister Lucas' money and not yours, because your money is dirty! I don't want dirty money!"'My money is dirty?'Jeremy's face darkened. He looked at her glumly, trying to suppress his anger. He was so used to being in the driver's seat in everything, so it was inevitable he would get angry when he met a woman who would not submit to him. All of his efforts of talking himself out of his anger wer

Corinne's phone rang just when Jeremy was in mid-sentence. She carried her phone in her hand since her gown had no pockets. She raised up her hand and saw the caller ID to be 'Hubby'.'Should I answer it? Wait a minute… Hubby?!'She was visibly confused. 'When did I save my husband's number? No, the question should be, when did I ever get myself a husband?'"Is this why you ran away from home a month ago?" Jeremy asked sullenly.The question pulled Corinne out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw Jeremy was looking down condescendingly at her phone screen. His eyes were tinged with a kind of suppressed anger that looked as if he was about to kill someone.Corinne had never seen that kind of expression on his face before so she was understandably shocked.Jeremy smiled bloodthirstily and said sarcastically, "I have it to hand it to you, Miss Carew. You've managed to snag a new husband in just one short month!"Corinne was speechless. She was still reeling from the shock of it a

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
