While accepting the document from Corinne, Lucas shot a cold glance at his brother. "Do your work."Having been scolded by his brother, Sunny lowered his head sullenly to continue working on the specimen paper, not daring to make another sound.Lucas skimmed through the sales proposal Corinne prepared, looking slightly dazed. After that, he squinted as if he seemed to be impressed by her business acumen.After a moment, he raised his eyebrow, looking at her slightly suspiciously. "You did this yourself?"Corinne nodded. "Yes, Mister Lucas. I had some ideas after doing market research with Mister Jason yesterday, so I did this sales proposal for you to have a look at. If there's no problem with it, I'll implement this plan."Lucas sneered while surveying her. "It's not bad, but it's unnecessary!"Corinne frowned. "Why?"Lucas closed the file and tossed it aside. "Food products are just an extremely small business to the company. We're not expecting to make a name for ourselves w

Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them."Corinne!" Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. "Is something up again, Miss Anya?"She was mocking her by adding the word "again," insinuating that she did plenty in the past. It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again! Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, "Corinne, why did you ignore me when you saw me?"What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?Corinne pursed her lips. "No, it's just that I saw you and Mister Lucas' secretary were having an enjoyable conversation, so I didn't want to interject.""Oh, I see!" Anya's pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne's ear as Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear, "Corinne, you won yesterday! However

Anya glared at Corinne's back coldly before hiding her vicious expression. When she turned around, her usual gentle and sweet smile was on her face again. She said to the new secretary in front of Lucas's office, "Sienna, please help me keep an eye on things at Lucas's end in the future! You know how many women want to approach my brother using work as an excuse. I don't wish for him to be harassed by those women with ill intentions who would bring unnecessary trouble to him."Sienna nodded in full support. "I understand, Miss Anya! Don't worry. I would do just that. I'll secretly notify you if anything were to happen here, especially the actions of a certain sales manager. I definitely won't let her have a chance to harass Mister Lucas!""Mm-hmm. I feel reassured that you're here! Sienna, I feel you're very special. You're unlike those tacky women. Wishing you all the best!" Anya gave her a friendly smile before turning around to enter Lucas's office.The secretary named Sienna b

"Alright. Leave the soup. You should go back to the hospital and be with the child," Lucas cut her off, then he picked up the document on the table and looked through it. His cold attitude clearly showed that he did not wish to talk to her anymore.The document in his hand happened to be the sales proposal Corinne just submitted. Looking at the well-organized words and data, Lucas could not help but think about what Corinne said before she left, regarding whether or not they should expand the sales of the food products. He was thinking that if his sister, Luna, was still alive, would she have never had these food products before because they were not promoted well enough? If she managed to have her favorite childhood snacks, would she start reminiscing about their past and think of returning home to visit her brother?Perhaps the sales proposal Corinne drew up could be implemented.Seeing that her brother did not wish to listen to her or even take another look at her anymore, Anya

After Sunny ran out of the office, he asked the secret at the door, "Hey, where's the office for the lady who went in to deliver a document to my brother?"Sienna stood up. "Mister Sunny, are you asking about Corinne?"Sunny nodded. "Yes, she's the one!"Feeling a little confused, Sienna asked, "Mister Sunny, why are you looking for Corinne? Do you know her very well?"Sunny frowned in annoyance. "Do I have to tell you why I'm looking for her?"Sienna quickly waved in a panic, smiling apologetically, and said, "Oh, no. No, no. I was just asking. Well, go straight ahead, turn right then turn left, and you'll arrive at the sales manager's office. Corinne's there. Do you need me to take you there?""No need!" Sunny said coldly, then he immediately went straight ahead and turned left to look for her office as he could not wait anymore.…After Sunny found the sales manager's office, he leaned against the door to look inside. It was after he confirmed Corinne was in there that he im

Corinne was still distracted and playing her game. "Yes, Mister Sunny. Go ahead. I'm listening!"Sunny got up and put his arms on her desk, leaning closer to her, and questioned her, "Tell me the truth. Why did you leave the Holdens?"Hearing this question, Corinne stopped moving her mouse for a moment so brief it was barely noticeable. Then, she pursed her lips a little, still not batting an eye. "I've completed my mission, so of course, I should leave."Sunny's handsome and youthful eyes were filled with confusion. "Mission? What mission?"It was only then glanced at him indifferently. "Didn't you already know this for a long time? Mister Jeremy was never serious about marrying me from the beginning. He was just asking me to help him deal with the elders in his family! I've completed my mission after that, so if I don't leave, I'll truly become your sister's love rival, won't I?"Sunny was taken aback, staring at the way she looked as she said it so casually. He pursed his lips,

Corinne was speechless. As expected, she overestimated his intelligence.With a sound of a ding, the elevator arrived and the door slowly opened.Corinne reached out her hand to select a floor again, preparing to go back upstairs on her own. At the same time, she said to Sunny indifferently, "Mister Sunny, if you don't want to go back to face Mister Lucas, you can leave."Sunny wanted to leave but not on his own. Instead, he dragged Corinne out of the elevator with him.After she was dragged out by him again, Corinne frowned helplessly. "Mister Sunny, can you not bother others when they're working?" Sunny did not agree with her. "Didn't you say you've finished everything you've supposed to do? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "Are we the same? You're a son of a wealthy man and I'm just a person working for a paycheck. If I leave my position without permission, my salary will be docked, do you understand?"Sunny acted like a spoiled, willf

Corinne could not wrap her head around it.Sunny chose the pair of small walnut sculptures in his hand. He said, "I am not related to my grandparents by blood, but they've been quite good to me all these years. They are just not too nice to my sister."Corinne was still spacing out. Sunny thought she was worried about paying for him in advance, so he seriously promised her, "Don't worry. I'll pay you back! My brother said he'll restore my cards' limits after I pass all my subjects."Corinne regained her senses and immediately burst out laughing. "You might as well just tell me straight away that you won't return the money to you, then!"Sunny frowned. "Corinne, don't look down on me. I'll be able to pass them sooner or later!"Corinne did not care about his results. After giving it a thought, he said, "I can help you pay for the gift, and you don't have to repay me! However, you have to promise to do one thing as a trade."Sunny looked at him with his eyes widened. "What do you w

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
