Sunny said sheepishly, "Lucas, I got tired after doing the homework this morning, so I went out for a stroll. I wanted to let my brain take a break for a while.""You got tired after doing the homework?" Lucas sneered as if he heard a terrible joke. He squinted his eyes, looking strict. "You didn't get a single question right, yet you dare to let your brain rest. If your brain takes any more rest, it's going to rot. What's the difference between that and having no brains at all?"Sunny hung his head, feeling ashamed. "I—"Lucas glared at his brother in disappointment. "Go and do your homework now. You at least have to solve two questions correctly before I return. Otherwise, your card is not going to just be temporarily frozen!""Alright. I got it!" Sunny turned around dispiritedly. He was very embarrassed after being reprimanded, so he did not dare to take another look at Corinne before he left in a hurry.After Sunny left, Corinne saw that Lucas was still firmly seated at her de

She should just forget it. She had to just endure it for the sake of investigating her mother's past.She would be able to see her mother's parents—in other words, her grandparents—tomorrow. She should be able to inquire about some things that happened back then from her mother's family. She would be able to get one step closer to the truth.When Lucas got to her office's door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning his head a little, and said, "Also, I've thought about it. The sale proposal you did this morning can be executed, so prepare to implement it."After Corinne regained her senses, she smiled very professionally and said, "Alright, Mister Lucas."Lucas did not reply anymore. He just went straight out of her office.Everybody left, so Corinne was the only person left in the office.She sat at their desk and subconsciously touched her belly. It was very flat, and she was not showing up yet. However, why did Lucas's words earlier sound like he already knew she was preg

Sunny crossed his arms, and he even put his legs on Corinne's desk arrogantly, which was a stark contrast to how he dared not make a sound in front of his brother.Corinne, however, did not even bother looking at him. She just concentrated on her work.Seeing that Corinne did not respond, Sunny frowned in dissatisfaction. He sat up straight and knocked hard on her desk. "Hello! Corinne, I'm talking to you!"Corinne glanced at him casually. "What's the matter? You can tell me straight if you want me to help you with your homework!"Sunny blinked awkwardly, then sneered arrogantly. "Did I say I wanted you to help me with my homework?""Oh. I must have read too much into it, then." Corinne did not look at him anymore, continuing to do her work.Seeing that she did not react again, Sunny's air of arrogance got a little weaker. "Corinne, my brother has frozen all of my cards, but there's an important esports competition in Camrod City that I want to participate in at the end of the mo

It was strange. Lucas spent a lot of money hiring various famous tutors for him, but no matter how they broke the questions down to explain to him, he could never understand them. However, after Corinne explained them with the diagrams she drew, he understood it easily!After she was done explaining one question, Corinne slid the paper to Sunny. "Alright. I've explained the question to you. All of these formulas apply to what you'll be tested on now. You need to pick the formulas yourselves for the rest of the questions. You don't have to show it to me after you're done. You can just show it to your brother straight away!"It was so rare for Sunny to be so obedient. He took the practice test that was almost shredded into pieces by his brother earlier and redid the whole thing.Doing his homework next to Corinne was not as nervous and stressful as doing it next to his brother. After Sunny became relaxed, it was easier for him to focus and think. He went from not understanding most of

"Yes, I did it myself." Sunny nodded, then he asked nervously, "Lucas, did I get it right this time?" Unexpectedly, Lucas slammed the test paper on the table. "What I want is for you to improve yourself, not to resort to cheating!"Sunny was frightened. He instinctively took a step back, saying innocently, "Lucas, I didn't cheat!""You didn't even know how to solve one question just now, yet you could solve so much after going out for a while?" Lucas glared at Sunny, feeling disappointed that he failed to live up to his expectations. "Who are you trying to fool?"How could he believe that Sunny did it himself? Not only did Sunny get all the questions wrong, but he was absurdly wrong. Lucas could tell at a glance that Sunny did not even know the basic knowledge at all. That was why there was not even a need to correct his mistakes and explain them to him!At that moment, after he corrected his mistakes on this paper, he almost got 80 percent of the question right. Just with Sunny'

Sunny's haughty voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. "Hello? Who's this?"Corinne said, "It's me, Mister Sunny."Hearing that it was Corinne, Sunny's tone got slightly better. "Corinne, have you gotten off work?"Corinne said, "Soon. There's another ten minutes to go.""Alright! I'll go over to pick you up now. Get in the car from the alley near the company later. Remember to avoid being seen by my brother!" Sunny reminded her carefully.Corinne had a different interpretation of that. "I'm not doing anything shameful, so why should I deliberately avoid being seen by Mister Lucas?"Sunny stammered a little, "Well, because my brother doesn't like me getting too close to you. I can't let him know it's me who brought you to Grandpa's birthday party! Just avoid him. Otherwise, I'll get an earful from my brother again!"Corinne sneered mockingly. "So that's what it is"Sunny seemed to feel that it was not nice, so he said, "Don't mind it too much. My brother ha

Corinne looked in the direction of Sunny's gaze when she heard what he said. Jeremy just got out of the car. He was in a dark suit, his hair was slicked back, and he had deep-set and well-defined features. He was exuding a mature and dangerous air.She knew she would bump into him there that day, but she just did not expect it would be as soon as she arrived.Sunny got out of the car in excitement. "Jeremy, you're here early too!""Mm-hmm," Jeremy responded, shooting a barely noticeable glance at Corinne, who was getting out of the car after Sunny.Corinne did not look at him. She just looked around, taking in the environment of Lovelace's residence.Sunny said, "Jeremy, my sister is already here. She must be waiting for you! Come on, let's get inside together!"…It was lively in the Lovelace's residence. Quite several guests already arrived. One by one, they surrounded the couch, giving Edgar his gifts and wishing him a happy birthday.Sunny went over with his gift as well. "

Anya was even deliberately imitating the missing Luna's habits and preferences all these years. She also had a cherry-red mole between her eyebrows as Luna did. She did all that for the sake of replacing Luna's position in her family's heart and letting them pour all their affection for Luna into Anya alone instead!Her brother, Lucas, for example, did it. He treated her as his sister, doted on her, tolerated her, and satisfied her every whim.However, none of the Lovelaces took pity on and loved her because she was a little like Luna.Anya was reluctant to admit defeat, and she did not give up either. She was scheming to ingratiate Edgar and his wife.That was because the Lovelaces were an important family among the wealthy families, and they were also friends with the Holdens for generations. If she was able to win the favor of the Lovelaces, she would gain a lot of connections. She would also have more support in marrying into the Holdens in the future.Therefore, she worked ha

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
