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

Maxwell felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of that gaze and got slightly stunned as he was taken aback.He was attracted by a familiar bearing of the girl who was around Anya's age. He became slightly dazed as if he thought of the past. However, he did not look at the girl for too long, and he walked straight out the entrance.Corinne's gaze did not follow him to continue observing either. Her complicated expression finally returned to calmness.Maxwell once hurt and betrayed her mother, giving her mother no way out but to run away from home with her when she was still at a very young age. That was why Edgar disliked him so much!Corinne had no memories of her father, not even a blurry shadow. She figured this jerk probably did not take good care of her much when she was a child. Therefore, for a child, there was nothing to remember about him! "Emily!"Just when Corinne was spacing out and lost in thoughts, a pair of aged hands suddenly grabbed her

Sunny sighed and explained to her, "My grandma has Alzheimer's, so she often mistakes people for someone else."Corinne nodded, "Oh, I see."At that moment, Gertrude—who already walked off—turned around to look at Corinne, asking, "Emily, what would you like for dinner tonight?"Corinne felt complicated that she was mistaken for her mother. After giving it a thought, she smiled at her and said, "I'll just have my favorite!"Gertrude smiled with tears. "Alright! Pork roast it is. It's your favorite! I'll have Missus O'Brien go and get some pork shoulder now."Edgar turned around and looked meaningfully at Corinne as well, then he brought his wife upstairs for her medication.Feeling a little troubled, Sunny continued explaining to Corinne, "My grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's after my father's ex-wife went missing. Her condition is unstable. You weren't frightened just now, were you?"Corinne shook her head. "I'm fine."Maxwell initially already wanted to leave, but he cam

Corinne smiled at him and answered politely, "Hello, Mister Edgar, I am Corinne Carew. I'm twenty this year."Edgar squinted, looking carefully at her as if he was lost in thoughts. "Twenty. Your parents are?"Corinne said, "I come from an ordinary family. You probably don't know my parents, but they are both alive and well. They are living in New Capital City."If Edgar were to ask for more details, she would say her parents are Marvin and his wife. He never treated the Carews as her family, but she did not wish to reveal the true situation with her family there and attract unnecessary suspicion.Edgar nodded. "My wife didn't frighten you, did she? It's because you resembled our long-lost daughter and granddaughter a little that she mistook you for someone else."Corinne smiled calmly. "It's fine. I wasn't frightened. I understand her feelings very well. It's also my honor to bear a little resemblance to your daughter and granddaughter."Edgar looked at the girl before his eyes
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 585
Edgar saw Gertrude mistaking Corinne for her long-lost daughter earlier, so he got an idea to take Corinne in to be like a granddaughter to them!Fortunately, Anya was present, and she was alert enough to cut Edgar off, not giving Corinne a chance to say yes!What a joke! If Corinne managed to get the Lovelaces as her connection, even if she would just be like a granddaughter to them, it would make the family background of a country bumpkin like Corinne more presentable! She would then have more confidence to steal Jeremy away from Anya, would she not? How could Anya allow Corinne to walk over to her? It was impossible!Corinne answered Anya indifferently, "I heard that it's Mister Lucas's grandfather's birthday today, so I came to celebrate with him after work."Anya was having incomparably wicked thoughts, but she was smiling incredibly sweetly. Without bothering if Corinne was willing or not, she went up and linked arms with Corinne. "Is that so? I have to thank you for purposel

Corinne still did not budge. She wanted to avoid Anya like the plague. "Miss Anya, since it's a gift you've poured your heart into preparing, how would there be a problem? Also, even if I gave you some suggestions after I've taken a look now, it's too late for you to make amends! It's the thought that counts. As long as you have the thought, what others think doesn't matter. I think there's no need for me to help you take a look at it anymore."Anya, however, got closer with an innocent expression, wanting to take Corinne's hand again. "You're right, Corinne! It's the thought that mattered the most. But, I hope this thought of mine could be perfect! Also, of course, you can give me suggestions now, and I still have time to make amends! That's because I have two options prepared as a gift for Grandpa. I have a bit of trouble making a decision, so I still haven't finalized and picked one of the plans for Grandpa to see! That's why I wanted to ask you to help me pick which is better! C

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
