Sunny crossed his arms and sneered, feeling annoyed. "I'm a grown-up now. I'm a child! You have double standards, and you're favoring your lover over your brother!"Anya's face flushed. She was very embarrassed after her brother roasted her. However, she still looked happy, which showed that she did not hate being teased like this at all.However, the man next to her did not have any reactions at all. It was as if he was not the person who was teased along with Anya.Anya looked up at the man's expressionless face and asked, "Jeremy, can you go pick out the clothes with me now?"Jeremy fell silent for two seconds before he answered her indifferently, saying two words, "Let's go."Anya nodded in delight. "Alright. I'll take you there. It's behind the stage!"Jeremy put his hands in his pocket and walked toward the stage. He did not turn back and glanced at Corinne, who hid behind him and used him as a shield.Anya walked next to Jeremy. As she walked off, she suddenly turned back

Corinne focused her gaze and turned to look at the door of the banquet hall.Lucas was wearing a suit in a light color, walking in slowly with elegant steps. It looked as if he was born to stand out.One by one, all the guests went up to have a toast with him and greet him. It just looked like a group of admirers surrounding their revered figure.There was also a group of people who surrounded and cozied up to Jeremy when he just came in earlier. However, because Jeremy was too cold and he was not friendly to them at all, those people were sensible enough to step aside, not daring to disturb him anymore.Lucas, however, was very different from Jeremy. He was very good at dealing with those people who were flattering him. He raised a glass to them, nodded, and smiled, and he tactfully responded to people who were cozying up to him. However, while he was smiling and chatting with them, he was also exuding a barely noticeable indifference, and he did not smile with his eyes.While Co

Corinne said, "It's Miss Anya."Sorry, she lied!This was because she promised Sunny that she would not tell Lucas that it was Sunny who brought her in.However, if she said no one brought her in, and she sneaked in on her own, not only was this explanation impossible to believe, she might immediately get kicked out. Therefore, she could only lie that it was Anya who brought her in!Only by mentioning Anya, Lucas would be helpless. Even if he was unhappy, he could never bring himself to reprimand his precious sister!'It's Anya who brought Corinne in?' Lucas frowned.It was as Corinne expected, Lucas would not blame Anya; and out of respect for his beloved sister, he did not immediately get someone to come chase her out.Suddenly, Edmund rushed in. After giving it a thought, he saw where his employer was and immediately rushed over. "Mister Lucas, there is a phone call for you. It's urgent!"Lucas impatiently shot a cold glance at Corine, then he held out his hand to accept the

Corrine hurriedly caught up to that figure, and with a lunge, she blocked in front of him.He was a man dressed in a servant's uniform. He was not very young, appearing to be in his 40s."Who are you? Why are you running away?"With his path blocked off, he shook his head a little unnaturally and said, "I am an old servant here, I-I'm not running away. I'm just in a hurry to take some things from the kitchen and bring them to the banquet hall."Corrine squinted her eyes. "It was obvious that you were staring at me in secret, and you only ran off when you were found out by me!"The servant shook his head fervently. "No, I did not!"Corrine raised an eyebrow. "Don't want to be truthful, do you? Then I shall report you as a pervert to the head of your household!"He panicked and quickly said, "No, please don't! I didn't mean any harm!""Then tell me the truth, why were you spying on me just now?""I-I just feel that your side profile looks a lot like the young miss who went missi

Corinne turned a deaf ear to Rosie and continued to walk forward.Rosie, in her high heels, caught up with Corinne and lashed out harshly, "You failed to win Jeremy's heart, Corinne, and you'll fail to win Lucas's heart too! Someone as poor as you can probably only marry those nouveau riches in the countryside."Quit dreaming about winning the hearts of these rich men! Can't you look at yourself and stop trying to snatch away my man or Anya's man?"Corinne nodded curtly. "Fine! No problem! Can you get out of the way now?"Rosie was speechless because of how little of an effect her words had. "What's with the attitude, Corinne?""Didn't I already promise you I won't snatch the men you're after? What else do you want me to do?""You—""Rosie, Corinne," Anya's tender voice interjected, "What are you two arguing about?"Corinne and Rosie looked in the direction of the voice simultaneously and saw Anya dressed in a gorgeous costume. Her exquisitely done hair and makeup made her look

Anya groaned in pain and had a horrified, aggrieved look on her face. "Corinne! W-w-why did you push me?"Rosie was taken aback when she heard that and looked angrily at Corinne. "You're up to no good again, Corinne! What a vicious woman you are, harming Anya time and again!"Corinne's hands were hanging naturally by her sides, and she was stunned when facing the accusations from Anya and Rosie. Her lips twitched slightly, and she let out a soft snort.'Here we go again!'Anya tried every means to get Corinne to go to the birthday earlier, but since there was little success with the present, she pulled off one of her usual tricks.It was the same boring ploy that she used to do in the past.Rosie carefully helped Anya up and asked, "How are you feeling, Anya? Did you hurt yourself?"Anya had tears in her eyes, and she looked rather weak. "Rosie… My foot... It hurts...""Your foot? Oh no… Could it be a fracture? What do we do now?"Rosie checked Anya's foot anxiously, but ther

"Yes, sir!"Anya struggled stubbornly in Lucas's arms, and tears started to well up in her eyes."No... I'm fine, Lucas! I need to perform! I've already told Grandpa I've prepared a special gift for his birthday. He'll be very disappointed in me if I don't show up onstage. You know how long I've taken to prepare this gift, Lucas..."Lucas frowned and chastised, "Be a good girl, Anya! I'll explain the situation to Grandpa for you. Nothing is as important as your health right now, so stop making such a big fuss!"Anya cried, "No, Lucas! I don't want to! I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I don't want to give up now... Let me go, Lucas! I want to go on stage! I want to perform! I swear I'm fine..."Anya flailed about, hindering Lucas from moving forward. Nothing he said could persuade her, and there was nothing he could do about her situation.Rosie looked at the situation, feeling worried about her best friend's injury and the headache that her dream man Lucas had t

Rosie glared at Corinne and said, "Is that so difficult to understand, Corinne? I'm asking you to go onstage and take Anya's place to sing 'A Love Entranced'!"Corinne frowned slightly. "Me? Taking her place for the performance? How is that helpful?"Rosie rolled her eyes confidently and said, "It's very helpful! You'll be using heavy makeup when you're singing on stage, so no one can tell that you're not her if they don't look carefully! You can just go on stage, sing the song as Anya, and we'll treat it as if Anya was the one who came on stage to sing for the old man. No one will notice anything!"After hearing Rosie's idea, Anya pondered it momentarily and soon understood her best friend's intentions. Rosie deliberately tried to make a fool out of Corinne with the performance. It did not take a genius to figure out that a poor country girl like Corinne could never belt out an opera.Corinne's family finances and childhood environment hindered her from taking opera lessons.

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
