Corinne's lips curled up slightly, and she said to Anya with a smirk, "Miss Anya, I've already taken off Consort Aileen's costume and folded it up on the make-up table backstage. Remember to get someone to collect it from there later."The costume looks so well-made; it seems to be a dress with high-class tailoring. It's best if you could get someone to check the costume and put it away. I won't be responsible if it gets lost or if someone else damages it!"Corinne spoke calmly and nonchalantly, but the atmosphere around her suddenly did not feel right anymore.Anya's and Rosie's expressions stiffened, and they were unsure how to react at that moment. They could only glare at Corinne secretly while anxiously observing Edgar's reaction.Edgar's warm expression had turned cold, and he glanced at Anya sitting in a wheelchair with an innocent face before looking at Corinne, who had already removed her makeup. He then frowned and sank into a pensive silence.Corinne smiled innocently a

Anya tried her best not to look guilty, but her expression was very awkward as she responded to Edgar."Grandpa, I..."Rosie collected her thoughts rapidly and spoke for her best friend.'Don't listen to Corinne's nonsense, Mister Edgar. She couldn't have sung 'Farewell, My Love' earlier. Does she look like someone who could sing opera? She's just an ordinary employee in Lucas's company who came from a poor background in the countryside. She wouldn’t have had the chance to learn opera because her family is so poor!"Rosie then turned to Corinne, glared at her, and belittled her sarcastically."You're just jealous because you saw Anya getting the applause and appreciation from Mister Edgar and the guests. That's why you came over to take the credit and make yourself known!"Do you think anyone will believe your one-sided statement that you were the singer earlier? The other performers can testify that the one who just came on stage was Anya!"Rosie's 'righteousness' made Edgar a

Edgar did not buy her story.Face darkening, he scoffed and said, "She hurt her leg, not her vocal cords. Don't worry. She just needs to sing notes to prove her singing ability. It's not like I'm asking her to do something that'll tire her out."Rosie's eyes wavered. "But—""There's no but!"Edgar was becoming impatient. He ignored Rosie and glanced at Anya sharply before turning to look at Corinne again."So? Which one of you will sing first?"Anya knew it would be hard to get out of it, so she forced a smile and said, "Actually… It doesn't matter who gets to sing first! Corinne, which of us do you think should sing first?"Corinne looked at Anya. Although Anya smiled sweetly, her eyes were filled with guilt and menace. It was obvious she was telling her to get out there as soon as possible so she would not lose the good impression she had given Edgar.Corinne found it laughable. 'Is she really threatening me when her fake image is about to be exposed? As if I'll ever be scare

Again, Edgar did not buy her story.Instead, he asked, "Would someone please get her a glass of water?"Anya was speechless. After drinking the water brought by the servant, she did not come up with any more excuses; she had no choice but to sing.'I've been practicing for a few months, so I should be as good as Corinne…' thought Anya.She sang the same verse as Corinne, but her voice broke at the end, making the audience giggle.Anya was horribly embarrassed. She had never felt so humiliated, so she quickly tried to explain herself. "I'm sorry, Grandpa! My throat is really sore, so—""Oh, really? Your throat is sore, huh?" Edgar heartlessly interrupted her. "You sang so beautifully when you pretended to be Consort Aileen. Do you really take me for an old fool? Do you think I can't tell your voice is totally different from hers?"Anya's eyes reddened. She looked like she was about to cry."No! Grandpa, I'm not lying. It's really because of my sore throat… I…"Edgar frowned and

Anya—sitting in her wheelchair—dug her nails into her palms angrily when she saw Corinne following Edgar to the study.At that moment, Sunny stepped out from the crowd and asked in confusion, "Anya, why are you in a wheelchair? Rosie, what happened?"Afraid of being asked to check his homework by Lucas, Sunny had been hiding in the family room playing games with his cousins, and by the time he came out, a crowd had already gathered. Not knowing what happened, he immediately went up to see.Rosie was still angry about the whole thing. "That b*tch Corinne pushed Anya down the stair, causing her to twist her ankle. I wonder who's the b*stard who brought her to this party!"Sunny frowned in disbelief. "That's not possible. Rosie, you shouldn't speak nonsense! Corinne would never do something like that."Anya snapped out of her trance and looked up vehemently at Sunny upon hearing his response. The pain in her heart intensified, and there was an unprecedented look of gloominess in her
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 609
Sunny was as shocked as anyone. "Damn it! How did this happen? Does Grandpa actually accept Corinne as his granddaughter? Doesn't that make her my 'cousin' then?"At that moment, Anya's face had darkened. Unable to keep up her innocent act, she glared furiously at Corinne.'Screw you, Corinne! Go to hell! You piece of sh*t, Corinne! How dare you steal what should have been mine away from me? If it weren't for you, I would've been the one standing on that stage receiving praise from Grandpa. Corinne, you b*tch! Mark my words, I will make you pay for what happened today if it's the last thing I do!'To prevent herself from exploding in front of others, Anya composed herself and said, "I'm tired. Rosie, take me back to the guest room!"Rosie, too, was furious at Corinne's sudden good fortune, but alas, there was nothing she could do about it. She pushed Anya away from the crowd with the thought of coming up with a countermeasure once they returned to their room.…Corinne followed E

How could Corinne say no to her own grandparents? Not only did they have to bear the pain of losing their daughter and granddaughter, but they even had to endure the loss brought on by Alzheimer's disease.'Mom will definitely be sad to see Grandpa and Grandma like this…' thought Corinne.Sunny rubbed his chin and asked, "Does that mean you're my honorary cousin from now on?"Corinne raised her eyebrow and gave him a side-eye. "Yeah. Are you happy about it?"Sunny lifted up his chin and said arrogantly, "Tsk! What's there to be happy about? It's not like I don't already have a sister of my own."Corinne simply chuckled at his response, turned around, and walked away.Sunny frowned before chasing after her."Hey, where are you going?""I'm going to spend some time with Grandma Gertrude."Sunny lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and matched her stride for stride."Wait for me. I want to go with you."Corinne looked sideways at him. She did not stop him but simply let him b

"I thought she was a good person, so I always treated her with respect as though she was my sister, but she kept challenging my limits repeatedly…"Not only that, she tried to steal everything I hold dear. I might have a good temper, but that doesn't mean I'll allow anyone to take advantage of me like that. When push comes to shove, it's time I stand up to her!"Rosie nodded in agreement. Anya was her ride and die. "Anya, what should we do now? We can't let Mister Edgar take her in as his granddaughter!"A sinister glint flashed across Anya's eyes before she cooed pitifully, "Rosie… I don't know what to do either. I'm afraid we can't win against Corinne… You know how formidable a foe she is too."Rosie was not going to give up like that. "That doesn't mean we should let her get away with it!""I'm actually more worried about you, Rosie…" said Anya meaningfully."You're more worried about me?" repeated Rosie in confusion.Anya put on a worried expression and said, "Yeah… I think

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
