Corinne paused what she was doing for a second and simply said, "I know."Edmund was stunned. "If you knew, why didn't you come back to talk to him? Surely any misunderstanding could be cleared up if you just talked to Mister Jeremy face-to-face."In the time he worked for Jeremy, Corinne was the first woman Edmund had met who never took Jeremy seriously. It was only after getting to know her that he realized she was not the type of girl whose mission in life was to marry into a wealthy family, nor did she intend to gain fame and status with the help of a man. In fact, marrying into the Holden family held no allure to her at all.Simply put, Corinne was a straightforward, down-to-earth, independent, and mysterious girl. She knew what she wanted and was not afraid to go after it. In the three months she lived in Holden's estate, she never once overstepped her boundary.She did her part in pretending to be Jeremy's wife and did not attempt to use the Holden family's influence or powe

Edmund swallowed back what he was about to say to greet Jeremy."Welcome back, Mister Jeremy.""Thank you. Take us out of here now," Jeremy said coldly."Wait," said Corinne. She turned to look at Jeremy and said angrily, "Mister Jeremy, why did you drag me into your car? I'm going to get out if you can't give me a good reason!"Jeremy did not look at her. Instead, he lowered his eyes and took out an exquisite metal cigarette holder from the inner pocket of his suit jacket. He opened the holder with his slender fingers, plucked out a cigarette, and tapped it on the holder out of habit."Why? Do you find yourself disgusted to be sitting in my car?" Jeremy asked mockingly. The way he spoke made it obvious to Corinne that he was itching for a fight.She frowned unhappily and said, "I didn't mean it that way. It's just I don't want anybody to get the wrong idea. It's not like we're close enough to share the same car."'We're. Not. Close. Enough. Man, this girl really knows where to

Corinne immediately understood what Jeremy implied, causing her to instinctively avert her eyes away from his."What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I take anything that belongs to your family?"After saying that, she quickly opened the door in a bid to get out of the car. However, just like the first time, she failed to do that because the door was locked again.Jeremy moved closer to her, so close that she could feel his warm breath on her neck. "Why are you panicking if you said you didn't steal anything?"Corinne was shocked by his closeness that she suddenly went limp with numbness. "What do you think you're doing? Get away from me!"Her instinct caused her to push him away, but instead of doing that, she accidentally punched his left eye, exactly where he was bleeding.Jeremy let out a muffled groan, and his hand immediately shot up to cover his left eye. The pain was so intense that his brows became tightly drawn.Seeing that made Corinne panic even more. "I'm s

Corinne blinked awkwardly and quickly moved her eyes away. She then sat back down in her seat."Umm… Please bear with the pain a little if your eye still hurts. We should be arriving at the hospital soon."Jeremy did not say anything. Instead, he leaned back against the seat and looked at her.At that moment, Corinne felt conflicted. On the one hand, she did not want to have anything to do with Jeremy, but on the other, she was very worried that she had caused him to go blind.She dug her fingers anxiously into her palm when Jeremy suddenly called out her name."Corinne."She thought his eye was hurting again, so she quickly turned toward him and asked, "What's the matter? Did the pain come back again?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked probingly at her. "What's your real relationship with Aaron of Newmoon Group?"The sudden question caught her off guard. There she was, worrying about his eye, and he asked her something like that."It's like I told you. He's my husband, and

Jeremy was probably in a lot of pain since he did not even light up his cigarette, which he held between his fingers throughout the entire car ride. After the car stopped, he casually threw the cigarette into the trash can before getting out of the car.Corinne looked at him getting out of the car while a multitude of emotions fought to dominate her heart.Hesitating a little, she said, "Umm… I won't be getting out of the car with you. I'll wait here for your results to come out, and I'm willing to pay whatever medical fees you've incurred because of me."Jeremy paused in his movement and turned his head slightly to look unhappily at her.Seeing that, Edmund quickly cleared his throat and said, "Miss Corinne, I think it's best you accompany Mister Jeremy to see the doctor. It won't be safe for him to walk around alone with his eye hurt, and I can't park the car here since it's the emergency lane for the ambulance. I have to park the car somewhere else."Corinne looked outside the

"What?" asked Jeremy indifferently as if he did not think he did anything wrong.Corinne glared at him and said, "You're a guy so why did you ask for the OB-GYN's number? Aren't you embarrassed at all?"Jeremy looked down at her condescendingly and smirked. "The OB-GYN is for you."She knew what he was getting at and an alarm bell instantly went off in her head. She frowned and took a deep breath to compose herself. After squeezing out a smile on her face, she said, "Thank you but I don't need to see an OB-GYN specialist. I've always made sure to keep my s*x life clean so I have no problem down there."Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure about that?"Although Edmund did not find any record of Corinne having visited any OB-GYN specialist, Jeremy was suspicious of her ever since he saw her retching for no good reason. The fact that she was trying to avoid the whole conversation made him even sure she was pregnant.'She's pregnant huh and it's mine.' He was going to get to the b

"Please stop joking around, Mister Jeremy. Why do I need to go for a check-up when I'm not sick?" Corinne mustered all her strength to pull her hand away from his grip but failed to do so. She was on the brink of exhaustion.'Where's that Edmund? Why isn't he back here yet?' she thought."Just what are you afraid of, Corinne?"Jeremy stood up and pulled her to him. He looked straight into her eyes condescendingly as though he was trying to read her mind.Feeling guilty, Corinne subconsciously shifted her gaze away from his."You're reading too much into this, Mister Jeremy. I'm just worried that I might bump into someone I know. Imagine what my husband would think then? Me; A married woman, going to see an OB-GYN specialist with someone else other than my husband! Why, that would ruin both of our reputations!"Jeremy scoffed. "Why should we worry about what our husbands or others think of us when we have done nothing wrong? Let's go, Miss Corinne.""Let go of me! I'm not going

Twenty days.'That means she got pregnant after leaving me! The baby in her tummy belongs to her and her husband!' Jeremy was gripping the paper so hard that his knuckles started to make popping sounds. He gritted his teeth and flung the paper coldly toward Corinne's face."You know how to play it close huh, Corinne! It didn't take you long to get pregnant with another man after leaving me, did it!"'How rude of him!' Corinne was angry at the way he was talking to her. She picked up the blood test result and looked at it quizzically. 'Why does it say I'm pregnant for twenty days only? What's going on here?'She was as confused as anyone else because she should be two and a half months pregnant by then. Plus, she was with any other man apart from Jeremy so how could she get pregnant again?All of this happened so unexpectedly but after thinking about it, she thought it might just as well since she could use this to end things with Jeremy once and for all. She took a breath to colle

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
