Anya was seated in her wheelchair and smiling sinisterly and smugly. It was a good thing Lucas brought her to this hospital. If not she would not have seen Jeremy and Corinne going into the OB-GYN department together.Thus, she bribed the OB-GYn specialist to tamper with the blood test result because she knew Jeremy would not pay any attention to her and Joey anymore once he found out Corinne was pregnant with his kid. No way was she going to let that happen!'Jeremy must think Corinne is a loose woman after finding out the baby she's carrying isn't his. He'll stop thinking about her now. Ha! You failed to steal Jeremy away from me this time, Corinne Carew.'Suddenly, Rosie's voice came from behind her. "Anya, why did you come here without telling me?"Anya turned her wheelchair around and beamed an innocent smile at Rosie. "Oh, I came out to get some fresh air 'cause I was feeling a little suffocated in the ward. How's my brother, Rosie?"Rosie frowned with sadness at the thought

Meanwhile, Corinne came home in a taxi.Throughout the whole taxi ride, her mind flitted between Jeremy's injuries, the look he gave her before she left, and the misunderstanding between them.'Gah! This is so frustrating!' she thought.Mimi came to rub her legs as soon as Corinne entered the door.Corinne changed into her indoor slippers before scooping Mimi up and burying her head against its fur. Only then did she feel a bit better.Aaron was brewing coffee in the kitchen. Seeing her back home, he asked, "Why are you back so early? Did you get anything out of the party?"Corinne sat down on the sofa with Mimi in her arms and leaned back lazily. "Yeah, I did."Although she was forced into being the Lovelaces' honorary granddaughter, it could still be counted as getting something out of the party since it would be easier for her to look into all that happened in the Lovelace family.Aaron sensed something was off about her so he asked, "Then why do you look so sad?""I'm just

A few days later, in Kanton City.Corinne took an early flight to Kanton City to attend the World Hacker Conference. Now that she was in a different city, she did not have to deliberately hide from Jeremy; she could take public transportation without worrying she would bump into him.Coincidentally, Xante was in Kanton City for business so she arranged for someone to pick Corinne up at the airport. Corinne did not plan to stay in Kanton City for long so she did not bring much baggage. She only packed with her the things that would fit into a backpack.She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked casually to the exit."Corinne!" someone suddenly shouted out her name.She instinctively stopped walking and looked toward the direction of the sound.A man wearing sunglasses was walking toward her. He immediately took off his sunglasses to reveal his handsome baby face as soon as he was standing in front of her."It's you, Corinne! What are you doing here in Kanton City?"'Ah, it

'It happened during Grandpa Edgar's birthday party? So after shoving me into his car, Jeremy left to fight Lucas? No wonder he came back with all those injuries on his face. But why would he do something like that? Could it be he's trying to make Lucas pay for pouring coffee on me? No, that can't be it. As Joey's dad, he should be siding with Anya. He'd never hurt her brother for a woman like me, would he?'Seeing Corinne all zoned out, he waved his hand in front of her. "Hey, what are you thinking about? Have you gone dumb?"Corinne snapped out of her trance and composed herself before looking sternly at Sunny and ordering him, "You're not allowed to go to the World Hacker Conference. You're too young for that so go home now or else I'll tell on you to your brother!"After that, she did not wait for his reply; she simply turned around and walked out of the airport.Sunny was a little cowed by her threats but he did not want to give up the chance to attend the World Hacker Conferen

"Boy, you do know you're in a taxi and the car in front of us is a luxury car, right? How can a rundown car like mine ever catch up to a car that costs hundreds of thousands?" the taxi driver asked helplessly.This made Sunny panic even more. Of course, he knew the car in front of him was a luxury car and not only that, it was the top-of-the-range limited edition model released by a brand called BG for their centennial anniversary. The car, called 'Carnival', was the only one of its kind in the world so even the rich could not buy it if they wanted.Before this, Lucas had his eyes on the car. He even flew to BG headquarters to order it directly from the owner but unfortunately, the car was already bought by a mysterious buyer who wished to remain anonymous.Therefore, Sunny found it odd to see Corinne getting into Carnival at the airport. 'Corinne knows the owner of Carnival? I wonder what their relationship is! No! I must find out why she came to Kanton City.'After thinking about

The burly driver and the taxi driver started cursing each other nonstop.Not knowing what to do, Sunny looked at them with complete shock. 'Sigh! Guess I have no choice but to find another taxi,' he thought.Not holding out much hope, he looked around his surroundings and as expected, there was not a single taxi in sight. He was in the throes of his despair when a red sports car suddenly stopped in front of him.The driver was a woman with curly hair flowing down from the top of her head. She was dressed in a solid color silk spaghetti-strap dress. Everything about her face was exquisitely painted while her lips were blazing with a passionate red color.The woman threw him a flirtatious smile while merriment danced in her eyes. "What's the matter? Did you get yourself into an accident?""Are you blind? Isn't it obvious what happened?" said Sunny angrily. He was in no mood to talk to anyone.Instead of getting angry, the woman simply smiled. "Where are you going, kid? It'll be har

The red roadster was speeding very fast along the road."Yes! It's that car over there! Follow that Carnival!" Sunny pointed excitedly at the car Corinne was in as soon as it came into sight. "Hurry! Don't lose it."Xante immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car shot off toward Corinne's car. The distance between the two cars got shorter and shorter.Sunny was impressed by the car's speed. He turned toward Xante and said, "Not bad at all! Your car is certainly very fast.""Yeah, it does its job well," Xante replied with a smile while keeping her eyes on the road. Her curly hair was flying softly in the wind, making her look free-spirited and sexy.At that moment, Sunny could not help but be stunned by her beauty but he quickly snapped out of it. He fixed his eyes back on the road and it was then, he realized something was wrong.Without him realizing it, Xante caught up to Corinne's car. They were already driving past it! Sunny's smile froze on his face. He snapped his

"No, you don't understand. My cousin grew up poor. She had to rely on scholarships to get her through school."Xante chuckled. "I see. She's lucky to have a cousin who cares about her so much."Sunny lifted his chin proudly and said, "Of course!"Half an hour later."We're here." Xante pointed to the building in front of them with her chin.Sunny immediately frowned when he saw the sign "Eden International Spa Center".'Gah! This is so frustrating!' he thought.Out loud he said, "I'm sorry but you must have gotten it wrong. The place I want to go to is Eden International Private Club, not the Spa Center."Xante smiled. "Is that so? Forgive me but I only know this particular Eden International."Sunny was speechless. 'Ugh, forget it. I'll just take a taxi to Eden International Private Club!'"In any case, thank you for giving me a ride. I won't take up any more of your time then. Ciao!" said Sunny before getting out of the car.However, he did not get far when he heard a heav

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"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
