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

Corinne followed the usher into the private club. The World Hacker Conference was held on the highest floor of the building. She took the elevator up and noticed how tight the security was. This was good since it meant no one could sneak in nor could anyone leak out the members' information.After arriving at the venue, the usher bowed and went back downstairs, leaving Corinne to enter alone. It was dark inside, unlike other conferences. Every attendee was registered under their hacker name so that they could keep their real identity a secret. They were only there to learn the newest hacking technique from each other, not to make friends. The dim light meant it would be easier for the attendees to conceal what their masks could not. For example, the look in their eyes.It was very lively and crowded inside. It was more like a masquerade party than a conference, except that everyone was dressed in a similar style. In the middle of the hall, there were groups of people chatting and dri

Ghostlord immediately knew who Corinne was when he looked at the member code number displayed on her chest. He nodded at her and said, "Yeah. Hello."His voice was altered by the voice changer to sound like a heavy mechanical sound.Corinne smiled. "Why are you drinking here alone? You should go talk with other people.""I'm not interested in doing that," Ghostlord said after taking a sip of his wine.Corinne nodded and said, "True. I don't find it interesting either." She walked up to the chair that was positioned across from where he was sitting and asked politely, "Is it okay if I sit with you?"Ghostlord nodded and gestured gracefully with his hand for her to take a seat. "Please do."Corinne pulled out the chair and sat down. 'I'll take it as he doesn't mind talking to me since he didn't ask me to go away.'She suddenly recalled something. "Ghostlord, I remembered you told me you're married and your wife keeps you on a very tight leash the last time when we were both online

Corinne did not understand why Ghostlord would suddenly stare at her like that.'Why is he looking at me like that? Did my mask happen to fall off?' She instinctively touched her face to make sure the mask was still on it. Ghostlord's deep, dark eyes suddenly sent alarm bells ringing in her head.Corinne made sure she was well-disguised before coming to the conference. She paid attention to every little detail including her eyes. She put on a pair of realistic-looking blue color contact lenses that made her look like she was born with blue eyes.Ghostlord kept staring at her for a good long while before turning his gaze away. For a moment there, he thought Jade Rabbit's eyes looked like Corinne's but after taking a closer look, he discovered they were of a different color.'I'm overthinking. How can Jade Rabbit possibly be that little rascal?' After regaining his senses, he sighed nonchalantly. He then raised his glass and said, "Drink with me."Corinne wanted to have a drink too

Corinne worshiped Ghostlord since she was young. This coupled with her sympathy for him as a fellow in arms made it impossible for her to leave him to the wolves. However, she had no idea how she was going to carry the drunk and heavy out of the venue.After taking a deep breath, she got down to work. She put his arms around her shoulder and slowly dragged his body out of the club. A trail of whispers followed her but she could not care less what the others were saying about her and Ghostlord.Corinne was rife with exhaustion after finally getting Ghostlord to the parking lot. The driver got down from the car to help her and it took two of their combined efforts to shove the six feet three inches man into the car.After getting into the car, the driver turned around and asked her respectfully, "Miss Corinne, where do you want to go now?"Corinne panting heavily by then. She turned to look at the sleeping man beside her and said with resignation, "Xante has already booked me a hotel

Xante sighed. "It wasn't us, boss. He crashed into a glass door himself and broke it. The doctor says he has a mild concussion and he's still unconscious as we speak."The corners of Corinne's mouth started twitching. 'Seems like the reason Sunny's still alive until now is 'cause his family protected him very well. It's no wonder Lucas keeps such a close eye on him. Sunny does give the vibe of easily dying if no one is watching over him.'"Okay. I understand the situation now. Keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't run around when he wakes up. I'll be at the hospital soon.""Don't worry, boss. You can certainly count on me."After hanging up the phone, Corinne turned to look at Ghostlord. She had a change of heart. 'It would be unethical of me to take off his mask. I mean, he's unconscious and the number one fear of a hacker is for other people to find out their identity.'She decided it was in her best interest to keep Ghostlord's identity a mystery since he was her ido

Lucas found it highly suspicious that a young woman who came from an impoverished background and who just recently graduated would have the money to stay in a five-star hotel.A corner of Corinne's lips started twitching. "Mister Lucas, please don't tell me you think I have a crush on you.""It doesn't matter whether you have a crush on me or not but let me warn you, you better not do anything you shouldn't, or else things could end up very badly for you," said Lucas with a threatening smile.Corinne smiled and shrugged. "I'm not plotting anything if that's what you're implying and if you don't believe me, well, that's not my problem."At that moment, the elevator door opened again and around a dozen or so people surged in. Most of them had a laptop in their hands and some of them were laughing and talking to each other. They seemed to be on their way to attend an event together.Corinne was suddenly pushed to the innermost corner of the elevator and through the rush, someone acci

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
