"Corinne, what... What are you doing again? My Joey has died! What else do you want to do to him? Don't come any closer!"Corinne wasted no time with Anya's words and instantly pried her hand that tightly held the child. "Don't get in the way. I want to see if your son can still be saved!"Anya stared at Corinne, shocked, then became more guarded against Corinne's actions as she shouted, "What? You want to see if Joey can still be saved?! Corinne, how can you act so well!? It was you who killed my Joey, and now that my brother has reported to the police, you come here pretending to save him? Don't you think that's too pretentious?"Is it because the police are coming soon, and you want to destroy the evidence in advance?"Brother! She's trying to harm Joey's body. Quickly, help me drive her away!""Corinne, stop right there!" Lucas' expression turned ruthless as he quickly approached to protect his sister, but Jeremy's raised arm stopped him halfway.Blocked on his path, Lucas st

Corinne walked over to Anya's side, intending to take the child from her arms and lay him flat on the ground.However, Anya held onto Joey tightly, pretending to be pitiful in Lucas' embrace. "Don't touch my child! Corinne, I beg you, please stop hurting my child!"Corinne had no interest in watching her perform this pitiful act. Without even raising an eyebrow, she calmly said, "I should still be able to save this child's life. If you truly love your child, it's best to listen to me and lay his body flat."It was easy to imagine that Anya would not cooperate. She simply did not believe that Corinne could save the child, and even if she did believe, she did not want this child to survive.Seeing that Anya still refused to cooperate, Corinne no longer expected this hypocritical woman to have a change of heart. She thus reached out to snatch the child herself.The child was very weak, and being tightly held by Anya like that would surely lead to his final breath being snuffed out!

Although Lucas agreed to let Corinne try to revive Joey, he did not let his guard down. He stood aside and observed, instructing the servants around him to record the entire process on their phones.When the police arrived later, the video would be handed over to them to prevent Corinne from making any moves for the sake of exoneration and then denying them later....The child had been laid flat, and Corinne squatted on the ground, reaching out to open Joey's eyelids and check. Then, she carefully performed some basic life-saving measures for him.Anya leaned weakly against her brother's arms, sobbing as she stared at Corinne worriedly.Honestly, she could not care less about Joey; it was all an act for Lucas and Jeremy to see.However, only her brother cared for her. He comforted her softly, holding her tightly. Jeremy, on the other hand, had not glanced her way once!Anya sneakily glanced at that man who was beyond her reach.Jeremy stood on Corinne's side, standing tall and

Everyone's expectant gazes gradually dulled with disappointment, mixed with a hint of frustration as if they had been played with. The servants of the Riveras started to snap in frustration."There's no movement at all. How can there be any sign of coming back to life?""Don't trust her! She's just playing tricks!""The boy no longer breathes. How could he come back to life just by swallowing some mysterious pill? If that was possible, hospitals would've closed down long ago!""That's right! She exaggerated to give herself a chance. That woman is clearly toying with us!"Lucas' expression darkened, as the situation unfolded as expected. He squinted at Corinne, waiting to see if she would feel ashamed.Anya saw the result she had hoped for and secretly chuckled. Then, she cried with sorrow. "Corinne, have you had enough? My Joey has already passed, yet you continue to torment his body! Just hurt me if you're so bitter, but don't torment my child anymore!"Corinne remained silent,

Joey opened his eyes, but having just survived a near-death experience, he looked sickly pale, and he appeared weak even as he regained consciousness.After the shock, those from the Rivera immediately surrounded the child, showing their concern.Corinne felt herself relaxing as she watched Joey regain consciousness. She stood up and moved back, leaning against Jeremy as she sighed in relief.Jeremy, on the other hand, said nothing as he gently caught her as she leaned into his embrace, smoothing her hair.Amid her shock, Anya continued to play her role. She squatted beside the child, wiped away her tears, and said, "Oh my god, Joey… You're awake! I thought you were gone, my boy… You don't know how scared I was!"At first, Joey had a confused expression, staring blankly at his surroundings, not understanding what had happened. However, when Anya approached to hold him, he immediately showed a terrified expression as if he had seen something dreadful, and he immediately burst into

...The ambulance and police cars arrived at the Riveras' simultaneously. The medical staff were the first to rush in, examining the child's injuries and inquiring about the measures taken by the family. They praised the family for their effective rescue, stating that otherwise, the child might not have been saved!When the doctors praised them, Lucas glanced at Corinne with a complex expression in his eyes.Because the child had lost a significant amount of blood, the wound on the back of his head needed to be stitched up. The medical personnel lifted Joey onto a stretcher and took him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.Lucas instructed Edmund to accompany the child while he stayed to coordinate with the police. Anya did not go with the ambulance to accompany Joey because whenever she approached the child, he would cry out in fear. The medical staff had to persuade her to step out of the vehicle and not to further upset the child.She could only get out of the

Lucas was at a loss for words. He could not make sense of the logic behind all this, but to him, many of Corinne's previous actions lacked logic as well. For example, her sudden appearance at the Riveras' job interview, or her presence at his grandfather's birthday banquet without any reason. Moreover, both Anya and the maid witnessed Corinne's actions firsthand. Could it be fake?"I know why Corinne made such an effort to save Joey, Lucas," interjected Anya.As everyone turned to look, they saw Anya, with red eyes, walking in from outside.She planned to accompany Joey to the hospital with the medical staff, but because the child had an extreme reaction as soon as he saw her, the medical staff advised her to stay behind, and she had to come back.Lucas frowned when he saw her returning alone and asked, "Why didn't you go to the hospital? Where's Joey?"Anya walked to her brother's side, wiped away her tears, and said, "Edmund is with Joey at the hospital, so I feel relieved. We c

A few officers recognized the prominent figure of the Holden family and became uneasy. "Well... Mister Jeremy, please don't make our job difficult. We're just following the procedures..."The man snorted, his ink-black eyebrows dangerously raised. "Following procedures? Just based on the one-sided words of the Riveras, you want to take my wife as a murder suspect? Is there an arrest warrant?"What? This girl named Corinne was actually Mister Jeremy's wife?!The officers were officially stumped.When they saw this girl standing beside Mister Jeremy, they thought she was just a new lover he happened to bring along. They never expected her to be his legitimate wife!They could not afford to offend her. Should Miss Corinne truly be innocent, not only would their fate be at stake, but even their department could not bear the consequences!Lucas could sense that the police were wary of the Holdens. His brow furrowed as he stepped forward, saying, "Jeremy, the police only want to take C

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
