Jeremy held Corinne's hand and led her slowly toward the door. Just as they stepped out of the kitchen, a cane swung through the air, clearly aimed at Corinne!Jeremy reacted quickly, intercepting the cane and shielding the girl behind him. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Cedric Rivera.Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows. "And what does Mister Cedric want to do?"Lucas, too, showed surprise. "Grandpa?"Ignoring them, Cedric stared fixedly at Corinne with a weathered, sharp gaze. He pulled his cane from Jeremy's grip and pointed it at Corinne. "Were you the one speaking just now?"Corinne was also startled with a hint of confusion on her face. Why did the Riveras react so dramatically one after another?She regained her composure and nodded. "Yes, I was the one speaking. Is something wrong?"Cedric trembled, his gaze intense and piercing. He scrutinized Corinne from head to toe with an enigmatic air. "Young girl, have we met somewhere before?"Facing the old man's question

Cedric looked at Corinne with eyes of admiration and awe. "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just want to see what my young savior looks like."Corinne smiled. "Oh, please don't call me that. I'm not a savior at all. I just happened to be passing by when you were in need of help. Anyone would have done the same thing.""Of course you are my savior. If it weren't for you that day, I would've been beaten up by that shameless woman and ended up in the hospital. H*ll, I might even have ended up dead."Corinne simply smiled since she did not know what to say.Cedric smiled happily. "Come and let's have a talk in the living room, child. Is there anything you would like to eat or drink? I'll make sure the kitchen only serves the finest for my savior!"Corinne was speechless. She disliked the Riveras from the bottom of her heart. Even though she was related to them by blood, she could not help but see them as her enemy since not one of them came to her mother's defense in the past, whi

Instead of turning his attention to Lucas, Cedric simply smiled and asked Corinne, "Corinne, how old are you?"Corinne took a sip of tea before answering, "I'll be twenty this year.""Twenty? Why, that's perfect!" Cedric nodded satisfactorily before his expression became solemn. "If I guess correctly, you're probably still single, right? Well, it's a good thing I know an excellent guy who's still single too. Do you want me to introduce him to you?"Corinne smiled and said, "I…""There's no need to be shy, child! It's best for a woman to get hitched as soon as possible 'cause otherwise all the good men will be taken and all that's left will be crooks and sc*ms!" added Cedric.Jeremy frowned when he heard this. He took a sip of tea before sneaking a peek at Corinne.The corner of Corinne's mouth started twitching. She never expected the reason Cedric asked her to stay was so he could set her up with a guy. Cedric seemed to be on a roll as he started selling the good points of the g

Corinne graciously held Jeremy's hand in hers. "Mister Cedric, this is my boyfriend. I'm pretty sure you know him already so I won't go into a long introduction."Cedric looked at the two of them in disbelief. "What? This old chap is your boyfriend? Didn't you call him Mister just now? I thought he's just a relative of yours."Jeremy was initially happy with Corinne's performance but his face turned cold again when Cedric referred to him as an "old chap".'My, Mister Cedric really doesn't hold back his thoughts, does he? Not to mention he seems to get overly emotional very fast,' thought Corinne as she looked helplessly on at Cedric's reaction. After that she smiled wryly and said, "I called him Mister because he's a bit older than me. We're not related in any way. He's really my boyfriend."Cedric kept shaking his head. "What a shame for a young girl like you to be dating an old and boring man like him."Lucas, who was initially in a bad mood, could not help but laugh when he he

"Oh come on, I've been alive longer than anyone here and have met countless people so don't you think it'll be easy for me to tell what a person is like with just one glance? Besides, who are you to judge her? Have you ever wondered why I never thought of setting you up with her? Well, it's because you're not worthy of her at all!"Lucas' eyebrow shot up. "How am I not worthy of her?"Instead of looking at Lucas in a grandfatherly manner, Cedric revealed a face riddled with disgust. "As your grandfather, I know how devious you are despite the gentlemanly image you try to portray! Even if I set you up with the best girl in town, you'll only come to treat her like she's a worthless piece of trash so it'll be a grave sin for me to set you up with Corinne.Unlike Eddy, who's a good kid even though he's a late bloomer and a little too obsessed with his music. Corinne will definitely end up happy if they're together. Such a shame though… How did a good girl like her end up with that son o

Corinne rolled her eyes and said, "As if!"Jeremy smiled neutrally. "You're really not regretting your decision? I mean, would you have agreed to meet up with Eddy if I wasn't there in the room?"Corinne mulled over his question while drinking her water. Blushing, she finally nodded and said, "Most probably."Jeremy's eyes darkened. "Huh! At least you're honest."Corinne met his gaze straight on with her clear and bright eyes. "I admit I do want to meet him but not because I want to marry him. The feelings I have toward him are simply those of a celebrity and fan… Besides, it wouldn't hurt to ask for his autograph."Jeremy frowned, threw back his head, and downed half of his bottle in one go. Corinne stared at his side profile and wondered if he was jealous. After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, "Didn't you have any celebrity you worshiped when you were little? Like… you don't want to get into bed with them but like them just because.""I had no childhood when I was lit

'This little rascal is definitely trying to make fun of me,' thought Jeremy while looking at Corinne's impish face. He narrowed his eyes and slowly got closer to her. "Well, haven't you already got my work of art on you?" he asked while lightly tickling her tummy. The warmth of his hand immediately seeped through her clothes and into her skin, causing her to blush.Corinne instinctively pushed his hand away. "Mister, behave yourself! We're in a car for Chris' sake."Jeremy finally smiled when he saw how embarrassed Corinne was. He kissed her lightly on the lips before looking deeply into her eyes and said, "I forbid you from caring about our age gap and running away with another young man in the future."Corinne was slightly surprised by his words but then she smirked and said, "Well, that depends on how happy you can make me. Otherwise, I can't promise I won't pull the plug on you when you're lying on your deathbed and run off with another man."Jeremy did a double-take. 'Why this

There were two special rooms upstairs in the Riveras' mansion. One was the room where Emily used to sleep in with Maxwell, and the other was the room where Luna used to sleep in. These two rooms had remained the same as they were 15 years ago and no one was allowed to step inside the two rooms without Lucas' permission.Lucas closed the door, pulled out the chair from under the dressing table, and sat down on it. The little chair was too small for a man who was over six feet tall. Still, it contained precious childhood memories in it.There was a ten-year age gap between him and Luna. When he was young, he spent more time with Luna than his parents did with her. Every night, he would be the one to read stories to lull her to sleep. It was such a peaceful family life back then.Later, Maxwell was caught having a secret family outside of the marriage, causing Emily to fall into deep anguish. The two of them fought more and more with each fight getting more and more violent. Every time

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
