Francine sneaked a peek at Corinne, who was yawning lazily on the bed. No way could she put down her pride and apologize to that country hick. "Jeremy, I…""It's either you apologize to her or you pack up your things," said Jeremy coldly.In the end, Francine's fear of her brother overpowered her unwillingness to apologize to Corinne. She immediately conceded defeat and bowed her head toward Corinne. "Sorry, Corinne. I shouldn't have said all the things to you and I promise to not make the same mistake again. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me… and ask Jeremy not to send me away."Corinne looked sideways at her and waved her away. "Give me back the phone. You're dismissed."'I'm dismissed?! Who does she think she's talking to? The maids?' Francine nearly blew up at Corinne's impudence but alas, she could not since Jeremy was still watching her every move from the phone.Not daring to go against Corinne's wishes anymore, she docilely passed the phone to her before l

Francine frowned unhappily and said, "All you care about is Corinne this and Corinne that. Why don't you ever ask if I'm okay?"Bowen was shocked into silence by her sudden outburst.Francine's recent humiliation caused her to lash out at Bowen and the servants. "Huh! You would do well to remember you work for the Holden and not the Carew! What an ungrateful bunch of jerks you all are… siding with an outsider instead of me."Bowen thought it was wrong for her to say that but still he kept quiet. 'It's not like I'm purposely siding with Ma'am…. Miss Francine shouldn't have barged into her room like that in the first place.' The other servants thought the same way as Bowen — that Miss Francine had really gone overboard this time.Francine went back to her room in a huff and the more she thought about what happened, the angrier she became so she decided to call Anya to vent her anger. Her call quickly went through and Anya's usual gentle voice could be heard from the other side of the

After Anya went out, the nanny kept patting Joey on the back to calm him down. "There, there, little guy. There's no need to be scared anymore 'cause your mommy has left the room already."It was only then Joey dared to turn around and his crying gradually subsided once he had confirmed Anya was, indeed, not in the room. Seeing this, the nanny sighed. It was quite obvious to her that Anya did not love Joey at all since she would only pretend to care about him when there were other people in the room with them and when there were not… she would show her true colors.'Poor Joey… Not only did he lose his parents at such an early age, but when everyone thought he was set for life on account of being adopted into a wealthy family, his mother only sees him as a means to achieve her goal. Sigh… It wouldn't surprise me if his life only gets harder from now on,' thought the nanny.…Meanwhile, back at the Holden's estate.Corinne was woken up from her sleep by the sound of a ringing phone.

Bowen followed her to the dining room. Once there, he took a step before her and said, "Ma'am, here's your bre… Huh?"What he saw shocked him for there were two women eating the breakfast specially prepared by the nutritionist for Corinne."Miss Francine, didn't you already have your breakfast? Why are you eating Ma'am's breakfast?" Bowen asked with a frown.Francine continued eating while she said, "Oh, I didn't know this was her breakfast. The food has been sitting out here without anyone touching them so I thought the kitchen made it for my friend who has so graciously come to visit me. Plus, it would be a shame if the food went cold before anyone got to enjoy them.She then piled on some bacon on Anya's plate. "Here, Anya. It's so rare for you to drop by our house so make sure you eat more, 'kay?" While doing that, she secretly threw a provocative glance at Corinne.As for Anya, she ate one bite after another as though showing off to Corinne who Francine's favorite person was.

While Francine was spouting all that nonsense, Corinne had already sat down in the living room. She shut out Francine's voice and started ordering for takeout with her phone.Francine was incensed that her words had no effect on Corinne so she raised her voice even more and said, "Say, why is it taking her so long to order takeout? Could it be that she's so poor that she has no choice but to choose the cheapest takeout?"Anya could not hold back her laughter anymore but she quickly composed herself and said fakely, "Francine, don't be so rude. We should respect other people's lives, no matter how they choose to live."Francine rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I'm just saying it like it is. A country bumpkin like her can never compare to us socialites. Even if she manages to seduce my brother using her beauty, she'll never have the same worldview or values as us so my bet is their relationship will never last long. It's time for her to wake up and get out of this house!"Corinne did no

Jeremy simply ordered Anya to put her clothes back on and left the room. Anya knew Jeremy was not the type of guy to sleep around since she had witnessed the length he would go to to uphold his own principles. However, she could not understand why Jeremy was willing to let go of his principles for someone like Corinne.Suddenly, Corinne received a call from an unknown number. She thought the delivery person had arrived so she answered the call without reservation. "Hello?"However, no sound came from the other side of the phone for a good long while."Hello? Who is this? Can you hear me?" Corinne asked with a frown."Yes… I can hear you…" The cold and awkward voice was that of a man's and Corinne immediately recognized it to belong to Lucas.Corinne was a little surprised that Lucas would actually call her using his own private number. She glanced at the scheming Anya beside her, wondering if Lucas was calling her for his sister's sake again.She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why

Once Anya saw Corinne hanging up the phone, she beamed her signature 'I'm so kind' smile at her again. "Corinne, you sure are one busy woman. Was that a guy who called?"Corinne put away her phone, grabbed a cushion from the sofa, and hugged it to herself. "Yeah, it was indeed a guy," she said languidly.A hint of ridicule flashed across Anya's doe-like innocent eyes. "Does Jeremy know that you're still in contact with other guys?"Corinne yawned and said, "Most probably not.""He doesn't? That's not good. Rumors will spread like wildfire if words get out about you inviting a man over while Jeremy's is outside working."Corinne turned to look at Anya with her brow raised. "Miss Anya, are you threatening me right now?""Of course not. Why would I ever threaten you? I'm just being nice enough to warn you of the consequences," said Anya sweetly.Corinne smirked. "Fine. It doesn't matter whether you're threatening me or warning 'cause I don't care if you tell everyone you know that

"Take this glass of milk, Corinne. You can drink it to make the food go down easier." As Anya said this, she pretended to lose her footing. With a sway of her body, the milk in the glass spilled onto Corinne's takeout.'Oh no! My ramen… I didn't even get a bite before the milk got in…' thought Corinne.Anya covered her mouth in mock surprise. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, Corinne. I didn't mean to spoil your food…"Corinne simply stared at the ramen soup which had turned white from the milk.Francine burst out in a vindictive laughter when she saw how disappointed Corinne looked. Of course, she did not forget to show concern to Anya either. "You don't need to apologize to her, Anya. In fact, you should worry more about yourself. I hope you didn't knock into furniture just then…"Anya shook her head and said anxiously, "I'm fine, Francine… But I feel so bad for spoiling Corinne's food…""Oh, please. It's just a little milk. It's not like she's very particular about her food anyway. I mean

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
