Francine glared hatefully at Corinne. Then she turned to Anya and said, "Let's go, Anya. We'll deal with this crazy woman later. It's more important for you to change into something clean right now. Follow me to my room."Anya nodded and followed Francine up the stairs. Midway through, she turned around to glare sinisterly at Corinne. Her message was clear, there would be h*ll for Corinne later.Corinne smiled back at her for two seconds before summoning the maids to come clean up the floor.…Bowen happened to see the tail end of what happened just now when he came out of the kitchen. He sighed helplessly, walked up to Corinne, and asked concernedly, "Ma'am, why don't I ask the kitchen to make you a sandwich? That should last you until lunch."Corinne was indeed hungry. She nodded and said, "Okay. It doesn't have to be anything complicated. Actually, an egg salad sandwich would do.""As you wish, Ma'am."Bowen was about to go to the kitchen when a servant came running in. "Mist

Lucas frowned when he saw the sandwich. "It's already so late in the morning and you haven't had your breakfast yet?"Being really hungry, Corinne picked up the sandwich and took a bite before saying, "Yeah. It's a long story. A lot of things happened that prevented me from having my breakfast in peace. You have no idea what I had to go through to be able to eat this sandwich right now. You probably had your breakfast already so forgive me for not offering you any."Lucas did not mind because he did not come here to eat. More importantly, he was worried for her. "You're pregnant, Corinne. A plate of sandwiches is hardly nutritious enough to grow a healthy baby. Not to mention you should have your breakfast earlier.""Like I said, something happened to prevent me from having breakfast earlier. Besides, it's going to be lunchtime soon," said Corinne nonchalantly.Lucas checked the time on his wristwatch. "It won't be lunchtime for another two more hours. Don't tell me you're going to

Fifteen minutes later, Lucas brought out a hot bowl of oatmeal and placed it gently in front of Corinne. "Here. Try some."Corinne looked at the oatmeal before picking up the spoon to stir it, revealing some dried nuts and berries within it. She looked at Lucas and asked, "Oatmeal with nuts and berries?"Lucas nodded. "Yeah. You need all the vitamins you can get now that you're carrying a baby inside of you. This used to be your favorite when you were…"Hearing this, Corinne suddenly felt a shockwave coursing through her body, causing her to knit her brows together and her eyes to waver as the realization dawned on her.Lucas found it hard to continue when he saw the frown on Corinne's face so he stopped speaking, worried that revealing what he knew then would affect her appetite. "Ahem. What I meant to say was, eat the oatmeal while it's still hot."Corinne regained her senses and said, "Thank you." She narrowed her eyes, scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal, blew on it before puttin

Seeing Corinne enjoying her food so much infuriated Francine. Thus, she decided to make her life difficult. "Lucas, I'm so glad you've come! Guess what happened just now? Corinne poured an entire bowl of piping hot ramen soup on Anya's head. Not only did that dirty Anya's clothes but her face got burned too! So I had no choice but to take Anya up to my room to wash up and change into a clean set of clothes."After Francine had finished speaking, Anya knew it was her cue to pretend to be forgiving. "Lucas, please don't be too harsh on Corinne. She didn't mean to and I'm fine…" she said tearfully.Lucas frowned and looked unhappily at Corinne. "Why did you order takeout when the kitchen had already prepared a lavish breakfast spread for you?"Anya and Francine were stunned by Lucas' question. Initially, they were waiting expectantly for Lucas to blow up at Corinne so the question really caught them off guard. In fact, they could not help but feel like Lucas had gotten the wrong point

Lucas' head started to throb with a painful headache. He could not believe how irresponsible Anya was being. He pinched the space between his brows and said, "I don't care what you're doing here. You're to go home this instant!"Anya could tell Lucas was being serious. She nodded docilely as she walked up to him. "Lucas, I know I shouldn't have left Joey alone and come here… I promise I'll spend some time with him once I'm home. Let us go back now, Lucas."Lucas remained seated where he was. "Edmund is outside. He'll give you a ride home."Anya was shocked and hurt at the same time. "Lucas, aren't you going to go home with me?""I still have some unfinished business here so you go home first."'What? So he didn't come to bring me home?' thought Anya with shock. She looked at where Lucas was sitting and discovered that opposite him was… Corinne! 'Did he come here to find Corinne?'The more she thought about it, the more the whole thing seemed off to her. "I don't mind waiting for

"You knew?" asked Lucas with shock."Yup," said Corinne nonchalantly."When did you know?" asked the confused Lucas."Not long after I met you."Her answer confused him even more. "Then why didn't you tell me?"Corinne curled her lips into a mocking smile. "Would you have believed me if I told you then? Haven't you always seen me as a wanton social climber? Think about it… What would you think if I suddenly tell you I'm actually the long-lost sister who you've been looking for all this time? You'll most likely see me as a devious woman who's willing to lie and cheat my way into your family, right?"Lucas' immediately tensed up because he knew he had behaved absolutely horribly toward Corinne in the past. "I admit I did hold some biases against you then and I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, Corinne. Can you please accept my apology?"Corinne put down her spoon and waved her hand. "No. Don't say sorry to me, Mister Lucas. This isn't like you. You should just let things stay a

Corinne looked at him cordially. "Do you still remember when I used to work in Rivera Group for a few days before you fired me?"At the mention of that, Lucas became filled with shame and he quickly said, "You can come back to work for Rivera Group if you want. I'll give you any position you want and you can start at any date of your choosing.""Oh, you're mistaken, Mister Lucas. What I meant to tell you is I hope you can pay me the salary you owed for those few days 'cause I don't like working for free," said Corinne with a smile.Lucas did a double take and looked at her with mixed feelings. 'So it's not about the money after all. She just wants to make it clear that we have nothing to do with each other. In other words, she doesn't want to accept me as her brother!'Corinne raised her eyebrow. "What's the matter? You don't want to give me the money?"Lucas snapped out of his shock. "No, that's not it. I'm willing to give you whatever amount you want."He then took out his wall

Lucas narrowed his eyes, walked up to the car, and got into it.Anya and Francine were sitting in the backseat talking about something but they immediately stopped when Lucas got into the car.Anya, who was now sandwiched between Lucas and Francine, turned to him and said, "Oh, Lucas, you're back!"Lucas was exhausted by then. He leaned back on the seat and rubbed the space between his brows. "Didn't I ask you to go home first?"Anya pouted sadly and tried to explain, "You'll be without a car if I go home first so I ask Edmund to wait for you…"To this, Lucas simply made a noncommittal sound before closing his eyes and falling silent.Francine, who could not contain her curiosity anymore, poked her head out to ask, "Lucas, how did the conversation with Corinne go? Did you manage to convince her to leave my brother?"Lucas frowned and opened his eyes to take a glance at her. "You sound like you really want her to leave your brother."Francine nodded. "Yeah! Don't you want that t

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
