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

Anya was completely shocked because Lucas had never spoken so harshly to her before."But I really, really love him… You of all people should know that…"Lucas knitted his brows together. "It takes two to make a relationship work. Yours is a one-sided love. If the other party doesn't love you, then it doesn't matter what you do, he still won't love you. Why don't you let him go, Anya? Time will heal all wounds and you'll definitely come out better for it."Anya's eyes immediately reddened as tears spilled out of her eyes. "Lucas, what's the matter with you? Did Corinne say something to you? Why does it feel like you have completely become another person? Don't you love me anymore?"No matter how annoyed Lucas was with Anya, there was one thing he could not stand to see and that was her crying. She was still his baby sister after all. 'Maybe I was a little too harsh on her…' he thought.Lucas patted Anya on the shoulder in a bid to comfort her, "Come now, don't cry. I only want wha

At that moment, Lucas wished he could travel back in time to give the old him a slap or two for mistaking Corinne.…Meanwhile, back in the Holdens' mansion.Corinne fished out her phone, which had been vibrating the whole time, from her pocket as soon as Lucas left the house. It was a video call from Jeremy. She had put her phone on silent during the conversation she had with Lucas and now that he had left, she could finally answer the video call.Jeremy's perfect and handsome face appeared on her phone screen as soon as she tapped on the 'Answer' button. "What were you doing just now? Why did it take you this long to answer my call?" he said angrily and coldly.Corinne sat down languidly on the sofa. "I was eating just now.""Eating? With who?" Jeremy asked with a frown.'Someone from this house must have snitched on me!' thought Corinne. She pouted and said a little unhappily, "Don't you already know the answer to that?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes; he decided to drop the prete

"I'll send you the restaurant location later. All you need to do now is to work hard at your job," replied Corinne and before Jeremy could say anything, she had already hung up the phone.The reason Corinne ended the call so quickly was because Francine had just come back from outside and was standing in front of her and glaring at her vehemently. Corinne did not want to worry Jeremy with what was going on at home so she was left with no choice but to hang up the phone.Corinne was unfazed by the way Francine was glaring at her. She curled her lips into a nonchalant smile and asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you're going to Anya's place to hang out?"Francine crossed her arms haughtily before sitting down on the sofa. "What I do is none of your business!"Corinne let out a lazy yawn and said, "You're right. It is none of my business but I should warn you, stay away from Anya. She's a bad influence on you."Francine really liked Anya from the bottom of her heart since the t

Corinne then continued, "It's different for you, though. If you want to get married in the future, you'd want a well-matched and wealthy family, yes? Don't you think you'll only embarrass yourself if you were sent back by your in-laws because you're not diligent enough and can't even do basic chores? I'm specifically creating a learning opportunity for you, and I believe you'll be able to do it by starting with your chores.""You..." Francine gritted her teeth, evidently irked. "You're a sly woman, Corinne! I'm not going to do these dirty house chores regardless of what you say today! Hmph!"Corinne remained calm as she said, "If you don't want to do it, that's fine too. This household doesn't need a second idler in this household aside from me, so I'll tell your brother to send you to live with your mom once he comes back later tonight."She came to know about Francine's weakness earlier that morning when Jeremy reprimanded Francine, and it turned out that Francine drew the line at

Aaron shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just curious to know how you took him down."Corinne was speechless.Xante came over with a cup of coffee and kicked Aaron. "Buzz off! Can't you see that she's going over some work-related documents? Why are you bringing up such pointless things?"Aaron patted the side of his trousers that had been kicked, seemingly disgusted by the dirt on the soles of Xante's high heels.Xante placed the coffee cup on the desk and pushed it to Corinne's hand. "Did you really reconcile with Mister Jeremy last night?"Corinne kept quiet.Aaron rolled his eyes. "Tch! You've got some nerve to ask that question after you kicked me for doing the same thing! Aren't you just as curious as I am?"Corinne did not entertain their gossip and turned to the last page of the financial statement in her hand. "Not bad! The financial report for the second half of the year has improved a lot compared to the first half of the year. You've both worked very hard. We still need to

Xante glanced at Aaron coldly and said, "She's scolding you! Don't put me in the same category as you!"Corinne ignored them and looked at the time. She had another hour to go before the work day ended, and she could probably reach Holden Group just in time for Jeremy to clock off if she took a taxi right then.She put down her coffee, got up from the office chair, and said, "Go back to your respective duties. I'll be leaving."Aaron said reluctantly, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to have dinner with us?""I'm heading to Holden Group to pick Jeremy up from work." Corinne waved her hand without looking back and pushed open the door of the president's office.Aaron looked at the door that had been closed shut and shook his head in amazement. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. She's so madly in love with him that it's nauseating!"Xante snapped back to her senses and looked at him in disgust. "Go back to your office and stay jealous here!"Corinne went to a cafe directly opposite the Holden

"Out with it, Annie. Why were you following me?" Corinne asked curtly despite having a good guess of what it was about.Annie pouted. "I... I just wanted to find out where you went, and why you went there alone."Corinne folded her arms slowly. "Why are you so interested in my itinerary? Answer me honestly."Annie felt ashamed because she knew stalking was wrong, but once she remembered that she did all that because of her mission, she puffed her chest and raised her head to ask, "Because… Because I saw you exiting the office of Newmoon Group's president. What's your relationship?"Corinne kept her composure and answered, "We're childhood friends. Is something wrong with that?"Annie was taken aback, in shock and awe. "Childhood friends? How are you childhood friends with Newmoon Group's president? Didn't you grow up in the countryside when you were younger?"Corinne looked at her insipidly. "Are you suggesting that people from the countryside can never succeed in starting a comp

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
