By then, the firework show had ended and a strong gust was blowing. No one outside the balcony noticed Anya's arrival because of how loud the fireworks were, so they were surprised to see Corinne and Jason talking on the sofa with Jeremy nowhere in sight when they came in.Zeke sat down and asked, "Corinne, where's Jeremy?"Corinne pointed at the stairs with her chin. "He went up to the guest room."Annie sat beside Corinne and asked, "Why did Uncle Jeremy go up there? How could he leave you alone here?"Corinne did not answer and simply sipped her juice.Annie, being the easily distractible child she was, did not think too much of it. She quickly took out her phone to show Corinne the photos she took of the firework show. "Look, Corinne. Aren't they beautiful?"Corinne looked down and saw Annie's firework photos posted online had garnered a high number of likes. She smiled and gave her a nod of approval. "Yeah, they are.""Right? That's what I think, too!" said Annie happily. S

Zeke disagreed with Jason. "Don't tell me you don't find it weird, too? I mean, we all know Lucas thinks everyone is beneath him, so why would he put down his pride in front of Corinne? You know what I think? Lucas might be trying to avenge Anya by stealing Corinne away from Jeremy.""Wow…you should go be a scriptwriter," said Jason sarcastically."Ugh. Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. This is getting nowhere," growled Zeke.Annie had just finished replying to her friends' comments. She was ecstatic by all the praises thrown at her and wanted to find something else to show off, so she turned on her phone camera and pulled Corinne over."Say cheese, Corinne! I'm going to post a picture of us later so that everyone will know I just got myself a new aunt-in-law!"Corinne smiled helplessly toward the phone's front camera.After checking the photo, however, Annie seemed displeased. "Eww, the front camera is useless. Just look at how blurry the photo is. Let's try again

Just when Lucas was staring at the photo in a trance…"Hey Jason, were you guys taking pictures?" said Anya curiously from behind Jason. She came just in time to have caught a glimpse of the photos in Jason's phone.Jason turned and smiled at her. "Yeah. Do you want to take one with us, too?"Anya shook her head. "No, thanks. I didn't put any makeup on today, so I'll look ugly in the photos.""Nonsense. You're beautiful even without makeup on," said Jason in a gentlemanly manner.Annie rolled her eyes and poked her tongue out at Anya while muttering to herself, "Oh, please. I can't believe she has the cheek to say she doesn't have makeup on when her face is caked with it. What does she think we are? Blind?"Corinne sipped her juice with a bored expression, so used to Anya's theatrics.Anya heard what Annie said. She threw a dirty glance at both Annie and Corinne before realizing Lucas was there, too. "Oh hey, Lucas. You're here too?"Lucas' face darkened at Anya's sudden arriva

"Yes, Corinne?" said Anya as she turned.Corinne raised her eyebrow and said, "If he's thirsty, I'd highly suggest you bring him some water instead of a soft drink. Soft drinks aren't that thirst-quenching, and two, he doesn't like them."A hint of hatred flashed across Anya's eyes. "Is that so? But Jeremy specifically asked me to bring him some soft drinks. If I didn't know any better, Corinne, I would've thought you don't really know him that well at all.""Alright, then. Don't say I didn't warn you," said Corinne with a smirk after sipping her juice.Anya hated how Corinne always remained unfazed by her insults; it was like throwing punches at the air and did nothing to assuage the anger in her heart. Anya scoffed and left with the soft drink in her hand.Seeing this, Lucas glanced worriedly at Corinne before he got up and followed Anya upstairs.Jason immediately sat on the seat Lucas just vacated. He then picked up a plate of cut oranges and offered it to Corinne. "Here, Cor

Jeremy looked at Lucas with surprise. He never thought that Lucas would do something like that for him or Corinne."Are you sure?" Jeremy asked.Lucas walked over to the bed to check on Joey. "Yes, I'm sure. After all, this kid is my family's responsibility. In fact, we should be apologizing for causing you so much trouble."Jeremy narrowed his eyes in disbelief. 'Wasn't he the one who asked me to spend more time with Anya? Why the sudden change of heart?'"Lucas, what are you doing here? Umm…shouldn't you be down there drinking with your friends?" Anya asked with a frown.Lucas threw a glance at Anya and said meaningfully, "Jeremy should be the one doing that since he's the star of the night."Anya was speechless. She knew what Lucas was trying to tell her, but d*mn if she was going to let Jeremy go down to be with that b*tch!"Lucas, Joey really needs Jeremy right now. His temperature has finally just come down, and I'm afraid that it'll go up again if Jeremy's not here," said

"I know it was wrong of me for not taking good care of Joey…but please don't give him away. I promise I'll be a better mother to him from now on!" Anya pleaded tearfully.The sight of her was enough to give Lucas a headache. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Fine… Just look after him now while I go out to take a call."He then fished out his vibrating phone and turned to leave the room, but before he could even take a step, Joey shakily grabbed Lucas' hand. "Uncle…don't go…" he said weakly.Joey wanted to tell Lucas he was scared of being left alone with Anya, who would turn into a monster when no one was around, but he could not.Lucas had no idea what Joey was thinking, so he simply stroked his cheek and said coaxingly, "Be a good boy, Joey. I promise I'll be back in a jiffy, okay? And in the meantime, your mommy will stay here with you.""Uncle…don't go… I…scared," said Joey fearfully. He looked like he was about to cry.Lucas immediately became suspicious of Anya w

When Jeremy got downstairs, he saw Jason passing one dessert after another to Corinne. Seeing this, he frowned and stopped in his tracks."Come here," he ordered. His voice cut through the room, causing everyone to fall silent.Corinne was enjoying the dessert with gusto, and when she looked up, she saw Jeremy glaring at her. Still, that did not stop her from enjoying her dessert."Didn't you hear what I said? Come. Here. Now!" ordered Jeremy again when he saw she had no intention of doing so.Only then did Corinne get up and walk over to him with the dessert still in her hand. "Why are you being such a sour puss?"Jeremy pulled her to him tightly before confiscating the dessert in her hand. "Didn't I tell you not to eat too much dessert?"Corinne pouted. "You took so long to come down, and I got bored. It's not like I can drink with the others, so what else can I do but eat?"Her words cut deep into his psyche. He immediately felt his heart tightened because he knew he was wron

"Then who's going to drive you two home?"Jeremy turned around and called his niece, "Annie, come here.""Coming!" She walked over to them, and Jeremy threw his car keys at her."Pull the car over," he ordered.Annie only had some juice and some soft drinks that night. She did not dare to touch the wine, not when Jeremy watched her like a hawk.After she caught the car keys, she rolled her eyes. "You only think of me whenever you want someone to be your minion.""Cut the crap. It's howling outside, so pull the car to the lobby.""Fine…" She then went out to get the car.Annie knew Jeremy was worried about Corinne catching a cold. 'Well, I should be glad that a fool like my uncle has changed for the better after meeting his true love. I guess all that worrying about him dying alone was for nothing.'She pulled the car into the lobby and honked twice to let Jeremy know she had arrived.After bidding the rest of the guests goodbye, Jeremy steered Corinne to where the car was his

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
