Even if that was the room Corinne used to live in when she was young, it would have been changed after Lucas ordered a complete refurbishment.Anya was not pleased whenever Corinne did not respond, and after thinking about it further, she laughed and pretended to be kind to her. "By the way, Corinne, I can always give you some of my out-of-season clothes so you don't have to spend any money!"In response, Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked silently at Anya so Anya could interpret it on her own.Anya felt a chill down her spine and said sheepishly, "But that was when you were young, right? You've all grown up now, and I forgot that you're now Jeremy's wife. With his support, you'll never be short of money to buy all these things!"She then Corinne from head to toe and remarked, "But why do your clothes look so cheap? Didn't Jeremy give you any money to buy clothes?"Corinne did not sense any familiarity in the cloakroom, so she turned around and faced Anya. "How is he going to g

Maxwell and Phoebe's room piqued her interest, and she was curious to know what sort of room her despicable father and 'best friend' to her mother stayed in."Here's my parents' room! My father loves reading about history, so every piece of furniture in the room is a genuine antique. They're more expensive than the antiques we see in museums!"Corinne eyed the room and saw that it had a very tranquil and elegant atmosphere. Every piece of furniture was an antique made of high-quality timber.Anya did not brag too much, but it was clear from her words that she was showing off.She was not very interested in the antique furniture, and what attracted her attention was the large built-in bookshelf on the west wall of the room. The huge bookshelf was filled with books.'Who reads these? Is it Maxwell or Phoebe?'Corinne asked Anya politely, "May I go over there and read those books?"Anya rejoiced as something finally made Corinne envious. She said to Corinne magnanimously, "Sure! Bu

When Corinne saw that Anya was about to look over her shoulder, she quickly took the photo out of the book and hid it in her sleeve.Anya did not see the photo, only the squiggly text on the book's pages. She frowned and asked, "Do you understand this text?"Corinne closed the book and put it back in its place. "I don't. I was just browsing through it! Let's continue with the rest of your house tour!"Anya was about to respond but was immediately interrupted by a sound.Corinne's action of putting the book back in its original slot seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and the large built-in bookshelf moved to reveal a hidden door integrated within the bookshelf itself. The door automatically opened in the middle of the bookshelf!The sudden movement left Corinne stunned. "What's this?"Anya frowned and said with an unnatural expression, "It's nothing! This is my father's study. When it was renovated, the designer felt that this door design was more seamless and beautiful! My

Corinne followed Anya to a large, bright room decorated lavishly in a unique style. Everything inside the room looked expensive but not ostentatious. Out of all the rooms Corinne toured, she felt the most comfortable in this room. Without needing Anya to tell her, she had a good idea who the room belonged to.Still, she asked with a raise of her head, "Whose room is this?"Anya kept her smile in place while her eyes filled with contempt. "This room used to belong to a wanton woman in the family. It's been empty ever since she left since everyone thinks it'll bring them bad luck if they set foot in this room."Anya's answer assured Corinne of her guess. It was not hard to guess the room used to belong to her mother since it was decorated in her artistic style.Corinne narrowed her eyes at Anya. "This room has the best natural lighting out of the rooms you showed me. Yes, even better than your parents. I'm guessing only someone very important in your family could've lived in a room l

"Corinne, are you alright?"Anya suddenly swatted the music box from Corinne's hand, and it fell to the floor with a thud. The two little bears broke into pieces, and the music ceased swiftly.Corinne snapped out of her trance and looked at the broken music box sadly. She then bent down to pick up the pieces."God, why am I so clumsy? What a pity that the music box broke…" muttered Anya in an act-cute manner.Corinne ignored her. She turned the music box in her hand to try to make it play again, but alas, it was irrevocably broken."Be careful, Corinne. You wouldn't want to cut your hand on those broken glasses now, do you? Wait here. I'll go ask the servant to clean it up," said Anya. She then strode out of the room.Corinne continued to ignore her. She kept staring at the broken music box in her hands. 'I remember this song…and this room, too…'…Anya looked at her watch again after walking out of the room. Then, she smirked smugly before going downstairs.Lucas walked in th

Anya's scream pulled Lucas out of his thoughts. He immediately looked around and saw the door to Luna's childhood room, which was off-limits to everyone, was open. From outside the door, they could see Corinne squatting on the floor, holding the music box in her hands dazedly as though thinking of something.She slowly turned to look at Lucas and Anya when she heard Anya talking to her.Immediately after, Anya screamed again, "My goodness, Corinne! Why did you break my sister's music box? That was her favorite!"Corinne was unsurprised by Anya's false accusation at all. She simply stood up and calmly said, "I wasn't the one who broke it."Anya pretended to look shocked. She then snatched the broken music box from Corinne's hand to take a closer look, even though she was the one who broke it in the first place. "Oh no… It's really broken. What should we do?"After saying that, she turned to Lucas and said woefully, "I'm so sorry, Lucas. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gone d

Lucas' eyes darkened. In them, Anya could see irrevocable sternness and authority. Although she had been spoiled by Lucas since she was little, she still feared him when he was serious like this."Well…just be nice to Corinne, then. Don't get angry at her because she entered Luna's room by mistake and broke her favorite music box. I'll go see Joey now…" said Anya.Even while she had no choice but to leave, she wanted him to remember what took place. Alas, she did not get the result she wanted.…Corinne did not plan to stay a second longer in the room. "Mister Lucas, I'm sorry for coming in here. I'll show myself out, but you should know that I didn't break the music box."She then walked out of the room, but Lucas stopped her by grabbing her arm. "This room is off-limits to everyone, and no one can enter without my permission."Corinne frowned. "So? Why don't you just come out straight with how you're going to punish me for coming in here without your permission?"Lucas closed

Corinne raised her eyebrow and smirked at Lucas. "What makes you think I care about how you treated me before?"Lucas fell silent. He hated himself so much for how badly he treated Corinne, and it would make sense if Corinne would not want to accept him as her brother. As much as he knew Corinne wanted to do with him or the entire Rivera family, he wished for nothing more than for her to come back home so he could make amends.Lucas sighed and asked gently, "Corinne, what can I do to make you forgive me and to make you come home?"Corinne was unmoved by his rare display of submission, even though it was so different from his usual arrogant attitude."Mister Lucas, I've said that I don't blame you for all the misunderstandings or how you treated me. To me, you were just a stranger who happened to share the same blood with me, and now, we're just acquaintances at the most. And as strangers, I find it normal that you'd be suspicious or even hate me, so there's no need to lower your pr

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
