Anya had calmed down by then, so she went to her mother's aid."Lucas, you shouldn't suspect Mom like this! Everyone knows saffron is good for beauty. And it's not like she has a medical background. She only wanted to share the good stuff with Corinne. In any case, it's just a matter of good intention, bad execution."'Good intention? Her good intention nearly killed the baby in Corinne's womb and caused Sunny to suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding!' thought Lucas. He could not help but feel a sense of revulsion when he looked at Anya.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The doctor who had given them the test result had come back. "By the way, I forgot to return something to Miss Anya."He walked over to Anya and took out the bank card from his white coat."I'm sorry, Miss Anya," he said solemnly, "but we have rules in the hospital saying we're not allowed to accept bribe money or tamper with test results. I accepted your bank card just now because I was afraid you wouldn't s

Anya felt like her world had crumbled when Lucas pushed her away, and she started sobbing out loud. Since she could not argue her way out of this, she had no choice but to resort to using tears, hoping this would bring Lucas to her side."Lucas… hic… Why don't you love me anymore? You…promised you'll always protect me no…matter what."Lucas refused to speak or look at her. He did not want to be reminded of just how blind he was to all of Anya's scheming ways over the years."Cool down, Mister Lucas," said Corinne as she passed him a bottle of mineral water.Lucas was slightly shocked and relieved to see Corinne caring about him. However, the happiness did not last long because it was replaced by heavy guilt a second later. He finally saw Anya's true colors, and he could not help but think of all the times he blamed Corinne for hurting Anya.In all the times the two girls had a misunderstanding, he would always take Anya's side no matter what. Oh, how he would shame and scold Corin
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 840
As things progressed to that point, Anya had no choice but to sacrifice her mother to save herself. After all, it was better for one than for both of them to lose the trust of the family.Even though she had no idea what Corinne was thinking, she had no qualms about the version of the story Corinne gave. It was more important for her to uphold her innocent girl image so she could live to see another day.Corinne gently tucked Anya's hair before her ear. "Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, you were kind enough to save Jeremy. Not only that, but you nearly lost your life and became infertile after that… A brave and kind-hearted girl like you would never do something like poisoning me, right?"Anya could not help but start to feel uneasy at all the praise Corinne was heaping on her, so much so a chill ran up her spine. 'Why would Corinne speak up for me? She's definitely up to no good.'Corinne frowned and said worriedly, "I suddenly remember something, Miss Anya. Is your body

Anya looked visibly unwell and she was seeing stars, but she still shook her head and refused. "No thanks! I'm fine! I don't need to have a check-up..."Corinne dragged her to follow the doctor. "Look at you, Miss Anya! Must you insist that you're fine when your complexion is that bad? You're going to make others worry about you! It's just a check-up, not an operation. What are you so afraid of?""I'm not afraid! I swear I'm fine! I don't need to go..." Anya was unable to express her worries, but she knew Corinne had an ulterior motive for making that suggestion. She was worried that she would walk into a trap if she went.Lucas then said in a booming voice, "You've been told to go, so just do it! There's nothing wrong with getting a checkup."Anya continued to struggle. "I'm fine. I'm not feeling sick at all..."Lucas frowned. "Then we can always check to see if there are any potential issues. I don't want you crying that you're unwell when we get home!"He was beginning to lose

"Maxwell..." Phoebe's eyes reddened as tears streamed down her face.Maxwell did not pity her and ignored her despite her crying. He went to the hospital bed, pulled a chair to sit, and looked quietly looking at his still-unconscious son.After watching Anya leave the ward, Corinne turned around to look at the tearful Phoebe.Phoebe and Anya were like two peas in a pod. She could cry at the drop of a hat, much like her daughter. Alas, Phoebe's song and dance did not seem to strike a chord with Maxwell.Although Phoebe was a middle-aged woman, she maintained a youthful figure and wrinkle-free face thanks to the Riveras's money. Sadly, her pitiful act was unable to capture Maxwell's attention.Maxwell appeared to be extremely cold toward Phoebe. As if sleeping in a separate bed was not bad enough, he did not even bother to take a second look at her.Corinne's impression of her biological father did not improve just because he was indifferent toward Phoebe, of course. Instead, she n

After leaving the ward, Corinne and Jeremy walked to the end of the corridor. They glanced out of the window at the small garden for patients to have a stroll and exercise.Corinne was bored, so she turned around and wrapped her arms lazily around his waist. She buried her face in his chest and rubbed her face shamelessly.It was not often that she would throw herself into his arms. Jeremy allowed her to do as she pleased, but he was also keenly aware that she was not her usual self."Are you in a bad mood?"Corinne turned her face so it was facing the man's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. "Men are all buttfaces, aren't they?""What?" Jeremy frowned. There was a difference of nearly 10 years in their age gap, so there might be occasions where he did not fully understand the slang used by young people such as her. Nevertheless, he could tell that the word 'buttface' was a derogatory term.Corinne's gaze was vapid, and she had a sarcastic smile as she explained, "Just l

Jeremy was speechless at Corinne's sensitive logic.After what she said, he would seem guilty if he did not agree to sign such an agreement.He could not help what she thought, though. Due to her rough experience in life, she had little sense of security even in a marriage, so it was understandable for her to request such an agreement.If that could make her feel more at ease, then he was fine with signing it according to her wishes. After all, separating from her was out of the question.…Back inside the ward, Sunny finally woke up after a long period of unconsciousness.Maxwell's frown eased a little when he saw his son wake up. "How do you feel, Sunny?"Lucas was sitting in pensive silence on the sofa not far away, but he snapped back to his senses after hearing Maxwell's question and got up to approach the hospital bed.Sunny opened his eyes, but his complexion was still quite pale, and he had a dazed expression. He felt uncomfortable all over, and he had no idea what happ

Sunny felt aggrieved when he saw his mother in such a state. "Don't cry, Mom! People are going to think that I'm dead if you cry like that!""Don't curse yourself like that!" Phoebe wiped away her tears. "I'll stop crying now. I'm just relieved that you're alright!"Phoebe was genuinely afraid, but it was a good thing that nothing happened to Sunny. If things had gone south, she would have lost all hope for the rest of her life!All of a sudden, the door to the ward was pushed open as someone walked in.Everyone turned toward the door when they heard the sound.Anya had returned from the check-up. Her face was pale, and her expression was a little dazed.As soon as she saw that Sunny had regained consciousness, Anya's pupils contracted and she walked over to him. "Sunny! You're awake!"Sunny nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine, Anya! What about you? Why do you look so unwell?"Phoebe remembered that her daughter had also drunk the saffron-laced pomegranate juice. Although Anya might have v

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
