'Ah, the classic charade of shifting the blame onto someone else!' Anya had always been the kind of person who gave excuses instead of admitting her guilt.Corinne was in no hurry either. She took the gynecology report from Lucas, showed it to Anya, and flicked the piece of paper twice."I'm curious, Anya. You said that this gynecology report isn't yours, so where is yours, then?"Anya was dumbfounded. She could not think of what to say for a moment, and her mind was working on overdrive to find an excuse.If she said that it was included in the inspection report, Corinne would take it from her and inspect it. If she said she lost it, then was it logical that she only lost one paper? She could not get away with such an excuse either.After much deliberation, she came up with the most inexplicable explanation. "Because I never did a gynecological examination at all, so there isn't a report in the first place!"Corinne cocked her eyebrow. "Is that so? Then why would you choose to s

After all, there was no point reading it when she knew the results better than anyone.She threw away the gynecology report without ever considering that each page of the report had a number!When she felt a touch on her left shoulder, she raised her head and saw Corinne's hand patting her.Corinne praised her with a smile. "You're very lucky that your fertility isn't affected even after you've drank such a large glass of saffron-infused pomegranate juice!"Anya was speechless. 'Corinne, you b*tch! You're only gloating because you think you won, but it's not over yet! I will turn this situation around! I won't lose to a b*tch like you!'She frantically thought of an idea and resorted to her usual response—crying.Instead of begging for tolerance and forgiveness, she lowered her head in self-blame and sobbed like a child who committed a severe mistake. Tears then began to fall to the floor."I… This is my mistake. I lied to everyone out of pure selfishness... I don't want everyon

"I now understand that it's all wishful thinking on my part. Regardless of how much I like you, I shouldn't try to make you sympathize with me by hiding that my illness has recovered."Now that my infertility is cured, you don't have to take any responsibility for me anymore. Starting today, I'll try my best to let go of you and sincerely wish you and Corinne a happy life ahead!"By pouring out her feelings and expressing her 'regret', Anya turned her infertility and the intricate web of lies she carefully weaved into her life for so many years into the brief moment of lunacy that she was that day. As a result, the nature of what she did became completely different, making it difficult for anyone to blame her for being such a lovesick girl.Jeremy's expression remained stern. Even though he never liked Anya and knew she had lied to him, he could not bring himself to treat her indifferently because she had saved his life before.After a brief silence, he said, "Whatever it is, I'm g

Corinne smiled harmlessly and asked, "By the way, Miss Anya, could you please tell me how you rescued Mister Jeremy all those years ago? He's old, and his memory isn't very good, so whenever I ask him about it, he says he forgot all the details. Could you tell me what happened?"Jeremy was speechless. 'Old? I might be older than you, but I'm not old enough to have dementia! How could she call me old in front of other people?'Anya's expression became a little shifty when Corinne asked that. "Well... It's been too long, and my memory is a little hazy on the details."Corinne frowned as if annoyed. "How is that possible? Didn't you just say you fell in love with Mister Jeremy at first sight that day? How could you forget the most memorable day of your life? Tell me whatever you remember!"After what happened earlier, Anya did not want to talk anymore because she learned her lesson not to talk too much.She pretended as if she had been forced to question and blinked uneasily. "Are yo
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 856
Anya was stumped by Corinne's question. No one ever asked her for the details of what happened that day, so she never felt the need to come up with an intricate lie. 'I might be exposed if I simply bluff my way through now…'"Corinne, you sound like you don't believe me. I've explained to you a thousand times that I don't remember the details since it happened so long ago. The same goes for Jeremy…"Corinne smiled. "Now now, there's no need to get so worked up over this, Miss Anya. I just couldn't help but think how dangerous it was for a small girl like you to be running around in the mountains like that. It was a good thing you didn't meet any bad guys. I shudder to think what would've happened then."Anya became upset. 'She's making it sound like I'm being petty.'However, on the surface, she smiled kindly to show that she was not angry."I wasn't worked up, Corinne. I really thought you didn't believe me. And besides, you didn't have to worry about child-me since my family has
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 857
Coming back to reality, Anya smiled awkwardly. "Oh, nothing. I was just trying very hard to recall what happened back then."Corinne smiled. "Oh, okay. Then did you happen to remember what color of clothing Jeremy was wearing?"The question stumped Anya. 'I might get exposed if I can't even answer a question as simple as this… Jeremy rarely wears bright colors, so the answer is either black or white… Umm… I'll just pick a color, then!'"Umm… He was wearing black…"Hearing this, Jeremy narrowed his eyes thoughtfully."Then, do you remember where the rattlesnake bit him?" asked Corinne.Anya's face tensed up again. She really had no idea where. "Umm… It was his arm.""Left or right arm?" Corinne hit her with another question.'How the hell should I know?' Anya pretended to look perplexed. "Corinne, the way you're asking me for all these little details makes it seem like I'm being interrogated here."Corinne smiled. "Well, can't blame a girl for being curious, can you? Don't tell

'That means she's been using the fake excuse of being my savior to keep me wrapped around her finger for the last ten years!' thought Jeremy.Jeremy's anger was so intense that everyone present in the room could feel it washing over them.Anya obviously felt the thickening tension in the air, so she instinctively turned to look at Jeremy. She was immediately greeted by his cold, cold eyes."Jeremy… Wha… What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?""Miss Anya, how many times did you bring me food then? And when did you bring them to me?" Jeremy asked in a cold, monotonous tone.Anya averted her gaze out of guilt. Frowning, she answered, "I… I don't really remember… I probably brought you the food in the morning and at night…"Jeremy looked down condescendingly at her. "Miss Anya, I'm only going to ask you once. Is it that you don't remember, or is it that you don't know at all?"Anya realized she had given the wrong answer. "I… I really don't remember. It's been ten y

Jeremy glared at Phoebe before scoffing. "Well, how else can we prove she was the girl who saved me back then?"Phoebe frowned. "How else? Isn't the bracelet enough? It's not like she can fake the bracelet. Anya, hurry and show Jeremy the bracelet now."Anya had lost her composure out of guilt so much so she would have forgotten about the existence of the bracelet if it was not for Phoebe's reminder. She quickly took out the bracelet from her pocket and showed it to Jeremy."Jeremy, look. Isn't this the bracelet you asked one of your men to give me back then?" she asked pitifully. "You can check to see if it's real…"Jeremy narrowed his eyes and frowned. He did not need to check; he could tell at a glance that the bracelet was real. However, he was still unconvinced by Phoebe's and Anya's explanations. 'It sounds more like she was making things up on the spot…'"Jeremy, I know you can tell the bracelet is real. And even if Anya's infertility is cured, you can't just doubt her like

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
