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

"Mister, did I get everything right?" Corinne turned to look at Jeremy with a raised brow.Jeremy fixed his eyes on her. "How do you know all this?"Corinne smiled and lifted his chin cheekily. "Because I was the girl who saved you back then!"Jeremy's eyes widened in shock. He grabbed her wrist and asked, "It was you?"Corinne nodded. "Yup. You were gone when I brought you a roll of bun on the last day. I thought you had been taken off by the wolves, so I buried a few more buns on the spot to commemorate you."Jeremy was speechless. He frowned and looked at her in disbelief. 'It was her all along! No wonder I've never gotten the sense of honesty from Anya…'Corinne tilted her head. "What's the matter, Mister? You don't seem happy at the news."Jeremy snapped out of his shock. He felt immensely happy at the wonderful fate he shared with Corinne. He kissed her hand and asked seductively, "Have you known about this for a long time? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"Corinne pouted.

Corinne slowly walked from Jeremy's arms and stood in front of Anya. Crossing her arms nonchalantly, she said, "You're right. I don't have physical evidence like the bracelet, but I have the same memory as Jeremy."Anya refused to give up. "It's normal to miss a few details when the incident happened so long ago! I was the one who saved Jeremy, not you! I might not have remembered the details, but I'm pretty sure you got lucky with the guesses."I remember everything now. I only brought Jeremy a roll of bun every day because I didn't want my family to find out I'd been sneaking out. And from what I know, you didn't even live in the town near the mountain at the time Jeremy was hurt. There's no way a little girl like you back then could've gone somewhere so far away from home, so this just proves that you're lying."Corinne smiled. "Miss Anya, you're a stubborn one, aren't you? Well, let me tell you everything that happened back then. I was brought up in a covenant, and Mother Cathri

Seeing that her tears were not working, Anya glared at Corinne. "No… No! You're the one who's lying! This is all a setup! This is all part of your evil plan to hurt me! I'm going to make you pay!"Anya finally showed her true colors; she no longer had to pretend since everything was out in the open. She rushed toward Corinne with her hand stretched out, wanting nothing more than to strangle her.However, Jeremy grabbed her wrist before she could even get close to her. "What do you think you're doing?!" he asked threateningly.Anya did not dare to go crazy on Jeremy, so she broke down and cried. "Jeremy, you mustn't believe a word of this woman! She's only a country bumpkin who wants to turn her fate by getting you to marry her. That's why she's trying to drive us apart… She thinks I'm getting in the way of her plans, so you mustn't believe her!"Jeremy was appalled by her lies, but he was still a gentleman through and through. Not wanting to raise her hand against her, he flung her

'And my own mother spiked the pomegranate juice with something that can induce miscarriage to get rid of Corinne's baby! I shouldn't have drank that pomegranate juice; I wouldn't have ended up in this hospital! Both Anya and my mom aren't the kind-hearted people I thought they were… It was all an act!' thought Sunny.Corinne could tell Sunny was suffering a heavy blow to his fragile heart. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Mister Sunny, I hope you get better soon and…come away from this with more wisdom."Sunny frowned unhappily at Corinne. He wanted to say something but decided to stay silent. No word would ever make up for the wrong Anya and Phoebe did to Corinne."Let's go, Mister." Corinne locked her hands with Jeremy's, and the two of them walked out of the room hand-in-hand.However, they had not even gotten two steps out when Anya grabbed Jeremy's sleeve. "Don't go, Jeremy… I… I can explain… Things aren't as Corinne says they are."Corinne yawned before glancing at A

"Lucas! Lucas…!"Anya collapsed onto the floor and kept crying. 'Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! It's all over for me!'The 'good girl' image she so painstakingly built over the years was destroyed in an instant by Corinne. She was out of ideas as even Lucas turned his back on her, too!Phoebe started to panic when she saw her daughter, who everyone used to pamper, was rebuked by everyone. Her heart broke when she saw how hard Lucas slapped Anya.She looked unhappily at Maxwell. "Say something, Maxwell! Didn't you just see how Lucas slapped Anya? As their father, shouldn't you do something about it?!"Maxwell sat there calmly. His face had lost its youthfulness, but in return, he looked like he gained a certain acceptance of life."The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This is all karma, so you have no one else to blame but yourself."Phoebe's face paled. "Maxwell! How can you talk like this about me and Anya? Haven't I always given the best to your family? What have I done for you to tre

Phoebe and Anya were shocked by Sunny yelling at them.Maxwell simply got up calmly and picked up his jacket that hung from the back of the chair. "Get well soon, Sunny. Press the call button if you need anything, and a nurse will come for you."He then walked toward the door, and on his way there, he said to Phoebe, "You should let your son rest if you want him to get better."He was out of the door by the time he said the last word.Phoebe frowned. With Anya having lost Lucas' trust, Sunny was Phoebe's only hope to stay in the family. Thus, she dared not provoke Sunny anymore, and she quickly dragged Anya out with her.Maxwell was nowhere to be found once the two of them got out of the room. Instead, they saw the bodyguards Lucas arranged to stand guard by Sunny's door.A wave of exhaustion washed over Anya as she finally calmed down. She slumped down on the chair and said anxiously, "What should we do now? Even Lucas doesn't believe me anymore! And I'm pretty sure Jeremy won't

"Corinne!"Corinne heard someone shout out her name just when she was about to get into the car. With one foot inside, she turned to look around and saw Lucas striding toward her."Corinne, a moment of your time, please? There's something I'd like to tell you in private," said Lucas softly.Corinne raised her brow a little. After considering it, she turned to Jeremy and said, "Mister, can you go buy me a bottle of yogurt drink at that convenience shop over there? I suddenly have a craving for it."Jeremy knew Corinne was trying to steer him away. He would not have allowed her to speak privately to a man if this had happened in the past, but it was different since he knew Lucas was her brother.They were long-lost siblings, and since Corinne was willing to speak to Lucas, Jeremy felt like it was not in his place to prevent her from doing so. Thus, he gently ruffled Corinne's hair and said, "Alright, then."He thus walked slowly to the convenience store in front of them.Lucas mad

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
