After that, the poker-faced Lucas—with his suit jacket flung over his shoulder— walked past Maxwell.Maxwell was used to Lucas' indifferent behavior toward him and thus did not blame him or was provoked. Lucas was unwilling to speak to him ever since Emily and Corinne left the family.Maxwell sat on the bench, narrowed his eyes, and looked toward the parking lot.Jeremy twisted open the cap of the yogurt drink and passed it to Corinne to drink. After taking a big mouthful, she put the bottle near Jeremy's lips, but she cheekily pulled it away again and burst out in laughter when he opened his mouth.The look in Maxwell's eyes softened. 'She really does look like Emily when she was younger. It's been ten years… I wonder how Emily is doing?'…Jeremy went up to shower after getting home. Corinne told him she wanted to watch the TV in the living room for a while, so she did not follow him upstairs. However, what she really did was to go into the kitchen.'Mister mustn't have eaten

Francine loved nothing more than to go shopping for bags, but she could not do that since her grandmother had canceled her card. Understandably, her eyes lit up when Corinne offered to buy her 10 Hermes bags.That was until she remembered how poor Corinne was. She looked at Corinne suspiciously and scoffed, "Are you sure you have the money to uphold your end of the deal?"Corinne smiled. "I'm sure your brother has even more if I don't have the means to. Or have you forgotten that your brother has given all his money to me?"'Oh, that's right. Hermes bags, here I come!' she thought happily."You better keep your word, Corinne. Don't you dare go back on your promise after I finish doing the practice book!"Corinne smiled. "Don't worry, you have my word. By the way, are you sure you don't want to have some noodles?"Francine glanced at the beaten egg in disgust and rolled her eyes. "Pfft! I don't want any of your stinky noodles. Even my dog wouldn't eat poor people's food like that.

Corinne's eyebrows shot up. "Mister, you know she didn't become like that in a day or two, right? No, she got like this because you and your family have been spoiling her rotten since she was little. Due to the nature of your relationship, you can't kick her out of the house, so we might as well slowly teach her how to be a decent human being and give her the space to figure things out for herself."Jeremy was a little taken aback. 'So she's doing all this for me?' Determined as he was to teach Francine a lesson, he could not bear to kick her out of the house. 'Where can she go? It'll be worse if she goes back to live with that wanton mother of hers!'Jeremy and Francine might be step-siblings, but she was the only sister he had, so he actually cherished her very much. Previously, he was too busy with work to guide her to be a decent human being. Not to mention, he would try to shower her with whatever she wanted out of guilt of leaving her all alone in the house.However, once she

Corinne came out of the kitchen and placed the bowl of noodles in front of Jeremy, who was sitting at the dining table and scrolling through his phone.He immediately put down his phone when he saw the steaming bowl of noodles with a boiled egg in front of him. He turned to her and said, "That was fast."Corinne untied her apron, pulled out the chair beside him, and sat. "It would've been faster if you didn't get in my way just now. Eat up while it's still hot."Jeremy smiled faintly, picked up his fork, and took a bite. "Not bad! But you don't have to cook for me anymore. We have servants for that, y'know."Corinne raised her eyebrow. "Is this your way of telling me my cooking is awful?"Jeremy pinched her cheek. "You little rascal. Is that how you see me? I was just worried that you'll tire yourself out."Corinne's face was all bent out of shape with all the pinching Jeremy was doing. She pouted and said, "It's just a bowl of noodles. How tiring can it be?""You're pregnant ri

Corinne wound her arms around Jeremy's neck and kissed him fiercely. The movement caused Jeremy's bathrobe to come undone and revealed his toned chest, which made Corinne's heart beat even faster than it did.Jeremy was ecstatic to see Corinne taking the initiative to kiss him first. He smiled and kissed her back just as hard as she did to regain control. 'Oh, I could just eat her up!' he thought.Just when their passion nearly boiled over, Corinne pinched Jeremy's arm and looked at him lustily. "Not here. Let's go back to our room.""Okay," replied Jeremy huskily. He lifted her in his arms and went up the stairs, all while he stole kisses from her. He then kicked open the door, gently put her on the bed, and took off his bathrobe.Seeing his naked body reminded Corinne of something. She sat up and said, "Mister, I… I haven't taken a shower yet."Jeremy pressed her down the bed once more. "No worries. I'll wash you up after we're done."Corinne's ears turned red. "Mister…"Jerem

"Here, I've finished the practice questions. Now go buy me the ten Hermes bags you've promised me."Corinne took the practice book and flipped through the pages. All the answers were correct. "How can you prove that you did this yourself?"Francine frowned. "How can I prove it, you say? Well, you'll find the handwriting is mine if you just compare the handwriting in this book with all my other books."Corinne scoffed. "I'm not asking you whether you wrote it. What I'm asking is how can you prove that you didn't cheat? You could've gotten these answers somewhere else."Francine blinked unnaturally. "Who—me, cheat? How can I cheat when there was no one in the room for me to copy answers off of?""Tsk! You could've copied the answers off online!"Francine looked away guiltily. "I don't even have a computer, so how can I do that?""You could've used your phone!""Are you trying to back out of your promise, Corinne?"Corinne smacked Francine with the practice book. "I'm not trying

"Don't worry, she won't dare do anything to me. Though, I'm afraid I need to keep an eye on her, so can you please ask the servant to bring my breakfast to me?" said Corinne softly.Bowen nodded. "Certainly. I'll ask the servant to bring it right away. And umm… Ma'am? Let me know if Miss Francine is acting up again."Corinne gave him an OK hand gesture before closing the door.Francine had just completed a few pages of the questions by the time Corinne finished her breakfast. Instead of rushing her, Corinne simply sat on the other end of the sofa and played on her phone.It was noon in the blink of an eye, and Francine finished the questions on the last page before she handed the practice book to Corinne to check. "I've finished! Let's see how you try to back out of your promise now."Corinne put down her phone and took the practice book. A smile quickly appeared on her face while she flipped through the pages.Francine frowned unhappily. "What are you smiling about?"Corinne sh

Francine skipped her lunch just so she could redo the questions. After painstakingly going through the questions again, she passed the book to Corinne."Here. All done."Corinne took a look at it and chuckled softly. "Not bad. You've got ten questions right. Quite an improvement."Francine felt a little humiliated. 'I only got ten questions right after listening to the lesson for an hour?'"I'm hungry! I'm going to have my lunch now." She could not stand to be humiliated by the one person she looked down at the most, so she chose to run away."Wait," ordered Corinne softly.Francine stopped in her tracks and turned back to glare at her. "What? I can't even have my lunch? Do you want me to starve to death?"Corinne put down the practice book, stood up, and put on her jacket. "I'm hungry too, so let's go out and eat together."Francine was a little surprised. 'She's inviting me out to lunch? Is this another one of her tricks?'"Heh! I wouldn't be caught dead with you out in publ

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
