"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

Francine's curiosity was then piqued. "Hey, Corinne. Why don't you get yourself a little something too since you have full access to my brother's credit card?""I have everything I need, so there's no need to buy anything."Frowning, Francine looked Corinne up and down with disgust. 'Her clothes are so basic… I mean, she's pretty enough to wear such basic clothing, but how will anybody know she's rich if she doesn't wear branded stuff?'"Of course you need to buy something! In fact, you should throw away all the clothes you have now and revamp your wardrobe. Corinne, you're Missus Hart now, so you should dress accordingly. If not, you'll just be an embarrassment to my brother."Corinne raised her head to look at Francine with something she could not quite decipher. This made Francine realize what she had just said. Thus, she cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "Ahem! Don't get me wrong. This is by no way me accepting you as my sister-in-law… I just think you should at least clea

Jason moved closer to Corinne. "Help me get out of this arranged marriage in a way that won't make both sides of the family mad."Corinne frowned. She did not bother to conceal the disgust she felt. "You know you can just tell her you're not interested, right? Why waste everybody's time by pretending to be a gentleman and bringing her here to shop for bags? It's just going to make her think you're interested in her."Jason shrugged. "I did tell her that, but she insisted it doesn't matter since we can slowly get to know each other and 'who knows, fall in love one day'. I've taken her out to lunch and to a movie…but I don't know what else we can do. She didn't want to go home, so she dragged me out to this mall."Corinne, you've always been a smart one. Can you please come up with a way to get me out of this?"Corinne took a sip of her coffee. She then looked up and down at the exasperated Jason, thinking, 'Well, with that handsome face of his and wealthy family background, any girl

"She's actually…" Jason was about to say Corinne was Jeremy's wife when Corinne cut him off."We actually got to know each other through having the same illness," quipped Corinne."Illness?" repeated Lola in shock.Jason never expected Corinne would respond in such a way. He initially frowned, but he then smiled in anticipation of what she was going to say next.Corinne nodded. "Yeah. He and I were in the same group chat created to talk about our illness. We were just talking about how he was doing just now."Lola looked questioningly at Jason. "What illness is she talking about? Jason, are you sick? Why didn't you tell me?""Uh-oh. Sounds like you haven't told her yet, Jason," said Corinne in mock surprise.Jason smiled and decided to play along. "Yeah, I haven't found the right time to tell her yet.""Oh, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have been such a big blabbermouth," said Corinne apologetically.Jason shook his head. "It's okay. I have to tell her sooner or later."Lola was

Jason felt like crying and laughing at the sight.He then turned to look at Corinne, who sipped her coffee peacefully."Corinne, I might never get a wife if word gets out about this. What woman would want to marry a man who has an incurable intractable disease?" he asked with a raised eyebrow."You were the one who asked me to get out of the arranged marriage. What happens after this is none of my problems," Corinne replied nonchalantly.Jason rubbed his chin and smiled at her. "That won't do! You have to marry me if I can't get a wife because of this!"Corinne gave him a bored side-eye. "How can I do that when I'm married?"Jason narrowed his eyes. "Oh, I'm not in a rush. I can wait until you're divorced."Corinne took it as a joke. "And what if I'm never getting a divorce?" she asked after chuckling."Oh, you will," Jason said meaningfully.'That sounded more like a threat than a joke…' thought Corinne. She turned to him and raised her eyebrow. "What makes you think that?"

Corinne took out the gold credit card from her pocket and passed it to Francine. "Here, you can use this card. It doesn't require a pin code."Francine walked over and snatched the card from her. She threw her an angry glance before going over to the payment counter.After Francine left, Jason raised his eyebrow. "That's not Jeremy's card, is it?" he asked interestedly."How did you know?" asked Corinne.Jason smiled. "Because Jeremy only uses black cards."The bank only gave out black cards to their most exclusive clients; wealth was not the sole criterion for eligibility. On the other hand, they would give out gold cards to any client who had a certain amount of savings in their account.Jason straightened himself in his seat. "You're using your money to buy a bag for Francine? You do realize we're at the Hermes store, right?""I've promised her I'd buy her one. I can use Jeremy's card, but I don't have a habit of using other people's money to make someone like me."The look

Not wanting to let Corinne talk to Jason anymore, Francine dragged her out of the store. Once outside, she let go of her and muttered 'sl*t' under her breath.Corinne pretended not to have heard it. She looked around and asked, "What do you want to have for lunch?"Francine nearly blew up when she failed to bait Corinne into a fight. "I saw everything! Jason used a photo of you as his phone's wallpaper! Isn't it enough that you've seduced my brother that you're now seducing Jason, too?"Corinne did not even notice Jason used a photo of her as his phone's wallpaper. Surprised, she could not help but wonder how Jason managed to get her photo. After thinking about it, she recalled him saving a photo of her when he helped Annie take a group photo during the party held at Lunar Century Manor last time.'Ugh… Doesn't he have any boundaries at all?' she thought angrily. Then, while walking to the Asian cuisine restaurant in front of them, Corinne answered nonchalantly, "It's not like you'

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
