Corinne followed the servant out of the dining room. Jeremy knew how complicated Corinne's relationship was with the Carews, so out of worry for her, he stood up and made his way out too.All of a sudden, Greg stopped him."Jeremy," Greg called out sternly.Jeremy turned back to look at him. "Yes, Grandpa?"Frowning, he turned his wheelchair around. "Come to my room. I have something to ask you."Jeremy turned to look at Corinne's disappearing figure with disappointment. After thinking over it, he followed Greg into his room.…As soon as she stepped outside, Corinne saw Sherlyn's old red sports car.Sherlyn's eyes, which were caked in heavy makeup, widened with hatred when she saw Corinne.Corinne ordered the servant who followed her out to go back inside the mansion before she walked up to Sherlyn.Sherlyn got down from her sports car and arrogantly walked up to Corinne in her six-inch heels. "Well, hello there, Corinne. It's been a while."Corinne looked at her calmly. "T

Marvin got out of the front passenger seat and rushed over angrily to where Corinne and the others were.As usual, he did not get a grasp of the situation before scolding her, "Corinne, how can you live your life as a wealthy man's wife so carefreely when you caused so much suffering for others? I regret ever taking you in!"Lilliana also got down from the car. She looked at Corinne smugly.Corinne was unfazed by their arrival. She simply said calmly, "Uncle Marvin, can you explain to me what you meant by that? Just what suffering did I cause to others to make you come running here to accuse me like this?"Marvin pointed at her angrily. "Don't play dumb with me, you ingrate! I should've beaten you to death when I had the chance to spare myself from the disgrace you brought to the family!"'Ingrate? How laughable for him to call me that when he's never raised me. All he had ever done was to feed me a few times before leaving me with his relatives in the countryside,' thought Corinn

"Say whatever you want here. You can leave if you don't want to. I don't have much time to be wasting here with you," commented Corinne curtly.Marvin could stand Corinne's arrogant attitude. "What did you say? Corinne Carew, don't forget who raised you!"Corinne laughed. "Ha! Of course I won't forget. It was Mother Cathrina, not you.""Why you!" Marvin seemed to have deflated a little.At that moment, Lilliana held Marvin's elbow, sighed, and said snarkily, "Marvin, it stands to reason Corinne won't see us as her adopted parents anymore since she's married into the Holden family."It was laughable when Marvin called himself Corinne's adopted father, but when Lilliana called herself Corinne's adopted mother… It sounded like the greatest joke of the century. Not only did Lilliana not raise Corinne, but she actually abused her!'Ha! How dare she call herself my adopted mother!' thought Corinne.Corinne smirked at Lilliana."Aunt Lilliana, you're mistaken. It's not only now I don'

Corinne walked up to Pamela. She held her by the arm and shook her head resolutely. "Grandma, he's not my father.""Then why did they come to find you? Do you need me to handle this?" asked Pamela worriedly.Corinne was touched by Pamela's attentiveness. She smiled and shook her head again. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take care of this myself. You've only just finished dinner, so it's best you go back inside to take a rest."She then turned to look at Francine. "Francine, bring Grandma in with you. Don't let her worry, you hear?"Surprisingly, Francine simply nodded and led Pamela into the mansion by the elbow.Pamela was still worried about Corinne but decided not to say anything since she insisted she could handle it herself."Ma'am, wait! We are Corinne's family. This ingrate cut ties with us after marrying into your family!" shouted Sherlyn.Pamela paused in her tracks.Seeing this, Lilliana quickly added, "Ma'am, we are Corinne's family—honest! Otherwise, why would we come

Two women came out of the sports car. One looked to be about 40 or 50 years old, and the other looked to be about 20 years old. They were both dressed very plainly. The 20 year-old-woman, who was sporting two braids, was dressed in an old checkered shirt, washed-out jeans, and dirty sneakers.As they got closer, Corinne thought that looked familiar, yet she could not quite put her finger on where she met them.The older woman glared at Corinne as soon as she was near her. "Corinne, have you no shame living such a luxurious life while you're to blame for the pitiful condition you've put my daughter in?" she sneered.'Ah, so they're mother and daughter,' thought Corinne. She looked at the older woman. "I'm sorry, but who are you?""Don't think you'll get away with what you did to us by playing dumb!" spat the older woman angrily.Throughout the conversation, her daughter kept her head lowered. Judging by her trembling shoulders, she seemed to be crying quietly."And what did I do t

Thus, Pamela's thoughtfulness startled and soothed Corinne's heart. 'Grandma's right. These people aren't going to give up that easily. They're going to come again and again until they get to say whatever they want to the Holdens.'After thinking about it, Corinne nodded and said, "Okay. We'll do it your way, Grandma."Pamela nodded as well. As they finally came to an understanding, she stepped forward and looked down at the kneeling, crying mother-daughter duo."Stop crying, you two," she ordered sternly. "You're going to make other people think we have a death in the family if you keep this up!"The mother-daughter duo were immediately shocked into silence. After a while, the older woman said, "Ma'am, we didn't mean to cause trouble for you. It's just that Corinne did a number on us, and we have no one else to turn to…"Pamela ignored her and turned to the servant waiting for instructions instead. "Bring them in first so we won't be the laughingstock of the neighborhood. We'll t

Josephine's mother clutched her daughter's hand tightly. She cried pitifully, "Ma'am, we're from Westrise Village. Josephine, my daughter here, and Corinne were in the same class in high school."Corinne, sitting beside Pamela, was sipping her coffee. Hearing this, she looked at Josephine. 'She does look like one of the girls in my class, but I don't think I was ever close to her.'"So?" prompted Pamela."Corinne wasn't doing all that well in high school. She'd often skip class to hang out with the young thugs outside of school," Josephine's mother continued.Pamela frowned. She did not really believe the older woman's words. She turned to look at her sensible granddaughter-in-law and thought, 'No matter how I see it, Corinne doesn't look like someone who'd skip class.'Corinne simply smiled as if she was listening to the funniest joke on earth and calmly sipping her coffee.Josephine's mother added, "On the day of their SAT exams, my daughter arrived in class on time. She's the

Josephine's mother raised her head from her daughter's shoulder and wiped her tears with her sleeves. "Ask away! There's no way for you to worm yourself out of this when you know what I said was true!"Corinne smirked and asked evenly, "You mentioned your daughter was a top student. Why didn't you let her repeat another year after you found out there was no record of her SAT exam results in the system?"If she was as excellent as you said she was, she could've gotten into University of New Capital City after repeating another year of school. And even if she wasn't, she could've gone to trade school instead of wasting her youth farming, right?"Josephine's mother's expression changed. She then glared vehemently at Corinne. "How can you talk so nonchalantly? Don't you know it takes money to repeat another year or go to trade school? We've spent what we have to send her to high school so that she might change her life through higher education, but you stole all that away from her!""G

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
