Marvin scratched his head in embarrassment. "Sigh! Just my rotten luck to have taken in a shameless daughter!"Sherlyn clutched his elbow and said, "Dad, you shouldn't get sad over that ingrate. After all, you still have me.""She's right, Marvin. We still have Sherlyn! As for Corinne, the only thing we can do is hope for her to come to her senses and pay what she owes to Josephine!"Josephine's mother's act was so convincing that Pamela could not help but believe her a little. She turned to look at Corinne, not wanting to believe the granddaughter-in-law she adored was that kind of person."You could say I used Josephine's results and that I had an abortion, but if you don't have proof… Well, I guess I'll see you in court," said Corinne calmly."The proof is that you had an abortion a few days before the exams!""Where did I have an abortion? Which hospital did I do it at? Who was the attending doctor?" asked Corinne rapidly."As if anyone would know that many details about you

Jeremy's deep voice came from behind them, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.The Carews, Josephine, and her mother turned to look at him. All of them were shocked and awed by just how handsome he was, especially Sherlyn. This was not the first time she met Jeremy, but her heart would race whenever she met him.'I was so close to marrying him! I would've been his wife if it weren't for Corinne.' The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, there was nothing she could do then but to watch Jeremy gracefully sit beside Corinne.Jeremy even picked up Corinne's coffee and drank it nonchalantly. The way he behaved with Corinne was so intimate that Sherlyn could not help but go green with envy. Even Josephine stared at Jeremy dazedly.Out of all the young women there, only Corinne seemed to be unperturbed by Jeremy's entrance. She simply glanced at him before turning her attention back to Josephine and her mother.Jeremy narrowed his eyes at the unexpected

Everyone there knew what Josephine's mother meant by 'down there'. They were all adults, after all. That was, everyone except Francine.She frowned and asked curiously, "Where's 'down there'?"Everyone turned to look at her with annoyance. Even Josephine's mother was stumped by her question.Pamela slapped Francine's hand. "Don't interrupt while the grown-ups are talking."Francine pulled her hand back out of pain; she did not even know what she had done wrong. "But Grandma, I'm not a kid anymore! In fact, I'm a year older than Corinne," she said with a pout.Pamela furrowed her brow. "This has nothing to do with you, so go back to your room now!""Fine, I won't say anything anymore!" Francine did not want to go back to her room; she wanted to see how the whole thing would play out in the end. Although she did not really like Corinne, she did not think she was the type of girl who would fool around with other men.In fact, during the times when she fought tooth and nail to banis

"So behave yourself a little!" Corinne moved away from Jeremy in annoyance.However, Jeremy was having none of that. He pulled her back into his arms. Even when Corinne struggled, he whispered adoringly into her ear, "Hey, be a good girl now. I'm going to kiss you in front of everyone if you don't stop moving."This made Corinne even more irritated. 'Ugh! This is so embarrassing. How can I ever show my face in front of Grandma again?' She knew better than anyone that Jeremy never makes empty threats. He might really kiss me in front of everyone if I don't stop moving…'She decided to give up the fight and buried her head into Jeremy's chest. This way, she could pretend she was not there.Seeing this, Pamela's gaze gradually softened. 'Jeremy must have a firm grasp of her past to trust her so much. After all, the most precious thing a couple could have is trust in each other,' she thought, more confident in her thoughts. After that, she mentally berated herself for believing some st

"I also want her to come clean to everyone about what she did to my daughter. I want her to apologize publicly!"Hearing this, Corinne slowly raised her head and turned to look at Josephine's mother as if she was looking at something ridiculous. However, Jeremy pressed her face back into his chest as he did not want her to dirty her eyes by looking at these conniving people.Jeremy glanced at Josephine, who had been crying ever since she arrived. "Your daughter isn't qualified to work at my company since she doesn't have a degree."Josephine's mother frowned and said, "She would have if Corinne didn't steal her spot! Mister Jeremy, Corinne is now your wife, and I can tell you two love each other very much. Thus, it's only natural for you to bear the consequences of what she did in the past. I know you're the president of your company, and that means everything you say matters! I'm sure you'll only need to say a word to get my daughter a job in your company.""You still haven't been

"Let's go, Josephine! Don't worry, I'll make them pay for ruining your future!"After that, all that could hear was Josephine's crying and her mother's string of curses.With the duo kicked out, only the Carews were left sitting dazedly in the living room.With her hands on her hips, Francine walked up to them and sharply asked, "What are you three still doing here? Go now before we ask the bodyguards to drag you out, too!"That snapped the Carews out of their shock. They immediately got up and left. However, before he left, Marvin said worriedly, "Ma'am, Mister Jeremy, I want you to know I had no choice but to bring Josephine and her mother here since they wouldn't leave my house unless I promised them I'd do so. Please bear in mind we have nothing to do with them should they do something in the future to cross you."Pamela looked at the cowardly Marvin in disgust. She could not believe he was Corinne's adoptive father. 'She's so different from her family! I'm so glad she turned

Before Sherlyn left, she saw Jeremy scooping up Corinne in his arms, causing her to nearly explode with jealous rage. 'It's not fair! Why does that country bumpkin get all the love from someone like Jeremy?! I would've been his wife if it wasn't for her! Just wait, Corinne! I'm going to make you pay for ruining my life!'…Jeremy carried Corinne up the stairs while Pamela looked at them happily. "I've got to hand it to Corinne: She really whipped Jeremy into shape. I never thought I'd live to see this lovey-dovey side of him."Francine simply shrugged, so used to it by then. 'Jeremy certainly has changed a lot since he met Corinne.'At that moment, Greg came in in his wheelchair. When he saw Jeremy carrying Corinne up the stairs, he scoffed. "Hmph! How inappropriate!"Hearing this, Pamela threw a warning look at him. "Just what has gotten into you lately?""Why did that punk have to marry a wild girl like her? I haven't even been back long, yet look what happened! All that fuss f

Corinne knew not to fight her way out of this; not when she was trapped under Jeremy. Thus, she simply said, "Cut it out, Mister! Annie is still waiting for me to call her. It might be something urgent. Why don't you get up first, and we'll talk about this later?"'Does that mean I can do whatever I want to her later?' thought Jeremy. He did not want Corinne to be thinking about other stuff while they were doing it, so he got up from her.Corinne immediately got off the bed to look for her phone. After that, she ran into the bathroom and locked the door before calling Annie. 'He might come barging in if I don't lock the door…'The call quickly went through."Corinne!" chirped Annie happily. It sounded like she had been waiting for her to call back for a long time. "What were you doing? Why didn't you pick up any of my calls?""I left my phone in the bedroom while I was having dinner downstairs. What's up? Did something urgent happen?""Umm… Frankly, I called because of… Aaron…" a

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
