Jeremy roughly lifted Corinne's chin. "Who am I to you?"Corinne was speechless.Noting her silence, Jeremy repeated his question more sternly, "Answer me! Who am I to you?""Umm… You're my boyfriend…?" murmured Corinne vaguely.Jeremy's lower jaw tensed as he smirked. "We have a baby coming, and you still see me as just your boyfriend?"Corinne frowned. She was really at a loss at what she should call him.Jeremy moved his face closer to hers and bit her ear. "You little rascal. That's not what you call me while we're in bed."Corinne did not really feel pain. Nonetheless, she blushed madly. "What are you doing?" she cried while trying to push him away.Jeremy grabbed her hand to stop her from pushing him away. He then gazed into her eyes. "Do you seriously think I'll blame you and ask you to compensate me for the losses just because of some scandal? Corinne, you might still see me as an outsider, but I don't."Corinne was stunned. "I just don't like causing trouble for other

Jeremy was stunned. He turned to look at her with an indecipherable emotion flashing in his eyes. He then took out his phone and shoved it into her palm. "Take a look and find out for yourself why I gave her my contact details!"Corinne thought she might as well since he volunteered to let her go through his phone.Jeremy had indeed accepted the girl's friend request invitation. After that, the girl sent him a lot of photos and a link, but he did not reply.Corinne blushed with embarrassment after she looked at the photos and link."That girl is Annie's classmate. She's now working at a high-end postpartum care center and heard from Annie that you're pregnant. She asked me whether I'd be interested in their services. She'd send me the photos and details before I proceed with the booking. I thought you might need it, so I agreed to exchange contact details with her."Corinne fell silent."Even though you're still far off from the due date, I thought it might be best I learn more a

Jeremy stopped the car somewhere off the mansion's gate.Corinne was so tired that she could not wait to take a shower and sleep. Thus, when she realized the car had stopped, she asked, "Why did you stop the car here?"Jeremy gestured with his chin to somewhere in front of them. "That's Lucas' car. He's probably here to look for you."Corinne looked to where he was gesturing and saw a car parked at the side of the road. Lucas must have noticed them too, so he got down from the car and stood there looking at them.Seeing this, Jeremy turned to Corinne. "Do you want to talk to him? I can just drive into the mansion if you don't want to."He would not have even asked her if it were not for the fact he knew Lucas was her brother.Corinne narrowed her eyes. "I might as well find out what he wants since he's made the trip.""Okay, I'll wait for you here," said Jeremy while ruffling her hair.After that, Corinne got down from the car and walked toward Lucas.Lucas' eyes immediately l

'Jeremy has been tapping away on his phone when I came down from Annie's room. He kept ignoring me at the time, but it had to be then that he made the hashtags vanish,' thought Corinne."Corinne, the hashtags might've disappeared, but this rumor won't die down that easily. To be on the safe side, it's best if you stay home these few days," urged Lucas.Corinne nodded. "Thanks for your concern, but I can take care of myself. I'm going to head back now if there's nothing else.""Wait!"Corinne sat back down. "Yes?"Lucas looked at her, conflicted. "Corinne, don't you find the whole thing weird? The media companies here would never dare to report about Holden Group unless they had conclusive evidence."After the hashtags disappeared, I asked someone to look into the matter, and they found out some media company from abroad started the whole thing. This makes me think the culprit isn't only targeting you but every one of the Holdens. You must be careful, okay?"Corinne was starting

Greg smacked his wheelchair's armrest and scoffed angrily. "So what if he doesn't agree? Who's the grandfather here—him or me? As long as I'm still alive, I get to say how this family will be run!""Goodness… I forget just how stubborn you can get," uttered Pamela with dismay. She was about to persuade Greg when a voice sounded from behind them."I'm sorry for causing trouble for this family and the company, Grandpa. But don't worry, I promise I'll restore the company's reputation and compensate you for any losses you might have incurred because of me," said Corinne.Greg was stunned to hear her voice. However, his frown deepened when he turned to look at her. Both Pamela and Francine did the same, too.Corinne and Jeremy stood somewhere not far behind them.Pamela blushed sheepishly. "Corinne, Jeremy, when did you two get home? Why didn't you say anything?""We just arrived," answered Jeremy.Greg looked at Corinne suspiciously. "You say you'll compensate us for the loss? How?"

At this moment, however, Francine felt a little about her instead.…As soon as she got back into her room, Corinne took off her jacket, wormed under the blanket, and hugged her pillow.Jeremy, too, took off his suit jacket and placed it on the sofa while loosening his tie with his other hand. "Don't take what Grandpa said to heart. He doesn't get a say about our relationship," he said in his deep voice.Hearing this, Corinne lazily half-opened her eyes to look at him. "Are you serious? Weren't you the one who married a random girl you met not even for one second just because your grandfather pressured you to get married?"Jeremy looked down at her. "Desperate time calls for desperate measures. He was critically ill then and refused to get an operation until I got married."Corinne, still hugging the pillow, pouted and kicked his legs lightly. "What if he threatens you with his life again? Then you'll have no choice but to kick me out of the house."Jeremy grabbed her restless f

There was none. The trending topics were all about some other celebrities. 'Jeremy must've buried the news after all…'However, she had a lot of unread messages on her social media account. She tapped open to see them. She received the most messages from Annie, which was right at the top of the list. She started to read them all after clicking on the chat window.[Corinne, have you and Uncle Jeremy reached home?][Corinne! Corinne! You're trending again!][Someone has posted some screenshots of the news in some forums abroad.][Corinne, the mother and daughter who accused you of stealing the daughter's university spot is doing a live stream in some app. They've painted themselves as some poor victim. You should look.]Attached to the message was a link.Corinne quickly clicked on the link and saw it was indeed Josephine and her mother.The older woman was sobbing while describing the 'injustice' Corinne brought on to her daughter. Josephine, as usual, was crying with her head l

[Look! She's getting all anxious again!][Is she Corinne?]LuckyAnn replied, [I'm Joe Mama!]Corinne looked at the screen and knew right away that the enthusiastic individual with the 'LuckyAnn' username was Annie. She exited the live stream and sent a message to Annie. [Go to bed. Don't waste your time with them.]Annie quickly sent another message. [But I'm pissed at them, Corinne! They're slandering you when they don't even understand what's going on!][I didn't do anything wrong, so I have no reason to be afraid of anything. Be a good girl, and ignore them.]Annie sent another emoticon denoting her frustration. Corinne did not reply to her anymore and clicked into the group chat just below her chat with Annie.[Aaron: What's going on, boss? Why are people slandering your university entrance exam all of a sudden?][Xante: Our boss is the top student in the university entrance examination. That much is undisputed. Everyone in her year knows that she excelled in her studies!]

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
