Lilliana and Sherlyn were both shocked by their arrival. They looked at Cedric and Beatrice in confusion.Even though Anya was not shocked, she felt like her world was shattering. She looked at them both feebly. "Grandpa, Grandma, I… I don't know them, and… I have no idea what they were talking about! Corinne must've paid them off to frame me like this…"Corinne walked into the living room, too. "Miss Anya, the proof is right here. There's no use trying to get your way out of this," she said with a chuckle.Anya glared at her with hatred, but she was unable to offer up a retort.Phoebe walked into the living room to defend her daughter. "Anya is right, you know! One of these women is your stepmother, and the other is your sister. It's only natural they'd do anything to help you!"Corinne glanced at Phoebe before turning to Lilliana and Sherlyn. Then, she snorted as though she had heard a cold joke. "Miss Phoebe, do they look like they'd help me? Didn't you hear what they said?"P

Cedrice walked toward Corinne with a cane. "Don't worry, Corinne. I'll teach them a lesson for framing you."Corinne smiled. "Thank you, Grandpa Cedric. For believing me."Lilliana and Sherlyn knew they could never escape this. They thought Cedric was referring to them instead of Anya and Phoebe when he said he would teach 'them' a lesson, causing them to want to run away in fright.Lilliana forcibly smiled. "Umm… Excuse me, but I need to go home to attend to some urgent matters. We're going to make a move now."Sherlyn grasped Lilliana's elbow anxiously. "G… Goodbye, then."After that, they ran out of the living room as quickly as possible and since the servants did not receive any order to stop them, they just let them go.Cedric and Beatrice paid no mind to Lilliana and Sherlyn at all. What they were really concerned about was how to punish Phoebe and Anya—the two women who brought disgrace to their family name.The two elderly people sat down, scowling. Frowning, Cedric look

"The allegations must be true since you don't have any proof to say otherwise. Anya was just trying to do something kind for Josephine and her mother anonymously. That was why she asked your stepmother to be the middle person!"Corinne was so impressed by Phoebe's quick wit to turn the tables around that she nearly clapped for her. 'Phoebe might be shameless, but she sure is quick-witted!'"I might not have any proof, but I have this!" Corinne casually tapped on her temple.No one knew what she was talking about.Phoebe frowned. "What do you mean? Is this another trick of yours? Well, you should give it up now!"Corinne crossed her arms nonchalantly. "Josephine and her mother kept saying I couldn't have gotten into University of New Capital City with my grade, given how I always skipped class. Well, why don't Josephine and I compete in a test where the whole thing will be broadcasted live?"Anya knew all the things Josephine and her mother said were fake and that it was Lilliana

Corinne guessed Cedric and Beatrice wanted her to stay for dinner to make up for all the trouble Phoebe and Anya caused her. However, she did not want to stay a minute longer than she had to. All she wanted to do was say her piece and peace out."Don't worry, Grandpa, Grandma. I'll give Corinne a ride," said Lucas consolingly.Cedric nodded. "Yes, you must do that. We've caused nothing but trouble for her.""Lucas, tell Corinne how sorry we are," added Beatrice."I know," said Lucas.The three of them ignored Phoebe and Anya throughout the conversation. They must have thought they were nothing but a nuisance by then.…When Corinne stepped out of the mansion, she bumped into Maxwell who seemed to have come from the garden, judging by his soil-caked hands. He might have dressed very well all the time, but his hands seemed to be forever dirty. Also, he did not seem to care about any of the happenings in the house. Well, not as much as he did with his plants.Maxwell was surprised

Maxwell sighed and turned around. He was walking back to the mansion when he bumped into another person. This time, it was his son, Lucas."Aren't you going to work today?" Maxwell asked with concern, though it seemed to have not landed well with Lucas.Lucas glanced at his father coldly. "I'm going right now," he said neutrally.Maxwell was used to being treated so coldly by Lucas, so he thought nothing of it and walked back to the mansion.The atmosphere inside the mansion was very gloomy. Phoebe and Anya were still hugging each other, crying.Maxwell simply glanced at them and walked upstairs to wash his hand in his attached bathroom without asking anything. It was as if nothing happened at all.Cedric, who was in the living room, was beyond irked at their incessant crying. "For god's sake, will you two just stop crying?! Especially you, Anya. You should be ashamed of what you did," he said angrily.Anya's eyes were grossly swollen by then. "Grandpa…" she whimpered.Phoebe w

"Find the best tutor you can in the country to get Josephine up to speed on every subject," Phoebe answered after thinking it over.Anya frowned. "Mom, we only have three days. Even if Josephine studies twenty-four hours every day, she'll still lose to the straight-A Corinne."Phoebe narrowed her eyes slyly. "Corinne asked your grandfather to arrange the test paper, right? Well, I'll figure out a way to get those test papers within these two days. That'll give Josephine an advantage over Corinne."Anya's eyes lit up when she heard Phoebe's brilliant idea. "Okay! We'll do just that. I'm sure we'll get Corinne this time! Her life will definitely be ruined forever! Hahaha!"Phoebe nodded. "Now go find that tutor for Josephine. It's best if she equips herself with some basic knowledge so that she'd be less likely to get exposed as a fraud.""I'll get on to it now!"…Phoebe went back to her room after that, only to see Maxwell—who had just finished showering—walking out of the bathr

Phoebe was hoping her alluring body would elicit Maxwell's desire for her.Maxwell merely stared at her face. "Feel free to get another man to satisfy you if you're desperate for some action. I promise I won't get jealous or anything."He walked past her to get into his cubicle.Phoebe was humiliated! She used to be the belle of the school, with men lining up to ask her to be their girlfriend. In all her life so far, Maxwell was the only one who treated her as if she was invisible!God must be playing a joke on her because not only was Maxwell her best friend's husband, but also because she fell hopelessly in love with him at first sight. She must have him no matter what!"Tell me, Maxwell. Just what makes Emily better than me? Why won't you even touch me? I'm much hotter than that skinny-ass Emily!"Maxwell paused in his tracks when he heard Emily's name. "Stop bringing her up," he ordered gruffly.Phoebe did not listen to him. "You know she's a sl*t, right? She cheated on you

Corinne was elated. 'I can shake Lucas off once I get to the subway station!' she thought.After looking left and right for any incoming cars, Corinne stepped onto the crosswalk and sped up so she could get away from Lucas.Just as she was about to reach the other side, a car heading straight for her suddenly appeared out of nowhere! She had no time to react!Before it was too late, Lucas threw himself onto her.Wanting to make sure Corinne's baby would not get crushed, Lucas turned Corinne around when they fell so she would fall on top of him. At that moment, only the sound of the car tires screeching and the muffled thud of Lucas hitting the ground could be heard. It was a dangerously close call!The first thing Corinne did after she recovered from her shock was to mentally note down the details of the car that nearly hit them. It was a gray van with the car plate number XXXXX.After that, she looked down at Lucas. "Mister Lucas, are you okay?" she asked as she got up.Lucas s

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
