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

Corinne helped Lucas, who was hopping on one foot, out of the orthopedic department to a chair so he could rest for a bit. The doctor had ordered an X-ray of Lucas' foot.Lucas was not keen on sitting; he wanted to go straight to the X-ray room.Corinne immediately stopped him when she saw he was about to put his injured foot down. "Don't move. The doctor said you shouldn't put pressure on that foot until we have the X-ray result."Lucas believed the doctor was overreacting. "A few steps won't hurt," he insisted."No. Stop! Don't move!" Corinne cried out in a panic.Lucas did not dare to disobey Corinne's order, so he sat back down."Stay here, and don't move. I'll go get you a wheelchair," said Corinne gruffly.Lucas smiled and nodded. 'I would've gotten hurt earlier if I knew I'd receive this kind of treatment from her.'Corinne got a wheelchair for the nurse. She then helped Lucas onto it and wheeled him to the X-ray room. She made sure to carefully support him throughout th

Jeremy, who was sitting at the head of the table of the meeting room in his company, immediately stood up. His usually aloof face was riddled with rarely-seen anxiety. "What happened? Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"'I should've gone with her to the Riveras!' he thought. 'Did they hurt her again?'All kinds of possible scenarios flashed through his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe.Corinne's lips twitched. "Mister, I'm okay."Jeremy frowned. "Why did you go to the hospital if you're okay? By the way, which hospital are you at right now?"Corinne was starting to get a headache. "Lucas broke his foot when he tried to save me from getting hit by a car. He can't walk at the moment and he lost his phone, so we have no way of contacting his family. I can't carry him either, so…"Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief. "You're not allowed to carry him even if you have the strength to do so. Wait right there. I'll be there right away.""Okay," Corinne replied with a nod

At that moment, Tommy walked in and knocked on the door twice to break the discussion. "Ahem! Why are you still all here when the meeting's over? How about I pass on all the questions you've raised to Mister Jeremy later?"Everything stopped talking when they saw Tommy walk in. They exchanged glances before collecting their things and walking out of the meeting room.…Corinne was helping Lucas to drink water from a bottle when Jeremy reached the hospital. He frowned when he saw what they were doing from a distance. 'That little rascal has never fed me water before!'He walked up to Corinne from behind and glared at Lucas. "I heard it's your foot that got broken, so why can't you use your own hand to drink water?"Corinne stood up and turned when she heard his voice. "Mister, you're here!"Jeremy glanced at her and took the bottle of mineral water from her hand. He then walked forward and looked down condescendingly at Lucas. "Can you drink the water yourself? Or do you need me t

Lucas did not like Jeremy either, but he wanted to get back at him for ruining his time with Corinne. He thus spread his arm widely and said, "Thanks for the piggyback, brother-in-law!"The title 'brother-in-law' unsettled Jeremy. He felt happy, but he was annoyed as well. In the end, he did not give Lucas a piggyback because he could not accept having another man lying on his back, but he had to find a way to make Corinne happy at the same time.Thus, he walked up to Lucas and scooped him up into his strong arms. He then carried him into the car as passersby watched on. A handsome man carrying another equally handsome man in his arms was really a sight to behold!All the eyes of the nurses manning the reception counter lit up, and they quickly covered their mouths to stop themselves from screaming like fangirls. All the other hospital-goers snuck glances at Jeremy and Lucas, wondering what their relationship was.Only Lucas was unhappy about the situation; he had never been carrie

No matter how resistant Lucas was to the idea of Jeremy carrying him again, he did not dare to disobey Corinne's order. Thus, he resigned to his fate and let Jeremy carry him out of the car.Once they reached the floor where Lucas' apartment was, Jeremy put him down so he could open the door. After keying in the passcode, Jeremy stepped forward to support him, but Lucas quickly waved him away, hopped into the apartment, and sat on the sofa.Jeremy and Corinne stayed outside the door, and they decided to leave once they saw Lucas made it safely inside."Since you two are here, why not stay for some drinks before leaving?" Lucas asked.Corinne was not interested in doing that. Though, she was worried about leaving Lucas alone as she was sure Lucas would try to walk the moment she would leave. Thus, she thought she might as well stay until Edmund came with the private nurse.She turned to Jeremy. "Mister, are you thirsty?"Jeremy knew what she was hinting at. He nodded, replying, "Y

After she calmed down, Corinne walked back and sat on the sofa hand-in-hand with Jeremy. "Mister Lucas, you don't even live here. Why would you keep a dog here?" she asked curiously.Lucas stroked Ralphy's head. "He's not mine."Corinne raised her eyebrow. "But he lives here.""A friend of mine went on an overseas trip and asked if Ralphy could stay in this apartment for the time being," explained Lucas patiently. "Someone will come every day to feed and walk him, while I'll drop by from time to time to make sure he's okay."To Corinne, Lucas was a person who had a very strong class consciousness. He would never do something that did not benefit him, so why would he agree to take care of his friend's dog?"Which friend is this? Is it a man or a woman?" asked Corinne curiously.Lucas was a little surprised Corinne would ask him those questions, but he smiled nonetheless. "So you're finally interested in my personal life?"Corinne frowned and twisted off the cap of her soda bottle

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
