Inside a car heading for the countryside, Anya weepily whined, "Look at what you've done, Mom! It's all over now! We'll be sent to the countryside!"Phoebe had been in a bad mood. Her composure crumbled even more when she heard her daughter blaming her. "I don't care if other people blame me, but I can't take it if it's from you! I've done all this for one person, and one person only—and that's you, Anya!"Anya was in no mood to understand her mother anymore. She grumbled, "I know you were doing it for me, but you didn't help me at all! You just made my life worse than before! Had we admitted our mistakes in front of Grandpa and Grandma to show we've repented, they might just give us another chance instead of banishing us to the countryside!"Phoebe felt hurt by her daughter's anger. "Oh, so you're blaming me now? You didn't admit your mistakes quickly enough either! Besides, how are we supposed to admit our mistakes in that situation? Admitting is as good as setting it in stone. Th

Anya looked at Joey after hearing what Phoebe said. She looked at Joey before exchanging glances with Phoebe in tacit understanding.Anya shifted her position and sat next to Joey in the back row.Joey had been silent throughout the journey. He cowered to one side as soon as he saw Anya approach him. Anya's presence left him fearful.Anya secretly reached out to Joey and pinched his arm fiercely. When she heard Joey scream in pain, she asked loudly, "Joey! Is something wrong?" She then placed her hand on Joey's forehead and acted as if she was worried. "What?! His body temperature is so high!"Phoebe played along and said, "What happened? Does he have a fever?"Anya nodded. "He does! He's having a fever! What should we do, Mom?"Phoebe leveraged the situation to their advantage and said, "What else can we do? We need to go to a hospital, and fast! Joey has a fever! We need to send him to the hospital!"The servants were hesitant.Phoebe frowned and lashed out at them. "Joey is

Initially, Anya was rather worried about their next plan if they went to a hotel. After all, the hotel's check-in record would make it easier for them to be located. If they were found, they would go back to square one.At that moment, Joey was crying softly in her arms. He had no idea what was going on, but he felt a sense of panic when things happened in such a rush. He did not dare to cry too violently anymore and could only do his best not to keep quiet.However, Anya could still hear his muffled cries since she was holding him.Ever since she found out that he was of no use to her, she viewed him as a burden. She showed neither patience nor love for him. "Stop crying! It's annoying!"Joey had no idea what he did wrong. He looked at her uneasily and tried to talk to her, "Mom, Mom..."Anya shot back in disgust, "Don't call me 'Mom'! I'm not your mother! You're lucky I'm still doing the bare minimum to take care of you instead of abandoning you. Don't make life difficult for me

Anya's pupils dilated. 'Why would Lucas risk his life to protect Corinne? Something's not right!'Anya's prolonged silence prompted Rosie to say, "Why aren't you saying anything, Anya? You need to help me! If Jeremy takes it up with me, my family will be done for!"Anya snapped back to her senses. "It's not that I don't want to help you, Rosie. I just can't help you right now."Rosie was puzzled. "What do you mean, you can't help me? Aren't you supposed to be Jeremy's savior? Jeremy will always listen to you if you say something to him!"Anya sighed and sobbed aggrievedly. "A lot of things have happened recently that you don't know about. Jeremy doesn't think that I'm his savior anymore, and he won't ever listen to me anymore.""What?" Rosie exclaimed in shock. "How did that happen? We all know that you risked your life to save Jeremy and became infertile because of that. Is Jeremy going to just abandon you like that? He's not supposed to be that kind of person!"Anya sobbed. "It

Phoebe uttered in surprise, "Lucas had a car accident? What happened? If I remember correctly, he didn't come home yesterday. Was it because of the accident?"Anya narrowed her eyes slyly. "I believe so. He probably didn't go home because he was worried Grandpa and Grandma would be worried about it."Phoebe did not have any familial bonds with her stepson, Lucas. He never respected her since young anyway, so she could care less if he died in a car accident. In fact, she would be even happier if the accident cost him his life!Lucas's death was the only way Sunny would become the Riveras' heir. She would no longer have to bow to the Riveras if that was the case.Anya was not concerned about Lucas's well-being either. She knew from a young age he only loved her because he saw Luna in her. She even had to work hard to receive that sort of affection from him!At that moment, a thought occurred to Anya."Do you know how Lucas got into a car accident?"Phoebe did not care at all. "It
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 996
Anya said firmly, "This is the only logical explanation. I can find no other reason why Lucas would care so much about her! And don't you think Dad looks at Corinne differently now? Didn't you notice something unusual about his tone whenever he spoke to her?"Phoebe felt a wave of fear when she recalled Maxwell's reaction upon laying eyes on Corinne. "If that's true, it's all the more reason to kill Corinne!"A ruthless expression appeared briefly in Anya's eyes. "That's for sure, but we can't be the ones to do it.""Then who's going to help us?""I've arranged for someone to deal with Corinne. Let's just wait and see what happens."Phoebe glanced curiously at Anya. "Who is it?"Anya said, "You'll find out if she succeeds."Phoebe believed her daughter would not assign such an important task to an unreliable person. She did not ask any further and merely said, "Okay, Anya. Let's eat. Tell your adopted son to eat something too. He ignores me when I talk to him, and he refuses to

Corinne looked at Cedric's and Beatrice's kind appearance and recalled the disgust in their voices when she overheard them talking about Emily, her mother. Deep down, she viewed their comforting words to her with disdain. They probably would not be so kind to her if they knew she was the child of their former daughter-in-law.Corinne withdrew her hand casually and smiled. "Thank you both for trusting me."The punishment they gave Phoebe and Anya could hardly be called punishment. All they did was send them to the countryside summer home. 'What kind of punishment is that? It's more like a vacation to me!' All the comforts of life were provided there, and food was provided too. The most that Phoebe and Anya would suffer from was loneliness if they stayed there too long.It was a far cry from the punishment the Riveras inflicted on her mother!Corinne was smiling politely, but her gaze had hardened with bitterness. "By the way, there is one more thing I'd like to discuss with you two.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 998
Maxwell asked in surprise, "Are you saying you don't mind Jeremy taking in the child Anya adopted?"Corinne glanced at Maxwell. "Even if I did, it's already too late. Joey has been adopted, and someone has to take care of him. An innocent child like him shouldn't be allowed to suffer."Maxwell looked at her admiringly. Most women would not be so kind as to accept a child her husband adopted with another woman.At that moment, the Riveras' butler rushed over in a hurry and whispered something in Cedric's ear. Cedric's face soured at once. "How did that happen?! Get someone to start looking for them!"The butler nodded and turned around to leave.Cedric looked at Corinne confusedly and said, "You should go back home and rest. We'll give your proposal some thought and let you know once we've made our decision."Corinne nodded. "I'll excuse myself, then. I hope to hear from you soon."She then got up and politely bid them goodbye before preparing to leave.Maxwell stood up and said

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
