Corinne's finger hovered above the red 'End Call' icon. "Tell me who you are. If you have something to say to me, say it now."The caller said, "I'm right here! Just look left, and you'll know who I am!"Corinne turned her head slightly to the left and saw a figure waving at her from a small alley.It was Rosie, whom she had not seen for a long time.She could not recognize Rosie's voice as she used a voice changer during the call. A device like that was unnecessary if Rosie came with good intentions, so it was quite obvious she was up to no good.Corinne glanced vigilantly and chuckled. "Ah, it's you, Miss Rosie. Why are you skulking there instead of approaching me? Does trying to be mysterious excite you or something?"Rosie stood at the entrance of the alley and said, "I do have something to talk to you about, Corinne. Come here and chat with me."Corinne was not going to let herself be fooled. She smiled politely and said, "No thanks. I'm already at the gate of the Holdens,

'Corinne has a friend over?' It was only then Pamela noticed someone standing anxiously behind Corinne."Oh, it's Rosie!"Rosie knew Pamela and Greg. However, she could not help but feel guilty when she saw them since Jeremy's men were looking for her all over the place."Grandpa Greg, Grandma Pamela, it's been a while. How have you two been doing?""We're both doing really well," answered Pamela with a smile. "Corinne, why don't you and Rosie head up now? I'll get the servant to deliver your food upstairs after they've heated them.""Okay. Thanks, Grandma Pamela," said Corinne with a polite smile.After that, she and Rosie went up to her room.Greg scoffed. "How rude of her. Why can't she and her friend eat with us at the table? Is she worried we'll hear something we shouldn't have? She must be hiding something from us!"Pamela threw him a warning glance. "Corinne is our granddaughter-in-law and this is her home too, so she has the right to do whatever she feels comfortable wi

"You said it'd be awkward to talk if Grandpa Greg and Grandma Pamela were in the room. You wanted to tell me something, didn't you? This room has the best soundproof wall, so feel free to say anything."'This room has the best soundproof wall? Don't tell me it's 'cause they want to prevent the others from hearing what they're doing at night. Oh my god, she's such a shameless showoff!' thought Rosie.Rosie could never be more wrong in interpreting Corinne's response. Nonetheless, Corinne continued happily eating her meal.Rosie crossed her arms and looked at her with disgust. "Corinne, are you pregnant?"Corinne's fork paused mid-air before she smiled. "Yeah, I am."Rosie frowned. "Does Jeremy know about it? What about his grandparents?""Of course Jeremy knows about it, though his grandparents probably still don't know. We haven't announced the pregnancy yet 'cause we didn't want them making a fuss about it."Rosie looked at her in disbelief and scoffed. "You're the most shamele

Corinne found Rosie's answer so hilarious that she spurted out all the water in her mouth."Pfft! Ack, ack, ack!"The water splashed all over Rosie's face, which made her scream. "Argh! What are you doing?"Corinne wiped her mouth with a tissue before pulling out another one for Rosie. "Sorry about that. I never expected Anya to tell you that!" she chuckled.Rosie snatched the tissue from her hand and wiped away the water on her face with disgust. "Well, she only tells me the truth. What else could she say?"Corinne smirked. She was curious to find out what other outrageous tales Anya told Rosie."Did she tell you how I got pregnant with Lucas' baby?"Rosie seemed to get even madder at the mention of that. She had worshiped Lucas since she was little. He was the only man she ever wanted to marry, so she could not stand the thought of him being defiled by the woman she hated the most in the world."I can't believe you're asking me that! The only way you could've gotten pregnant
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1004
Rosie frowned. "Just what on earth are you talking about, Corinne? How did Anya use me? You have no right to speak badly about her!"Corinne willed herself to stop laughing. She then sipped her water before saying, "Miss Rosie, have you noticed Anya had been using the same method to get her way over the years? She'll always get someone else to do the dirty work for her. The only thing she needs to get you to do her bidding is to shed a few tears and play the victim card. No matter what happens in the end, she's always the most innocent party in the whole matter."Rosie would never believe her best friend was the type of person Corinne said she was. "But she is innocent! She's the kindest person I know. She couldn't even bear to step on an ant, so how can you imply she's manipulative?"Besides, the others and I protect her out of our own accord. She didn't force us to do it. I bet you're just jealous that many people love her. Stop making Anya look bad to me. I'll never fall for your
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1005
"But then I got to know about Anya's existence. After that, I realized every time you came to cause trouble for me, it was because of Anya. She's good at taking advantage of other people's love for her to make them do her bidding. Also, I'm guessing she told you she'll put in a good word for you to Lucas so you and him will marry, and that you're the only sister-in-law she'll ever accept?"Rosie stepped back. "How… How did you know?"Corinne smiled. "It's obvious you like Lucas, so she used that to her advantage. That's why she lied to you, saying he's the father of the baby I'm carrying. She was hoping by doing so, you'd get rid of me in a fit of jealousy."Through Corinne's explanation, everything started to make sense to Rosie. However, the truth was not always pretty, so she found herself on the edge of breaking down."A… Anya has…been using me all this time?"Anya was Rosie's best friend. They grew up together and would even wear the same outfits every day. Not only that, but

"Miss Rosie, you don't look too well. Should I ask my driver to give you a ride?" asked Corinne. She was not worried about Rosie since she used to hurt her. She just did not want the Holdens to get into trouble should anything happen to Rosie on her way to Anya's house.Holden Group's share price needed some time to recover to its previous height, and it was best not to let another scandal happen to throw a wrench into the whole thing again.Rosie waved her hand and shook her head determinedly. "No, leave me alone. I can get to Anya's house by myself."She did not dare to ride in the Holdens' car as Jeremy had put a hit on her. News must not have reached the mansion yet since no one tried to capture her yet. However, what if the driver accidentally reported her to Jeremy, and he asked the driver to drive her to Holden Group? She would not be able to get away then.Thus, Rosie insisted on leaving alone.She opened the door and was about to step out when she suddenly turned. "Corinn

"Actually, I'd much prefer it if Corinne is the one to see me off," said Rosie.Corinne stopped walking and looked at her.Francine frowned. "You don't want me to see you off, Rosie?"Rosie shook her head. "No, it's not that. It's just I remembered I have something to tell Corinne, and it's not something a kid like you should hear."Francine's cheeks puffed in anger. "Rosie, I'm not a kid anymore! I'm an adult!"Rosie smiled helplessly, but she did not say anything else to her. Instead, she looked at Corinne and said sincerely, "Corinne, can you please see me off? I remembered I have something to tell you. It's about Jeremy…"Corinne narrowed her eyes. After thinking it over, she finally nodded. "Okay."Thus, the two of them walked toward the entrance.'I wonder what she has to say to me…' thought Corinne. 'There's a chance she might tell me something important now that she knows Anya's true colors.'Francine secretly followed them out.After a few steps, Rosie noticed Franci

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
