He laughed lightly and said to Sabrina, “Madam, do you still remember that you had given me a small hand warmer six years ago?”Sabrina asked in confusion, “Why would you suddenly think of this? It was just hand warmer, it’s not worth mentioning.”Kingston shook his head. “No! Madam, the hand warmer that you had given me had warmed my heart for a lifetime. Therefore, Madam, please don’t worry. If Old Master Shaw were to exhaust all the ways to let you save Selene again, I, Kingston Yates, will show him no mercy!”Sabrina was speechless. After a while, she said, “Thank you, Kingston.”“Madam, get in the car. We’ll send the little princess to the kindergarten first,” said Kingston. “Alright.”After dropping Aino at the kindergarten, Sabrina made a call to Sebastian. “Sebastian, Dad…how is he?”On that end, Sebastian said, “He’s fine.”“Then should I…pay him a visit?” Sabrina asked cautiously again.Sebastian comforted her. “It doesn’t matter. You can come if you want t
Sabrina nodded hesitantly. "Did...did I do something wrong?"She was instantly overwhelmed by a feeling like something horrible was about to happen. Nine years ago, this was exactly how she had been taken away out of the blue when she was in her second year of college."It's still about the case nine years ago. The family of the victim has found you and intends on pressing charges again."Sabrina stayed silent."That's her! That's her! God damn it, it took me and my son so long to hunt you down! You man-stealing vixen, you wronged us and now you want to shift the blame?" A mid-aged woman roared at her.Sabrina was stunned, as she recognized the woman. It was the same middle-aged woman who clawed at her car door to take one look at her before leaving."Why you...!" At that moment, she was so furious that she was struggling to get words out."Nine years ago, you insisted that my man destroyed you, but he is such a good and honest man. He was old enough to be your father and we hav
If this was any other time, her father-in-law Sean would have never come, neither would he dare to lash out at his son. But today, Sean had been fierce from the moment he showed up and Sabrina was confused as to what was happening to her father-in-law. However, whatever baffled her had now made sense. She thought back to the scene where her father-in-law puked blood before passing out that morning, could it be that he was faking it as well? They had been aiming to lead Sebastian away. She finally understood, this was a diversion, just like how one would lure a tiger away from the mountain.She couldn't hold back her tears. What had she done wrong, for them to endlessly seek for her to repay over and over again! She had always been a child who was excellent in her studies while remaining modest. Her parents had been dutiful for their entire lives but what did they get in return? Her father died of illness, her mother had been imprisoned and was missing, while she was framed and sent in
The old Master chuckled. His tone was calm as though he had everything under control, which was also his way of showing his contempt to Sabrina. "I wouldn't have succeeded if I had nothing on you. Where there's smoke, there's a fire. You have to have weaknesses for this to work."She looked over at Lincoln and questioned, "You...are my dad, right? Biologically speaking?""I don't have a daughter as despicable as you," he responded fiercely."All these, just so you can save your lovely daughter laying in the hospital?" she mumbled."Shouldn't you save her?" Lincoln roared. "Both of you have the same blood coursing through your veins, and yet you plan on watching her die! How did I become a father to such a cold-blooded monster like you?"Cold-blooded monster!" Sabrina muttered to herself. She lifted her head to gaze at the sky above, trying to blink back her tears. She looked back to the old Master Shaw and said, "now I truly believe what you said before.""About what?" he asked,
"I agree! With no cost or conditions!" she answered decisively."Too bad, it's too late now!" The ruthlessness in the old Master Shaw's words made Sabrina feel as though she was suffocating. His tone became increasingly cold and merciless as he continued, "Why would I settle with one of your kidneys, when I can have both?"She swallowed. "Is there no room for negotiation?""I'm sorry, but you are in no place to negotiate with me!"Sabrina chewed on her lips as tears scrolled down her face despite all her effort of holding them back. She was biting down so hard that she was close to drawing blood. Once again, she was pushed to the edge of a mental breakdown at the old Master Shaw merciless ways and roared, "come on then! Kill me! Lincoln Lynn, I, Sabrina Scott, will haunt you for life even after my death! You were the one who fathered me, I didn't ask to be born into this world, why do you have to treat me and my mother like that? Did you even fulfill your duty to us even for a day
The roar had stunned everyone at the scene, startling every single person for how hoarse and rough the sound that erupted from the crowd was. It sounded as though it was coming from a beast that was ready to fight for its life. Followed by the voice, a person found her way out of the crowd. The figure barely looked human. The figure that darted out had no resemblance to humans nor phantoms. The clothes on her were ragged and tainted to the point that one could barely tell its original color. The clothes were filled with patches, leaving little to no space on the fabric that was untouched. The person was holding a long, thick wood stick and stood before Sabrina. Because of the close proximity, Sabrina was able to see everything about the person. Her hair was all tangled up in little knots of dirt and soil, covering half of her face and showing only her two hazy eyes, which were glaring at the old Master Shaw."Shaw, you try touching a hair on my daughter and I will tear your granddaugh
"I didn't know whose child it was in my belly. I was finally out of jail, but I had no money and no place to go. I went back to the Lynn Family in search of justice. I confronted Lincoln Lynn as to why he lied to me and refused to save your life. He told me that he tried but you didn't make it through, and told me that he buried you back in our hometown. I wanted to go back but I didn't have any money on me. I had an unborn child on the way and I couldn't go back.""I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you have been alive all this time. I thought you were dead, I thought that you were buried by my father. I was desperate to earn some cash, just enough for me to travel back to our hometown, but then I was hunted down by the Lynns. I hid for six whole years out there, but no matter where I ran to, Lincoln and Jade could always find me. I had no choice but to hide my identity and move around, and then...""Half a year ago, the father of my child found me, and we finally managed
Marcus approached the stray woman as he called her his aunt. The woman froze and turned her hazy eyes to Marcus. The tears from her eyes flowed down her cheeks, washing the dirt away as they went. She looked at Marcus with blood-like tears falling from those eyes. In a hoarse voice, she asked, "Young man, what...did you just call me?"Marcus stepped forward and held the woman's hands in excitement. "Auntie, you are my aunt, right? You are not the child of my step-grandmother, but my actual grandmother. You are my aunt by blood."His speech was unorganized due to his frantic state. "But auntie, you were raised by my step-grandmother. The two of you were forced to move away from the Shaw residence and lived in a small house. In the year you turned eighteen, my step-grandmother told my grandfather that you are actually my grandmother's child. My step-grandmother, she was an incredibly talented person. I still keep her drawings with me till this day..." Marcus studied his aunt's expressi
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
