Alex looked disheveled. Looking at his dispirited appearance, outsiders would feel sorry for him. If it was based on her past impression of him, even Sabrina would feel sorry for him.Even till now, Sabrina remembered the first time she met Alex. Back then, she was in Sebastian’s office, feeling as if her life was hanging in the balance, as if she would be killed by him in the next second. She had no chance to even think about her job or career. However, when she was lost and dispirited, Alex had told her warmly, “You can have your own career, you can do the job that you like. Since you like the construction industry, you can work toward that.”That encounter alone left Sabrina with a good impression of Alex. Later, when she met his female companion, Sabrina loved how Jane was warm. Sabrina had hardly met a woman as gentle, elegant, harmless, and humble as Jane. But a woman like her was chased out by him, even after accompanying him for so many years! At this moment, Sabrina wished
He regretted his words so much, he almost bit off his tongue. He was only speaking from the angle of the Poole family that he forgot the interweaving relationships between the characters present. At that moment, Ryan immediately remembered that Aunt Sabrina, Yvonne, and Ruth were best friends with his temporary aunt. He admitted in a slight stutter. “That…that woman, she…she was having her fun outside.” Sabrina asked again, “Is she engaged to your uncle?”“N…no.” “How many years have they not met each other!”“Almost…almost ten years…”Sabrina couldn’t help herself and snorted. “Then how is that woman your rightful aunt! Answer me!”Ryan’s knees buckled underneath the pressure. “Aunt…Aunt Sabrina, it’s all my fault. From now on, I’m in charge of finding my aunt, my real, rightful aunt. And I’m in charge of keeping an eye on the aunt that just came home. I…can I pay for my sins this way, Aunt Sabrina?”“Get out!”“Oh, yes, Ma’am!” Ryan turned and headed out the door. Two ste
Sabrina immediately stood up in shock.Tears of agitation flowed out of her eyes. “Jane, Jane, where are you? How have you been? I already know you broke up with Alex, but where did you go? Where are you staying? Can I come and see you now?” The moment she received Jane’s call, the scene that popped up in Sabrina’s mind was the bottle of water that Jane handed to her when she was at her most lost and awkward, and also Jane’s exceptionally warm smile. Jane laughed softly and said, “I’m doing quite well, Sabrina. I’m full…” The words ‘I’m full’ made her seem extremely happy and peaceful. But to Sabrina’s ears, they sounded like bitter drops of pain. What had happened to her for the past two weeks, to reduce her expectations toward life by such a big margin, so that she would be happy as long as she was full. Having a full tummy was her biggest happiness? Sabrina burst out in tears. “Jane…” Before she could start speaking, her phone was suddenly snatched away by Alex. “Jane…”
Jane laughed pitifully. “It’s all because I was greedy, I should not have coveted her million or so dollars…”“But she even hit you! And wanted to kill you?”Jane replied, “Yeah, if a kind man living on the mountain didn’t save me, I might have died on top of the mountain last night.”“Damn it, sh*t!” Sabrina suddenly cursed in fury. However, Jane’s laugh sounded relieved. “It’s fine Sabrina, I’m doing quite well now. My belly is full, and I’m not cold either, it’s just that I haven’t seen you in two weeks, and I suddenly wondered how’s the problem you were facing? Did I get you into trouble for causing havoc at the hospital? How are you?” “I’m good, Jane. The problem has been resolved, thank you for your concern. Where are you? Should I go pick you up?” Sabrina asked in concern. “No, you don’t have to, uhm…Mr. Poole, he…didn’t ask me to repay my debt to him?” Jane asked again worriedly. The moment the words left her mouth, once again, Alex snatched the phone out of Sabrina’
With that, Jane looked at the old lady who took care of her throughout the night, and called out to her in a gentle voice. “Ma’am, thank you. Initially, I planned to stay here for some time, to take care of the both of us and repay your kindness. But now, someone is after me, so I have to go. I will repay your great kindness in the future.”The old lady cried until her vision was blurred. “Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives.”Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, “Why not I’ll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?” Jane looked at him. “…Noah, what…what do you mean?”Honest Noah said, “I can tell from your accent you’re not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern acc
Later on, he heard that he could make a lot of money working in the South, so Noah considered going to the metropolitan city of South City to work. But what about his mother? Later, Noah devised a plan. An honest neighbor of his would take care of his mother. Once he found a job, he would send money home, paying a portion of it to his neighbor as their fees for taking care of his mother. Noah was a hard-working, steady, and intelligent man. Not long after he arrived in the big city in South City, he successfully landed himself a job. However, it was a job in a clothing factory. And it was a position as a seamstress. Not many men held this position, it was mainly a woman’s job, men found it embarrassing. But Noah did not have time to think about all this, he wanted to earn money in the shortest time possible, so he could send money home to support his mother. Within a year, Noah had earned more than ten thousand dollars from his job in the clothing factory. He only saved two thous
Noah was stunned. Him! A young man from a small farming village like him, without any talent whatsoever. A young man like him who had been working in a clothing factory for four years, somewhere most men were not willing to work at. He could not believe that his boss had chosen him. But Noah was not excited. He was born a kind and calm man. “Boss, what skills do I possess, for you to choose me as your son-in-law?” His boss was a straightforward man too. “I read your writing, your handwriting is beautiful. I also read the work manual that you logged. Once, when your team leader took leave and went home, you acted as the team leader. You kept track of everyone’s working hours and managed the team well, you’re talented.” Noah was silent.“If I’m not mistaken, you’re a high school graduate, right?” His boss continued asking.Noah nodded. “Yes, boss.” “Your family was too poor, they couldn’t afford to support you. That’s why you quit school?” His boss was a smart man indeed, he c
This time, his mother was waiting for him there and picked up the moment he called. Hearing Noah’s news, his mother was delighted too. She said in a very open-minded fashion, “What do you mean maintaining the family bloodlines? Any child that is born to you is yours. Even if the child does not take the Hill family name, in the future he would still have to address me as his grandmother, am I right?” Noah laughed. “Mother, I am glad that you’re so open-minded. Once we get married, I’ll bring you here to live with us. Then you’ll be a true city woman.”On the other end, his mother laughed so hard she could hardly close her mouth. “Good, good. Finally, my days of suffering are over. I can start to enjoy life now.”Just like that, a week after the discussion between mother and son, Noah gave his boss his answer. He agreed to the marriage. He did not feel as if he had won the lottery, now that he would not have to struggle as hard as his peers. He maintained his calm and humble atti
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
