She came off of the bed slowly, as though she was stuck in a bad dream. Was the world really that cruel to her?Noah went toward her and asked, "What's wrong, Jane?""If we can never have children of our own, will… will you still marry me?""Aren’t you already pregnant? Why will we not have our own children?" He paused for a moment before adding, "I'm fertile. I’ve had a son before, so I'm fertile."With tears in her eyes, she looked at Noah. "But I… If I get rid of the baby inside right now, I will never be able to get pregnant again.""Then don't get rid of it!" he said without hesitation. "No matter what, this child is still yours. You can't be this cruel as its mother. I don't mind. The child wouldn't know its actual father, so it's still going to see me as its father in the end."“…” "You know what they say; kids are closer to the ones that raised them, not the ones that gave them lives. Don't worry, this child will be raised as our own." He then held Jane by the arm and h
It did not take him long before he found a car within the circumstances. Half an hour later, the private vehicle drove out of the town with Jane in it and went straight toward the mountains where Noah called home. Half an hour later, Alex's subordinates arrived at the hospital. Without Alex's order, they would not disrupt the operation of the hospital.The leading man of the crew called Alex and said, "Master Alex, we are already outside the hospital. It's completely surrounded by our men.""Okay. Search through the wards one by one. Do not cause any trouble to the patients or the doctors. I will get on a bullet train right now and will be there in a few hours." After Alex hung up, he turned to bid farewell to Sebastian and Sabrina. "I'm afraid I won't be able to go visit Auntie with you guys tomorrow."With that, he turned around and left. Not more than just an hour ago, he looked as though he had given up on life, and now it was almost like he was fully prepared to walk onto a bat
The next morning, the sun shone bright. Both Sabrina and Sebastian had a good night's sleep, mainly because they were exhausted from executing Aino's plan. So, the next time they opened their eyes, it was already nine o’clock in the morning."Jesus! We were supposed to be going to Mom's! We woke up late!" they said as the two hurried their way to wash up and get dressed before they rushed out of the bedroom. Before they reached the living room, they could already hear the sound of someone giggling."Aunt Yvonne, you look so pretty today," Aino praised Yvonne in a sweet voice.Sabrina was shocked. Was Yvonne here? She then heard Kingston's voice."The little princess is much prettier than Aunt Yvonne," he shouted."Bro! You are spoiling Aino too much!""Why don't you think for a second about who I get my salary from?" Kingston deadpanned."...""Hehehe…" Aino chuckled.Suddenly, Kingston changed the subject and asked, "Aino, why is your daddy and mommy so lazy? They still haven
She paused for a minute before saying, "Yvonne, Marcus has always been a man of virtue so far, don't…”Yvonne sighed. "Sure he is, but that grandfather of his! I just… That old geezer is all about righteousness and saying what it takes to be a bad person; but to say that he is a good person… He did far too many unforgivable things. That's not even what is most important; what's most important is that he has a sense of superiority in regards to social class. His main value is that someone he hates has to be wrong, even if that person has saved him once before! Even when that someone is just a three-year-old child who is his own flesh and blood, as long as he doesn't take a liking to that person, he will label them as someone horrible. Frankly, an old man like that is just terrifying. Isn't that exactly why you don't want to acknowledge him as family, Sabrina? What gives him the right to determine if someone is a good person, and suppress and humiliate that person over and over again wh
The woman who followed Marcus out of his car was Lily.Seeing that Aino was screaming at Lily, Marcus instantly scolded her gently, "Aino, you shouldn't be so rude, okay? This is your Uncle Alex's fiancee."All five of them, including Aino, Yvonne, Sabrina, Sebastian, and Kingston, were instantly rendered speechless.Another car stopped behind them and the two that came out were Ryan and Ruth. Ruth was different from Yvonne. She had lost her home ever since she broke ties with her parents. Although she was also Marcus's cousin and the Shaws had asked that she come to live with them countless times, she still preferred to stay with Ryan instead of going to live with the Shaw family because she felt uncomfortable around them. When she saw that Sabrina refused to acknowledge her own grandfather, Ruth felt even more reluctant to cross paths with her aunt. Therefore, whenever Ryan would stay in South City, Ruth would go to stay with him instead.At the time, both Ruth and Ryan were dumb
Ever since then, Ryan had intentionally been avoiding Lily.However, he also realized, Alex truly did not feelings for Lily anymore‘Ten years!‘Whose feelings could be stored for ten years without deterioration?‘You gotta be kidding!‘The person who had watched over Uncle Alex, keeping him company, and helping to relieve his worries was Aunt Jane, alright?’The young couple, Ryan and Ruth, had set a rule at home that they would ignore Lily from now on!However, at this moment, when they saw that Marcus had actually brought Lily here, both Ryan and Ruth’s jaws almost dropped.Both of them looked at Sabrina, Yvonne, Aino, Sebastian, and Kingston at the same time. The six of them had a mutual understanding in their hearts and altogether did not say anything.They just waited to see what Lily and Marcus were going to say. Marcus’ expression was rather natural. He looked at Sabrina. “Sabrina, there are some gifts that I bought for Aunt Gloria in the car, as well as ingredient
Lily was used to being domineering.She could never get rid of this shortcoming of hers.She had never thought of getting rid of it either.That was because the joy of being disdainful and being seen as domineering and acting however she pleased was something others could never experience. Previously when she was abroad, no matter where she was, even if she was alone, she could always be this domineering. She would often defeat those local thugs, who arrogantly assumed they were forces to be reckoned with, within seconds, so much so that they would kneel before her and call her a queen. That kind of feeling was indescribably wonderful for Lily.However, within just a few days since she had returned to the country, she was beaten up by Aino, Ruth, and Yvonne. Lily had to get back at them right at this moment for that kind of humiliation she had gotten.Lily’s slap landed directly on one of the young men’s faces. She wanted the effect of shocking the young man and making him s
At this moment, Lily wanted to ask Sebastian, Marcus, and Ryan for help, but she could not speak because she was dizzy from being spun around.It was until the two young men had finished their street dance collaboration that they tossed Lily to the ground. Lily only felt light-headed.The first young man condescendingly said to Lily, “I have lived for eighteen years, but this is my first time meeting such an arrogant old woman as you! You truly are a very nasty woman! You actually openly teased us, who are still minors! We’ll send you to the police station today!”Lily, who had just managed to stand properly after adjusting herself for a while, threw up so badly that the stuff from inside her guts also came out. Lily threw up for such a long time that she even threw up her bile in the end, but she still did not want to let it go. She raised her furious gaze and looked at those two young men. “How dare you? Do you know who I am? Or you don’t want to live anymore?”One of the you
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
