Kelvin said, “I’m at the border, so I would probably get news slightly sooner compared to all of you. Recently, an extremely crazy maniac has appeared in a few countries in Eastern Osone.”Sebastian was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean?”“The few countries that this maniac had appeared in was our gathering place abroad. A third of our fortune and properties are in those areas. Somehow, this d*mned reckless guy appeared in those areas recently.” Kelvin’s tone revealed his concerns.Sebastian did not say anything. He was waiting for Kelvin to continue. Kelvin sighed. “This maniac is not that young. I heard from people who have seen him that he is more than thirty years old. He is very skilled, but he also doesn’t burn, kill, or harm the poor there; he just robs!“He blatantly robs. If you have seen the way he robs, you will think that he doesn’t take his life seriously.“There is also another crucial piece of news. He only robs the rich in Sebastian’s business territories.
Sebastian was a man with a vicious nature who has never talked about his feelings. He also had rarely spoken about his mother’s past with his few best friends, who were like his actual brothers. However, at this moment, Sebastian was talking about it with incomparable sadness. “My mother had just graduated from college at that time and had just lost both her parents. Right when she needed affection and care in this world, my father appeared. My mother then easily fell in love with him. Since then, her love for him lasted a lifetime, and had never changed.”What Sebastian just said made the three other men present silent. Sebastian continued, “However, my father had never had the intention of marrying my mother. The reason he had this kind of relationship with my mother was that it was part of the plan for the Ford family to make a fortune on Star Island. My stepmother was also involved in this plan. “Therefore, although my stepmother had planned to let my father invest in a re
Among Sebastian's best friends, Alex was the one who had come to South City the most often. Alex also went to Sebastian’s company very often, so at this moment, Alex was the first to react. He immediately called out, “Mr. Ford… Mr. Ford, what… What brings you here?”Hearing Alex saying this, the other two people instantly regained their senses.Kelvin and Martin called out in unison, “Hello, Mr Ford! How are you?”No matter how much Sebastian disliked his own father, that was still his father after all.Therefore, Sebastian’s three best friends had always been courteous every time they met Sean.Sean’s face had an angry expression, and his tone also had an unconcealable rage. “Sebastian! I know you have been very busy these days! You have been busy taking care of your newly found mother-in-law! Busy taking care of your mother-in-law and also Sabrina’s emotions! But don’t you forget that you still have a father and also a stepmother! No matter how badly your stepmother and I trea
In the end, Sean directly pointed out that the reason he had been threatened twice by the same person was entirely Sabrina’s fault. Sean looked at his own son confidently as he believed what he said was justified.At this moment, Sebastian, who was cold and calm as usual, was so angered by his own father that he almost laughed!“Dad!” The words he shouted were very harsh. “When you’re commenting on Sabrina, first consider what kind behavior you have had in your life!”“No matter what kind of behavior I have had, is it your place, as a son, to question me, as your father?” Sean was indeed annoyed.In the past one month, he fell ill, and his son left after sending him to the hospital. Since then, his son had not come to visit him.In the past one month, he and his wife, Rose, had already been attacked by the same man twice. That man even straightforwardly told them not to harass Sabrina.Also, it was very strange that that man seemed to be very familiar with him and his wife. Tha
Sebastain was suddenly stunned. He then subconsciously asked, “What does he look like?”The manager described in a panic, “Skinny and tall, has a pair of shades…” The few of them looked at each other, then went down at the same time. When they came downstairs, they saw that there were a couple of people at a corner of the place, and they were all beaten to the ground. Some had blood flowing from the corner of their mouths, and some had swollen eyes from being beaten.There was also a person who had a piece of skin on his hand scraped off.“Where is the troublemaker from just now?” asked the manager while helping one of the waiters up.The waiter said weakly, “Ran… Ran away.”The manager was speechless. That person struck too quickly. The few waiters could not see clearly at all. Also, that person did not dawdle at all. With just a few swift moves, he had beaten them up, then turned around and left. Sebastian asked with a deep voice, “That person… Why did he beat all of you u
Kevin was speechless. After a few moments, only then did he ask, “You…Alex, what’s the matter with you?”“My wife is missing! My wife is missing! She is even pregnant with my child, but she is missing!” Alex was already at the brink of bursting out in tears. He had been in a mess for the past few days. He only barely got his spirits up slightly today. It was also because he had figured that he would have to fight a long battle in the future. He has to use his whole life to find his wife and child. Therefore, he could not let himself be in a mess any further.There was also another reason he was feeling better. It was because his two best friends had travelled a long distance to South City to keep him company. However, Alex did not expect that both Kelvin and Martin were here for Sebastian’s matter. At this moment, the incredibly vulnerable Alex was particularly hoping that both his best friends could console him.It was unexpected that Kelvin suddenly said, “You deserved it!”
The four men looked towards the door at the same time, and they saw a gentle and elegant woman walking, holding a child by the hand. “Sebastian.” Sabrina smiled. “I thought I could come here earlier after picking Aino up, but I was caught up with some things at the kindergarten, so I came late.”Sabrina had agreed with Sebastian that he would come to the clubhouse first, and Sabrina would come later after she had picked Aino up after work. Though she had gone straight to the kindergarten after work, she was still slightly late and just so happened to be caught in the peak period of everybody picking up their children. Sabrina was then surrounded by a few parents.“Mrs Ford, I’ve not seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with lately?” Susan’s mother, Mrs Sear, was the most enthusiastic with Sabrina. She had always felt that she was very close to Sabrina. In fact, ever since Sabrina’s identity as Mrs Ford had been made known to the public, Sabrina had been doing her be
Perhaps, it was because she had once been hurt very deeply. Perhaps, it was because that was someone else’s matter, and she also had rarely seen this mother, so it was not convenient for Sabrina to comment on how other people behave.Just as she wanted to bring Aino away, that single mother suddenly pulled her crying daughter towards them.“I’m sorry, Mrs Sear. You have been talking behind my back all the time, and it indeed is a nasty behavior. I have already tolerated you a few times. Please change your habit. Also, I will never join your group.”Everyone was speechless. The woman smiled miserably again. “I know! You’re all wealthy housewives! You’re all rich people, and I, on the other hand, only have a darn thirty thousand dollars salary a month. My annual income may not be worth one of your designer bags. However, I don’t owe you anything. My daughter and I are living very well! Why should I accept your charity?”What she said made Mrs Sear angry. “How-how can you not dist
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
