“Aino! Aino!”Ruth and Yvonne were both stunned! Where did the child run off to? Sabrina immediately got up in shock and shouted anxiously in all directions, panicked.The people in the surroundings were all looking at Sabrina. “As a mother, she only knows about having fun at the mall, she didn’t even take good care of her own child,” someone muttered.Sabrina was so anxious that tears streamed down her cheeks. “Aino!”At this moment, Aino came running out from a specialty store, and she was holding a little girl’s hand.“Mom, what are you doing? Wasn’t I just in the specialty store behind you? I saw my classmate, Mom,” Aino called out. Sabrina was speechless. After a pause, she suddenly ran to Aino and squatted to hug Aino. Then, she smacked Aino on the bottom as hard as could. “You silly child! You worried me to death! If I don’t have you, I don’t want to live anymore. I wouldn’t be able to live anymore. Aino, why didn’t you tell me you went playing with your classmat
She called out to her child. “Jennifer Gibson, let’s go.”Then, she turned to Aino. “Aino, little child, you are welcome to play with Jennifer.”“Bye, Aunt Gibson. Bye, Jennifer.” Aino happily said goodbye to the woman and the child. The woman led her daughter by her hand and left without looking back.Sabrina called out. “Well, how do I address you?”The woman did not answer. Sabrina laughed calmly. “Truly a special woman. Looking at her, she reminded me of myself when I had just returned to South City again last year. I can relate to that kind of all-or-nothing, being unaccepted, but also an unyielding feeling in her heart.”“Pfft!” Ruth put her hand on her hips and rolled her eyes at Sabrina. “Ruth, your true colors are showing more now. No! You had once shown your true colors before. You were just like this when I first met you! Let me ask you, how did Jennifer’s mother offend you?”“She just did. What’s wrong with that? I just feel disgusted by looking at her! What’
“Grandma has fallen ill. She is laying in bed and refusing to let the doctor see her. She said that as long as Aino goes back, she will recover,” Sebastian explained calmly on the other end of the line. To be honest, he truly did not wish to go back to the old residence at all. He had never lived there before, so that was not home for him at all. As for his grandma, although she had never harmed him before, she had barely known him when he was growing up. His grandma knew how to conduct herself very well. She knew better at keeping a low profile and restraining herself in comparison to his grandpa, father and stepmother. Therefore, Sebastian disliked the old residence to his bones. However, the old lady had fallen ill and she missed Aino very much. If they did not bring Aino to see her, it would be inappropriate. Therefore, Sebastian had no choice but to call Sabrina.He did not expect that Sabrina would cry. “Sebastian, what did you say? Grandma…she is sick? Is her condition seve
“You shrewd!” Sabrina thoroughly saw the real Ruth. As expected of a shrewd. The little shrew who came from the marketplace was truly worthy of the name.“There’s also me! I’m a firecracker!” said Yvonne. Sabrina fumed. Sabrina truly has been keeping the wrong sort of company. She had never made friends in her life. Finally, there were two women who wanted to be close to her and form connections with her, so she agreed with much joy. She even became best friends with these two women. But who knew that she had attracted two reckless savages instead!Sabrina, feeling helpless, could only nod weakly. “Okay! Okay! You two shrewds and firecrackers!”Yvonne and Ruth burst out laughing so hard that they rocked their bodies back and forth. Ruth carried Aino in her arms. “Aino, Aino, I have finally defeated your mom, mm-hmm!”“The three of you are just alike,” Aino said irritably.Ruth laughed even more joyfully. “Aino is right! There are no differences between the three of us. We
The woman turned around and glanced at Sabrina coldly. “Such a coincidence. Fancy meeting you again.”Sabrina was dumbfounded. “Hey! You are wiping my husband’s shoes. Who asked you to wipe his shoes? You can get up already. Get up!”The woman sneered again. “Such a noble wife like you, don’t you think it’s very shameful and beneath my status for me to be squatting here and wiping someone’s shoes? I don’t think so. My daughter has dirtied this man’s shoes, so it’s necessary for me to clean it up for him.”Before Sabrina could retort, Sebastian said, “But I don’t think it’s necessary!”The woman raised her head and looked at Sebastian in surprise. Sebastian’s tone was even colder. “You can go now!”The woman looked down. “I’m sorry, it’s my daughter…”Sebastian sneered. “Woman! Your behavior is too greasy! Please stay further away from me, okay? It doesn’t matter if the child has dirtied my shoe, but your actions made me feel uncomfortable!”Sebastian was already consid
“Miss Quinton, what do you want to say?” Sabrina asked.Frost smiled. “Oh, oh, it’s my bad. I should have called you…Miss Lynn.”“My last name is not Lynn either,” said Sabrina.Frost raised her eyebrows. “Oh?”“My last name is Scott, Sabrina Scott.”“Oh, oh, oh, Sabrina Scott. Miss Scott…”Sabrina interrupted her. “May I know who you are to the Ford family?”Frost answered with no hesitation. “Housekeeper. In the Ford residence, I have always been the housekee-”Sabrina raised her hand and slapped Frost across her face. Frost stumbled backwards in surprise. “You-you’ve got some nerves now! Do you think you can slap me now that you’re Old Master Shaw’s granddaughter? You should know that when Selene was Old Master Shaw’s granddaughter back then, I had a fight with her before and we still haven’t found out who won yet!”Sabrina said calmly, “You’re a housekeeper to the Ford family. Have you gone blind? You don’t even see me as the only young mistress of the Ford fam
Sabrina turned and saw a bejeweled woman dressed very elegantly and smartly. That woman was Sebastian’s stepmother, Rose. Rose spoke. “Sebastian! I rarely interfere with your matters. I feel that being a stepmother who did what I’ve done, I’m considered to have given you enough respect already.”Sebastian did not respond. His wife and child were arguing with Frost at the door for so long, but Sebastian did not make a sound. This was because his wife and child were not at a loss. It was Frost who had gotten two slaps. At this moment, the real boss has finally come. Sebastian looked at Rose. In the past, when Rose addressed herself as his stepmother, Sebastian had not objected much. After all, she was his father’s wife. It was Sebastian who had killed his elder brothers. However, after this trip to Star Island, Sebastian understood that there was no way for the grudge between him and Rose to be resolved.If time were to turn back to twenty years ago, to when his mother had not pass
“Very good! Excellent!” Sebastian sneered. There was a pause before he said, “Since you can’t stand your husband having other women outside, then why did you willingly let your husband have other women on Star Island?”Rose was so shocked that she abruptly raised her head. “Sebastian, you’ve…you’ve found out about everything? Is this the secret that you’ve brought back from Star Island?”Sebastian smirked. “It’s far more than that!”Rose looked anxious. “How did you find out that your mother was the woman I personally found for your father to toy with? Your mother passed away, so how did you find out?”Sebastian asked, “Do you think there will be secrets in this world that will never be exposed?”Rose was dumbfounded.“When you found a woman for your husband back then, did you think of that woman’s feelings? When that woman was pregnant with your husband’s child, the both of you came together to tell her that she was just a homewrecker, do you know what she was feeling in h
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
