Marcus, who was carrying the pot of flowers, was stunned for a moment. Carefully, he asked, “Sabrina, why are you suddenly asking me this? Did you…find out about something?” Sabrina’s heart sank for a moment. However, she still shook her head. “No, I just noticed that you’ve been coming to my mom’s every weekend, so I just felt that you only have my mom’s family as your relatives. Haha.”She laughed. Marcus was immediately relieved, but he still sighed and said helplessly. “Speaking of that relative really makes my skin crawl.”Sabrina was not sure how to reply. After a pause, she asked in a calm and composed manner, “What’s the matter, Marcus? You… have other relatives?”Marcus sighed, and then smiled. “Yes! Your mother also knows this relative of mine. She was Aunt Gloria’s classmate in kindergarten. They originally wanted to be best girl-friends when they grew up. In the end, when she knew Aunt Gloria’s identity, she drove Aunt Gloria out of the Shaw family.”Sabrina w
However, Jennie could not have her pregnancy terminated due to various reasons. When the child was born, her rich boyfriend told her very clearly, “If this child is mine, I will give you a hundred million dollars! After that, I will take the child away. My child certainly cannot be with a filthy woman like you!If the child is not mine, then I’m sorry, but get as far away from me as possible!”Jennie was so furious at that time. She cried and scolded her boyfriend, “Were you not the one who brought me along to be toyed with together with your friend? You’re disliking me for being filthy now?”Her boyfriend smiled frivolously, “Of course! If it was just for fooling around, then I like the filthy kind because I like it hardcore. However, it would certainly be another story when it’s the mother of my child!”Jennie was speechless. In this immensely humiliating situation, Jennie did a paternity test. However, it was a huge disappointment. She could not even get the hundred millio
When she saw Marcus’ expression, Sabrina was instantly stunned.However, it only lasted for a second. Then, she smiled. “Marcus, think about it. It’s just a fifty-fifty probability for all this. Your aunt’s daughter either has a man or no man. If she has a man, and they have a child, then the child must be a girl if not a boy. Therefore, I’ve guessed it correctly, right?”Marcus instantly laughed. “Sabrina, I didn’t expect you to be so playful.”Sabrina smiled. “That’s right! In fact, I am still very playful by nature.”Marcus then said again, “Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’s annoying just thinking about it. In actuality, I have not really met his aunt of mine because this was the matter for the generation before us. I also have never seen this cousin of mine.”After a pause, Marcus continued, “Actually, Sabrina, we are the ones who are truly related by blood. Your mother is my aunt, and you are my cousin. I only have two female cousins, which are you and Ruth. There ar
Jennie was still his father's cousin at the end of the day. His father had been close to her since they were young. Considering that it was her daughter calling, Marcus couldn't express his anger in any way no matter how irritated he felt. After a pause, he asked, "Did you and Aunt Jennie call the old residence?"The woman whom he called Lori giggled cheerfully and said, "We did, we did. Grandpa Shaw wouldn't pick it up at first, it was uncle who picked it up later on. You know, cousin Marcus, uncle really cares for my mom, right?"Marcus did not know what to say."Once uncle realized it was mom calling, he immediately invited us to your house. We will be there in about ten minutes.""Lori...you...don't..."Before he could finish his sentence, Lori had already hung up. Marcus was rendered speechless. He had wanted to stay for the entire day with his aunt, to have a meal with her and keep her company. It was what Marcus intended, also what his grandfather and father intended.His
Lori was stunned, and tears immediately started welling up her eyes."What do you mean, Marcus?? If you don't welcome me to your home, my mother, my daughter and I will leave right away!" She paused then added, "Besides, it's not like this house belongs to you alone, doesn’t it? We came here to see grandpa, my uncle and aunt-in-law, not to see you! We are simply being polite by waiting for you here!"After a moment of hesitation, he responded with a low voice. "I'm sorry, excuse my manners. I'm just not in a good mood."Tears streamed down Lori's cheeks. "My daughter keeps asking me if her uncle is handsome and whether he is more handsome than her classmate's father. She insisted on standing by the door to wait for this uncle she had seen before, and so I..."Marcus finally noticed the little girl standing by his feet. The little girl raised her chin to look at Marcus. "Uncle..."His heart instantly melted. Marcus squatted down to scoop the child up in his arms. "Can you tell Uncl
Had he not known that Lori was already around the age of twenty-five, Marcus would have thought that the woman before him was in her forties at most. She was dressed in an exquisite and elegant dress that gave her an air of extravagance with no trace of hardship in life. The only thing one would notice apart from how privileged she was, was her sense of superiority. Marcus was reminded of his Aunt Gloria.His Aunt Gloria was a kin of the Shaw Family in every sense of the way, but had been discriminated against, humiliated, and exiled to the point that she couldn't even step foot in her own home. She had been looked down upon ever since the day she was born. Despite her love for music at the age of eighteen, she had to drop out from school because her mother was terminally ill with no money to spare. Since then, she started her life wandering. Just like Jennie, Gloria had met the wrong man and ended up marrying someone she couldn't depend on, but she was far less fortunate than the wom
The smile on Jennie's face widened. "Oh my, Marcus, Auntie had too many girl-friends back then, so many that I could barely count. From primary school to university, there had always been classmates that fought to be my girl-friends. Sigh...which little girl-friend of mine are you referring to, Marcus?"Marcus smiled. "I...I was just asking out of curiosity about all the fun things that happened in your childhood!""Oh yes, yes, my entire childhood was care-free," she responded, lamenting.Marcus threw his head back and squeezed his eyes shut, trying as hard as he could to suppress his anger. When he opened his eyes, he saw the anxiety and desperation in his father's expression. Marcus knew what his father was trying to say. She was his father's cousin, after all, so Marcus swallowed his anger. Luckily, Jennie did not continue on, perhaps because she noticed that Marcus was irritated, or maybe the fact that she was not welcomed by this family. She soon left without even staying for
After hanging up, she continued to sob. Meanwhile, Lori, who had already gotten in the car, stared at Jennie expressionlessly. "Mom! Didn't you see how Marcus ignored us? Grandpa Shaw, too! You treat him with such respect and his attitude towards you is no way near how a father would treat his daughter!"Jennie glanced at her daughter. "You are still young, with no clue how the world works. You don't know that we can only get what we want by going at it indirectly!"Lori only sobbed."Who do you think your mother is? I'm just Madam Shaw's nephew. My family name is Gibson, not Shaw! The only person I was related to in the entire Shaw Family was my aunt, your great-aunt, but it's been years since she passed away. There is an old saying that when people lose their value, they will be left behind. That's what this is.""Then why would you still cling onto them shamelessly?" Lori questioned rudely."So I shouldn't come and watch as the three of us end up on the streets? My branded hand
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
