“Was I supposed to give up on this lucrative job?“I was not willing to, and I need to raise my daughter.“I told my boss the situation, so my boss gave me some information on some existing clients and ways to contact large investors within South City.“Then I saw a question.“Why did our company work with so many other companies, but not the Ford Group? The Ford Group is at the top of South City.“I asked my boss, and my boss told me, ‘If you manage to turn the Ford Group into one of our clients, I’ll give you a million-dollar raise by this year.’“A million dollars! How much did that mean to me?“I immediately assured my boss that I would do it!“I said that I will definitely be able to get this contract from the Ford Group, because my cousin knows Young Master Ford.“I’d already given my guarantee. I pleaded with my cousin, but he didn’t agree to help me. However, I wanted this deal too much. With this deal, I could allow my mother to retire in South City. And for my child,
Kingston and Lori looked at Sebastian at the same time.Sebastian had already turned around and walked toward the company.He said and he moved, “Get a draft ready immediately, and show me the contract.”Lori was speechless.After a few seconds, she said incredibly emotionally, “Yes! Young Master! Thank you, thank you, Young Master Ford! Thank you!”At that moment, Sebastian had already walked far away.Kingston angrily glared at Lori with Sebastian’s suitcase in hand. “Quit thanking him! Get lost!”Lori was silent.Before she could react, Kingston had already chased after Sebastian, suitcase in hand.Lori was left alone, and she slowly composed herself.What appeared on her face was a ruthless expression and tone. “Kingston! Just you wait! When I become Mrs. Ford one day, I will kill you myself!”After that, Lori got into her car and drove off.She happily blasted music in the car.When her car went past someone else, they would think that she was having a party as she dr
Lori was speechless.“I was just a bride yesterday. If you can do it today, then we’d be the perfect couple!” Jennie said.After that, she sighed. “I wonder where we can put that little burden, Jennifer.”Lori said, “Mom, we still need to keep that orphan because my sob story to Sebastian involves the orphan.”Jennie said, “Oh! This orphan will be very happy then!“Let me tell you! The moment this orphan stops being useful, you better think of a way to get rid of it! We won’t raise any orphans for free!”“I want to do it as well, Mom,” Lori said on the phone.“Putting Jennifer aside, the most important thing you can do today is to figure out a way to get into Sebastian’s bed,” Jennie said anxiously.Before she could even finish her words, Lori said, “Mom, Mom! Hang up quickly, I… Ford… Young Master Ford! Young Master Ford is calling me.”God!On the other end, Jennie hung up immediately.Lori did not answer the phone immediately.She actually had Sebastian’s number on her p
Zayn thought that he had misheard. “Lori, what… What did you say.”Lori did not know how to react.She immediately covered her own mouth.How stupid!How could she have let that slip in her happiness?Lori bit her lips as she looked at Zach.Zach’s face was also incredibly pale.He knew who Sabrina was.Back then, Zach had also hated Sabrina due to her relationship with his cousin, Zayn.That was because, thanks to Zayn running away with Sabrina, the Smith Group suffered immensely.Zach had repeatedly said in front of Sebastian that he was him, and Zayn was Zayn. Zach did not have any relationship with Zayn at all.If he saw Zayn one day, he would definitely cut Zayn apart.Yet, despite Zach distancing himself from Zayn so much in front of Sebastian, Sebastian was still not willing to give the Smith Group any chances.If Zach did not have his father-in-law’s family backing him from Kidon City, the Smith Group might have already been completely swallowed whole by Sebastian.
Lori asked, “Tell me honestly. Do you hate Sabrina?”Zach was speechless.Hate! Of course he did.“Even if you don’t say it, I know that you hate her! Since you hate her, why don’t you dare say it out loud? I dared to say it in front of you!” In truth, Lori’s mind was already filled with regret.She still had yet to sleep with Sebastian.She still did not advance any further with Sebastian.How could she say that she wanted Sabrina to die in front of someone else?If the news spread to Sebastian and Sabrina’s ears, then Lori would definitely die.However, Lori never expected that Zach had actually been scared into submission by her.He composed himself and asked Lori, “What plan do you have to deal with Sabrina?”“You… What did you say?”“Do you have a plan to kill her?!” Zach said angrily.“Ha!” Lori pursed her lips, continuing, “Haha! Hahaha…”After she laughed, she said, “If I could get such a big deal from Sebastian so easily, I can naturally kill off Sabrina. Direct
Sebastian was speechless.His face immediately turned incredibly cold.The voice he heard was very unknown and very greasy.It was different from Marcus’s warmth, different from Zayn’s kindness, and different from Nigel’s casual and easygoing manner. The voice was incredibly different from Holden’s arrogant but gentle and melancholic voice.Sebastian had never heard the voice on the phone before, and it was an incredibly foreign voice.Hearing such disgusting words on the phone, Sebastian remained calm.He did not speak, and looked at Sabrina who was wolfing her food down.“What is it, dear? Who called? Why is your expression so stern? It can’t be?” Sabrina ate her ribs as she smiled and walked toward Sebastian. After that, she naturally took the phone from Sebastian’s hand.“Hello? Who is it? Why are you calling me so late at night?” Sabrina grumbled.“Sab, don’t you know who I am?” From the phone, an incredibly greasy voice entered Sabrina’s ear.“Ugh…” Sabrina suddenly f
“It’s my cousin. He wants to talk to you,” Yvonne said.Sabrina was speechless.After a moment, she answered the phone. “Hello, Assistant Yates, is… Is there anything wrong?”Kingston mysteriously said on the phone, “Madam, you must not let anyone know I called you. Absolutely no one!”His tone was incredibly anxious, but incredibly stern.Sabrina’s heart jumped. “Assistant Yates, what happened?”On the other end, Kingston did not answer Sabrina. Instead he smiled casually, “It’s nothing, Madam. Actually… It’s actually nothing, I just felt a little free today, and I happened to pass by your company. I wanted to call my cousin, and felt like telling you a couple of things.”Kingston had always treated Sabrina and Aino very well. Sabrina knew that. Furthermore, Kingston’s loyalty to Sabrina greatly touched her as well.So, at that moment, when she heard Kingston say that, Sabrina did not think much of it.Right after that, Kingston said, “Madam, I feel like that woman named Lo
Being pinned down by Sebastian, Sabrina did not stand a chance.Trying to overpower her man was like smashing an egg against a rock and hoping the egg would survive.However, that night, Sabrina could feel that the man’s actions felt like they were punishing her.Was he really mad?Sabrina did not dare to act spoiled or beg for mercy.She could only silently bear it.After two hours, she hugged the man’s head and gently said, “Alright, stop being angry, okay? I’ll remember it in the future. If I see any man who’s more handsome than you on the streets, I’ll never spare him a second glance.“If I dare to look at the man again, I’ll dig my eyes out.“Sebastian…“I really don’t know who that call was from. I don’t know him at all. My intuition tells me that it’s a plot by Lori. It’s definitely Lori’s scheming.”Sebastian said, “Go to sleep!”Sabrina was speechless.After a moment, she demanded, “Give me your arm. I want you to hold me!”The man raised his arm, and he pulled Sa
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
