At this thought, he felt so wronged that he wanted to straighten her head, to wake her up so he could reason and argue with her! To see who was the reasonable one! But at the thought of how she had finally fallen asleep, exhausted from her cries and screams, he could not bear to wake her up.He lay on his side and looked at her. There were still tears in her eyes. Her eyebrows were screwed tightly together, her expression as resolute as always, so resolute that she was willing to die to preserve her dignity. She scolded him and asked him to get out.“Ha!” He suddenly laughed in the dark of the room. Come to think of it, was there a second person in the entire South City who dared to scold him like that? Not to mention women, even men, including the veterans of the Ford Group, like his father, Sean, and his grandfather, Henry, which one of them dared to yell at him like that? She was the only one! Sabrina Scott! Like a crazed woman, she hit and punched him, bit him and cursed at him,
Sean Ford’s infuriated voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Sebastian! It’s getting harder and harder to contact you! Yesterday, I was trying to call you the entire afternoon!”Sebastian merely repeated his previous question. “Dad! What is it!” “I went to your office yesterday afternoon. I wanted to talk to you but I couldn’t even enter the building!”“What do you want?”“Have you forgotten what day it is today?” Sean asked.Sebastian: “…” He had no idea what day it was today; he only knew today was the day his wife turned against him. She had lived with him for more than a year, and she never exploded the way she did last night. If today was a special day, he would coin it as ‘The Day His Wife Went Crazy’. At Sebastian’s continued silence, his father continued, “Last week at your office, you and Sabrina both agreed to attend the banquet at the old residence today!Sebastian: “…” Now he remembered. There was indeed such an incident. Last week, the day Lori Gibson ba
Seated beside him was Henry Ford and his wife. Seeing her son in such a state of rage, Old Madam Ford could not help but admonish him. “Seany! What are you so angry about? Now that Sebastian and his wife are on good terms, aren’t things any better?”“Mom!” Sean did not dare to challenge his son but he dared to challenge his mother. “Mom, what are you talking about! Who is Sebastian?” Sean asked his mother angrily.The old lady answered, “He’s my grandson, of course.” “Not only is he your grandson at the moment, but he’s also your only grandson! The only living heir to the Ford family! Not only does he represent the Ford family, but he’s also the most powerful man in the Ford Group! The most influential and respected man in the entire South City, the King of South City!”The old lady replied, “This proves that my grandson is a capable man.” Sean was furious upon hearing her reply. “Do you want your capable grandson to become the laughing stock of the city?”The old lady asked, “
“Sabrina! Damn you!” The moment he opened his mouth, Sean started cursing at his daughter-in-law. Sabrina was speechless. “…”She was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. When Sebastian walked out to answer the call, he locked the door behind him from the outside, Sabrina was locked in. Since she could not go out anyway, she simply laid down and continued to sleep. Within ten short minutes, she had fallen asleep again. And now, a short while later, she was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. Her entire body ached, whilst fragments of her heart lay scattered on the ground. During that extremely short nap, she had a dream. She dreamt that she and Sebastian were divorced, but after the divorce, every single day, she cried and sobbed. Her heart could not bear the idea of leaving him; she was so depressed she felt as if her heart was going to shrivel up and die. Having such a dream made her cry even in her sleep. When she was at the peak of her despair, she was awakened by a call
If it was Sabrina, she would not call him at all. However, Sebastian still answered the call. “Hello?”On the other end, Lori sounded unexpectedly calm. “Director Ford, I… I have something to tell you.”Sebastian answered, “Alright.” “Uhm… Last week Uncle Ford invited my mother, my granduncle, and I to the Ford Ramily residence. That day, he said you, your wife, and your daughter would also be present.” “Is there a problem?” Sebastian threw the question back at her. Lori’s tone was sincere. “It’s like this, Director Ford; your wife doesn’t like me too much, so, I think… Maybe you shouldn’t come?”Sebastian: “…”“Master Sebastian, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to prevent you from going to your own home. But because… Because Uncle Ford invited us, my mother and I have no choice but to attend. My mother and I have no one to rely on but each other, so we don’t dare to go against Uncle Ford’s wishes. That’s why I thought to talk to you first. Because I’m quite afraid your wif
Hearing Sabrina refuse so directly, Sebastian did not get angry either. His tone was even more direct than hers. “You can choose not to go.”Sabrina: “…”“Then don’t blame me for being ruthless towards Aino and your mother!” His tone was calm and indifferent. “You!” Sabrina sat up immediately. “Sebastian Ford, you’re not even human! You jerk! You cold-blooded beast!” Because Sabrina was too agitated, when she suddenly sat up, she forgot that she was actually naked. When she sat up suddenly like this, the natural silk quilt suddenly fell off her shoulders. Her dark messy hair covered her small face, merely half the size of a palm. At that moment, her big watery eyes held two crystal teardrops, making her look even more pitiful. Her skin that was exposed after the quilt fell from her shoulders made her look especially tender and delicate. Sebastian, who had just entered the room, was stunned for a moment. He was stunned because he saw the marks left behind by his hands. The bruises
Did it hurt? He did not say anything, continuing to clean her shallow flesh wounds. And now he was helping her get dressed. With his current actions, he acted as if he was her lover, her simp, returning to his image as a good father and loving husband. Who was he? Which one was the real him? At that moment, Sabrina was very confused. In her confusion, Sebastian had already got her dressed. After carrying her off the bed, he said to her in his deep and mellow voice, “I know the friction might hurt your feet, so don’t wear heels today, so just wear some flats.”She answered mechanically, “Okay.” Then she mechanically walked into the bathroom and washed her face. When she emerged from the bathroom, her tiny face was smooth and clean, without a hint of powder on it. Her hair, on the other hand, was tied up into a bun at the top of her head. However, her complexion was so pale that Sebastian could not help himself and took another peek at her. She immediately asked, “Do you have
"You… Jennie Gibson! Why are you calling me again? Call one more time and I will go straight to the police to file a report for harassment!"Sabrina stared blankly at her mother while Sebastian scowled.However, Jennie was not at all enraged or agitated. Her tone remained calm as she said, "Gloria, I'm guessing that your daughter is pretending and lying to you that nothing has happened. But do you know how miserable she feels deep down? No, you don't! You can refuse to come if you don't care about your daughter at all."Gloria immediately glanced over at Sabrina. She had not been paying much attention, but with closer inspection, she came to realize that her daughter's eyes were swollen, as though she had been crying for a long time."Harass me again and I'll call the police!" she warned before she hung up."Mom?" Sabrina looked frustrated. "Is Jennie Gibson causing you trouble?"Gloria comforted her with a smile. "A person like her can only rely on her cousin and her uncle-in-la
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
