Even Aino leaned in her father’s arms and did not say anything. Fortunately, someone came in through the door at this moment and the silence was broken. “Uncle Alex, what…what happened to you? I went to your summer house, but your maid refused to let me in. I was anxious to death!” Ryan was the first to come in through the door. He came from the company after work. Immediately after that, Marcus also entered. His expression was not as anxious as Ryan’s because after all, Marcus was not that close with Alex.Marcus placed the flower basket he had brought for Alex down, and then he looked at Sabrina eagerly. “Sabrina, I had a whole day of meetings at the company today, so I didn’t have time to ask about you. How have you been? Is the handover process over on Zayn’s completed?”Sabrina nodded. “Mm-hmm. My brother officially became the director of the Smith Group yesterday. Since it was a weekend yesterday and there was one in the company, all the high-ranking executives had all
Sabrina was stunned when she heard the other party's voice. She thought she had heard it wrong, and then she stammered in excitement. “Ja-Jane, is that you?”On the other end, Jane smiled. “Sabrina, what…what’s the matter? Why are you so excited? It…hasn’t been that many days since the last time I called you, right?”Sabrina was speechless. It was mainly because Sabrina had been in a hot mess the past few days because of Jennie and Lori, who had suddenly returned from abroad. She even almost tore her own marriage into pieces. So much so that after that incident, Sabrina actually had a feeling as if that was a lifetime ago. She also felt as if Jane had not called her for a long time. In fact, it had only been two weeks.“Jane, you…” Just as Sabrina wanted to say something, Alex gave her a gesture. Sabrina then immediately looked at Alex. Alex did not even think to find a pen or anything, and he just directly bit his own fingertip. After that, he wrote a few words with his finge
“Sabrina, you even lent me money when I was most distressed. Do you know how grateful I am to you in my heart, Sabrina? However, I can’t go back to South City. I’m guessing that Mr Poole will beat me to death if I were to go back to South City. Therefore, no matter how concerned I am about you, I can’t go back to see you. You have to be careful with everything, Sabrina.”Sabrina was speechless. She glanced at Alex, and he looked stunned. Sabrina had the call on loudspeaker, and everyone was holding their breath as they looked at her. On the other hand, Jane was still speaking. “Sabrina, I had been a maid for a rich family for seven years. I originally thought that the head of the family would make me his legitimate wife. In the end, there was not even the slightest bit of warning beforehand when he chased me out. He did not even let me take a change of clothes. Not only that, but even my salary was snatched away. The people within the rich families actually could truly be vicious.
Sabrina asked, “Jane, you can tell me, what is it? If you have any trouble, you must tell me straight away. I can help you! Trust me, Jane.”Jane’s tone became dull. “I actually just wanted you to help me ask Mr Poole, why exactly is he after me?”Sabrina said, “Jane…”She originally wanted to tell Jane that Alex was not after her. She wanted to say that Alex had regretted what he had done and he was just frantically looking for her. However, before Sabrina could speak, she saw Alex, who was on the hospital bed, holding up his messages written in blood. ’Don’t interrupt her. Let her speak first.’Sabrina then did not continue to finish her sentence, and she asked Jane instead, “Jane, do you have any grudges with Alex?”“He and I truly have no grudges at all. I have never taken a single penny of his properties or those treasured gold silver jewelry of his. He had given me quite an amount of them, but I don’t wear them when I’m at home. On the day that Mr Pooled kicked me out,
“Jane, be honest with me. As long as you tell me the truth, I can help you think of good ideas to help you.”Jane smiled bitterly. “Yes! How can I not love him? The first time I met Alex, he had saved me, and I had fallen for him then! However, what’s the use of love? To have fallen for a person who doesn’t love me is a kind of burden to him and it’s also a kind of pain to me. I knew that he didn’t love me. However, I never thought that he would hate me to his extent. He just kicked me out just like that, and he still wanted to hunt me down after he had driven me away. Sabrina, do you know how much I’m regretting now for falling for him? Perhaps in his eyes, I am not even comparable to a joke. I’m just a tool for him to vent. After he had done venting, I had to die. I feel remorseful… I don’t want anything anymore now, and I will never love him anymore in the future. I just want to live. Therefore, Sabrina, as long as he is willing to spare my life and not let me die, I can promise t
Seeing Alex like this, Sabrina instantly became furious. “Alex you j*rk! You’re not human!”The little six-year-old child shouted at Alex with tears in her eyes. “Uncle Poole, you have heard what Aunt Jane said just now. She doesn’t want to be with you anymore. She also doesn’t owe you anything. She was so good to you at that time, so why don’t you let her go? You are a bad person!” Alex was speechless. He raised his head and looked at his blood brother. “Sebastian…”Sebastian said coldly, “Alex, don’t look for her anymore. Seeing that she was once so good to you, isn’t it good to let her live life in peace? She may be poor now, but she is happy.”Alex was speechless. No one knew how much his heart was bleeding at this moment. No one knew!He suddenly laughed in a wretched manner. “Ha! Who am I? How could I waste all my time just because of a woman? It’s just a woman. She was just a maid and a female companion when she was with me. Since she doesn’t want to come back now, the
Over on the other end of the line, Gloria instantly laughed. “Hey, you little child, you’ve also learned to flatter me now.”“I didn’t, Grandma,” said Aino. “Alright, alright, you didn’t. You can come and stay over whenever you want to and keep me company.”“Mm-hmm, alright, Grandma,” said the little girl cheerfully. “Aino, where’s your mother?” asked Gloria. “Right next to me.” Aino immediately handed the phone over to Sabrina. Sabrina called out, “Mom, I originally wanted to visit you. I haven't been able to visit you since we left the Ford Residence on Saturday. After that, a friend of Sebastian’s fell ill and was hospitalized, and we’ve been taking care of him at the hospital. Mom, how have you been?”Gloria said on the other end, “As long as my daughter and my granddaughter are well, I’ll be fine as well.”There was a pause before Gloria said it loud and clear, “Sabrina, don’t worry. I will always have your back. No matter where you feel aggrieved, you can also come ba
Sebastian was speechless. Was this a sudden change of style? His heart was instantly fired up. This was the first time Sabrina was so driven in inviting him.She could tell that the man was being turned on. She then smiled mischievously and raised her tender arms to hook on the man’s neck. “Come on!”Sebastian knew that the woman was using her method to apologize to him and to woo him. He smiled wickedly, and then he bent over to pick Sabrina up and threw her onto the big bed. Everything happened so naturally and beautifully. Even all exhaustion and grievances in the past few days were all dissolved at once. When they woke up the following day, Sebastian was very refreshed, and Sabrina also had a glow. Her skin also appeared to be much more tender. It was a Tuesday. Although it was better than Monday, it was a very busy day. Besides, Sabrina had quite a huge load of work piled up recently, so once they had gotten up early in the morning, the family of three left the house after
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
