Alex was stunned for a moment, and then he asked eagerly, “What happened?”Garrett had a catch in his throat. “Madam…no, I mean Miss Jane and her fiance, they are not…in Bay County.”“Where are you now?” Alex asked.Garrett immediately said, “Master Alex, I followed your orders and came outside of the mansion in Bay County. However, there was no one there. The interiors of the entire mansion seemed like it was ransacked.”Alex asked, “How could this be?”It was actually Sabrina’s idea to let Garrett go to Bay County in advance. Twelve days ago, Alex had locked himself in the Poole residence in Kidon City once he had returned from the northeastern area. No one knew what he had done all alone in the study for two whole days and nights. He was actually liquidating his assets. Throughout his whole life, he had been fighting hard for his parent’s glory from a young age. He also thought that he could get everything he wanted through his own hard work in this life. However, the f
All the things that she had silently done for him were irreplaceable by others. What was the use of having more maids at home? They could not put things in place as she did. They could not arrange his closet the way she used to do it. Most importantly, they could not say to him, “Alex, I love you.”Alex, I love you.Her shadows seemed to have been nailed in his mind. It turned out that he had not wasted the past decade because he had waited for Lily. It turned out that he was actually unknowingly enjoying the gentle and silent love that she had given to him during the past ten years. That was why he did not become extremely dispirited in those years.How many decades could a person get in life? If Jane was not in his life in the future, then what was the meaning of his hard work, glory, power, and his everything?Therefore, after he had helped Jane settle down in the northeast, he then made a decision. The only purpose for him to be alive in his remaining years was just t
Over on this end of the line, Alex was already incomparably anxious. “Tell me! Is Jane alright? What exactly happened?”“Master…Madam and her current man had opened a restaurant in Bay County. However, someone had come over to find fault with them right after they had started their business. No…it didn’t seem like they were here to find fault with them. Those people had concrete evidence and said that Madam’s restaurant was involved in some illegal business.”Alex was speechless.Garrett continued. “Also…also…”“Speak!” said Alex as he flew into a rage. If Garrett was by his side at that moment, he would have beaten him up into a pulp!“It seemed…like you were the one who gave the order.”“What?” There was a pause before Alex asked with clear articulation. “What the hell is going on?”Garrett said with an awkward tone, “Master, when you...sent me here to Bay County. You had told me that the madam has a slightly better impression of me, and you asked me to tell her that it
Alex’s summer house that was located halfway up the mountain was usually kept empty. That was because Alex was not often in South City. Ever since Jane had left, that place had become even more desolate. Originally, as Alex was going to spend many days in South City, Sebastian did not want to let him stay at that place. Sebastian had already arranged a place for Alex to stay, but Alex just was not willing to stay there. Alex insisted on staying at the desolate place halfway up the mountain. This was because there were Jane’s shadows everywhere here. Also, because Jane had been kicked out of this place by him. Therefore, every single time he came back to this place and sat in the large living room, he would think of that day from three days ago. The way he kicked her out was calm and heartless. She had left so quietly, and she did not even say anything to pester him. Every time he thought of it, Alex wanted to raise his powerful fist and violently punch himself in the head. It would
Alex immediately raised his head and looked over. If that woman who stood in front of the iron gate was not Lily, then who was it? It was late winter, and everything had withered. However, Lily wore a white mink coat. That mink coat appeared to be dazzling in the winter. Lily appeared to be extremely noble with that white mink coat and also that coffee-colored crocodile leather belt. Lily's skin was very well taken care of. That white mink coat brought out her rosy cheeks and made her look very energetic. She was wearing knee boots and was looking at Alex with a smile. She then called out daintily, “Darling Alex…”Alex got out of the car with a cold and solemn expression. “Why are you here?”Lily looked like she had a glow. “Well, I had recently got the lady of the Ford family, Rose, as my godmother. She misses me, so I came over to accompany her for a few days. Alex, although we had broken up, we’re still friends in my heart. As a friend, can’t I come and visit you?” Lily asked
She could console him! She must console him gently!Lily was not afraid of Alex’s cold and stern gaze. She just walked seductively towards Alex, swaying her hips from side to side. It would be best if she was able to sleep with Alex right there that night.“Alex…” Lily became slightly gentler. She raised her slender wrist and stroked Alex’s icy cold face. “Don’t be sad anymore, Alex. I know you’re heartbroken. If you need me to, I’ll accompany you to go look for her again. How about that? I’m very sorry. I was impulsive back then, and I was too full of myself as well. If I hadn’t returned, then you would not have chased her away, wouldn’t you? It was all my fault. I was the one who caused you to lose her. I’ll accompany you to go get her back now, alright, Alex?“Although…” At that point, Lily suddenly got a little choked up. She covered her face sadly and her tone became slightly more miserable. “Although I love you very much, I know you don’t love me anymore. I will not force you,
Lily was wearing high heels, so she was practically unable to stand still. In the end, she fell right in front of Alex’s car.Andrew, who was still thinking that his master should reconcile with Miss Lily, was thoroughly stunned. Lily has blood streaming out of her nose after being slapped by Alex. The blood then dripped on her mink coat that was pure white, which made it look glaring. There was also blood on the car window. Lily was shocked when she looked at her blood.At that moment, she suddenly realized that she could not fool Alex easily. What had Alex found out and how much did Alex actually know? He was far away in South City, so how could he have possibly known what she had done in the past half a month?However, at that moment, Lily already had no time to think too much about it anymore. There was only fear left in her heart. The only thing left was fear.Before she could react in time, Alex, who was behind her, had already taken a big step forward and came to the front o
“Darling Alex, you have loved me for ten years. Was that all fake? You’re the man I love the most in this world! It was you who told me that you have been loving me. Were you lying to me? Not only do you not love me, but you want to beat me to death too? You actually would beat the woman you had loved for ten years to death?”At that moment, Lily had no other better way but to keep reminding Alex that she was the girl whom Alex had once loved the most. She wanted to use that to let Alex pity her, then only she could escape death. This was because she could tell Alex truly wanted to get her killed by beating her up that day. Alex had indeed stopped. Lily had a sense of joy as if she had escaped death. “Darling Alex, you could not bear to beat me up, right? You still love me very much. You had once doted on me very much and was very tolerating with me…”Alex suddenly pinched Lily’s chin so hard that she felt as if her lower jaw was going to be shattered. Alex did not have the inten
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
