Startled, Emma sat up from her bed. "Who are you?"The hoarse voice on the other end was still asking for help, "H--help me…""Lily?""Mm…" Lily struggled to respond."Aren't you with Holden Payne? Aren't you pregnant with his child? What happened to you?"Meanwhile, Lily was locked inside a cell and her lips were so dry that the skin was peeling. Had she known that she would end up like this, Lily would have never gone to Holden for help. She had thought that he would keep her around for the sake of the child in her belly, but she had underestimated his viciousness.Holden had gone from South City to Kidon City before Axel sent him overseas by ship merely three months ago with Sean and Rose's retirement fund. Sean had wanted to send Holden to Europe so that he could extend his career with his sharp mind, but Holden changed his path halfway. He did not go to Europe, but instead went to the Middle East.The Middle East was plagued with wars and no one with an ordinary mindset wou
If that was the case, then Holden truly had to treat this woman well for the rest of his life. This was because Holden had never let women down! He was a feminist!However, this was clearly not the case. Lily was a woman who had traveled the world. It had already been a long while since she was first involved with someone, so would she still care about this?Since she had an unexpected pregnancy, then should she not have cut her losses at the earliest possible time so that the child would not suffer and her body would not be severely damaged?However, she traveled such a long distance and went through fire to come to him just to make him take responsibility?Was that even logical?This woman! She had always been full of sinister schemes. She had tried to frame Sabrina many times in South City!Thinking of that, Holden then dreadfully coldly came to the front of Lily, who had just temporarily settled down. “Pregnant with my child?”Lily already had no way out in the country and
The doctor was so frightened by Holden’s imposing manner that she dared not speak for quite a while. It was a long while before she stuttered, “Has it already been four months? To do an amniocentesis for a paternity test, you’ll have to wait until the fetus is four months old. Then only…”Holden said calmly, “It’s been exactly four months.”“Good… Good.”Lily looked tearfully at Holden. “Holden, you don’t believe me?”“Do you think I take you for a person with integrity?”Lily was speechless. Holden’s tone was unwaveringly calm. “I don’t care about a woman’s chastity. As long as the paternity test results show that the child is mine, no matter how many men you’ve fooled around with, I will still keep you by my side! If that child is not mine, but you want to make a fool of me…”There was a pause before Holden said incomparably coldly, “If you make a fool of me…”“No, Holden, no. I don’t want to do it anymore. I’ll leave your island immediately, alright?” Lily pleaded with Hold
Lily helplessly shouted tearfully, “No… Don’t, no…”However, this was not Kidon City, and it was not South City either. Alex no longer protected her in South City or Kidon City, let alone here in Holden’s territory?No matter how much Lily wailed, she was still pushed into the operating room. Holden, who was outside of the operating room, could hear how miserably Lily was wailing.It took a long while and Lily fainted a few times.When she woke up again, her belly was already flat.The doctor’s icy cold voice could be heard. “You will never menstruate again in the future.”Lily asked, “Doctor, I…am I still alive?”The doctor nodded. “Of course! Not only are you alive, but you can still get intimate with men like normal.”“Then, will I…still have children in the future?”The doctor laughed. “You cannot menstruate anymore, so how will you have children? What a joke!”Lily was speechless. She was going insane!“Ah… Holden, you son of a b*tch!” Just as she finished saying that
Emma was speechless.What a loser! Lily truly had been unlucky ever since she returned to the country. No wonder she was called Lily. The ‘L’ in her name was meant for ‘Loser’.Emma stayed silent on the other end of the line for a long while. In the past ten years, Lily had been condescending and indifferent to Emma. Although Emma was a member of the Poole family from Kidon City, Lily had never treated her as a human. That was because Lily had Alex backing her up. However, things were different at that moment! Alex no longer wanted Lily! Lily had gone to seek refuge with Holden and had been made to become neither human nor ghost by him. ‘Ha! How unlucky of her!’ Emma actually felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. At that moment, she did not talk about the matter of rescuing Lily no matter what. She just sneered and said to Lily, “Lily! You truly are pretentious! Back then when you were staying at my uncle’s house when you were a teenager, my uncle truly loved you more than m
Austin, who was the eldest of his family, said to his father, “Dad! I’m not trying to nag you!”Old Master Poole looked at his eldest son and was stunned.“You also know that I have no interest in terms of power. Our family originally had been so oppressed by Uncle Axel that we barely were able to breathe anymore! You were so furious back then. Later on, wasn’t Alex the one who made a comeback with his own power after he was grown up?“Our family only got to enjoy incomparable nobility in Kidon City because we have Alex. If you were to sever all ties with Alex, then aren’t you just pushing him to outsiders?“Besides, I find that my sister-in-law is quite good! She hasn’t done anything wrong, and she is gentle and well-mannered. She had put in a lot of effort serving Alex for eight years! I think she is a hundred times better than Lily!“That, what’s her name…Lily? She had changed so many partners when she was abroad for so many years. Does she really take Alex as a fool?“Jane is
Standing opposite Emma, Ruth fearlessly put her hands on her hips and looked at Emma in a shrewish manner. “I am the one who slapped you!”The person who was standing at the side was Ryan.“You…” Emma had never expected it. Never in a million years did Emma expect it! Even such a little b*tch like Ruth dared to slap her. Who did she take Emma for? Was Emma a person that could be slapped whenever someone wanted to?“Ryan! I am your aunt!” Emma roared at Ryan.Ryan shrugged. “Aunt Emma, I am obsessed with this chick now. She has a lot of flaws. She is uncultured, doesn’t dress up, is vulgar, and looks like a shrew. You are much more elegant than her, but I have seen enough elegant chicks. I just prefer the kind like Ruth right now. I can’t control her. Once I controlled her, she would cry and run away. I won’t be able to get her around even if I tried for a month.”Emma stuttered in anger. “You…”Ruth still had her hands on her waist. That way Ruth glared at her was as if once Emma
“That’s what I find most admirable about Sabrina. In the future, I want to be a woman just like her! Therefore, Ryan, just keep your money. I will never spend your money.”Perhaps it started from that moment onwards, Alex cherished this little girl, Ruth, even more. Although she was shrewish and seemed bad-mannered at a glance, she was actually very proud and unyielding at the bottom of her heart. She was hardworking as well. Why did it matter that she was a little shrew hail from a messy place like the markets? Ryan just liked her! Not only did he like her, but he also felt that his little wife was very cute.Ryan coughed a little. “Ruth! You’ve been a little reckless. This is my aunt and my father’s cousin. She is our elder. How can you call her a b*tch?”Ruth had an innocent expression. “Oh, I had already forgotten that she is a generation elder.”Emma was speechless. Oh! Are they trying to piss her off to death? Why would she meet this pair of d*mned things outside of her uncle
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
