Seeing Tessa explode in anger like that, Zayn immediately asked with concern, “Tessa, what’s wrong? What happened?”Tessa immediately put her phone down, raised her head to look at Zayn. She smiled miserably. “I’m sorry you had to see that, Zayn. I…actually, it’s nothing much. It’s nothing.”She lowered her head, and her tears dripped down. After taking a pause, she raised her head to look at Zayn again. “Zayn, let’s…eat.”Zayn held Tessa’s hand. “Tessa, I am your boyfriend. We are going to be married in the future. Your matters are mine as well. No matter what issues you need to handle, I can help you with it. Trust me. Your future husband still has this bit of capability.”Tessa pursed her lips and smiled. After that, she shook her head. “It’s nothing, Zayn.”“What exactly happened? Do you want me to die of anxiety? You are already going to take it to court! Who is pestering you? Quickly tell me!” Zayn was anxious. He looked at her with concerned gaze, and Tessa finally could no
“My dad tried but also could not chase her away. Besides, my dad had thought that she was very young, so he was worried that if he had driven her out, she would be bullied by those hooligans again. He could only bite the bullet and let her stay at his place. Later on…they had me. I heard that Hanna was only eighteen when she gave birth to me. Now, by calculation, she is only forty years old. You probably could not imagine that a forty-year-old woman, who is clearly still very young, is still only fond of enjoyment and is lazy. She is unmotivated and is only thinking of splitting half of my dad’s property all day long.”“Was your dad’s store opened before their divorce or was it already opened when he was with your mother, I mean Hana?” Zayn asked.Unexpectedly, Tessa’s reply shocked Zayn. “They had never actually been married. It was only because Hana could not endure the tough life, so she abandoned me and my dad and ran away alone. After she ran away, only then did my dad open the
Zayn was even more shocked when he heard Tessa say that. It was simply inconceivable. Before he had met Tessa’s mother, he already had an extremely terrible impression of her. The world was truly filled with wonders. If there were such responsible mothers like Sabrina in this world, then there would also be such irresponsible mothers like Hana.Hana was forty years old, which was not that much older than Zayn. He must bring Tessa along and argue face-to-face with Hana one day. Never mind the past, but since Zayn would be around from now on, he certainly could not let such a cheating and irresponsible mother harass Tessa again.“This woman is indeed too much. Your father is so nice to her, and she actually had an affair!” said Zayn furiously.Tessa sighed. “Before Hana, my dad had a wife. They have been together for many years, but they were unable to have a child. Later on, that woman blamed it on my dad, so she divorced him. My dad did not look for another partner for several years
Zayn was speechless. How could he bear to beat Aino up?Tessa, on the other hand, had always been a sensible and understanding person. She still smiled. “I’m sorry, Aino. I’m not very happy today, so my smile is more awful than my crying. I'll apologize to you, alright?”“Alright,” Aino said nonchalantly.Tessa then looked at Zayn again. “Zayn, you should look after Aino. The company is so huge. If she simply ran around by herself, Director Ford would not be able to find her later. I’ll go to work first. I’m fine. I’ll call you after work.”“Alright. Don’t hold it against Aino, she is just a little brat!” Zayn said.Tessa smiled. “I know. It’s fine, Zayn. I’m going in.”Zayn nodded. He watched Tessa enter her office, then suddenly felt a little pain in his feet. He looked down and saw that Aino was stepping on his feet with both her little feet and she was grinding them fiercely.Zayn was so angry that he suddenly roared, “Aino Scott!”“I told you I forbid you from dating Tessa
The woman Aino pointed at was squatting in a corner of the wall. Her clothes were extremely ragged and her hair was in a mess. When he looked closer, she actually still had some grey hair. The woman had a bony appearance and seemed to be at least forty years old. Also, she seemed very down-and-out at a glance. She could be…a cleaner who swept the streets? However, she was not wearing a uniform, and she was not holding any cleaning tools. She was just squatting there and what she was doing was unknown. At first glance, she looked like a homeless woman.Zayn had never discriminated against vagrants who were homeless. This was because once when Zayn and Sabrina brought Aino along to wonder, they simply were no different from the beggars. They had once lived the toughest life. Therefore, Zayn had always only had compassion and not contempt for such people.However, even so, he could not marry one to be his wife, right? Zayn was also considered a young master from an eminent family back t
They had been living together for six years. The little girl actually had remembered it all and had been taking that to her heart. Aino and her parents were already living together at that moment, so only her uncle was left alone. Aino had always wanted to find a home like that before for his uncle. Such a small person who has such an innocent heart. She was just thinking that only that kind of home could make her uncle feel happy.It was Zayn who had nasty thoughts. It was him who did not understand what the little child was thinking in her mind.Zayn squatted and hugged Aino in his arms. “It’s my fault, baby. I’m mistaken. I did not know you too well. You’re the best child in the world. You have the brightest eyes and you’re the best at thinking on my behalf, right?”Aino rolled her little eyes, she then raised her hand and pointed at Zayn. “Uncle Zayn, you’re finally enlightened. Now you know that the girlfriend I found for you is good, right?”Zayn nodded. He did not know if he
That woman had an indignant expression on her face. “I am saying that you’re an old man dating young girls! No matter how you look at it, you seemed to be in your thirties! This is called cheating. Do you know that?”“What…what are you talking about? Do we know each other?” Zayn stuttered.At that moment, he did see the woman’s appearance clearly. The woman had a bit of grey hair and she seemed like she was not that young anymore. Her features were decent and there was a deep vertical line in between her eyebrows as if she had many dreadfully worrisome matters. The woman looked like a homeless person from afar, but she did not give off an unkempt feeling to others upon seeing her up close. On the contrary, she was very clean and tidy. However, her clothes were discolored all over from being washed too many times, and there were also torn places on her sleeve and hem of the shirt. Such a person did not look like an unreasonable woman. She was more like…a fallen princess.“Ma’am, I…I
Zayn was furious. He took out his phone and called Tessa. The call was picked up very quickly on the other end of the line, and Tessa’s voice was indeed all choked up. “Zayn?”“Tessa, did your mother harass you again?” Zayn asked straightforwardly.Tessa immediately insisted. “No, Zayn, she didn’t.”“That’s not right. You’re crying! Tell me the truth, did she harass you again?” Zayn said.Tessa cried. “No, Zayn. I was the one who called her. I just wanted her to stay further away from me. I didn’t want her to harass her, so I took the initiative to call her. It’s alright now. Zayn, go back. Don’t delay your work at the company. I want to be alone for a while. I…I will want to cry once I see you, I will not be able to hold myself back. So, go home. I don’t want to cry anymore. I want to do my job properly.”Zayn thought about it, Tessa was right. She originally could hold it back and stay strong when she was alone, but she certainly would want to cry when she saw him. It was time t
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
