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
Zayn had never expected that the world would be this small. Hector Caven was unexpectedly Tessa’s father.“Do you know my dad?” Tessa asked in surprise.Zayn was speechless. He knew him but he was not very familiar with him. Zayn had met Hector twice, and he had left a very bad impression on Zayn both times. The first time was when Zayn was about six years old. One year when Zayn’ parents brought to travel outstation to play, they were suddenly threatened by a few of the hooligans. The leader was Hector.At that time, Hector was still very young. He looked like he was in his twenties. He brought about six men and had forced Zayn’s family of three to a desolate place at the tourist attraction. He threatened them, holding a knife. “I urge that you let go of the Smith Group. Otherwise, you will suffer a bad end!”However, what Hector did not expect was that Zayn’s father was not afraid of being threatened. Zayn’s father put his chest against the knife. “I dare you to stab me to death!
However, Hector just could not do it.Hector begged, pestered, and was also unreasonable in front of Zayn’s father. In the end, Zayn’s father indeed had given Hector a million dollars for the sake of him sparing his family’s life. Not only that, but Zayn’s father also had aggressively eradicated that leader’s base overnight with lightning speed. This way, Hector no longer had any worries.Later on, Zayn’s father heard from that leader of the debt collectors that it was Zayne’s uncle and family who wanted to kill them. Hector, on the other hand, was only a pawn being used. Zayn’s father then warned Hector to stop gambling in the future! He has to turn over a new leaf. Sure enough, Hector had never gambled ever since then. However, considering that Hector was not someone with good manners, the Smith family also did not have any more contact with Hector.Almost six years had passed in a blink of an eye. When Zayn met Hector again, Hector already looked quite decent. Zayn had once gone
Hector was startled, but he smiled at Zayn. “Young man, do you know me? You must have come to my store and bought something there. I have never expected you to become my son-in-law, but you have a good eye. My daughter is the cream of the crop. She graduated from a famous college and is currently working in the largest company in South City. I also heard that her boss appreciates her.”“Mister Caven, my name is Zayn Smith. I am the current director of the Smith Group. You should have heard of it, right?” Zayn looked calmly at Hector.Hector had been peeling an onion in his hands. Suddenly, the onion fell to the ground. He glanced at Zayn in horror, and then he immediately fixed his expression. Hastily, he laughed as he looked at Tessa. “You little girl, why did you…not inform me beforehand that you have found a rich boyfriend? You gave me a shock.”Tessa then wrapped her hands around Hector’s neck. “Dad! Although Zayn is the director of the Smith Group, he is just my boyfriend in my
Zayn was speechless. He was so angry that he almost laughed. What on earth was going on?He coldly reprimanded. “Get up! Get up and speak!”Hector did not intend to get up. “Director Zayn, I called you out just to tell you in all seriousness, that I have long repented and turned over a new leaf! Ever since that incident, I have regretted it for a very long time. I fell severely ill. Later on, I no longer gambled. To teach myself a serious lesson, I even severed my pinky.”Hector raised his hand and showed Zayn. Zayn looked closely and noticed that Hector’s pinky had indeed been severed. Zayn said nothing.Hector continued. “Ever since then, I had been diligent and attentive. I took care of my old mother and my daughter. All these years, I have a mother and a child to care for. I have never done anything illegal. If you don’t believe me, you can head to the police to check on my records. I’m just a small trader who abides by the rules. Also, ever since I had my daughter, I also real
Hector sighed again. “Who knows where she has ended up? She was here and there. She did not have a fixed place nor did any honest work! She was a woman who was only active at night, it is such a humiliation to Tessa to have a mother like that!”When Zayn heard what Hector said, he thought about the woman he met outside Ford Group. The woman had a pale face, but she did not have the aura of a flirtatious and debauched woman who works at night. However, Zayn was not sure if that woman was Tessa’s mother.He probed Hector. “How did you meet Tessa’s mother in the first place?”Hector was stunned. “W-What’s your point in asking this?” He clearly looked nervous and a little guarded.Zayn smiled a little. He came clean to Hector. “To be honest with you, Tessa has been harassed recently. I think it’s her mother calling…”“This woman deserves to die! How terrible! I had even thought of killing her!” Hector said suddenly.Zayn was shocked. “What? You want to kill again?”Hector immediatel
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
