The staff looked up. “Are you not having an amicable divorce? Is there a property dispute?”“Of course, there is!” Neo said straightforwardly. “She had no one to depend on and had no income! Has she lived in my house for ten years for nothing? I even helped her raise her grandson! Who’s paying all that? Two hundred thousand, and I’m already asking for very little!”The staff immediately glanced at the old lady with contempt. “Is that so?”At that moment, the old lady was already covered in tears. Could she truly not find a place that would listen to reason? If reason could not work here as well, then she planned to just end her life by banging her head on the pillar. She said with a face full of tears, “I want to ask you people who know the law, are we not a family once I have married him?”The staff nodded. “Yes.”“Since we’re already a family, then why does he still want to clearly divide everything with me? He had raised my grandson, and I have lived at his house for more than
“However, I can’t raise my grandson. They were not willing to raise my grandson and said that they don’t have the obligation. I truly regret it very much. I’m only fifty-six now. There should still be people who want me if I were to become their nanny. After my divorce, I’ll find a place that includes meals and accommodation. I'll earn money for my grandson, support his education, and let him grow up to be a man. Am I at fault? I don’t want to be with you. I simply just don’t want to be with you anymore. Is that not alright?”The staff was speechless. He was simply stunned.“Please hurry up and process my divorce!” said the old lady with unparalleled resolution.The staff nodded. “Alright, Ma’am!”He paused then looked at Neo, who was still stunned. “Sir, you were a teacher, right?”Neo glared at the old lady, and then said to the staff, “That’s right! I am an educated person that is very easy to communicate with. Just tell me directly if you have anything to say!”“How much is y
“Ma’am, have you thought it through? Are you truly going to give up such a big sum of money?” The young man felt that it was a pity for the old lady.The old lady was not a person who was greedy for money. She also knew that the staff was just trying to seek justice for her. However, the old lady had already figured it all out within a few minutes. She was alone, and she still had to take care of her grandson in the future. Even if she forcibly took it to court to ask for the four hundred thousand dollars, it was anyone’s guess whether it could truly be executed in the end. She had no energy to take on such a long lawsuit. Besides, Neo had an extensive social network. The accommodation for the faculty members was filled with his colleagues and relatives.However, what about her? Her only son was still in prison. She had no way to truly take back those four hundred thousand dollars at that moment. Since she already knew she could not take that money back, she also did not want to wast
She was truly disgusted by this inhumane thing! Neo, on the other hand, called out behind the old lady “Ceci-Cecilia…you…”He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. As he walked out of the city hall, he seemed to be as old as a seventy years old man. His wife had left him. In the future, he would be left all alone at home, then who would cook for him? Who would take care of him? His children? All of his sons did not know how to take care of others, and their wives certainly would not take care of him. What about his daughters? Was it not highly improper to have his daughters serve him so closely?It was best to have his partner, but she did not even turn her head around and take another glance at him. At that moment, Neo unexpectedly was covered in tears. “Cecilia…don’t leave.”The old lady actually heard Neo’s cry. However, what has that got to do with her? They were already divorced. She would never be anybody’s nanny for free anymore and be scolded by others. From then onwa
Habitual thief?Hana looked at her aunt. “Aunt Cecilia, are you a thief?”Cecilia’s face was flustered when she saw the person who came. “Stefan, it seems that you knew I took the fifty thousand dollars in the house?”Among the people who came looking for the old lady, the person in the forefront was Neo’s eldest son, Stefan. He pointed at the old lady. “You shameless old woman with sticky fingers! You actually stole money from your own house! It’s true that it’s difficult to guard against a thief in the family! Listening to the way you speak, you’re admitting that you stole my father’s fifty thousand dollars?”The old lady blushed but remained calm. “I took it. I didn’t steal it. Indeed, I have taken the fifty thousand dollars from the house.”As soon as she said that, Hana looked at her with her eyes widened. “Aunt Cecilia, you...this kind of thing…how can you do such a thing? How can you be like this?”Stefan sneered. “D*mned old woman! Even your niece is criticizing you this
Even if he was Neo’s biological son, he was not very willing to take care of the old man, especially to help him answer nature’s call. The best way to take care of the old man was to let him have a partner. He did have a partner, and she had only divorced him a month ago. Neo’s children were so furious when they thought of the old lady, who had abandoned their father and even stole fifty thousand dollars from the house, that they desperately hoped that they could let her face the most severe punishment.They had searched for a very long time and had even inquired about the old lady from her neighbors in her hometown. After a month of searching, they finally found the old lady at her niece’s house. Actually, their true purpose was to let the old lady take care of the old man. That way, it would be less of a hassle for the entire Dixon family. However, they also knew that the old lady was very resolute when she divorced the old man, so it was not quite possible for her to return. It so
Moving away was simply just to avoid Stefan and his siblings from coming over again. Hana could tell that the main purpose for them coming over was not to let her aunt pay them back. Although it was not quite honorable for her aunt to take the fifty thousand dollars in the house, she truly did not break the law. Even if they were to go to the police, no one could say that she had stolen the money. The greatest purpose for them to find her aunt was to let her continue taking care of the old man.Of course, her Aunt Cecilia would not leave with them. After ten years of hard work starting from when she was forty-six years old to the year she became fifty-six years old, her aunt was already incredibly old and gray. Those ten years of her life after being remarried had taken a toll on her aunt. She absolutely could not go back anymore.Hana was a very efficient person. They moved out within a day after she said they were moving away. However, after they had just settled in the new house,
In the end, the old lady was so backed into the corner that she was slightly buying into the idea of going with the flow. She turned to Hana. “Why don’t I just go and serve that old d*mned thing?”“Aunt Cecilia, we can always figure something out. The Dixon family is threatening us, and they will not get away with it. In a few days, after I have finished the business at hand, I will accompany you to report the case,” said Hana to her aunt, frowning.The old lady could tell that Hana seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked, “Hana, what happened?”Hana did not hide the matter from her aunt as well, she simply said, “Aunt Cecilia, I have witnessed my daughter, Tessa, following my footsteps. She actually is in a relationship with a man who is ten years older than her. That man is indeed rich, but he is a playboy in South City. He was ignorant and incompetent when he was younger. How can I let Tessa walk into such a dangerous situation? I must stop Tessa.”In the few days aft
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
