Zayn brushed her off with a smile. “Are you full? If you are, then I'll buy you some bags. After that, I will send you home. It’s getting late.”“Mm-hmm!” Tessa agreed.They exited the steakhouse, and then went to the duty-free shop and bought more than a dozen bags in various styles. Everything that night had cost Zayn almost a million dollars. Tessa could not take her eyes off everything in the shop.Tessa was so happy. When Zayn drove her home, she kept muttering without stopping like a melodious lark. However, that was good as well. Zayn was initially afraid that he would have to drive with fatigue as he was very exhausted that day. With Tessa’s continuous muttering, he was not afraid anymore that he might fall asleep behind the wheel anymore.Zayn left without staying any longer after he had sent Tessa home. However, he found an alley and parked his car after a few minutes since he drove away from Tessa’s house. He sat quietly in the car. Actually, he originally wanted to rest
Zayn walked quickly into the ward and he saw Tessa all covered in tears.When Tessa saw Zayn walking in, she looked at Zayn miserably. “Zayn, you have been tricked by her sweet talking, haven’t you? You have never lied to me. You are such an honest and reliable person, but you didn’t tell me that you were together with her yesterday. Zayn, why?”Zayn sighed. “Tessa, I didn’t tell you because I haven’t found the right time…”“Haven’t found the right time to break up with me, right? No need for that, Zayn. I will not bother you anymore. Let’s break up! Farewell!” Tessa turned and left after saying that.Hana called out weakly on the bed. “Tessa, Tessa…” Seeing that Tessa did not look back, she could not care about anything anymore and she rolled down the bed. “Tessa, Tessa. Listen to me, Tessa…”Zayn had no time to chase after Tessa, he turned around and helped Hana up. However, Hana pushed him away. “Don’t…don’t care about me. Go after Tessa, go chase after her. I am afraid…that sh
‘Are you sure she is not greedy for money?’However, Zayn did not say any of that. He simply consoled Hana. “Madam Sharpe, I know that Tessa is a good girl. I know that. Therefore, Master Zayn, don’t give up on Tessa just because she argued with me. I am the one who has done her wrong. I had given up on her and abandoned her since she was a child. She should resent me. I have made too many mistakes.”Zayn was speechless. It was very difficult for him to believe that the Madam Sharpe in front of him then and the woman at the Ford Group from a week ago, who forbade him from being in a relationship with her daughter, were the same person. It was just a week ago, she was exhausting all the ways to stop him from being in a relationship with Tessa. However, at that moment, she was exhausting all the ways to fix them up. What kind of a mother is this?“Master Zayn, seeing that I have saved your life, be good to my daughter for the rest of your life, alright?” Hana looked at Zayn with a fac
“I’m taking you to get a marriage certificate,” Zayn said.Tessa looked at Zayn in shock. “Za-Zayn, are you…being serious?”“I have not joked with others for a very long time,” said Zayn.Tessa’s tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. “Zayn, I’m…sorry. I have misjudged you this morning. However, why would you be in touch with that woman? That woman…”Seeing that Zayn has a stern expression, Tessa did not continue. She bit her lips. “Have you thought it through about taking me to get a marriage certificate?”Zayn smiled lightly. “Of course, I have thought it through.”Prior to that day, Zayn had never thought about getting married so soon. After all, marriage was a matter that would last a lifetime. He did not wish to get married a second time in his life. He originally wanted to know more about Tessa and see how compatible they are with each other. However, after what Hana said that morning, Zayn had made the decision to marry Tessa. A voice from the bottom of his heart was
“Sebastian, what’s the matter?” asked Zayn.Sebastian did not answer but instead, he asked, “Zayn, you’re here?”“Sebastian, this office is so huge and yet, the smoke is so thick. How many cigarettes have you had exactly? Sabrina had always told me that if I ever see you smoking so badly in the office, I have to stop you. You can’t smoke so heavily. It’s not good for your lungs!” Zayn took a big step forward and snatched away the cigarette in Sebastian’s hand.Sebastian sighed. “How close are you to Sabrina?”Zayn was stunned. Suddenly, he stood up and glared at Sebastian audaciously with a cold and stern gaze. “Ford! Don’t think that I will be afraid of you just because you’re the King of South City, you’re decisive and can kill without even batting an eyelid! I have f*cking pulled through from being on the verge of dying, so I am not afraid of you! There is nothing going on between Sabrina and me! We’re very innocent! If you dare to blame Sabrina just because she and I, as well a
Zayn was startled. Nobody in South City and Kidon City combined dared to speak to Sebastian with that voice, that tone, and that arrogant attitude as the person on the other end of the line. Zayn understood instantly who the other person was on the other end of the line. He patiently called out, “Holden, I…you and Sebastian are twin brothers, so it’s not wrong for me to address you by your name, right?”“Who the hell are you? Get the hell away! Ask Sebastian to answer the call!” The person on the other end of the line still had a dreadfully cold and arrogant tone.Zayn was speechless. He turned his head back and looked at Sebastian. After that, he covered the receiver and called out, “Sebastian…”“Hang up the call,” Sebastian said calmly.Zayn was speechless. There was a pause before he hung up the call. Seeing that Sebastian did not utter a single word, Zayn did not say anything either. He had come in contact with Sebastian quite often during that period, so he more or less unders
“Besides, Aino was also very sensible. I had already explained it to her, and she understood it very well,” said Zayn.“Zayn, it’s still working hours now, but you suddenly came running over. What is on your mind?” Sabrina knew Zayn the best.“I…am going to get a marriage certificate with Tessa tomorrow,” said Zayn.Sebastian was speechless. There was a pause before she asked, “What is the matter that you can’t still let go of?”Zayn replied truthfully, “Sabrina, do you think I’m too stingy? Perhaps I have gotten used to the tough life that we had in the past? Therefore, I can’t stand girls who keep spending my money?”“Tessa spends a lot of money?” Sabrina immediately asked.“She did not spend more than my income, but she had already spent a few million dollars yesterday,’ Zayn said. “Tomorrow, she still wants to…”Sabrina was speechless. She knitted her eyebrows tightly. There was a pause before she said, “Actually, that’s also not a big deal. Which girl today doesn’t like sho
“Have you experienced any major trauma in the past?” Doctor asked Zayn very solemnly.“I had broken my legs before. I went through physical therapy as well as high technology surgery later on, so my legs have recovered now,” Zayn answered.“Then that makes sense. When you had broken your legs at that time, it indirectly affected your…” The doctor stopped mid-sentence, but Zayn understood what he wanted to say.This information was like a bolt from the blue for Zayn. It never crossed his mind that his broken legs would affect that aspect of himself. After all, he had never thought of checking that aspect during his previous health checks. He asked quietly, “Can this…be…cured?”The doctor shook his head. “Nobody dares to promise anything on that. In any case, looking at the numbers, you are infertile.”Zayn was speechless. He turned to look at Tessa, who looked stunned.“Tessa…I’m sorry,” Zayn first apologized to Tessa.The doctor had already left. He was only there to notify them
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
