Aunt Lewis and Zayn walked through the door at the same time. “What’s the matter?”Zayn took a step forward. “Sabrina, what’s the matter? Who were you arguing with? I was so frightened! I can hear you shouting angrily through the door!”Zayn looked at Sabrina with an extremely concerned expression. Sabrina was still holding the phone in her hand. On the other end of the line, Holden asked, “Who came?”“My brother,” said Sabrina.“Is that the playboy who had almost ruined you seven years ago?” asked Holden.Sabrina’s kept her tone calm. “My brother has never ruined me. Don’t spew nonsense.”“He didn’t, but that man who almost cost you your life was his friend, Nigel Conor! He is also not a good person! Speaking of the two of them, I hate Sebastian even more! How many grievances had Sebastian put you through seven years ago? You were harmed by others in South City, but had he even cared whether you live or die? Sabrina, you’re pregnant again now. See for yourself! Sebastian still w
Holden was speechless. Before he could react in time, Zayn had already hung up the call. He huffed in anger and told Sabrina. “Don’t pick up the call from this kind of person in the future! Block his number directly when you see it! This is not a local number, so you can tell at a glance. Why did you pick up his call and let yourself get angry?”Sabrina did not tell Zayn that the person calling was Sebastian’s younger brother, after all. He was Sebastian’s twin younger brother, who was also Grace’s other family. Grace did not get to meet her youngest son before she passed away. That kind of regret, discontentment, and misery was something only Sebastian and Grace knew. Even such a vicious and cold man like Sebastian had been making concessions for this younger brother of his, so how could she not understand her husband?However, at that moment, Sabrina did not say anything to Zayn. Her eyes were fixed on Zayn without blinking, and she asked in a very uneasy tone. “Zayn, you…what did
The door opened. The people who came in were Aino, who was in tears, and Sebastian, who had a on solemn expression. Aino pushed open the door and ran towards Zayn. She jumped into Zayn’s arms in an instant. “Uncle Zayn, I’m sorry…”Zayn was speechless. At that moment, Sebastian walked up to Zayn. “I already know.”“What did you know?” Zayn asked.“This afternoon, Tessa came to the company and handed in her resignation. She resigned in a hurry, and she did not even want this month’s salary. She just left. Kingston stopped her and asked why, was it related to you, and did you dump her? In the end, she sneered. ‘Even if a mountain full of gold and silver was placed in front of me, I also could not live my life like a grass widow without consummation!’”Seeing Zayn’s uneasy expression, Sebastian softened his tone. “What did the doctor say to you? Did he say it’s not curable for life?”When he saw Sebastian, Aino, and Sabrina were all looking at him at once with a guilty and caring exp
Zayn was also going to give one portion to his sister. However, he felt like something was wrong. What if his sister has several children in the future? What if Sabrina gave birth to more children after that? Well, he could not divide it like that. While Zayn was thinking back and forth on the matter of how to distribute his property, he fell asleep. He slept very soundly that night.The following day, he woke up at daybreak. He became more spirited than the day before. He got out of bed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and rushed to the hospital after eating his breakfast in a hurry.When he got to the hospital, Zayn saw that the bed was empty and was quite shocked. He immediately called the nurse over and asked where the patient was in the bed. The nurse was also stunned at that time.Where was the patient? Why was the patient was gone?At that moment, Zayn saw Cecilia walking in with her face covered in tears.“Madam Cecilia, where is Miss Sharpe? The doctor hasn’t released
Tessa's hand was sore from slapping Hana. She shook her hand several times in annoyance. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Hana fiercely as if Hana was not her mother but just another woman who did all kinds of evil things.Tessa did not shy away from cursing in front of so many people. “Hana Sharpe! You shameless woman! How shameless you must be? Slapping your face is already going easy on you! I slap your face to let you know you are a shameless thing! Hana Sharpe, you have to remember this! You are not my mother. You’re never going to be my mother! Not for the rest of your life! Also, you want me to return the money to that castrated man? Yet, you said that you’re not thinking of that castrated man? If you’re not thinking of him, then why do you want me to return the money to him? Even the castrated man himself did not ask me to return the money to him, but you came running over to order me to pay him back?Tessa spat. “Hana Sharpe, who are you to him? Who are you to me? Who a
Hana blushed instantly. “I’m sorry, Mister Smith. I want my daughter to return the money to you. It’s very embarrassing to be taking so many things of yours when both of you have already broken up, but now…” She smiled bitterly, then with an extremely gentle tone, she uttered the following three words, “I am sorry.” After saying that, she turned around and walked off.“Where are you going?” asked Zayn.Tessa was stunned. Hector, who was looking on in the crowd, was also stunned. The crowd onlookers at the scene were also stunned. They only heard Hana say, “I will never ever come here again. I will never try to have Tessa acknowledge me as her mother again. From now on, I will never care about Tessa Caven anymore. In the future, I will never come to look for Tessa again even if my body gets taken away by dogs when I am dead.”Hana was truly heartbroken. Her daughter was already twenty-two years old. Never mind that she did not understand her mother, but she had actually continuously
Not only was Hana stunned after hearing Zayn say that, but even the crowd of onlookers, Tessa, Hector were all stunned at that same time.Tessa was the first to regain her senses. “Zayn Smith! What did you say? You want to marry her? This b*tch! You can’t marry her! You can’t!” She looked at Zayn with incomparable resentment.Zayn turned his head back and looked at Tessa. “Miss Caven, I think you don’t have any right to give orders to anybody! You don’t have the right to take your hand and point at your mother like this! Also, as her daughter, you shouldn’t have the right to intervene with whatever your mother wants to do, right?”Tessa was speechless. Zayn’s outright condemnation left Tessa at a loss for words. Zayn did not have to reprimand Tessa. He had just resolutely made the decision in a split second that he wanted to marry Hana. It was as if he saw that two miserable hearts would be connected together. He just wanted them to hold each other and keep each other warm.Once ag
It was just wishful thinking on Hana’s part. She had always felt that she still had a daughter, so for all the difficulties and work that she had to go through, she would have her daughter to back her up. However, what happened in the end? Her twenty-two years old daughter had slapped her twice, and those slaps had severed all of the familial relationships between a mother and a daughter. Hana no longer had a daughter.Hana needed something for her to lean on. A place where she could lean against and rest. It so happened that Zayn also needed a place for him to nurse his wounds. Hana was extremely happy with the fact that the two people, who were hurt and incomplete, could end up together.“Zayn, don’t you think I’m too old? I am already forty years old.”“You’re very beautiful.”“But I…”“I know. I am infertile, but we can adopt a child. No! We can adopt about five children. With my financial abilities, we can afford to raise them. After we adopt the children, you can just stay a
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
