Sebastian raised his hand and was about to slap Sean across the face. However, Gloria went in front of him and blocked him. “Sebastian, you can’t slap your father! He is your father!”Sebastian was speechless. Both of his eyes were filled with raging fire. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. However, because Gloria was in between him and Sean, Sebastian could not slap him. Alex was also there at that time. In fact, it was Alex who drove Sean over. Sean came up by himself when Alex was parking the car. Once Sean heard that Aino had safely run back home, he became incomparably excited. He begged Alex to bring him over. Alex had wanted to ask Sean what exactly had happened and how he joined forces with Holden. This was because Alex wanted to find an entry point to rescue Sabrina from that perspective. That was why he brought Sean to Sebastian’s house.Alex looked at Sebastian apologetically. “Sebastian, Mister Ford is your father, after all. Besides, even if hit
Aino bawled her eyes out so hysterically. “Get lost…”Sean was speechless. Right at that moment, two more people came through the door. One of them was Marcus. When Marcus heard Aino’s screams, he immediately ran in with big strides and saw Aino crying hysterically. He then hugged Aino and called out heartbreakingly. “Aino, Aino.”There was another person behind him. It was Old Master Shaw, who was trembling and could not even walk steadily. Old Master Shaw, who had not appeared for a very long time, seemed much older than a year ago. Within that year, his health had not been very good. His relationship with Gloria had eased up a little bit. However, it was just that Gloria would not drive him out anymore. Gloria was still unwilling to address Old Master Shaw as her father.Seeing Old Master Shaw entering, Gloria asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”Old Master Saw looked at Aino heartbreakingly. “I…I just wanted to see Aino. The child…the child is too pitiful.”Aino shouted sh
Sean’s phone fell onto the ground. Everyone was looking at him. Sean turned his head around and looked at Sebastian. He then said with a deep voice, “Your…Your grandpa has passed away.”Sebastian was speechless. Old Master Ford, Henry Ford, had lived a considerably long life. He had lived for a hundred and two years. Even if he had passed away, that would also be considered as passing away of old age. Therefore, all of them who were present were only slightly shocked, and were not overly upset. However, as he was the mainstay of the Ford family in South City, his passing was still not a small matter. The foundation of the Ford family in South City could be described as a large tree with deep roots. Not only did they have connections in South City, but they also had extremely wide connections in Kidon City. Old Master Ford’s passing inevitably would alarm everyone from all directions. Therefore, at that moment, even if Sean wanted to explain further to Sebastian and wanted to beg for A
Aino was just like an adult. Sebastian could not help but choke back a sob when he saw his daughter being so sensible.“Sebastian.” Alex got up and looked at Sebastian. “Sebastian, I know how much you hate the people in the Ford Residence. I also know how much you don’t want to attend your grandfather’s funeral. However, Sebastian, I’m telling you that perhaps this may also be an opportunity.”Sebastian’s eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Alex and signaled him to continue on.At that very moment, the calmest person in Sebastian’s house was Alex. “Your grandfather has passed away so all kinds of people will be coming over when the time comes. You will also certainly be very busy. They will think that you will be less vigilant. Once they think we are less vigilant, they will think that they have an opportunity and could take advantage of it. When the time comes, we will then unknowingly…”“Got it!” Sebastian immediately understood what Alex said. He then said coldly and somberly, “I
In the end, Lily still could not help but laugh. “Sebastian, none of you had ever expected it right? I still could come back, and I came back alive.”Sebastian was speechless. This was truly unexpected for him. Lily had been hunted by Alex initially, but she escaped with the help of Sean and Rose after that. Later on, she thought that she was carrying Holden’s child in her belly, and she almost died being tortured by Holden in the end. At that time, everyone had received Lily’s phone call asking for help. However, everyone thought that she was certainly going to die. No one expected that she could escape from Holden’s clutches, and she could still return to the country.“How did you come back?” Sebastian asked indifferently.“Ha!” Lily could not help but laugh out loud with smug satisfaction. However, she just let out a brief laughter, and she saw a pair of incomparably cold and stern gaze glaring at her. Those gazes were so cold as if they wanted to kill someone. Lily followed the
‘Haha!’ Lily was feeling very smug. She did not even conceal her smugness in front of Sebastian, so naturally, she also would not be having slightest bit of concealment in front of the little child, Aino.However, Aino said bluntly instead, “Mm-hmm. That shows that you are a very scheming person.”“Of course!”“Therefore, it was such an evil strategy of having my Uncle Holden abduct me first, and then trick my mom to go over after that. Was it you who came up with it?” Aino asked as she remained calm and composed.Lily was stunned for a moment. How could this little brat be so smart? Lily got a little exasperated. “What nonsense are you talking about? I hate your Uncle Holden so much! Why would I help him come up with ideas?”Aino sneered. She stood side by side with her father, and she was holding her father’s hand. At that moment, her father did not say anything because her father and Rose were directly looking at each other. Aino knew that at her great-grandpa’s funeral, only h
That woman was speechless. Aino had hit the nail in the head about her goal. She had indeed come to seduce Sebastian. No! It could not be considered as seducing. It was Madam Ford, Rose, who invited her to come over. She had already been in South City for a few days. She just never expected that she would encounter the sudden passing of Old Master Ford.Aino sneered. “You’re not going to say anything? If you remained silent then that’s considered as admitting it yourself, right?”“You!” The woman had a little anger showing on her face, but she did not lash out. She looked at Rose with a slightly angry expression. “Madam Ford, is this your…granddaughter?”After saying that, she looked at Sebastian again. “Master Sebastian, it’s been a long time. Your daughter has already grown up so much?”Aino was speechless. She raised her head and looked at her father with puzzlement.Only then did Sebastian say to Aino, “Aino, don’t be rude to Miss Kemp.”“Dad, do you know this lady named Miss
Maysun did not get angry and she remained smiling. "What I meant is that I am still of noble birth now. My status is even higher than Kidon City's Poole family and South City's Ford family."Aino immediately nodded. "I understood it already. You're saying that your status is higher than our Ford family and also my Uncle Poole's family, and you are from the topmost noble family, which is the Kemp family, right?"Maysun nodded. "That's precisely what I meant. Therefore, little child, you always have to be polite and respectful whenever you're speaking to me because your grandparents and also your father are always respectful in front of me."Aino instantly burst out laughing. "Ha!"Maysun was speechless."My grandparents are respectful to you. Since you have such a high and noble status, then why are you still thinking of stealing my mom's husband and thinking of seducing my dad? Maysun Kemp, you must know that my dad is already married and his wife is my mom. You're such a noblewom
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
