Eira was speechless. For some reason, Eira felt an indescribable fear. She was afraid of Joy and Brooke. In fact, she was feeling incomparably inferior. She felt so inferior that she did not dare to speak at all. She subconsciously held her father's hand in hope that her father could give her some strength. The moment she held Delmont's hand, she heard Brooke shouted sharply. "What are you doing? Your hand is so dirty. You will dirty my dad's hand! Which family do you come from? How can you be so rude? Can you hold the hand of a stranger?""This…I am not a stranger. This…" Eira stammered.She raised her head to look at Delmont, and he had a very galling expression. He had a very harmonious relationship with his current wife. Both of them had been going through thick and thin together, and it was through their efforts of almost eight years that they got their status at that moment and also have such a huge fashion company. Their family of three were also very happy. Delmont truly did
"That's right! Every life is precious and is worthy of love and care! Quickly, come and apologize to this little girl right now!"Brooke immediately turned to Eira. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been fierce to you. I know that you are very poor and very pitiful. However, no matter how poor you are, you can't call my father your dad. My dad is only mine alone. Nobody else can call him dad. If you are pitiful, then you can call my dad uncle. As long as you don't call my dad as dad in the future, then I will forgive you. Please forgive me too, alright?"Eira was speechless. At that moment, the eight-year-old child's heart was as painful as being sliced by a knife. Tears came pouring down her cheeks. She was crying so badly that she could not clearly tell the other people's expressions. She was crying so badly that she did not know what to do. The eight-year-old child was still unable to deal with the situation in a calm and composed manner. She was very helpless. She was so helpless that
The way the six-year-old Brooke spoke was so innocent. The way she looked with her head tilted and her eyes widened had a pure kind of cuteness.When they heard Brooke saying that, the few workers at the children's store took a look at Eira one after another. They saw a girl who was much taller than Brooke, but she was poorly dressed. Her hair was dirty and greasy, and her body was also dirty. She gave people the feeling that she did not care about hygiene at all. On top of that, Eira was afraid, so both her hands were picking on her fingers, and her nails were full of dirt. When the few workers saw that kind of situation, they instantly looked at Eira with disgust. Eira then became even more afraid. She bit her lips and did not dare to look at anybody."Gosh! Your feet! Your shoes have dirtied our store!" said a worker sharply.Eira immediately took a few steps back as if she had done something wrong. It was fine if she had not retreated, but as she dragged her feet to take a few s
"Alright! The little princess is truly kind. This way, not only will you be able to help this beggar, but you can also help us sell off those unsalable items. You truly are very kind, little princes." The salesperson found Brooke more likable the more she looked at her."I think that I am very kind too," Brooke also said happily.The salesperson started to look for some ugly items while conversing with Brooke. In just a moment, she had found a couple sets. Nobody was willing to help Eira change her clothes, so they let her go to the public washroom to change herself. The little Eira carried the clothes herself and went to the public washroom. She came back after a short while.When they saw her, everyone present was stunned. The eight-year-old child had been very dirty and just looked incomparably ugly. She had washed her little face, and the dirt in her nails were also cleaned by her. She sat at the gutter at the edge of the toilet that was used to wash mops and washed her feet. Af
At that moment, Eira could not be more heartbroken. She had not worn a new pair of shoes in a few years, and that pair of shoes was given to her by her brother. Her brother had had his eyes on a family for a very long time, and once that family had thrown their trash out, her brother went to rummage through the trash and picked up a pair of slightly better shoes for her to wear. She had worn those shoes for two years. Her father did give her a thousand dollars every month, but that had to be used on food and drinks for the whole family. Her brother had to go to school, and her mother could not work, so they did not have any extra money to buy new shoes for her at all.It was such a rare occasion that her dad had spoken for the first time to take her to buy extra shoes and clothes. In the end, her sister stepped on her shoes and dirited it. Eira was so heartbroken that tears came gushing down.Delmont scolded Brooke. "Brooke, you've gone too far!"ADBrooke glared angrily at her fathe
Delmont instantly smiled. "That's my good girl. It's best if you can be understanding. When I got married to your Aunt Joy, your sister was not born yet. She is innocent. From what she understands, I only have her and her mother. She is not quite able to accept other people, so I concealed the fact that you existed. Which means…Brooke doesn't know that you are also my daughter. If she found out, she would be sad. You are different from her because you already knew she existed since she was born. However, Brooke came later, so she didn't know that you existed. Brooke…is also very innocent. Can you understand?"Eira nodded. "I can, Dad.""Mm-hmm. That's my good girl.""Dad," Eira called out."Yes, what's the matter? Do you have any other requests? You can tell me. I will do my best to make it happen for you." Delmont also felt very guilty towards this daughter of his. Eira bit her lips. "Dad, do you acknowledge me as your daughter?"Delmont immediately put Eira in his arms. "Silly
She looked at the family of three. What a happy and harmonious family of three. They were a family while Eira, on the other hand, was truly a beggar. She turned around and left silently.As Delmont was about to tell Eira to go home on her own, she was already gone. The eight-year-old child did not know how to get home by herself. After walking for a very long time, she found a phone booth. After she had persuaded the man in the phone booth with all the reasons she could think of, he finally let her make a call. She did not dare to let the cash in her pocket be exposed as she was afraid she would be robbed. That money was practically the lifeline for her entire family.The call was made to the store downstairs from where Eira, her brother, and their mother were living. Once the call got through, Eira immediately said, "Mister Wilson, could you please help call for my brother?"Her brother went down very quickly and picked up the call. Once he heard Eira was not able to find her way h
"H-hello, I…I am here to deliver lunch to my brother. Am I…disrupting you guys?" The little girl was so frightened that she did not dare to look up. She had never been in and out of such high-end places for being a consumer. She was feeling incomparably nervous.However, the pianist smiled gently. "Do you really like that piece just now?"Eira nodded. "Mm-hmm.""How do you feel after listening to it?" asked the pianist again.Eira became a little less afraid of the pianist. The pianist seemed very gentle, so she raised her head and bravely expressed what she felt. "Well, it feels as if a stream had gently flowed by. It's very…very moisturizing."There were very few adjectives that the child could think of, but her description was spot on. That was because the piece that the pianist had just played was "The Dream of Snow." This piece indeed made others feel such a cheerful and soothing feeling. It truly felt as if a stream had gently flowed past one's side.The pianist bent over s
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
