Malvolio looked at Eira in puzzlement. "You…what is that?"Eira opened the bag. "Malvolio, look."The bag was filled with shiny gold and silver jewelry. Malvolio immediately thought of something. "Eira! Tell me, did you do something bad out there?"Eira smiled. "Malvolio, why don't you try and think. Even if I wanted to do bad things, where can I go to do it? If I wanted to rob a jewelry store, how can I do it when I am still at such a young age?"Malvolio thought that it made sense. After all, his sister was still a child. He softened his tone and asked, "Then, where did you get all this jewelry? Are these real? They are toys, right?"Eira shook her head. "No, my dad…Delmont was the one who had given these to me."Eira’s mother spoke up, trembling and in tears. "Malvolio, Malvolio, you absolutely can't let that d*mn man snatch your sister away. You have to listen to me. I am not crazy. I am not crazy. Do you believe me, my son?"Back then…back then when that man wanted to divor
"All these are things that he should be giving me! With these gold and silver jewelry, we can exchange them for money. We can help to pay the medical expenses for the grandmother next door and we can buy medications for our mother. Otherwise, we will not have any money to compensate them! They will report us, and then capture Mom and send her to a psychiatric hospital!"Malvolio instantly stopped in his tracks. His sister was right. After he thought it over, he took out a women's watch, turned around and handed it to the family of the grandmother next door. "Is this enough?"He had always been living in poverty, so he had no idea that that kind of watch was worth more than three hundred thousand dollars. The other party was surprised once they took a look at it. "Eira, it was your father who had given it to you, right?"Eira was stunned for a moment. After that, she immediately regained her calmness and nodded. "Mm-hmm.""Alright, alright! Just this watch will do! We're even from n
Eira shook her head and tried to remain calm. "I-I don't know what are you here for. What are you doing at my house"Joy sneered. "Eira, would you rather take me into your house, let me have a sit and discuss this matter over in front of your mother, or would you rather follow me out to talk about it?"Eira shook her head."I'm not going anywhere. Aunt Joy, just hurry up and go back. Don't you have to go to work?""I don't need to! Because my daughter was injured and she is still in the hospital now! Not only was my daughter injured, but my house was also robbed! My house was robbed of millions of dollars worth of gold and silver jewelry!" Joy deliberately put an emphasis on the word "robbed.""Little b*tch! Do you know what robbery means? Robbery has a heavier penalty than stealing! Robbery is punishable by death!""No…I don't want to! I don't want to die…" Eira was instantly frightened that she cried. However, she did not dare to cry out loud as she was afraid that she would wake
Delmont walked out from the car nearby. Seeing Eira being stepped on by Joy, Delmont did not have the slightest bit of sympathy at all on his face. Eira, on the other hand, was sobbing very hard when she saw Delmont. "Dad…"It was just yesterday that her father said he wanted to treat her to dinner, and he even wanted to get her custody back, so her father should be loving her. However, what was the matter with her father at that moment?Delmont looked at Eira with disgust, and he raised his foot and kicked her. Only then did he say, "How could you be so vicious at such a young age? You actually scared your sister into such a state?""I…I didn’t," Eira said.Hearing Eira saying that, Joy suddenly bent over to pick Eira up. She then raised her hand and slapped Eira across the face. Eira's front tooth instantly came loose."You're still arguing!" Joy was incomparably furious. "Eira, you fool! You only knew to trick our entire family. After you tricked us, you came to our house to st
She was just a ten-year-old child, so how could she understand the intentions and the world of adults? From Eira's understanding, it was just being beaten by Aunt Joy, or if worse comes to worst, she just had to be on all fours in the Steven family's yard and learn to bark like a dog. Other than that, she could be asked to kneel on the floor for Brooke to ride her like a horse and let the entire Stevens family to call her a little beggar. It was fine! It did not matter! Eira could endure it as long as she was not sent to prison. She did not want to be imprisoned. She was not scared out of wits for herself, but for her mother. If she were to be imprisoned, the neighbors certainly would scold her mother even more. They would say that her mother did not teach her daughter well, her daughter was a thief and so on. If that was the case, her mother's crazy condition certainly would worsen. If she was imprisoned, then who would be the one to take care of her mother? Just her brother alone? He
"Don’t! Don’t come over. Don’t snatch my dad away from me… Dad, save me. Dad, Mom, quickly come save me. This little beggar is the devil. She wants to snatch my dad and mom away…"The child helplessly cried and shouted while she was unconscious. Delmont and Joy were deeply heartbroken when they saw that. Joy even immediately wanted to kill Eira! Both the couple did not know what happened. After Brooke was given sedatives to let her sleep quietly, the couple went home to check on the surveillance.It did not matter if she had not seen the surveillance, but after she had seen it, Joy simply went crazy. She pointed at Delmont and cursed. "Delmont Stevens, you b*stard son of a b*tch! This is your daughter! Your good daughter! They say it's hard to prevent a thief in the family, and that is true! Your daughter is not just a thief in the family. She simply is here to ruin our family! She wanted to murder my daughter! Murder!"Speaking of that, Joy went up to Delmont to hit him. "We've bee
Delmont and Joy had never expected that Eira would refuse. The couple glared at Eira together.Eira's face turned even redder. "I…I still haven’t turned sixteen."She was still a few years shy of turning sixteen years old. She was just a child, how could they let her do such a thing? No! They could ask her to do anything. She could accept having asked to bark like a dog, meow like a cat, be beaten, cursed and chained. However, she absolutely could not agree with what her Aunt Joy had said."I won't go!" Eira retreated in incomparably fear.She was already in her early adolescence. She was no longer ignorant about everything. Once she thought of that kind of scenario, she felt that that certainly was an abyss. That made her more terrified than being imprisoned and being sentenced to death. Therefore, she certainly could not go."Won’t go?" Joy sneered. "Go ahead and retreat all you want. Run back home."Eira was speechless."Eira, there are surveillances everywhere inside the Ste
Eira was at the point where she would not even cry anymore. Her mind was completely blank as she followed Joy into Delmont's car. Her father's car was really luxurious and the seats were so soft. However, at that moment, Eira no longer had the mood to experience all that. She felt that her heart had died.Joy was very generous that day. She bought Eira the prettiest and most fashionable princess dress and also a pair of leather boots, and she even let Eira wear a pink wool sweater that looked very cute. Eira, who was freshly dolled up, looked very pretty. She was as pretty as her sister, Brooke. She even had more of a lovable feeling compared to Brooke. Even Joy was stunned by her, let alone others. Just for one moment, Joy actually also felt torn, but it was only for a moment. A voice deep inside Joy told her that this vicious little devil did not deserve her sympathy. Her daughter was almost killed and her house was almost ransacked by this little devil. Therefore, to let this littl
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
