Especially those three months. She was dragged into the elite community of the South City as a plaything for men from wealthy families and almost got herself killed in the process. Three months was enough for Sabrina to swear off believing in true love and above all, she wanted nothing more to do with wealthy men. She only wished to live in peace with her daughter and Zayn here in this country for the rest of her life, and nothing more.Sabrina hesitated for a moment before answering, "Director Johns, I sort of have my hands full over here. Excuse me but I will have to hang up for now."Sabrina hung up and swiftly got onto the scooter with her daughter. As soon as they arrived back home, Aino darted into the house screaming "Uncle, uncle!" along the way.Zayn heard them and wheeled himself out. "Oh dear, here comes our precious little beauty Aino. Will you tell your uncle just who was it that you beat up today? Did they lose a tooth or two?" he asked playfully."Brother," Sabrina s
Sabrina turned around to find the developer of her current construction project, the proprietor who had contacted her earlier, Neil."Director Johns, what brought you here?" Sabrina asked humbly as she looked steadily at Neil.Neil was dressed in an exquisite suit that emphasized on his handsome features and athletic figure. His looks along with the fortune he held had made him one of the most eligible bachelors in the county with countless girls dying to crawl their way into the wealthy developer's heart. Had Sabrina run into a caring man like Neil back when she was studying in college three years ago, she might have been moved. But after everything, Sabrina only wanted to live her life in peace with her daughter and her brother."I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have returned home, I thought I could come over to check on you." Neil lifted his hand that was holding the basket of fruits and flowers and explained, "I bought them for your daughter and your brother, do a
After dinner, Sabrina decided to spend the night reviewing the blueprint for the construction, while Zayn tugged Aino in and read her story books. The two were overjoyed in each other's company and Sabrina would take a peep at them from time to time, feeling like everything was right in the world.The next day after breakfast, Sabrina went to have a discussion with Zayn."I'm going to go back to Aino's kindergarten to proceed with the procedures of having her transferred, and look for a different kindergarten elsewhere. Maybe it's best to keep our distance with people like Mr. Sullivan, they are far too powerful for us to risk being in conflict with them, we might as well just avoid them altogether.""Sure," Zayn nodded in agreement.Having reached a consensus, Sabrina was just about to head out when she saw two men standing outside the fences and were about to knock on the door. The two men were dressed in official attire with briefcases in their hands."Hi, can I help you?" Sabr
Sabrina’s voice was so low that it was barely even a whisper that no one beside her could hear, and was more like a faint sound that was emitted from the depth of her throat. Every muscle on her body tensed uncontrollably at the man's presence. It had been six years and the intimidating aura on him seemed to have only thickened since she last saw him. Without even saying a word, he could bring the most strong-willed people down to their knees. The Sullivan family lost every last strand of their previous arrogance the moment he stepped in, and immediately fawned over the man."Mister...Mr. Ford, what brought you here? This...this injury on my back isn't really that bad," Mr. Sullivan smiled humbly at Sebastian , stuttering as if he was at complete loss of words. His wife nodded frantically by his side, not daring to utter one single word.Surprisingly, their son Leo seemed familiar with Sebastian and called out to him, "uncle!""Mm-hm," Sebastian responded in a low tone."Skank!" Le
Where could they possibly run to? Tears welled up in Sabrina's eyes as she bit down on her lower lip to anchor herself from the drowning despair and refused to look at Sebastian."My friend here earns over a million each day! He will be stuck in the hospital for a week, and you are saying that five million is too much of an amount as compensation for the loss income and expenses for his recovery?" Sebastian continued."..." Sabrina remained silent."If it's up to me, I would say ten million is the appropriate amount!" Sebastian claimed indifferently."Oh my, Mr. Ford, thank you, thank you so much! You are absolutely right, they should compensate ten million for our loss!" With Sebastian 's support, Mr. Sullivan had only grown more righteous.Despite being a child, Leo too was very observant and immediately turned to smile sweetly at Sebastian , "thank you, Uncle Ford.""Hmph! You can find yourself a hundred uncles and I am still not afraid of you, this doesn't change the fact tha
In the face of the majestic man, Aino who had been fearless, fretted for the first time. She had seen this man before on her mother's computer, and her mother would always sob in silence late at night when she was all alone looking at this man's photo. To a five year-old child, Aino could only interpret her mother's tears as a result of fear towards the man, and it was only natural for a child to fear what their mother feared. Frightened, Aino dared not to answer and backed up a few steps.Leo, who was behind Sebastian, was increasingly impatient and screamed, "Uncle Ford, kill her! Kill Aino Scott!"Just as both Zayn and Sabrina were stunned like deer in the headlights, Aino seemed to have finally gathered up the courage to speak."Can you let go of my mommy?" She asked."What?" Sebastian scowled in confusion."My mommy is scared of you, she always cries whenever she sees you. If you let go of mommy and uncle, I will let you kill me," Aino met Sebastian's eyes nervously.The fiv
"Mommy, I don't want you to die..." Sabrina's words immediately brought Aino to tears."Director Ford! I have no use with her life, just how much would a skank's life worth? I want my ten million! Exactly that, not a penny less! She can sell a kidney or sell whatever she has to offer on the streets for all I care, and pay me what she owes me together with interest! However long it takes, even if it takes her entire life!" Mr. Sullivan shouted mercilessly at the sight of both Sabrina and Aino breaking down in tears.It was precisely that moment that the doctor in charge of treating Mr. Sullivan came in to find the room packed with people, the doctor scowled in disapproval at the noises."This isn't the right place to discuss further on the ten million here, it's going to affect the patient's recovery and distract the doctor from his tasks. Where do you live? Let's take the discussion over there!" Sebastian commanded.Kingston could barely hold back his laughter by placing a hand ove
"I knew something was off when Sebastian Ford came looking specifically for a Section Head like me, instead of going to the filthy rich when he first arrived in the Ciarrai County. I had thought that maybe he was taking my brother's connection to the mafia into account, but now I'm guessing that has nothing to do with this," Mr. Sullivan mumbled as he tried to calm himself, "Ford probably knows that our son goes to the same kindergarten as Aino Scott.""Well then, why would he join hands with us to bully his own daughter?" Mrs. Sullivan was puzzled, still."Do you even know anything at all??" Mr. Sullivan roared and instantly silenced his wife from questioning him any further. Mr. Sullivan then proceeded to grab his son's hand and started his way out, all the while barking, "we need to go home immediately to pack and run for our lives. Hurry!""I don't want to!" Leo screamed and cried along the way, "Aino Scott still hasn't kneel to me! I want to beat her! I want her to admit defeat
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
