Ruth had already spoken in the most polite way she could. She felt that the way she spoke should more or less be acceptable for her future mother-in-law. However, when Ruth unintentionally glanced at her, she found that her future mother-in-law was not looking at her at all. She was busy looking down at the phone and chatting with someone. Ruth's heart could not help but skip a beat. She was feeling uneasy as she did not know what her future mother-in-law would say about her. However, she could not care about that at that moment. The most important thing at that time was to first settle Hana's matter.Hana woke up two hours later. The doctor said that there was nothing serious, but she had to pay more attention to resting and nutrition.At that moment, Zayn's parents were called over again by Zayn. Zayn's mother was more honest. "What I said is sincere. When I first saw Hana like that, I truly found it very hard to accept. However, I also bear no ill will. I was just thinking, what i
"Aunt Jane, not only did Uncle Alex hand over all the financial power to you, but he even gave you a bodyguard now. I suspect that he did not get you a bodyguard to protect you, it was actually to keep an eye on you so that you can't be snatched away by other men. Look at you now. You're getting prettier and prettier," Ruth immediately said with relief.Ruth always had no filter. It was only in the face of people whom she feared that her inferiority and helplessness would show. Ruth was not afraid of her Aunt Jane anymore, so she was able to speak whatever came to her mind.Jane glared at Ruth with annoyance. "You naughty girl! You can only be so spirited and shrewish in front of a few people like us who are so close to you! If it was someone you're unfamiliar with, you'd instantly become a coward!""Hahaha. Aunt Jane…who is your bodyguard then?" Ruth replied.Jane turned her head around and glanced at that woman who was moving things out of the car and called out, "Isadora?"At t
Jane was speechless. She had never met Holden, but he had heard Sabrina and Sebastian mentioning him. She had also witnessed Sebastian being depressed for a long time because he had lost his younger twin brother. However, never in a million years would Jane expect that Isadora would miss Holden so much. She did not know how to console Isadora.Isadora, on the other hand, told her the whole story. "My mother had been dead for more than a decade, so I no longer feel sad about it since a long time ago. As for my brother, I knew that he actually had never wanted to live. He just wanted to send me back to the country, let me get married and have children, and let me live the life of an ordinary woman. What my brother and I had was familial affection. I also knew that my brother would die sooner or later. I…I have never been in a relationship in my life, but I fell in love with Holden. Jane… Do you know what it's like to be in love? I want to carry his children. I want to spend my life with
Ruth glanced at Jane and both their eyes lit up. Isadora had no friends. If she could still find a friend in this world, then Jane certainly would be more than happy about it. Ruth also felt happy for Isadora. Although that was the first time Ruth had met Isadora, she had heard of her from Sabrina. Isadora was just like her. Both of them were uneducated and had suffered since childhood. Therefore, Ruth felt like cherishing Isadora as she felt that they had suffered the same fate."Who do you want to meet? It's all fine. It's alright. I am very familiar with South City. If you want to meet an old friend, I'll take you there!" Ruth asked in surprise."Yes, Isadora, Ruth can take you to whoever you want to meet.""Yes, I also have a friend named Yvonne Yates. That girl is particularly enthusiastic and she is also a chatterbox. When the time comes, we'll come together and take you to meet your friend. We'll then bring your friend along with us. The four of us can even gather to play c
"She is actually a very honest and straightforward person. She is just a silly girl.'Ruth laughed.Isadora was laughing and that was a rare sight for Jane. Jane was carrying Ricky while Sabrina was carrying Louie. Both of them looked at each other and smiled.Right at that moment, another little child came running out of the car. The little child, Aino, was carrying a huge unicorn in her arms, and she was puffing hard from tiredness. "Gosh, I said I won't carry this unicorn, but my mom insisted on me carrying it. Please! I am already a big girl going to first grade, alright? I don't want to play with this unicorn anymore!"The unicorn that Aino was carrying was as tall as her. Therefore, when she walked while carrying it, she could not see what was in front of her and she also did not see Ruth and Isadora."Aino, since you don't like this unicorn toy anymore, then why are you still carrying it?" Jane asked Aino with a mocking tone.Aino sighed. "It's all for the sake of my brot
Minerva Payne? Everyone was stunned. None of them expected that the person Isadora was looking for was Minerva."What are you...looking for Minerva for, Isadora?" Jane knew what was on Isadora's mind. She was unable to forget Holden.Isadora hung her head. "I had made a trip abroad earlier on and I had brought back some of Holden's belongings. Holden had saved a sum of money for Minerva in his account abroad. He said that was for Minerva's college. He…didn't want Minerva to use anybody else's money for her college tuition."Both Jane and Sabrina took a look at each other and they both felt incredibly emotional. Although Isadora seemed vicious and cold on the surface, she was actually rather gentle and kind in her heart. At the very least, she was not a girl who would be tempted by money.Jane smiled. "Well, then go ahead, Isadora. You and Minerva can also hang out more often in the future."Perhaps both of them could huddle together for warmth this way. Isadora had lost a lover wh
"I have a trauma.""What's wrong?" Ruth asked."It's all because of…Old Master Shaw," said Yvonne with a sigh.Ruth's tone immediately became agitated. "Yvonne, don't tell that the d*mned old man is still very forceful and cares about the status and prestige of families! Could it be that he wanted to object to the marriage of you and my cousin?"Yvonne shook her head. "That's not the case. Old Master Shaw is more honest now. He is also much older now. He doesn't intervene with anything anymore. I often see him running to Gloria's house to sneak a peek at her. In fact, every time I went to the Shaw family's house, the old man would ask me, 'How is Sabrina? How is Aino? Have they forgiven me now?' and so on. I will sometimes find him quite pitiful. However…"Speaking of that, Yvonne sighed. "Every time I think about how cruel he could treat his own daughter, and how he could help an outsider to viciously harm her own granddaughter and almost have her killed, I just….when I see Old M
Minerval was stunned when she saw that Isadora was there. She looked at Isadora politely. "Miss, I…don't know you. Have we…met before?"Isadora originally wanted to find some traces of Holden's dashing appearance in Minerva. However, when she saw Minerva, Isadora was extremely disappointed. Holden was very good looking. Even if he was among a group of men, he would still be a handsome man. Holden's appearance could even be said to be comparable to Sebastian's. Both of them were equally matched, and each of them had his unique characteristics. However, never would Isadora expect that Minerva would be so ugly."What's the matter, miss?" Minerva still asked without being arrogant or humble.An indescribable bitterness suddenly emerged in Isadora's heart. That was a kind of bitterness from never being able to have Holden anymore. Minerva had such an ugly and unpleasant face, but Holden still loved this niece of his so much. That clearly meant that Holden had valued familial affection ve
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
