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
Minerva cried so hard that she was unable to stand up. Ruth and Yvonne, who was next to her, also did not persuade her to stop. They had already seen this several times. Every time her Uncle Holden was mentioned, Minerva would cry like that. She was a girl who valued relationships immensely. Therefore, Ruth and Yvonne already knew this situation would happen, so they just waited for Minerva to be all cried out.However, Isadora did not know. When she saw Minerva in so much pain, she suddenly felt as if she had found someone who understood her. She squatted and supported Minerva, then she called out gently, "Minerva…"It was as if she was very close to Minerva, but in fact, that was the first time Isadora had met Minerva."Don't cry anymore, Minerva…although your uncle is gone, you still have me. I will take care of you!" At that moment, Isadora suddenly felt that she found the hope to live. She had originally always been thinking of taking her own life. However, at that moment, Isad
Sabrina sighed. "That future mother-in-law of yours had given Alex a call today."When she heard those words, Ruth instantly became dazed. She had always been a forgetful person. She had originally been very worried about her own situation. However, because of Isadora and Minerva's matters, she had already forgotten about her own matters. She suddenly recalled it after she was reminded by Sabrina at that moment. The original purpose of Ruth coming to Jane that day was to understand more about her own future mother-in-law."Sabrina, say…what should I do?" Ruth suddenly asked with a sullen face.Even Aino pitied her when she saw Ruth's look. Aino patted Ruth's back. "It's fine, Aunt Ruth. It's nothing. Don't worry. My mother is here to handle everything."Sabrina could not help but glance at Aino. You said your mother would be here to handle everything. Your mother was not almighty! Sabrina took a long and deep breath. "Ruth…""Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sabrina, go ahead. I'll do as you say.
"I know and I understand. Thank you, Sabrina. I will always do as you say," Ruth said with a smile.Sabrina smiled. "Go ahead then. Go and keep your future mother-in-law accompanied. Discuss your marriage as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will prepare a huge gift for you."Sabrina had already prepared the gift she wanted to give to Ruth. It was a commercial property in Kidon City. Sabrina could not afford to give her too huge of a gift. She had used her share in the Ford Group and also her savings from the past couple of years to buy that property for Ruth. What she wanted was to let Ruth, whose family was not powerful, not be looked down upon when she got to Kidon City.After Ruth had parted with Sabrina, Sabrina could not help but worry. She wondered how difficult of a person Ryan's mother was. Ruth, on the other hand, returned to the house she and Ryan were staying in after she left Sabrina's side. That was a small detached mansion that Ryan had bought in South City man
Ruth was stunned. She was a shrew who had never been liked by her parents growing up. After she had grown up, she learned that her parents were not her biological parents, and she was almost tortured to death by her parents. However, Ruth had never washed anyone's feet, let alone serve someone else! She had been in a relationship with Ryan for almost two years and Ryan had always been the one to wash her feet for her instead!'Your son of noble birth, right? He is a young master in Kidon City, right? Noble, right? But your son is the one who has always washed my feet! I have never even washed your son's feet before!' Before Ruth's expression had any changes, she first fiercely cursed like in her heart.Ryan was also stunned. His mother had usually been quite gentle. They had so many maids at home and people whose job was to serve tea and all that sort could be found everywhere in the house. His mother, however, had never asked any of her personal maids to wash her feet before. What w
Ruth just treated it as doing a little something for Ryan. After all, Ryan loved her so much and had washed her feet for her every day.Ruth jogged to take her future mother-in-law's socks and lotion to the front of the couch, then only she went to the bathroom to fill a large wooden bucket with hot water. She then puffed hard while carrying that bucket to the front of Patricia. Seeing her like that, Ryan immediately wanted to lend Ruth a hand, but he was stopped by Ruth. "Don't, Ryan, don't come over. You also knew that I have always been carrying the bucket by myself when I usually wash your feet for you. I can do it. Just sit with Missus Poile and have a chat with her. I myself will be in charge of washing Missus Poole's feet until the end."Her tone had a sweetness to it, so Patricia could not stop feeling happy when she heard it. She smiled while looking at Ruth, then she praised Ruth in front of her son. "Ruth is really easy to teach. I just like such a girl. How great would it
Patricia smiled, looking at Ruth. "Isn't that the case?"Ruth was speechless. Patricia got up and then looked indifferently at Ruth. "Have you ever thought about it? Which young lady from an eminent family, let's not talk about ladies from an eminent family, even if it's just a presentable girl from a decent family, which one of them would be as lowly as you? You're so lowly that you're just like an obedient dog! Are you even the slightest bit like a lady from an eminent family?""You…" Ruth simply wanted to slap this shameless future mother-in-law of hers to death!All the nonsense about being ladylike and having patience! She did not want any of that anymore. She simply wanted to step on this d*mned old hag at that moment! She was so resentful that she clenched both her fists tightly.Just when she was about to raise her hand and punch Patricia on her face, she suddenly heard Ryan shout in anger. "Mom! You've gone too far! Do you know that Ruth usually never wash my feet? I was t
"What did she do instead? She simply just did not like me. If you and your mother's relationship turns sour because of me, I will not be able to bear that. Ruth! I forbid you from saying such words. Have you forgotten how much you liked me back then? You were so madly in love with me and afraid that I would dump you. What's going on now? Are you all capable of being away from me now?"Ruth looked at Ryan as she felt unwilling to let him go. "I love you now as well. I am madly in love with you. However, I have now learned that I need to love myself even more. I am no longer that shrewish and unreasonable woman that I was a few years ago. I am independent and self-reliant now. I have my pride, Ryan."Ruth was very calm when she spoke. Her calmness made Ryan love her more and more. Ryan felt that Ruth was becoming more and more similar to Sabrina. She had that kind of calmness and confidence that was exuding from deep within."Woman! I forbid you to leave me! That's a must!" The man su
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
