"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
While saying those words, Ruth ran to the bathroom in an incomparably wretched manner while covering her mouth. She bent over the toilet and heaved for a long while but she did not throw up anything. After all, she had not eaten anything the whole night before, so she only had dry heaves.Ryan was very confused as he looked at Ruth. "Ruth, you…what's the matter? Have you got food poisoning? What's the situation? What did you eat yesterday?"Right when he asked those questions, Patricia also arrived following behind him. She suspiciously asked Ruth, who was still throwing up. "You…how long have you been like this?"Ruth was still throwing up, and she just could not answer her. Ryan, on the other hand, became even more anxious. He pushed his mother away and said, "Mom! Can you not be so harsh? Ruth is already in this state. Watch the tone when you speak! Why do I feel the reason she is throwing up is that the duration she washed your feet yesterday was too long?"You…" She glared at
"This son of ours is too foolish! How could he make her pregnant? The child to be born certainly will not be of noble birth any more!"Just as Patricia said those words, Ryan already came to the front of her while carrying Ruth in his arms. He looked coldly at his own mother. "If you despise our child for being lowly, then don't be our child's grandmother! I want to let you see how Ruth and I will raise this child with you as the grandmother! I'll tell you as well! My child can also not be a Poole! Do you know Uncle Sebastian's daughter? She is not a Ford, but her last name is Scott instead! In the future, my child's last name can also be Mann! If the child is a Mann, then no matter if the child is noble or lowly, the child will have nothing to do with the Poole family anymore!"After saying that, Ryan headed out, carrying Ruth in his arms.He usually never disobeyed his mother like that. He just wanted to give his mother a scare, so that she would keep her within bounds a little mo
Sabrina was speechless. Both her eyes were widened. It was after a pause that lasted a few seconds long that she regained her senses. After that, she lowered her voice to ask, "What-what did you say?""I am pregnant with twins!" Ruth pursed her lips and her face was still as bitter.Sabrina raised her hands and wanted to smack Ruth. Her hand was already going to land on Ruth's shoulder, but Sabrina lowered it again. She then pinched Ruth's clothes and said fiercely, "You! You're pissing me off! You're pregnant with twins! Twins! Why do you have such a sad expression? I thought you had some condition! You should be happy having twins! You silly head!"Ruth hardly ever acted in a spoiled manner, but she just wanted to do so that day. She had lost her family for almost three years. She clearly had parents. However, not only did they not provide her any affections, but they even almost got her killed. Later on, she learned that they were not her real parents, but they were her uncle and
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
