People were stepping out of their cars continuously, each dressing in a more luxurious outfit than the one before them. Though it was undeniable that these are people of power, they were all jittery in Sebastian 's presence. Zayn glanced over and saw a few new faces, as well as some familiar ones. These were all individuals with influence across various fields in Ciarrai County. To think that they had all gathered in his yard just so they could suck up to Sebastian, that was enough proof as to how tremendous Sebastian 's power was.Sebastian scanned the crowd emotionlessly, like a kind staring down on his subjects, as he said in a cold indifferent tone, "unfortunately, I am only here to handle some personal affair. I do not have time to socialize."The crowd was instantly silenced while Kingston stepped out. "All of you are expected to leave within five minutes!" He barked."But..." One of the more courageous men asked hesitantly, "when will we be given the opportunity to treat Mast
"Of course I know what I should call you!" Aino's eyes betrayed her fearless tone and showed how afraid she was of the man before her."?" Sabrina snapped her head over to look at her daughter in shock, even Kingston who was standing by the door had his eyes widened in surprise."Could the little princess know instinctively that this is her father?" He thought."I am calling you stinky bum! You stinky bum, give me back my uncle, where did you take my uncle?? Take me on, you stinky bum!" Without any warning, Aino darted towards Sebastian , launching any form of attack possible for a five year-old. She kicked and she punched, biting and tearing fiercely as she did. Despite being a young child, the girl had a fire within her that only burnt hotter when she was angry. Powered by the frustration, she kicked and jabbed at Sebastian's legs with incredible strength. Within a blink of an eye, the branded shoes Sebastian wore that were worth over hundreds of thousands were horribly deformed u
Kingston's leg almost gave in at her plea."Mrs. Ford, please stop saying that! You won't die, neither will the little princess, the master has come all the way here to..." He blurted frantically."Kingston!" Sebastian roared, interrupting Kingston before he could finish. Kingston immediately clammed his mouth shut. Aino, who was crying, was startled into silence and tightened her arms around her mother's neck."Yes, Master Sebastian?" Kingston asked gingerly."Get someone to proceed with taking over all real estate operations owned by Neil Johns. As for Neil Johns, have him sent off somewhere foreign!" Sebastian deadpanned."Yes, Master Sebastian! I will get on it immediately! But...where shall we send Mr. Johns to?" Kingston asked."Whichever country is furthest from the South City! “Sebastian commanded.Both Kingston and Sabrina were at loss of words at the unreasonable order.Sabrina swallowed her anger and tried her best to remain composed as she looked at Sebastian , "all
"..." Sabrina was taken by surprise to hear Sebastian asking for Aino to call him daddy, a bitter smile appeared on her lips, "so, you do consider her as your daughter?""I'm not blind!" Sebastian snapped his head back to glare fiercely at Sabrina and turned back to Aino once again, his tone gentle, "say daddy.""You are not my daddy, you are Stinky Bum! You are the guy my mommy is most afraid of, you..." the five year-old, very creative Aino studied the worsening bruise around Sebastian’s eye and blurted out, "you are a half-blind panda!""..." For a moment, Sebastian was rendered speechless as to how wild his daughter's imagination went.Sabrina dragged her daughter into her arms, cupping Aino’s cheeks softly and said, "my darling, behave. You don't want to make this man angry, listen to mommy." Unsure of how far Sebastian would be willing to tolerate Aino, it terrified her that he might decide to send her daughter flying at one point. She hadn't a clue as to why Sebastian was try
Sarina was stunned. At that moment, Sabrina finally understood. Sebastian was going to take Aino away after all, and she also had to follow him back to South City. “Are you going to slowly torture me?” asked Sabrina. The man intriguingly looked at her. “What do you think?”Sabrina staggered and took a step back.She then sneered. “No matter how you torture, it’s all meant to be. After all, not many men in entire South City would dare to offend such a noble and distinguished man like you, but I messed up your wedding.There are probably more than that, right?A woman such as myself, who came out of prison and had uncertain relationships with several, was pregnant with your child. To you, that is equivalent to a great shame. How can you let me off so easily?”The man sneered, “You are so smart! Give me the daughter!”“What?” said Sabrina.“From now on, your daughter is my hostage, so let me carry her!” Sebastian looked at Sabrina with no expression, and then looked at Aino w
“What are you doing?!” Sabrina sat up in shock.Sebastian’s voice was incomparably cold. “It’s your business if you’re sick! However, before you clear your debt with me, you better ensure that you are healthy!”Sabrina was speechless.She turned her face and saw that Aino, who was asleep just now, had already woken up. The child was sitting in between him and her. If people who do not know the situation saw them now, they would truly think they are a family of three.Aino goggled at the air with her big round eyes as if she was thinking about something on her mind.After Sebastian said that, he glanced at Sabrina and Aino again, then leaned back and shut his eyes. He should be wanting to rest for a while. Sabrina let out a sigh of relief.Just when Sabrina wanted to carry Aino into her arms, she was shocked to see that Aino had already crawled onto Sebastian’s lap and Sebastian did not open his eyes. He let Aino crawl onto his lap as she wished.Aino saw that Sebastian did
At the same time, Selene also saw Sabrina. They have not met for six years. The Selene now was bejeweled from top to bottom and was exuding a sense of extreme luxury.She was dressed particularly like a wealthy noblewoman.Sabrina sneered in her heart. ‘What an inevitable encounter.’She looked at Selene with a cold sharp gaze. That gaze was almost as if she wanted to kill Selene. If it were six years ago when she was still in prison, although she hated the Lynn family, Sabrina would not have looked at Selene as an enemy the same way she did now. However, now, Sabrina took Selene and the entire Lynn family as her enemy.Her mortal enemy!In the past, Selene committed a crime at that time, but the Lynn family framed Sabrina and sent her to prison. Furthermore, Lincoln tricked Sabrina to spend a night with a dying man. That man was in fact Sebastian, but the Lynn family did not tell her after she was released from prison, but they framed her time and time again instead. That w
One of them even pointed at her and commented, “It’s her, that’s her.”“Gosh, Master Sebastian finally found this woman!”“The culprit! Finally, was captured by Master Sebastian.”“There are no possible escapes for this woman now.”“She deserved it! Back then, she brought disaster to so many young men from well-known families, and she even wrecked Master Sebastian’s wedding. This incident directly led to the miscarriage of the child in Miss Selene’s belly.”“This time this woman is back, both the Ford and Shaw family will not spare her!”“I would like to witness with my eyes how she dies!”“Master Sebastian would definitely skin this woman alive!”“Skinning her alive would be considered quite a light punishment. Just watch. Master Sebastian would not spare her easily.”The few people cursed at Sabrina. Aino saw these people attacking her mother at the same time, she then hid in fear in front of her mother’s legs and hugged them with both her hands.Nigel asked plainly and dul
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
