Vireo was very confused while looking at this uninvited guest. His vision was very good, so he was certain that he did not know the man. They had never met each other, so Vireo did not know how the man knew his name, was able to find this place, and also say why would he say that Vireo was being a father to someone else's child for nothing. What did he mean? Could it be that the man before his eyes was the child's father?Vireo lowered his head to look at the child. The child immediately hung his head and stomped on the snow with all his might. Vireo could not see the child's expression, but from his action, Vireo could clearly sense that the child was hiding something from him. A sense of foreboding immediately surged through his heart.Vireo looked defensively at the disheveled man across from him. "You, who the hell are you?""Who the hell am I?" the man sneered. His tone was very disdainful. "You're a kept man without dignity and a stinky man from a lowly background! You don't k
"We are very happy! Did you hear me clearly?"Her remark was very angry, but Vireo could tell that she was also saying it out of spite. Vireo then glanced at Mira. Mira got more and more agitated. "Jake! You're in such a down-and-out state right now. How do you, a young master of a noble family, feel about that? I went to your house as a guest and I was scolded by your mother so harshly, and yet, you asked me to apologize to your mother. I have apologized and I was so obedient to you. In the end, you still dumped me just like that. Good! That's very good! You had never expected what happened after that, haven't you, Jake?"Mira threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "Jake! God is truly fair! Your family was actually into money laundering! Your mother deserved to be on death row! She died so miserably! There's also you. Weren't you very talented? Weren't you very domineering? A man of your words? You're absolutely nothing after losing your parent's protection!"You son of a b*
As soon as Jake said that, Vireo and Mira were both stunned. The man who was still crazily resentful earlier on unexpectedly and suddenly became harmless. Both Mira and Jake could not help but look at Jake at the same time. A burst of helplessness started to show on Jake's face, and there was also a rich sense of compromise in that helplessness."Mira, I'm sorry," said Jake. Mira was speechless."I have wronged you in the past. I didn't know how to appreciate you at that time. I treated you as something dispensable. I deserved to die for that. I have received my punishment later on, haven't I? My family is broken. My father got the death sentence. My mother was imprisoned. I was also…"Speaking of that, Jake smiled bitterly. "I was also almost killed. I did not die, but I can no longer have children anymore. I just barely got to keep my life."Jake took a long sigh. "Mira, I am hateful. Not only do I hate you for not saving me while I was dying, but also for pushing me over the edg
She had never taken all that Vireo had done for her seriously. It was the same as how Jake had treated her back then.At that moment, Mira held the six-year-old child in her hand, and step by step, she walked towards Jake in an enchanted manner. "Jake, are you…are you telling the truth? You will love me and my child? You will never…abandon us again?"Jake nodded solemnly. "Yes! Of course! I am already in such bad shape, so of course, I'll keep my word. I also want to tell you that even though my father received the death sentence and my mother is imprisoned, some of my family's properties are still there. Not only that, but my family more or less has some connections. After you married me, I absolutely will not be like your current man, who is obsequious and also a kept man. Mira, I know that you don't like kept men. You just didn't have a choice back then, right, Mira? He…"When he said that, Jake suddenly pointed at Vireo. During that time, Vireo had inquired plenty about Vireo. F
When the family of three, who was originally immersed in happiness, suddenly heard that cold and eerie voice behind them, the three of them could not help but shudder at once. At the same time, the three of them turned around and looked at Vireo, who had a calm expression. They were all stunned. They were too engrossed and too excited, so they had completely forgotten about Vireo. Mira, in particular, had always thought that Vireo had endless tolerance for her."Vireo…" Mira had an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Vireo. I know that you love me, but I…" She did not continue any further, but instead, she changed the topic. "Vireo, you're such a skilled doctor, you're so young and so talented. If you were to find a woman again, it'll still be very easy. That…that college girl really likes you very much. Now…I agree for you two to be together."What she said seemed like she was giving a handout to Vireo.Vireo gently shook his head. "Mira, you didn't seem to understand my words.""V
Therefore, as soon as the child saw Jake, he knew that his biological father had come looking for him.The child had suffered too much in the past six years. He had been longing to have his parents. He instinctively was able to become close to Jake and like him, the six-year-old child was contemptuous to his adoptive father who had taken care of him for half a year. This kind of contempt made the remaining bit of compassion for the child in Vireo's heart vanish without a trace as well. Without any hesitation, Vireo drove that scalpel straight towards the child's neck. However, never in Vireo's wildest dream would he have expected that Jake's reaction was so fast when it was such a close call.Ever since his family had fallen, Jake had no other abilities, but his ability to flee for his life was top-notch. Speed was key when it came to fleeing for life. He had to run fast and reach out his arm fast. Therefore, right when the scalpel in Vireo's hand was just a millimeter away from poki
Vireo's hand only hesitated for just a moment. He turned his head back and looked at the police officer, who was aiming at him, then he smiled coldly. "Fine. Kill me then."The police officer was speechless.Vireo no longer looked at the policeman anymore. He glared at Mira as if he had already been possessed. He had no intention of staying alive. He simply wanted to let this woman receive the harshest punishment possible. He raised his hand and viciously drove it down again. Right when the scalpel was only a centimeter away from Mira's aorta, Vireo was shot. The scalpel instantly slipped off his hand. After Vireo looked at the hole in his chest with his eyes widened, he slowly fell over.A few seconds later, Mira was saved. Vireo, who was injured, was pinned to the ground by a few police officers and he was instantly captured. Killing someone in public was too terrible of a behavior. It was fortunate that the person who was holding the gun was not an executioner, but was a kindhear
Because Vireo had adopted a child in the provincial capital during that time, he had not gone back to visit his parents, grandparents, and also his three sisters for half a year. The entire Payne family had plenty to complain about Vireo. When they called him on the phone, Vireo would brush them off. Therefore, the Payne family just came straight to the provincial capital in a Beauick without even calling ahead. They came to question him. Not only that, but the Payne family also felt that a huge part of the reason Vireo was more and more indifferent to the Payne family was that his wife, Mira, was coming between them. Therefore, the entire Payne family was here to question Mira.Right when their car arrived at the intersection before going into the house, the Payne family saw both Mira and an unfamiliar man hugging a child. It was easy for anybody to have wild ideas when they saw that scene."Mira Turner! You wh*re! You're the daughter-in-law to the Payne family!" Chloe pointed at Mi
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
