Sean was stunned at first. Following that, he was covered in tears. "Holden, no, no, no, you're Vireo. Vireo, I…I am your father.""Father?" Vireo sneered. "Do you admit that I am your son?""Of course, I do. Not only do I admit that you're my son, you even have a share in the Ford Group. Isn't that right, Sebastian?" said Sean, and then he turned his head and glanced at Sebastian.Sebastian then nodded to Vireo seriously.However, Vireo sneered. "Who gives a fuck? Let me ask you, who would want your shares? Forget about your shares, I don't even want your blood!""Son, do you despise me that much?" Sean asked."Since you only wanted to be my father and insisted on acknowledging me as your son, then as your son, let me tell you this! From today on, please keep an eye on the lower half of your body! If you truly can't control it! Then, cut it off and feed it to the dogs! Clearly, you're the motherfucker who has harmed women! As a result, she was pregnant with your child, but you a
After Sean had cried for a while, he laughed in a miserable. "Who would have known that being alive was worse than being dead for me? I'm suffering in a living hell. I am in a living hell, but I can't blame anybody for it. I had brought it onto myself. However, Vireo…"Speaking of that, Sean raised his head and looked at Vireo. "Vireo, I am a sinner. I deserved to be punished severely. If I should be burned and thrown into the deepest ends of hell, I would accept it. I deserved all that. However, what about your mother? Look at how thin she is. She is almost sixty years old, but she still has to chop firewood while being on this mountain. Could it be that you want her to chop firewood here by herself when she is seventy years old? What had she done wrong? What mistakes does she have? Could you bear to let her remain here in the house of worship for the rest of her life, and let her collect water and chop firewood in this forest deep in the mountains when she is seventy?"After hearin
Vireo looked at his mother with his face covered in tears. "That's right, Mom. You have a backer now. From now on, I'll be your backer.""Even if I had never raised you for a day?" Elsa said again."As long as you've given birth to me, you're my mother.""My good child." Elsa was covered in tears while looking at her son. "Even if I were to die, my whole life would already be worth it. I have wronged you. I will leave the convent. I don't need to take care of you. I want to take care of you and help you take care of your children. I will leave the convent now."The reason she had given up the worldly desires and become a nun was that she had not much hope in life anymore. However, things were different at that moment. When Elsa saw her son, hope had been rekindled for her. Therefore, on the day her son came to her, she left the convent. The old lady had never married and had lived alone her whole life. In her sunset years, she finally found her biological son and someone to lean on
Sean was still kneeling on the ground and he cried extremely miserably. Sebastian and Vireo looked at each other. "Sebastian, I have acknowledged you as my brother, but I don't want to acknowledge him as my father.""I understand." Sebastian did not force Vireo.Vireo was not the only one who hated his father. Sebastian hated his father as well. It was just that compared to Vireo, Sebastian has had it a little better. At the very least, he knew he had a father since childhood, and his father had never stopped providing him with financial support. At that moment, his father was already more than 70 years old. The old man was already in his sunset years. Besides, with the state that he was in, it was already considered that he had received some punishments. In any case, he was already so old and he was his biological father, after all, so Sebastian did not wish to fight with Sean anymore. "Vireo, go ahead and take your mother down the mountain. We'll meet up again after I have let Da
The woman looked like she was in her thirties. Her professional attire showcased her competent temperament, but at the same time, it did not make her lose any graceful femininity. The woman had a very nice figure. She had curves in all the right places and was very gentle. However, she did not appear to be provocative at all. Instead, with the pairing of her professional attire, the woman appeared to be incomparably distinguished while also appearing to be friendly and gentle. She had the great charm of a mature woman in her thirties. Particularly when she looked so graceful as she walked, which made others feel extremely comfortable. Such a woman then walked step by step toward Sebastian with a smile on her face. "Mister Ford, why are you stunned?"Sebastian had no expression on his face. He disliked anybody entering his office without his permission. Unless it was his wife and his three children. However, this woman in front of him…"Miss White, didn't you say that you won't be com
Since it was a meeting for the contract, there certainly was going to be a battle for the interests between the two parties. In fact, however, for such meetings when the contract was already about to be finalized, everything had actually already been negotiated by both parties before they got to the room. Both parties were just having a discussion at that meeting as a matter of routine. This was particularly so when the opposite party was a multinational company like the White Group.However, the group of high-ranking executives from the White Group who came to negotiate with the Ford Group still wanted to take on the dominant position in this contract. Not to mention, the young lady of the White Group was also present that day, so they wanted to showcase their competency even more.The few high-ranking executives unanimously showed off in the meeting by saying that they were going to give up a share of the profit for the Ford Group. They also mentioned that even though many companie
Misty smiled gently. "Your wife? Is she…Sabrina Scott?"Sebastian did not say anything, and he simply just looked at her. His expression was so calm and composed that Misty felt he had no reaction at all. "Sebastian, after so many years, has the love between you and your wife, Sabrina, faded?" Misty's tone was very considerate.Before coming to South City, Misty has had some understanding of Sebastian's private matters. Sebastian's wife, Sabrina, ran off on her own while carrying Sebastian's child, and she was only found and brought back by Sebastian five years later. Till then, there were still many people in South City who were talking about that story with much interest. They said that Sebastian's wife had elevated her social status because of her child. If she had not been pregnant with Sebastian's child back then, Sebastian may have already married a noble young lady from South City or Kidon City. It was such a pity that even though there were plenty of noble young ladies who
The number of people who had been waiting to marry Misty and be the man of the White family was so great that they made people feel light-headed. However, none of them were to Misty's liking at all. Those men were too submissive and they unashamedly groveled at her feet. Therefore, Misty did not like any one of them at all.Sebastian, on the other, was different. She had given him so much profit, but he surprisingly was not grateful to her at all. He did not even take another look at her. He truly was worthy of being the richest man in South City. The more Misty looked at him, the more she was fond of him. She did not mind that Sebastian had been married. She also did not mind that Sebastian has had a few children. In the course of familiarizing herself with the Ford family, Misty had long known that Sebastian's father, Sean, has had many lovers when he was young. Sebastian's grandfather, Henry, also was a philanderer. The men in the Ford family were able to control both the vast grou
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
