"Who are you? Who would we know who are you? Aren't you my brother's colleague? You're already so old. You're certainly a useless person, so you're here to flatter my brother!" Chloe looked at Elsa disdainfully."Where are your parents? Did they not come?" Elsa asked with a cold expression."Does whether our parents come or not have anything to do with you?" Chloe said."Have nothing to do with me?" Elsa sneered miserably. "When I was looking for my child back then, I had once met your parents. I asked them if they had seen my child. In the end, your parents told me that the person who bought my child had taken the train heading toward the south. I listened to them, and I went south on a train. I had searched through the entire southern area, and I still couldn't find my son. A few days ago, my son showed me a picture of our parents. They were already older, but their appearance did not change much. I recognized them at a glance. It turned out that they were the couple back then who
"It's just that they are too insatiably greedy," Sebastian said emotionally.There were too many insatiably greedy people in this world. To have a son that could continue the family line, the Payne family did not hesitate to snatch away forty years of someone else's happiness, which led to Elsa becoming a nun while thinking of her son all the time.Vireo nodded, then smiled and said miserably, "That's right. I wanted to do my part in taking care of them, but they just can't let me go. Maybe that's just my life. Forget it. Just let them be. It's fine if I just turn a deaf ear. What mattered to me the most is my knowledge in medicine, my wife, and also my mom."After saying that, Vireo looked at Minerva again. "There's Minerva as well."He had only known Minerva for a few days, but the child had been addressing him as her uncle and Isadora as her aunt every day. After she had met Vireo's mother, she also addressed her as her grandmother. It was as if she was the Payne family's little
Gloria smiled while looking at Sabrina. "What's the matter? Am I not allowed to at my age?"Sabrina touched her mother's hand. "Mom, you're only in your early fifties. You're a few years younger than Madam Elsa, and you're in very good shape. Of course, you can date."Her mother sighed slightly. "Then, that's alright. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.""Mm-hmm. I believe you, Mom."Since her mother already said that, Sabrina did not want to say anything else anymore. After all, her mother was already an older adult and was not someone she could criticize anymore. She was simply going to pay more attention and care more about her mother.After she sent her mother home, the child played happily in the yard and Sabrina chatted with her mother on the porch. Sabrina was observing her mother, and her mother was not distracted at all. All she had eyes for were the few children."Aino, don't run so quickly. They won't be able to catch up with you this way.""Oh gosh, dear, you have to
Only then did Sebastian say, "You'll definitely be able to get yourself a boyfriend that is to your liking.""Mm-hmm!" Misty nodded solemnly. "Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll invite you to my wedding!""Alright!Sebastian smiled. "Let's go. Let's go to the conference room.""Mm-hmm!"The meeting went on very smoothly, and both parties got the maximum profits on the contract. At noon, the high-ranking executives from both the Ford Group and the White Group had lunch together. Initially, the people who were supposed to have lunch together were not that many and it was only a few tables full. To make the atmosphere livelier, all of them gathered in the hall on the second floor. Halfway through their lunch gathering, they suddenly heard someone shouting at the lobby on the first floor. It so happened that Sebastian was by the railing, so he was able to clearly see the drunk who was creating a commotion on the first floor. That man looked like he was about 40 years old. He was v
The man in the photo clearly was the drunk who had created a commotion on the first floor of the hotel earlier on. He looked really young. It was not even too much to say that he was thirty-five years old. Such a man would be going after Gloria? Sebastian felt a little unhappy. After he had looked through the photos, he sent them to Sabrina, and Sabrina was shocked. She also had never expected that the man who was courting her mother was actually that young.Sabrina was working in her office. There was a huge pile of design drafts on her plate that needed her to approve and sign. She wholeheartedly wanted to go and see her mother as she was afraid her mother was scammed, but because of her work, she was unable to leave.While she was swamped with work, Sabrina thought of an old friend. Ruth had been in Kidon City during that period. She had said that she wanted to come to South City, but she never managed to because of her children. However, that did not stop Sabrina from giving a ca
Gosh! She even had both of her children with her. She better not be at any more of a disadvantage.Sabrina stopped her car and rushed straight toward the people who were arguing. Just as she got to the outer circle of the crowd, she heard Ruth shouting. "Who are you? Who are you? Isadora is my friend. What do you want to do?""Your friend?" A sharp voice immediately came into Sabrina's ears.Sabrina suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar. It was as if she had heard it from somewhere before. Oh! She suddenly remembered that this voice had appeared at Vireo's house the day before. That was the voice of the eldest sister of the Payne family, Chloe Payne. Once she heard that voice, Sabrina got furious. She immediately rushed forward and ran through the crowd to Isadora, who was holding a lunch box, and asked with a stern voice, "What the hell do you want?"Chloe sneered. "It's you? I saw you at my brother's house yesterday. All of you said that you were my brother's colleagues.
Sabrina was stunned when she heard what Chloe said. It was not a big deal to call the police as it was simply a dispute among family, so why would Chloe blurt out saying that her parents were also there?While Sabrina was deep in thought, Abigail suddenly said, "So, what if our parents are here? Just call the police. They were the ones who beat us up. Chloe, what are you afraid of?"Chloe rolled her eyes at Abigail. "Have you forgotten how our parents got our brother…"Sabrina sneered. That was right. Vireo's parents had paid someone to buy Vireo back then. They bought him, which was illegal. No wonder Chloe did not want them to call the police. This family was truly shameless, and it was no wonder why Vireo has always wanted to stop any interactions with them.At that moment, the second sister of the Payne family, Ashnah, said, "Chloe, just call the police. In any case, is this woman who had beaten us up. Think about it. Our brother had been brought up by our parents. He is also a
They even put on a show in their hometown, the small county. They had their grandparents and parents sit on that street that they were at and cried their hearts out. "What sins have the Payne family committed? We had fed him, clothed him, and put him through college. In the end, he did all sorts of heinous acts.""Woman, that damned thing was spoiled by you! You had spoiled him too much since he was a child. He is now a criminal because you've spoiled him! Look at him now. He actually is capable of murder and arson! God! We have lived here for generations, and we have never had any black sheep of the family like this. This damned person. We definitely have to cut all ties with him! We have never had such a person in the Payne family!"A few years ago, the entire family had vowed to cut all ties with Vireo on the street. Everybody on that street had seen their resolution. A few years had passed since then, and they never had ever gotten any news about Vireo. Maybe Vireo had already di
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
