Tears came gushing down her cheeks. "Ryan, I love you.""Cheesy!" Ryan brushed Ruth's nose.Ruth suddenly laughed. Just like that, both of them were considered to have already made up with each other. It was not a very big deal, to begin with. In order to return home and notify his family about his matter as soon as possible, Ryan did not stay in South City any longer and he immediately flew back to Kidon City.It was after he had arrived home that he learned that sometimes the decisions made by both of them would also be considered a bolt from the blue for his parents. His mother, Patricia, immediately became agitated and scolded him angrily, "What? You guys! You want to cooperate with Ruth and leave your father and me?""Mom…" Ryan was in a rather difficult position.At this end, Patricia was so angry that her eyes were completely reddened. "Ryan, say it yourself. I'm asking you to say it yourself! Say it yourself! Other than not accepting her at the very beginning, how much bet
After saying those words, Ryan headed out with big strides. In all fairness, he did not want to go against his mother like that. From his mother's perspective, she had truly changed a lot in the past few years. At the very least, his mother used to look down on Ruth and it was also impossible for her to accept Ruth back then. However, his mother forced herself to accept Ruth, and she also loved her very much. However, she would still find fault in Ruth and disapprove of this and that about her. Even so, his mother had never spoken about wanting to kick Ruth out or to let them have a divorce. Whenever she had anything delicious or saw any jewelry of good quality, she would still think of Ruth. Ryan had nothing to criticize about his mother.However, his mother forced him to get a divorce. How could Ryan do that? Ruth loved him and he also loved Ruth. It was impossible for him to divorce her. On this matter, he had to be firm with his stance, and he absolutely would not get a divorce. T
"You won't leave me?" Patricia asked in tears."Mm-hmm." Ryan nodded."You're not angry at me anymore?""Not anymore," said Ryan."Son…" Patricia cried. Ryan also cried.At that moment, Ryan's phone had actually been vibrating. However, he did not have the time to answer it. He did not even take a look at who was calling him. He just held his mother's hand while feeling incredibly remorseful. "Ryan, take good care of your mother. Jane and I will go back now. We'll come and visit your mother again tomorrow," Alex said to Ryan from behind him.Ryan did not look back, and he only nodded.Alex then said to Austin, "Austin, we'll first send mom and dad home. Don't worry about things at home. If you need anything here in the hospital, you can also call me as soon as possible. Nothing else matters now. What's important is that Patricia has to recover well."Austin nodded and sighed. "Mm-hmm. You may first go home, then."Only then did Alex bring his wife and his parents along with
At the end of the line, Jane said gently, "Ruth, your mother-in-law is sick and she is in the hospital now."Ruth was shocked. "What? My mother-in-law is sick? Then… I'll immediately go back to visit and take care of her."Ruth was a caring person at her core. She just was unable to tolerate her mother-in-law's gaze of disgust and the restrictions she put on her all day long. However, her mother-in-law was sick, so of course, she had to be by her bed to take care of her.Jane's voice was still very gentle on this end of the line. "Ruth, listen to me. Your mother-in-law is still very angry now. She can't get angry now because of her condition. The blood vessels in her brain will rupture once she gets angry. When that time comes, the consequences would be disastrous. You're a good girl. Alex and I know that. Ryan also knows that. His stand is very firm. He will not divorce you. However, he is unable to leave at this moment. As for you, don't come back at the moment as well. Do you und
"Mom, why are you sad?" asked her elder son.The younger son also raised his hand and wanted to wipe his mother's tears for her. However, his hand was very short, so he could not reach it. He then stomped his feet in frustration.Ruth, who was feeling depressed, suddenly laughed. She hugged both her sons and said incredibly emotionally, "I… I am a woman with nobody to rely on and I don't have my biological family with me. Even if I do, they are also just mere commoners. I was very lonely in that huge mansion. I only have you two. Both of you are the only closest and dearest loved ones in my life. My babies. From now on, I will give it my all to be self-reliant and also an extremely strong mother.""Mom, I love you.""I love you."Both the children wrapped both of their arms around Ruth tightly. Ruth's tears silently streamed down her face. She did not dare to spend too much time dwelling in sorrow. She only gave herself one night before she forced herself to pull herself together.
Sabrina was also quite sad. She did not even know what to say. She was Ruth's friend, but she had no right to intervene in Ruth's marriage. "Ruth, you have to be strong."Ruth smiled very calmly. "But it's alright, Sabrina. We'll have to go through some hardships in life. There are many people who have experienced more pain than me. I still have two children, don't I? For the sake of my twins, I have to be both their father and their mother. However, there's something I'm very happy with. From now on, I can hang out with you guys freely. Sabrina, I only have two best girl friends, which are you and Yvonne. Both of you are married, but you can't ignore me, arlight?"Sabrina looked at Ruth while feeling sorry. "Silly girl! We're just going to ignore you. What can you do?"Ruth said, "I'm guessing that both of you could not bear to do it at all!""Yes, yes, yes, we just can't bear to ignore you. Let's go for a picnic together this weekend," Sabrina said with a smile. Ruth immediatel
Sabrian's childhood and even her teenage years were very miserable. However, no matter how miserable life was, she felt life was sweet as long as she had her parents by her side. However, her father passed away when she was twelve years old. Her mother then traveled a long distance from the small village in the mountains with her and sent her to her biological father.From then on, at least she would not be lacking in basic necessities and had to wear clothes that were patched up as she did in the small village in the mountains. However, she was emotionally abused the whole time, and it was her biological father who had abused her. Any child would long to have the warmth of a family, to have their parents by their sides, and to be protected by the love of their strong and dependable father. However, Sabrina did not have any of that.She had to bear everything, all the grievances, and all the scolding and disgust from the Lynn family by herself.However, things were different at that m
Yvonne was so confused when she heard it. She then blurted out, "What did you say? You want me to get a divorce?"On the other end of the line, Gloria said rather sadly, "Mm-hmm. I thought of my unfortunate marriage, and I think it's meaningless for women to get married!"Yvonne was speechless. She has always had a fear of marriage, and she has yet to be married to Marcus. Marcus also did not rush her, anyway. The two of them had already done everything, and she had already moved into the Shaw family's house as Marcus' wife. The only thing that they have not done was get married. However, why did Gloria repeatedly stress that she should get a divorce? That was very strange.Just as Yvonne wanted to ask something, Gloria hurriedly said on the other end of the line, "I'm hanging up." After that, she immediately hung up the call.Yvonne looked at Sabrina. "That's very strange of her."Sabrina was stunned. She had a sense of foreboding. She no longer had the mind to have a picnic anym
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
