The police officer took a look at Sabrina. "May I know who you are?""I am my mother's daughter," Sabrina said to the police without thinking.The police officer did not blame Sabrina, but he nodded and said instead, "You're Madam Gloria's daughter, right?"Sabrina hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. May I know where my mother is right now? Is she…in danger?"The police officer turned his head, raised his hand, pointed at somewhere nearby, and said to Sabrina, "There, Madam Gloria has already come out unharmed.""What?" Sabrina abruptly turned her head around, and she saw that her mother was already slowly walking out while being escorted by two police officers."Mom!" Sabrina immediately rushed toward her mother. She ran to her mother very quickly and immediately hugged her. There was even a catch in her throat as she said, "Mom, what happened to you? You've scared me to death! What exactly is going on? I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have not checked in on you for a week.
Gloria looked at her daughter lovingly, and then she raised her hand to touch Sabrina's hair. "My child, I am not old. I am only in my early fifties. I have kept myself in quite a good condition, so I look like I'm forty-five at a glance. I have a nice figure, I can play the piano, and I can dance. You're right about all this. If I really wanted to get myself a boyfriend, with the level that your grandfather is trying to please me and also with the Shaw family's background, it shouldn't be a problem for me to find a good man."Sabrina smiled. "That's right, Mom. You don't need to worry. I'm guessing that the line of men who want to pursue you could reach the moon, and every one of them is elite. We'll have so many options that we can pick and choose from."Gloria shook her head, then she sighed. "But, my heart…had long been covered in holes."Sabrina was speechless."I've been living in misery since childhood. I had been abused by your grandfather, your uncle, and also your grandfa
Sabrina was even more puzzled when she heard what her mother said. "Mom, what are you talking about?"Gloria was very excited. "All of you have your own things to be busy with. Sebastian is busy with his company's matters every day. You're busy with your designs every day. Even the little thing, Aino, is all grown up now. She doesn't even play with you anymore, let alone me. I usually seem like I'm quite busy on my own. I play the piano and I also dance. However, I've always been very energetic. I wanted to find a job, but nobody wanted to hire me. I can only go to the senior city dance group to kill time. Luckily, the dance group has performances very often, so my life was also more enriched. I met James during one of the times when I went out with the senior citizen dance group to perform. Do you know how he addressed me when I first met him?" Gloria asked Sabrina as she spoke of that.When Sabrina heard that her mother said that she was helping the police on a case, she felt surpr
She had been drifting for half of her lifetime, and she had always felt that she was worthless. It was until that man named James Dunn had approached her. Only a few people knew that Gloria did not like sweet talks, and deep down, she actually also disliked men taking the initiative to talk to her. That was because Gloria was hurt by her father, brother, and her first husband, Lincoln, growing up. She had been badly scarred by them.It was not until Gloria had met her second husband, who was honest and a man of a few words, that Gloria finally had a foothold in her life and she got a sense of security. That lasted until her husband passed away. The man that Gloria had deeply loved had always been her second husband, who was that honest and simple man who spoke very little. Even though her husband had passed away, Gloria had never taken a look at those glamorous, powerful, and sweet-talking men. Not because of anything else, but simply because she felt disgusted by these men in her hea
After she arrived at the nearest police station, she told the police officer about the situation in detail. When she was done, she even said while feeling slightly sorry, "Actually, I can't be sure that he is a scammer who specializes in tricking women who live alone. I have no evidence as well. I am just going with my instinct. Also, some of his actions made me feel that we should take precautions. Don't blame me If I've made the wrong judgment. I mean no harm. I just wanted to let many women who live alone like me and those women who are rather lonely in life be more cautious. I apologize in advance if I've misjudged him and he did not have ulterior motives like I think he did. As for how you're going to investigate him, that's your business."Gloria was incredibly sincere and honest when she said that. After that, she was going to get up and leave. However, she did not expect that the police officer in charge of entertaining her would get up, shake her hand, and say to her, "Madam,
Gloria, however, volunteered and insisted that she had to work with the police to do something meaningful. She was very excited, and she also had a sense that this was a noble thing to do. After all, at her age, being able to do something that could give her a great sense of accomplishment and help many people would make her feel that she had not lived her life in vain.Ultimately, it was still because the first half of her life had been too rough, and then she met a scum like Lincoln again, later on. Not only did Lincoln ruin her, but he also caused her daughter to live a miserable life before she turned twenty-five and was also imprisoned. Therefore, Gloria hated such scums. Once she encountered such scum again, she had to go all out to punish him severely!After Gloria repeatedly begged the police, they agreed. The police officer said to Gloria, "Madam, we will secretly protect your safety at all times. You also have to be careful. If there are any dangers, do not get involved. Yo
Gloria deliberately switched off her phone. She had already figured that since James was able to find out about her name, he certainly would be able to find out about his family background. If he was able to find out about her family background, then he certainly would be able to know her phone number as well. She simply wanted to ignore James for a while.That day when James did not manage to reach Gloria through her phone, he was actually very annoyed. At the same time, he was also a little disheartened. He originally thought that an old lady like Gloria who had no men by her side and had never been cared for since childhood would enjoy it very much when a man finally hit on her. However, he never expected that Gloria would actually switch off her phone. James had a feeling that he was unable to control this woman. He felt agitated and he kept pacing back and forth outside of the place where the senior citizen dance group was practicing. In the end, he only left after he no longer w
"However, women above thirty-five are different. Women nowadays generally take great care of themselves, so women who are thirty-five look like they are just in their twenties. Some of them who are forty-five even seem like they are in their early thirties. Plenty of them have long flowing hair and great figures. That is the reason why our company has decided to design clothes for women from age thirty-five to fifty-five. They have great spending power and they have excellent taste. Once a woman reaches this age, their taste will naturally get better. Many experts studying women nowadays say that a woman should be most beautiful in the twenty years between the age of thirty-five to fifty-five. I originally did not believe this statement. However, I finally believed it the moment I saw you. To be honest with you, Miss Shaw, I had been paying attention to you in secret for a long time before I went up to greet you for the first time yesterday. Why have I been paying attention to you? Don
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
