"He even bought all sorts of makeup products for me. He would even wash my feet for me before bed at night, not to mention all the sweet talks he had told me every day. Even a few baskets would not be able to fit all of them. How sweet of a man he was, but what happened in the end? Ten years! He showed his true colors in just ten years. I saw with my own eyes today how he treated the other woman today. He was almost just as attentive to her as he was to me back then! When I heard those sweet talks with my own ears, I got so angry that I threw up on the spot. Do you know that, Gloria? I was so angry that I went up to grab that woman's hair and I wanted to beat her to death! However, my man actually protected her and beat me up! My man actually beat me up, Gloria! Tell me, are there good men in this world?"Gloria looked at James awkwardly and then she put on a forced smile. "Haha. Well…"Without waiting for Gloria to answer, Angie said it herself, "No! Not a single one! We were so mad
"Thank you, Gloria. If it weren't for your help, we truly don't know how we should tackle this case. It now seems like it's all going quite well?" Angie thanked Gloria from the bottom of her heart.Gloria smiled brightly. "He should have fallen for the trap.""Gloria, is there any danger? If there is any, you must notify us immediately. We will do our best to protect you and make sure you're safe."Gloria's expression was very relieved and also very proud. "I am already so old and I, myself, am a victim. I met a scumbag when I was young and my life was almost ruined. Since I have the chance now, of course, I would want to bring this group of people to justice. To me, even if it's dangerous, I am already an old lady in her fifties, what more am I afraid of? I am not afraid of anything. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I won't put myself in danger. Once there is just a little bit of danger, I will immediately call you.""Alright!""Tonight…""Tonight…"Both of them said it at t
"How could there be such a coincidence? Could it have been intentionally arranged?" The leader of the group looked at James with suspicion.James was shocked. "It can't be, right? Gloria does not seem like that kind of person. Her life is very simple and she usually doesn't interact with many people. I had also seen that woman as well. She is one of the people in their senior citizen dance group. She is one of the very few friends that Gloria has. Gloria is already very reserved. She usually kept her distance from me as well. She is just moved by me as I have always been very polite to her."The leader nodded. "Mm-hmm! But you can't take this lightly. This is a very rare catch. We absolutely can't take this lightly. Once we're able to bag this catch, we will be able to leave comfortably for the rest of our lives. From then on, we will flee to somewhere abroad and we'll never have to return again. We will never have to live in fear like this anymore. Think about what kinds of dealings
"Are you r-really going to let me turn around, Gloria?" James still asked for Gloria's opinion."Of course!" Gloria said firmly.Only then did James turn around. The moment he saw Gloria, he was stunned. That kind of feeling at that moment was real. This woman was truly beautiful. It was very early in the morning, and Gloria was wearing a thick and slightly loose-fitting shirt in sky blue that still accentuated her figure very well. She also put on a black suit jacket on top of the shirt. Under normal circumstances, women who were older would not dare to wear such a style because the color was too plain. However, Gloria deliberately did the opposite. Of course, what she wore was unable to conceal the fact that she was already 50. However, it was because she revealed her age so openly that it unintentionally gave her an additional confident and candid beauty that was unique to a 50-year-old woman. Besides, she did not look old. Her skin was not saggy at all and the fairness of the c
He wanted to serve her every day. He wanted to cook for her and give her flowers every day. It was just that simple without any schemes and ulterior motives at all. How great would that be?Gloria rolled her eyes at him with annoyance, and then she smiled. "James, you didn't bring me flowers today.""Gloria, I—" James wanted to explain himself but he was cut off by Gloria before he did."I know. I know, James," said Gloria. "It's because you heard Angie talking about her husband who used to sweet-talk at the beginning but ended up having a change of heart, so you don't want to be a man who sweet-talks. You didn't want to be like Angie's husband. He gave her flowers every day and treated her very attentively, but in the end, he still abandoned Angie. Am I right?"James nodded. "Yes, I just wanted to do something more useful for you."To restrain himself from sweet-talking was something that James and his gang had discussed together the night before. It was because they were afraid
James was extremely annoyed when he heard Angie scolding him like that. He wanted to punch this skinny, damned, and zombie-like woman to death. However, he had exhausted every way to build a good image in front of Gloria, he could not just lose that all because of this woman. James gritted his teeth and endured it while smiling gently. "Angie…""How dare you call my name! How dare you! I'm asking you, how dare you call my name? Who the fuck do you think you are?" Angie immediately stood up and cursed at James. She looked very much like a crazy person in that situation.James was dumbfounded as he did not know what to say. It was extremely awkward for him as he stammered with a completely reddened face, "Well…well, I didn't offend you."He felt that it was only appropriate for him to have a little temper. Otherwise, it would appear to be too fake. As expected, what he did was right.At that moment, Gloria said, "Angie! Don't go overboard! It's out of kindness that I took you in! But
"Your mind is not clear at all! You've been tricked by this man into being a person who only cares about romance!"Gloria firmly shouted at Angie. "Enough! You've gone overboard!""I've gone overboard?" Angie smiled and asked Gloria, "How have I gone overboard?""Have you not gone overboard? You and your man are getting a divorce, so you feel the whole world is filled with darkness now, don't you? You've been dumped by a man, and the first thing you have to do is look at yourself and find the reason! You are too casual with the way you present yourself in front of your husband! You depended on your husband for everything. Which man would be able to stand you after a while? It's not your ex-husband's fault that your marriage failed! You're also responsible for a big part of it! I understand that you are in pain! I treated you as my real friend, so I took you in! I comforted you and I let you spend the night here! My boyfriend bought you breakfast early in the morning! He was so conce
"It's just that I am not from this city. I had just come to South City for work not too long ago. I originally wanted to save up and buy a house, but I lost my job again before I managed to save enough. I am a person who doesn't have a house and doesn't have much savings as well. If you were to be with me, I'm afraid that you would suffer," James said with difficulty.Gloria smiled. "Hey, what are you talking about, James! Could this small house of mine not be enough for both of us to live in, or do you dislike my house for being too remote and too old?""Neither. My house back where I came from is even older than this one and I have never disliked it," James said."Then what is it that is making you hesitate?""I don't want to and I can't be dependent on a woman. I want to make money, provide for you, and let you stay in a big house. This is what a man should do," James said sincerely."I support you!" Gloria immediately said.Hearing Gloria saying that, James secretly was more
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
