Whenever one was unable to save any money, one should just spend money frugally. In short, materialistic things were not important. The most important thing was being frugal. Gloria even often joked with Aino, "Aino, I have saved up a sum of money for you. When you get married, I can also buy a decent gift. Why do I insist on buying you gifts for your wedding? Because when your mother got married, I was not by her side. I also never had the chance to make it up to her. Therefore, I am thinking of saving up to buy you wedding gifts."Saving money to buy wedding gifts for Aino was something that Sabrina's mother had been insisting on doing for the past few years. She was even reluctant to buy jewelry for herself. She had never used any luxurious bags as she wanted to save her money for Aino. Therefore, Sabrina really wanted to ask her mother if she truly was going to take the money out to give it to James.Her mother's reply really surprised Sabrina. "Yes! I really intended to give it
James took a look after he regained his senses and saw that it was Old Master Shaw. He was so frightened that he almost wet himself."S-Sir, hello…hello, I…" James was trembling in fear and he did not know what to say.At that moment, he even felt that he may lose his life. That was because Old Master Shaw had two tall and strong bodyguards following behind Old Master Shaw. Those bodyguards looked well-built and tough at a glance and were very professional. If Old Master Shaw were to see through his intentions, then it would not be just as simple as being imprisoned for him anymore. He would be torn into a million pieces. By then, not only would not get a single penny, but he would even lose his life. He looked at Old Mater Shaw very cautiously.Old Master Shaw, however, had a cold and fierce expression. "I heard from my daughter's friend that you wanted to be my daughter's boyfriend?"James nodded and then he shook his head. After that, he nodded again and shook his head again. It
"I, however, have never given up protecting my daughter! With me keeping an eye here, don't you even think about harming my daughter!""I didn't! I really didn't!" James got anxious. "I swear! I have never done anything offensive to your daughter. The reason why I appeared at your daughter's house so early in the morning that day was not that I had spent the night. It was because she had a friend who had a fight with her husband. That woman spent the night at your daughter's house. I came over that early in the morning to deliver breakfast to both the women! Also, your daughter was the one who agreed for me to deliver the breakfast! That was because your daughter had been comforting that woman, so she had no time to prepare breakfast. However, I had never expected that the woman was an evil viper! Your daughter had comforted her, taken her in, and treated her so well. But what happened in the end? That woman actually took a fancy to me and wanted me to be with her! She still owes your
The old man's words were very clear. He allowed his daughter to be in a relationship, but he absolutely would not tolerate a man playing with her daughter's feelings or breaking her heart."I absolutely would never break Gloria's heart." Once again, James expressed his determination to Old Master Shaw.Old Master Shaw sneered. "So, three years! If you can remain committed for three years, then only I will believe you!"James was speechless. There was a moment when he really wanted very badly to have Old Master Shaw killed. However, he did not have the ability nor did he have the guts. Unless he did not wish to live anymore."Three years. Don't worry! I will definitely be able to last three years! No, no, no! Even if it's five years or a lifetime, as long as it's good for Gloria, I will do it, let alone three years!""You'd better do it for the rest of your life!" Old Master Shaw turned around and left after leaving those words with him. After he walked to his car, he turned his he
"If we were to scam an old woman like her, we may truly lose our lives at the slightest accident!"The leader of the gang sneered. "Are you afraid now?""Are you not afraid?" James asked."I am afraid!" the leader of the gang immediately said.James scoffed. "Then that's decided then!""But nothing ventured, nothing gained! I learned about her son-in-law. He was just an illegitimate son back then! Not a single penny of the Ford Group was his back then, but he was able to fake his death as a lure and get the entire Ford Group into the palm of his hands!"James was speechless."There's also her father as well. You have also heard about it from her father today that when he was fighting the war abroad, he also had a narrow escape from death. It was already very good to be able to have a narrow escape. When he was just a hair's breadth away from death, it was a woman who had saved him! She saved him, but he devoured every inch of this woman instead! He never married her his whole li
Gloria smiled. "Because of you.""Was it that time when Vireo's sisters came over?" Sabrina immediately asked.Gloria nodded. "James was so scared that time that his soul almost left his body. He hid in the courtyard and both of his legs were shaking. I saw it with my own eyes. I just pretended I didn't know anything, and I even did my best to comfort him."Sabrina smiled. "Mom, I never would have thought that the one time that I was rude to you actually helped you. However, Mom, do you know how worried I was at that time? I originally didn't intend to intervene in your relationship matters because I feel that as a younger member of the family, I shouldn't be involved. No matter who you're dating, I will support you. However, before that, Sebastian had witnessed James being an angry drunk and acting like a rogue at a restaurant. That made Sebastian and me extremely worried. I took the day off from work that day to come and visit you. In the end, I ran into Vireo's sisters, who were
"He is not my father! I have never acknowledged him as my father! Why? Do you want me to acknowledge him as my father? You're a scammer, aren't you? You don't like me. What you like is actually my father's money, isn't it?""No, Gloria!" James got even more anxious."Listen to me. Listen to me first, alright? No matter if you admit that he is your father or not, he still exists. He is outside of your house every day. You can just not acknowledge him, but what about the outsiders? They can't just not acknowledge him. If I want to continue to be in a relationship with you, I will have to do as he says. He doesn't ask for anything else. He just asked me to not get close to you. He is doing this for your own good."Gloria cried at that moment. "Why? Why must he do this? He can't stand me doing great and can't stand me being happy, isn't it? He wants to force me to acknowledge him as my father with this, doesn't he? No! I just won't acknowledge him. I will never ever acknowledge him! Nev
"Let's run away! I really don't want to have any relations with the Shaw family anymore. James, I just want to be together with you. Oh, right, James, I have something that I have been keeping from you. Don't blame me for it, alright? You also know that at my age, it's impossible for me to pour my heart out to you. However, now, I won't ever hide anything from you anymore." Gloria looked at James incomparably apologetically.James was slightly surprised. "What's the matter? What are you hiding from me?"Gloria's face turned slightly red. She mumbled for a while. "I have another house in the suburbs and I have kept a lot of jewelry there. It's the jewelry that was given to me by my daughter and also some that my mother had kept back then. Those jewelry are worth at least more than ten million dollars. We'll take that jewelry and run away. The jewelry is enough for us to use for the rest of our lives. Alright?"James was stunned for a long while after hearing that. "You, yourself, act
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
