Gloria, who was behind Sabrina, even cried. Originally, she did not cry a single tear at all. However, when she heard her father regretting how he treated her mother, Gloria cried. She was not crying for her father. Instead, she was crying for her mother who had died with resentment. No matter how sincere a person's repentance was, no matter how much the person regretted it, a young and vibrant life would never be able to be repeated."But these…." The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more hoarse. His voice was so hoarse that Sabrina could not even bear to listen to him anymore."Just…take a rest. My mother and I no longer blame you anymore. It's true. Just take a rest. Don't have too much of a burden on your mind. Your health has been great and you don't have any serious illness. You certainly are able to live to a hundred years old. There are many centenarians in this world. A female writer even lived till she was one hundred and twelve years old. You're still
The voice had stunned everyone present. Gloria and Sabrina were no exceptions. The man who entered looked similar to Marcus, but he seemed to be about eight years older than Marcus at a glance."Keegan?" Marcus called out in surprise. "Weren't your flight delayed? I thought you would be arriving in the afternoon. How come you're home so soon? You should have called me when you arrived at the airport so I could go pick you guys up."The last time Marcus' eldest brother returned to South City was five years ago. Five years had gone by in a blink of an eye. Time really flies. It is unexpected that their grandfather was on his deathbed when Marcus met his brother again. Marcus could not help but feel emotional. He did not notice the anger on his brother's face at all, so he excitedly came to his brother's side. "Keegan, you're truly here just in time. Grandpa…will be leaving us very soon. It's fortunate that you still get to see him one last time before he passes. This is truly great, Ke
Old Master Shaw's eldest grandson, Keegan Shaw, completely ignored his younger brother who was greeting him. He did not even see the excitement and joy on his brother's face. Keegan simply came to Old Master Shaw with big strides. He did not even glance at Sabrina and Gloria, and he just said to Old Master Shaw, who was on the bed, "Grandpa, it's fortunate that I have gotten here in time, so you are not tricked. How could you make such a decision so rashly? You have already forgotten that you have been tricked twice! Grandpa, you're too soft-hearted!"Old Master Shaw was speechless. His jaw was agape and he was very weak.It was at that moment that Keegan saw Gloria and Sabrina. "Ladies, please step out for a moment. This is my family's matter. Outsiders are not allowed to be involved."In fact, Keegan had met Gloria and Sabrina once. It was five years ago. Keegan had returned from abroad, so Old Master Shaw was very happy. He even especially asked Marcus to beg Gloria and Sabrina's
When Sabrina heard Keegan saying that, she got so angry that she laughed. Keegan was the one who drove her and her mother away. He was the one who called them outsiders and said that he wanted to have a discussion with his family. Her mother was just going along with what he said, and he attacked her mother like that?"Keegan, how can you be so rude?" Sabrina said calmly. With her upbringing and her character, which has always been calm, Sabrina was very capable of keeping her composure. However, keeping her composure did not mean that she would just put up with anything."Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Keegan immediately attacked Sabrina angrily and he absolutely was not going to give in. "This family had already been through so much because of the two of you. The more unjustified your status, the lesser right you have to speak. Yet, you are so troublesome! With me around, I will not let you create any trouble!"Sabrina was speechless. She
"It is evident that the people that you had brought home are indecent. See it for yourself. What kind of behavior is this? You brought them home, but they were not polite to you at all! They want to take away all of the properties left behind by our forefathers! They want to ruin the entire Shaw family! Marcus! If I came any later and the entire Shaw family has been emptied by them, do you think you will be able to face the forefathers of the Shaw family?"Those words were spoken with great justification. Even the forefathers were mentioned."They are not outsiders!" Marcus got annoyed. He stressed again. "Gloria and Sabrina are our closest relatives! Besides, Sabrina is not short of money at all! The Ford Group has more properties than you and I combined! They are not lacking money at all!""Is that so? They don't lack money?" Keegan sneered and glanced at Sabrina. His gaze was especially disdainful. There was a pause before he said again, "Sabrina! Gloria! Don't think the entire S
Keegan looked at Sabrina in disbelief. "You slapped me? You actually slapped me? I am more than a decade older than you! This is my house. How dare you slap me here?"He had been used to being all high and mighty. He had always been highly respected when he was abroad. No one had ever slapped him. He had never expected that he would actually be slapped by a woman ten years younger than him after he had returned to the country and to his own home. Also, she was a woman who had attempted to take away all of the Shaw family's property.Sabrina sneered. "So what if I have slapped you? You're a person who thinks that you're the only human while others are all bullshit perverts! I simply want to slap you up! Not only have I slapped you, but I also want to take away all of Old Master Shaw's properties! I won't leave a single bit of it for you at all!""You!" Keegan felt that he had met a robber.Sabrina continued to sneer. "My mother and I were originally planning to give it up. However,
"The famous financial group in Upreiland, the Holt Group, is a great example. Old Master Holt married four women. Only his first wife and her three children were able to inherit the properties of the Holt family. The other children were all exiled! Gloria Shaw! I am not wrong, am I?"When Sabrina heard Keegan saying that, she was so pissed off by that jerk in front of her who had spent a few decades abroad that she laughed."Keegan Shaw!" Sabrina also did not want to waste her effort talking to Keegan anymore. "Fifty years ago, before you were even born, your grandfather ran out of ammunition and food supplies when he was at war abroad, and he was very close to being captured alive by his opponents! If my grandmother had not risked her life to save him, your grandfather could only be facing two possibilities. This first kind was to be beaten to death on the spot. The other kind was to rebel! Do you know what both of these possibilities mean?"Sabrina sneered while looking at Keegan.
Gloria was absolutely unyielding. "Yes, I am my father's daughter, and you are already in another generation, so you are an outsider!"Keegan was speechless. He turned his head around to look at his parents. His parents only sighed sorrowfully without saying anything."Dad! I remembered that Grandma had been telling us since childhood that Grandpa had kept a vixen out there. Grandpa had actually already turned over a new leaf, but that vixen still kept harassing Grandpa all the time. My grandma! My grandma used to have such good health. Why did she die at the age of sixty? My grandma was pissed to death by that woman! That woman truly was hard to shake off! Grandpa had clearly told her that he would never want her and would never take her into the family! But what did the woman do? She kept pestering him! She had pestered my grandpa his whole life, and she finally killed my grandma with her pestering. That woman is gone now, but it's her daughter's turn to continue pestering our fami
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
