"I've failed Gloria even more. Sabrina is right. Ever since your aunt was born, I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a father to her. Even if Gloria's mother was in the wrong, the child is still innocent, much less her mother is not wrong. Gloria is innocent. However, as her father, I was willing to raise someone else's child, treasure her, and love her like a princess, but I treated Gloria like a piece of garbage. I ignored her and I was even incredibly disgusted by her. As her father, the harm and trauma I have caused during her childhood are irreversible for life. As her father, even if I were to die a hundred times, I am still too ashamed to face my forefathers and also Gloria's mother. I often thought that after I've gone to the Great Beyond, if my forefathers asked me, 'Why did you treat your own flesh and blood like this? You gave birth to her but you didn't raise her. Are you still a father? People like you have brought shame to the Shaw family. You didn't even raise your
Gloria had always been very reluctant in addressing him as Dad. She had always felt that they were not close, so she could not bring herself to say it. Even if she no longer hated him, she still was unable to do it. However, when the dying old man really passed away, only then did Gloria suddenly realize that she no longer has a father anymore.A father was something that she has always wanted all her life but has never gotten it. One day, when she had become incredibly strong herself, and no longer needed a father anymore, her father, who was gradually getting older, came to her instead. At that time, Gloria was caught off guard. She was not mentally prepared for it at all. She was feeling more of a resistance, discomfort, hate, and so on. In short, there was no love. She thought that she no longer needed a father anymore in her life. She truly no longer needed one. Her father appearing in front of her would only remind her of the endless pain. Therefore, she has never acknowledged h
"Gloria, don't be sad anymore. From now on, I will also be your family." Her brother's wife was also incomparably emotional.She was considered to be an outsider in the Shaw family. However, ever since she married into the Shaw family, she had been getting along very well with everyone in the family and was very united with them. Later on, when her sister and her husband were involved in a plane crash, Old Master Shaw even brought up the idea of taking in her sister's orphan and raising her as the lady of the Shaw family. That also showed that Old Master Shaw was actually not a particularly bad person. It was just that many of his concepts were wrong and he was too self-centered. It was because of these flaws that he caused her own biological daughter to suffer out there."I don't know what had happened in the past. I have only heard bits and pieces of it from Marcus, your brother, and Old Master Shaw. However, after I have heard about all that, I know that you must have suffered a l
The Shaw family had been a top family in South City for decades in terms of having good family traditions and all other aspects. Even though Old Master Shaw had also made all kinds of mistakes in his life, failed a good woman, and ruined her life, all of the righteous acts that he had done and also the protection he had given to the country still covered up all of his mistakes. He was still admired by many.However, Old Master Shaw would never expect that his family would be so broken up after he had passed away. He and his wife, as well as his youngest grandson and his wife, were in favor of being as close as a family with Gloria and Sabrina. They felt that they must treat Gloria and Sabrina as their closest family for the rest of their lives.On the other hand, his other three grandsons, who had been living abroad all year long, were not willing to do so. In the eyes of these three grandsons, Gloria and Sabrina were two women who barged into the Shaw family very abruptly. The sight
"Now, we'll do as you guys say about this funeral arrangement. If you need me to come over, I'll come cover. What more do you want?""Your attitude just now was not like that. You and your daughter had unreasonably made a scene just now! Your daughter even slapped me! I now seriously suspect that you didn't expect it just now that the three of us would be so united. Do you think you'll be able to take control of the entire Shaw family with just the two of you? What a joke! Now that you see that something is wrong, you want to leave immediately? Dream on! Listen up, Gloria Shaw! Your daughter had slapped me. I can't just let that go! I'm going to call the police! Also, you have to clarify each and every filthy deed you and your criminal gang had done in front of us, the Shaw family, and also the police! My grandfather was old and senile, so he is easily fooled! However, there are still other people in the Shaw family! The Shaw family still has my brothers and me, the three of us. We ce
She looked at the three Shaw brothers firmly. "I should be polite to you as you're Marcus' brothers, but I have to tell you guys that you're absolutely disgusting! The three of you hardly ever return to the country once in a few years. You have never taken care of the elders in the family! You have also never cared about the family! Who are you and what right do you have to be boss people around here? What year are we in now? You're still talking about illegitimate children or not? Keegan, don't tell me that you're actually a person from ancient times who came here through time travel! If that's the case, then it's better for you to just travel back in time!""You…" Keegan was so pissed that he was struggling to breathe for a very long time. "Marcus, what kind of wife did you marry? Is this even an acceptable wife?""Why am I not acceptable?" Yvonne did not back down at all. She came to Marcus, raised her hand, and wrapped it around Marcus' arm. "Marcus and I are great together. We h
Marcus finally had an outburst of rage. "Deal, deal, deal with them! You only know about dealing with others! Who are we to deal with them?"After saying that, Marcus did not wait for his three brothers to say anything, and he just looked at Gloria and Sabrina. "Aunt Gloria, Sabrina, I'm really sorry that you have to see this. I'm really very sorry for this mess, but Grandpa's body can't be kept here now. Why don't…""We'll first take our leave." Gloria was still the one who had given in. She had suddenly figured it all out at the moment her father passed away. There was no need to make a fuss about anything. Every additional loved one in life counts. At that moment, it was already not bad for her to have her brother and his wife, as well as her nephew as her family. For the sake of her youngest nephew, her brother, and his wife, Gloria had to take a step up. That was not a big deal, to begin with."I will go over and send the old man off one last time when he is being sent to the c
Sabrina smiled. "It's nothing. It's just that my three cousins of the Shaw family did not really want to let my mother be a part of the family, but they wanted her to observe mourning. I feel that they have been abroad for too long, so they are still judging others with an outdated standard. My mother had already been so miserable in this life. I can't help but feel angry when I see the three of them treating my mother like that. Luckily, Marcus and his parents are still very reasonable. Let's just first let the old man's funeral be completed. We'll come cover and pick my mother up at night. It's not too late for you to pay your respects to the old man then."Sebastian, who was on the other end of the call, did not understand the situation, so he did not say much. "Alright."In the afternoon, Sebastian immediately rushed home after he had finished handling the company's matters, and he saw Sabrina sitting alone in the living room while being in a daze."What's the matter?" asked the
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
