"Now it seems that I have indeed gotten it right! You had gone to great lengths to take the entire Ford family into the palm of your hands, and you are now here to harm the Shaw now?"Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm. As expected of a person who grew up abroad and has his own multinational corporate group. You are unusually smart."Keegan fully accepted the compliment Sebastian had given him. He raised his eyebrows. "Sebastian, you're still quite honest. At least you've admitted to everything. However, Sebastian, listen to me! Since my two brothers and I have returned, we absolutely will not let you, your mother-in-law, and your wife, as well as my brother's bullshit of a girlfriend who was introduced to him by your wife, have it your way! I think the three Shaw brothers are more than capable of dealing with you, an illegitimate child!""Bullshit!" Yvonne suddenly walked out of the car. She had been sitting inside the car the whole time. She was just unwilling to get out. The reason she fo
Keegan was stunned when he heard that. Before he was able to react, somebody had already come over to forcefully grab his arms and drag him to the side. Not long after that, his second and third brothers also were dragged out."What are you doing? What are you guys doing?" Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni shouted in unison."Let us go! This is our house! The person who has passed away is our grandfather! Our grandfather!""Sebastian Ford! What do you want to do?""We'll call the police! Lokni, call the police, call them now! I just don't believe a robber can still be so arrogant in this society governed by law!"Immediately after that, Lokni took out his phone to call the police. The three brothers originally thought that someone would stop them from calling the police, but nobody did. They successfully called the police without any hindrance. However, it did not take them long to realize that it was not about calling the police or not anymore. That was because Sebastian only had his peo
The couple were both dressed in black and wearing black armbands, and both of them had solemn and sorrowful expressions on their faces. The couple would respectfully bow their heads together whenever someone came over to express their grief."Sebastian, you've done well. It's Old Master Shaw's blessing to have you.""Sebastian, seeing that you've taken time out of your busy schedule to take care of Old Master Shaw's funeral is enough to show that you're generous and you're willing to let bygones be bygones. With you being in charge, the old folks like us will rest assured.""We'll first head in, Sebastian."Sebastian nodded to all of them respectively.After these people went in, a person who looked like a maid came to Sebastian. "Master Sebastian, the room has been set up. The person to collect the memorial gifts is also ready. In addition, the clothes for mourning for the master and the lady of the house, Madam Gloria, and the young masters have also been prepared according to t
"Hello? Is this the Phin Group? I would like to work with you in South City… What? You can't. Your company had long been working very closely with the Ford Group. You have always been relying on supplying raw materials to the Ford Group. If you stop supplying to them, then wouldn't you be breaking their supply chain… What? He can still import the raw materials from the southeast region… Alright, then.""Hello, Roddy. It's me, Keegan. Yes, I have returned to the country. My company is very large abroad. You know that one as well. It already has assets that are worth more than ten billion dollars. I now want to tidy up the business circle of the South City. The Shaw family… You… What did you say? What's wrong with my family? We have never relied on the Ford family, much less Sebastian Ford! What a joke!""Hello, Mister Jimenez… Oh, you… It's out of respect to Mister Ford that you came to attend my grandfather's funeral? Ask him to go to hell!"Keegan was so angry that he almost threw
That was also a matter from many years ago. However, the young lady had a very good memory. She took the bus and then changed to the subway. After she got off the subway, she took a long car ride before she finally arrived outside of the Shaw Residence which was located at the foot of a mountain.At first, Aino was still uncertain if she had come to her great-grandfather's house. After all, there were quite a number of Shaw families in the South City. However, when Aino saw the black cloth hanging outside the entrance of the Shaw Residence and also the obituary, Aino was certain that this must be her great-grandfather's house.Many black cars were parked outside. Aino had made a call to her mother earlier on, and she had heard that her great-grandfather was going to be cremated that day. Seeing that so many cars and so many people were going in one after another, her great-grandfather's ashes must have already returned.In fact, Aino did not care about that. She had no sense of kins
Aino would not easily trust anybody. "How could that be possible?"Keegan had a very good temper. “Let me guess, you're Aino, right?""So?" Aino asked."Your mother's name is Sabrina Scott?" Keegan's expression was incomparably gentle and kind. He was also a father of a few children. His family abroad had usually been practicing democracy at home. He was best at getting along with children. At that very moment, it was indeed too easy for him to deal with a teenage girl. He laughed coldly in his heart, but he did not show it at all on his face.Aino was still very calm. "Go on."Keegan continued. "Your paternal grandfather's name is Sean Ford and your great-grandfather's name is Henry Ford. You also have an uncle, who is the closest to you, named Marcus Shaw. Uncle Marcus loves your mother and your grandmother very much. Am I right? Also, even though your last name is Scott and your name is Aino Scott, your actual legal name is Aino Ford. Your father loved you the most and you're t
However, how could a child defend against the sinister nature of an adult? Her most beloved Uncle Marcus lived there. Her parents and her grandmother are all mourning there. These three uncles and her Uncle Marcus looked so much alike. Aino never would have expected that she would be tricked.The three men who claimed to be Aino's uncles stuffed her into a car, but they did not bring her to a restaurant. Instead, they made several turns and in the end, they actually brought her out of the city. Aino immediately noticed that something was wrong. Her heart sank. However, she did not show any signs of panic on the surface at all. On the contrary, she smiled and looked at the three Shaw brothers with her clever gaze. "Is the place where we're going to grab a bite very far away? I'm guessing that you must be taking me to a high-end restaurant, right? I heard that a three-star restaurant with traveling being their theme had opened in the suburbs, right?"Keegan originally was still think
At that moment, Keegan's true colors were completely exposed. "You have to be obedient. If you dare to disobey us, we will leave you in this cave! We'll let the wolves come out to take you away! Are you afraid of pain?" Keegan looked at Aino fiercely.Aino's tears immediately gushed down her cheeks. Immediately after that, she pursed her lips and burst out crying. "I want my dad. I want my mom. I want to go home." She sobbed."No crying! Caelus shouted angrily!Aino was so frightened that she immediately did not dare to cry anymore. She pursed her lips and looked at the men in front of her while tears streamed down her cheeks. She held back her tears so much that she was trembling all over."Don't frighten her. She is such a small child. If something bad were to happen to her after she was frightened, with Sebastian's power in the South City now, he would skin us alive. The purpose we took the child was to negotiate with Sebastian." The eldest brother, Keegan, was still slightly ca
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
