Marcus did not answer Yvonne's question. Instead, he furrowed his brows as he was unable to figure it out. "Why did Eva return to the country? Why would she appear outside of Sebastian's office? What's going on?"Yvonne said with angry grunts. "I find it very strange as well! Since her family is so close to our family, why didn't they come back to take a look when Grandpa passed away? Was it just because they were the people who had saved Grandma's life? That said, how did Eva's grandfather save Grandma's life?"Marcus sighed. "A few decades ago, which was when my grandpa was young, the Shaw family had always been in the military and politics. At that time, he had been stationed at the borders all year round, and he had offended plenty of criminals surviving at the borders of those lawless regions. Those kinds of people were very cruel. They were no match for my grandpa, so they thought of ways to abduct my grandma. Back then when Eva's grandfather was not the Shaw family's housekeep
"Ruth is my maternal aunt's daughter. She is also a true relative of the Shaw family. But what about Eva? Everybody knew that the Yerbury family were maids of the Shaw family for generations. Which person from high society would be willing to humble himself to marry a daughter of a maid? Unless that man was willing to do so himself and they are truly in love, then that would work. However, how can my grandpa tell if that person is willingly doing so? Only Eva, herself, can fight for this kind of love. How can my grandpa just carelessly agree? My grandpa knew it best that family status was something that had been existing since ancient times. It existed out in the open in the past, but it's in an invisible form now. This was something that can't be helped."In the end, my grandpa truly could not think of a way anymore, so he could only let little Eva and her parents go abroad together. It's considered as letting her further her studies and become a better version of herself. Eva's pare
Eva cried and wailed. She was a couple of years older than Marcus. She had played with Marcus when they were children, but when Eva went abroad along with her parents, Marcus was still young. He actually had not much of an impression of her. The reason why he knew and was able to recognize Eva when she saw her was all because his parents and his grandfather had once spoken to him about her. In addition, when his three brothers sent the photos over, Marcus would occasionally be able to see Eva and her parents.In fact, Marcus would spend some time abroad everywhere. However, it so happened that he never met Eva every time. She would either be in school or attending summer camps, winter camps, or bonfire parties with the other children abroad. She had lived a very free life. She was simply a proper lady from an eminent family. She was living more freely than Marcus, the true young master of the Shaw family. She was such a free girl, so Marcus, the young master of the family, had nothing
"I was so pissed that I was almost going to vomit blood! In the end, she even joined hands with Sebastian and had the security guards throw me out. After that, they even sent me to the police station! How can such a thing happen? Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni! Who the hell is that woman? Have you asked Sebastian? Also, what exactly does Sebastian have on his mind? I have flown back here with great sincerity and I've deliberately come back to go on a blind date with him!"Eva had great grievances, was very self-absorbed, and very arrogant as she spoke. She did not feel that her behavior of barging into Sebastian's company was rude. She did not even bother to inquire if Sebastian was married or not. From the bottom of her heart, she simply thought that she was a highly knowledgeable woman who had returned from abroad. She also had the Shaw family's glory on her. She was such a woman who had returned from abroad, had an open and advanced mindset, and looked so beautiful. There should be very
Eva was stunned. "W-What? Marcus?"She absolutely could not believe it. Following that, she asked again, "You guys want me to marry Marcus?"It was not that she did not want to be married into the Shaw family. She wanted it very badly. Her parents had secretly told her countless times since she turned 13, "Eva, you're now thirteen years old and you have your period as well, so you're considered a big girl now. Let me tell you something. From the root of it all, our family is considered the Shaw family's maids. However, things are different now. We've allowed them abroad. You also received the best education. We have a chance to turn things around, and the chance is here now as well."The eldest son of the Shaw family is already of age, but he doesn't have a partner yet. You have to seize this opportunity to make your move. There are four Shaw brothers in total. The eldest is slightly older than you, but he may be the one in charge of the entire Shaw family in the future. If you were
Just like that, time was wasted one year after another. Eva did not marry into a good family when she was already more than 30 years old. Not only that, but Eva even was so spoiled that she had a bad habit of being arrogant. From the bottom of her heart, she already thought that she was an elite from a noble and eminent family. She even thought that she always had four brothers and she was the only girl in the family. She considered herself to be a young lady of the Shaw family. This kind of mindset had been deeply planted in her mind.After that, when she was looking at men out there, she felt that no one was worthy of being with her. However, she no longer tried to have any ideas about the men in the Shaw family anymore because she knew that they would never marry her. Never had she ever expected that at that moment, Keegan would be telling her that the person he wanted to introduce to her to be her boyfriend was actually the youngest master of the Shaw family, Marcus.Of course, E
After he asked that question, Marcus already knew what was going on. His parents should be talking about the matter of Yvonne condemning Eva at the Ford Group. Perhaps once Eva was released, she told her parents, and her parents made a call to Marcus' parents. After all, she was a pampered girl. She could not stand suffering a tiny bit of disadvantage at all. After she had a little disadvantage, she had to tell her parents.Without waiting for his parents to reply, Marcus took over the phone that was in his father's hand and listened to what the person on the other end said. On the other end of the call, the woman was complaining in tears. "Sir and madam, our family, the Yerbury family, had been utmost loyal to the Shaw family. Our family of three followed the three youngest masters and had been taking care of them since their childhood. We have taken meticulous care of them. We truly have done our duty with our very best. We only have one child, Eva. She had just returned to the coun
"She is just a girl who had just married into the Shaw family. Does she want to abuse us, the maids who had made great contributions, to death? She is not marrying into the Shaw family! She clearly wants to ruin the Shaw family! She wants to ruin the good reputation of the Shaw family that has been maintained for a hundred years!"Seeing that Eva's mother was in a fit of anger, Marcus did not argue with her. He just went along with whatever she said.However, Eva's mother was still relentless. "Now that my daughter has moved into the Shaw Residence, what would happen to Yvonne? If Yvonne is in the Shaw Residence, then my daughter won't stay there. As maids, even if we were to be poor as hell and no matter how lowly our status is, we still have dignity! Has Eva arrived home yet? If she has, get her on the phone. I will ask her to move out! I will ask her to move out now. I will let her come back to us after a few days. From then on, we will no longer have any relations with the Shaw f
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
