Mister Yates lamented, "Things never happen if it's not the time, but when they happen, we can't avoid them. Yvonne's an adule now, she should know about it."Missus Yates hesitated, "But I... I'm afraid Yvonne...""She's your own daughter, what are you afraid of?" Mister Yates put his arms around Missus Yates.Missus Yates's eyes turned red, "We were supposed to go shopping and cook a delicious meal for our daughter to appease her. Now we have come back empty-handed, ah...""It's okay." Mister Yates comforted his wife. At that moment, a chirpy voice suddenly spoke, "Dad! Mom! Aren't you afraid of being seen? You're an old couple, but you're still so lovey-dovey. I'm jealous! Hmph!"The couple turned around and saw Yvonne carrying groceries and breakfast in her hands."Where have you… where have you been, girl?" There was an obvious panic in Missus Yates' eyes.If Yvonne also went to the farmer's market, did she witness the scene at the farmer's market?Yvonne immediately sai
The policeman repeated himself, "The pickpocket, he claims he knows Mister Yates. He wants Mister Yates to come and bail him out."Yvonne was stunned. She looked at her parents in a daze, holding the receiver in her hand, and then asked her parents, "What's going on?"Yvonne's parents bowed their heads.Yvonne had to say into the receiver, "I see. We'll come as soon as possible."When she hung up, she became slightly agitated, "What's going on? How did this happen when you went out for morning exercises? Marcus bought that necklace as a gift for you. The necklace was stolen, but you were indifferent and didn't let me call the police.Now the police have found him on their own initiative. Is the pickpocket who stole the necklace at the police station now?Dad!Mom!What the hell is going on?Can you tell me?! At this time, please don't make any trouble!"Yvonne, who seldom got angry with her parents since she was a child, finally could not help it at this moment.She ha
"So what if I did?" The man smiled shamelessly. "I just robbed her, but I also wanted to strangle her! I just don't have enough strength!" The man said maliciously.Mister Yates shook his head contemptuously, "You stole it, but you were caught. The necklace still has to be returned to us. Not only that, but you have to go to jail!"The man looked at Mister Yates defiantly, "So, I asked the police station to call you and ask you to bail me out. And you're here, aren't you? "Dad got up and stood up immediately, "Do you think I will bail you out? This is a crime! Being a street robber is a real crime! So many people are watching! Don't you know how harmful you are? You're not just a robber, you're a junkie! You want me to bail you out? I have no right to bail you out! Even if I do, why should I? You're delusional!" The man shrugged it off, but said in a threatening tone, "Anyway, I'm used to getting in and out, and I have no money now. Arrest me, and it'll just give me a chance to
"What did you say? What kind of shit did you just spew from your mouth?! Your mother's the whore. Your entire family are whores! You pickpocket! Robber!" Yvonne spat. Her parents were the most perfect.Since she was born, she has never seen her parents gotten angry or quarrel. They loved each other very much. How could her mother have been a mistress?"My mother is not a mistress, my mother has always been faithful. Your mother is a shameless and dirty mistress!""You're bluffing!" Yvonne suddenly stood up, and burst into tears. She would never allow anyone to insult her mother.But the man was very calm: "I am not. Ask your dad!"Yvonne turned to look at her father.She hoped to find the answer from her father's face.Mister Yates did not look at Yvonne, but he also looked at the man calmly: "Is your mother a mistress? In fact, you will know by looking at yourself. When your mother gave birth to you, your mother and I were still married.But you are not my child.Is your
"She is your mother! You should respect her! You should always remember that your mother is the best mother in the world and the one you really admire! " Yvonne's uncle looked at Yvonne sharply.Yvonne teared up, unhappy. She asked in confusion, "Is it all untrue?"At this time, her aunt came up, looked at Yvonne, and said earnestly, "Girl, whether or not your mother is a mistress is all in the past. Let's say she is not. Even if she is, your mother and your father have been legally married for more than 30 years now. Now, at this juncture, how can it be so coincidental that ancient history that's more than 30 years old have been brought up again?Obviously, it's premeditated.It's aimed at the Yates family. It's aimed at you, girl. If at this time, we fight among ourselves, we will really fall into the trap of others. You will be laughed at by others, those who plotted this will get away with it. Do you understand, girl?"Her aunt's words snapped Yvonne out of it.She stoppe
Eva, who was sitting in the hospital bed, gently comforted Oliver Shaw and his wife, "Uncle, aunty, don't be too angry. It's not worth being angry about such a person. We are all educated families. Naturally, you don't know how unscrupulous those ordinary families are when they want to climb up the ladder.It is also because my brother Marcus is too kind-hearted, so he is more tolerant of being exploited."The words were clearly meant to comfort Marcus parents. In fact, every word was laid against Yvonne and Yvonne's parents.At this moment, Oliver was very angry. Hearing Eva's encouragement, he became even more furious, "Marcus! Divorce this woman! Leave her at once! The Shaw family shouldn't have such a woman! As it turned out, she's unrefined! She's base!" Marcus' mother has a much better temperament, "I don't think Yvonne is such a person. She and Sabrina, and Ruth are good friends. Sabrina and Ruth are our relatives. How can they deceive Marcus?Besides, Yvonne has lived in ou
Yvonne's mother had already become the target of criticism. Some people even began to spat at her mother. They were in an era where mistresses were rampant and everyone hated them.Her mother burst out crying. "I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong. I didn't do anything wrong. Why are all of you doing this to me? I am not wrong. I am not wrong…"Her mother, who had always been strong and gentle, was incomparably weak at that moment. There was even a moment when Yvonne saw an expression of disgust for life on her mother's face. Yvonne suddenly felt terrified. Her mother had been such a strong woman. She was both gentle and strong. She would discuss every big and important matter in the family with Yvonne's father. Sometimes when her father could not make a decision, her mother would also provide the correct opinion.Just like the matter of Ruth not having a place to stay back then. Even Yvonne's father thought that Ruth had failed to do the right thing, had misbehaved, and done bad things. Th
In fact, Vincent Yates and Helena Larson were both not from South City. They had only settled down in South City after they got into the college in the city. Both Vincent and Helena were considered to be childhood sweethearts. Even after half of their lives had already been in their past, when Vincent walked down the memory lane and recalled the first time he had met Helena, a doting smile would still appear on his face."Yvonne, do you know this? When I first met your mother, she was only five years old. I was not much older. I was a child as well and I was only one year older than her. However, I still looked as if I was much older. Your mother, on the other hand, had a small dirtied face with only two eyes exposed. However, when I just saw two eyes, I just felt that she was the most beautiful girl in the world and she certainly will become my wife in the future." Vincent smiled as he said that, tears that welled up in his eyes streamed down his cheeks.When Vincent was just born,
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
