They absolutely could not believe it. It was just yesterday that Yvonne's mother, Helena, was crying inconsolably and did not answer anything head-on. However, she was like a different person at that moment.Yesterday, those netizens chose to back off and not make a sound because they were pressured by Yvonne. However, at that moment, they were all completely confused by Helena's calmness as well as her thank yous.When she saw the group was dumbfounded, Helena continued asking the group of netizens and media reporters, "May I know if I need to strike any pose? What kind of pose would make me more photogenic? I am not a professional in this area, so you'll have to give me reminders."All the netizens and reporters were speechless."Are you going to record a video? I'll just pose properly beforehand." Helena already started to pose as she said that.The way she acted truly shocked the group of netizens so much that they did not know what to do anymore. Should they record a video? T
A man's voice could be heard coming from the other end of the phone. "May I know if you are Miss Yvonne Yates?""You are?" Yvonne asked in a suspicious tone."The situation is like this, Miss Yates. I am calling from the prison. I can't reach your father on his phone because it's switched. This is why I am calling you," said the man on the other end of the phone after he eased up his tone."Oh, hello, sir. What can I…do for you?" Yvonne asked while testing the waters.The man on the other end replied in a rather awkward tone. "That pickpocket, the man who said he is your father's illegitimate child, is facing some trouble right now. All of his bodily functions are very terrible. He is just a bag of bones. We have already checked his blood and DNA. That man and your father indeed are not in the slightest bit related at all. Just to be fair, we have also visited the city that your father had lived in back then. We've checked the date that he had gotten married and also the date this
The man smiled miserably. "Actually, we are really not siblings by blood. We neither share the same father nor mother. We are not related by blood at all. However, my dear sister, you may not know this, but I have always truly treated dad as my biological father since childhood."Yvonne was speechless. Even Vincent was touched.The man on the bed continued. "It's just such a shame that I have a mother who is a mistake. The thing I hated the most in this life is why did I have such a mother. Since I was a child, since the moment she knew I existed, she had never loved me. The reason she gave birth to me was, in fact, just to save her own life. After she had given birth to me, she had never bothered about me. It was my father who had been taking care of me. Dad, you had been teaching me and caring for me meticulously back then. I was only nearly four years old at that time, but I still could remember everything. I remember them very clearly. Dad, you have always loved me very much. I h
When Vincent heard that the dying man kept addressing him as his father, he could not help but feel heartbroken.He bent over and called out. "Son, go ahead and speak your mind. If you need money, as long as I have it, I will save your life."The man shook his head and was suddenly covered in tears. He wiped off his tears and told Vincen, "Dad, somebody…somebody is trying to kill all of you. That person…that person is very powerful. I don't know why they have their eyes on your family. However, that person…knew about your matter from thirty years ago like the back of his hand. That person was able to…find us. That's enough to prove that he certainly has great power over a wide territory. Also, I feel… I feel that person certainly has been planning for a very long time. Dad, I am sorry to have failed you. There's nothing much I can do to help you. For that tiny bit of money, I betrayed you. I am already regretting it very much. Also, I will never have the chance to make it up to you a
Marcus was speechless. He looked at the man on the bed and did not know what to say.However, the man on the bed smiled in relief. "I am already very satisfied. I am dying soon, and my only father, my only loved one in this world who is the best to me, is finally willing to speak to me and forgive me. I am already very grateful. Dad, I kept feeling that this matter is not that simple. You guys… you guys certainly have to be extra careful. Dad, I… I'll be taking my leave now… I'm leaving…"Upon saying those words, the man suddenly was not able to breathe. His arm that was raised suddenly dropped down.Vincent was speechless. After a long while, he suddenly burst out crying. "Son…"After all, the man was a child Vincent had raised for a couple of years. He had also truly taken this child as his own. So many years had passed. Vincent had never expected that the child would die right before his eyes. How could this not be a huge blow to Vincent?Vicent leaned on the bed and cried mise
Eva crawled to Yvonne, covered in tears. "I can. I can. I am willing. Didn't all those young men from eminent families in ancient times have plenty of wives and lovers? I don't need a proper status. I just want to stay in the Shaw family and stay by Master Marcus' side."Eva indeed wanted to marry into a wealthy family too badly. That was almost the wishful thinking that she has had all her life. She originally thought that after studying and improving herself abroad for so many years, she should be worthy to be with the young master of the Shaw family. Who would have expected that the young master of the Shaw family was already in love with someone else when she returned? How could Eva be content with that? How could she accept that?Could it be that Eva had to be someone else's maid all her life? No! She wanted to have Marcus' child. In the future, her child would then be justifiably a member of the Shaw family."As long as I am able to be by your side and have a child with you,
"Of course!" In fact, Yvonne also wanted a child very badly.Her parents were also urging her. Not only her parents, but even when she met up with Sabrina, Ruth, and Jane to shop together, the three women would also urge her as well."Yvonne, if you keep delaying having a child, your body is not going to recover that easily anymore by the time you have one," Jane told Yvonne very seriously.Yvonne looked at Sabrina."Is that true, Sabrina?"Sabrina nodded. "The more advanced the age of a woman when having a child, the harder it is for her body to recover. When the time comes, your belly would be big, and that won't be a very good look on you.""I don't want that! I want to have a child now! In any case, it's not going to be very obvious in the first four months of the pregnancy. I could then still work for Mister Cameron during the four months. This way, it doesn't affect my getting pregnant. I will get ready for it tonight. Haha." Yvonne was also a very eager girl.Right after sh
"Dear, why didn't you tell me that you're going to Zoshington? If I had known that you were going there, I would have asked you to help me buy some things," Yvonne asked with great confusion.Marcus hardly had any business in Zoshington. Therefore, Yvonne could not help but be slightly curious as to why Marcus had gone there.On the other end of the call, Marcus said in a mysterious tone, "I have to keep it a screen from you for the time being."Yvonne pouted. "What secrets do you have that you can't tell me? Tell me quickly! If you don't, I will fly to Zoshington now to look for you!"Yvonne indeed had been used to being impolite to Marcus, and she had always been very clingy with him.Marcus, on the other end of the call, finally laughed. "It's a surprise for you. Your birthday is right around the corner, isn't it? I was thinking that you have suffered quite a bit of grievance these days, so I wanted to give you something special for your birthday. Well! I could never keep any s
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
