Sabrina's heart sank.Sabrina had just mentioned to her the night before to find a few men to protect Yvonne. In the end, Yvonne unexpectedly went out of town the following day. How could there be such a coincidence? She had a very bad sense of foreboding for some reason."Yvonne, where…have you gone? Come back quickly! Come back quickly!" Sabrina blurted out."What's the matter, Sabrina? Do you have something urgent? However, even if you have something urgent, I will not be able to return for the time being. That's because I have already arrived. Even if I were to buy train tickets or flight tickets, I will not be able to return anytime soon. If you have aunty trouble, let Ruth help you out. I will return as soon and as quickly as I can. Don't be anxious, alright?" Yvonne asked in confusion.When Sabrina heard that Yvonne was worrying and comforting her instead, she suddenly felt guilty. She should not have been so anxious.Yvonne had grown up quite a lot because of the matter th
Upon saying that, Yvonne hung up the call. Over on this end of the call, Sabrina became even more worried than she was before. That kind of foreboding she had felt absolutely very real.She immediately called Marcus. "Marcus, are you together with Yvonne?"Marcus immediately replied on the other end of the call, "No, Sabrina. Are you looking for Yvonne? Did she not go to work today?"Sabrina was speechless. Even Marcus did not know what Yvonne was up to? How could she keep it a secret from Marcus? Could she have gone to meet up with another man?However, after Sabrina gave it another thought, that was impossible. Yvonne was not that kind of person. Her relationship with Marcus was not any less than Sabrina's relationship with Sebastian. What the hell was Yvonne up to?Sabrina was so worried that she was unable to do anything. However, she did not dare to give Yvonne a fright. She was afraid if Yvonne was scared, she would become a mess. If some criminals were really following Yvon
How could there be such a coincidence? Sabrina was frantically looking for Yvonne, but Yvonne's phone happened to be switched off? The worry and anxiety in Sabrina's heart got even stronger.However, as she could not say anything at that moment, all she could do was look at Ruth calmly. "Ruth, my stomach is a little upset, so I'll be heading to the restroom. I may take a little longer, so keep an eye out for me, and if a call comes in, answer it.""I got, Sabrina. Go on," said Ruth immediately. Sabrina took her phone and headed out quickly.Not long after that, Ruth received a call, so she answered it. "Hello, may I know who is on the line? Are you calling to engage our service? Miss Scott's ideas and experience in design are absolutely top-notch…"That was the usual sales talk that everyone would say during work. Ruth could not possibly have thought that Sabrina's landline in her office would have calls coming in for private matters.However, before Ruth finished her words, a cle
"Bye, Aino."After she hung up the phone, Ruth sat quietly in the office waiting for Sabrina. However, after waiting for ten minutes, Sabrina still has not returned from the restroom. Could it be that she was having such diarrhea that she could not leave the restroom?Ruth immediately ran into the restroom, but unexpectedly, she found that Sabrina was actually making calls over and over again."Hello, Mister Yates. You don't know where Yvonne went as well? She didn't tell you? Oh. It's fine. It's nothing, Mister Yates. I'm just looking for her because of a small matter. I have a small item that is locked in her desk in her office and I just wanted to take it back.""Yvonne! Just…switch on your phone! Come on! Switch it on!"Sabrina tried calling Sebastian's phone again. Nobody answered. She tried calling Sebastian's landline at his office again. In the few minutes where she was waiting for the phone to be picked up, Sabrina felt that she had been waiting for a century. However, so
Sabrina was completely befuddled. It was very obvious the voice on the other end of the call was not Yvonne's. Also, it was a cold and emotionless male voice."May I know who you are?'"Are you the patient's family?" That voice on the other end was still ice-cold.Sabrina was stunned. "What did you say? Patient? Who is sick? Is it the owner of this phone?"The voice on the other end of the call went from cold to stern. "What exactly are you? If you are the patient's family or friend, please let me know. We are currently looking for the patient's family! If you're neither, please hang up the phone immediately. Don't interfere with our work.""I am, I am, I am!" Sabrina said continuously. "I am the patient's sister. Please tell me what sickness the patient is suffering from? Where is she? I'll come over right now." Sabrina's voice was already shaking.The person on the other end sighed. "This is the small city in the southern area near Zoshington. She has been knocked over by a car
"Alright!"After Sabrina hung up the phone, she pondered in silence. She wanted to be calm. The more she encountered such matters, the calmer she had to me. Every minute and every second passed so slowly as if a year had already gone by when, in fact, it had only been half an hour. Sabrina's phone rang again.She picked her phone up to take a look and answered it. "Hello, Marcus?"On the other end of the line, Marcus immediately said, "Sabrina, I was a little busy in the morning. You had called me to ask about Yvonne. Is there something I can help you with?"Sabrina was speechless. Logically speaking, the first number that was saved on Yvonne's phone should be Marcus' number. After Yvonne had met with an accident, the first thing the local doctor would have done was to call Marcus. However, from what Sabrina had heard over the phone, it seemed like Marcus still did not know that Yvonne had met with an accident.What was going on? Sabrina took a pause and then said calmly, "It's fi
They still did not know? Sabrina was so anxious that her heart was in pain. She grabbed the doctor's hand. "Doctor, please…please tell me, is my sister…is my sister dead or alive? How badly injured is she? Just tell me alright? I'm begging you."The doctor shook his head. "I..really don't know."He sighed. "However, I can tell you that she had already been in the operation room for nearly six hours and she is still not out yet."It has been nearly six hours. Was it that not the time Sabrina first gave Yvonne a call? In other words, Yvonne had met with a car accident right after Sabrina ended her call with her?"That's not right!" Sabrina grabbed the doctor. "If it's according to what you had said, the time she met with the accident should be this morning. I happened to have given her a call at that moment. When I called her phone the second time, her phone was already switched off. I have been looking for her since then. I am very curious. If she had already met with an accident th
"There's another thing… she is already…"Before the doctor finished his words, Yvonne, who was on the hospital bed, suddenly woke up. She suddenly opened her tired eyes, and when she saw Sabrina, tears instantly streamed down her face and drenched the bandage covering her face. Yvonne's voice was so weak that it was barely audible. "S-Sabrina, is that…you?""It's me, Yvonne. It's me!" Sabrina was doing her best to hold her tears back."What happened to you, Sabrina? How did you get involved in a car accident? Why are you here in this small city in the south? What the hell is going on? Who knocked you over?" Sabrina asked continuously.Yvonne cries even harder. Her voice was very weak, but it was filled with hopelessness and sorrow. "Sabrina, I…was really too silly… My love… I've fallen in love with the wrong person, after all…""Why would you say that? What exactly happened?" Sabrina asked.What exactly happened? Yvonne smiled miserably. What exactly happened was that her life se
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
