"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
Sabrina absolutely could not believe it. She wanted to ask, 'My cousin? Are you talking about Marcus?'However, after Yvonne finished her words, she went unconscious again."She is too tired. She is severely injured and has just gone through an operation that lasted a few hours. Let her first take a rest," said a voice to Sabrina sternly.Sabrina nodded. "Alright."Yvonne was wheeled into ICU. Sabrina sat and waited outside. At that moment, Sabrina took out her phone and gave Marcus a call. On the other end of the call, Marcus answered very quickly, "Sabrina, you've called a few times today. Tell me, is something up with you? Is there anything that I can help you with? If something is up, don't lie to me. I am your cousin."Sabrina articulated every word. "Marcus, tell me, where are you now?"Marcus found it very strange. "I am out of town. I'm about to return to South City.""Which city are you in?" Sabrina asked again."Zoshington."Sabrina was speechless."What's wrong, Sa
Over the years, Sabrina had rarely ever cried. However, she cried so inconsolably for Yvonne this time.Sebastian's face was covered with a thick layer of murderous aura! No matter who it was, once the truth had been found out by Sebastian, he was certainly going to go on a killing spree this time! Sebastian had not been so vicious for many years. However, his thirst for blood was awakened once again this time."Now is not the time to cry. We have to wait for Yvonne to wake up." Sebastian comforted his wife.Sabrina was still crying inconsolably. "Yvonne…what happens if Yvonne's face is disfigured?"Sebastian shook his head. "She won't. She won't, Sabrina. Even if she is truly disfigured, I would also use all the medical technology in the whole world to restore her appearance."Sabrina nodded heavily. Both of them looked toward the ICU together. Time passed so slowly. Both Sabrina and Sebastian did not sleep a wink for the entire night that night. They simply sat outside of the IC
Sabrina said, "Yvonne, perhaps this is a misunderstanding?"Yvonne shook her head. Her voice was very weak, hoarse, and hopeless. She also had a sense that she had seen through everything in life. "Sabrina, all this while, I had always admired you for being on the run for six years. I've admired you even more for never relying on your husband despite him being so powerful. Instead, choose to be self-reliant.""What made me admired the most in the past was that Sebastian dotes on you so much, but you had never submitted to him. At this moment, I finally understood everything. You never wanted to be married into a wealthy family."That was because you had suffered enough hardships when you were living with the Lynn family during your childhood. The Lynn family was not considered a wealthy family, but they had already been filled with internal malicious conflicts to the point of plotting against one another? All wealthy families had always been despicable people since ancient times. I
Yvonne shook her head once again with incredibly strong hate for the world. "No, my parents would certainly be well taken care of by my cousin. I don't need to worry about them. Sabrina, I'm so tired…"Sabrina was speechless.Just when she was at a loss on how she should talk some sense into Yvonne, her phone rang.Sabrina did not even look at it and answered it in a hurry, "Sebastian, are you done with the payment? Buy some supplements, and remember that it has to be something soft. Yvonne had just finished her operation and had gotten out of the danger. She can't have anything too hard. Hurry up!"It was indeed because she was too anxious. On top of that, they were also in a foreign land, so Sabrina felt that the person who called her was Sebastian.However, as soon as she finished her sentence, Marcus' incomparably calm voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. "Sabrina, what did you say just now? You said Yvonne is at the hospital and had just gotten out of d
Marcus was stunned when he heard Sabrina.After being stunned for a long while, he said to Sabrina with an extremely incredulous tone, "What… What did you say? What do you mean Yvonne is missing?"Sabrina did not answer his question. Instead, she looked at him with a complicated expression. "Marcus, I want you to tell me the truth. It has already been so many years. Have you really treated me as your friend?""What friend?" Marcus answers with slight annoyance, "You're my cousin! Cousin! We're family. We're closer than friends. Sabrina, I'm begging you, this is not the time for us to discuss our kinship. You have to tell me what happened to Yvonne. How come she is missing? What the hell happened to Yvonne? Are you trying to kill me with anxiety, Sabrina?"Marcus had never been a person to burst out in anger like that. Sabrina also did not see the slightest bit of pretense in Marcus' expression.In fact, Sabrina knew well that Marcus was never a person to play pretend.However, th
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
