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
'Because I have never suffered in my life. However, I believe it now.''Not only have I not suffered in the thirty years of my life, but I've tasted too much sweetness. Ever since my childhood, I've always been the apple of my parents, my uncle and aunt, and also my cousin's eye.''My parents, uncle, and aunt would buy me exquisite birthday gifts every year. Later, after my cousin grew up and started working, he would buy me birthday gifts as well.''It was smooth sailing for my college days as well. Later on, I started working, and everything was smooth in my job as well. I've never even had any obstacles.''Sabrina, do you know why I liked you so much the first time I laid eyes on you and then decided to be friends with you?''That's because when I first met you, I was particularly attracted to that melancholic temperament you had on you. It was because I had never suffered in my life before. Your melancholic temperament made me feel that it was a kind of beauty that was stunnin
Yvonne was pregnant?Sabrina was stunned when she heard that.She was so shocked that she could not speak for a long while.Yvonne had always rejected the idea of having a child. Just recently, she was willing to try for a child, but she was already pregnant with twins. How delightful must she be?However, Yvonne's whereabouts were unknown at that moment."How come you didn't tell me earlier that she is pregnant?" Sabrina grabbed the doctor and glared at him with her eyes filled with rage.The doctor said helplessly, "I wanted to tell you yesterday. Just as I was about to say it, the patient woke up. Both of you were in a hurry to speak to the patient, so I didn't get to finish my sentence."Sabrina suddenly remembered it. The doctor indeed had something to tell her yesterday, but she cut him off before he finished his sentence.At that moment, what would be the point of blaming the doctor? He was only responsible for treating and saving the patient. He would involve himsel
Sabrina could not help but weep silently.Sabrina said to Marcus in tears, "Marcus, what exactly is going on? Yvonne said she saw that the person driving toward her was indeed you. She would not have suddenly disappeared when she was severely injured and pregnant if she weren't sure it was you.""In the past few days, all the news that Sebastian's subordinates sent back from every corner of the city was that they did not discover any suspicious person holding Yvonne hostage. That means it was Yvonne who had run away from the hospital herself."She did not want to see you. She was actually so deeply saddened that she didn't even notify her own parents. You could never imagine how this sudden drastic change and the feeling of her most beloved man wanting her dead made her feel. Do you know that, Marcus?"“Sabrina!" Marcus suddenly grabbed Sabrina's shoulders. "Tell me, Sabrina, is Yvonne… already dead?" Sabrina's heart suddenly sank.Would Yvonne have already died? Otherwise, how
"How can it be me?" Marcus kept muttering.Sabrina and Sebastian, who were next to him, stayed silent for a very long time.Seeing that Marcus had been muttering to himself for a few minutes, Sabrina could not help but raise her head and look at Sebastian. "Sebastian, has it been identified by a professional?"Sebastian shook his head. "The standards of the local technology could only identify that it was Marcus.""Do you believe it's Marcus?" Sabrina asked.Sebastian shook his head. "Of course, I don't."He had never believed that it was Marcus since the very beginning.Also, he was certain that there was a bigger plot behind this matter. It was just that he had come to this city to visit Yvonne with Sabrina, so he had not had the time to find out the result of the investigation in South City. However, even if Sebastian were not around, his men in South City would also do their best with the investigation since he had already given his orders.He believed that there would cert
Why?The couple cried so much at the hospital that they fainted multiple times. Sabrina, Ruth, and Kingston, as well as Kingston's parents, had been the ones who were taking care of Vincent and Helena.Sabrina kept comforting the couple and said, "Mister and Missus Yates, Sebastian would do everything he can to look for Yvonne. Right now, having no news about Yvonne is the best news. Both of you have to take care of your health. When Yvonne returns with her twins, she will need both of you to take care of her children. If your health is ruined, then who could Yvonne rely on?"What she said indeed made the couple much calmer. They were even willing to eat. Vincent even said with high spirits, "Sabrina is right. We have to take good care of our health so we can take care of our grandchildren in the future."Helena also nodded heavily. "Yes!"That was hope.Once a person has something to look forward to, the person will have the strength to live. Even if that kind of hope was sl
"Marcus, stop it!" Sabrina tried to block the punch, but she still could not prevent Sebastian from getting punched by Marcus.Nobody had ever beaten up Sebastian like that for nearly twenty years. However, Sebastian did not fight back.Sabrina felt so heartbroken as she touched Sebastian's face. "Sebastian, are you alright?"Sebastian smiled calmly. "It's just a punch. It's fine."On the other hand, the hatred in both of Marcus' eyes was like erupting volcanoes. He glared at Sebastian but smiled coldly and said, "Sebastian, you've come out on top in South City for many years, and the Shaw family and I have always respected you. Do you think we're afraid of you?""Wrong! The Shaw family is not as great as the Ford family now, but I am not an easy person to mess with! Even if my family can't compete with yours, I will let you have a taste of what it means to lose and have neither party gain anything in this war!""I have no children, and I'm all alone in the world. My three brothe
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
