The move that Sebastian made was enough to disguise the truth.He did not want to tell Marcus that someone wanted to take advantage of them and destroy both the Ford Group and the Shaw family simultaneously.Sebastian let Marcus and the entire Shaw family blindly misunderstand that it was him who had gotten a person to pretend to be Marcus and then have Yvonne killed. Then, Marcus and his parents would hate Sebastian to their bone. That kind of deep-seated hatred could not be faked.Even when Gloria saw her son-in-law, she questioned him without caring about the time and place.Gloria had always been a decent person, and that was the first time she came to his company's entrance and burst out cursing at him.It was really because Gloria could not find him elsewhere. She called her daughter, but she did not even pick up the call. Later, Gloria gave it another thought. Her daughter was also in a difficult position being sandwiched in between them. Instead of questioning her daughter
Gloria instantly burst out in tears when she heard her brother saying that.She said to her brother in tears, "I'll go question Sebastian. If that jerk really wants to exterminate all of you, then I will kill myself in front of him!" That was Gloria's promise to her brother.However, in private, Gloria did not hate this son-in-law of hers at all.How should she explain to her brother then?Therefore, Gloria was caught between a rock and a hard place.At that moment, she was anxious beyond measure after she heard Sebastian's company's stocks kept falling.She grabbed the security manager's hand and shook it. "Tell me. Tell me quickly. What does it mean for the stocks to fall? Does the Shaw family defeat the Ford family?"If that were the case, then the weight on Gloria's chest would be slightly relieved. That was because she did not wish for her family, her brother, and her nephew to be killed by Sebastian.However, if the Shaw family had defeated Sebastian, she could beg fo
"His name is Eldon Carver?" Sebastian asked while looking at Kingston, who was standing in front of him.Kingston nodded. "Yes, Master Sebastian."Kingston's complexion looked dull. He was only away from Sebastian's side for a few days, and he already looked visibly thinner.He had always been a cheerful and healthy man, so much so that he was already a fully grown man, but he could often play together with Aino. He was very much a child at heart. However, because Yvonne had gone missing, the entire Yates family had been gloomy in those days.Kingston loved this cousin of his the most.In the past few days, he had been so heartbroken and so occupied looking for her, that he was already almost losing his original shape. At that moment, Kingston, who looked out of shape, was as vicious as Sebastian back then when he spoke, "This man named Eldon better not fall into my hands. If I caught him, I would skin him! I would break every bone in this body!"Sebastian raised his head to lo
The man was spirited, valiant, and had mature charm. He did not look like a bad person who would take advantage of others at all.Eldon's appearance, on the contrary, was the kind Marcus appreciated very much.This man was calm, reserved, and not arrogant at all. He was not at all cheesy, much less the look of new money. Marcus could not feel a chill down his spine. That made Marcus even more certain about one thing. This acquirer named Eldon had come prepared."Mister Carver, may I know, have you…been developing your business abroad all this while?" Marcus asked in a probing manner.Eldon did not want to answer Marcus. "Does that have anything to do with you?"Marcus said, "You…""Mister Shaw, goodbye!" Eldon got up and left.When Eldon got to the door, he turned his head back and said to Marcus very seriously, "Mister Shaw, you can't have your office, even your desk, and even anything at all in this entire building anymore by next week. You should know that well, right?"
Eldon had a sharp gaze and a calm expression. "Mister Shaw, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether the Shaw family's companies are still up for sale?""No, they are not!" No matter how foolish he was, Marcus was able to sense that something was not right at that moment.A faint smile appeared on Eldon's face. "I'm sorry, Mister Shaw, I'm afraid this decision is no longer yours to make because…"Marcus was so shocked that he took a few steps back. "You… Because of what?""Because I now hold fifty-one percent of shares of all of the Shaw family's companies combined. Right now, you no longer have the right to call the shots for your family's companies anymore. I, on the other hand, have the right to manage them."Marcus was speechless.He was completely stunned. Without him realizing it, the Shaw family had already lost the majority of its companies in the battle between them and the Ford family. They have lost so much that they do not even have the right to be in con
"Since he wanted to exterminate the Shaw family, then why are we still hesitating?"His mother opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.That was because she knew that her son had always been very meek and had never made enemies with anybody in his life. If he did not have an immense hatred, he never would have become like that. Once he had already made a decision, he certainly would not change his mind anymore.In the end, she just nodded. "Marcus, the whole family will stand by you until the very end!"Marcus smiled miserably. "Mom, I have good news for you. The Ford Group is also in hot water now. I'll head over to the Ford Group to have a look today. I'll see how Sebastian's doing right now!""Go on. Don't be afraid of him!" said his mother.Of course, Marcus was not afraid of Sebastian.If he had been afraid, he would not have announced to go against Sebastian like that. After he left his house, Marcus drove straight to the Ford Group.
"Aino Group?" That was the first time Marcus had heard the name of this group.Sebastian smiled very innocently again. "Marcus, you definitely had never heard of this group before. That is because this group still hasn't been activated. It's just for me to save my money.""Ninety percent of the Ford family's companies are under the Aino Group. Therefore, let alone seventy percent, even if a hundred percent of the Ford Group's shares were in Eldon's hands, it doesn't matter to me at all. Besides…"Before Marcus said anything, Eldon asked impatiently, "Besides what?" At that moment, a fire was burning in Eldon's eyes. It was as if he and Sebastian also had an irresolvable grudge between them. Sebastian looked at Eldon coldly. His gaze was filled with a murderous aura. "Besides, I sold that seventy percent of the shares to you at a high price. Now, the Ford Group's shares are falling continuously. When I repurchase the shares, I will only be using ten percent of what I sold you in
"Did you destroy the Ford family and the Shaw family just because you're loyal to your master? Is this what you, Eldon, a graduate of Oxen University, a man who had lived abroad for so many years and a well-known man in Northern Osone, would have done?" Sebastian asked coldly.Marcus, who was at the side, was speechless.The more he heard, the more confused he was.However, he seemed to have made a little sense from what he had heard as well. It seemed like Sebastian had already found out about many things, including Eldon's past.Hold on!Marcus suddenly looked at him. "Sebastian Ford! What are you talking about? What's it got to do with him? The person who caused the Shaw family to be broken is you, Sebastian Ford! What's it got to do with Eldon? Sebastian, at this juncture, are you going to put the blame on someone else and avoid taking responsibility yourself?"Sebastian looked at Marcus, questioning him fiercely, and ignored him completely.He only looked at Eldon and sai
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
