"I got it, Sebastian." At that moment, Marcus listened to Sebastian.He knew that Sebastian had never wanted to harm him since the very beginning. Not only did Sebastian not harm him, but he kept helping him. At the critical juncture, Marcus had to listen to Sebastian.Only then did Sebastian look at Eldon. "I'll give you a chance to tell me!"In fact, Sebastian had a different thought deep down. He could tell that the man named Eldon was not a simple man. The man had an imposing air and was very arrogant but was calm and collected. The most valuable part was that after he had already been exposed, he was still wholeheartedly thinking on behalf of his master.It was rare to find such a man in that day in age. If he could speak, he certainly would not be spewing nonsense.He said that he was not easy to mess with, so he certainly still had some ways to defend himself and get out of the situation. Therefore, Sebastian wanted to let him speak. Sebastian wanted to know what other tr
Sebastian clenched both his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Minerva, tell me, where…are you? Where are you right now?"Minerva was out of breath from crying, and one could imagine the terror in her tone. "Uncle Sebastian, I… I don't know. I… I don't know where I am. They… They said… They said if you don't come to save me, they will chop off one of my fingers… Uncle Sebastian… Ouch… It hurts…" Minerva sobbed.Within a minute, Sebastian's eyes were burning with rage.He glared at Eldon with his reddened eyes. "Eldon…"He had to admit that up until that point, Eldon was still very calm. "Mister Ford, I was only making a bet. I was betting that you would save Minerva Payne. Despite her addressing you as her uncle, she is not related to you by blood at all. You can save her. You can also…not save her.""Stop spewing nonsense, Eldon! Where is she?" Sebastian asked while emphasizing every word.It was an oversight on his part. He had overlooked it.He had only protect
"Spare my master. Don't pursue this matter anymore. We have already failed, and we longer impose a threat on you and the Shaw family anymore. Therefore, spare my boss. Let this end here," said Eldon. "Alright!" Sebastian agreed without any hesitation at all."Please make a call right now to release all airports and train stations, as well as cut off all surveillance." Eldon's plan to escape was flawless.Sebastian immediately took out his phone and made a call quickly. "Release all the entrances and exits. Don't pursue the matter anymore."After he hung up the call, he immediately said to Eldon, "Take me to my niece immediately!""I had already given the order. Your niece has a doctor specializing in reattaching fingers in front of her. Her finger can still be reattached." Before Eldon finished his sentence, he was punched by the infuriated Nigel. Nigel's eyes were burning with rage. "Monster! I'll beat you to death right now!"One punch after another!When Nigel was punching
When Sebastian, Marcus, and Nigel rushed to the hospital where Vireo was, Minerva's finger had indeed been reattached. However, she was so frightened that she fell unconscious a few times.Vireo, who had just completed an operation, saw Minerva having a fever and in a half-conscious state. Vireo, who had always been gentle and sophisticated, got so angry that he was about to rush out after picking up a scalpel."Who was it? Who had done this to my niece? I'll kill him!" The man felt so resentful that tears were streaming down his cheeks.Immediately after, Sebastian, Nigel, and Marcus rushed in.The few of them surrounded Minerva, who was unconscious, and they did not leave her side.After a long while, Minerva's fever subsided, and she gradually became conscious. At first, she kept calling out, "Uncle, save me, uncle…""I'm here!""I'm here!"Sebastian and Vireo answered at the same time. Both of them stood on either side of her bed. Minerva gradually opened her eyes.The f
Who should Sebastian look for to settle scores? He punched into the hospital wall. The skin of his hand was chopped off, and he was bleeding, but he felt no pain.The few men sat inside Minerva's ward and kept watching over her.The most pitiful person in this whole ordeal was definitely Minerva. Even Yvonne was not as pitiful as her.All of them just kept waiting there until Minerva became fully conscious after three days. The doctor had already checked up on her as well. Her finger has been reattached, so after resting for a while, her finger will be able to recover. That was considered a great blessing, as it could have been much worse.Minerva was physically still in one piece, but the trauma she had suffered was something that nobody could understand.That matter had come to an end after one of Minerva's fingers was chopped off and reattached.The Ford family's fortune was not harmed at all. Even 90 percent of the Shaw family's fortune was saved by Sebastian as well. In
After he hung up the call, Sebastian headed out. Nigel stood in front of him, blocking him. "Sebastian, where are you going? You've found Eldon?""Yes!" said Sebastian."You're going to…""I'm making a trip abroad," said Sebastian.Nigel grabbed him immediately and said, "Sebastian, I have an unresolved grudge with Eldon's boss!"Sebastian patted him on his shoulder. "Nigel, I am the same as you. Even the Shaw family feels the same.""Sebastian, take me with you!" Nigel looked at him like he knew him very, very well.Nigel knew that Sebastian was going to be vicious this time.Sebastian smiled calmly and asked, "Nigel, when my half-brothers and I fought and tried to kill each other back then, you were still very young. You might not have seen the cruel side of many things. Are you sure you want to come with me?"Nigel smiled miserably. "Sebastian, I was very young back then, but I had grown up after that. I had also gone through the incident on Star Island together with you in
"I had never wanted to harm her. I had no choice either. If I hadn't used Minerva to blackmail you, if I hadn't chopped off one of her fingers to threaten you, it would be impossible for my boss and me to leave South City alive. It was an action taken out of desperation. However, you have seen it as well. Minerva is considered to be unharmed in the end.""Unharmed? Unharmed? Are you even fucking human? What is this nonsense you speak of? She was abducted and treated by you for three days. How could you make up for her emotional abuse?""Yes! You're right. On some level, Minerva is unharmed! However, one of her fingers was indeed cut off by you! That kind of pain, shock, and endless fear was real, wasn't it?"She was just a young girl in her early twenties. She was abducted by you for nothing and one of her fingers was chopped off. You then reattached the finger and sent her back, and you said she is unharmed?""Eldon, thank you. You didn't let Minerva die, so I should thank you rig
Eldon wiped off the sweat on his head. "Yvonne is still alive."At that moment, Sebastian had no idea how to respond. Taking advantage of the moment Sebastian was silent, Eldon continued, "Yvonne was our first choice because we had discovered beforehand that Yvonne has a very good relationship with Marcus. Not only that, but she also has a very good relationship with Sabrina. Not only was she the sweetheart of the Yates family, but she was also Sabrina's and Marcus' sweetheart. Therefore, if something had happened to Yvonne, not only would Marcus have a fallout with the Ford group, Sabrina may even have a fallout with you. Consequently, you would be having internal and external trouble when the time comes."Sebastian could not help but feel a chill down his spine when he heard that.Before this, Sebastian had always been a person who was bold enough to charge forward. He had never felt that anybody would be his obstacle. He had never been an arrogant person, but after all these ye
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
