Neither of them had expected Eldon to die in front of them. Both Nigel and Sebastian were not that far away from Eldon's body. They were able to see a black hole in his head.Who was it? Who was the one who shot and killed Eldon?In that instant, Sebastian subconsciously raised his head and looked around.As soon as he did that, he saw a figure quickly shoot past the far side of the forest."Sebastian, the killer. The killer is over there. Don't let him get away!" Nigel shouted.Sebastian calmly took out his phone and made a call. "Have this forest surrounded! Not even a bird is allowed to fly out of here!"Upon making that call, both Sebastian and Nigel tailed the dark shadow closely as well.Although that person was fully covered in black clothes, he was unable to run fast. He was limping when he was running, and he looked a little like a girl.Before Sebastian's men had the person in black clothes surrounded, Nigel and Sebastian unexpectedly caught up to the person. To be mo
However, Frost never expected Sebastian would let Eldon go at the very last second.If Eldon were alive, then Sebastian would learn that she was Eldon's boss one day. In order to ensure that she was safe, she actually killed him to silence him.A woman truly could be extremely vicious!Eldon was so loyal and had worked so hard for her and her entire family, but what he got in return was Frost putting a bullet through his brain."Frost, you seem to have no idea, haven't you?" Sebastian asked coldly.Frost immediately laid down on her stomach in front of Sebastian. "Sebastian, I had no idea. I am clueless. I don't know anything about it. I only know that Eldon has wild intentions, and he wants to be successful. He was not a good person.""I was afraid… I was afraid that would harm the Ford family sooner or later. I then followed him around all day long. I thought, instead of letting him harm your family, why don't I kill him. This way, I would be getting rid of any trouble that may
After the young man was done crying, he watched as Sebastian and Nigel's car drove into the distance. His gaze was very determined, but nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment.Sebastian and Nigel's car were already further and further away.Sebastian directly detained Frost and escorted her to the restaurant in that village where those few families had agreed to meet. That was the first time those families got together after Marcus' grandfather passed away.They originally booked three tables and thought that it would be enough to fit everybody. However, it was after they had arrived that they realized Alex had brought Jane and the children over. Ryan also came along with them.A few months had passed since Ruth had a conflict with Ryan, and she returned to South City after running away from the Poole Residence.It felt like a lifetime had passed when they met again that day."Ruth, have you been well during this period?" Ryan asked.Ruth's tone was already very calm. "
"I earned it all by myself. My life is without pressure, and I feel especially strong. Also, I would still have a few dollars left over every month. One year later, I would be able to have more than one thousand dollars in savings. I will be very happy to have my own savings. I mean it. I just feel I am going great right now."Upon saying that, Ruth looked at Ryan again.After taking a look at him, tears instantly welled up in Ruth's eyes. "R…Ryan…"Ruth felt a lump in her throat as soon as she called out to him, "Ryan… We… I have already thought it through. Both of us are truly not suitable for each other. Let's…get a divorce!"After she said that, Ruth's tears immediately gushed down her cheeks.At that moment, was she still in love with Ryan?Yes. She loved him very much, deep down.However, she truly could not stand being in the Poole family and being disliked by her mother-in-law anymore. She had brought both her sons with her back to South City. Originally, she thought tha
Ryan sneered. "Hmph! You don't even know what happened to your sons, and you had the cheeks to say that I don't care about you and don't take care of your sons?"Ruth was speechless."Ruth! Everybody has different ways to get along with one another. The reason Uncle Alex could treat Aunt Jane as the apple of his eyes and let her do whatever she pleased was that she has never been one to do whatever she pleased, to begin with. Even if you were to take a butcher's knife and put it in her hands, the first thing she would do is not to use the knife to kill others. Instead, she would be so frightened that she would faint in Uncle Alex's arms. She always takes the big picture into consideration! She would always keep all of the grievances that she has suffered and all the disdainful treatments she has received from my grandmother and my aunt to herself! She would never let my uncle know! Everything that Aunt Jane did was for the sake of my uncle. She is devoted to him. My uncle knows that
"What are you trying to boast about, Ruth? Are you boasting about your integrity or your disdainfulness? Do you know if you boast like that, you're just gambling with your sons' lives? Bullshit, Ryan Poole! Since when have I gambled with my sons' lives? I admit that my sons are not living as comfortably as they did when they lived with the Poole family when they were with me. However, I've given them everything that I could give! No matter how willful and how unreasonable I am, I will never let my sons suffer no matter what! Ryan Poole, you've gone overboard!" Ruth actually cried because of what Ryan had said about her.When she heard what Ryan had said, she was actually reflecting on herself.Ryan was right. She was indeed a little self-centered. She never took the big picture into consideration, and she had always felt like she was making compromises for the greater good.However, Ryan said that she had mistreated her sons and had been gambling with their lives. That was an absolu
Ryan was so angry that he immediately shook off Ruth's hands."Also, the license of the daycare center that you had sent the children to was incomplete, but you just went with them because they are cheap! You were just thinking that they were cheap! Did you know why that center had dismissed two people? It was because those two people had priors for being hot-tempered in the local kindergarten. They more or less did not treat the children well. They were unable to find jobs in their hometowns! It's not to say that they had abused the children. The main thing was that their lives had never been smooth sailing, which led to them losing their temper and having mood swings very easily. Have you investigated their backgrounds when you handed your children to them? It's reasonable to say that a person's misfortune in his or her family and the mishaps in all aspects are not enough to prove anything. It would be fine as long as the person knew how to keep themselves in control and how to love
"Therefore, Hana exhausted all the ways to take care of my parents. To be honest, my parents didn't like Hana, at first. After all, this was her second marriage and she is older than me. However, after Hana had worked hard for so many years, they now love her more than they love me and my younger sister. That was what she had gotten in exchange for true affection. We're all a family. Nobody is more superior than the other, and nobody is more inferior than the other as well. The most important thing is to tolerate each other, get along with each other, and love and protect one another. Only that can maintain a good relationship in a family."Ruth looked at Zayn with tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Zayn. I know that you're…lecturing me out of the kindness of your heart.""Ruth, you have to restrain that temper of yours," Sabrina advised her.Ruth bit her lips and hung her head.Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Ryan said with disappointment, "Ruth, have you t
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
