Kingston was shocked. "You…can't be working in that kind of profession, right?"That was Kingston's first reaction. At the same time, he was worrying because Yvonne also had no one to rely on and was at her wit's end. He wondered what kind of job she would be working to support herself and both her children. All of the thoughts in his mind were negative.Eevonne smiled miserably. "Kingston, even you think that way. You can imagine what my family and my relatives think about me, right?"Kingston's expression was darkened and also surprised as he looked at her. "If you're not working that kind of job, then you are?"At that moment, Kingston did not understand what Eevonne meant.There was a kind of pride in her tone that was not easily detected. "Kingston, it may be unexpected to you, but I'm actually a very intelligent girl. I'm very intelligent when it comes to learning and acceptance. It was just that I had low self-esteem when I was a student and my family was so poor that I cou
"They felt that my clothes were dirty, I was smelly, silly, and I have always been looking down on the floor when I walked, so how could I be more successful than their children? My mother used the money I had sent her in the first month to buy new clothes for my grandparents, my uncle and his wife, and also my cousins. She even bought them lamb, ham, and all sorts of gifts. She had spent more than a thousand dollars and she went to my grandparent's house. In the end, her spirits were dampened by my uncle and his wife."Kingston could not help but ask, "She brought so many gifts to your grandparent's house, but she was still not welcomed?""My uncle and aunt had no problems with my mother. They have always known that my mother is a good person. Not only them, but even the people in my grandparent's village knew that my mother is a good daughter, a good sister, and a good aunt. The person they slandered was not my mother but me. Do you know what my uncle and aunt said about me?" Eevon
Kingston looked at the girl before him nervously. He was thinking that no matter what had the girl done in the past, he would not dislike her for it. She would still be her friend and would still treat her as his own benefactor. That was because it was truly difficult to judge if a person was good or bad. Even if she was a criminal in prison, she would also have her good side.Take Sabrina, for example. She had been imprisoned for a few years in the past. Could that be enough to determine that Sabrina was a bad and despicable person who deserved to be condemned?No.It was quite the opposite. Sabrina was an incredibly proud, kind, and good person who bore no ill-will toward others.Kingston looked at the girl in front of him with an even gentler gaze and said in a tone that was just as incredibly gentle, "Eevonne, no matter what kind of job you've done in the past that you're going to be telling me next, in my eyes, you're a good girl. You'll forever be my benefactor. I have seen t
"In that office, not only did I have to finish my own work every day, but I also had to make tea for everyone and be scolded by them."Kingston was speechless. Actually, in all fairness, this kind of thing was something he had seen very often, so he was not shocked by it. Putting aside other places and just looking at the Ford Group, this kind of phenomenon was also happening all over those small departments and small branches. If a newcomer was dishonest or would not conform to the group, the person would more or less be taught a lesson by the older staff.Just take Sabrina, for example. When she first started working at the architectural design firm, she was also ostracized to the point that she almost could not continue working there.Fortunately, Sabrina was a person who was unfazed by flattery or humiliation. Her beauty, meticulous thoughts, calmness, and her competency at work could forcibly subdue many people. Besides, Sabrina had very strong support behind her, who was Sebas
"You wouldn't look down on me because of this?" Eevonne asked in disbelief.Kingston laughed incredibly brightly. "You're truly a very cute and silly girl. Of course, I won't look down on you. On the contrary, I felt you're quite witty."Eevonne was speechless. It was after a long while that she asked, "Why is it that you won't look down on me?"Kingston gave it a thought. "Many years ago, I met a girl, and her life at that time was even tougher than yours. At that time, she even had a child with her. When she was looking for a job, she kept getting rejected because she did not have the academic qualifications. In the end, she was already at her wit's end, so she faked her academic qualifications. Since then, she had been working the same job until today. She is already the best of the best in the industry, but she still didn't have a college degree.""R-Really?" Eevonne asked.Kingston nodded. "Of course, it's real.""In fact, a person's academic qualifications don't mean anythi
"Also, he would be criticizing me in front of the whole company. Ever since then, if I say that my position in the company can't even be compared to a dog, would you believe me, Kingston? However, what can I say? Firstly, I did use a fake diploma to get a job that was not supposed to be mine. In terms of my own vanity, I truly did not want to give up because this job at the company would allow me to lift my head up high in front of my mother and her family. Didn't they think that I was a despicable and good-for-nothing person? Didn't they think that a middle school graduate like me was incompetent and would not have a better job than their children, who were college graduates? Look at me. I am now working an office job in a company in the big city. How dignified!"Kingston was speechless. When Eevonne was experiencing that all in the past, he was not involved. He thought that if he was involved at that time, he might be influenced by her boss. On top of that, the girl truly was vain,
Tears welled up in Eevonne's eyes again. "No, I am not a good girl, Kingston. I'm a hot mess. I was not sensible at all. Kingston, I had truly regretted all those things that I had done. Do you know? There is a good saying which says that every pitiful person must have made some mistakes in the past that made them that way. Do you know when I was at the most pitiful moment in my life? It was not when I was discovered to have faked my diploma. It was also not when I stood in front of the entire company was reprimanded in public. It was…it was when I went to my boss, who already hated and looked down on me very much, and asked if I could borrow money from him to satisfy my vanity and to put up a pitiful pride in front of my family. Guess what happened in the end? Once again, that boss used me as an example and criticized me in front of the entire company. He said that my fantasies were too sweet in front of everyone. He said that I was having nothing more than wishful thinking and it was
That kind of grievance was deeply-rooted in her and was unable to be removed."Kingston, do you know the feeling of being brainwashed?" Eevonne raised her teary eyes and looked at him.Kingston immediately put her in his arms. "Tell me, who is that boss? Where is he now?"Eevonne shook her head, smiled miserably, and said, "Kingston, don't blame him. Blame me.""Don't talk about yourself like that, Eevonne!" Kingston said.She shook her head firmly. "Kingston, the matter has already passed so long. Gradually, I understood some people may never be office workers after working for their whole life. She would forever be in the production line. She would just be a part of the working class and at the bottom of society. However, she could still be respected by others. Do you know why? It is because she doesn't owe others anything. She has her feet on the ground. She is not vain. She would stay on her job and work hard to do her job well. She would use her outstanding results to gain 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
