Eevonne smiled. "That's right. I finally resigned. However, my resignation was not decent at all. I was thrown out of the company.""What?" Kingston asked."Because I often had arguments with my colleagues, everybody in the company looked down on me. Whenever I argued with someone, it would always be my fault. However, Kingston, when I argued with the other person on the following day, I had actually already endured it for a very long time. Do you believe me?"Before Kingston answered, Eevonne smiled. "You certainly won't believe me. Nobody would.""I believe you!" Kingston answered firmly."As the saying goes, once a man is down, people will take advantage of the situation to attack him. That is an old saying. You wanted to work in that company to earn your salary. Even if it was just because of your vanity, you did not want to leave that place at all. Since you wanted to keep that job so much, of course, you would want to suffer in silence to let the matter pass. If it wasn't be
"However, there are no ifs in this world. That's the harshness of reality. I was in that kind of situation back then where I basically had a small argument every three days and a huge argument every five days. Sometimes, I may even argue with a few people in just one day.""Actually, they were the ones who picked a fight with you, right?" Kingston asked.Eevonne shook her head. "To be honest, even until today, I can't distinguish if I was the one picking fights with them or they were the ones picking fights with me. I can't tell them apart clearly anymore. Perhaps this is a kind of, what is it? Butterfly effect? Domino effect? For example, I am in the office and I just had an argument with the colleague sitting next to me because of a work-related matter. In less than an hour, the factory manager reprimanded me. I did not dare to argue with him. I raised my head and looked at him very weakly and cowardly, and said, 'Did you already sign the papers yesterday agreeing to let your worke
Kingston gasped. "There's another matter that made you feel even more wronged?"Eevonne smiled miserably. "Mm-hmm. Actually, I can't even distinguish if it's my fault and if I was the one who just loves to pick fights with others, but on the matter of me arguing with others, I've categorized all of them as my fault. I've always ended up admitting defeat. Matters like being in conflict with a few people in a day was something that happened very often to me. In the end, it was also after I apologized that the matter ended. I first apologized to the factory manager. I felt relieved. I turned around and apologized to that female colleague of mine too. I didn't go for lunch that day. Also, I was supposed to be helping the workers in the factory, but in actuality, the majority of the work was completed by myself. Finally, I got the samples done before one in the afternoon. When I carried them back, I saw that the factory manager and colleague were chatting, joking, and having tea. In fact,
"I would then argue with them like I've gone crazy."Kingston wrapped an arm around Eevonne and asked while feeling incredibly sorry, "Things have already developed to such a state, but your boss still did not fire you?"Eevonne smiled miserably again. "I also find it strange for a very long time. Why is it that I was already in such a state, but my boss still did not fire me? I often heard my boss say that he is giving me a chance, he is giving a chance, and if I was in another company, I would have lost my chance a long time ago. Every time I heard him saying that, I truly felt so grateful that I almost wanted to kneel before him. I was also afraid that no other companies would hire me if I go somewhere else. Therefore, even though my interpersonal relationships in the company were a hot mess to the point of being beyond salvageable, it is also because I don't have anybody on my side in the company that I had to be extremely careful in my work. I worked at the company for three yea
Kingston looked at her. "That colleague named Holly was unwilling to apologize to you, right?"Eevonne bit her lips. "It wouldn't matter to me if it was just as simple as not apologizing to me. Not only did she not apologize to me, but she even said to me in front of the entire office, 'Everyone in the company knows that you love to argue with others. You've fought with everyone in the company. You're the one with the problem, so why should I apologize to you?'""Damn it!" Kingston cursed. "Is there a difference between that and humiliating you in front of everyone?""It's fine to humiliate me in front of everyone. I was a shameless person anyway. The main thing after that, she told Mister Lourd in front of everyone in the company, 'Mister Lourd, don't bother with this matter. This has nothing to do with you. I'll hold Eevonne responsible for this. Eevonne, such a large batch of the client's orders has been ruined. The client would want full compensation. You'll pay for that. The to
"Believe me, Kingston. At that time, I was truly like a savage person who had not been enlightened by the thousands of years of human civilizations."Upon saying that, Eevonne's tears started to stream quietly down her cheeks.Kingston simply felt sorry for her when he heard her objectively judging her craziness and psychotic episode."You're a good girl. In this world, every girl who could reflect on herself, recognize her own mistake, and who doesn't subjectively praise herself but objectively judge herself, is a good girl. Eevonne, you are a brave girl," Kingston comforted her in a miserable but firm tone.Eevonne was choked with tears. "Kingston, do you know? I…I only need a friend. Just one. "I need a friend who could completely understand me. I need this friend to tell me that I'm not a bad person and I don't like to argue with others that much. I just need a friend to care for me, agree with me, and approve of me. Just one would do. "However, I don't have any."There ar
Kingston looked at Eevonne with an expression that he had already understood. "So when they heard you threatening Holly like that, they fired you?""No." Eevonne shrugged. "That's why I feel that they were very strange. Things were already in that state, but they unexpectedly did not fire me. The matter was in a stalemate for the whole afternoon, then my boss returned from his business trip. My boss' eyebrows were tightly knitted because the company was in such chaos. I also thought that he would fire me, but he didn't. He unexpectedly mediated the conflict between me and Holly. He asked me if I was insisting on having Holly apologize to me. I said yes! I have to make Holly apologize to me. However, Holly did not agree. Since our boss has returned, Holly felt that she had someone to back her up, so she cried like she had been terribly aggrieved. After our boss had mediated the situation for a long while, she still didn't want to apologize to me. Holly did not admit that she was wrong
That was the difference in everybody's character. Eevonne looked like a ferocious person who loved to quarrel with others. She seemed like she would never conform with the group, and she was even said to be a psycho. However, deep down, Eevonne was an incredibly soft and weak person who did not know what to do. That was what led her to be continuously passive and end up being looked down upon by others. On top of that, just like what she had said, she had indeed once been vain.However, Sabrina was different. Sabrina's circumstance back then was actually a hundred times harder than Eevonne's. However, she was incredibly determined deep down. She could clearly recognize that had not done anything wrong. As long as did not do anything wrong, she would never compromise, and would never submit to anyone. However, Sabrina never argued with anybody. Sabrina was able to endure everything. She was able to use her silent resistance to subdue anybody around her.Eevonne, however, did not hav
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
