The four elderly people were all covered in tears after they heard her story. Early in the morning the following day, Kingston went to the company early in the morning. He met with the other managing directors and had a morning meeting to confirm their plans for the next month. After that, Kingston took the morning flight to the north. He did not meet Eevonne again. He knew that as long as he put Eevonne in South City and put her in the hands of Sabrina, she could certainly take care of Eevonne very well. Besides, Eevonne could take care of herself as well.Kingston only gave a call to Eevonne before he boarded the plane. "Eevonne, I'm already boarding the plane to leave South City. Take care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you to pay back the money to me."Eevonne was slightly surprised on the other end of the call. "Kingston, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"Kingston sighed. "I can't be at ease until I find my cousin, so I can't delay it.""I understand, Kingston. Don't wo
Eevonne was stunned while she looked at Sabrina, "Missus Ford, d-do you have a story to tell?"She was very confused.She was the pampered wife of the richest man in the country. Was she going to tell her, a broke worker, the story about the wife of a wealthy man?Eevonne was tempted to ask Sabrina if she was going to tell her how she went from being a poor and mistreated young lady to becoming the wife of the top family of South City.To be honest, Eevonne did not really want to hear that story.She would never fantasize about becoming the wife of a rich man anymore in this life.Even if he was an ordinary man in the city working a white-collar job, Eevonne also would not fantasize about marrying him, let alone being the wife of a rich man.That was because she felt that she was not worthy enough.Also, she did not want to forcibly ask for anything anymore. She did not want to be vain for the sake of vanity anymore.She simply wanted to live an honest life without too much ps
'Gosh! Do rich people spend money to suffer like that?'Eevonne shut her lips as tightly as she could."Is it very bitter?" Ruth asked, smiling.Eevonne nodded. "I'm sorry, Missus Ford and Miss Mann. I…It's not that I haven't had coffee before. It's just that the coffee that I had before was those with milk and plenty of sugar added. This is my first time having such pure and bitter coffee without anything added at all…"Ruth smiled again. "Pay attention to the back of your tongue now then. Is it still…bitter?"When Eevonne was talking, she already sensed it. Why did she feel that a little bit of aroma was slowly emerging from the back of her tongue? There…was even a little bit of sweetness. It was not the kind that was too strong. Instead, it was very subtle and it made you reflect on the taste. However, when you truly were to pay attention to the aftertaste, you would not be able to catch it. It would make a person…space out. It would also slowly make a person happy. It was r
Sabrina nodded. "It's me.""Missus Ford…" Eevonne said.Sabrina smiled and said calmly, "Eevonne, in comparison to your experience, the kind of situation I was in back then…I simply did not have a way to continue living. I had people chasing after me to attack me no matter where I went. When I walked down the street with my duffel bag, others would think that I was a homeless person scavenging for things. I once spent six years living my life on the run. My father, my stepmother, and my stepsister, the three of them kept hiring people to hunt me down. They hunted me down so much that…I could only work on a construction site to move bricks to support my family. I was even carrying my child in my belly then. At that time, when it hadn't even been a month since I gave birth to my child, I was standing in the mud again and building walls with mud together with those young laborers."Hearing Sabrina saying all that, Eevonne was covered in tears and was choking with sobs. "Missus Ford…you
"At the critical moment, when you had to fight for security for your children, you were so brave and you actually barged into someone else's wedding. Sabrina, you made me understand one thing—no matter how terrible the circumstance a woman is in, she can never lose the proud queen in her! Also, no matter the time and place, I can never have any wild dreams. I should never hope that Prince Charming will come to rescue, for example."Sabrina nodded emotionally. "Yes, when I…was very poor, when I was at the lowest point in my life, I had not filled my stomach or had any hot water to drink for a few days, but I have never fantasized that a Prince Charming would come to my rescue. Everything that I have is what I've fought hard for bit by bit with my own hands. Eevonne, good girl, when a person is facing adversity, no matter how adverse it is and no matter unbearable the situation is, it's fine. As long as you don't do anything that goes against your conscience and follow your heart, you w
Her request stunned Sabrina and Ruth. Both of them looked at each other.Eevonne, however, said in a hurry, "I know you must be surprised. However, I have witnessed with my own eyes how lost and confused Kingston was when searching for his cousin. I was thinking that there must be a reason for Kingston to leave all the business affairs behind and not stay in the company but spend most of his time searching for his cousin. That reason must be that Yvonne's parents miss their daughter very much."Sabrina sighed. "That's true.""I'll just do whatever I can within my abilities. That way, Kingston's efforts would not be in vain after he went to such lengths to help me," Eevonne said sincerely.Sabrina nodded. "Alright. After you've settled down, I'll take you to Yvonne's house. Ruth and I will go over every now and then anyway. We'll bring you along when we are heading there.""Mm-hmm!" Eevonne nodded heavily. From that day on, Eevonne's new life has begun. She kept acting according to
"Don't be afraid. The company is still recruiting. They are still looking for three more people. Don't worry. Just don't worry."Eevonne lifted her head and smiled. "It's fine. I'll first try to arrange them and see."The doorman shook his head and left. While leaving, he kept shaking his head and said while sighing, "I think this girl would not last that long. Which young girl would be willing to endure this hardship? I'd better hurry up and tell the human resource department to find a few more older women for the job, so the work of those departments wouldn't be delayed."He left while saying that.Eevonne, however, started to work hard and seriously.There were truly plenty of parcels.The number of parcels was even more than a slightly bigger express company.Logically speaking, it was truly difficult to distinguish all these parcels that were piled up. However, Eevonne had already discovered a clue.She was born a girl that was very good at thinking.She noticed that ther
The doorman felt that it was a pity. "I was thinking how can such a young girl do this kind of work. Look at you. You're covered in sweat from the heat and your face is covered in dust. Hurry up and take a rest. Nobody works so hard as you. There are plenty of people who did not graduate from middle school and are doing nothing. On the contrary, it's rare to see a person who is so down-to-earth like you. You're truly very good."Eevonne instantly felt touched. An unprecedented sense of honor unexpectedly emerged in her. She suddenly realized that being able to truly hold her head up high could not be obtained by covering up her flaws. Instead, it was won by using her own efforts and actual action like she had done at that moment. Even if a person did not graduate from middle school, as long as the person did well, that person would still be admired by others!She smiled and said humbly, "Sir, no, I mean mister, well…you've been working here for a very long time. Can you help me reque
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
