"Love ourselves? Mister Ford, do you mean that I should have self-love?" asked Eevonne."Something like that. There are types of self-love for a person. The easiest one to understand is the literal meaning, which was to love yourself. Always think for yourself first for everything without harming others. To let yourself be comfortable and let yourself be in the strongest and safest position. That would mean that you're loving yourself."Eevonne's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mister Ford, I…I seem to have understood…please continue."She gradually felt that Sebastian was not scary anymore. She realized that he was truly a wise person. He was able to give her directions immediately. Under Sebastian's guidance, Eevonne understood that it was not important to regain one's pride. Sometimes, you would be caught in a tangle if you value your pride too much. Valuing one's pride too much was also a sign of inferiority. Also, it would become a drawback for others to attack you. To be truly confiden
"Eevonne, how shameless can you be?" Dash's angry and disdainful voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. Eevonne was speechless. If it was before she met Sebastian, she might feel nervous, feel that she has wronged him, feel guilty, and her speech would be incoherent. She would be defeated miserably. However, at that moment, Eevonne was already enlightened. The first thing she had to do was to let herself remain calm. She has to love herself.The Great Warrior from ancient times would rather do wrong by everybody in the world than letting everybody in the world do wrong by him. That was the ultimate way to love oneself. Eevonne would not be that selfish. Eevonne would not do anybody wrong, but from that moment on, of course, she also would not let anybody do her wrong. "Mister Long, does whether I'm shameless or not have anything to do with you collaborating with our company?" Eevonne's tone was calm and there was not the slightest bit of anger or annoyance in it
At that time, Dash wanted to strangle Eevonne to death. However, he did not. He was a very well-mannered young man. He simply resigned from the company. He was feeling incredibly depressed. To make himself feel better and also because he did not want to stay in the place that made him feel sad, after Dash resigned, he traveled up north to Kidon City and studied there for a year.A year later, he had already forgotten all of the things that made him sad. He was also feeling better, so he carried his luggage and returned to his parents' house. What he never expected was that even before he entered the neighborhood, he was harassed by Eevonne. At that time, Eevonne's clothes were shabby and torn, and she smelled pungent.When Dash met Eevonne again, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul."You…why are you still lingering here? We're already broken up! Also, there's nothing between us at all! We've never even cohabitated once! You've not suffered any loss! Please stop pesteri
Eevonne was not shocked by Dash's harsh words at all. She was very calm. The words that Sebastian had told her were etched in her memory. 'If others are vicious, you have to be even more vicious than him. Only then can you win by catching them off guard.'Besides, she has never harmed anyone when it came to work-related matters. Until that moment, she was still very sincere. As long as Dash was willing to collaborate with the Ford Group, if they could achieve a win-win situation for both companies, she certainly would do her best to help and make it happen. Was that not sincere?Since she has done nothing wrong, why should she be afraid of Dash?"Mister Long, you…don't have to show mercy. We're just working together. Both of us have to keep each other in check to be as transparent as possible for matters like quality, quotation, production volume, production duration, as well as how fast payments are made. To us, we, of course, demand that your quality, quotation, and production, as
"Mister Long, if there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now."Upon saying that, Eevonne took the initiative to hang up the call without even giving Dash the chance to refute. Unexpectedly, as long as she hung up the call, her phone rang again. She initially did not want to answer it, but she saw that it was Sabrina who was calling. Eevonne immediately answered the call, "Hello, Sabrina. What can I do for you?"At the other end of the call, Sabrina was apologetic. "Eevonne, we were in a hurry when we were talking to you just now, and we didn't even invite you to stay for dinner. Sebastian and I feel very sorry. Eevonne, come over to have a meal with us on Sunday, alright?"After Eevonne heard that, she felt incomparably touched. "Sabrina, thank you. It's not that I don't want to go to your house to have a meal with you guys. It's just that every Saturday and Sunday, I have to spend one day going to Yvonne's parents' house and helping them do as many chores as I could. Then, I have
Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm!"Sabrina was slightly hesitant. "Sebastian, would it be…too cruel to Eevonne? You've seen it as well. Just meeting Dash alone was enough to immediately mess up the confidence she had built over two years. If we let her…would we be helping her or destroying her?Sebastian sighed. "Sabrina, both you and I know that there aren't many good encounters in this world. There are not so many incidents of a wealthy man helping to clear my debt today, a Prince Charming wanting to marry me tomorrow, and an emergency medical helicopter flying me directly to the best hospital in the world and curing my eye disease the day after tomorrow. All of those are just fairy tales. Everybody living in this world has to face the cruelness of society. Everything that I once had was what I have fought for with my own hands. There's not much luck involved. It's like that for me. It's the same for you. The reason you're still able to survive after experiencing so many miseries and hard
"What happened?" Sabrina asked with interest."As soon as I got on the bus just now, I received a call from Dash. It was the same old thing where he brought up what happened between us back then. I told him very calmly that the past is the past, and we only have one type of relationship between us now, which was a business relationship. It's not appropriate to talk to me about personal matters now, isn't it?"Sabrina smiled. "That's how it should be done!""There's more," Eevonne said while feeling over the moon. "I realized that Dash wanted to collaborate with us, but he also wanted to put on airs. He simply wanted to obtain our company's orders but he also wanted to force me to resign. Just now, he directly said to me again that if I don't resign, he won't collaborate with your company. I told him sure. Since that was the case, we'll start a new round of bidding tomorrow. I then hung up as soon as I said that. I simply wanted to be aggressive with him. Maybe our company can even s
Sabrina and Ruth looked at Eevonne with confusion. "What's the matter, Eevonne? Who did you say…she looks like?"Eevonne pointed at the image in the movie. "This…this woman. I've met this woman before. She was the woman wandering around the entrance of Yvonne's house. Are you sure she is an actress and a member of a scamming group?"Sabrina was speechless. She did watch movies, but she had never paid attention to the actors and so on.Aire was once so famous and was one of the top stars in the country. However, Sabrina did not know Aire even when she came face to face with her, which caused Aire to hate her because of that. Let alone an actress who barely has any fame and played the villainess.Sabrina shook her head, and then she looked at Ruth. "Ruth, do you know this actress?"Ruth was a groupie. She was born without ideals and ambitions. All she sought after in her everyday life was to take care of her children and bicker with Ryan. At that moment, her children were older and
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
