Eevonne nodded seriously. "Yes, you have to pay the bill."She raised her head and scanned around the room. After she counted the number of people in there, she said again, "The people sitting here are high-ranking executives. Their annual salaries are more than ten million dollars a year. That means their daily salary is about twenty-eight thousand dollars a day. You've held them back for a whole morning, so that's fourteen thousand dollars each, which is one hundred and forty thousand dollars for ten people. There are two managing directors of companies present as well. You should know that the profit that a managing director of the Ford Group makes a year should be more than two hundred thousand dollars. If we were to calculate it by the day, it would be sixty thousand dollars a day, which means thirty thousand dollars for a morning. Both the managing directors' salaries combined are already sixty thousand dollars in total for the morning. Not only that, but the profit that our com
"You might not know this, but I have to tell you something now! Ever since Eevonne first joined the company, she had been emphasizing repeatedly that she had made some mistakes in the past and she should not have lied about her academic qualifications back then. She had always been very self-aware, very guilty, and changing her flaws. She has always been very diligent in the Ford Group. She had taken one step at a time, and everything that she had done was witnessed by everyone in the company. We don't have the right to ask about her past. She didn't break the law, so even the law has no right to ask about her, let alone us. Our company only cares about her present and future. Right now, she did not lie to our company at all. She is very honest. Her character is something that is as clear as day to us, her colleagues, as well as her direct superiors in the Ford Group! No matter what, even if her character is bad, you, a person with an even worse character, have no place to come and cri
Eevonne touched her cheek while looking at Phoebe calmly. "You…how dare you slap me?"She knew that Phoebe was Mister Cain's daughter, so she had to be rational. Only if she behaved rationally that she could resolve the problem."I just wanted to slap you. What can you do about it? If I don't slap you, you don't learn the lesson. Eevonne, do you think you can fool everyone who's present with your sweet words and masterful deceiving skills? No matter how capable you are at fooling others, you won't be able to cover up all the embarrassing things you had done back then! You truly are a shameless person! It's fine if you don't mind looking ugly, but you actually brought it up and showed it off like this at the company! Eevonne York! Didn't you learn from your upbringing that it's very immoral and it's going against the company policy severely to be taking up the company's resources and talking about all the shitty things you've done in an aggrieved tone? Do you think that everything you
"You're a person with such nasty character, so why should the Ford Group keep you around? Somebody from the human resource department! Have her fired! Immediately! Now! Fire her! After she's fired, send her to the police station. Just say that she has openly extorted money from our company's client in front of everyone in the company!"The human resource manager looked at Mister Cain and also Phoebe with an incredibly difficult expression. "Well…"He truly was in a very difficult position. This clearly has nothing to do with Eevonne!Since the first day Eevonne set foot in the company, she had already told them very clearly that she was an uncultured person who did not even graduate from middle school. Also, the job that she was doing was the lowest-paying job in the entire company. However, such a low-paying job was done in an organized manner by Eevonne, a girl who did not even graduate from middle school. The company was only paying her the salary of one person. Previously, the w
"What?" The human resource manager was stunned, and he looked at Mister Cain in disbelief. Everyone else also stared at Mister Cain in disbelief. Eevonne looked at that old man and found it even harder to believe it. After a moment, she suddenly smiled. They were a pair of father and daughter, after all. He was also the director, so it would not make sense for him to not side with his daughter.A sense of misery flashed across Eevonne's eyes. She had worked so hard, wanted to be herself so badly, wanted to live like a decent person, and she had already done it. However, the world was still unfair to her in the end. Just because Phoebe had a father who was a director of the company? Therefore, all of Eevonne's efforts were in vain? Eevonne was not willing to accept it. Even if she were to die, she had to find out the reason."Why?" Eevonne looked at Phoebe and then at Dash. To be more precise, she only glanced at Phoebe, and then she looked at Dash.Dash was the first to bring up all
"I know! You are a person who's especially good at acting shamelessly. Don't worry, I won't let you get away with it this time! Every time I reminded you, no matter if I had called you or reminded you face-to-face, I have actually recorded the audio. Every time I reminded and persuaded you kindly to resign on your own! I kept an audio recording of it!"When she heard that, Eevonne smiled. "Audio recording. Can you take the audio recording out and play it?""If you don't mind embarrassing yourself, then why shouldn't I take it out?" Dash smiled incredibly disdainfully again. He looked at Eevonne with a contemptuous expression. His gaze seemed to be saying that he had once helped her save face, he had already shown her mercy, he had already done everything that he could, but she was the one who did not take his reminders and warnings seriously. Therefore, she has to bear the consequences on her own at that moment! He took his time to take out a voice recorder from his briefcase, and th
Everybody was stunned when they heard that voice. That voice was deep and husky. That voice rarely appeared in the company. It would only appear a few dozen days in a year. Unless it was at the moment when the company had a big meeting or a big decision to make. That was because the owner of the voice had always been out there searching for his cousin.While everyone was stunned, the owner of the voice entered the reception room. The director of the human resource department was the first to call out, "Mister Yates!" Immediately after, the director of the fashion department said, "Mister Yates, how come you're back?"Then, it was Dash. "Mister Yates…"Dash had successfully won the bid for the Ford Group's contract all because of Kingston. It was when Kingston went to the city that Dash was in to search for Yvonne's whereabouts that he accidentally found a big fashion company with great ability and great discipline. Also, the director of the company was very young. He was younger t
While having one arm wrapped around Eevonne, Kingston flipped through the documents in Eevonne's hand. Even Mister Cain, who was at the side, called out to him incredibly awkwardly, "Kingston…"Kingston pretended like he did not hear him and just continued looking at the documents while having Eevonne in one arm."Dad…" At that moment, Phoebe was so scared that her voice was trembling.What…what the hell was going on? Kingston…why would Kingston be wrapping one arm around Eevonne? What was Kingston's relationship with Eevonne?Phoebe was so frightened that her face turned pale. Mister Cain's expression was not any better. When he called him Kingston, he was actually calling out to let everyone hear. He was subtly letting everyone know that his relationship with Kingston was not bad. He was addressing him by his name. Also, he was psyching himself up. He told himself that he was on an equal footing with Kingston.However, Mister Cain was incredibly clear that the four managing dire
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
