Everyone looked over as soon as they heard the voice and they saw two security guards walking toward them while grabbing a woman, whose hair was covered in grass, whose clothes were in a mess, and who was covered in mud all over.Eevonne also came to the woman. "Mila…it's you?"The security said angrily, "This woman crawled out from the bushes by the man-made river at the edge of the lawn. I'm guessing she already knew in advance that we're having a grand wedding here today, so she had been squatting there a long time ago. She certainly must be a repeat offender. Missus Yates, please first check all of your valuables. We'll take this repeat offender to the police station now.""No, no, no, I'm not a repeat offender. I'm not a thief either," Mila explained while stammering incoherently. Her gaze was both humble and sincere.She tried her best to break free from the security guards' hands while looking at Eevonne. "Missus Yates, you…you know that I'm not a thief. You've met me before
"As long as she was happy, even if she did not inherit the Ford Group, so what? In these few years without a person to take over, we can look for a good manager. It would be the same as well. In this world, capable people are supposed to be able to hold their respective positions. Whether it's our own people or someone from the outside, anybody would do as long as the person could make the Ford Group flourish."Sebastian was rather unbothered with trifle matters."I got it, Master Sebastian. I will work harder in this aspect and slowly search for a candidate for you," Kingston said respectfully."Alright." Sebastian nodded. While both of them were speaking, the security guards at the other end had already left.Mila, who was released, rubbed her hands and was at her wit's end. She kept apologizing to Eevonne. Upon apologizing, she looked straight at Yvonne's parents, Vincent and Helena. "Hi…hello.""You're the one who is hell-bent on marrying my son-in-law, aren't you?" Vincent lo
Nobody knew how hard Mila cried. When Sabrina watched Mila running away, she hesitated for a second. She suddenly felt that Mila's back, perhaps not her back per se, but Sabrina just felt that Mila was a little like Yvonne for a moment. However, she was unable to put her finger on which part of her was like Yvonne."What's the matter?" Sebastian asked Sabrina.Sabrina sighed softly and shook her head. "Maybe I'm missing Yvonne too much. You know that I haven't had many friends since I was a child. My best friend in my life is Yvonne. She is my sweetheart and my little healer. She is a carefree person and she is packed with sweetness. When I met Yvonne, I have always felt that anything sweet was a luxury to me and it shouldn't belong to me. After I met Yvonne, she was so packed with a sweetness that she made me feel happy. She would have fast food with me, tease Ruth with me, and go through the toughest days together with me. I've never seen her unhappy. Her happiness, her bright smil
Kingston's worried expression on his face became even worse. "I wonder if Marcus has gone home."He picked up his phone and called Marcus again. On the other end of the call, Marcus was drowning himself in alcohol at a bar. That was a bar that only he and Yvonne knew. That was the place where he kissed Yvonne for the very first time. Step by step, he taught the girl how to accept a sudden kiss from a macho man like him. He also made Yvonne his woman in the room upstairs.He still remembered how his sweetheart, Yvonne, was so shy that her face flushed like a red tomato that day. She knew nothing and did not understand anything. At first, she was whimpering, but in the end, she was moaning. Later, she wrapped both her arms around him, buried her messy head in his neck, and declared her dominance. "Marcus, you're mine from now on! My personal item!"Marcus chuckled. "What a domineering person!"Yvonne pouted. "I am a domineering person!""Why weren't you domineering when you were whi
He did not know how he fell asleep and how long he had been sleeping. He only knew that it was already bright outside when he woke up, and the sunlight from outside was very warm. When he lifted his head to look at the ceiling, he realized that he was in a small house that was shabby beyond measure. He turned his head to look at other places and found that the small house was kept very clean and tidy. It was just small. However, it looked very cozy. There were fresh flowers on the nightstand and it smelled refreshing and pleasant.Marcus looked at the flowers and was spaced out for a few seconds. Suddenly, he sprung up as if he realized something. Only then did he find out that he was actually not wearing anything at all. He was wearing nothing at all! From the top to the bottom, other than having a head full of hair, he was completely naked elsewhere. Gosh! In that instant, Marcus felt like his brain was having a short circuit.At that moment, the door creaked open. Mila carried a b
"I have a wife! Even if my wife is dead, I have to accompany her to the afterlife and reunite with her! Do you not understand? How can you be such a slut? What a slut! Do you think that after I've slept with you, I'll take care of you, protect you, and treat you like my lover from now on? Go to hell!"Marcus lifted his leg and wanted to kick her again. After he kicked this damned woman to death, he would turn himself in. It would be best if he would be executed immediately! That way, he would be freed from his miseries! Right at the moment when he lifted his foot, he heard a voice outside the door."Mila, are you in there? Why did I hear noises coming from your house? Are you alright? What happened to you? Is it serious?" It was a woman's voice coming from outside.Mila struggled to reply. "No…Alia, I…I'm fine. The basin of water fell just now. It's nothing. You don't have to come in. I'm getting changed so it's not too convenient for you to come in.""Alright. Just let me know if
"It's nothing. I'm fine. I'm not in pain. I'm fine." Mila said, smiling.Marcus glared at Mila fiercely, and he bent over as he wanted to carry her up. However, just as he was about to touch her, he realized that he was not wearing anything. He immediately straightened his back and raised his hand angrily to pound on the door. "Jerk! Bastard! Marcus, you're a jerk, bastard, and a son of bitch!"His hand was bleeding from pounding at the door."Don't. Don't harm yourself like that, Marcus. Don't harm yourself. You have to love yourself," Mila kept pleading to him while hugging his legs.Seeing that he stopped pounding, she hurriedly said, "I…I go out and get your clothes for you. I'll go out."She wanted to stand up, but she could not. She pulled the doorknob with all her might and it took her a long while before she opened the door. After that, she turned around and looked at Marcus with a smile. "Just…get on the bed. Hurry up and get onto the bed and cover yourself with the cover
After she went through the door, she saw Marcus, who wrapped himself with the covers, and she could not help but smile happily. Marcus was simply speechless."You're still bleeding from the mouth!" he said with annoyance."It's fine. It's no big deal. It's just a small matter," Mila immediately said. There was a pause. "Believe me. I only took off your clothes yesterday, but I didn't do anything to you. You were so drunk, so there's really nothing we can do. I didn't defile you.""I know!" Marcus said coldly, "Otherwise, do you think you can still be alive?"Mila laughed. Marcus put on his clothes very quickly, and then he bent over to carry Mila in his arms.At that moment, it was Mila's turn to be shocked. "What…are you doing? Don't carry me in your arms. We'll be seen by others once we get out of the door. Put me down. I…I don't want to create trouble for you. There are plenty of people out there now who're getting out of their houses to get to work. Just until after nine in 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
