"I can buy you a meal. I can even let you…"Minerva stopped mid-sentence and did not continue anymore. She just looked at the man behind the counter with a pitiful gaze. The man was stunned. To be honest, the woman truly looked very good. When she was not crying, her eyes were so bright that they could express her mind. When she looked at a person, she could make that person's heart flutter. However, in just a blink of an eye, she started crying again. Her tears were as clear as crystals. Her eyes were hazy. The way she looked simply made others pity her. Which man would not take pity on such a woman?"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have begged you. I…I'm leaving." Minerva turned around and left."Wait." The man called out.With tears in her eyes, Minerva immediately looked at that man with a smile. "I'll treat you to lunch at noon, and then I can tell you everything in detail. Is that alright?"The man nodded. He did not want to nod. He felt that it was too absurd. Recently, he had done
Doctor Cruz was stunned at first, and then he asked while stammering, "What… What do you want to do?"Marcus sneered. "What do we want to do? You have to tell us what you have done during this period of time then!"The doctor was still very stubborn. "Are you guys kidnapping me? You'll never be about to leave if you kidnapped me at such a high-end hotel. You guys are breaking the law. Hurry up and let me go! Otherwise, I'll call the police!""Alright. I'll give you a phone. Call the police now!" Marcus handed a phone to the doctor.The doctor was stunned. "Are you…are you not scared that I'll call the police?"Marcus sneered again, and then he strangled the man's neck and said viciously, "You dared to falsify the result of a DNA test. How many years of imprisonment do you think you'll get if I call the police?"The man immediately got so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. "You…you guys…you guys have already found out? How did you find out? That woman…that woman…did not loo
Hugh almost became impotent while facing such a woman. He had to pinch his nose to do the deed every time. However, he could not get a divorce. Just like that, he put up with his wife and spent more than ten years with her.Gradually, he went from being a young man to a man that had a good temperament and status. However, who would have known that the woman living in his house was old and hideous? Who would have known that a useless person like him had ordinary needs? Not only did he have the usual needs, but his eyes would also even glow when he saw beautiful women. However, he was working as a laboratory technician. Therefore, he would hardly meet any beautiful women.Just three months ago, he suddenly met a beautiful woman at the entrance of the hospital who initiated a conversation with him. One thing led to another, and both of them ended up in bed together. When Hugh woke up the next day, his nudes were already taken by someone and the person even took pictures of them while th
When Marcus arrived at Yvonne's parents' house, he heard that it was filled with joy and laughter even before he entered.He raised his hand to knock on the door, and then he heard a voice shout in surprise, "Dad, Mom, could it be Marcus? I miss him so much. All of you don't get up. I'll go get the door. I'll go!"Immediately after that, he heard someone running over with a spring in her step. The door opened. Marcus was truly stunned by the woman who appeared in front of him."Yvonne…Yvonne, is that you? My Yvonne, you're finally back." At that moment, Marcus was not acting. He was really showing his true feelings. He missed Yvonne too much. He had been dreaming almost every day and he was always able to see that face. Even though Yvonne, the one who was standing in front of Marcus at that moment, has a slightly stiffened face, she was still that Yvonne whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. Marcus' eyes were reddened."Yvonne…my Yvonne, you're finally back." The man
"Why isn't Eevonne here? Was it because she was too busy with work? No matter how swamped she was, her cousin-in-law has returned home, so she should have put her work aside. Your Eevonne is such a workaholic. Kingston, you have to persuade your wife. It's such an important occasion where the entire family got together for dinner. It's not easy. We only get to do this once after so many years. How could Eevonne not come?" Marcus looked at Kingston with a criticizing gaze.Kingston immediately saved himself from the embarrassment by saying, "It's like that, Marcus. We're a family, but Eevonne joined the family rather late. She's not a Yates either, so I didn't let her come. Besides…"Kingston stopped his sentence mid-way and left the rest unspoken.Marcus immediately said in a mocking manner, "Wow, wow, wow. Eevonne is not a Yates. I'm not a Yates either. By that logic, I shouldn't be having dinner in this house either, should I? This is your fault as her husband. You have to know th
Yvonne was immediately stunned when she saw the little boy and the little girl.However, she was only stunned for a second and she smiled immediately. "Who…who are you guys? Where did you come from?""My name is Dulcie.""My name is Felix."Both the children were looking up at Yvonne.Yvonne looked at Marcus in a daze and she started to tear up. "Marcus, have you got yourself another woman in the past few years when I wasn't home? If you have, let me know and I won't keep pestering you. I know that after so many years, even if it was someone else, it is impossible for that person to keep waiting for me. Marcus, I'll be leaving."Upon saying that, she turned around, but she did not take another step to start walking."Yvonne, what are you thinking? I only have you in my heart. I've never gotten myself another wife!" Marcus immediately hugged her.Yvonne's tears immediately streamed down her face. "Then, these two children…""I adopted them. They are the children of an actress n
Yvonne was stunned at first, but she immediately rushed toward Missus Shaw after that and threw herself into her arms. Then, she cried even harder. "Missus Shaw, when I see these two children, I would be reminded of my two children. They died as soon as they were born. I was still lying on the birthing bed at that time and I didn't even get to meet my children at all. They were a pair of twins. I've lost your grandson and granddaughter, Missus Shaw. I don't deserve to come back…"Missus Shaw was dumbfounded when she heard it. Immediately after that, she was covered in tears. The older a person got, the more they would want to have little ones by their side. When she heard that her grandson and granddaughter died as soon as they were born, the elderly lady kept crying. After that, she embraced Dulcie and Felix in her arms."As long as you're back. As long as you've returned, Yvonne. You're still young. You and Marcus can still have more children in the future. Don't cry anymore. Hurry
At that moment, nobody from the Shaw family knew that someone outside the walls of the Shaw Residence was already eyeing Yvonne. Yvonne, herself, included, never realized it either.At that moment, Yvonne was completely immersed in happiness.To be able to enter the Shaw Residence, blend into the Shaw family, and be accepted by the Shaw family was Yvonne's ultimate goal.She had gone to great lengths for the sake of this goal.From the beginning to the end and from all angles, she had planned it multiple times, and it was very thorough and meticulous every time. Finally, she succeeded and could truly enter and be part of the Shaw family.How great.The Shaw family was one of the top eminent families in the entire South City and even the entire country. Not to mention that Marcus has a great character. He had an outstanding appearance, and he was gentle and elegant. He also was very capable. The company that he built already has a valuation of one billion dollars.Also, the ant
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
