Kingston, Marcus and Sabrina were all shocked.Marcus tried to protect Sabrina behind him, while looking at Sebastian in horror. “Sebastian… Come at me if you have any problems, just don’t lay a finger on Sabrina. After all, she’s given birth to a daughter for you.“If… you want to kill someone, let it be me.”Sebastian did not respond. Instead, he simply took off his tie and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. In a moment, that muscular body of his was exposed to Marcus.He then said in an unemotional voice, “What were you thinking? The car was a bit stuffy which made me feel hot, so I undid my buttons to cool down for a bit.”Marcus felt relieved. “Oh… Sebastian, you… your neck, how did it get injured?”“Oh, I was injured by a wild cat.” Sebastian replied casually.Both Kingston and Sabrina were still frozen in place.Sabrina’s face had turned so red that she looked away from everyone there, and focused on rubbing Aino’s hair.Kingston’s tongue was tied as he thought to himself
The way Marcus looked at her?How was that possible?She was just a woman that Sebastian had captured, and her reputation was still incredibly notorious from six years ago. In contrast, Marcus’ background was not too far behind Sebastian’s, so how could he possibly fall for someone like her?He had probably just felt remorseful, and pitied Sabrina.After half a moment, Sabrina asked Sebastian in a mocking tone, “Are you jealous of Marcus?”“Yes!” Sebastian replied in a straightforward manner.Sabrina did not know how to respond, as she had not expected to hear such an answer from him.How could he possibly be jealous of Marcus?As Sebastian continued to speak again, his tone made it sound like he was complaining. “This daughter of yours! She defeated two women in the Ford Residence this morning, and even imperiously declared that she did it to protect your rights!”After seeing what had happened earlier, Sebastian realized that Aino would not let him interact with any other wo
When Selene spoke, her voice sounded very unclear, almost as if she had a gigantic tongue lodged in her mouth. It was probably because of how she had been slapped by Old Master Shaw a few times after getting in a fight with Frost earlier.Sebastian could not help but find it funny that this woman, after being beaten up so badly, was still able to apologize to him.As he listened to what Selene had to say, Sebastian noticed Aino pulling on Sabrina’s hand with a cunning smile before leaving the room together with her.When he looked out of the door, he saw that the two of them had gone to the dining room.He then said to Selene impatiently, “Speak up if you have anything to say!”“Young Master, my grandfather didn’t just hit me in front of the Ford family. When we returned, he continued to lecture me as well. He even made me kneel down on the floor to repent. Young Master, I’m aware of my mistakes now.“I won’t ever fight with anyone in public anymore. As the daughter of a noble fa
Kingston suddenly remembered that he had taken some photographs earlier.He immediately told Sebastian, “Please hold on, Young Master, I will send them to you.”“Come here yourself!” Sebastian ordered.“What did you say?” Kingston asked, sounding confused.“Come here yourself!”When he heard this, Kingston was taken aback for a moment.He paused briefly before responding, “Do you want me to come to your place and show the pictures on the phone to the little princess in person?”Kingston had meant to ask if the pictures were for the princess’s mother, but was afraid that the young master would rebuke him for it. As such, he decided that it would be best to keep it to himself.Meanwhile, Sebastian, without explaining anything else, immediately hung up the phone. After their brief call, Kingston sped back to Sebastian’s place, reaching in just ten minutes. He then headed up after parking the car and pressed on the doorbell.The one who greeted him at the door was the maid, Aunt L
As Sebastian heard the child’s laughter coming from the dining room, accompanied by Sabrina’s warm voice that was filled with motherly love, as well as Kingston’s carefree laughter, he felt as if the large house he had stayed in for several years had suddenly acquired a burning fireplace.He had been accustomed to living alone, without even maids in his house.In fact, he had gone to great lengths just to hire the few professional maids that were here now for Sabrina and Aino.Yet even Sebastian, who had lived by himself for twenty years, appreciated this warm feeling of a proper home.He walked over from the study to the dining room without making a sound, and found the three of them gathered around Kingston’s phone, laughing at Selene’s ugly photos.The first to notice Sebastian was Kingston, who stopped smiling immediately. “Young… Young Master.”“Leave!” Sebastian’s tone was incredibly harsh.Kingston was taken aback.He had only been here for three minutes!Three minutes!
With these thoughts in her head, Sabrina did not reply to Kingston.Though Kingston’s message had made her feel very conflicted, Sabrina still decided that she would only take one step at a time and so wrapped her heart around tightly.For now, her main goal was to perform well at her new job.After putting down her phone, Sabrina bathed Aino before changing into home clothes. The two of them then returned to the living room. During that time, Sebastian also came into the living room after having changed.As the whole family was now gathered in the living room, it felt a little awkward.Sabrina was the first to speak.She cleared her throat and asked Sebastian, “That… Aino offended Selene, I…”“You don’t have to worry about that, I will deal with what my own daughter caused!” Sebastian said.“Oh…” Sabrina did not know how to reply him.Fortunately for her, Aunt Lewis had just finished preparing dinner.As the three of them ate together, the atmosphere around the dining table
It was obvious that the two women who were gossiping about Sabrina did not know who she actually was, as they didn’t realize that the subject of their conversation was actually standing right in front of them.Without a care in the world, the two of them continued talking away unscrupulously and with great relish.“Hey, did you know, I heard from the Ford Residence that the bastard daughter was accepted into the family.”“Is that so? Why would they accept the child of a woman who was captured? Don’t the older members of the Ford family despise her? I even heard that she has been to prison before.”“Logically speaking, the older generation of the Ford family would never recognize a child like that, but for some reason, the old master really seems to have taken a liking to the bastard daughter. Furthermore, just like how Young Master Sebastian is the only one left in his generation in the Ford family, his daughter is the same for now. So it's only natural that they care about her.”
After sorting out everything in the human resources department, the manager sent Sabrina to the architectural design department. When she arrived there, she saw the two gossiping women again.The two women smiled at her.Sabrina subtly nodded back at them.Then, the director of the department assigned a desk to Sabrina. Just as she was about to sit down, another woman suddenly came running into the office. She asked loudly, “Sabrina, who’s Sabrina?”Upon hearing her name, Sabrina stood up immediately and looked at the woman who was calling her. “Hello, that’s me. Do you have something for me?”She did not recognise the woman at all. It seems like she wasn’t from the human resources department, as Sabrina had just been there. So how did this woman know her, and why was she looking for her?Sabrina started to get suspicious.She had always been a reserved person, and would rarely strike up conversations with others. Sabrina would always feel uncomfortable and apprehensive whenever
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
