He only kept kissing her tears.She released all the accumulated grievances throughout the years on this night. She was stubborn, unyielding, and did not want to be submissive to anyone! What was wrong with that?In the end, he melted her little by little. She fell asleep in his arms. He looked at her face, and the man kissed her deeply on her forehead. He then switched off the lights and slept.The next day. She woke up at the same time as he did. She was not wearing anything. The nightgown that she initially wore was tossed on the floor by him, and it was dirtied. She sat up and looked at herself. From top to bottom, she was only wearing the chrismatite bracelet on her wrists. The bracelets were indeed a good match against her soft and clear skin.She pouted her lips and said in a sulking manner to the man who was in a reclining posture on the bed, “These are my bracelets! I could do whatever I wanted with it!”The man’s voice was thick from having just woken up. “You c
When the elevator arrived at Sabrina’s floor, she straightened her clothes and carried her briefcase out of the elevator. She got out of the elevator, and the few colleagues who were going to higher floors immediately started to gossip.“Hey, this, this was also a character. She was new to our company, but I heard she had created a lot of trouble.”“This woman was such a b*tch. When she came to work last week and the week before that, she was like an honest and rule-abiding country girl. However, she deceived everyone. She had something with Master Ryan and she even excluded Miss Ruth.”“I heard that she is now the boss of Linda from their design department.”“She climbed fast enough.”“She did climb fast. She climbed up with the honest and harmless persona. However, within only a few days, she had managed to court Master Ryan and even obtained a good position in the company.”“I feel this woman was quite similar to the woman who was at feud with Master Sebastian six years ago bu
Linda was speechless.After a few seconds, she said with exasperation, “Don’t push me too much, okay? Were you forcing me to quit my job? I was already willing to proofread your sketches for you. What more did you want?”Sabrina handed Linda a few materials she had just organized. “Although I am now your head designer, what was yours would be yours. You had your independent design space and ideas. If I am free, I could also help you proofread. There would not be much difference to our work compared to before. This would be yours. After you have completed it, and if you trust me, you could leave it to me to proofread.”Linda said, “… Are you telling the truth?”“Get to work. I don’t like to keep people idle” Sabrina did not take another look at Linda and lowered her head to work.Linda reluctantly whispered, “Thanks…”Sabrina did not look up.Sabrina could tell that she was reluctant to thank her, so she also did not accept it.She only wanted everybody to be fine with each othe
Nigel had a look that showed he was very worried about Sabrina.However, Sabrina’s expression was cold and calm instead, “Nigel, about Ruth, I’m sorry.”“No, Sabrina. I am not here for the matter regarding Ruth,” Nigel was eager to explain, and he reached out to hold Sabrina’s arm.Sabrina jerked backwards. Many people were watching in the company. Two female employees passed by and started to whisper and mutter to each other.“Wasn’t that the young master of the Conor family? Nigel Conor, the grandson of the most powerful family, Ford family.”“Miss Ruth’s cousin-in-law, right?”“Gosh, did he have an affair with Sabrina? It is no wonder why Ruth kept calling her a homewrecker. I thought Ruth was being unreasonable and wrongly blamed Sabrina. It turned out…”The two women were discussing with very soft voices, but Sabrina and Nigel could hear everything. Sabrina said, “Could you excuse me for a moment?”Nigel still would not give way. Sabrina really wanted to move a st
“Sabrina, could we talk? If you didn’t want to be in the company and were afraid of being seen, then let’s go out. We could find a café to have a sit. Could we?” Nigel asked eagerly. Sabrina nodded. When she and Nigel got out of the main entrance together, Sabrina subconsciously glanced in the direction where Sebastian’s car was usually parked. Coincidentally, she did not notice Sebastian’s car, and she thought Sebastian was not here yet. Hence, she went to the café across the street with Nigel.“Ten minutes. I only had ten minutes.” Sabrina did not want to make Sebastian wait for her. She also did not want Sebastian to know that she was with Nigel. It would not matter to her if he had found out, but she did not wish to cause any trouble for Nigel either. “Alright, just ten minutes,” said Nigel.The two of them ordered two glasses of water and sat down, then they both spoke simultaneously. “Sabrina, just leave Sebastian.”“Do you have news about my brother?”Nigel was s
Sabrina and Nigel both looked up simultaneously and saw Sebastian with a stern expression. “Sebas…tian,” Nigel was afraid of Sebastian. Six years ago, he was afraid of him when he was a rich playboy. He was still afraid of Sebastian even at this moment. It was the kind of fear that had been ingrained in the bones. Sebastian did not look at Nigel. He only looked at Sabrina. Sabrina was calm and expressionless. Was it not two people hanging out at a café?What was wrong with that? If he had wanted to blame her, even if she did not leave the house, he would have an excuse to do it.There was a saying that if a person wanted to charge another, they would always be able to find a way for it!The man’s gaze warmed up and asked caringly, “Did your stomach not hurt anymore?”Sabrina was stunned.“Yesterday, at the old residence, what did you say about yourself?” asked Sebastian. Sabrina’s face instantly flushed red.She had already forgotten about the lie yesterday. How c
Kingston said, “Madam, I…”After pausing for a while, he said straightforwardly, “Madam, Master Sebastian was quite serious about you. He said those words yesterday, but he was only going along with your words and teasing you. He had been so used to being indifferent that even when he teased someone, he still had that deadly cold tone.”“Master Sebastian went to the old residence yesterday, not for the sake of the little princess, but he simply wanted to introduce you.”Sabrina did not say anything.She did not want to distinguish the true or false elements in Kingston’s words. She had a good impression of him, but she also clearly knew that Kingston was Sebastian’s right hand man.She only smiled at Kingston politely and said, “I know.”There were no other words. Sabrina was a person who could maintain her composure very well. When she did not want to speak, even if Kingston were to pry with pliers, he would not be able to pry her mouth open. Kingston sensibly shut his mout
Nigel looked at Sebastian in a daze. “Sebastian, I’m begging you. You didn’t like her anyway, you…”His words were interrupted by Sebastian. “Nigel, my patience had a limit. To me, kinship was only applicable to your aunt. However, apart from your aunt, your uncle even had no place in my heart, let alone you.” “You’d better remember this. Don’t use the family relations between us to deplete my patience with you!”“To compete for a woman with me?”“You still have to see if you have the means to compete with me!”“However, as your cousin, I would inform you of this. Since you did not cherish her once and had lost her once, then you could only find a way to keep her by your side. You didn’t even have the way to keep her around, but I had.” “That could only mean that I was more capable and had more means than you.”“Think carefully before you do anything in the future!”“This would be the last chance I’m giving you!”Nigel was speechless. He watched with his eyes widened as Se
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
