This hotel was particularly extravagant.As soon as Sabrina arrived at the door, she could see that this hotel is definitely not somewhere that ordinary wage earners could frequent, and today's small party was not just as simple as paying fifty thousand dollars. There might be other costs of expenditure.Fortunately, she had the five million dollar compensation fund that Sebastian gave her. In case she needed to fork out extra money, she could still afford to.Sabrina was emboldened and led Aino to the large private room that had been arranged in advance.It was noisy in the large private room."Susan’s mom, your bag is a limited edition, right? It looks so expensive," Carol’s mom complimented Susan's mom loudly."No, my husband bought me this bag from Hong Kong. It's very cheap, it's only slightly more than nine thousand dollars. By the way, your bag is nice too, what brand is it? It looks good. It must be quite expensive, right." Susan's mom was enjoying the superiority of bein
"Hi, Aino's mom, you are finally here. I thought you would be afraid to come." Carol’s mom rubbed the rock on her finger while looking at Sabrina with a mocking expression.Sabrina didn't realize Carol’s mom and the rest of the rich ladies’ imminent jealousy toward her.She didn't answer the question, but only asked Aino in a gentle voice, "Aino, would you like to play with these children?"Aino nodded happily. "Of course, Mommy. Susan, Carol, all of the children are so kind to me."Sabrina smiled gently and said, "You like this kindergarten, don't you?"Aino nodded again. "Of course mom, they are all my friends. I like this kindergarten the most. But mom, if you don't like me here, I don’t mind transferring to another school."When she said the last sentence, Aino's tone sounded obviously lonely.Sabrina put his head against her daughter's head, and said firmly, “My baby's environment growing up, my baby's friends, are the most important. Nothing else matters. As long as you li
Sabrina widened her eyes and looked at the soft, greenish thing with black prints in Carol's mom's hand. That was clearly a snake.Carol's mother screamed, shaking her hand and throwing the snake onto the ground, the little snake curled up and fell right on top of her feet.Carol's mother cried out loud, her legs trembled, and she almost peed her pants."Hee hee hee, ha ha ha. Auntie, you are such a scaredy cat, look at me, look at me." Aino squatted down with a smile, picked up the snake and played with it in her hands.Behind her, the group of children were also laughing.Even Carol laughed at her mother: "Mom, Mom, why are you so scared, we are not afraid at all! That’s not a real snake, that’s just a toy! Haha, mom, look at you, how funny you look."Carol’s mother and all the ladies present were dumbfounded.All of them were so afraid their lips turned blue and purple. Watching the group of innocent, naughty children laughing in such a carefree manner, they were furious. Th
“Susan, you come here too!”“Sydney, come here!”“Ken…”The rich ladies all followed suit, warning their children not to play with Aino anymore. But the children thought otherwise.“Mommy, Aino didn’t bring the snake here. The snake belonged to Carol.” Mia said softly.Carol nodded too. “Mom, the snake is mine. I love this toy snake! I had a deal with the kid downstairs and exchanged many of my toys for it. All the children in my class love it too, it’s so fun!”“Carol Long!” her mother shouted, wanting to give her a slap so badly. “You weren’t like this before! You’ve become like a little barbarian after you started playing with Aino! Throw the snake away!”Carol started crying. Aino stood beside her mother, raised her head and looked at Sabrina. “Mommy, I want to go home.”Aino was an observant child, she could tell everyone was unhappy with her.“Since you’re here, you can’t leave without giving us something! Aino’s mom, since you belong to this group and you attended this
The man that they knocked into seemed to have been waiting for them. He was very strong; Sabrina was knocked backward a few steps. Luckily, Aino was small and agile, avoiding him in time.Whilst Sabrina who stood taller than 170 centimeters fell backward at the impact.“Madam, are you okay!” The man immediately reached out a hand and caught Sabrina’s waist before she could fall, then with an elegant sweep, swept her into his arms.In the near distance, the rapid-fire clicks of a camera sounded. The cameraman was muttering non-stop, “This angle, it’s perfect!”At that moment, Sabrina finally saw the face of the stranger that held her in his arms. He looked fake and made up, a thick layer of makeup on his face. Sabrina felt disgusted the minute she set eyes on him, standing up and pushing him away immediately. “I’m sorry, I knocked into you first. So sorry!”The man lifted his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s an honor to be knocked into by a pretty lady like you.”Sabrina smiled. “I’m gl
She rolled her eyes disdainfully at the group of naive ladies in front of her, “No one plays games like these anymore. Do you really think that you’re suddenly part of the upper class now just because you’re worth tens of millions and own a few pieces of property? You should take another look at the mirror.”The rich ladies were at a loss for words.Emma continued, “A group of country bumpkins like you, playing your stupid games. You even rented the biggest room at this hotel which is owned by my family. We only charged you 600,000 for all that, so did that make you think you were at some cheap motel?!”Carol’s mom was the first to respond. After all, the Long family owned hundreds of millions worth of properties in South City. She immediately tried to smile apologetically, “Uhm…Miss Poole, thank you for your advice, I think we…we’ve learned our lesson.”“Learned? What have you learned?” Emma laughed coldly and shot a question back at her. “Don’t you know that the woman who just le
Yasmine looked at Emma defensively. “Miss Poole, how did you get your hands on her dirty photos?”Emma explained, “She used to be involved with my boyfriend. After digging into her past, I found out that she had been involved with other men as well. It was only because of this secret weapon that I managed to get rid of her. When Sabrina knew that I had these photos with me, she no longer dared to seduce my boyfriend anymore. It seems that she has lowered her standards now and set her target on people like you.”After listening to Emma’s words, Carol’s mother grew even more furious. “Sabrina! Even though my husband isn’t the richest or most powerful man in the city, I’ll never allow you to seduce him. Miss Poole, please give me the photos. I will use them to crush her, and to avenge you too! Don’t worry, Miss Poole, I know socialites like you value your pride, but I don’t! I swear, I want Sabrina’s name to be dragged in the dirt!”Emma smiled and clapped. “I’ll support you all the wa
Autumn continued to warn her, “Emma, other people may not be aware of it, but we know. Dad’s position is weaker than ever at the moment, which makes Alex the most powerful person in our family. However, he’s not on our side, and you know how close he is to Sebastian. You may not understand because you don’t live here in South City, but Zach and I both do. We can’t approach Sebastian even if we wanted to, but now you intend to pick a fight with his woman?”Through gritted teeth, Emma retorted, “Autumn, don’t you know that Sebastian didn’t just capture Sabrina Scott back here to punish her? I’m afraid that he has genuine feelings for her!”Autumn replied with the same worried tone, “That’s why I’m advising you to stop. Dad has already been having a hard time dealing with Alex in Kidon City. If Sebastian is added into the fray, the victims won’t just be you and dad. I’ll be involved as well, and be forced to suffer together with you!”“What are you afraid of?!” Emma snarled, her face t
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
