“Pfft!”“He could have a woman anytime, and he could change to any kind that he wanted!”“However, that island was the only one.”“My Grandpa Shaw might be able to be of big help to conquer that island!”“Therefore, Sebastian would definitely dump you! He would definitely marry Selene!”“When the time comes, Selene and I would join hands and send you to the deepest ends of hell!”“Hmph!”“Just wait and see!”Mindy had such great dreams throughout the night.She imagined that she could shine brilliantly at the Ford family’s banquet. There was only one day left before the Ford family’s family banquet, and many people had different thoughts in mind. The hosts of the banquet, Sabrina and Sebastian, have been calm and composed instead. Both of them respectively went to work and got off work according to their work routines.When Sabrina left work on Friday, she deliberately checked with her two best friends again, “Have the two of you chosen your dresses?”Ruth and Mindy both
Sabrina’s face suddenly turned red for a moment. “Really?”Before Sebastian could answer, Kingston took the lead and answered Sabrina, “Of course it would be real, Madam. It had already been announced on the Ford Group’s official page that you were the director’s wife. The entire city knew that you were the director’s wife, so they would no longer view you with their prejudice as they did in the past.”Sabrina knew that Kingston was kindheartedly comforting her. She smiled, and her smile was indifferent. “Thank you, but it didn’t matter. No matter what kind of scene it would be tomorrow, I would be fine with it. I only wanted our family of three to be together forever, and that would be best. As for the other slightly awkward situations, I could bear them all.”After saying that, she even took the initiative to lift Sebastian’s hand and placed her small hand into the man’s hand. The man did not say anything. He only held Sabrina’s hand tightly. The family of three rested early
She would have a sorrowful feeling after that. At this moment, Sebastian timely interrupted her when she was lost in her thoughts and dazed, “Don’t dilly-dally anymore. Get up if you’re awake. A makeup artist would come specially to do your makeup later and then go to the banquet venue with you.”Sabrina asked inconceivably, “Were such troubles necessary? We even have a makeup artist over at our house. How big of a deal could it be?”“It was not a big deal, but it would be a great opportunity to show off your status, understand?” Sebastian said. Sabrina nodded. “Understood!”She got up and had breakfast. The makeup artist came not long after to do her makeup. After nearly two hours of work, they then started to depart. Before leaving, Sabrina gave Yvonne a call. Yvonne picked up the call very quickly, “Hello beautiful, let me guess how pretty you would be today.”Sabrina said with no restraint, “Definitely prettier than you. So how is it? Are both of you ready?”Yvonne n
Marcus could hear the disappointment in Yvonne’s tone, so he immediately explained, “Yvonne, listen to me. It was because something suddenly came up for Ryan and I. You also knew that my grandpa came back from Kidon City after his treatment. He was already 80-years-old. My grandpa and Old Master Ford’s relationship had been very good. He said that it was a big thing for Old Master Ford to hold a family banquet, so Ryan and I must go in advance to help.” “We couldn’t go against the old man’s wishes.”“However, even though Ryan and I couldn’t personally pick you and Ruth up, we sent a car to pick you up. Call me immediately when you arrive outside of the Ford Residence. Ryan and I would go out to escort both of you.”Marcus’ tone was particularly apologetic. He was a very trustworthy person, but he did not expect that he would be called by his grandfather when he was supposed to leave.At that time, Marcus even explained to Old Master Shaw, “Grandpa, I couldn’t go to the Ford Resi
When Yvonne arrived downstairs, she then recalled something and said to Ruth, “Ruth, I want to give Sabrina a call.”Ruth immediately nodded, “Mm-hmm, this was so we could be a little safer, right?"Yvonne took out her phone and dialed Sabrina. On the other end, Sabrina picked up the call quickly. “Yvonne, let me guess. You must be sitting in Marcus’ car right now, right?”“Sabrina, tell me, where are you now?” asked Yvonne. Sabrina was speechless. She was sitting in Kingston’s car. There was only Aino next to her, and Sebastian was not there. When they were about to leave an hour ago, Sebastian was called by Old Master Ford who said that there was an urgent matter. Sebastian hurriedly arranged for Kingston to wait for the mother-daughter duo to pack up, and he drove to the residence by himself first. “Sabrina, you didn’t answer me. It clearly meant Sebastian was not by your side, right?” Yvonne seemed to have figured something out. Sabrina’s heart also sank a little.
The one who had appeared in front of Kingston, Sabrina and Aino, was Mindy. Mindy looked much prettier and full of spirit compared to four days ago. However, she still had dark circles under her eyes, and her face was still sunken like a ghost. The way she looked after putting on heavy makeup and an elegant floor-length dress made her look like a female ghost with deep schemes.“Sabrina Scott! Hope you have been well!” Mindy took the initiative to greet Sabrina.“Auntie, hello.” Before Sabrina could say anything, Aino spoke first. Mindy pretended to be polite, “I heard your name was Aino Ford.”“Your name is Aino Ford! I am Aino Scott, my last name is Scott, alright?” Aino blurted out without knowing that it was all a trick. Mindy tapped on her head. “Oh! Look at this memory of mine. Yes, your last name is Scott, Aino Scott.”Aino immediately stuck her tongue out at Mindy. “It’s so disgusting to have my name remembered by a hideous ghost!”The little kid even spoke like an a
“Mindy Mann! This was our director’s wife. You should speak more politely!” Kingston immediately said sternly. Mindy sneered, “Mrs. Director? Apart from the matter that Sabrina did not hold a wedding with the Ford Group’s director, if people have been married for even more than ten years, they could still get divorced. Who could guarantee that one can be Mrs. Director for a lifetime?”The statement made was already loaded with threats.Kingston was so angered that he put Aino down and wanted to give someone a beating. However, he was stopped by Sabrina.Sabrina looked at Mindy with a faint smile. “Mindy, what my daughter said was right. If a woman like you, who didn’t even know you were ugly, came to the banquet venue, you could only exist to be mocked by the public. Since you were not afraid of being mocked by the public, why should we care about you? I’m happy to have one more item for us to make fun of at the banquet.”“You!” Mindy was so angered that she could not breathe p
Mindy was ecstatic when she saw Ruth’s incomparably awkward expression. She almost wanted to clap her hands. Mindy was dying from being aggrieved these few days. Ruth had been very obedient to Mindy in the past and was as loyal as a dog. If Mindy told Ruth to go east, Ruth would never go west. If she asked Ruth to scold whoever, Ruth would certainly let that person have a miserable end. At that time, all the people that Mindy wanted to handle with crude means, she would let Ruth spearhead the attacks. It was through this way that the person who offended others would be Ruth, and Mindy could be the proud, cool, and reserved young lady. However, since Emma set up that devil’s banquet for Sabrina, Ruth no longer listened to Mindy’s commands. A useless dog! Of course, Mindy could no longer keep Ruth anymore, so she let her aunt and uncle mercilessly kick Ruth out. When Ruth cowered outside and froze for the whole night, Mindy knew about it, but she felt it was the punishmen
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
