Back when they were living in Ciarrai County, she had fought with countless children her age despite being smaller in size than most of them. She had instilled fear in the hearts of many, boys and girls, and had plenty of experience in fighting. Aino raised her arm as she spoke and the beautifully crafted slingshot she was holding came into sight. She lifted the slingshot high in the air and placed a bullet-like item onto it, before gritting her teeth and firing fiercely."Aino!" Sabrina screamed. She couldn't tell who Aino was aiming at. What would happen if she accidentally hurt someone? The next second, she saw a splash of water on Selene's face.The water combined with the mess that was already on Selene's face and made it messier than ever. Unknowingly, she thought that she had been hit by something lethal and wailed, "Don't hit me, don't kill me!""Hmph!" Aino snorted smugly. "What a scaredy-cat!"The slingshot was a gift from her Uncle Kingston. Instead of rocks, which could
Sabrina called out immediately, but Aino had already fired with her slingshot. Although it looked like she was aiming for the old Master Shaw, she changed her target at the very last moment to fire towards her own great-grandfather Henry. The capsule hit its target perfectly, causing a splash on old Master Henry as well. Luckily, Aino had used the capsule filled with sugary water this time. The old Master licked the water dripping from his face and realized that it was sweet. He looked over at Aino to find the little girl glaring back with her hands propped on her hip."You cranky old man, you bullied my mommy! I am never calling you great-grandpa or play with you anymore! I'm going to hit you with this slingshot until you cry every time I see you from now on! Hmph!""Oh my..." Old Master Henry was not at all offended by his great-granddaughter's ruthless prank. Instead, he chuckled and started to slowly walk towards Aino with his hunched back and trembling feet. "Aino, my precious l
After a few moments of silence, she finally found her voice and said, "You...there's no need for that. You aren't young anymore, you should take care of yourself."She caved in to her own soft-hearted nature. She was never a forceful or arrogant person to begin with, not to mention when dealing with Sebastian's family.Sabrina gazed up at Sebastian and he immediately got the message. "Grandpa, take a seat first. It's straining for you to be standing for so long."Henry obediently returned to his seat. His wife almost immediately started jabbing him with her crouches, but he did not attempt to resist, knowing that he deserved it. When she was finally done with punishing her husband, the old Madam Ford called the still furious Aino over and said, "Aino, come here to your great-grandmother. Let me tell you, I would never bully your mommy. Quite the opposite, actually, because your great-grandmother is the one who loves your mommy most. See? I've helped punish your great-grandfather."
Lincoln gaped at Sabrina and realized that the smile had faded from her face, leaving only the pure, silent hatred oozing from within her soul."Sa-" He struggled to say something but couldn't seem to find his voice."That's right, you remember correctly. I'm Sabrina, Sabrina Scott, not Sabrina Lynn," Sabrina interrupted.Lincoln's heart sank at the unspoken words of what Sabrina truly meant to say. "That's not- I...But still I-" he stuttered, but was once again intercepted by Sabrina before he could finish."But still you had raised me for eight years? Be honest, Mr. Lynn, did you really? For the eight years I lived under your roof, never once have you given me any love or concern apart from what little you gave me as living allowances. I have not received a dollar from you ever since I went to college. Besides, I believe I've made it even by taking your daughter's place in prison, don't you think so?"Selene wanted to argue, but soon realized that her life was hanging by a threa
"What?? Is there something you would like to say about my mother's death?" Sabrina questioned sharply. "There is no need for that, I will look into it myself! You should mind your own business, Mr. Lynn!"Sabrina had not mentioned that she wanted revenge, but it was enough to scare the daylights out of Lincoln."You should be fine. As long as you haven't betrayed your conscience, that is!" she added.Conscience? He couldn't afford to think of that. Seeing the way Sabrina stood in the middle of the hall in her beautiful dress and the crystal heels Sebastian put on for her, accompanied by her loving husband and daughter, his heart throbbed with excruciating pain. The pain intensified especially when he saw the adorable little girl Aino. It was the kind of pain that shook one to the core. He finally realized that Sabrina was exactly like a weed. She would not succumb to fire, nor would the rain kill her. All it would take was a wave of summer breeze and she would revive.He felt as th
Seeing that the old Master Shaw had closed his eyes, Sabrina sighed softly. Before she could speak, Marcus who was standing next to Yvonne shouted, "Sabrina!"She turned around to look at him and reassured him. "I know."Marcus knew that Sabrina was an understanding young woman, who would never seek out to harm someone aggressively. If she could let the Lynn Family go, it was likely that she wouldn't be too harsh to his grandfather. If he had to be completely honest, Marcus hated his grandfather for all the unjust acts he participated in against Sabrina. But at the same time, his heart ached at the sight of his grandfather being placed on the spot for all eyes to see. He could only look at Sabrina, silently pleading for her mercy.Sabrina turned back to look at the old Master Shaw and said, "Old Master Shaw, I just want to tell you that, we... I've never offended you in any way or tried to take anything away from your granddaughter. I might not have a father, but I was once my mother's
Next to the entrance, Marcus turned around and saw Mindy, still frozen in place where Selene once stood. She stood alone, her eyes socket sank deeply into her skin, giving her the resemblance of a sewer rat."You ugly troll! You were bullying my mommy at the door just now, why are you still here? Aren't you sisters with that other troll? She is already gone, why aren't you gone too?" Aino confronted her sharply within her great-grandfather's arms.Mindy couldn't respond in any way. She simply looked at Marcus with an unspoken plea in her eyes. Marcus, on the other hand, stared back fiercely. The judgment and contempt was undeniable in his eyes. Mindy's heart sank into despair at the realization that her cousin had lost any form of sympathy for her."Cousin Marcus..." she tried again."Don't call for me!" He rejected her plea in an instant.Tears welled up in Mindy's eyes as she struggled to call out again. "Grandpa Shaw..."The old Master Shaw didn't have the heart to ignore her.
Kingston nodded seriously. "Yes.""Do not tell Sabrina about this just yet," Sebastian commanded expressionlessly."I understand, Master Sebastian, but...Mrs. Ford said she wanted to go back to her hometown a few days ago, and now...""Everything will go as she planned. She hasn't been back for a long time now, it's normal that she wants to go pay a visit. I'll go with her, maybe then I'll be able to pick up some hints on this.""Yes, Master Sebastian! I'll take my leave now," said Kingston. Though his cousin was here as a guest, he still felt that it would be inappropriate for an assistant like him to remain in the hall unless he was summoned.After Kingston left, Sabrina leaned over to Sebastian curiously. "What happened?"Sebastian paused for a moment before explaining, "I asked Kingston to send the old Master Shaw and Marcus back. He came back to report to me that Marcus refused his offer and will send his grandfather home himself.""Oh...""Do you hate him?"Sabrina shrug
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
