The twelve-year-old girl’s face swelled after being hit, and a glaring imprint of five fingers could be seen.Sabrina was so scared she did not even dare to cry.She only looked at Mary’s parents with shock and horror.She did not want to come to a rich person’s house.She needed to take care of her father after school every day and carry water for her mother on top of all her homework.However, that family chose her. If she did not attend that experiential activity, she would not even be able to hand in her homework. On top of that, her father would not obtain the thirty bucks that were handed out to the poor for medical expenses every month.Sabrina came under her mother’s advice.She did not think that the family would be so fierce, but Sabrina did not dare to tell her parents out of worry that she would hurt them.After Mary’s mother slapped her, she was consoled, “Little girl, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re a little girl from the countryside. You don’t understand
Sabrina surprisingly said, “I know the piano.”Playing the piano was something her mother taught her.With how much they were insulted and bullied by everyone in that village, no one knew Sabrina knew how to play the piano.Playing the piano was Sabrina’s favorite thing in life.They did not have a piano at home. However, her mother was someone who knew music. Her mother drew a piano on a piece of paper for Sabrina and let her practice on that.Sabrina was very smart. Although it was fake practice, Sabrina still took to it with vigor.Every weekend, Sabrina’s mother would put on clothes that they were only willing to wear once a week and bring Sabrina into the city. They would find the only church in the county, and after flattering everyone in the choir, they allowed Sabrina and her mother to practice the piano during the evenings when no one was in the church.The piano songs that Sabrina knew were all taught by her mother. For Elise.Kiss the Rain.Piano Sonata.And so
The twelve-year-old kid curled up on the floor after being kicked, and fresh blood was flowing out from her mouth.She did not know what was wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.Has she performed very well?“Get lost! You lowly filth! Get lost! Get out of my house right now!” In the night, a twelve-year-old girl was chased out of the Smith house.Sabrina walked back home from the county alone. It was already twelve in the night when she reached her home.Her father, who was lying on the bed, and her mother, who was still laboring away, looked on as their daughter came back in the dead of night. Her little face was pale as traces of blood remained on her lips. Their hearts ached as their chests tightened. Her father tumbled out of bed.“My daughter! My daughter! Who dared to bully my daughter?!” Her father slammed his fist on the floor, and the skin broke as blood flowed out.Sabrina calmly looked at her parents, “Is Mary not here?”Her mother cried as she shook her head, “She’s a
She did not even shed a tear when she was beaten up, stepped on, and scolded.She only wanted those people to hurry up and leave. She wanted to wash up at the river, to clean herself so her father would not know.Her father’s illness was too severe. If he knew she was bullied outside, her father would not be able to handle it.She did not want to tell her father, but someone else told him.After Sabrina washed away the filth on her face and head, she headed home to her mother’s miserable cries.Sabrina was shocked and ran into the house.When she went in, her father was only breathing in. He stopped breathing out.When Sabrina entered the house, her father opened his eyes as he said powerlessly, “Sabbie… Sabbie… I… I’m so sorry. I could not give you a good life, and I even burdened you and your mother… Listen to me, after I die, let… Let your mother send you to a big city. You look so pretty, and your results are good. You even know how to play the piano. You can’t be buried her
Mary let out a shiver when Sabrina’s expression sharpened.After that, she smiled at Sabrina mockingly, “Your cousin told me you were back, and I thought it was fake. She even told me you came back here to do that sort of business and that you could take a few dozen men a night. I didn’t want to believe it.”“However, now I believe it. You look like your business is so good that you don’t even have time to change your clothes. Do you only do your business with your pajamas on?”“Are you already dressed underneath?”Sabrina was calmer as she quietly asked, “Mary, do we have any grudges against each other?”In Sabrina’s heart, she did not feel like she had any grudges with Mary.At least, she did not feel that way now.Although her father’s death was due to the Smith family back then, Sabrina knew that her father’s condition had already been impossible to cure. Her father would not have lived for over half a year even without the Smiths.Moreover, Sabrina did not hold a grudge ag
However, she had good connections.Although she was a middle school graduate, she managed to find a good job in the county. Moreover, she married a university graduate.She was still a noble in the county.She had a talented husband whose career was thriving, and she even had a cute son. Her son was being taken care of by her retired parents, so Mary and her husband lived very passionate and sweet days together.Her husband had also been promoted. He quickly became the head of the area, so Mary’s position in the county had been completely solidified.Many of her old classmates, even those who attended university before working, did not marry as well as her, nor did they have her position.Hence, Mary was already used to behaving arrogantly.She had a female classmate who was a teacher in a high school in the county. In front of Mary, she was constantly berated for not being like a teacher and more like a prostitute. Once, Mary even made that teacher sleep with a client from over
Sabrina said in a tragic tone, “How do you plan on dealing with me then?”She did not want to hurt anyone.She only knew her husband’s temper in this county.Her husband did not reveal his emotions. His decisions to kill people were only decided by himself and never shown outwardly. It was only Sabrina who knew of his unbelievably ruthless personality.Hence, Sabrina looked at Mary very calmly at that moment.She did not want to hurt anyone. However, she could only shrug innocently if someone was looking to die.Since Mary wanted revenge, Sabrina needed her revenge as well.She was beaten up when she was a child, and her father died of humiliation and anger. Her mother brought her away from the city. However, the most vivid moments in Sabrina’s heart were still Mary’s mother’s slap and the kick from Mary’s father.To this day, Sabrina’s chest would ache occasionally.A rich and powerful man kicked a twelve-year-old child that was already malnourished.Who would be able to wit
The child did not mean anything by her words, but everyone present was extremely smart, and genius in their own right. From the child’s words, they could tell whether there was a woman beside Sebastian.If there weren’t, they would try their best to arrange one for him.The king of South City!With a stomp of his feet, he could almost cause earthquakes in South City and Kidon City. Whoever could win the favor of a man like him might be able to rise to the top of the playing field in days.Sebastian remained calm and expressionless in the face of such obvious shows of goodwill.None of the people present could guess what he was thinking.They were all extremely anxious.Within them, the most anxious one was Sean Zeller. The other men's wives had already arrived and tried to approach the little princess, except his wife.That little woman!He was usually proud to have her on his arm because she was beautiful, smart, slick and smooth in all social settings. She was a beautiful weapon that
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
