“Dad!” The man shouted clearly, “Don’t worry, entrust Sabrina to me. I will take care of her for the rest of our lives.”Hearing his promise, Sabrina was stunned.She suffered through countless tribulations not too long ago, all to build a home for herself.To ensure her daughter did not have to wander from city to city, homeless, like her.Her dream had finally come true.Plus, it was with the person she loved.Moreover, they had a child together.She could finally say to her father, “Dad, the three of us are living together as a family. Dad, you don’t have to worry about me being bullied anymore. I’m very happy now.”At the thought of everything she now had, Sabrina felt that all the trials she suffered through, all the pain she endured, it was all so, so, worth it.Didn’t they always say the rainbow comes after the storm?She thought that, from now on, no matter where life took them, no matter whether Sebastian could successfully acquire Star Island, Sabrina knew she would ride the
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Aino looked at Sabrina worriedly, like a cute little adult.Sabrina turned and said anxiously, “Aino, be a good girl, Mommy needs to step out for a while.” Sabrina opened the door and stepped out of the car. Aino was still in the car, so she did not dare to go far. She could only watch as the shabbily dressed homeless woman ran away as fast as she could.She disappeared completely within a minute.Sabrina returned to the car in despair. Behind her, Aino, who sat in the child seat, looked at her mother in concern.Sabrina forced a smile onto her face in reply.Nevertheless, the call from Yvonne was still ongoing.“Hello, hello, Sabrina, what’s wrong Sabrina, Sabrina…” On the other end, Yvonne shouted like a cat on hot bricks. She was worried about Sabrina.Sabrina raised her phone and replied listlessly, “Yvonne, are you off work?”She had already left the office, picked up her daughter and was back home.On the other end, Yvonne asked, “Sabrina, what’s wro
Sabrina hesitated, “Would it be…appropriate for me to go?”She did not want to embarrass herself again.After all, his friends were all VVIPs.He coaxed her with kind words and a soft tone, “If it was inappropriate for you to come, who else could come then? They were all from out of town, and you would be the only one from South City. Shouldn’t you be a good host?”Sabrina laughed right away, “Alright, so I’ll head over now.”“Make it quick. We’re all waiting for you.”“Okay.” After ending the call, Sabrina smiled gently at Aino, “Do you want to meet Daddy’s friends?”Aino nodded, “Of course!”She loved making new friends.“Remember your manners and address them politely, okay?”Aino sounded like a little adult, “Oh please! I’m already five years old, alright? I’m a beautiful and well-mannered young lady.”“Hehe! I’m worried you’re still a little country bumpkin. After all, you only came to the big city from a deserted place like Ciarrai County a few months ago.” “Hah!” Aino raised he
The woman did not take him seriously, “Who could it be?”She did not care.She was a high-class escort working in this clubhouse, and she was notoriously expensive. She had always wanted to enter this private room that was rented out yearlong because this room that was hundreds of square meters big always served four VIP customers, and these four men never hired escorts.This was the first time she was invited to this private room.She was ordered to accompany Master Sebastian.Who was Master Sebastian? He was the King of South City!A woman like her did not care whether he was married or had children.What did that have to do with her?She only wanted to do business and earn money. She knew her worth; she was only worthy of being a plaything for the men in this private room. This was her domain and not his wife’s!Once Master Sebastian’s wife arrived, she would bring her down with her perfect figure and her beautiful features! The woman ran her fingers through her long, wavy hair and
With that, she took out a thousand dollars from her wallet and handed the money to the woman. “This is your compensation. It took you time and effort to come here too, you can’t go back empty-handed.”The woman took the money, not knowing what to say. This was the first time she had seen such a calm and collected wife. If it was another man’s wife, all the women that she had met previously would've gotten so angry upon hearing her words, and an ugly fight would commence. That was what she wanted to see the most.But the wife in front of her wasn’t angry at all. This made the woman extremely disappointed. An embarrassed expression was displayed on her face. “Is it too little?” Sabrina asked.“Huh?” The woman thought she had heard wrongly. “I’m asking you, am I underpaying you?” Sabrina asked her again.“No…not at all.” What nonsense, Sabrina was Sebastian’s wife, how would she dare to ask for more?Besides, she only came and stood here for less than a minute, a thousand dollars was m
Everyone looked toward the person at the entrance. Sabrina’s gaze immediately turned cold. The intruder was no one else but Emma Poole, the woman who wanted her dead two months ago.“Sabrina!” Emma rushed toward Sabrina. “Today will be the day you die!”Before Sabrina could react, the little warrior Aino who had just defeated one other woman, dashed forward and barreled straight into Emma. “Which fresh hell are you from!”Aino was furious! There were so many terrible women recently! Have they been watching too many monster movies? Since her parents had held the family banquet at her great-grandparents house, Aino had been seeing many ugly and jealous women. Selene was one of them, and so was Mindy. But now, this woman in front of her was even worse. She was infuriated! Even though her limbs were short, she had fast reflexes.Before Emma could attack her mother, Aino barreled into her and knocked her down to the ground. Upon impact, Emma stumbled backwards into a cart being pushed b
And yet, Emma never expected that she would trip and fall in the hands of a five-year-old girl. The bottle of acid in her hands had cracked open slightly when she fell and poured right onto her back. She was pierced by glass and now burned by acid. It hurt so badly!Emma’s howls of pain were so loud they could almost bring the roof down. “Ryan…Ryan, please, save me, send me to hospital now! I need anesthesia right now! As long as you save me, I’ll…let you in on an important piece of information…”Ryan finally took out his phone and called the ambulance. But it wasn’t because he was curious about the nugget of information she was offering, nor was it because of his pity toward his cousin. It was because a woman like her was a sore sight to behold.The ambulance arrived in an instant. They heaved Emma onto a stretcher, loaded her into the ambulance, and drove away. The private room was cleaned and finally enveloped in peace and quiet.Amongst four of Sebastian’s blood brothers, Ryan
“Master Sebastian, I just saw her too. I’ll follow her right now, this time I’m confident I can catch up to her,” Kingston said over the phone.Sebastian glanced at Sabrina.“What’s wrong, Sebastian?” Sabrina asked.He shook his head and hung up the phone. “Nothing.”At that moment, seated in the car, Kingston stared at the homeless woman unblinkingly. She looked like a beggar, her clothes torn and dirty, her hair matted together into a clump with dirt. Her long hair covered her face, so Kingston could see nothing but only her eyes. Her eyes were strained on the clubhouse. Her level of concentration made Kingston feel like she might barge inside at any moment.While she was fully concentrated on the clubhouse, Kingston opened the car door and hurtled toward her. Unexpectedly, her reflexes were well-honed. She had noticed him leaving his car and before he reached her, she turned and ran. She ran recklessly, straight into the busy roads and ignoring the oncoming traffic. Fortunately, she
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
