The old Master Shaw was instantly relieved. "Are you going to tell me that that kid Ryan is going on a date with you?""Yes, Grandpa Shaw!" Mindy replied proudly.Pleased with the news, the old Master Shaw said, "Good, let's set the venue for your date at Grandpa Shaw's house. Just think of it as a casual meal.""Okay, anything you say," she said, before pausing for a moment and suggesting, "Grandpa Shaw, I want to invite a few socialites who used to be close with me over as well! They all avoided me ever since Sebastian ordered to cut me off, so I want them to see that, even though Nigel broke up with me, I still managed to attract the interest of the young Master of Kidon City! This is the day I shine, Grandpa Shaw! From now on, one of your granddaughters will marry into the Poole family, while the other will marry Sebastian Ford. You are going to be the old man that holds the highest power in all of South City and Kidon City!"The elderly man was grinning from ear to ear at her
The old Master Shaw had teamed up with the Pooles against Sebastian, and Sebastian himself was focused on taking over Star Island, so there was no way that he would have the time to care if Mindy visited the Shaw family. The other reason Mindy had stopped coming to visit the Shaw Family was because of her cousin Marcus. Her cousin had always cared for her deeply since they were young, at least until Sabrina appeared six years ago. His attitude toward her changed drastically and, by now, he had grown sick of her. On top of that, he was starting to grow fond of Ruth instead. Was it because Ruth was close with Sabrina?"Sabrina Scott! I, Mindy Mann, am going to beat you! Together with Selene, we are going to defeat you and show that once a prisoner, you will always be a prisoner. Just like you were six years ago. I am going to strip you down to nothing and have you kneel before you crawl your way out of South City!" With an egocentric ambition in heart, Mindy stepped into the Shaw reside
So soon? Mindy was so excited that she could not bring herself to turn around. She immediately retrieved a small spray bottle from her purse and sprayed behind her ears, as well as on her wrists. Once she was done, she turned arrogantly to the socialites she was demeaning and asked, "Hey, do you think my dress is pretty?""Of course!" they responded in unison."What about…my perfume…?"Once again, the socialites responded in unison, "Very flirtatious. It will surely put your fiancé under your spell."Mindy was vibrating with a thrill. She came prepared. The dress she was wearing cost about eight hundred thousand and her purse cost another hundreds of thousands. The perfume she used on her underarms was called ‘Seduction’, a fragrance that had been known among socialites, but no one had been able to get their hands on. Rumors had it that it was a magical potion that could get any man heads over heels for the wearer. The bottle contained only five milliliters but was worth hundreds o
There was just every member of the Poole family and a few socialites that she specifically invited, whom she used to be friends with. This was supposed to be just a normal family gathering and she was the only one who was overdressed for the occasion, which simply made her look even more like a fool.Showering in the judgmental and mocking stares of every guest in the room, Mindy shouted at Marcus, "Cousin Marcus! Aren't you supposed to be my cousin? Hurry up and chase Ruth out! She is nothing but a streetwalker! I have proof that she is and she is trying to take my husband from me! Cousin Marcus…” Mindy broke down in tears, but Marcus remained distant. The old Master Shaw and Marcus's parents, who were chatting in the living room, heard Mindy's screaming and came out. The three were livid when they saw Ruth."Who let you in??" The old Master Shaw pointed his cane at Ruth furiously.Ruth muttered shamefully, "I'm sorry, old Master Shaw, but when you invited my fiancé to your house
Mindy followed the voice and looked in its direction. The ones who came in the door were Sabrina and Sebastian. Also, behind them, Yvonne was holding the hands of the little child, Aino. ‘Why are they here?’ Old Master Shaw purely wanted to create an opportunity for Mindy and Ryan to get along today. He never wanted to invite anyone else. When he saw that Sabrina and Sebastian had come, Old Master Shaw was obviously upset. However, Sabrina did not mind at all. She held onto her husband’s arm, slowly came to the front of Mindy, then said seriously, “Mindy, look who’s at the door.” Mindy turned her head around and she saw a woman standing at the door. The woman was in her forties. She had big wavy curls and an aura of a woman that lived a lifestyle of debauchery. It was her! The lady boss of that shady hotel. Mindy forced herself to pretend to be calm and questioned Sabrina, “Why did you bring her here?” “To ask for payment!” Sabrina retorted without hesitation.
If people from the entirety of South City knew that Mindy used borrowed money to dress herself up, then could she still live in the future?“It’s her?” Sabrina sneered. “Mindy, the clothes that Ruth is wearing from the top to bottom are less than ten thousand dollars. On the other hand, your clothes, including your bag, cost more than a million dollars. Where did you get your millions of dollars from?”Mindy was speechless. “Speak!” Sabrina asked without yielding. “I… My uncle and aunt saved up for me,” Mindy mumbled haltingly“Haha!”Behind her, Ruth suddenly cried. She asked while she cried, “My dad and mom saved money for you to use? Mindy Mann, my dad and mom have never had good jobs in their lives. My family was so poor that I never got to buy any new clothes, and I only wore your hand-me-downs. My parents only knew how to play poker and gamble when I was young. If they won, then they would treat me a little nicer. If they lost, then they would hit me when they returned ho
Sabrina was speechless. She looked at Mindy with a calm expression. “What is it?”“I have been hiding a secret in my heart all along. A secret that nobody knows. Regarding this matter, Selene only told me alone, and I am now going to tell you this secret. However, I have a condition. You let me off the hook this time. How about that?” Mindy pleaded with Sabrina with an incomparably eager gaze. Sabrina shook her head. “Mindy, you owe people money after all. I can’t help you with this.”“You can! You definitely can! As long as you’re willing, you can definitely help me. You are Master Sebastian’s wife. The almighty Master Sebastian’s wife. You can definitely help me. If you help me this once, I will trade this secret with you. How about that?”Sabrina was speechless. After pausing for a moment, she asked, “What aspect is it regarding?”“Your mother,” said Mindy.Sabrina was stunned. If it were something else, Sabrina would have thought that Mindy was lying. However, Mindy ha
Besides, the piercing pain of her bottom was unbearable, so Mindy could not care to counterattack against Aino.In this case, Aino has taken a big advantage of Mindy. After Aino’s sudden explosive series of continuous punches, both of Mindy’s eyes instantly turned into raccoon eyes.Her eyes became as black as coal, and the parts of her eyelids and eyeballs could not even be told apart.The situation was quite comical.The people present in the room could not help but laugh at her.Marcus also laughed, but his mother, who was behind him, was sobbing. Marcus then turned her head around and consoled his mother, “Mom, there are many things that I can't clarify with you in this short a time. I have always had a suspicion."Mrs. Shaw asked, "What suspicion?"Marcus seriously asked, “Mom, you know my aunt and uncle well. Tell me in your own words, are my aunt and uncle such willful and vicious people?”Mrs. Shaw shook her head.Marcus let out a long sigh.Mrs. Shaw immediately thou
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
