Marcus’s mother also led a secluded life. Therefore, Sabrina could understand that Jane was also living in seclusion, and she probably only had very few people to talk to on a usual basis. Now that she has Sabrina to keep her company, she became more talkative.“Thank you, Jane, for treating me as a friend. Actually, I don’t have many friends. I have always been lonely since childhood. Later on, when I started working, only then did I get to know Yvonne and Ruth. Speaking of Ruth, she has quite the fate with you, Jane,” Sabrina said with a smile. “Is that so?” Jane's gaze was clearly sparkling. She grabbed Sabrina’s hand and said, “A person who could be friends with you, she must have a very good character. You said that she and I are fated. What kind of fate is that? Is she a girl that I know? Who is she?”“She’s the girlfriend of your husband’s nephew. She is Ryan’s girlfriend, Ruth Mann. In the future, the two of you may meet and get to know one another at the Poole family’s pla
Jane instantly turned to look at Sabrina kindly. “It’s nothing, Sabrina. It’s okay.”In Sabrina’s eyes, Jane’s smile was like a clear spring and also a deep lake. She gave Sabrina the feeling as if she was a gentle big sister. It made Sabrina want to protect her in a way. However, seeing Jane pursing her lips tight, Sabrina had no choice but to let it go. Her man was right in front of her. Since the man did not say anything, then Sabrina also could not say much.Fortunately, she saw that Alex also only had a cold expression for a short moment, then he immediately eased up again. He wrapped his arms around Jane and asked warmly, “Are you not feeling well?” Jane shook her head. “No, Alex, I’m quite fine. I saw that Sabrina was wearing a loose-fitting style, and I just wanted to wear it. However, my temperament is different from Sabrina’s, so Sabrina looked good in loose-fitting clothes, but I may not look good in them. Besides, I have always trusted your taste. The style that you ch
Jane comforted Sabrina like a big sister, which made Sabrina feel warm in her heart. “Jane, you are not that old either.” Sabrina said.“Me? I’m already old.” Jane raised her eyebrows with a smile. “Don’t I look young?”Sabrina smiled. “I’m twenty-seven this year, and you look like you’re only one year older than me? At best, two years? I even suspect that you’re younger than me, but I still just call you directly by your name.”“Little sister, you’re truly cute. From the moment I first saw you, I thought you were very cute. You are very proud and unyielding, which is great. I envy you, and I also admire you. I...am seven years older than you. I am already thirty-four this year. I’m half a year older than Alex.”Sabrina was speechless. She blinked. “Jane…what did you say?”“It’s been five years since I have been together with Alex. The year when I got together with him, I was one year shy of thirty,” Jane said with a smile.Without knowing the reason, Sabrina suddenly felt a sa
Sabrian looked at Sebastian, worried. “Sebastian, it’s actually very dangerous for you to go to Star Island, right? You are already thinking of a way out for me and Aino. Sebastian, I don’t want you to be like this…I know I have no right to stop you and not let you go to Star Island because there are all the memories of our mother there. I also certainly will not stop you from taking revenge. However, Aino and I can go together, Sebastian. We could go through fire and water together. Can’t the three of us face it together? I have never lived a life of great wealth and power. All those riches, honors and powers, I don’t want them at all. Without all those things, I can still live. In those six years that I lived in exile, life was so difficult. While taking Aino and my brother along with me, I also survived even if I was like a beggar. If Aino and I lose you in this lifetime, then those powers have no meaning to us at all.”Sabrina looked at Sebastian with a pleading gaze. The group of
‘I…I usually don’t cry at all, alright? I had never cried so hard and long like this before since I was young! How mean!’ Sabrina thought, but did not say anything. She only pursed her lips and raised her teary gaze to look at all the people with proper manners. “I’m sorry that you had to see that.”After saying that, she bowed slightly to the group of high-ranking executives. She was very well-mannered. Even though she was in tears, she was still able to maintain the sensibility that she should have. The high-ranking executives were even more fond of Sabrina then. They all smiled sincerely. Their smiles made Sabrina feel a little more relaxed. She looked at Sebastian. “Sebastian, don’t lie to me...you will truly be fine going to Star Island this time?”Sebastian sneered. “What are you thinking? Are you looking down on your husband? What’s one Star Island to me? I once risked my life to go through fire and water, but that was fifteen years ago when I was only twenty years old.
"Hey!" Sabrina was still calling out to Kingston. She had already become comfortable with him and no longer felt the need to be too formal around him. "Assistant Yates, say something. Don't tell me that even you, the professional private bodyguard of Master Sebastian who is known for your shooting skills, couldn't get a result as good as mine. Don't tell me I managed to hit nine out of ten!"Kingston remained silent."No need to be embarrassed, Assistant Yates. I told you that I'm good at this. I'm just gifted with the talent for shooting, losing to me isn't something to be ashamed of..."Kingston had known Mrs. Ford for such a long time, for six whole years! His impression of her had always been good since he first met her. To him, she was a realistic person with composure, but he had never realized how odd she was until now."Mrs. Ford!" he shouted. "Do...do you know what ‘off-target’ means?""Pfft!" Far away from them on the other side of the shooting range, Alex erupted into laught
Alex enjoyed how his woman was struggling. His lips curled into an evil smirk behind her. Luckily, Jane was an exceptionally gracious woman and successfully maintained her gentle smile as she looked over at Sabrina.On the other end, Sabrina was laughing with her head buried in Sebastian's arms. She stomped her feet in embarrassment. "How could this be?? How could it?? I'm so embarrassed. I...how could I miss all of the targets? Oh..."She had never bragged to anyone before. Sabrina had always been a mature person who would never utter a word about something she was uncertain of. Today, she was overwhelmed with joy to learn how Sebastian treasured her, enough to prepare her and Aino for the future and even going the distance to bring all individuals of high management over and introduce her to them. Though she cried earlier because she was worried about Sebastian, part of it was out of joy. In the end, she got carried away from the mind-numbing happiness and made a fool of herself. How
Alex's expression darkened. "You haven't recovered yet and I am already feeling such a strong desire for you! Damn it!"Moved, Jane giggled. "It's okay, Alex, it's been over twenty days. It's really not as bad as you think. Besides, you kept feeding me ginseng and all sorts of supplements, my body has recovered long before this."Alex narrowed his eyes. "Then why did you tell me that you don't feel comfortable in slim-fitted sportswear just now?"The mention of slim-fitted sportswear had Jane casting a look over at Sebastian and Sabrina subconsciously. The loose sportswear Sabrina wore truly was beautiful. There were no accessories at all but still Sabrina managed to look amazing in it.She pursed her lips and explained, "Alex, I...I just kind of envy the way Sabrina is. She has a proud soul and back when she hadn't made peace with Master Sebastian, she didn't care if she lived or died, though she submitted to him on the outside. She just didn't say it out loud. Her spirit is above eve
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
