The woman in the kitchen was incredibly virtuous. Aino followed her around like a little tail as she busied herself around the kitchen. “Aunt Jane, the steamed clams that my Mommy wanted, are they ready now? I want to try one now.”“Hehe.” Jane laughed at her antics. “It’s hot. I’ll prepare one for you but wait for it to cool down first, okay?”Aino nodded immediately. “Okay, Aunt Jane.”Jane took one out for Aino and put it on a little plate for it to cool down. A minute later, she took it onto her fork and carefully stuck the fork into Aino’s mouth.The little girl ate with gusto. Jane watched her with gusto too, as if the food was in her own mouth.In the living room, when the two men saw this scene, a smile appeared on Sebastian’s face.While Alex’s expression showed his mixed feelings.Did he not want children?He did!But he really did not want to have children with Jane.Because he did not want to hurt her.Somewhere, deep in his heart, he still missed her, that woman he could
Only then did Kingston say, “Madam, at the moment, no one knows that we’re here on Star Island. The person who picked us up is our inside man.”Sabrina nodded in relief. “Alright.”The four of them climbed into the car at the same time, with Kingston seated in the passenger seat in front.Sebastian, Sabrina, and Aino sat in the backseat.The moment they boarded the car, the little princess looked happily out the window, enjoying the scenery of Star Island.Even though Star Island was just a tiny strip of land, as big as a small city, the scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful. The weather was warm and humid.Seeing the little girl’s sharp intakes of breath as she gasped at the beautiful scenery, Sabrina switched seats with her, letting her take the seat beside the window, so that it was easier for her to look at the landscape outside.In front of them, the driver reported the situation on the ground to Sebastian and Sabrina as he drove.“Master Sebastian, Madam, yesterday the soldie
But once he saw it with his own eyes today, the driver believed the rumors completely.Especially the Lynn family who escaped to Star Island. Every time they met someone, they would tell them the director’s wife was a vixen, bewitching Master Sebastian the moment she arrived. Selene Lynn even insisted that she was Master Sebastian’s rightful fiancée.But in the end, her fiancé was stolen by that vixen.Every time they heard Selene repeating these words at various different events, Sebastian’s subordinates who were stationed on the island felt like laughing.Their daughter was already five or six years old, and she was nothing but a fiancée!How could she say her fiancé was stolen by Sabrina?But no one on the island tried to argue with the three members of the Lynn family.Because the moment they stepped onto the island, the three of them were welcomed enthusiastically by the Payne family.That Selene Lynn!No matter how many times they looked, she was nowhere as pretty as Sabrina, nor
Sabrina was startled and hurled herself into the car without a second thought. She grabbed Aino into her arms. “Aino, don’t be scared, baby! Mommy is here! Mommy is here with you!”Then, by the time she turned around, the car door had been slammed shut.Sabrina: “…”She looked around her.Sitting beside her and Aino was a man with a pair of sunglasses. A faint scent emitted from his body, and it smelled quite good.“What…what do you guys want?” Sabrina’s heart beat fast in her chest. She clutched Aino tightly against her chest, glaring angrily at the man wearing the sunglasses.The man remained silent.He did not look at them either. Curled up in her mother’s arms, Aino suppressed her fear and her tears and glared angrily at the man too. She pursed her lips and shouted, “You baddie! Let me and my Mommy go right now! Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”The man scoffed, “Ha!”His voice was low, merely a rumble of his throat.But his voice immediately raised Sabrina’s suspicions. She called ou
It was an easy win indeed!Just when Holden was immersed in his euphoric victory, out of nowhere, a pair of chubby fists suddenly punched into his thigh.“Ouch…” Holden held onto his thigh. Before he could react, the powerful pair of little fists punched into his left eye.“Ouch…”Sabrina: “…”She looked at her daughter with worry and fear. “Aino! He’s not your father! Don’t move, baby. Don’t hit him, do you hear me!”She did not know if Holden would push Aino out of the car in a fit of anger.If he did, she would kill him, even if she had to bite him to death!She thought Aino would obey her after she scolded her, but she never realized the girl was the kind to rise up to challenges.Especially when they were in danger, even though she was afraid, she always wanted to protect her mother. That was why she never cowered in fear!She suppressed the sob that was about to take over her voice and instead put on a tough act as she yelled at Holden furiously, “You baddie! You are a big, evil
The moment Sabrina raised her head, she saw Selene.Seeing her again after a long period of absence, Selene seemed more haggard now. The skin on her cheeks had taken on a yellowish tinge, like a shriveled zombie whose blood had been sucked dry.Nevertheless, her aggressive air remained the same.In comparison, Sabrina was remarkably calm.She had always been like this.The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer she became.She pressed her mouth against her daughter’s ear, “Baby, later, I’ll grab onto the woman’s legs and press her to the ground. Then you’ll run. Run as far away as you can. Do you remember the route we took when we came in?”This was a tacit understanding between the mother and daughter.Last time, when Sabrina first entered the Ford residence with Sebastian, she secretly told Aino to run as far away as she could if she noticed anything odd about the Ford residence, on the condition that she remembered the way they came in from.At this moment, Aino said softly to
“I want to pop your head like popcorn! You evil woman, I’ll beat you, beat you, beat you! Ha!” the little girl cried as she hit her.Even though Selene was an adult, just now, she had been too careless.At this moment, she lay face-down on the ground. It was already difficult for her to flip herself over, what more with Aino riding on her head, it was even more difficult for her to get up. The steel eyeballs that Aino hit her with were firm and solid, ramming repeatedly into her skull. A searing pain erupted from her head.All Selene could feel was the pain and she forgot to defend herself.Every time Aino whacked Selene’s head with the steel balls, Selene instinctively raised her arms and covered them over her head. She had no time to even think about fighting back.Haha!Aino was fired up from her lack of response and increased her tempo.In a moment’s time, numerous bumps appeared across Selene’s head.It hurt so badly, Selene started to beg, “Stop hitting me…”She had to raise her
Sabrina and Aino, the mother and daughter pair, simultaneously looked toward the petite young girl standing in the doorway.The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she had a haughty and insufferably arrogant expression on her face.Aino glanced at her mother and said self-deprecatingly, “Mom, we’re so useless. Another woman appears the minute we subdue this evil woman!”“Aino, shut up!” Sabrina rolled her eyes at her daughter in exasperation.Then, she looked at the arrogant, yet plain-looking girl in front of her. “If my guess is right, you must be Lord Payne’s daughter, Minerva Payne?”“What do you know about me?” Minerva’s tone was questioning. She asked a further question, “Who are you two? Why did you appear in my house all of a sudden, and even beat up someone right here! Don’t tell me you two are new servants. You don’t know the rules around here, so you got into a fight the moment you arrived?”“We’re not servants, you’re servants! You ugly lady, don’t
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
