“Of course! I’m the owner of East Hall. Here, I keep all of my promises.” Holden said.“Oh… Oh, I have a big horse to ride now.” Aino hugged her teddy bear and ran out to play in delight.Children still loved to play outside in the courtyard.Because it was big and spacious.Holden continued smoking his cigar. Then, he said to Sabrina, “A few puffs more and I’m done.” Actually, he just started smoking the cigar in his hand. Sabrina laughed out of the blue. “Why… Why are you so nice to my daughter? It seems like you… really like children?”“Why?” Holden tapped the end of his cigar. Then, he closed his eyes to consider her question.“I used to be alone all the time when I was a child. When I was around Aino’s age, all I wished for was my father to hug me, my mother to hold me in her arms, but they never did. He was always so cool and distant from me, and my mother told me…”At the thought of his childhood, a flash of hurt passed across his face.Sabrina said, “What did your mother tell
Aino remained in her seat on Holden’s shoulders, her little hands clutching onto his ears.She was just temporarily shocked. Once she saw the man’s face clearly, the fear dissipated immediately.She looked at the middle-aged man who just walked in with a mixture of dislike and haughty derision, and shouted, “Who are you! Don’t you know barging into someone else’s home is a criminal offense! You’ll be thrown in jail, you know!”The old man’s features were flat and pudgy, like a character from a comic book, not possessing an ounce of her father’s power and charisma.Even the ‘horse’ she was currently riding on had more power and charisma than this middle-aged man.Aino was not afraid of him at all.She squeezed her ‘horse’s’ ears, and ordered him in a voice that sounded fierce yet cute, “Horsey, kick out this little dwarf!”She looked as if she was the leader of Star Island instead of the man she was currently calling a dwarf. Holden was speechless. “…”Sabrina was speechless too. “…”E
He had almost been caught by Sebastian.However, Holden’s private investigations in South City were not fruitless.He had met Sabrina.Holden had fallen for that unyielding moment ever since he saw Sabrina stubbornly resisting, even after being caught and beaten to that degree.Did he fall in love with everyone related to her as well?Or maybe Holden had always loved children?Or were there any other elements present that he did not know about?Regardless, not only did Holden fall in love with Sabrina, he really liked Sabrina and Sebastian’s daughter.So, Holden would definitely not agree to marrying Selene.However, in the eyes of the Lynn family, Holden was not the one to decide if he would marry Selene or not.The Lynn’s family’s status on Star Island was incredibly high thanks to Old Master Shaw and the Poole family’s influence, so Selene felt like marrying Holden was beneath her.Holden should be more than elated to marry her.Yet, what Selene never expected was, when
Selene cried out in pain. Her bruises on her head had yet to recover, and being pounded by Aino like that caused a gigantic bruise to rise up and welt on her head. It even quickly turned purple in color, like it was filled with blood.Even Aino covered her mouth in shock.She had not been planning on hitting Selene that time!Who she wanted to hit was the short old man.However, that short old man was way too short, and even Selene, who was not considered tall at all, stood a head taller than the old man.Aino looked at Selene regretfully. “Haha! Ugly Lynn! You’re so unlucky!”Sabrina exclaimed, “Oh…”It had been a dangerous and scary situation, but Aino had turned it into a comedic one just like the child she was.As Sabrina finished laughing, more unreserved laughter could be heard from behind them all.Selene looked back in pain, frustration, and hatred, and saw Minerva, who had just got back from school with a few bodyguards behind her.“Hahaha… This is too funny! Sel
She was just hit by the eyes of a stuffed bear a few times, so why were the bruises on her daughter’s head so obvious? And why were they purple?Jade felt shocked and scared.She did not care about anything else at that moment. She just wanted to quickly bring Selene for a checkup. Jade brought her daughter to where they were staying.Watching his wife leave, Lincoln turned around and prepared to leave as well.Before he left, he turned around and glared at Sabrina. “Wench! Even your daughter is so vicious at such a young age. It would be fine if her bruises will recede, but if they don’t, I’ll skin you and your daughter alive! After skinning you, I’ll cut you up!”“Is that so?”Sabrina smiled wretchedly. “Lincoln Lynn! Between me and your family, I won’t rest until you die! You don’t know why I followed my husband to Star Island! All you know is that you hate me, but you’ll never think that my hatred for you is a hundred times more than your hatred for me! We’ll see! If your fam
Holden immediately asked, “What do you think is wrong with Selene?”Sabrina shook her head. “I’m not sure, it’s just a feeling. Her skin tone is much more yellow-ish compared to how it was back in South City, like she’s malnourished. She also looks skinnier, but her skin seems to be a bit swollen. Just look at how easily she bruised after being hit a few times with a toy by Aino…”“You mean…she’s sick?” Holden asked excitedly.If that ugly woman was sick, it would be best if it was an incurable disease, and that she would die immediately!He was so disgusted by her!Sabrina shook her head again. “I still don’t know. It’s just a guess.”She was not a doctor, and could not diagnose illnesses.She just felt that Selene’s health was a little abnormal.At that moment, Sabrina actually did not want Selene to die of some disease. It would make things too easy for Selene. Sabrina still did not have her revenge yet!However, if God wanted someone to die of an illness, who was to say ot
She had already contacted her friend, and they were now just waiting for Sabrina to fall into the trap.Jade had a look of triumph on her face because the man she knew was just like an invisible man on Star Island. No one knew or recognized him. Harry did not know and Holden did not know, so Sebastian and Sabrina definitely did not know.Even her own daughter and husband did not know.It was Jade’s best trump card!She was absolutely confident in her victory.At that moment, the servant outside said, “Sir, Madam, the doctors are here.”“Bring them in right now!” Jade immediately said.Four doctors came in from outside. They were all Harry’s regular doctors. Harry had already explained the situation to the doctors over the phone and the doctors all brought medicine meant to help with blood clots.All three of them looked at Selene’s bruises seriously.Their conclusions were wildly different.“Don’t worry, madam. Miss Lynn’s bruises are because her skin is too delicate and fair
Selene jumped in fright.The other party had a sinister and scary voice, and also sounded very threatening.She trembled as she asked, “You… Who are you? How-how did you get my number? Are you with Sabrina?!”Selene’s voice had a strong tone of frustration and jealousy.Sabrina had just been on Star Island for a day, so why were so many people helping her?First, it was Selene’s current fiance, Holden, and now, it was this unknown man. The man’s voice did not sound like Sebastian at all.Who could it be?Furthermore, Sebastian had yet to show himself, so where did that man go?Selene had a lot of questions in her heart when the man spoke. His voice was even more sinister. “Selene, listen here. I’m a man who doesn’t care about his life! If the Lynn family dares to touch Sabrina, then I will never let you live. I will force you to repay everything you owe Sabrina! With interest! Remember, I’m a man who is willing to give up his own life!”“Ah!” Selene was so scared she dropped h
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
