Nigel curled up into a ball and the blood on his back spurted out. He looked at Sebastian with a painful expression, “Cousin, I… I didn’t do anything to Sabrina. I just wanted to protect her… To protect her daughter, Sabrina has already suffered so much…”Sebastian supported Nigel with one arm, shouting back, “Get a car here, send him to the hospital right now! Get the best doctor to operate on him. He has to live!”A car quickly sent Nigel straight to the hospital.Sebastian hugged Sabrina with one hand and carried his daughter with the other.“You… How did you barge in? Were you always hiding nearby? Everything my brother and I did, you… You knew all of it?” Holden looked at Sebastian with a fearful expression.He knew how vicious Sebastian was.He knew that Sebastian would do anything he said he would.Since Sebastian said he wanted to attack Star Island, Sebastian had prepared for the matter for six or seven years before carrying it out. Since Sebastian was here, even withou
On the other end was an incredibly old and tired laugh, “Sebastian, how could you not recognize my voice?”Sebastian could finally tell that it was Old Master Shaw on the other end.He suddenly sat up straight, “Old man, what are you saying?!”“I can tell you the secret of Star Island.” Old Master Shaw said again.Sebastian was speechless.After a moment, he asked, “Did you know about it from the start?”“Yes!” Old Master Shaw admitted it bluntly.“Why did you not tell me sooner then? Why did you wait for me to attack this place?” Sebastian asked.On the other end, Old Master Shaw’s voice sounded even older, “One of the reasons I didn’t tell you was that I once swore to your mother and your maternal family that I would keep the secret forever.”“The other reason is that if I told you the secret back then, you would only speed up your attack on Star Island. That was why I always concealed the secret. I planned on letting it rot with me forever, never telling you, but now…”On
Selene did not know who it was from when she received that threatening phone call the day before. However, the moment Nigel blocked that blade for Aino, Selene immediately understood.Nigel came to Star Island to protect Sabrina.Not only that, everyone on Star Island realized that he had taken control of the whole island during the time Sebastian was silent.Holden only realized when he settled back into Poole Manor after Nigel was stabbed. Everyone in Poole Manor had already been switched for Sebastian’s people, and Poole Manor had already been completely locked down.At that moment, everyone in Poole Manor, Harry, Holden, and the Lynn family suddenly realized.Everything was an illusion.The peace they thought they had, as well as the strength, was only a surface-level appearance.In truth, they had already fallen prey to Sebastian.At that moment, Holden was deep in thought, and Harry was on his seat, stunned. The entire Payne family was in a state of helplessness. They wer
Old Master Shaw’s voice turned sorrowful, “Sebastian, can’t you do me this favor?”“Favor?” Sebastian calmly asked on the phone, “If it weren’t for you, Selene would have already died six years ago. Six years ago, she was pregnant with an unknown child and somehow suffered a miscarriage. She even told me that the child was mine. Do you think she would still be alive if you weren’t standing in front of her?”Old Master Shaw was speechless.Sebastian said, “Also, six years later, I found my wife, and she did so many things to my wife. If it weren’t for you, don’t you think she would already have died a hundred times over?”The calmness of Sebastian’s voice showcased how cold and stubborn he was.On the other end, Old Master Shaw resisted his tears, “Sebastian! No matter how despicable Selene is, she has never killed anyone. I don’t think her crimes are worthy of death.”Sebastian replied, “Never killed anyone?”After that, he laughed coldly, “Do you think the Lynn family has never
Sabrina finally lost her smile.She suppressed her anger and asked word by word, “May I ask Old Master Shaw, have you ever seen me seducing anyone with your own eyes?”Old Master Shaw said, “Was Sebastian not one? How about Nigel? Did you not do it to Zayn? There was also Holden of the Payne family in Star Island. He was about to be Selene’s boyfriend, but you managed to seduce him in two days. Weren’t you snatching him away from Selene intentionally?”“Correct! Haha! You’re absolutely right!” Sabrina was so angered by Old Master Shaw that she burst out laughing and went along with the lines of Old Master Shaw’s words, “That’s right, I seduce men wherever I go! I wasn’t properly educated when I was young. How could I compare to your granddaughter? Your granddaughter is the jewel of the Shaw family! What am I? Haha!”“I’m just a woman who went to prison!”“Isn’t stealing the men of other women something ex-convict women do?”“Old Master Shaw, don’t you think you’re wasting your ti
On the other end, Old Master Shaw smiled.Sebastian looked at Sabrina, stunned.He never expected Sabrina to agree to Old Master Shaw’s request.Sabrina and Old Master Shaw were still on the phone, “However, Mr. Shaw, if your secret is not worth it, or if you’re lying to me, you’ll never meet your granddaughter again!”Old Master Shaw’s tone was much more relaxed, “Don’t worry, for my whole life, I’ve always been a man of great integrity. If I said I had an earth-shattering secret, then I have one. Your mother-in-law, Sebastian’s mother, wanted me to keep that secret. If I hadn’t been forced, I planned on keeping it to myself my whole life.”“It’s not just for me. It’s for Sebastian’s mother’s sake.”“However, now that Sebastian has effortlessly taken down Star Island, it’s actually better for him to know this secret.”Sabrina said, “What’s the secret?”Old Master Shaw smiled coldly, “I’ll tell you after my granddaughter is back in South City! Also, if this secret is that great
“Hahaha, hehehe…” Sitting in between her parents, Aino laughed until she could not control herself anymore and almost fell to the ground.The sound of their laughter rudely awakened Nigel, who was resting in the adjoining hospital ward.The pure white ceiling entered his eyes the moment he opened them. He turned to look at his surroundings, and it was filled with the same pure, clinical white. He then dropped his eyes down and saw the bedcovers. They were also in that same clinical white. A bad feeling engulfed his chest. At that moment, Nigel felt as if he had even stopped breathing.Did he stop breathing?He sat in silence and quietly listened to the voices coming from the room beside his.It was a clean, childish pitch. “Daddy, Mommy, when are we going home, I...I miss my friends from kindergarten. I haven’t been to school for three days, Daddy.” Aino asked guiltily as she laid on her mother’s thighs while her head rested on her father’s stomach. Sebastian’s tone was incred
Aino jumped up in shock. Sabrina and Sebastian looked toward the neighboring hospital ward simultaneously. The doctor did mention yesterday afternoon that Nigel would wake up this morning.Both of them immediately climbed down from the bed and went to the neighboring room. Each held one of Aino’s hands in theirs. The moment they arrived, they saw Nigel lying on the bed and crying like a baby. Nigel was not at all surprised to see Sebastian and Sabrina walk up to him. He looked at Sebastian with tears flowing from his eyes, “Sebastian, I…Did I die just like this? I…I’m not like you, I’m not married yet. I still want to marry a loyal and faithful wife like Sabrina, I…I don’t even have a child. The three of you can be together forever, but what about me? I can’t! Sob, sob, sob…I haven’t lived my life fully yet. I don’t want to die!”Sebastian barked out a cold laugh, “If you still have your eyes on your sister-in-law, I can consider sending you to heaven immediately!”Nigel sat
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
