Sabrina smiled slightly in Nigel’s direction, then turned to face away from him.She did not have an ounce of love for him. Only friendship. The familial love she had for Zayn was much stronger than the friendship she shared with Nigel. However, there was an added sense of gratitude. Besides this, there was nothing else.At this moment, Sabrina focused her complete attention on her husband. He captured Selene and both her parents' home. The irony was that they came full circle and were right where they started, with her enemies alive and well. Moreover, they were about to step onto this piece of land again, safe and sound. All of this was thanks to Selene’s all-mighty and omnipotent grandfather. The elderly man tried his best to kill her six years ago.Sabrina let out a cold laugh at the thought of Old Master Shaw. She felt disgusted as if she was about to vomit. However, she had no choice but to face him. She wondered what the invaluable secret he held was. She was desperate to kno
“What?!” Sebastian was harshly taken aback.Sabrina was equally shocked too.Sabrina and Sebastian made various predictions about the invaluable secret that Old Master Shaw held on the journey to the clubhouse. However, they could not have guessed that Sebastian had a younger brother who shared the same father and mother as he did. A younger brother.Such a calm and collected man as Sebastian could not even help it and stared in wide-eyed shock at Old Master Shaw. He had a younger brother? He was also born to his parents. Did that mean his brother carried the Ford family name too? He did not know what he was feeling for a split second, whether it was excitement or something else. He found it hard to sit still. Sabrina reached out and held his hand, and he then managed to calm himself. At this moment, he had a strong feeling. He could almost guess… With a shift of his eyes, he noticed Sabrina was looking at him too. She obviously seemed to harbor the same assumption as
“Oh, right!” Rose added, “Don’t dream of escaping, it’s impossible for you to escape overseas when you’re so heavily pregnant. As long as you’re on this island, I can find you even if you crawl into a rat hole.”After saying her vicious piece, Rose left the little marital home that Sean bought for Grace. “No…please don’t do this to me, my children, my two children…” Grace sat on the floor, sobbing helplessly.She did not have any family. She was all alone, and the man she loved the most in the entire world was Sean. She had two more family members, the children in her tummy. She refused to sit back and accept defeat. She would seek out Sean and fight for the chance to give birth to her two children. She had to fight for her children’s right to live even if her reputation would be thoroughly ruined or the whole world cursed her for being a mistress.Seven months into her pregnancy, her belly was huge. Grace fumbled to the house where Sean and Rose were staying, but the servants r
Grace was thoroughly despaired. However, Grace felt like a warm bowl of soup had been poured into her chest when she heard someone address her as their ‘dear girl’. At the same, her tears rolled down her face like a string of pearls.“Dear girl, dear girl, don’t cry, what’s wrong, what happened, tell me.” The middle-aged man’s tone turned even more gentle.Her voice hoarse from her tears, she asked, “Can I ask, who are you?”She had never seen this middle-aged man on the island before. She could feel he was not any ordinary old man. He exuded an aura of absolute dominance between his eyes, like a warrior who returned from battle. Her guess was accurate. The man she encountered was Old Master Shaw in his prime. Old Master Shaw was in his early 50s back then. The Shaw family and the Ford family were old family friends. The Fords were businessmen, while the Shaws were military men. Although the two families did not have any business ties, the close relationship between them had be
“What? You’re…a descendant of the Summer family?” Old Master Shaw looked at Grace in disbelief. “Dear child, your father is Joseph Summer, the old leader of the island?”Grace looked at Old Master Shaw. “You should know my father, he’s the former leader of this island.”Old Master Shaw was dumbfounded. He knew Joseph Summer not because he was the former leader of Star Island. After all, he had just arrived here. He knew Joseph because back when he was just a teenager, he had studied in the best military school abroad, and that was where he had accepted financial aid from Joseph. It wasn’t a big amount, only a hundred dollars or so. But he always believed a drop of kindness should be returned tenfold, or even more. Old Master Shaw's heart ached for her sad encounter. “My dear girl! Don’t worry, leave this to me! I will beat him until he divorces his wife and officially take you as his legal and rightful wife. But, you mentioned just now the person you love is Sean Ford?”Grace nodd
When he met Sean and his wife, Old Master Shaw dragged the words out between his lips and told them his intention to visit their home.Before the words left his mouth, Rose started to cry hysterically. Not only that, she even fell to her knees in front of him. “Uncle Shaw, you…you watched me grow up, you watched Sean grow up too. You know Sean and I are childhood friends. We attended college together, we studied abroad together, we fought hard, and built the Ford Group together. We already have three sons together. Do you want to see my perfect family fall to ruins just like that?”Seeing her cry and wail like this, Old Master Shaw was infuriated. He questioned her furiously, “Since you know the importance of your family, then why would you plan everything yourself and to find Sean a mistress?”As he said that, Old Master Shaw coughed slightly in guilt. He had no right to question her on this, because he himself was a married man who had another secret family. That was why he regr
“This time, no matter what, someone has to be sacrificed, and what’s wrong with sacrificing Grace Summer alone? I already tried my best to reduce our losses as much as I could. That’s right, doing so is unfair to Grace. But there is nothing much that is fair in this world. As the only wife to the director of the Ford Group, I have to be ruthless!” Rose was a gifted orator, she sounded sad and pitiful, and yet loyal and righteous. Old Master Shaw had nothing to say in rebuke. In the end, the old man left Sean and Rose’s house with his tail tucked between his feet. But, how was he going to explain himself to Grace when he got home? That night, Old Master Shaw wandered along the streets of Star Island until the wee hours of the morning. The next morning, he trudged home with heavy footsteps. The moment he stepped into the living room, he saw Grace sitting on the sofa with her pregnant belly. It was obvious that Grace did not have a wink of sleep throughout the night. Seeing the old
Old Master Shaw raced to the hospital when he heard Grace had gone there alone. Grace lay collapsed on the floor, blood and amniotic fluid gushed out of her. She grabbed onto the old man’s leg. “Uncle, save me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want my children to die. Please, I beg you, save me…”Old Master Shaw did not know what to do at that very moment. After a moment’s pause, he shouted, “Doctor! Wheel her into the surgical room immediately!”Then, he turned and said to his bodyguard, “If Mrs. Ford comes and causes a scene, stop her firmly. No matter what, we have to ensure the safety of Grace and her two children. The children are innocent.”“Yes!” The guard obeyed.Just as Grace was pushed into the surgical theatre, the wife of the leader of Star Island went into labor. His wife wailed fervently in pain, anxious sweat peppered Ben’s forehead. He begged the doctor. “You have to ensure my wife and my child’s survival, otherwise all of you doctors will die with them!”Because he
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
