Actually, he knew very well that Sean intended to leave the island. He had also retracted all of the infrastructure, factories, and the like back to South City. But Sean did not want to destroy the island. He even hated the thought of cutting ties completely with Ben Payne. Maybe in the future, there might be a chance for them to cooperate. Sean was not a stupid man, he would not destroy opportunities for development with his own two hands. Sean asked to see the old man not only to suppress him, but also to comfort him.At that moment, Old Master Shaw was looking at Ben Payne confidently.“Alright!” Ben agreed straightforwardly. Old Master Shaw heaved a sigh of relief. He returned to Grace’s ward and told her, “My dear girl, the matter has been agreed to. From now on, you have to give one of your sons to the Payne family.”Tears flowed down her face as she nodded. “I know…”“So let us sign an agreement, only the two of us shall know of this secret. And the Payne family. Neither
Rose immediately snorted. “You deserved it!”A hint of sorrow flashed across Sean’s face. This was the entire story of how Grace gave birth to her children on Star Island. Grace was desperate to be with Sean, she truly loved him, but she had no choice. Rose would never allow them to be together. To keep a close watch over Grace, Rose brought Grace back to South City, but she was forbidden from staying in the Ford family residence.There were no signs of her existence in the Ford family residence, not a piece of her clothing or an errant toothbrush. She was only Sean’s mistress, and the Ford family would never acknowledge Grace or her son. Old Master Shaw even had to fight Rose for Sebastian’s right to carry the Ford family name.This drama involving a man with two wives was finally suppressed by Old Master Shaw. After they returned to South City, the old man aided her in many, many aspects. Because of that, Grace was always very grateful to the old man. She even thought of him as he
And Old Master Shaw asked Grace to forget the child and never ever mention him again.That was why, until the moment Grace passed away, Old Master Shaw clearly knew what she was trying to say and yet he still kept the truth hidden. Because the moment the secret was exposed, it would cause problems in both South City and Star Island. But Old Master Shaw could not predict the following actions that Sebastian took, and neither could he control him. Sebastian’s strength and influence that he amassed abroad had far surpassed the old man’s expectations. He also did not expect Sebastian to be so determined to visit Star Island.Later on, when his entire focus shifted to Selene, he started to lose all his fair-mindedness, all his just and equitableness, maybe because his age was starting to catch up with him. But he kept his promise all along and never exposed the secret to anyone. He thought he would take this secret with him to the grave, but to save his granddaughter, the old man finally
When Old Master Shaw was telling Sebastian about everything that happened in the past, Selene and both her parents were also listening. A range of expressions flitted across their faces. Initially, before Old Master Shaw exposed the secret, their faces were filled with worry. Especially Selene. She saw with her own two eyes how Sebastian took down the island so effortlessly. He was too capable and powerful. They could not compete against him.If Sebastian did not believe the old man, the three of them might turn into lost souls under the wrath of his gun in the next second.However, when the three members of the Lynn family listened to Old Master Shaw telling the story of what had happened between the Ford family and the Payne family, their eyebrows had already smoothed out. They knew the old man had a trump card hidden up his sleeve. They were absolutely certain now that Sebastian would let them live thanks to the old man, in the future, he might even treat them as valuable guests o
The little girl’s palm print stood out on Selene’s cheek.Selene gasped. “You…”Aino was laughing so hard, her head bobbed up and down. “Hehe, Selene, you should thank me, you’re prettier now. You were so skinny your face was nothing but bones, and together with the white bandages on your head, you look really, really ugly. But now that I gave you a slap, you’re not so ugly anymore, so you feel grateful to me, right?”Selene trembled. “I…Aino Scott, I’ll hit you until you…”Before she could finish her sentence, Sabrina had pulled Aino into her arms. Selene raised her hand in mid-air but did not dare slap the little girl’s cheek. Though she knew Sebastian would not dare to harm her because of her grandfather, still she did not dare return the little girl’s slap.But Old Master Shaw was angry. He looked at Sebastian, and scolded sternly. “Sebastian! You know full well how tough it was growing up. Aino is your daughter. If you want to groom her into a talent, you have to be strict wi
“What nonsense is that!” Hearing Sabrina’s words, Natasha jumped up in anger and pointed at her. Lincoln’s fingers were almost poking into Sabrina’s face. “You shameless woman! How can you be so brazen…”“Swoosh!”Out of nowhere, a knife appeared in Sebastian’s hand. It was a short and yet an incredibly sharp knife, but it glowed coolly in the light. It was clean and dry, without a single speck of blood on its blade. And yet Lincoln’s finger that was almost poked into Sabrina’s cheek fell to the ground soon after the swoosh of the knife was heard. Sebastian’s actions were incredibly fast. So fast that Lincoln did not even feel the pain even though his own index finger had been cut off.By the time he recovered, Sebastian was already hugging Aino into his arms, a hand covering her eyes and the other on her ear, not letting her see or hear the miserable situation. Then he left, carrying Aino in his arms.Lincoln wailed in pain and agony. “Ouch…my finger! My finger is gone!!”Sebasti
[Fine! It’s not that I don’t dare, I just can’t bring myself to do it.][So my dear cousin, you better tell me whether Sabrina is in danger.]Kingston replied, [If she is, what do you plan to do?][If the Old Man Shaw dares to wrongly accuse and frame Sabrina again, Ruth and I will kill him! I don’t care whose grandfather he is!]Kingston sighed at Yvonne’s message.She continued. [And, we couldn’t do anything to the Lynn family when they were on Star Island. But now that they’re back, even though Sabrina and Sebastian can’t do much to them, Ruth and I can! We will try our best to make them die horrible deaths!]Kingston only replied to her message a moment later.[Don’t worry, just based on the strong bond of friendship you, Ruth and Sabrina share, Master Sebastian and Sabrina would never allow you two little girls to risk your lives. Don’t worry, Master Sebastian won’t allow Sabrina to suffer any harm, neither will he let her enemies off the hook so easily. You and Ruth can ju
Kingston sighed. “I’m 99% sure that is the truth.”The six year old little kid did not understand what he meant by bringing up 99%, so she asked again, “That old man from the Lynn family, is my Mommy’s daddy?”Kingston nodded. “Yes.”The moment he said that, the little girl started crying. Just a moment ago, she was like a little warrior, swearing to protect her mother, wanting to hook the old man with two metal hooks. How did she start crying just a moment later?“What’s wrong, little princess?” Kingston was terrified.Aino wailed, “Why? Why did this happen, Uncle Kingston? Shouldn’t fathers love and cherish their daughters, just like my Daddy loves me? But why doesn’t my Mommy’s daddy love her? Instead, he loves my Mommy’s enemy! Why? Uncle Kingston, my Mommy is so pitiful.”Kingston sighed. Because she was just a six-year-old child, her thoughts and mindset weren’t as complicated. She could not comprehend the evil and ruthlessness that adults had. All she knew was that, since
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
