The next day. It was sunny and bright outside when Sabrina woke up. She felt as though her entire body had been disassembled and barely glued back together, but somehow, she felt energized and refreshed. A shy smile appeared on her face. The two of them had been a couple for some time now, so they had been busy when they were on Star Island and had not been intimate for half a month, but when they finally returned home with some time alone, it felt as though it was their honeymoon all over again. He had some tricks up his sleeves and so did she. After some sleep, she found herself in a much better mood, perhaps due to the beautiful weather as well. Though she still could not find her mother, Sabrina was ninety per cent certain that her mother was still alive. As long as she was alive, there was always hope. It was at least better than her thinking that her mother was dead like she had been the past six years. Living was the biggest hope there was. She sat up from the bed and turned
"Sebastian..." Never had she thought that Sebastian would be the first to bow before her."Once Nigel recovers from his injury, have him over to the Ford Group and co-sign a contract with me. That land by the edge of South City will be developed by the Ford Group alongside the Conor Group," said Sebastian.Nigel, his aunt, and his uncle-in-law froze."Sebastian..." Nigel looked at him, red-eyed.Sebastian glanced over at him mockingly. "You helpless brat!""You're right, Sebastian," Nigel said as he laughed in response."Hurry up and recover. Aino keeps badgering us, saying that she doesn't have an uncle for her to let her ride on. That ought to be you from now on!""That little thing chose the right person to be her horse, then," Nigel said as his laugh grew even more cheerful.Next to him, Minerva was smiling as well. "That naughty little thing Aino loves horse-riding."Sebastian's attention was instantly drawn to Minerva at her words. He glanced over at her before saying to
"Yes, my dear..." Mrs. Conor replied with excitement.On the other end, Sabrina felt slightly better. She hung up after a simple conversation with Sebastian’s aunt before heading back to the bedroom to wash up. She woke Aino up for breakfast and, just when she was about to head out to drop Aino off to the kindergarten and then head to work, her phone rang. She took it out and grinned. It was from Yvonne and she immediately picked it up, "My beautiful Yvonne, why didn't you come pick us up at the airport yesterday?""So now you are bringing this up? Ruth and I were going to pick you up at the airport. You were the one who said that the old Master Shaw needed to talk to you guys about something important. So? Did you talk to him?" Yvonne asked.Sabrina nodded. "Yeah, we did.""Sabrina, that old thing didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Yvonne asked, worried."Yvonne, you are going to be marrying into the Shaw family, so you shouldn't hate on the old Master Shaw simply because I do
"..." Sabrina did not respond. Ruth really was good at pranking her friends.Over on the other end of the line, Yvonne was still very excited. "Sabrina, how did you manage to give birth to such a kind-hearted little thing? She is just six-year-old and she already knows how to buy gifts for everyone. I can't wait to see my present. I'm sure I will be one hundred percent satisfied with it.""...""Hurry down!" Yvonne urged, "I wanted to call last night and ask about my present, but I felt like that's not right considering that you guys have just traveled back and were probably exhausted… Hehehe… I refrained myself for the entire night from disturbing you. Now hurry up and come down already. I was hoping that I hitch a ride with you to work!""Okay!" Sabrina agreed and hung up. She turned around to look at Aino. "Aino, do you have your gift for Aunt Yvonne?"Aino nodded in excitement. "Of course, Mommy."She showed her mother a black bag she was holding and Sabrina could not help bu
Yvonne was so frightened that her hands were shaking.She ran in all different directions, but there was no place to run, so she had no choice but to hide behind the car. Aino looked at Yvonne innocently. “Aunt Yvonne, you… I thought you would like it?”Yvonne said, “Aino! I have never had any grudges with you in the past, and I have done you no wrong recently, so what are you doing? If I’ve done anything wrong, can’t you just tell me and I will change?”Aino was speechless. She lost her self-esteem.Why was everyone afraid of her gifts?Were they very scary?Sabrina shrugged her shoulders and looked at Aino. “Little child, the reason they did not beat you up together was out of respect for your mother, yours truly. Also, you are too young. They do not want to bully the weak and young, do you understand? Little brat!”Aino did not want to submit to a defeat. She looked at Yvonne with an innocent face. Aino was so frightened that her tears almost flowed down. “Sabrina, wh
“I like going to the amusement park the most!” the little child, Aino, said immediately.“That’s a place I have stopped going to for a long time now,” Yvonne sighed and said with disdain.Aino looked at Yvonne with admiration. “Aunt Yvonne, then what do you do for fun?”Yvonne gave it a thought. “Well… costume parties. I like costume parties the most.”Aino asked, “What’s a costume party?”Yvonne laughed and said, “It’s just using all sorts of make-up to disguise one’s original look, and everyone at the party will be dressed as various characters.”She then proudly showed off and said, “I like to act as a witch. A witch can scare a lot of people. Hehe. However, those are all rich people’s games. I want to play, but I don’t have the money to buy so many props…”At that time, Yvonne only said it casually. However, Aino unexpectedly remembered it.Also, Aino even put so much thought into it and picked out a gift for Yvonne.At this moment, Yvonne felt touched while looking at A
‘To make a trip to the hospital?’Sabrina was shocked when she heard it, then she felt happy in her heart.‘Could it be that Old Master Shaw was sick?’This is a good thing. If Old Master Shaw were to die now, Sabrina would not shed a single tear.Sabrina looked at Sebastian, and Sebastian then asked with a calm expression, “Grandpa Shaw, what happened? Are you not well? I’ll come over right now.” On the other end, Old Master Shaw did not answer, but mumbled, “Just make a trip here now.”“Okay!”After hanging up the phone, Old Master Shaw glanced at the interior of the ward.Selene had been staying for one whole day.Yesterday, after Old Master Shaw finished talking with Sebastian in the clubhouse about the secrets of Ford family and Star Island, he then went to the hospital to visit Lincoln. When he arrived at the hospital, Lincoln’s hand had already been bandaged.The only thing was that it was impossible for his severed finger to be reattached. If that finger was not re
Jade immediately got up, then knelt and assumed a prostrate position before Old Master Shaw.The Lynn family of three knew that Old Master Shaw was their amulet.They absolutely had to hold on to this amulet firmly.Just as Jade finished prostrating, she saw Selene collapse onto the floor with a loud thud.Immediately after that, her lips turned blue and she was also spitting blood from the corner of her mouth.“Selene! Selene! What happened to you, my daughter! Selene!” Jade cried and shouted in panic.Lincoln also rushed to Selene and cried out, “Selene, my daughter…”It was Old Master Shaw who was the calmest. “Get the car! Go to the hospital now!”Only then did Lincoln and Jade think of needing to send Selene to the hospital. The three people then carried Selene into the car, and the driver drove them straight to the hospital. After that, they went straight into the emergency room.Selene was being treated in the emergency room for more than an hour, but the cause still co
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
