Chapter 1084
Selene felt a chill down her spine at the voice. She turned around to find a pale-skinned beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor. The woman looked to be around the same age as Selene's mother but was taller and more elegant than her in comparison. For a moment, she couldn't tell who that was. Six years ago when the Lynns imprisoned Gloria, she had just been transported back from foreign land, ragged and covered in dirt like a common beggar, so Selene never managed to see what Gloria actually looked like. She stared at the woman before her in confusion and asked, "who are you?""She's my aunt!" Marcus growled.Aunt? Selene paused to think for a second, before chuckling, "Well, my cousin's aunt is my aunt, too. You are probably older than my mom, right? Hello, Auntie. I'm your sister's daughter's daughter. Um...why hasn't anyone told me that Grandpa has another daughter?""She is my mom!" Sabrina jumped into the conversation."Ah!" Selene suddenly noticed Sabrina, who was sitting r

"You don't want to die, but you want my daughter to die?" Gloria questioned sharply."I...she...if she doesn't die, my...my fake identity will eventually be exposed." Frightened, Selene ended up spilling the truth."Ha! Haha!" Gloria started laughing bitterly out of the blue. She turned to look at the old Master Shaw. "Are you seeing this, Mr. Shaw? This is your granddaughter. It doesn't matter if she is an imposter or the real one, but she is the one you chose. You have despised my daughter for six years for her sake, and after six whole years, my daughter finally came home but still, you won't let her be! Mr. Shaw, do we have an unresolved grudge from our past lives?"The old Master Shaw looked at Gloria in tears. "You are my Gloria. You are my Gloria, aren't you?”She chuckled, despite the despair. "The Gloria you are speaking of, is your daughter, right?""Gloria..."A bitter smile appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw, but I...am really not your daughter. I'm not lying

Sabrina stood up and helped her mother up. “Alright, Mom.”Gloria heaved out a breath of relief. She looked at Lincoln, Jade and Selene who all lay on the floor in a pile of soft, weak, limbs then looked at Sebastian.Sebastian immediately answered her, “Yes, Gloria?”“Not only did my ex-husband imprison me, he even framed my daughter and used her. He has committed too much evil to be forgiven, both he and his wife are accomplices. And, his daughter Selene, she became a true murderer nine years ago. That’s why the three of them should be incarcerated, only then can my daughter be avenged.”“Alright, Gloria!” Sebastian nodded.“Come on, let’s go.” Gloria called out to Sebastian and Sabrina. She did not bother taking a single glance at the old, wizened Old Master Shaw, whose tears were streaming down his face. She further ignored Marcus Shaw and his parents. “Gloria…” The old man’s voice sounded ancient. “No matter what, you’re still my daughter, my own flesh and blood. Even thoug
Chapter 1087
She looked pained as she recalled the past. It all happened more than 50 years ago. Back then, Old Master Shaw was in his 30s, high-spirited and vigorous, his military career was also rising day by day. Old Master Shaw and his wife were childhood friends, playmates; the two families were equally wealthy, both coming from prestigious and well-respected families. Naturally they got married, and later, had a son together. Happy times did not last, Old Master Shaw did not have much time to spend at home with his wife and son. Soon, he returned to work.That year, the old man was deployed to the middle east to help maintain peace in the region. There, he met a teacher who taught piano and drawing. That teacher was from Kidon City, she was there because she liked the scenery in the middle east and wanted to stay for a while. She had applied for a job in the area, teaching children piano and drawing.One day, Old Master Shaw passed by and heard her playing the piano. He couldn’t help himse

Old Master Shaw was stunned when he heard the news.Then, he looked at Goldie in disgust. “When I was framed and hunted by my fellow soldiers, I wondered if you were the secret puppet master behind the event.”Goldie was struck silly by his words. “How is that possible? I’m just a sojourner, I have neither wealth nor power. How could I have orchestrated something like that?”His tone warmed slightly. “Are you here to ask me to pay for your abortion?”Tears filled Goldie’s eyes immediately. “N…no.”“Then what do you want?”Goldie kept quiet.“I have a wife and we love each other very much! We have been married for years, I’ve always been very disciplined, never sleeping around with other women. That’s why, I want you to abort the child. I will pay for everything, I can even pay you some compensation. Just name your price!”Goldie was sobbing so badly she could hardly speak. “I’m sick!”Old Master Shaw frowned. “You are sick!” Goldie nodded. “I have less than 20 years to live!
Chapter 1089
Goldie was rendered speechless by his words. After a long pause, she softened her tone further and pleaded, “Please, I beg you, help me, give me a title, and let me give birth to our child. Then, I’ll divorce you immediately so you can reunite with your wife!”“You’re crazy!” Old Master Shaw did not care for any of her words. He flung her aside and strode away.Coincidentally, three days later, his mission was over and it was time for him to return home. Before leaving, he did not even bother to pay Goldie a visit because he did not see the need to.It was impossible for him to be responsible for two women. The person he loved was his wife at home, her and her alone. Even if he went home and admitted his mistakes to his wife, she would forgive him considering the circumstances. From his youth until he became an old man, he always took responsibility for his actions! When he returned home, first he fooled around with his wife, checked in with his mischievous son, and then he told
Chapter 1090
After a pause, Goldie said to Old Master Shaw and his wife, “Now that things have already come to this, I have nowhere to go. I beg you, please marry me. I don’t wish for you to love me, I don’t want anything, I just want to live.”She held herself like a lowly servant. A crowd gathered around them. Old Master Shaw was conflicted. Finally, succumbing to pressure, he divorced his wife, then signed a marriage certificate with Goldie. After Goldie obtained the Certificate of Permitted Birth, he immediately divorced her and remarried his first wife. Since then, Goldie lived in a house near the Shaw family mansion in South City. He had promised to pay for her living expenses every month. The amount was small but it was enough for her to live off of. She could earn a living for herself, teaching piano and drawing lessons. Maybe it was because of her desperate desire to live, or perhaps because she was pregnant and her bodily functions had improved, or perhaps because she no longer lived

“As for the child, I will pay for her living expenses every month! And as her mother, you have to take responsibility and raise her. Whatever the child turns out to be, whether good or bad, it has nothing to do with me at all!”With that, Old Master Shaw threw some money on the ground and left. Gloria was left all alone, sobbing silently. How she wished her daughter could meet her own father. She wished for it so desperately. However, she could not. Her father was within arms’ reach, but Gloria turned one year old and still had no idea who her father was. Sometimes, when Goldie brought one-year-old Gloria to the park to play, while the child was just starting to speak, when she heard other children calling out, ‘Daddy, daddy’, the little one-year-old girl would imitate them, babbling out a string of words with spittle rolling down her jaw, “Ah… Dad, ah…Dad…”Every time this happened, Gloria was thrown into despair. As this happened, Gloria stayed near the Shaw family mansion. Eve
