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

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!

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

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
Chapter 1092
That afternoon was the first time the three-and-a-half-year-old little girl got to know her father. Old Master Shaw left the house with his wife. He was wearing a suit, and his wife was dressed in a beautiful dress. The couple was dressed handsomely, looking sophisticated and elegant. Beside them was a boy, around seven or eight years old. The family of three made onlookers turn green with envy.“Look, Gloria. That’s your daddy,” Goldie said to her daughter.“Daddy’s so handsome,” the little girl said. “Yeah, your father is handsome and powerful. He’s a good man, just and upright. When you grow up, you have to be a filial daughter to your father because he gave you life, do you understand?” Goldie educated her daughter.Although her daughter came from a single-parent family, she never cultivated hatred in her daughter. Even if her father never visited her even once throughout her life, never acknowledged her as his daughter, Goldie wanted to plant in her daughter’s mind an ima
Chapter 1093
“Mommy, I want to play the piano for a while.”The three-and-a-half-year-old little girl neither knew how to read sheet music nor could she play the piano. However, usually to coax a smile out of her daughter, she would hold her and sit in front of the piano, teaching her fingering techniques. Every time she taught the child, she would tell her, “Music can cleanse one’s soul; it can also make that person happy.”Perhaps the child took her words to heart but, in her subconscious, as long as she could play the piano well, then her father would be happy. Once her father was happy, maybe he might grow to like little Gloria?That night, the three-and-a-half-year-old played the piano for two hours, looking like a solemn little pianist. Even though she was still so young, she caught on quickly.Within six months, the four-year-old Gloria could already play a full song. It was called ‘Little Bell’. She did not play it very well, but her performance had a childish sort of beauty. The fo
