Lori: “Marcus, you…”Marcus’s tone and expression warmed slightly. “You, your mother, and your daughter can all move into the Shaw family residence, but keep to yourself; don’t try to cause trouble around the house. If you think my words are cruel, you can choose not to move in!” Lori never expected Marcus would change his attitude so quickly. As if he did not acknowledge her as his relative at all, but her mother told her that her mother had grown up in the Shaw family home. She loved every tree and every blade of grass in their courtyard. According to her mother, she was practically the princess of the Shaw family, like a little lady of the house. Why were things so different now? Lori hated it! But she remembered what her mother told her. “Lori, times are different now, the aunt that loved me like her own is dead, and the uncle who also loved me is now an old man. Now, we have to rely on the power and influence of the Shaw family, so we have to obey them.”At this thought,

Lori laughed immediately. Suddenly, she felt confident. “Mom! In the future, both of us must marry into the Ford family! We have the right to become the most revered and noble women in this city!” Jennie answered, “Of course!” She pulled her daughter into her arms. “That’s why, for the moment, we have to cling onto the Shaws, they’re our relatives and our biggest stepping stone, do you understand?” “I… I understand, Mom.” The mother and daughter drove further and further away.Meanwhile, on this side, Sabrina was feeling depressed too. Lori had made it clear that she and her mother would be moving into the Shaw family home today. Just yesterday, Kingston had also made it clear that Sean Ford planned to hold a family banquet and invite the Shaws. If Sabrina guessed correctly, the main goal in holding a banquet and inviting the Shaws was because they wanted to invite Jennie Gibson, right? Somehow, the news made her sad. She remembered her own mother. That night after work, S

“Aunt Gloria, actually… You still care a lot about my grandfather, right?” Marcus asked carefully on the other end of the phone. Gloria laughed lightly. “Marcus, if I said no, would you feel bad?” Marcus replied, “No, Aunt Gloria.” “Marcus, you are a good child, I will always acknowledge you as my nephew because biologically, you and I are connected by blood. We are very close. And, you are different from your grandfather and your father; you never rejected me. Not only that, you… You even took care of your step-grandmother’s old house. I know you’re a loyal and affectionate man.”“Thank you, Aunt Gloria,” Marcus said with a smile.“But your grandfather was different,” Gloria said dully. “When your grandfather abandoned me, I was just born, and I didn't have any ability to fight back. Throughout my entire childhood and adolescence, I was rejected by my birth father.“Your grandfather made me understand that I am a sinner, a sinner who was cast aside and spat on the moment she
Chapter 1313
The Shaw family house… Years had passed since the last time she was here. This was the place which she both longed for and where she was also humiliated. When she was a girl, she was terrified, even when she walked past this house, worried that the dogs would come out and bite her. When she was seventeen or eighteen, she had been thrown out by the servant with her arms crossed over her chest. Later, she managed to get into music school but had no money to pay tuition, and back then, her mother was also in hospital and needed money urgently. Back then, she secretly came here, trying to contact Old Master Shaw.However, not only did she fail to find him, she was also caught by Mrs. Shaw. Mrs. Shaw brought her to a corner not far from the Shaw residence and threatened her. “In the future, if you try to sneak into the Shaw residence again, I will sell you the dirtiest establishments so that you will never see the sun again.”Back then, she was in utter despair. Now when she recalled

Gloria was staring dazedly at the sight before her eyes. The old man and the young woman in front of her looked like father and daughter, based on their chemistry. Even after decades apart without seeing her, Gloria recognized her with a single glance. The years had not left many marks on Jennie’s features. Jennie was truly blessed by the heavens. She still looked as noble as ever, living a princess-like existence. And what about herself? Bleak and desolate from head to toe; because she was worried about her daughter’s happiness, she left her home without even combing her hair. At that moment, standing in front of such a noble and graceful lady, Gloria truly felt unworthy and inadequate. The old man in the wheelchair, he smiled very happily just now."Your relatives are back?" Gloria asked, her voice hoarse. Old Master Shaw: “…” He saw his own daughter. She was so haggard and so sad. The old man felt as if his heart had been carved out of his chest cavity with a knife. Act

“Uncle, Uncle, what’s wrong? Why did you get so upset the moment you saw this woman? What’s wrong, Uncle?” Jennie asked in concern.Old Master Shaw was still coughing so much he could barely speak, but his eyes were trained on Gloria.Gloria was pale as a ghost. She had pondered the issue throughout the night. She had decided that she would come and question the old man first thing in the morning. Why did he just watch as his niece and her daughter harmed Sabbie? And endlessly at that! Gloria had even decided that, even if the Shaw family wanted her life, she was willing to give it to them. She could die. But no one -- no one -- could steal her daughter’s happiness away from her! These were the thoughts that ran through Gloria’s mind throughout the night. Coming here today, she was already prepared to lay her life down. But at that moment, when she saw how her own father still loved that child, as if she was his own daughter, while she herself, his true daughter, flinched in

Jennie’s tone was harsh, like she was berating her and questioning her, but her dislike stood out the most. Just like how 30 years ago, she disliked the shabbily-dressed little girl who stood in front of the Shaw family residence like a beggar. “I was wondering what happened to my uncle, why did he get so angry all of a sudden? As it turned out, even after so many years, you are still lingering around us!” Gloria did not say anything. “…”“You… Why are you so shameless! It is true the fish stinks from the head! What’s the saying? That children are perfect mirrors of their parents? You and your mother are exactly the same!” Gloria was dumbfounded at the curses Jennie threw her way. Since she was a young girl, she hardly got into arguments with others; she was used to being honest and straightforward. Thus, when she met Jennie who was used to being superior and demanding, Gloria was defeated mercilessly. Moreover, her heart began to bleed when she saw how Old Master Shaw still

‘If you’re still so useless next time, you need to chop off your hands yourself! Think about your daughter and how much suffering she went through; she almost died several times to obtain the happy life she now enjoys. If this life is ruined by someone else, how are all of you going to live on?‘And you yourself How much hardship have you suffered in your life?‘All because of the Shaw family! ‘Gloria Shaw, why are you so afraid of them!’ The 50-year-old world-weary woman looked in the mirror as she sobbed and berated herself, ‘You have lost everything, you’re all alone in this world; what are you still afraid of! In the future, you can’t be afraid anymore, not of anyone!’ She kept encouraging herself. Right at that moment, her phone rang. Gloria lifted her phone and saw that it was a call from her daughter. She immediately answered, “Sabbie, are you at the office, my dear daughter?” On the other end of the phone, Sabrina knew something was wrong the moment she heard her moth
