"However, I really can't follow you back and act all happy in front of you. That's because you and I are really not close to each other at all. Not only are we not close, but every time I see you, I will be reminded of my weak and sick mother, who had been lonely all her life, and had died with so much resentment."Speaking of that, Gloria lowered her gaze. No words were able to describe that kind of pain."My mother was a person who had never been willing to trouble anybody. Even when she knew that she was seriously ill, she did not trouble her family. Instead, she chose to go somewhere far away by herself. The loneliest and most helpless day in her life was the day she saved our life! She had saved you! What did you do instead? You treated the savior of your life as the woman who kept pestering you. You treated her as a woman from the lowest position in this world. You were deeply afraid that she would ruin your family. Your noble character and integrity, your loyalty, and your dev

Four hours later, Old Master Shaw was wheeled out of the emergency room. Marcus' parents, as well as Marcus and Yvonne, were waiting outside the door. Gloria, Sabrina, and Sebastian were also at the side.Marcus immediately stepped forward, grabbed the doctor's arm. "What is the situation with my grandfather?" There was a sense of worry in his voice.The doctor sighed and shook his head. It seemed like he had made a tough decision before he said to Marcus, "Old Master Shaw is already very old and is already considered to be at the end of his journey. He is expected to live for another week at best. All of you…may prepare for his funeral.""No!" Marcus instantly burst into tears. "Grandpa…""Dad…""Dad, you have always been very healthy…"Marcus' parents rushed forward and wept. Gloria, who was nearby, bit her lips as she watched everything. To be honest, she was feeling guilty at that moment. She felt she should not have said such provoking words to such an old man.When she saw

Both the mother and daughter had yet to really set foot in the Shaw Residence. When they came to the solemn and mighty mansion, Gloria instantly stopped in her tracks."Mom." Sabrina raised her arm and wrapped it around her mother's shoulder.Gloria looked at her daughter. "I am afraid. Do you know that?"Sabrina nodded. "I know.""That is a kind of fear that had been etched in my heart and could never be erased for life." Once Gloria approached the entrance of the mansion, she was reminded of how she was standing outside of this huge mansion and was chased out of the house by her classmate, Jennie Gibson, who was an incomparable noble little princess wearing a princess gown.There was also…her own brother as well. They were half-siblings, but he was still her brother. Until that moment, Gloria was unable to forget being kicked by her brother and landing a few meters away. After Gloria was kicked that time, she was bedridden at home for a very long time and was vomiting blood ever

Both Gloria and Sabrina came to Old Master Shaw's bedside."Gloria, I'll…I'll first…speak to Sabrina."Gloria nodded. "Alright."Gloria and Sabrina were both indifferent toward the bunch of people crying behind them. Sometimes, both the mother and daughter duo would silently think to themselves, were they being too heartless? So what if they were too heartless or what if they were not heartless? They could not be forcing themselves to pretend to be sad while they really did not want to cry or were not truly sad, right? It was just that both the mother and daughter duo felt slightly awkward being among the entire family who was so saddened.Sabrina awkwardly came to Old Master Shaw. "Old Master Shaw, if there's anything that you need me to do, you may just let me know. As long as it's something that I could do, I will do it."That was the only comfort Sabrina was able to give to the old man. If she were asked to kneel before his bed and say something like, 'Grandpa, I feel very sor

Gloria, who was behind Sabrina, even cried. Originally, she did not cry a single tear at all. However, when she heard her father regretting how he treated her mother, Gloria cried. She was not crying for her father. Instead, she was crying for her mother who had died with resentment. No matter how sincere a person's repentance was, no matter how much the person regretted it, a young and vibrant life would never be able to be repeated."But these…." The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more hoarse. His voice was so hoarse that Sabrina could not even bear to listen to him anymore."Just…take a rest. My mother and I no longer blame you anymore. It's true. Just take a rest. Don't have too much of a burden on your mind. Your health has been great and you don't have any serious illness. You certainly are able to live to a hundred years old. There are many centenarians in this world. A female writer even lived till she was one hundred and twelve years old. You're still

The voice had stunned everyone present. Gloria and Sabrina were no exceptions. The man who entered looked similar to Marcus, but he seemed to be about eight years older than Marcus at a glance."Keegan?" Marcus called out in surprise. "Weren't your flight delayed? I thought you would be arriving in the afternoon. How come you're home so soon? You should have called me when you arrived at the airport so I could go pick you guys up."The last time Marcus' eldest brother returned to South City was five years ago. Five years had gone by in a blink of an eye. Time really flies. It is unexpected that their grandfather was on his deathbed when Marcus met his brother again. Marcus could not help but feel emotional. He did not notice the anger on his brother's face at all, so he excitedly came to his brother's side. "Keegan, you're truly here just in time. Grandpa…will be leaving us very soon. It's fortunate that you still get to see him one last time before he passes. This is truly great, Ke
Chapter 2335
Old Master Shaw's eldest grandson, Keegan Shaw, completely ignored his younger brother who was greeting him. He did not even see the excitement and joy on his brother's face. Keegan simply came to Old Master Shaw with big strides. He did not even glance at Sabrina and Gloria, and he just said to Old Master Shaw, who was on the bed, "Grandpa, it's fortunate that I have gotten here in time, so you are not tricked. How could you make such a decision so rashly? You have already forgotten that you have been tricked twice! Grandpa, you're too soft-hearted!"Old Master Shaw was speechless. His jaw was agape and he was very weak.It was at that moment that Keegan saw Gloria and Sabrina. "Ladies, please step out for a moment. This is my family's matter. Outsiders are not allowed to be involved."In fact, Keegan had met Gloria and Sabrina once. It was five years ago. Keegan had returned from abroad, so Old Master Shaw was very happy. He even especially asked Marcus to beg Gloria and Sabrina's
Chapter 2336
When Sabrina heard Keegan saying that, she got so angry that she laughed. Keegan was the one who drove her and her mother away. He was the one who called them outsiders and said that he wanted to have a discussion with his family. Her mother was just going along with what he said, and he attacked her mother like that?"Keegan, how can you be so rude?" Sabrina said calmly. With her upbringing and her character, which has always been calm, Sabrina was very capable of keeping her composure. However, keeping her composure did not mean that she would just put up with anything."Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Keegan immediately attacked Sabrina angrily and he absolutely was not going to give in. "This family had already been through so much because of the two of you. The more unjustified your status, the lesser right you have to speak. Yet, you are so troublesome! With me around, I will not let you create any trouble!"Sabrina was speechless. She
