"What are you trying to boast about, Ruth? Are you boasting about your integrity or your disdainfulness? Do you know if you boast like that, you're just gambling with your sons' lives? Bullshit, Ryan Poole! Since when have I gambled with my sons' lives? I admit that my sons are not living as comfortably as they did when they lived with the Poole family when they were with me. However, I've given them everything that I could give! No matter how willful and how unreasonable I am, I will never let my sons suffer no matter what! Ryan Poole, you've gone overboard!" Ruth actually cried because of what Ryan had said about her.When she heard what Ryan had said, she was actually reflecting on herself.Ryan was right. She was indeed a little self-centered. She never took the big picture into consideration, and she had always felt like she was making compromises for the greater good.However, Ryan said that she had mistreated her sons and had been gambling with their lives. That was an absolu
Ryan was so angry that he immediately shook off Ruth's hands."Also, the license of the daycare center that you had sent the children to was incomplete, but you just went with them because they are cheap! You were just thinking that they were cheap! Did you know why that center had dismissed two people? It was because those two people had priors for being hot-tempered in the local kindergarten. They more or less did not treat the children well. They were unable to find jobs in their hometowns! It's not to say that they had abused the children. The main thing was that their lives had never been smooth sailing, which led to them losing their temper and having mood swings very easily. Have you investigated their backgrounds when you handed your children to them? It's reasonable to say that a person's misfortune in his or her family and the mishaps in all aspects are not enough to prove anything. It would be fine as long as the person knew how to keep themselves in control and how to love
"Therefore, Hana exhausted all the ways to take care of my parents. To be honest, my parents didn't like Hana, at first. After all, this was her second marriage and she is older than me. However, after Hana had worked hard for so many years, they now love her more than they love me and my younger sister. That was what she had gotten in exchange for true affection. We're all a family. Nobody is more superior than the other, and nobody is more inferior than the other as well. The most important thing is to tolerate each other, get along with each other, and love and protect one another. Only that can maintain a good relationship in a family."Ruth looked at Zayn with tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Zayn. I know that you're…lecturing me out of the kindness of your heart.""Ruth, you have to restrain that temper of yours," Sabrina advised her.Ruth bit her lips and hung her head.Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Ryan said with disappointment, "Ruth, have you t
Sabrina's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Yvonne. Where are you, Yvonne? Which number are you using to call me?"When Marcus, who was next to Sabrina, heard her calling Yvonne's name, he immediately got up, snatched the phone away from Sabrina's hand, and shouted at the phone, "Yvonne, where are you? Yvonne, I am your husband—"The call was disconnected from the other end of the line at that instant."Yvonne! Yvonne!" Marcus shouted.What he heard coming from the other end of the line was the busy tone that made him feel extremely hopeless.Sabrina looked at him while feeling heartbroken. "Marcus, you…shouldn't have been so impatient just now. How great of a chance it was for Yvonne to call me."Marcus burst out in tears. "It's all me. It's all my fault…."He sobbed. He was such an unyielding and tough man, but he was crying his heart out in front of everyone. Sabrina, Jane, Ruth, Hana, Minerva, and Isadora, who were all next to him, could not help but cry along with him as well
Sabrina, who was sitting at the side, said to everyone. "Alright. Enough with thanking each other. We've been through too many things recently. Everything is over now. Yvonne is not present now, but it's good news that she is still alive. Everyone living in this world will encounter plenty of imperfections. Therefore, since it's so difficult for all of us to be gathered here today, let's not think about other things anymore. It's a happy occasion that we've reunited here today.""Yes, it's a happy occasion!" Marcus was the first to shout out.Nobody knew how miserable he was feeling in his heart. However, he was also feeling happy. That was because Yvonne did not die. As long as Yvonne was still alive, that would be the hopeful thing that could make him feel the happiest.After that gathering, everybody returned to their respective peaceful lives.Ruth and Ryan had already made up with each other. Both of them had grown quite a bit through this incident. They had apologized to each
Sebastian sighed. "I didn't think so in the past. I would never have thought about all these as well. I only knew to focus on fighting for more riches and power. As long as someone offended me, I would certainly punish the person. I had never thought twice about it. If I were to look around, nobody in my surroundings could be my match. However, things are different now. I have three children now. I have you as well. These are people I care about and also my concerns, which is also the most tender part of me. Not only do I have the four of you, but I also have all these relatives now. Sabrina, you may never be able to imagine it, but a heartless man like me who did not care about family relationships at all would actually care for these relatives as well."Thinking of that, Sebastian suddenly smiled gently."Take Minerva, for example. She and I are not related by blood, but when I heard that she was abducted, I wanted to kill someone. There's Zayn and his child as well. Also, there's
Kingston was speechless. He was absolutely stunned."Do you know your own age?" Kingston asked her coldly and angrily."I…I am thirty-four this year.""You're already thirty-four!" Kingston smiled. "You're already thirty-four, yet you are still thinking of marrying Master Sebastian. It looks like your condition is quite severe. It's not wrong at all to put you here for treatment.""No, no, no! No! Kingston, listen to me, Kingston. I am one that best suits your Master Sebastian. His stepmother is my aunt. What a good match we are with our status? What about that Sabrina? She is so unfashionable and is a criminal. How could she be a worthy match for my Sebastian? Also, Selene is an impostor! I've known that she is an impostor for a very long time. With her cheap quality, she is even more unworthy to be with my Sebastian. I am the only one! More than a hundred years ago, my family, the Quinton family, were like royalties and had a huge business. I am also not a weak woman as well. Onc
Sebastian made a decision. He did not recover or expand the Ford Group's business. Instead, he kept the majority of its business under the Aino Group.At that moment, other than Eldon and Marcus, nobody knew who was the boss of the Aino group. Therefore, he would just continue keeping his identity a secret.In the future, the Ford Group would slowly wither away."Send my word out and just say that the Ford Group is no longer the same as before," Sebastian told his subordinates.All of his subordinates sitting in the conference room understood what Sebastian was feeling at that moment."Mister Ford, why?" one of Sebastian's men who had fought alongside him for more than twenty years asked him straightforwardly.Sebastian smiled gently and shook his head. "I'm tired. I don't wish to bring trouble to myself anymore. I'll just take it as letting my children have a peaceful life. I have all the power now, but there are still people who will challenge me from time to time. I've figured
