On the other end of the line, Ruth picked up the call very quickly. “Hello, Sabrina. Where are you?”Sabrina smiled. “I’m at home. How are you? Where are you?”Ruth glanced at Ryan next to her then suddenly she blushed a little. “I have no place to go, so I’ve been living here at Ryan’s place now. Sabrina, I…have something that I want to ask for your opinion about.”“What opinion?” Sabrina asked curiously.“My… My parents…”“Absolutely never forgive them! Not sending them into prison is already the greatest generosity to them!” said Sabrina immediately.Ruth said, “Okay, I understand, Sabrina! I will chase them out of here now!”Sabrina asked, “What? Your parents, they…”“They are at the door of Ryan’s mansion,” Mindy said with incomparable sadness. “They have raised me for more than twenty years, and I’ve never seen them care for me at all. However, now, for the sake of my cousin, they actually came to the outside of Ryan’s mansion to beg me. Sabrina, I will chase them away fi
Mr. and Mrs. Mann turned their heads around and saw Marcus, who had a serious expression, standing behind them.Mrs. Mann immediately rushed up to him. “Master Shaw! You’re here, Master Shaw. You’ve always loved Mindy dearly. You can’t just watch Mindy be in trouble and not save her, right? You see, as Mindy’s uncle and aunt, we also feel sorry for Mindy. You are her true cousin…”Marcus broke free from Mrs. Mann. “You dote on your niece very much.”Mrs Mann said, “Yes, Mindy has had no parents since she was young, so as her aunt and uncle, we would naturally dote on her.”“And you are very kind-hearted?” asked Marcus again.Mrs. Mann nodded her head like a chicken pecking on seeds. “We are tender-hearted and kind-hearted people…”At this point, Mrs. Mann was also truly reluctant to admit her mistakes, but she indeed has no other way out. Mindy was in the hands of the shady hotel’s lady boss who they owe more than 100,000 USD. The sooner Mrs. Mann could rescue Mindy out of there,
“Dad...” Ruth called out behind him in an incomparably forlorn manner.“…” Mr. Mann stopped in his tracks, but he did not look back.He was too ashamed to face Ruth. He was even more ashamed to face his own late brother and sister-in-law.“Dad, you and your late brother are true biological brothers, right? I would like to know how you slept every night for more than twenty years? Aren't you afraid of karma or retribution?" When Ruth asked this, she had tears streaming down her face. After asking that, Ruth laughed by herself again. “Oh yes! You have already received your retribution, haven’t you?“Mindy Mann, your most beloved niece!“She should be suffering as if going through purgatory on Earth now, right?”When he heard this, Mr. Mann’s tears poured down his face. It so happened that, at this moment, his phone rang. Mr. Mann answered the call with his trembling hands. “Hello…”“Dad…Daddy, come save me quickly. I’m dying, Dad. They beat me, stripped me naked, and got mor
“What else do I know?” Ruth sneered and asked, “What other things have you and your parents, and I mean your biological parents, been hiding from me?”On the other end, Mindy said, “You… As long as you come to save me, I’ll tell you. I’ll definitely tell you.”“Alright! I will come to save you!” Ruth agreed. After she hung up the phone, Ruth looked at Marcus with a mixed expression. “I truly never expected things to be like this. I… My parents turned out to be…”“There is a good chance that you are my real cousin, and Mindy was just impersonating you," Marcus interrupted Ruth’s words and said.At this moment, Ryan, who was at the side, was surprised. “Hey! That’s just right! Marcus, our relationship will be even closer from now on.”Marcus called out warmly, “Ruth…”However, Ruth had not even the slightest hint of happiness on her face. She was unable to adapt to this sudden change.Especially with the fact that her birth parents had died. She suddenly felt that the world
Ruth only smiled with her lips pursed, but she did not respond further. The car soon drove to the outside of that shady hotel. It was the same early morning and the same place. This time, it was Ruth who saw Mindy’s pants lying in the rubbish bin outside of the small facade.Ruth did not sympathize with Mindy at all.After they had gotten out of the car, Ruth walked down with both Ryan and Marcus.At this time, the lady boss came over just in time. When she saw Ruth, the lady was startled. “Miss Mann…You… You all have personally come to my humble home.”It looked like the tables had turned. Just within three days, this girl before her eyes has gone from being a prisoner to a proper queen.Ruth did not even glance at that woman; she only asked, “Where’s Mindy?”“She is in... inside… Well, Miss Mann, I’m just asking. Are you… here to rescue her?” asked the woman with a long face.Ruth sneered, “What do you think?”The woman instantly said with a pleading tone, “Miss Mann,
Under the dim light, Mindy was lying on the bed with nothing on, and she was surrounded by no less than a dozen men who were holding her down.There was a line outside the room.They all looked like the kind men who were construction site laborers, and all of them were incomparably rough.Ruth gasped in shock when she saw the scene. This was drastically worse from the treatment she received three days ago. “Help… I beg of you all! Help me!” At this moment, Mindy has no dignity at all. Even if Marcus scolded her for being shameless just now and hated her to the bones, at this moment when he saw her, he could not help but feel compassionate toward her. “I, Marcus Shaw from South City’s Shaw family, am here. I’ll see if anyone still dares to touch her! Even if it is your entire construction site, I will destroy it, let alone you guys,” Marcus suddenly shouted angrily. When those men heard Marcus shouting like this, they all ran away in fear.Someone said, “I… I have already pa
“I know how to pay you back,” Ruth suddenly spoke up.“Go ahead, Miss Mann.” The lady boss was still very polite to Ruth. “The Mann family still has a fully detached house with its own courtyard in the countryside, and I think it should be worth two million no matter what. According to what Mindy’s parents once said, that small detached house was a property that originally belonged to Mindy, so you just need to take back that house of hers now and sell it for two million. That would be enough money to repay you, your interest, and also payment for the person whose head was smashed by me. It would be enough for all.”"Are you telling the truth?" the woman asked.“Absolutely the truth!”Mindy also asked Ruth in shock, "How do you know?"Mindy smiled contemptuously. "You don't know, do you? That's the difference between you not having a mom and dad. Although my parents are your real parents, I also enjoyed twenty years of fatherly and motherly love. They once told me about it when
Mr. Mann said with a long face, “The cause of your parents' death, your cousin Marcus also knew about it. They died because of a plane crash."Behind her, Marcus nodded and said, “Ruth, your parents’ death was indeed due to a plane crash.”“Then… Why did you want to swap our identities?" Ruth questioned.When she said that, she was already in tears. Actually, with her current state of mind, she did not even care about the Shaw family's glory and wealth, but she was just too disappointed about what her uncle and aunt had done.Seeing Ruth cry, her uncle had a guilty expression on his face. He touched Ruth’s shoulder and recounted the story from the beginning. Ruth’s biological father, Ronan Mann, and Mindy’s biological father, Anson Mann, were a pair of twin brothers, but the brothers had led different paths since young. Ronan had great academic achievements from a young age. When he was obtaining his postgraduate doctoral degree, he met his wife, Marcus’ aunt, who has the s
