“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

Moreover, when the two elderly in the family knew that their most valued eldest son and daughter-in-law who made them proud were involved in the plane crash, the couple, who was over 70 years old, suddenly died of heart disease due to heartache and anxiety.In a flash, the Mann family, which originally had eight family members across three generations, were left with only four members in an instant. Among them, there was also a seven-month-old baby who had lost her parents and grandparents. At that time, the Shaw family was still in Kidon City, and Marcus’ parents were also abroad. Therefore, the seven-month-old baby was temporarily taken care of by her aunt and uncle. However, at that time, it had just been a month since Anson’s wife had given birth to her child, and she had insufficient breast milk. Due to her selfishness, she could only feed her child first. After her child was well-fed, the remaining would be fed to the seven-month-old baby.As a result, when Ruth was one a

“Haha!” Hearing that, Ruth suddenly burst out laughing wildly. After laughing, Ruth said sarcastically, “Should I call you Dad and Mom now, or call you Uncle and Aunt, or even call you enemies?"Mr. Mann stuttered, “Ruth, we…We have also loved you before.”“Loved me?” Ruth asked rhetorically. “Was it out of love for me that you instilled in me from childhood that I was a maid and your real daughter, Mindy, was the queen?“Or telling me since young that I was Mindy’s hatchet man, and it did not matter if what she did was right or wrong, I had to spearhead the attack for her?“If you loved me, would you let me have all of Mindy’s hand-me-downs?“Also, it was only the ones she thought were ugly that were given to me to wear.“If you loved me, why didn’t you guys provide for me to go to school? Instead, you allowed me to grow wild like a shrew?“Are these your ways of loving me?"Mr. Mann said in embarrassment, “Ruth, your academic performance had been poor since young…”“My aca

”Isn’t it?“I'm asking you, isn’t it!"At this point, Ruth finally could not be calmed down anymore, as her emotions were close to breaking down. If Ryan did not hold her tightly in his arms, Ruth would have collapsed to the ground from crying. Her parents!The mom and dad that she had been calling for twenty years… How could she stand it emotionally?How could this be endured?How could she let go of it?However, could she not let go?In the past twenty years, everything they did to her was hurting her, and the harm was boundless. The reason she was still alive now was that she met Sabrina.It was Sabrina who saved her soul, made her realize her own shortcomings, and helped her have a new way of living.Otherwise, she, Ruth Mann, would have already been dead.Also, it definitely would have been an incomparably dirty death.She had cried and laughed, and Ruth had already made a decision in her heart. She said calmly, “From today onward, I, Ruth Mann, am through with you.

Mindy was confused. Marcus also looked at Ryan. To be honest, although Marcus was also angry at Mindy and Mindy’s parents for lying to his family for so many years, once he thought that Mindy had lived with the Shaw family for twenty years and that they were indeed as close as cousins, Marcus agreed with Ruth’s way in his heart. Also, indeed a man was judged by the company he kept.Ruth and Sabrina had been hanging out together daily, so she has been subtly influenced by Sabrina. At this moment, Marcus admired his cousin, Ruth, very much, and his real cousin was much more broad-minded than Mindy. However, he did not expect it. Why would Ryan suddenly want to report to Sebastian?Ryan had already dialed Sebastian’s number. Sebastian was preparing to go to the conference room for a meeting. Recently, he had been in the thick of the preparations to conquer Star Island, so every morning he had a regular meeting with his most trusted subordinates. Rather than saying it was a r

Sebastian’s tone was incomparably calm. “Because of Ruth. She and Sabrina are the same. They are both softhearted. That is her cousin, and also her parents have raised her for so long. It’s very normal for her to have an entanglement of love, hate, and all the other states of mind in her heart.”Ryan was speechless.This was the first time in Ryan’s life that he found his Uncle Sebastian to be so smart. He could see everything through everything so thoroughly with just a glance. He truly was the most powerful director of the Ford family. “Uncle Sebastian, well… Could you spare Mindy once more this time for my sake…” Ryan said with embarrassment.“You brat.” Sebastian’s tone remained flat. It was not a big deal.However, he still said, “You brat, you better keep a close eye on her. If anything were to happen in the future, I’ll directly put it on your tab.”“Yes! Thank you, Uncle Sebastian!” Ryan could hear from Sebastian’s tone that he had agreed.After he hung up the call,

The person who came in was Sebastian.Sebastian, who always had a calm expression, has a somber expression at the moment instead. It was as if he had carried an iceberg with him. The originally happy atmosphere instantly became reserved. There were even a few people who simply stood up when they saw Sebastian. There was pin-drop silence in the room. Sabrina said, “Sebastian, why are you here?”She was originally very happy as well. She had loved music since her childhood. However, no one had given her the opportunity to sing, especially after she came to Lincoln’s house. All her love for singing and hobby of playing the piano were all put to a halt by Lincoln. The Lynn family did have a piano, but it was just for decoration. From time to time, Selene would play a piece, but Sabrina felt that the sound of Selene’s piano playing was no different from smashing broken pots together. On the other hand, Sabrina’s great talents were forcibly buried. Today, when her colleag
