Ch. 2221..2230
Chapter 2221 Ruth had to rise like a phoenix from the ashes!
"Sabrina, it's not really easy to be married into a rich family. 1 had already thought about it very seriously. Rather than being married into a rich family, I should make myself rich instead. I know it's not easy to become rich. However, Sabrina, I can support myself, let myself become stronger, and let myself be incredibly distinguished! That is what it meant to be a person of nobility in temperament and manner! I just don't believe that I can't raise my two children by myself! I must give my children a good life and a good environment!"
Sabrina looked at Ruth through the rearview mirror. "Ruth, what the hell happened? Did Ryan have an affair? Or did your mother- in -law give you a hard time?"
Ruth smiled miserably. "Sabrina, do you know what it's like to be facing such a mother-in-law who kept nagging about everything all day long in front of both Ryan and me. Maybe Ryan wouldn't believe me if I only told him about once or twice. But what if it happened ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times? He only had to believe me once in a hundred times or ten times in a thousand times. I am taking care of the children by myself. Ryan questioning me ten times was enough for our marriage to disintegrate.
"We're not equal in this marriage, to begin with. I had already done what I had to do. I'm worse than a maid in the Poole family.
Sometimes, the maids would even look at me with disdain. Sabrina, Гт not being sensitive. I am not a sensitive person. Instead, I am a careless person, but I can still sense the way others look at me with prejudice. Nevertheless, Ryan is not Alex. He can't be as strong as Alex, and he also can't be as arrogant and overbearing as Alex. Alex is able to protect Jane very well, so nobody dared to say a single thing about her at all. However, Ryan can't.
"Ryan is still in the palm of his parents. As a daughter-in-law, I can't make Ryan abandon his parents. It's not easy for everyone to raise their child. I myself am a mother of two. How could I ask Ryan to stay away from his family? I can't say that. Therefore, I can only take my children with me and leave. I want to be independent. From now on, I will be invincible. I will be the father and also the mother. I will be a supermom!"
After she said that, Sabrina suddenly realized that Ruth had completely changed, she became calm and composed, as well as miserable, she became more mature than ever. Sabrina sighed lightly before she said, "Ruth, I understand everything you just said. I understand but don't be too emotional about this. If you need any help, just let me know. How about this? Don't go to you and Ryan's mansion. Come with me to my mother's house. Her house is very quiet, to begin with, and she's usually staying there by herself, so it's very spacious. If you guys move in, then my mom will not be that lonely anymore. Also, she can help you take care of the two children. Do you think that's alright?"
Ruth originally did not want to cry, but after she heard what Sabrina had said, her tears still could not help but stream down her cheeks. "Sabrina, you are the person in this world who is the nicest to me. Nobody else is this nice to me."
"Don't cry. Don't cry in front of your children. Be good!" Sabrina said.
Ruth immediately nodded. "Mm-hmm!"
The car drove on. As Sabrina was thinking about her mother's matters, she did not ask Ruth anything any further. She was thinking of giving Ryan a call after she had resolved her mother's matters. While thinking of that, she arrived outside of her mother's house very quickly.
Before she stopped her car completely, Sabrina saw the man who was in the picture that Sebastian had sent to her. That man was standing outside her mother's door while holding a bouquet.
Chapter 2222 "Gloria, Gloria, open the door for me. My legs are all sore from standing right outside of your door." That man was speaking with an extremely fawning voice, which made people feel very disgusted when they heard it.
"Wh-what the hell is this? what the hell is this man doing? He is so flirty! This is going to ruin Madam Gloria's reputation! Gosh! I'll go and chase this shameless thing away immediately!" Ruth, who was sitting in the car, was so angry that he wanted to tear that man apart immediately. However, Ruth saw that Sabrina surprisingly did not move at all.
"Sabrina, what is the matter? What's going on?"
Sabrina smiled gloomily. "I am here to see my mom for this matter today. I already knew about this man two days ago."
"Then why don't you just fight this son of a bitch! Isn't he insulting Madam Gloria now! Sabrina, I know that you're angry, and I know that you never lay your hand on anyone! I will go on your behalf! I am not Ruth Mann if I don't tear this man into pieces today!"
Ruth was still a shrew, after all. she had to think of how to play by the rules, be well-mannered, and restrained herself every minute of her life while she was living with such a big and noble family like the Poole family. As a result, the more she restrained herself, the more mistakes she made and the more embarrassed she got. In the end, Ruth became so nervous that she kept making mistakes at every turn. 1 However, at that moment, she had returned to her hometown and she was back at the place where she was born and raised.
After she had broken away from the Poole family, she became her original self again. It was Ruth's nature to be cursing and arguing fiercely with her hands on her waist, she simply was such a shrewish woman who was vulgar beyond measure! At that moment, Ruth felt incomparably happy.
Sabrina, however, held Ruth's hand. "Ruth, I know that you're doing this for my mother's own good, but...my mother had been a widow for a very long time. She is only in her fifties this year. She also has the right to enjoy being in love. If this man has a good background and he is serious about my mother, why should I stop her?"
Ruth was speechless.
After a while, she said emotionally, "That's right. It's really not easy being a woman. Take you as an example. How much hardship had you endured in this life? You married Sebastian, but you're still independent. You had never depended on your husband. I know the pain you have in your heart. I know that as women, we can never rely on anybody forever. We have to rely on ourselves. Only then will we be the most charming. That is also one of the reasons Sebastian likes and loves you. Sabrina, you're right. We, women, have to fight for ourselves. We have to fight for our own happiness and dignity. We should have the right to be in love no matter when. We can't have anything less! Madam Gloria also has had it rough her whole life. She was never loved by her father since childhood. She finally got married, but your damned father was a total son of a bitch. She had married Mister Scott later on, but he died way too early. She is now left all alone, and she still had a very long life ahead of her. A kind person like Madam Gloria should at least be able to live until a hundred years old. she still has fifty years ahead of her. Of course, she has to find a partner."
While saying that, Ruth's anger had subsided. Even though she still could not stand the man in front of her who looked extremely like a gigolo and was holding a bouquet, Ruth did not say anything anymore.
"I know that his man's identity is still unclear, and I don't know what he is playing at, but before I ask my mom what is she truly thinking, I can't act rashly. I'm afraid that I will hurt my mom. she truly has had it rough her whole life," Sabrina said.
Sabrina's tone was somewhat helpless, she felt sorry for her mother, but she also did not want anything bad to happen to her.
Ruth held Sabrina's hand. "I know. I know that, Sabrina. Let's wait and see what happens. I was too impulsive just now. Let's first observe secretly for now."
Sabrina nodded. The both of them then observed the man standing in front of Gloria's door in the car. The man sounded very eager.
Chapter 2223 One of the neighbors who was passing by smirked. "Hey, pretty boy, here for Madam Gloria again? why is she still not letting you in her house?"
The man who was holding the flowers immediately smiled. "Yes. Gloria is an honorable woman. All honorable women are hard to pursue. I know that. I have patience and I am sincere. I am serious about Gloria. I am willing to wait for her."
"How old are you?" someone asked the man.
"I am forty-two this year," answered the man. "Do I look very old? It A neighbor smiled. "No. You don't look like you're forty-two at all. Instead, you look like you're about thirty-seven years old."
The man laughed with embarrassment. "Haha. Thank you. Thank you."
All the neighbors snickered and left.
"Sabrina, I truly think that this man is a kept man who deliberately flirts with women. There's even a possibility that he is a scammer." Ruth has always been very blunt with her words. After she said that, she suddenly felt that she had said something wrong." Sabrina, I-I don't mean it like that. How could Madam Gloria be scammed? Look at this foul mouth of mine."
Ruth truly felt that she should not have said what she had said. Gloria cared for Ruth very much like she was her biological mother. When Ruth married into the Poole family, Gloria even gave her a lucrative wedding gift.
"I know Madam Gloria. She is not the kind of person who is easily cheated. Don't worry, Sabrina. Don't worry," Ruth said.
Sabrina shook her head. "Ruth, what you said made sense as well. I also suspect that this man is a scammer, and he is trying to scam my mom. In fact, these people belong to an organization, and the series of tactics that they used are very well-thought-out as well. Many women, especially those wealthy ladies who are very lonely and are always by themselves, are their targets. These kinds of people are very despicable. However, the more likely this is the case, the more we can't act rashly. Anyway, we are already aware of him now, so we have to watch his every move at all times.
As long as he dared to lay his hand on my mother—"
Before Sabrina finished her sentence, Ruth cut her off. "As long as he dared to lay his hand on Madam Gloria, I will have this son of a bitch killed!"
"Ruth!" Sabrina scolded her. "You have to watch your language in front of the children."
Ruth smiled. "I know."
While the two of them were talking, they saw Gloria not far ahead of them and was walking over with a basket in her hand.
"James Dunn, what are you doing? You're here at my door every day. Aren't you afraid of being a laughing stock?"
Gloria said while smiling. She did not sound at all like she was blaming the man who gave her the flowers.
"Gloria..." The man named James immediately turned around and smiled at Gloria. "Gloria, look, this bouquet of roses is all hand- picked by myself. Red ones, yellow ones, and blue ones. There are all kinds of them in there and they are all fresh. I know you love flowers the most. I also know that of all the flowers, you love roses the most. I know that you are a romantic person. Gloria, if you like, I'll send you flowers on time every day. But, Gloria, no matter how pretty these roses are, they still look pale in comparison to your elegant and mature temperament."
The man kept calling her name endearingly. Every word that he said was indeed sweet nothings in order to flatter women. Sabrina could not help but frown when she heard them. However, Gloria beamed brighter and brighter. "You're so good with your words!"
Sabrina was speechless. At that moment, she was so angry that she wanted to get out of the car and pushed her mother into the yard. However, before she made a move, three women rushed out from the side and had Gloria surrounded.
"Wow! I didn't expect an old woman like you to be doing such a thing!" Ashnah raised her eyebrows and mocked Gloria.
Chapter 2224 Sabrian and Ruth were both stunned in the car. Both of them were unable to wrap their heads around why the three Payne sisters would appear outside Sabrina's mother’s house? Sabrina and Ruth looked at each other.
Gloria, who was outside of the door to her yard, was also slightly surprised. However, Gloria did not even immediately recall who those three women before her were, "who are you three?"
"It's not been that long yet, but you already don't recognize us!" Chloe said sarcastically. After saying that, she sized up the man who was holding a big bunch of flowers.
The man smiled even brighter than before. "Here's an elegant lady, miss?"
Without waiting for Chloe to answer, Gloria grabbed the man by his arm. "James! You can't be flirting with others when you already are going after somebody! I'm telling you now! I'm someone who will get jealous!"
Gloria has made it very clear with her remark earlier that she was very fond of the man named James Dunn.
James looked at the glamorous Chloe, and then he looked at the elegant and simple Gloria. He immediately smiled and called out, " Gloria..."
Gloria immediately opened the door and scolded James. "Get in the house!"
James glanced at Chloe as he was reluctant to leave her. After that, he smiled. "Alright, alright, Gloria. This is the first time you've let me into your house. Your yard has plenty of flowers and you made it like heaven on earth. I had long wanted to come in and have a seat. It's my pleasure. It's my pleasure. I'll head inside now."
While saying that, James went inside. 1 Gloria slammed the door shut before glaring at Chloe. "I remembered who you are now. I have seen the three of you at Doctor Payne's house that day. You are the three rich ladies who came barging into Doctor Payne's house!"
"Haha!" Chloe laughed hysterically. "You even knew that we are rich ladies"
Gloria sneered. "I can tell from the way you dress."
"You have a good eye to know that you're rich ladies! Woman, listen carefully, We are from a small county, but our family has a huge business! We were born with a silver spoon in our mouths! Also, our brother is an elite in the medical field who had returned from abroad! There's no other doctor in South City that is so young and so brilliant! All of you want to get something from my brother, don't you? Let me tell you this! My brother is soft hearted, but the Payne family is not easy to mess with! You're just a bunch of poor people who are trying to cheat him!" Ashnah said disdainfully.
Poor? Sabrina and Ruth both looked at each other. Ten years ago, Sabrina's mother was indeed very poor. It was because she had once been very poor that she had always been very frugal when it came to clothing, she had never worn any extravagant clothes. As long as the clothes she wore were suitable, then she would be satisfied. However, even though she did not like to be dressed extravagantly, her clothes were very decent. Not only that, she was a very cultured person. She was proficient in arts and music. She was also dancing quite well at that moment. It was just that she had never been a person who liked to show off and she had been living a very low-profile life. However, she was unexpectedly described as poor by the Payne sisters.
That was great as well. The more the Payne family was ignorant about their identity, the more they were able to drive the Payne family out and never let them harass vireo again!
Chapter 2225 "So, what if I am poor?" Gloria said calmly.
"You shameless old woman! You're so old that your teeth have all fallen out, yet you still have a boyfriend? Are you not ashamed?" In fact, Chloe was also a woman in her forties. It was just that she was a few years younger than Gloria and she was more extravagantly dressed than Gloria, so she scolded Gloria recklessly.
"Don't think that we don't know anything just because we're from a small county! Let me tell you something, you old woman. Even though you're from a big city like South city and I'm just from a small county, in comparison to me, you're extremely unfashionable! I have long been tired of the game that you're playing! I'm talking about the terrible show that you're putting up together with that man whom you had just pushed in!
"You’re staying in this house while pretending to be elegant and classy. After that, you got yourself a gigolo from one of those unmentionable bullshit clubhouses located at some random corner to play along with you! This man seemed like a fine gentleman in a suit at a glance and is courting you with roses but in reality? Pfft! It's all a lie. You're putting up an act to cheat money from others. If I had guessed it right, this house of yours should be on rental, right? You're using this house that you had rented and also your boyfriend whom you had pushed inside to cheat the money of many rich people, right?"
Chloe felt justified when she said that. Gloria, however, was calm when she heard that. "Miss Payne, may I know if you have actual dirt on me proving that I am cheating other people?"
"To be honest with you, we came here tailing a woman. I saw that woman at my brother's house as well. I think all of you are in cahoots. That woman is sitting inside a car nearby. Until now, she was still afraid of showing her face. What does that mean? That means that the women, you, and also the man you had pushed in are working in cahoots. All of you are from the same penniless criminal gang. Below the surface, you guys tricked some young and old ladies to join your gang and cheat others together. Then, on the surface, all of you band together to cheat soft-hearted men like my brother who had status and money. What a pity! Your deception is terrible! Also, you're already a bunch of old women, yet you're still wishfully thinking of cheating a young man for his money. Haha! You guys are really funny! Hilarious!
Grandma, that accomplice of yours doesn't dare to come out, doesn't she? You're dead, grandma!" Chloe said confidently.
Chloe kept calling Gloria a grandma, she was certain that Gloria, Sabrina, and also the man whom Gloria had pushed in were from a criminal gang that specialized in cheating people out of money. 1 Suddenly, a cold voice behind Chloe could be heard saying, "Really? II The three sisters turned their heads around to have a look. If the women standing behind them were not the woman who fought with them at the hospital and also the woman in coveralls, then who could they be?
Sabrina slowly walked to the front of the three sisters, and then she asked calmly, "Miss Payne, didn't you say that I didn't dare to show up? I am here now."
"It's you! You're the one! You're in cahoots with this old woman and that man she pushed inside. You're all in cahoots.
You're putting up an act to cover the fact that you're cheating people out of their money!" Ashnah immediately exclaimed.
The reason why the Payne sisters were so certain was that they could tell the man in his thirties with the flowers in his hand was a scamming jerk.
Sabrina did not get angry at all after hearing what she said, she just raised an eyebrow. "Very well! Very straightforward! since you think that we're working in cahoots, and we're scammers who are cheating your brother out of money, then why didn't you call the police to deal with this?"
This time, it was Abigail who said, "Do you really think we don't dare to call the police? We have to call the police this time. Don't any of you dare to run away!"
After that, Abigail looked at the group of onlookers who had surrounded them. "Dear neighbors, please help US to subdue this group of scammers. We mustn't let them get away!"
The sisters did not dare to call the police at the hospital earlier on, but they were very confident at that moment! This time, it was Abigail who personally called the police. "Is this the police? We have caught a group of scammers."
Chapter 2226 After she called the police, the Payne sisters looked at Sabrina, Ruth, and also Gloria with absolute certainty. There were also two children by Ruth's side. The children were only three years old.
They knew nothing and they could not distinguish between good and bad. However, when the two of them saw the three women picking on them there, they also felt afraid. One of the children hid in Ruth’s arms while the other hid in Sabrina's arms. When the three sisters saw them acting like that, they felt even more incomparably proud.
"Look at all of you. You could have done something else, but you just had to cheat! You had to cheat! You're a gang of scammers who thought that our brother had no family in South City and he was also a soft-hearted person, so all of you joined forces to cheat him! Well, let me tell you this! We’re not members of the Payne family if we don't let all of you get punished today! Also, I even suspect that these two children by your side were abducted by you. child abduction! That's a capital offense!" Ashnah condemned Sabrina, Ruth, and Gloria in a very righteous tone, she really acted as if the three of them had truly committed capital offenses.
As soon as Ashnah said that, a surprised expression immediately emerged on Abigail's face, she pulled her eldest sister to a corner and started whispering. "Chloe, look at how good-looking those two children are! why don't we..."
"What? Do you want to adopt these two children? You're already forty years old. What's the point of you adopting them? Also, they are two boys. You'll have a heavy burden in the future. Do you have nothing else to do?" The eldest sister, Chloe, asked in confusion.
"Chloe, do you remember the richest real estate developer from our county, Julius Yoder? His wife is the same age as me and she is my classmate. The couple now has a fortune of more than a billion dollars. However, they don't have a child, when we had a gathering at our classmates' house a while ago, I even heard Julius' wife mention that she wanted to adopt a child, and she wanted to adopt more than one child. If they could adopt this pair of twins, then wouldn't they be overjoyed?" Abigail immediately said. 1 Chloe smacked Abigail. "Don't think about this at this juncture. What's it got to do with US if they were to adopt the children or not? What we have to do now is to bring this gang of criminals to justice, so that our brother could clearly see what kind of people he had by his side. Also, we have to let him know that we are his family, so don't he ever think about getting rid of us! Our final goal is to let our children settle down in South City. It would be best if they could go to medical school in South City. This way, our future generations would grow up in South city! Born and bred in South City!
"Our brother is already almost thirty-eight years old, but he still doesn't have a child and his own family. In the future, let's not make him start his own family and have children. Let's just let him take care of our children. Isn't that great? The reason our parents adopted him back then was to let him serve us! Isn't it perfect now? Abigail, let's not care about children and whatnot now. Let's first handle our brother's matters!"
Chloe was going to leave after saying that.
"Chloe!" Abigail stopped Chloe by pulling her. "Chloe, have you forgotten how rich and powerful Julius is in our county? If we send these two children to them and let them adopt them, the reward that they would be giving US to thank US would be in millions if nothing else were to happen! If the three of US split up the reward that is worth millions equally, each of US would get about four hundred thousand dollars. Doesn't that sound great?"
"Abigail, I would have already forgotten about it if you hadn't brought it up. Alright, let's go according to your plan, when the police arrive, we'll have to get praised by the police!" Chloe said.
"Alright, Chloe!" Abigail said with a smile.
Both the sisters came back to where Sabrina, Ruth, and Gloria were standing.
"Just wait for it! The police will be here soon!" Chloe said with a firm tone.
"Alright," Sabrina said.
Chapter 2227 "Are you not afraid?" Chloe asked again.
"I am afraid," Sabrina said.
Chloemocked Sabrina, "oh, so you'll feel afraid too?"
"Of course, who wouldn't be afraid? Are you not afraid?" Sabrina said honestly.
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Chloe smiled. "I didn't commit any crimes!"
There was a pause before she asked Sabrina, "Pulling a group together for illegal activities, committing fraud, leading someone into a trap, as well as child abduction. Do you know what kind of offense you'll be charged with if you were to be punished for all the crimes I mentioned?"
Sabrina shook her head. "I'm not too sure."
Chloe laughed like crazy. "Let me tell you then! All of you might be guilty of capital offense! Capital offense, do you understand?
You're all ignorant of the law, yet you actually could come to a place like South city to cheat. Nevertheless, you guys are truly something. You actually were able to find a person like my brother. It "May I know if I can still make it if I were to run away now?" Sabrina asked.
"Run?" Chloe laughed like a maniac again. "Do you thinkyou'll be able to run away? There're so many onlookers here. Also, didn't you hear that the police sirens were already getting closer? To be honest with you, you had been surrounded by the police for a long time. You just didn't know it! However, I do have a way to let you reduce your charges now. Do you want to hear it?"
Sabrina looked curious, "why don't you tell US?"
"Hand over the two children next to you. When the time comes, we'll plead with the police for you," Chloe stated her purpose.
"Fuckyou!" Ruth immediately got furious.
She picked up both of her children with both her hands and glared at the three sisters. "If any one of you dares to touch my children, I will drink your blood!"
Abigail sneered. "Look at this bunch of tough criminals. They're so tough even in broad daylight! But your days are numbered, anyway. Not only will the police be coming today, but Mister Ford, who is the richest man in South city, and also the director of the largest corporate group in South city, the Ford Group, will also be coming! There's no way you'll be able to escape today!"
As soon as Abigail finished her sentence, the police cars arrived. No one knew why there was such a coincidence, but the police who came were actually the few people who were at the hospital earlier on. At a glance, the few police officers saw that it was the Payne sisters, Sabrina, and Ruth again. It was just that instead of Isadora, who was the one with them at the hospital, Gloria was the one with them at that moment.
A police officer frowned. "What is going on? The two groups you actually fought all the way here from the hospital?"
Ashnah immediately came forward and pointed at Sabrina, Ruth, and Gloria. "They belong to the same criminal gang, when we were still at the hospital, the three of US could not find their lair, so we followed them! We tailed them all the way here and we finally found their lair! There are both men and women in this criminal gang and they work in cahoots. They deliberately set up traps to lure young masters and young ladies from wealthy families, and also successful people. Oh right, they also abduct children along the way!"
One of the police officers looked at Sabrina and Ruth with a serious expression. "You guys?"
"Do you think we look like it?" Sabrina asked.
"Since someone has reported you, you'll have to first come with us! If we find that you're not guilty, then you will be released!"
While saying that, the police were going to escort Sabrina, Ruth, and Gloria into the car.
They did not resist. The result would be the same wherever they handled the matter anyway. That was particularly so for Sabrina.
If she had to go to the police station, the man named James Dunn, who was courting her mother, also had to go with them. That would even save her the trouble.
Just when Sabrina was about to get in the car, an old voice could suddenly be heard coming from somewhere nearby. "Let's see who dares to take my daughter away!"
Chapter 2228 As soon as the old voice was heard, the crowd turned around and looked in its direction. They then saw that a trembling old man with white hair was slowly walking toward the crowd from not far away. The elder man was too old. He looked like he was ninety years old. However, the elderly man had an indescribable dignity to him, which made others could not help but feel afraid of him.
Many people could not help but make way for him to pass through.
Someone with a keen eye immediately recognized him. "old Master Shaw?"
That was right. The elderly man who was walking over slowly was Gloria's father, who was also Sabrina's grandfather, old Master Shaw. When they heard someone mentioning Old Master Shaw, the few police officers also looked in his direction.
Two of the officers came up to him. "Sir, why are you here? At your age, you should be resting at home, why are you out here concerning yourself with this? Tell me, who is your daughter?"
Old Master Shaw gently looked at Gloria. Gloria hung her head and she did not look at old Master Shaw at all. she did not hate him as much as she used to in the previous years, but she also did not love him that much. After all, when she needed her father's love the most, not only did not give any love, but he oppressed and banished her. As a result, she had been envious of others who were loved by their fathers since childhood, as well as growing up feeling inferior. That sense of inferiority had been with her almost all her life and had led to all the miserable consequences later on in her life. If she had not been feeling inferior back then, Gloria never would have married Lincoln. She never would have let herself and her daughter go through half a lifetime of miseries. Therefore, Gloria has forgiven her father, but she never loved him. she also did not want to have too deep of a relationship with him.
Her father and her brother had invited Gloria to live with them many times, she could have been taken care of a little better at their house as they had maids and everything. Also, Gloria would not be stopped from going to dance with her dance group, and there was a grand piano there, which was dedicated to her. However, Gloria did not want to go there. Her brother had been beating her up and cursing her when they were growing up. The worst time was when he directly kicked her out of the door from inside the house. Once Gloria thought of that, she truly never wanted to step through that door anymore in her life.
Among the members of the Shaw family, Gloria was the closest to Marcus. That was because her nephew was innocent, and her nephew was really very nice to her. Therefore, Gloria had only taken Old Master Shaw as a passerby in her life. At that moment, when everyone was eagerly looking at the dignified old Master Shaw, Gloria, and Sabrina, on the other hand, had no reaction at all.
The Payne sisters, however, were best at reading the room. At a glance, they were able to tell that the elderly man in front of them, who was walking over slowly, was no ordinary man. The eldest sister, Chloe, immediately rushed forward and greeted old Master Shaw very politely, "Sir, I'm guessing that you must have quite an extraordinary status in South City, am I right?"
Old Master Shaw looked at Chloe coldly. "How so?"
In fact, Old Master Shaw had already been around for quite some time. It was his grandson, Marcus, who drove him over. The reason why Marcus would drive Old Master Shaw over at that time was that Sabrina had given a call to Marcus. Two hours ago, Sabrina gave Marcus a call from her car after she had left her office. She had asked him if he knew about the recent situation of his aunt, Gloria. Sabrina only wanted to get to know more about that man who was pursuing her mother.
In the end, Marcus immediately became anxious after Sabrina told him about it. "Sabrina, you have to pay more attention to Aunt Gloria. You absolutely can't let her be deceived. The main thing is that Aunt Gloria is too unyielding. Until this day, she is still not willing to move in with US. she is not willing to move in, so we can only visit her more and pay more attention to her. It doesn't matter if she was cheated out of her money. The main thing is that we can't let her have her heartbroken."
Chapter 2229 Sabrina had the same thoughts as Marcus.
Marcus cared about Gloria just as much as Sabrina did. When Sabrina left her office in her car, Marcus was having a meeting at the office. He then rushed through the meeting as he wanted to make a trip to his aunt's house. As soon as he left the office, Marcus received a call from his grandfather.
On the other end of the call, his grandfather told him with a breathy voice, "Marcus, I miss your Aunt Gloria. Can you drive me to secretly take a look at her when she is dancing with her group this weekend?"
Hearing his grandfather saying that, Marcus immediately told him that he would bring him to see Gloria immediately. In fact, the two of them arrived at Gloria's house slightly earlier than Sabrina did. However, as per Old Master Shaw's request, they stopped the car in a hidden corner and never got out of the car. That was because Old Master Shaw did not want to disturb his daughter. He was afraid that his daughter would hate him, so he only looked at her in secret every time he missed her. Marcus was thinking that since his aunt had not returned yet, anyway, so he just sat in the car with his grandfather.
After that, Sabrina arrived. Immediately afterward, Gloria came home while carrying a basket. Later on, the man named James also followed behind her with a grin while holding roses in his hand. At that moment, Marcus was very tempted to get out of the car and break that man's legs. However, Marcus had the same thought as Sabrina. His aunt's life had been too miserable, what if that man truly loved his aunt? Marcus would be supportive of his aunt. As long as his aunt was happy, nothing else mattered. Therefore, Marcus held his grandfather back and both of them remained in the car.
Following that, the Payne sisters arrived. Marcus and old Master Shaw saw the entire process of the Payne sisters being unreasonable. Both of them wanted to see what exactly were the three sisters up to! In any case, the police have been called, so both of them were in no hurry. Also, Marcus had clearly heard everything Chloe and Abigail said in that corner when they were conspiring to take Ruth's children away as they intended to give them to the richest man in their county. Marcus was just laughing in the car at that time. They were just waiting for the police to arrive. It was right at the moment the police arrived that both Marcus and his grandfather finally got out of the car.
At that moment, even if the Payne sisters did not take the initiative to speak to him, Old Master Shaw also intended to question the three of them. He looked at Chloe with a stem gaze, and Chloe felt a little scared in her heart, she had never seen such a dignified elderly man. The elderly man's dignity and might was not faked by him. He truly must be somebody very powerful, otherwise, these few police officers would not be so respectful to him.
The more she thought about it, the more Chloe felt that she had seized an opportunity, she smiled broadly, "sir, I'm guessing that your daughter must have been a victim, right? You must have been secretly tracking them down for a long time, right? Please be rest assured, since my sisters and I have encountered such a matter, we definitely won't let the bad guys go. A few people in this gang are here now, and there's one still being locked up in the yard. All of these onlookers can testify. Sir, don't worry, we'll see that you get your justice."
As soon as Chloe said that, the people in her surroundings immediately laughed. Their laughter made Chloe feel weird.
It was as if the onlookers were laughing at her and her sisters. Chloe could only follow along and laughed awkwardly.
She then looked at the police officer. "Sir, can you testify that we are the ones who called the police?"
The police officer looked at Chloe with no expression. "Yes! It was the three of you who called the police!"
"Great!" Chloe said.
As soon as she said that, she heard old Master Shaw saying, "On what grounds did you call the police to arrest my daughter? Have you got any evidence?
Chloe was instantly stunned. "Wh-what did you say?"
Old Master Shaw sneered. "This so-called criminal that you talked about is my daughter!"
Chapter 2230 Chloe thought that she had misheard it. "Wh-what did you say?"
Old Master Shaw did not look at Chloe again, but he looked at Gloria. "Gloria, tell me what exactly is going on. why would they take you as a criminal and even call the police?"
Before Gloria answered him, two police officers said, "Old Master Shaw, it's a misunderstanding. It's probably just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" old Master Shaw looked at the Payne sister. " I think someone is deliberately causing disruptions! They are even deliberately wasting the resources of the police!"
The Payne sisters were speechless.
"Gloria, tell me! I will back you up!" Old Master Shaw finally found a chance to improve his relationship with his daughter, so of course, he was not going to let it go. He then looked at Gloria gently.
However, Gloria said, "You're already so old and it's inconvenient for your to walk anymore. In the future, stop coming over if there is no need for it. Everything is fine on my end. I can take care of myself. Besides, I'm already over fifty. I'm not a child anymore. I know what I am doing. You don't have to be worried about me."
Although she did not directly order him to leave, her words still gave him a sense that she was keeping him at arm's length.
Gloria's expression was calm and old. It was nothing out of the ordinary at first. However, in comparison to the incomparably dignified and mighty old Master Shaw, her elegance, coldness, and arrogance were made even more obvious.
The Payne sisters, especially the youngest sister, Abigail, were simply stunned by what they saw. Abigail looked at Gloria and stuttered, "You're n-not..."
"Not what?" Gloria sneered. "I'm a scammer? I'm a criminal? Although you are from a small county, I still can't escape your eagle eyes? May I ask you three wealthy ladies, do I know you? Have we met before? Who are you to insult my character in front of my house and even call the police to arrest me? If you don't give me a clear explanation today, don't any one of you even think about leaving this place!"
The Payne sisters took a step back at the same time as they were frightened. Right at that critical moment, another car came over from somewhere not far away. The car stopped, and three people came out of it.
The two people in the forefront rushed to the Payne sisters very quickly. It was when he arrived in front of the Payne sisters that Lucius asked in excitement, "Chloe, what's going on? Have you called the police? How are the police going to deal with this group of people? Why aren't they taking them away yet?"
Immediately after that, Lucius' wife also held Ashnah's hand. " Ashnah, are you sure the police won't be arresting US?"
Ashnah was speechless.
When the sisters were on their way here, they gave their parents a call and asked that they have to stand guard outside of Vireo's operating room. They asked them to bring vireo over as soon as he was done with the operation. The Payne sisters wanted to let Vireo witness with his own eyes what kind of people he was friends with. They were scammers! They were just scammers who were deliberately cheating him out of his money! Therefore, their parents had been waiting outside Vireo's operating room the whole time.
However, it was a coincidence that even though the operation that vireo was performing was very complicated, the duration of the operation was not that long. It was done in a little more than an hour. As soon as he came out of the room, vireo saw his adoptive parents outside of the operating room.
vireo originally did not want to come over with his adoptive parents, but they kept shouting in the hospital, vireo felt that their behavior was certainly creating a negative impact, and they were also disturbing the patients from getting their rest. Therefore, he had no choice but to drive his adoptive parents over. He found this place according to the location that his sisters had sent him. It was after vireo had arrived that he learned that this was Sabrina's mother's house.
Vireo was both shocked and furious. His adoptive parents truly were too out of control. They had kicked up a storm in both their county and the provincial capital. They even came to South City to make trouble for him at that moment. It was fine if they had just made trouble for him, but they actually stirred up trouble at Sabrina's mother's house. That was simply absurd! Absurd! Vireo truly wanted to have his adoptive parents killed by his own hands! However, he was reminded of the fact that after all, they had raised him. Also, he has patients at the South city Hospital that he had to care for. He has the high hopes that his mentor had for him, and he also has Isadora's love for him. Therefore, he could not do anything reckless.
