Ch. 2431..2440
Chapter 2431 Belinda finally got rich, she no longer has to work and wash dishes anymore. She wanted to go have a proper spa. She was not even 30 years old yet. Her life has only just begun, she wanted to be compensated for all the grievances and injustice that she once suffered.
Belinda did not return that afternoon and night.
The morning the next day, Belinda, who had returned, seemed like a changed person. She was dressed luxuriously and was exuding the air of nobility all over her body.
She did not even look at Vincent directly. She only shot a glance at him from the corner of her eyes. "You better not lose your temper with me and don’t even think about divorcing me. It's impossible for me to get married again in this life because no matter who I was to marry, I will be afraid that he will be coveting my money. Since I don't want to marry another man anymore, then you certainly are the best candidate to be my husband. However, don’t you stop me from having fun! If you dare to, I definitely will ruin your sister!"
That remark truly frightened Vincent. He was not afraid of anything but Helena's happy life really being ruined by this crazy woman. This crazy woman truly could do anything.
From that day on, Vincent became even more sorrowful than before. He was no longer fond of that house anymore. He kept heading out early and returning late, and he just kept immersing himself in his studies every day. As for what Belinda had done or what time she came home, he did not ask about it at all. He lived his life like the walking dead.
However, there was something that made him feel relieved as well. His sister, Helena, has gotten into a relationship and found a pretty good place for her internship. His brother got married, and both his brother and his wife loved each other very much. His brother's wife was even pregnant. He was going to have a niece or nephew in the near future. Life was still good.
Sometimes when Vincent was alone, he would think about all these and tears would well up in his eyes. If his sacrifice alone could bring about happiness to his brother and sister, then it would also be worth it. Therefore, even if Vincent knew that Belinda was fooling around out there and getting involved with different men often, he also felt very numb.
He never loved her, to begin with. He had never shared a bed with Belinda as well. It did not matter to him at all if she wanted to get with any men out there. He would not be upset, much less get jealous.
However, he was getting lonelier and lonelier on his own.
When he was almost graduating, because Vincent had outstanding grades and was honest and reliable, he was asked to stay back to teach. When he received such excellent news, Vincent did not look happy at all. He really could not be happy.
Helena saw how abnormal he looked, she then called out to him at the entrance of their college's administrative office. "Vincent, this is such a happy matter, but why are you still so dejected? What exactly is on your mind?"
Vincent, who could no longer hold it in anymore, told Helena about everything that had happened during that time.
After he finished, Vincent sighed and said, "Helena, this is how my life is going to be. However, as long as you, as well as Wymond and his wife, are doing well, I will be very satisfied. Just live your life well from now on, got it?"
Helena, however, cried. Tears kept streaming down her face as she looked at Vincent. "Vincent, that boyfriend of mine is fake!"
"What?" Vincent looked at Helena with confusion.
Helena smiled miserably, "In order to not to let you worry, I found a person to pretend to be my boyfriend. I told him very clearly, and he also agreed to help me. There's nothing between US. We are just normal friends. If you're happy, I will give you my blessing.
However, you're not happy now..."
II There was a pause before she plucked up her courage and said, Vincent, I only have you in my heart."
Chapter 2432 Vincent looked at Helena in confusion, "what are you talking about, Helena? You mean you and that boyfriend of yours are not real?"
Helena smiled miserably. "Yes, Vincent. He and I are just normal friends. He is just a good friend of mine. I didn't want to let you be worried about me, so I asked him to put up an act with me. I thought you would be able to get by a little better. However, I never expected that you would be so miserable.
"Vincent, I have figured it out that I don't care if Belinda has my indecent photos or whatnot. I don't care at all. If she wants to be released, then just let her do it. After all, she was the one who had set me up back then. I had never done anything from beginning to end. It's true, Vincent. I'm not afraid.
"I feel this is how God has planned for US. We are all miserable people. If you're not happy, it's also impossible for me to find another boyfriend. Do you understand what I'm saying, Vincent?"
Of course, Vincent understood what she said. However, he still said to Helena with a serious expression, "Are you silly? You will ruin yourself like that! I am already married. This is a fact that can't be changed. Don't waste your thoughts on me. You've no idea how crazy that Belinda woman is. You have no idea! You have to live your life well. Find yourself a kind man who is good in all aspects, have proper dates with him, and marry him. Do you understand?"
Helena nodded with all her might. "I understand Vincent. I know it. I know what morals are. I know I am in the wrong if I pester you when you are still married. I know that. I will wait for you. If you are still not happy within three years, and if you want to get a divorce, I would wait for you. If Belinda changed for the better in these three years and is willing to live her life with you, then both of you just live your lives together, alright?"
Vincent was extremely saddened. He knew that Helena cared for him. He did his best to hold back his tears, nodded with his might, and then said with a catch in his throat, "Alright. Alright, Helena.
We have to live our lives well."
"Vincent, we're still family, aren't we? We can't stop contacting each other. No matter what, I am also your son's aunt, am I not?
We are a family. We can't sever our relationship. Having normal interactions should not be against anything, right?" Helena's tone was also incomparably miserable.
"Of course!" Vincent's tears finally streamed down his face.
He felt that God was truly unfair to him. His parents had passed away during his childhood, and he lived an incomparably impoverished life without the love and care from his parents. He finally pulled through those hardships and even got into college.
He felt that he was a good young man. He was very motivated. He was not afraid of enduring hardships, not afraid of being poor, and not afraid of anything. He only wanted to live in peace, but that was not even possible for him. He had to be torn apart from Helena.
He was not willing to accept defeat. He wanted to live his life well to show God up.
He had figured it out. He wanted to have a proper talk with Belinda. If she was willing to live her life with him, then they would do it properly. They have to do it properly.
In the end, when he went home that night, he saw that Belinda brought a man home to fool around. That made Vincent crazily angry.
However, before he questioned Belinda, she beat him to the punch and started scolding him, "Do you feel I have cuckolded you?
Vincent Yates, we have never consummated our marriage. You can't even be considered my husband. Therefore, it doesn't matter who I want to be with, you have no place to question me."
Her words made Vincent really speechless.
Indeed, what right does he have to question Belinda for being involved with other men or not? After all, they had never consummated.
Ever since then, Vincent hardly ever returned to the house he and Belinda were staying at. He went back occasionally, but that was to visit the child. However, he realized later on that ever since Belinda became rich, she unexpectedly never thought about giving the child away anymore. She doted on the child beyond measure and often told the child that Vincent was not his biological father, she asked the child to be wary of Vincent no matter what, and must not let Vincent have his eyes on their money.
Chapter 2433 It was a tiny child, but it looked at Vincent with unparalleled wariness. It was as if Vincent was a bandit. Once Vincent lost his temper and got into a big fight with Belinda while the child was at kindergarten.
"You're going to spoil him like this! Are you planning to ruin him by putting those thoughts in his head?!"
"He's my son! How could I possibly ruin him?! I gave birth to him! Vincent Yates, let me ask you this, are you related to my son by blood at all? what right do you have to police what I do?! I know what you're up to. You're planning to win over my son's affection while he's young so my son will think that he's your son and transfer his fortune to you! Forget about it, you beggar!"
Slap! Vincent raised his hand and slapped Belinda on her cheek. He was so repulsed! This damn woman! All she cared about was money, money, money! What kind of trauma did she suffer to end up like such a psycho?
She was fine when she did not have any money. Now that she had money, she instantly acted as though everyone was out to get her money.
"You're the heiress of a rich family. Look at you! You grew up in the Kelley family and never lacked for anything. Why do you value money so much? I don't care about your money even if that old guy gave you ten million dollars or even one hundred million! Do you understand?! That's because I can tell from looking at you that there's no hardship that a person cannot take, but there are good things that one cannot enjoy! I swear this right now. I- will never covet even a single cent of your money! I will never want it! You can keep your money, but watch out that it doesn't bite you in the back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his leg. When he looked down, he saw his son clinging to his leg and biting him. Even though he was just a two-year-old child, his bite really hurt.
After biting Vincent, the child cried and screamed at him. "You poor beggar. You can't hit my mommy. Don't hit my mommy. You beggar!"
Vincent was speechless. He wondered if it was the right thing for him to adore this child. After all, it was not his biological child.
Also, Belinda constantly fed thoughts like this to the child. He really wanted to be a part of the child's upbringing, but as long as Belinda was involved she would argue with him. He did not have a chance to look after the child at all. 1 In the end, Vincent smiled coldly. All his efforts were pointless. He had shown them both extreme forbearance. Vincent sighed. "
Belinda, let's get a divorce. I don't want anything that belongs to you. I'll leave with nothing. Once we get our divorce license, I '11 get my stuff and go."
Belinda was stunned. She could not believe that Vincent would ask her for a divorce and want nothing out of it. How was this possible? Shouldn't he try to get on her good side and wait on her hand and foot now that she was rich? He actually wanted a divorce?!
"Why? Aren't you worried about your sister's explicit pics getting exposed?" Belinda asked in disbelief.
Vincent said without a second thought, "Helena told me that she doesn't care. She doesn't care about anything as long as we can be together. I've thought it through. You can release them if you want. We don't care."
"What did you say?!" Belinda's eyes went wide in an instant.
"We don't..." Before Vincent could finish his sentence he was cut off by a loud scream from Belinda.
"Vincent Yates! You d*mn b*stard! How dare you keep a mistress!" Belinda gritted her teeth angrily as she glared at Vincent.
Chapter 2433 It was a tiny child, but it looked at Vincent with unparalleled wariness. It was as if Vincent was a bandit. Once Vincent lost his temper and got into a big fight with Belinda while the child was at kindergarten.

"Vincent Yates! You d*mn b*stard! How dare you keep a mistress!" Belinda gritted her teeth angrily as she glared at Vincent.
Chapter 2435 "Beat him, son!"
Belinda immediately urged her son to hit Vincent. Her two-year- old son was pretty vicious when he started throwing punches. He kicked, bit, and also hit Vincent, when he saw the child acting like that, Vincent felt an inexpressible pang in his heart. Wouldn't his future be ruined since he was with a mother like that?
However, Vincent was helpless. He was not the child's birth father. Since Belinda refused to acknowledge him, the child would not acknowledge him either. 2 Forget it! There are plenty of pitiful children in the world. If the child was an orphan, he would definitely help him. But, the child had his mother. He could not help so it might be better to ignore the situation.
"Let's set a time to sort out our divorce at the local courthouse, Belinda."
Belinda was stunned. "А-are... Are you really f*cking going to divorce me?"
"What did you think?"
"Why you... You don't care about my 10 million dollars?" Belinda looked at Vincent disbelievingly.
With a cold and mocking smile, Vincent said, "Belinda, 10 million is no small number. But how long do you think that money will last with a woman who doesn't care to improve herself? One who spends all day feasting and spending money on boy toys? Do you think that everyone is like you and thinks money is king?!" 1 "Let's take a step back and think about it, even if I wanted your 10 million, do you think I'd have a chance to get it when you guard it so fiercely? when you're afraid of anyone spending even a single cent of your money?! Since I won't have any chance at the money, why wouldn't I divorce you?"
Besides, Belinda, I have never wanted your money the whole time I've been with you. I never abandoned you when you were poor. I was the only one who cared for you at the hospital when you gave birth! I have always done right by you! Do you think your money has a pull on me?"
Belinda was extremely stunned by what Vincent said. To be honest, she knew very well that she and her son had been completely reliant on Vincent over the past few years. She chose to marry Vincent when she was pregnant with another guy's kid back then because she saw that he was an honest and good guy. He did not have a history in this city so he was alone without any parents. He was an easy target to bully and control.
Over the past few years, Vincent had really taken such good care of her and her son. If she and Vincent got a divorce, she would really struggle to find another man who would be willing to look after her and her son and go along with all their whims.
"I refuse to get a divorce!" Belinda began to act shamelessly.
"This isn't up to you!' Vincent said calmly, "Let's go to the local courthouse on Monday. If you don't show up, you can just wait to receive a court letter!"
After saying that, Vincent turned around and left without even looking back.
"No! No, Vincent! I won't get a divorce! I will not divorce you! Don't go, Vincent! Wah..." Belinda suddenly burst into tears.
Over the past few years, she had been overly reliant on Vincent. She looked down on him yet she relied on him. Now that Vincent was really leaving, she suddenly felt a sense of terror. It was like she suddenly lost her thick protective wall.
Belinda definitely would not be willing to go to the local courthouse. Hence, all she could do was wait for the court letter. Two months later, Belinda and Vincent would both appear in court. Vincent had evidence of Belinda committing adultery and also proof that the child was not his. Hence, the court granted him the divorce right then and there.
As he walked out of the courthouse doors, Vincent only said this to Belinda, "The child is innocent. There's some motherly instinct inside of you so please look after your child well. Do your best!"
when he finished, Vincent left quickly.
"Vincent! I won't let you go! I will make sure my son remembers you! You heartless b*stard!" Belinda shouted despairingly from behind him.
Chapter 2436 Belinda was not a typical woman, when she was down, things were really bad. She was clearly the heiress of the Kelley family but her own father and half-brother gave her to an old man in his seventies.
She was just a tool in the Kelley family. Apart from that, she never had a source of income. Maybe it was her twisted living environment that caused her to develop such a twisted personality. That was the reason everything was dark and twisted deep inside her.
She did not like Vincent, no has she ever considered becoming Vincent's wife for real. Honestly, she always looked down on a poor man like Vincent. Now that Vincent was leaving her, without even bothering to look back, Belinda was unresigned to her fate right there. She was a crazy woman who would do whatever she said, she taught her son every day, "Your daddy had abandoned US. You must remember that your daddy is a b*stard."
Belinda would teach her son all kinds of things, she had never been afraid of spoiling her child. To be honest, deep down inside, she hated her son. Her son was the reason she would always remember that she had been tortured by an old man in his seventies.
Her son looked more and more like that old man as he grew, she felt absolute disgust when she looked at her son. This was why she never cared to bring her son up well or let him have a happy life or progress. She would never let that happen! 1 This was why there was hatred in the heart of that 2-year-old boy. When they lived in the same city, Belinda would try all sorts of ways to find Vincent and Helena. Even if they moved, she would be able to find them.
She would scold Helena and call her a mistress in front of her soon. Sometimes, Belinda would go to the school and cause a fuss there. Many people could not take Belinda's unreasonable actions anymore so someone said, "Belinda, you're being outrageous!
Don't think we don’t know what you did!"
"You targetted those two because they lost their parents and didn't have a support system in this city. You forced them apart!
Now, you're accusing Helena of being a homewrecker! It's karma that your life is so terrible! since you called Helena a mistress and said that Vincent cheated, show up the proof! Vincent has proof even if you don't! Your son is the best proof!"
Suddenly, many people at the school were speaking up for Vincent. Belinda was forced to leave resentfully. The days passed in this manner for about two to three years. Vincent and Helena have been at their jobs for some time and began to grow their savings. Their oldest brother's son was also about two to three years old as well now. Vincent and Helena considered bringing their oldest brother's family to the city and using their savings to help their oldest brother start a martial arts training center.
After all, their oldest brother started fighting ever since he was a child and was a powerful martial artist now. Their brother and his wife agreed happily and quickly moved to the city from their home. Vincent and Helena found a kindergarten for three-year-old Kingston. The five of them lived a peaceful and happy life.
Chapter 2437 Next, Helena and Vincent needed to think about having a child.
After all, neither of them were spring chickens. The husband and wife started preparing a long time ago, but getting pregnant also depended on chance. One cannot let the stresses of life or work become too overwhelming. In order to conceive, they needed to slow down. Hence, they would always hold hands and go for walks in the park and admire the greenery.
One day, Vincent and Helena went to watch a movie together.
When the movie ended two hours later, it was already past nine o'clock at night. Just as they exited the movie theatre, they heard a woman screaming loudly, "My purse! My purse! How could such a young child steal my purse?! Hurry up and catch that thief! My purse..."
When he heard the screaming, Vincent was shocked. He glanced at his wife then chased after the child without hesitation. Naturally, it was easy for him to catch up with the child since he was an adult.
He grabbed the purse from the child once he caught up then sternly told the child off, "You need to learn to do the right thing now or else you'll suffer when you're older! who are your parents? Did they teach you to do this?!"
Vincent could see that the child was dressed quite nicely, but he had a rebellious gaze. This child did not look like a vagrant. The child looked up at him and stared at him with a deep hatred.
Vincent could not help but smiled and ask, "why are you glaring at me? Do you know that what you did is against the law? You can't steal purses! You can smile now since the law cannot do anything against you right now, but you'll ruin yourself in the future! You're still young. You look like you're only about six or seven. You should still be studying in school, not robbing people on the streets!:
As a teacher, Vincent felt an inexpressible pang in his heart every time he saw children like this. He returned the purse to its owner. Both he and his wife decided to drop off the child at the police station. They had to find out who the child's parents were. The way they were bringing up this child would lead him down the wrong way!
A six or seven-year-old child was naturally helpless to escape from Vincent and his wife since they were adults. He shouted the whole way, "I don't want to go to the police station! I'm not going! Let go of me! I hate you guys!"
Whenever he saw the chance, the child would lunge and try to bite Helena. Helena was so frightened that she hid behind Vincent, she said in disbelief, "Vincent, this child is really wild. Children like this are really dangerous. We have to make sure the police find his parents and tell them to counsel his parents. His parents must have such big hearts!"
Vincent nodded. "Don't worry. I won't ignore it now that I've seen it."
In that manner, Vincent and Helena brought this unruly and uncontrollable child to the police station by restraining him the whole way.
"The child is still so young. We don't know how to deal with him. I feel like we can't just let him go into a downward spiral. His future might be ruined! Right now, it's still possible to save him if he gets a good upbringing. Please help US find his parents," said Vincent to the police officers.
The police were very impressed by the actions of Vincent and Helena. "It's very rare to find people with such a sense of what is right nowadays and are willing to care for someone else's child. I'm guessing that the child's parents must be very irresponsible for the child to end up like this. All we can do for now is find his parents."
Vincent nodded. "Alright, we'll leave it to you."
After all, it was not his child. Sending the child to the police station was as much as he could do. It was not up to him to manage what happened next.
"In that case, we'll head off now," said Vincent to the police officers.
The police nodded. "Alright, Mr. Yates."
Vincent was just about to cuddle his wife and leave when the child who was being watched by two officers suddenly rushed toward him shouting, "Dad, I can't believe that you don't recognize me! I'm your son! Not only do you not recognize me, but you also got a mistress! That's why you don't recognize your wife and son anymore! You're so evil!"
Vincent was stunned. He then turned back to look at the child and asked disbelievingly, "what did you say? what did you call me?"
Chapter 2438 The five or six-year-old child did not look at Vincent. He just looked venomously at the police officer and said, "This is my dad! He doesn't care about me and has never seen me. But I have seen my dad. He divorced my mom so he doesn't want me anymore. He married his mistress." Comment by abigail moh: continuity issue? last chapter was 6 or 7.1 just translated the raw... Not sure what's right 1 Vincent was speechless. Only at that moment could he finally see clearly that the child before him looked a lot like his mother. He had not seen this child in over two years. The child had grown really quickly and changed a lot. He could barely recognize him.
"Is your mother Belinda Kelley?" asked Vincent.
"You're an evil daddy. I will always remember you. I hate you. I will get my revenge!" The boy gritted his teeth as he looked at Vincent.
Vincent ignored the boy's curses. He merely asked sternly, "where is your mother? why isn't she watching after you?!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the police officer snapped at him. "You're a very interesting man. You couldn't even recognize your own son and even dropped him off at the police station. I can't believe that there's a father as irresponsible as you in the world. You're even pretending to be a do-gooder! I'm telling you, it's illegal to abandon your child!"
Vincent spluttered, "I... I'm not..."
"You're not what? What is it? Go ahead! If you can't explain yourself, forget about leaving the station!"
Vincent did not want to say it initially, especially in front of the child. After all, the child is innocent. Not to mention, the child ended up like this because of his mother's teachings. It was a great torment. However, if Vincent did not say anything, he would not be able to leave the police station.
Hence, he was forced to spill everything about what happened between him, Helena, and Belinda. At the very end, he stressed " When the court granted US the divorce, I took a paternity test. His mother cheated on me and I had proof of it. I couldn't take it anymore. That's why we got a divorce."
Everyone in the station was shocked when they heard it. Finally, an old officer said, "Tsk, the Kelley family have never paid any heed to their children's education and upbringing. The patriarch of the Kelley family made his fortune through dishonest methods. None of his children are any good. In fact, they're all horrible people. It's been tough on you, young man."
Vincent shook his head bitterly. "Can... can I leave now?"
The police officer made a presumptuous request. "Mr. Yates, umm ... We want to drop the kid home but we don't know where he lives. Why don't you come with US? We'll drop the kid off and speak to the kid's mom at the same time. Does that sound alright to you? We know this is asking a lot of you."
"It's alright." Vincent agreed without hesitation. He had never been one to hold grudges. Once it was settled, Vincent and the cops sent the child home together. The child was silent the whole way. He just glared at Vincent. At first, Vincent did not know what was going on. However, he realized once they were there that Belinda had moved away a long time ago.
Where had she moved to? No one knew. They asked the child but he refused to answer, when they asked him again, he actually reached out his hand to ask Vincent for money, and it was no small sum. "I want 10,000 dollars!"
10,000 dollars!
At that time, 10,000 dollars was nearly what Vincent would make in a year at his job at the college. His eyes went wide.
"I won't tell you if you don't give it to me!" The boy was extremely impudent.
The police officers were so mad that even they wanted to hit the boy. In the end, Vincent's heart went out to the boy.
After all, he raised the child for over two years. If it was not because he had no way of doing it, he would always see him as his own child.
He called Helena's brother and sister-in-law and got them to bring over 10,000 dollars quickly. Only then did the little boy bring the police and Vincent to his home. They went through winding roads. The boy was a genius to have such a good memory, when they finally arrived at his doorstep, Vincent and the cops were stunned in place.
Chapter 2439 Is this a home?
How can you call this a home? This is clearly a dilapidated ruin that’s akin to a dog kennel, isn't it?
There were no doors, no beds in the ruins, just haystacks and some simple cooking tools.
At this time, Belinda was half lying in the haystack, smoking something in her mouth.
Hearing that someone was back, Belinda said weakly, "You’re back. Let me ask you, have you gained anything today? I will not give you my precious cigarettes if you didn't."
Hearing these words, Vincent was stunned.
The little boy looked at Vincent angrily. "It's all because of you! You bastard! I will get revenge on you sooner or later!"
At this time, the police did not care about the child's harsh words. They took Belinda and the child away.
Through the interrogation, Vincent managed to obtain some information from the police.
Since Vincent and Belinda divorced, Belinda’s life has been rosier. She often changes boyfriends and often fools around, but it did not take long for her beautiful life to be ruined by a deceiving man.
Not only did he cheat her money, but she also became addicted to drugs. Fortunately, it was only three months ago, and her addiction was not that serious.
It was just that, in order to collect money for herself, she did not hesitate to implicate her own children. From then on, she controlled her children to steal and rob others.
Such a woman deserved a death sentence!
Vincent was stunned when he heard such news. He did not expect that Belinda would fall so fast.
When he got home and told Helena, Helena was also shocked to hear it. she said very sadly, "Did she ruin the child’s life?"
Vincent nodded and said, "That’s not the case."
Then, he hugged his wife again and said, "Forget it, we can't control them. Let's live our own lives in the future."
He was thinking about living well on his own, but Belinda asked to see Vincent every so often.
In desperation, Vincent discussed with Helena, his eldest brother, and sister-in-law, and simply moved away from that city and never came back.
Before leaving, Vincent put all the 20,000 yuan saved at home for Belinda's children.
He told the local juvenile detention center, “Give your child a chance to go to school, at least let him go to the ninth grade."
He really wanted to fight for the custody of the child, and he wanted to raise the child himself. However, he had no position to do so. The child was not his.
Leaving the money for the child was the only help he could do for that child.
Even when Vincent’s family of five moved from that city to South City, Vincent still remembered that child.
It was not until after Yvonne was born that Vincent finally sealed everything. He did not owe Belinda anything.
As for the quality of their lives, what did it have to do with him?
Later, when Yvonne was in elementary school, Vincent went to that city on a business trip. By coincidence, he met Belinda and the boy again.
The boy at that time had grown into a teenage boy.
What made Vincent extremely sad was that Belinda did not let his child go to junior high school. He only graduated from elementary school, and then he was more of a delinquent than before. He has become the little bully in that area.
It was just that the child was surprisingly thin.
Vincent even knew why the child was thin. Belinda was even more degenerate, she had become a beggar on the street.
Since that business trip, Vincent had never seen Belinda and their son again. Until now, more than 20 years have passed.
Chapter 2440 "Child, your mother is not mistress, your mother is the victim. The school, classmates, the neighbors around US, the police station, and the hospital of that year all testified for us. Mom and Dad are both victims. In order to live a clean life, we have since moved to a metropolis like South city." Vincent looked at his daughter Yvonne.
Yvonne’s tears streamed down.
She has been a sweetie since she was a child.
Her mom and dad both loved her. Even the uncle and aunt loved her like their own daughter.
Although Kingston was a cousin, he was better than a real brother.
The relationship between her family and her uncle's family was so good, and Yvonne had always been proud of this.
Her parents, uncle, aunt, and brother protected her very well.
So much so that Yvonne never knew that her parents also had such a bitter past.
She did not even know that her parents were once so poor.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you." After apologizing, Yvonne immediately burst into laughter. "Mom and Dad, I didn't even know that you were childhood sweethearts."
Helena smiled and said, "You little thing, what do you know? You only know how to eat and drink, and you don’t know the feeling of sadness. You don't even know that when you and Marcus were in love, your father and I suffered so much. We didn't tell you about it. How could we possibly tell you about our past?"
"My love with Marcus caused you and Dad to suffer in the past?" Yvonne looked at her parents in surprise.
She did not even know.
Her relationship with Marcus has always been smooth, she was neither lowly like Ruth, nor was she driven and calculative like Jane. Nor did she go through all kinds of hardships like Sabrina.
Her love was very smooth, she never thought that her love would make her parents suffer.
"Dad, Mom, is it true that Marcus’s family once caused trouble for you, thinking that we were not in the right household, and tried to break US up?’’ If this was the case, Yvonne will definitely not forgive Marcus.
She came from a commoner family, and she did not have much besides her good health. However, she would never do such a lowly thing.
Absolutely not!
However, her mother shook her head helplessly. "No, their Shaw family didn't embarrass US at all. It's me and your father, and I'm worried."
Yvonne said, "You are... worried?"
Vincent nodded. "Yes, child. We are your parents and we have experienced a lot more than you. When my parents were young, they encountered the schemes of a woman like Belinda, she was born to a rich and powerful family. Although your mother and I have never seen the dirty things in the rich and powerful family, we experienced it through Belinda. After getting to know about Belinda’s affairs back then, the reason why your mother, uncle and aunt and I moved to South City was to hide.’’ “For this reason, your mother and I both gave up our public jobs. Otherwise, Mom and Dad are both college professors now.
Instead of being a private teacher in primary and secondary schools.
However, we never thought about prosperity. We only thought that our daughter can grow up safely and be happy all her life, which is the best thing. In this world, there are as many wealthy families, but many of them are also miserable.” “Your mother and I have seen this through long ago. Our greatest wish in this life is that you can be a cheerful, lively, kind- hearted child. You didn't disappoint US at all. However, when you told US that you and Marcus were in love, your mother cried all day long."
"Huh?" Yvonne looked at her mother apologetically, she did not even notice these things, she always thought that her parents supported her love life with Marcus.
