Ch. 2791..2800
Chapter 2791 "Ninety-nine percent of the people in this world have their own ulterior motives, a dark side deep down, and a shameful side that nobody knew about. That includes me. However, at that time, Yvonne didn't have any of that. She was so kind, happy, and wonderful. Now that things have gotten to this point, I don't even know if Yvonne would still smile in the future like before. I don't know. She should’ve been the happy pill for all of US. Why did God want to punish her like that? What has she done wrong? Everyone in this world is making mistakes but not Yvonne. What has she done wrong that God wants to punish her like that? Why?"
At the very end, Sabrina was shouting.
Minerva hugged her. "Aunt Sabrina, I know about your relationship with Yvonne. I know. However, things have already turned up like that. This is just life.
There's no reason. Sometimes, God would doze off and would close His eyes as well. In the future, all of US will use our love to heal the wound in Yvonne's heart. We will slowly let her return to the time in the past when she was a happy pill. Alright?"
Sabrina said emotionally, ' It's very hard for US to even restore her appearance and her face to how Yvonne originally looked, let alone let her spirit return to being as happy as before. Do you know Mister and Missus Yates are reluctant to acknowledge that she is Yvonne? It's because she and their daughter don't look alike. She was a child who was by their side for thirty years. Their eyes and minds are filled with what Yvonne originally looked like. Even if they know she is Yvonne, it's also very hard for them to accept her, who looked different from before. On the contrary, that fake one is much easier for them to accept."
Minerva was deep in thought when she heard Sabrina saying that. After a long while, she said, "That seems to be how it is. It's especially so for Yvonne's parents. They had been spending time with Yvonne for thirty years. It's only natural that they would find it easier to accept whoever looked like Yvonne."
Sabrina sighed. “Therefore, we have to beat them at their own game now. We have to thoroughly expose that fake Yvonne's nasty behavior. Before we expose her, we shouldn't do anything that would alert them. Do you understand, Minerva?"
Minerva nodded. "Don't worry, Aunt Sabrina. Aino and I promise you that when we meet that fake Yvonne in the future, we will be affectionate to her as if we're sisters. This way, she'll let her guard down. Over time, she certainly would show her cloven hoof."
'Mm-hmm. Fantastic." Sabrina sighed again. "I hope this will end soon. I wish that Yvonne could return to her parents as soon as possible. When the time comes..."
"What's the matter, Aunt Sabrina? What are you still worried about when the time comes?" Minerva asked.
"They are already so old. They are already sixty years old this year. I really don't know how they would feel when the fake Yvonne is exposed and we let the real Yvonne return to their side," Sabrina said with concern.
Minerva gave it a thought. "Aunt Sabrina, I have a solution, but I don't know if it would work. I don't have the confidence either."
’What solution? Hurry up and tell me!" Sabrina immediately asked.
Minerva became a little shy and she said with a smile and a reddened face, "Aunt Sabrina, do you believe.Jn my surgical skill?" 2 Sabrina's eyes immediately lit up. "Are you saying that you...want to perform plastic surgery on Yvonne's face to return her face to how she originally looked?"
Chapter 2792 Minerva shook her head, "I can guarantee anything, Aunt Sabrina. I can only give it a try and see if I can restore her face."
'Just give it a try," Sabrina said with excitement.
"Alright. I'll make the preparations now."
Sabrina shook her head again. Remember, you must never ever alert the enemy."
"Mm-hmm. I got it, Aunt Sabrina. I'll do it in secret. I won't let anybody know, especially that Yvonne in Mister and Missus Yate's house."
Minerva was an incomparably smart girl.
Both Minerva and Sabrina went to Yvonne's parents' house again. At that moment, the whole house was filled with joy and laughter.
Yvonne's parents were there. Kingston's parents were also there. Kingston and his wife, Eevonne were there as well. All of them were surrounding Yvonne. Yvonne's mother was holding Yvonne's left hand while Kingston's mother was holding her right hand.
"My child, you really have suffered all these years. Look at how thin you are. My child, come and stay with me for a few days and I'll replenish your nutrients. Your mother is great in all aspects, but her cooking is not as good as mine. Come stay with me for a month and I promise to back you chubby."
Her aunt nagged with tears welling in her eyes. She was the only girl among the two families. Therefore, both families treasured her very much.
Yvonne's aunt and uncle doted on her more than they doted on Kingston since she was a child. They would always let Yvonne alone have all the delicious food and everything fun. They had never let her suffer any hardships at all. The Yates family had not been doing well since she was a child. However, both of the families would rather let Kingston, who was older, suffer, and they had never been able to bear letting Yvonne suffer a little bit of hardship at all. They kept feeling that she was a girl, so she certainly must be incomparably delicate like the most delicate orchid in the greenhouse.
However, never have they ever expected that this child, whom they had protected, pampered, and loved so much, still could not avoid experiencing hellish hardships on earth. Her aunt cried so hard that tears kept gushing down her face. Her uncle, on the other hand, was fine.
He pulled his wife's hand away and he held Yvonne's hand instead. "My child, don't leave any more in the future. Don't leave. We shouldn't suffer such hardships anymore. How great is it to be home? Your parents are here, your aunt and uncle are here, and your cousin is also here. Look, you have one more person, your cousin-in-law, to love you now."
While saying that, Yvonne's uncle pointed at Eevonne to show her.
'My child, you and your cousin-in-law have the same name. I think the reason your cousin and his wife were able to be attracted to each other, dated each other, and get together was that you're their matchmaker. Your cousin had saved Eevonne back then because she has the same name as you. Come here, Eevonne. Hurry over to meet your cousin-in-law."
Yvonne's uncle turned around to call out to Eevonne. Eevonne smiled shyly. It has not been long since she joined this family. She was a child from the village, to begin with. She had never met Yvonne before. However, she often heard of her. Eevonne knew how delicate, kind, and sweet Yvonne was.
She called out with slight uneasiness, "Yvonne, I'm your cousin's wife. Well ... I haven't been living in South City for long, so I'm still not familiar with the city. I'm really just a bumpkin in South City. Since you're back, I'll have someone to accompany me in the future. Yvonne, take me with you no matter where you go in the future. Take me to have all the foods that you like and the boutiques that you like to shop in.
I'm very outdated. I'll let you help me match my clothes and so on, so I can be a little bit stylish, alright?" Eevonne's words were filled with utmost sincerity.
Chapter 2793 She was truly sincere.
When Kingston and Eevonne were on their way over from their new house, Kingston kept telling her, "My cousin hasn't been home for a few years. We have to accept her in a seamless manner. We have to let her know how important she is to the family and let her feel needed. We have to let her know that even though she has left for almost five years and has been wandering out here all these years, she is still the experienced expert in the fashion circle of South City."
After saying so much, Kingston looked at Eevonne apologetically. "Dear, don't get angry. My cousin hasn't been home for a few years, after all..."
Eevonne pressed her head against Kingston's head. "Silly man! Why do you think I like you? It's because I saw how you were persistent and you went all over the place looking for your cousin. You had never given up. It's because I saw that deep sense of kinship you have for your cousin that I like you. Your cousin is back now. If you don't love her that much anymore, I don't agree with you! Don't worry! Your wife shares the same name as Yvonne and is also her cousin-in-law. I certainly will treat her like she's my own younger sister."
"Dear, you seem to be younger than my cousin." Kingston teased her.
"Screw you! I'll ignore you and I'll only talk to your cousin!" Eevonne pinched Kingston's nose.
After that, both of them looked at each other and smiled. Just like that, the couple reached an agreement that when they arrived at Yvonne's house, Yvonne would be the priority in everything they say or do. In fact, Eevonne felt sorry for Yvonne from the bottom of her heart. They were both people who had experienced hardships, so they empathized with each other better. However, what caught Eevonne by surprise was that after Yvonne surveyed her from top to bottom, she immediately said, No matter how much you dress up, you won't be able to shake off that bumpkin aura!"
Eevonne was speechless. In an instant, she felt so embarrassed.Right at that moment, Sabrina and Minerva knocked on the door and came in, so they put an end to the momentary awkwardness. Seeing that Sabrina came in, Yvonne became extremely friendly.
She freed both of her hands that were being held and ran toward Sabrina. ’ Miss Sabrina, where have you been all day? You didn't even come to visit me. I miss you to death..."
Sabrina was speechless. She was truly annoyed that Yvonne addressed her as Miss Sabrina. That ingratiating manner and that cheesiness.
She truly could not stand it!
"Eevonne, you're here too. It's been a long time since I last saw you. Is everything going well at work?" she said.
Yvonne was speechless.
Eevonne was immediately freed from the embarrassment. "Missus Ford, you're here. Seeing that your best friend has returned, you must be very happy, right? I was just telling Yvonne just now to take me along when you’re out shopping to make me more stylish."
Sabrina smiled. "Of course, it's not a problem!"
At that moment, Yvonne immediately changed her tone. "Eevonne, let me be the one to bring you around. I certainly will dress you up to be a proper little minx. Haha. Eevonne, I was just joking with you just now, so you're not allowed to get mad at me, alright? I often joked with my cousin in the past."
Everybody laughed when they heard Yvonne saying that. Eevonne laughed as well.
Sabrina looked at Yvonne with a broad smile. "You have left your house for so many years, but your character hasn't changed at all. You're still the sweetheart and happy pill like before.” Yvonne raised her eyebrow and looked at Sabrina, "Come on, Miss Sabrina, can a person's character change? It's impossible! Like what they said, a leopard can't change its spots!"
Sabrina was still smiling broadly as she looked at Yvonne.
However, she was secretly saying in her mind, 'You're indeed acting very, very much like her.' The house got even livelier as everyone in the house chatted with each other. At that moment, Yvonne suddenly asked subtly, "Until now, I haven't seen Marcus. Where is he?"
Chapter 2794 She has finally mentioned Marcus. Both Sabrina and Minerva looked at each other.
Immediately after that, Yvonne's mother said, "Yvonne, are you missing Marcus?” Yvonne glanced at her mother while pretending to be annoyed. "Mom!
What are you talking about? Marcus and I have been in love for so many years. He is the person I love the most! I strongly believe that I'm also the person he loves the most! No matter how many years I've disappeared, Marcus certainly will wait for me! Even if she had found another woman in the past few years, I will have to make that woman leave! I'm the woman who is legally married to Marcus! My in-laws love me very much. Also, Marcus' late grandpa approves of me very much! I'm the young lady of the house for the Shaw family! This is a fact that can't be changed! Marcus can only be mine!” At that moment, Sabrina finally understood something. Marcus' fame was very attractive, after all. In South City, the Shaw family's fame was only second to the Ford family’s, and Marcus' fame was only second to Sebastian's. Sometimes, because Marcus was kind, gentle, and incredibly lenient to others, he was more attractive to the girls compared to Sebastian. He was nice. His family background was great as well.
Who would not want to marry such a man?
Sabrina sneered in her mind, but on the surface, she said, "Yvonne, you're still quite domineering when it comes to the way you treat Marcus.
However, you're right. Marcus is yours! In the past few years when you're not here, Ruth and I had been keeping an eye on him on your behalf! Even if there were any women who dared to forcibly occupy Marcus, she would never get past Ruth. Therefore, Marcus is still single today.” "Really?" Yvonne was overjoyed. After that, she started acting like a spoiled child. "Then why didn't he come to see me?” "He happened to have something to handle abroad. He has heard that you're back, so he's already rushing to come home," Sabrina said.
"That's great!" Yvonne crossed her arms in front of her like a bashful little girl.
"This child!" Yvonne's mother looked at her lovingly. "You've just come home, but instead of properly catching up with your parents, you're only thinking of your man!"
"Mom! There're so many people here. Don't just say anything to other people. Besides, there's an outsider here," said Yvonne, then either it was by design or accident, she glanced at Eevonne.
Eevonne immediately said tactfully, "Oh, I almost forgot. I still have some business to handle in the office. You don't know this, but Kingston could delegate his work to others, so it doesn't matter if he goes to the office or not. However, it's different for me. I have to go to work every day. If I don't go to work, the company will dock my pay. Uncle Vincent and Aunt Helena, I...I1I let all of you chat with each other. I have to go to work."
Yvonne's parents were rather embarrassed. After all, during all these years when Yvonne was not home, they were almost covered in tears every day in the first few years, but later, when they were almost feeling hopeless and felt like life has no meaning anymore, Eevonne came to their house. She chatted with them every day. She cleaned the house for them. She accompanied them to get groceries from the market.
In both the elderlies' eyes, if Yvonne never were to return anymore in this life, then without a doubt, Eevonne would be their daughter.
However, as soon as Yvonne returned, she started excluding her.
Yvonne's father immediately saved Eevonne from the embarrassment by saying, "Evonne, hurry up and go to work. Come over for dinner tonight. I'll make your favorite meatballs."
"Dad, I don't like meatballs!" Yvonne said with annoyance. Her father was speechless.
Eevonne smiled. "Uncle Vincent, I'll go to work now."
After that, she looked at Sabrina again. "Missus Ford, Minerva, I'll first be taking my leave." 3 Eevonne was slightly down when she left Yvonne's parent's house.
Chapter 2795 The Yates family only felt awkward for a couple of minutes before they got over it. The entire family, as well as Sabrina, still doted on Yvonne like she was a little princess. After they had lunch at Yvonne's house, Sabrina and Minerva made up an excuse and left.
After they stepped out of the entrance to the neighborhood, Minerva said angrily, "Aunt Sabrina! This Yvonne has gone too far. She even dared to drive her cousin's wife out! What right does she have? Eevonne is married to Kingston. She has nothing to do with her at all!"
Sabrina sneered. "A person's greed can never be satiated."
Minerva looked at her in confusion. "Aunt Sabrina, what do you mean? A person's greed can never be satiated? Could it be that this fake Yvonne not only wants to hog over Marcus but also Kingston? That won't work. She is related to Kingston by blood!"
"You're a silly girl!" Sabrina raised her hand and pinched Minerva's nose. ’ We've supported you as you studied medicine for so many years, but it's all for nothing! You already said that she is the fake Yvonne, so how could she be related to Kingston by blood?"
Minerva immediately laughed in a silly manner. "That's right. That made sense. I've already forgotten about that. Gosh...could she really want to hog two men for herself?"
Sabrina sighed. "I don't think she'll go that far. I could tell that she is mainly coming at Marcus. In the entire South City, even as far as the entire country, how many single girls want to marry Marcus? If she is able to disguise as Yvonne and spend the rest of her life with Marcus, she would already be getting a bargain."
"If that is the case, why does she still want to ostracize Eevonne?" Minerva said with annoyance.
"Her greed simply couldn't be satiated. Not only does she want to marry Marcus and be the proper Missus Shaw, but she also wants to occupy the Yates family's properties!" Sabrina revealed what the fake Yvonne truly had in mind. The Yates family is not the same as before anymore. In the past, the Yates family also had quite a bit of property. Yvonne's parents were teachers, so they had pensions. Yvonne had been doing quite well at her job and she did not simply spend her money. Therefore, their family already had a small reserve fund with about three million dollars saved up. Later, after Yvonne and Marcus got married, the properties and real estates that Marcus put under the two elderly people's names were worth two hundred million. That was what Marcus had given the two elderly people to spend for the rest of their lives. I'm guessing that the fake Yvonne also wanted to take all that money for herself. There's also Kingston. When Yvonne ran away from home, Kingston still did not want to get married. The real Yvonne really hoped that her cousin could find his lover. But what about the fake Yvonne? Since her cousin was a person who did not want to get married, then it would be best for him to remain celibate for the rest of his life. Then, all the properties would be hers. This scheme that she's planning is really brilliant."
Sabrina sneered.
"Damn it!" Minerva was so angry that her eyes were burning with rage.' Aunt Sabrina, what do we do next?"
Sabrina let out a sigh. "We start by investigating the doctor! We have to first find out how the fake Yvonne bribed that doctor!"
"Alright!" Minerva said furiously. "Leave this matter to me!"
Sabrina shook her head. 'No. The fake Yvonne's people knew you. As soon as you go and look for the doctor who did the DNA test, you'll be found out by Yvonne and our cover will be blown."
Minerva wrapped both of her arms around Sabrina. ' Aunt Sabrina, aren't you underestimating your niece? Have you forgotten what I do for a living? I'm a PhD holder in aesthetic medicine. That's aesthetic medicine. Not only do I know how to use a scalpel, but I also know how to do makeup and touch up! You see that I'm so ugly, right? But I can turn myself into a beautiful woman through makeup!"
Sabrina was stunned. "Really?"
"You have to see it with your own eyes!"
Minerva then led Sabrina to her house, step by step, she put on makeup and dressed herself up for one and a half hours while Sabrina watched her.
One and a half hours later, Minerva actually dolled herself up into a beautiful woman with defining features. She looked like an incomparably beautiful woman who was alluring and noble.
"Gosh! You've proven the saying that there are no ugly women in this world but only those who are too lazy to put in the effort!" Sabrina said and sighed.
At that moment, someone knocked on her door.
"Come in," Minerva said.
The person who came in saw Minerva and asked in shock, "Who...who are you?"
Chapter 2796 Sabrina could not help but smile when she saw Nigel. Minerva also smiled.
"Sabrina, why are you here? Where's Minerva? Who's this?" Nigel asked in confusion.
Minerva could not help but burst out laughing.
"Minerva?" Nigel blurted out saying. *Why...why did you turn into such a minx?"
"Mm-hmm. I'm preparing to seduce someone else," Minerva said without hiding anything at all.
"What...what do you want to do?!" Nigel asked.
"I want to dump you. Look at you. You're already almost forty but I'm not even thirty. I usually don't look very good as my face is covered with freckles and don't look like I'm worthy to be with you, the person in charge of the Conor Group. However, look at me now. I'm a PhD holder in aesthetic medicine who came back from studying abroad. Also, I look so good when I doll up. It's just a piece of cake for me to dump you now."
"Is that so?" Nigel stifled his laughter.
"Then let me ask you, does that man, whom you're going to seduce, know that your snores are thunderous when you sleep? Does he know that your drools could form a stream when you sleep? Does he know that you look like a doctor who cares about hygiene and whatnot, but you actually could go for half a month without washing your feet? Also, if nobody urged you to take a shower, you would be so lazy that..."
"Nigel Conor!" Minerva immediately became anxious after he revealed her flaws.
Sabrina was just having a good laugh at the side. She suddenly felt very touched. Sabrina had been worried about Nigel for a few years in the past. She was worried that he would not be able to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. However, from what she had just seen, she had been worried for nothing. Nigel and Minerva were really good together.
Minerva hugged Sabrina's arm and said while acting like a spoiled child, ’ Aunt Sabrina, look at him! You have to seek justice for me and back me up!"
Sabrina looked at Nigel and was sincerely emotional. "Congratulations, Master Nigel. You're so happy now."
Nigel sighed emotionally. "Sabrina, in a blink of an eye, I'm already pushing forty and you're in your thirties. Back then, we, no, not you, it was just me...l was so absurd and such a jerk. Fortunately, everything turned out well. To have Minerva in this lifetime is the happiest thing for me."
"That's great," Sabrina said.
"Oh, right, what are you guys doing?" Nigel asked.
"We're going to investigate that male doctor," Minerva said.
Nigel immediately became spirited. "Help me put on makeup as well. Let's go together. This way, I can also protect you."
"Alright!" Minerva said.
The couple’s minds were simply in sync. Even if the man was bringing the woman to seduce another man, they still cooperated with each other seamlessly. Minerva's hair was voluminous and wavy. She wore a long trench coat, a super short dress, and high heels as she came to the counter.
"Sir, I would inquire about something," Minerva said coyly.
The man behind the counter was very upright. "If you want to inquire about something, you can go to the information counter in the lobby. Go to the lobby. I'm not free over here!"
"Sir... I'm begging you, could you please help me?" Tears actually started welling in Minerva's eyes when she said that.
She had a catch in her throat and she swallowed a few times silently without saying anything. However, her tears streamed down her face.
The way she looked with her tear-stained face. That melancholic gaze. The doctor behind the counter could not help but take another look at Minerva. 1 The doctor looked at Minerva with a slightly miserable expression. "Go ahead with whatever you want to say."
"I...I like children very much. I ...I'm afraid that my figure will go out of shape, so I didn't want to bear a child myself. I then...told my boyfriend that we should adopt a child. Unexpectedly, my boyfriend agreed very quickly. Who would've expected that he would bring a child to me the following day and say that the child was adopted? However, the more I look at the child, the more I feel that the child looked very much like my boyfriend. Sir, tell me, why aren't there any good men in this world? Can you...can you help me?"
Chapter 2797 ’I can buy you a meal. I can even let you..."
Minerva stopped mid-sentence and did not continue anymore. She just looked at the man behind the counter with a pitiful gaze. The man was stunned. To be honest, the woman truly looked very good. When she was not crying, her eyes were so bright that they could express her mind. When she looked at a person, she could make that person's heart flutter.
However, in just a blink of an eye, she started crying again. Her tears were as clear as crystals. Her eyes were hazy. The way she looked simply made others pity her. Which man would not take pity on such a woman?
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have begged you. I ...I'm leaving.” Minerva turned around and left.
"Wait." The man called out.
With tears in her eyes, Minerva immediately looked at that man with a smile. "I'll treat you to lunch at noon, and then I can tell you everything in detail. Is that alright?” The man nodded. He did not want to nod. He felt that it was too absurd. Recently, he had done too many absurd things. However, on second thought, since he had already done some absurd things, it did not matter to do it again.
'At noon, I'll treat you to something good." The man was already imagining a romantic lunch. It would be best if something else could happen. It would be best if he did not need to take responsibility for whatever happened.
"Alright. Thank you," Minerva kept thanking him. After that, she took out a piece of paper with her contact number on it from her bag and gave it to the man. Then, she asked him for his contact number. Only then did she leave with satisfaction. When she left the entrance of the hospital, Nigel was already waiting for her in the car.
'How was it?"
"A great success! He's buying me lunch at noon today," Minerva said smugly.
Nigel smiled. "Look how smug you look!"
Minerva, however, said with a sorrowful expression, "I'm really not optimistic at all. If this man were to tell me himself that he had falsified Yvonne's test, I would really want to kill him with my own hands!"
"Keep calm You have to keep calm. It's only if you remained calm that you can truly prove Yvonne's innocence and catch those people in one go!" Nigel held Minerva's hand to encourage her.
"Don't worry, dear!" Minerva said firmly.
Noon came very quickly. That man gave Minerva a call as promised. Very quickly, both of them arrived at a restaurant near the hospital for lunch. That man was truly happy during lunch. He listened as the woman poured her heart out and found out that the woman's relationship with her boyfriend was already strained and the woman was very miserable. He learned a lot about the woman. He learned that the woman was actually from out of town. She did not let this matter known publicly in the city she was living in and chose to come to South City because she was thinking that nobody would find out about it like that.
"Where...are you staying now?" the doctor asked Minerva.
Minerva handed the man the address of the hotel she was staying at." Here. I'll be waiting here. I'll wait until the test result for my boyfriend and that child comes out. I'll only leave then. Otherwise, I'll be really worried. I have been loving that man for so many years, but he actually could have a child with someone else behind my back?"
The man comforted the woman in a proper manner. "Don't be sad yet. Just wait for the result to be out."
"Mm-hmm." The woman drank a little. She kept drinking while crying.
It was red wine, but it was still alcohol. On top of that, the woman was sad, so it was even easier for her to get drunk. After a few glasses, when the woman stood up and said goodbye to him, she was a little dizzy when she walked.
"I'll take you back to the hotel!" The man wrapped his arm around the woman's shoulder, got out of the restaurant, and hailed a cab. The man then took the woman straight to the hotel that she was staying in.
It was an incomparably luxurious hotel. At a glance, it just looked like a place the rich would be staying in. As soon as they entered the door, they were questioned in all sorts of ways. Fortunately, the woman was still conscious. After she spoke to the doorman, he reluctantly let the man in. The man helped the woman to the door of the suite that she was staying in. Then, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
'You're finally here, Doctor Cruz!" said a man coldly from inside the suite.
Chapter 2798 Doctor Cruz was stunned at first, and then he asked while stammering,' What... What do you want to do?"
Marcus sneered. "What do we want to do? You have to tell US what you have done during this period of time then!"
The doctor was still very stubborn. "Are you guys kidnapping me? You'll never be about to leave if you kidnapped me at such a high-end hotel. You guys are breaking the law. Hurry up and let me go! otherwise. I'll call the police!"
"Alright. I'll give you a phone. Call the police now!" Marcus handed a phone to the doctor.
The doctor was stunned. "Are you...are you not scared that I'll call the police?"
Marcus sneered again, and then he strangled the man’s neck and said viciously, "You dared to falsify the result of a DNA test. How many years of imprisonment do you think you'll get if I call the police?"
The man immediately got so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. "You... you guys...you guys have already found out? How did you find out? That woman...that woman...did not look a single bit like how she originally looked. Her voice is also not similar. You guys..."
The man's face turned completely red from being suffocated. In the end, he was not able to say anything anymore.
"Marcus, don't be rash. Hurry up and let him go! If you don't let him go, he'll be strangled to death by you! Marcus!" Minerva persuaded him.
Only then did Marcus let go of his grip. The doctor sat on the floor and panted heavily. It took him a while before he was able to breathe normally.
"Minerva, call the police immediately!" Marcus immediately said to her.
After that, he looked at the man again and said slowly and clearly, "Listen up! After I called the police, not only will you lose your permanent position at this hospital, you won't be able to find another job in the medical field anymore from now on. That's the lighter punishment. You still have to be imprisoned! You know how influential the Shaw family is. If I, Marcus Shaw, want you to stay longer in prison and want you to rot in there, don't you ever think about coming out of prison anymore in this lifetime. Also, I will order those people and ask them to take extra care of you in there!"
Marcus had never been such a vicious person. However, at that moment, when he saw that doctor, he desperately wanted to kill him.
The doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt before Marcus. "It turns out that you're Master Marcus.J'm sorry, Master Marcus. I...I had no idea that it was you..."
"You had no idea?" Marcus sneered. "How could you possibly have no idea? If you don't know who I am, why would you take such a huge risk? Tell me, are you from the same gang as them?"
"No...I can't tell you...l can't tell you." The doctor sat on the floor with a long face.
"Minerva, call the police!" Marus ordered.
The doctor suddenly knelt before Marcus and started crying. "I'm begging you, Master Marcus. I'm begging you. Don't call the police. If you call the police, my job would be gone, my family would be finished, and I would be finished. Don't call the police. I'm begging you."
"Since you don't want me to call the police, then tell me everything honestly! I promise you that I'll protect you and I won't expose you!" At that juncture, Marcus could only make a promise to the doctor. Even though he hated the doctor very much.
”Are...are you being serious?" asked the doctor.
Marcus sneered. "Since when have I not kept my word!"
"Alright...alright. I'll tell you!" The doctor made up his mind and started telling Marcus everything.
The doctor's name was Hugh Cruz. His family had been poor since he was a child. With great difficulty, he finally got into medical school.
When he was studying, his family was so poor that he could not afford to eat or dress better. Therefore, any girls at school who were slightly better simply would not take a fancy to him. After he returned to the city, in order to keep staying in South City, he married a virgin who was eight years older than him. Not only was that woman older than her, but that woman was very ugly- Her face was covered with freckles and she was very fat. What made her even uglier was that she had little hair.
Chapter 2799 Hugh almost became impotent while facing such a woman. He had to pinch his nose to do the deed every time. However, he could not get a divorce. Just like that, he put up with his wife and spent more than ten years with her.
Gradually, he went from being a young man to a man that had a good temperament and status. However, who would have known that the woman living in his house was old and hideous? Who would have known that a useless person like him had ordinary needs? Not only did he have the usual needs, but his eyes would also even glow when he saw beautiful women. However, he was working as a laboratory technician. Therefore, he would hardly meet any beautiful women.
Just three months ago, he suddenly met a beautiful woman at the entrance of the hospital who initiated a conversation with him. One thing led to another, and both of them ended up in bed together. When Hugh woke up the next day, his nudes were already taken by someone and the person even took pictures of them while they were doing the deed.
'Who was the person who took pictures of you guys?” Marcus asked.
Hugh searched his memory. "It was a middle-aged woman. She looked fierce and didn't look like a good person."
A middle-aged woman who looked fierce? Marcus was reminded of the woman who appeared in Mila's courtyard and urged Mila to do a DNA test. It was her! It was actually her! It looked like Mila had long been targeted!
"All of you have already discussed and agreed a long time ago that someone would urge Mila to do a DNA test when you’re on duty. Is that correct?" Marcus asked.
It was only at that moment that Marcus truly realized it. It turned out that someone had already played a trick on this aspect! How disgusting!
They absolutely deserved to be damned! However, at that moment, he still held back his anger and asked Hugh the question very calmly.
Hugh nodded. "I didn't have a choice. I know that this is a big taboo. As long as I've done it once, as long as I'm caught, not only would I be fired but would be imprisoned as well. However, I ...they had my nudes in their hands. Also, the pictures of me doing the deed with that woman were taken very clearly. If they were to spread those pictures, I would be finished for the rest of my life. I'm dead no matter what anyway. If I choose to cooperate with them, I might still have a way out, so I ...chose to cooperate with them."
"Have you ever thought that by doing so, you would cause a person to not be able to go home, you would cause that woman to be misunderstood by others, and you would lead that woman to lose the last hope to continue living?" At that moment, Marcus finally burst out in a rage. He picked Hugh up and threw him to the wall fiercely!
"Marcus! You...you can't. You can't hit him. If you hurt him, well be exposed. We still can't be exposed now. Marcus, calm down!" Minerva immediately stopped him.
Only then did Marcus hold himself back.
"Listen to me carefully. We have dirt on you now. This matter of yours would be exposed sooner or later. If Mila and her parents get their test done at another place, you will be caught immediately. You will still have to go to prison if that's the case. The only chance for you to atone is to pretend that you don't know anything. If you dare to not cooperate with me, you, your family, and also your children..." Marcus, who had never threatened someone else before, was doing such a thing at that moment.
The man nodded like a chicken pecking on grains. "I know, I got it, I understand!
Only then did Marcus say, "Minerva, let's go!"
After they left, Minerva asked him. "Marcus, where...are we going?"
'We're going to Yvonne's parent's house. I want to meet Yvonne!" Marcus said calmly.
Chapter 2800 When Marcus arrived at Yvonne's parents' house, he heard that it was filled with joy and laughter even before he entered.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, and then he heard a voice shout in surprise, "Dad, Mom, could it be Marcus? I miss him so much.
All of you don't get up. I'll go get the door. I'll go!"
Immediately after that, he heard someone running over with a spring in her step. The door opened. Marcus was truly stunned by the woman who appeared in front of him.
"Yvonne...Yvonne, is that you? My Yvonne, you're finally back." At that moment, Marcus was not acting. He was really showing his true feelings. He missed Yvonne too much. He had been dreaming almost every day and he was always able to see that face. Even though Yvonne, the one who was standing in front of Marcus at that moment, has a slightly stiffened face, she was still that Yvonne whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. Marcus' eyes were reddened.
"Yvonne...my Yvonne, you're finally back.” The man had a catch in his throat and his voice was incomparably hoarse.
Yvonne also had tears welled up in her eyes. "Darling, I...I miss you so much that I could die. I thought that you don't want me anymore. I didn't dare to see you for so many days. Oh...darling."
Darling? Marcus, who was originally showing his true feelings, was suddenly stunned. Immediately after that, an incomparable disgust emerged in his heart. Under usual circumstances, she would call him Marcus or the man named Shaw!
Marcus was only stunned for a second. After that, he put Yvonne in his arms. "As long as you're back. As long as you're back. We...our whole family has been waiting for you for so many years. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart and the day that we have been waiting for finally came."
"That's right, darling. I love you to the moon and back. I have been thinking of you every hour, every minute, and every second of every day.
Master Marcus...you have no idea. All these years, no matter how much I've suffered, I kept thinking that you're still in this world and I would then have faith to keep living. Darling.-.you're here. I don't ever want to leave you anymore. Darling, hurry up and take me back to our house.
I miss you and I miss our house. That house is filled with memories of our love. Darling..."
She kept calling him darling. She just kept calling him darling. Even Yvonne's parents felt strange when they heard it, let alone Marcus, who had goosebumps all over his body. Since when has their Yvonne become so dramatic and such a sweet talker? Why did that feel so awkward?
Marcus was feeling even more uncomfortable. However, he had to endure it.
He coaxed Yvonne softly. "Baby, I'm here to take you back to our house today. However, we have to have dinner at your parents' place before going back. Alright?"
"It's not alright!" Yvonne immediately acted like a spoiled child with tears in her eyes.
Marcus coaxed her patiently. "Look at you. They are your parents. I said we're going to stay back to accompany them, but you said no instead."
"You're so annoying. I've already kept them accompanied for a long time, but I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you very much. I miss our house very much, so I just..." Yvonne spoke haltingly.
"Come on. Let's sit down and have dinner with your parents. We'll go home after dinner, alright?" Marcus asked.
Yvonne nodded. "Mm-hmm. Alright."
She then held Marcus' hand and sat in the middle of the couch. Only then did Marcus realize that all of the Yates family were present.
Yvonne's parents, Kingston's parents, and also Kingston were present. 1 "Why is one person missing?" Marcus immediately asked. It was Eevonne.
