Hunter Shield stopped and looked down at the director. "Huh? Aren't you still alive? But my wife is really dead. You want to exchange her life for your social status and reputation? Do you deserve it? For everything you owe her, I'll make you pay back bit by bit!"The next day, regarding the director of the private hospital's indecent affair and his collusion with a medical company to get a lot of benefits on medical apparatus and instruments, news spread wildly and almost caused a turmoil in public opinion throughout the entire industry.The director became a person hated by everyone and was afraid to go out. His wife proposed a divorce, and his hair turned white in two days.The stock prices of the Young Corporation had still been going well the day before, but suddenly it had hit the lower limit on the day's opening. The stocks that had been absorbed in large quantities in the early stages were a massive sell-off. For a week, the market was rising in red but it couldn't save the
Boris Young stood at the edge of the sofa and could not decide whether to sit or not, a little embarrassed. Standing in front of Hunter Shield made him look like a subordinate who was doing a report.However, Hunter had not been in contact with the Young family for a long time, and the time of year made him look quite distant. Boris was embarrassed by Hunter's lukewarm attitude.Eve clenched her fists and sat intimately by Hunter's side. "But those shares... those are mine...""It doesn't matter. Anyway, you are a member of the Young family. You can take them back after getting through this." Hunter seemed to be very good-tempered, and no one could say that he had said or done anything improper.However, what Boris hadn't expected was that after these shares got mortgaged to Hunter, it was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. The stock price of the Young Corporation could not be saved at all. The money borrowed from Hunter was thrown into the sea like a stone, and even the ripple
Although Eve Young stayed in Hunter Shield's house, he forced her to dress like her sister, Emlyn Young.Emlyn was dead. Dressing like her was so stressful that Eve felt like she was living in a nightmare. She tried to pull some cheap tricks on Hunter and plead for him to stop tormenting her but it was to no avail. Hunter showed no mercy and grabbed her by her neck. "Save it. You have two options. Dress like her or get lost. Believe me, life can be so much worse than the days you've been spending in that tiny apartment of yours. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital..."Frightened by his threat, Eve started crying in a panic. "What do you want from me?"The next day, they arrived at the hospital for plastic surgery.Hunter took out a photo of Emlyn Young and shoved it in front of the surgeon, who was well-recognized as a top expert. "I want her exactly like this. Make sure you pay enough attention to all the details. Good work will be appreciated."Eve was sitting in silence. He
Eve tried her best to force out a smile but she looked too awkward and timid. "Hi, Trevor.""Bang!" Hunter slammed his hand on the table, making a huge sound. The chopsticks almost broke into halves. The only reason why he didn't slap Eve in the face was that she looked exactly like Emlyn after the surgery. "Why are you so useless?! All you need to do is greet him like Emlyn naturally. Do I have to teach you that as well?"Eve held her arms around herself, tearing up silently. She was almost relieved when Hunter told her to get lost. She ran upstairs immediately.Everything became clear to Trevor. He stood there thinking for a long time, then he eventually said, "Hunter, why don't we go on a vacation somewhere? We've been staying in Jin City for too long. I know you regret not taking Emlyn out to see the world."In fact, even Trevor didn't know why he had suggested that. He knew clearly that Hunter was sick but he didn't want to say it out loud. That was the least he could do as a
A year later, dressed like Emlyn Young in a T-shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of sneakers, Eve Young ran out of the house like a young lady. "Brother Hunter, wait for me!"Hunter Shield stood at the iron gate outside the garden. Seeing Eve running towards him, his eyes welled up. He waved at her and managed to speak in a cold voice, "Hurry up, otherwise I'll send you back."Eve knew that Hunter was not talking to her, but to the Emlyn in his memory. She knew exactly what to do as she had learned it the hard way. She ran to Hunter in a jumpy and innocent manner and faked a naive smile. "Look how fast I am! I guess that means you won't send me back."He stared at her for a few seconds, stunned, and became lost in thought.The memory was coming back to him. That was exactly how Emlyn had run to him in the past, cheerful with an unrestrained smile. He had wiped that smile from her face with all the things he had done wrong. He had turned her into a completely different person.Unable
Hunter felt like he had been struck by lightning as the man approaching was Sean Morris.The child was only one or two years old.The woman by his side looked so much like Emlyn. The only difference was that she was missing a mole by her eyebrow.All the signs looked extremely fishy, implying an evil scheme of Sean. Hunter was suddenly short of breath and couldn't help but tremble. He rushed towards them, ready to find out about the truth.Nothing could hold him back from getting to the bottom of it.After the initial shock, he soon pulled himself together. He decided that he couldn't shout at them to stop. It would only alert them and he was sure they would instantly run away.He had personally transported Emlyn's body back home and cremated it by himself. Besides, he had conducted a paternity test with the sample from the body and Boris Young.He was sure the woman he had cremated was Emlyn Young.It was possible that Sean loved Emlyn so much that he had found a substitute to
Emlyn Young had returned to her Tide Villa in An City.The child had already fallen asleep in the children's room. Emlyn was in her own room with Sean Morris holding her firmly. He pressed his palm on her back, trying to comfort her. "Emlyn, I'm here! Jenna is alright!"With his back against the wall, he let Emlyn hit her head against his body repeatedly, enduring all the pain she caused him.Emlyn had been pregnant with a pair of twins two years ago. She had lost one of the children due to a miscarriage, and normally the other one wouldn't have been able to survive. However, she had cried her heart out and kept begging him, "Brother Sean, I have done body checks after marriage. There is something wrong with my chromosomes. The doctor said that it'll be highly unlikely for me to get pregnant again. Please help me keep the baby!"He did not want her to take the risk. "You've already lost one child. It will kill you if you try to force the other child to stay alive.""No! No, it won
Sean Morris laid a thick quilt on the foam mat of the children's room. "Emlyn, let's sleep here with Jenna tonight. We'll protect her and she'll be so happy to see us when she wakes up tomorrow. What do you say?"Emlyn, you know, I can't live without you and Jenna. You've become an indispensable part of my life."Hearing Sean's soothing voice, Emlyn Young finally fell asleep. She huddled up in his arms, feeling more at ease than ever.Sean had always known that there would be a confrontation with Hunter when he had planned everything. He just hadn't expected that it would come so soon. He had never wanted to return to this country, but Jenna had been weak as a premature infant. She was almost two years old but she still couldn't walk. Moreover, she had developed an allergy abroad. They found out that she could only live in An City.He had wanted to take Emlyn away with him, but if anything happened to Jenna, Emlyn would only become even more ill.He simply gave up and tried to enj
