I could care less if he had stolen every material possession from me and my parents, but why had he taken their lives? I should not have loved him! Marcus Mo raised his head and gave me a light glance. \"Finally, you showed up.” His eyes were full of fatigue. He used to always pay attention to how he looked, but now he had a stubble and his hair seemed greasy. Oh, definitely. He\'s been busy killing my parents. \"What were you going to do if I didn\'t show up? Do you want to kill the rest of my relatives? Are you going to kill every last one of my cousins?” I looked scarlet, shaking with anger. “Marcus Mo, you know I loved you so much. Why are you so cruel to me? Why did you kill my parents? Why? Aren’t you afraid to go to hell after you die? You’ve done so many bad things, that’s surely where you’re headed after I kill you!\" The only man I ever loved, has now killed my parents, what a ridiculous and terrible ni
The closer I got, the more uneasy my heart was. Marcus Mo would have lost so much blood by now, and there was no one here to help him. Is he dead? The elevator suddenly stopped. No matter what I pressed, there was no response! No, the elevator can\'t break down now! Marcus Mo will die! Outside, vaguely came the sound of high-heeled shoes on the ground. I beat the elevator door. \"Help! Help, I’m stuck in the elevator!” Frantically, I pressed the emergency button. A female voice came through the speaker overhead. \"Sarah, what are you doing here?” It was Maureen. Great, now only she was in the position to help me. The elevator suddenly lurched, and I fell, but managed to say to Maureen, \"Help Marcus, he is bleeding.\" The security control room was just beside the door of the elevator in the floor I was currently at. It was a few floors below the penthouse where Johann’s office was. The elevator door opened. \"Wha
A hard slap hit me in the face. Maureen pushed me and slammed the door in my face. I stepped back, dejected and unsure of what to do next. I just wanted to see Marcus and apologize to him. I wanted to make sure he’s okay. I hoped he understood that I wasn’t thinking clearly. The door opened and Maureen came out. \"Sarah, I could have you arrested right now.” “I feel bad about what I did, Maureen.” “Is that really why you came here?\" “I want to ask him what really happened to my parents. What happened to the company.” \"Please let me in. I won’t bother you after this.\" I looked at Maureen with and begged her for the first time. Mo Maureen whispered in my ear. \"Let you in? So you can tell him what I did? Or do you want to play the recording to him?\" She laughed as though she had just heard the funniest joke. “Look, big sister. He isn’t even going to hear what you have to say to him. He’s sleeping now. Let him r
My jaw dropped down. Did he actually fear for his safety? Was he really scared of me? “Or will you leave, and come back later and finish me off? Will you put a pillow on my face so I’d suffocate?” “Sarah, leave. You should be thankful I didn’t call the police. From now, on I want nothing to do with you. You’re free to marry him if you want. I’m sure you’ve been dying to divorce me. What a fool I was for even thinking he would at least give me a chance to explain. He was blinded by his love for her. I wanted him to answer the question I asked him when he wanted me to donate my bone marrow to Maureen. Marcus Mo, I\'ll ask you a question. My decision will depend on your answer. Before we were married, you treated me much better, so I assume now that you pretended to be nice to me. Was there ever a moment when you sincerely liked me? Before you started hating me, I mean. “You never answered my question before I ran away from you. I wa
Born is a very delicate and beautiful girl. She very strongly resembled her father, but unlike her father, she made me very happy. I only have painful memories of her father, but my daughter is a little bundle of joy. So that’s what I named her. Joy. I found a job in the fashion industry, and my life was full but very stable. I have always liked fashion design. It’s what I had majored in, plus I’ve been.designing clothes, as a hobby. But in order to marry Marcus Mo, I had to give up all the opportunities that came my way. Now, finally, I have the chance to regain my dream, and I will not give up on it again. I began to make my own designs, as a side-project. Tom was very supportive of me, and he was a big factor in my newfound confidence. I became very competitive and joined competitions. In the design circle, I was one of the up-and-coming new names. One of my wedding dresses even won the first prize of the international wedding
So Marcus Mo is the anonymous collector. But how did he get his hands on this necklace? I shrank back to my seat, and made every effort to be invisible. He stood on the stage with a bored expression on his face. I guess even to this day, only Maureen can get him to smile. Isn’t he supposed to make an effort to look pleasant, at least for this event? I didn\'t hear a word of what he said on stage. He spoke very softly. He didn’t seem comfortable standing there in front of people. \"For this necklace previously owned by the late Mrs. Tang of Down’s the auction officially starts. The reserve price is two million yuan,\" the host said in a loud voice. If I ask for a price, everyone will look at me. And I don\'t want to be seen by Marcus Mo at all. After thinking about it, I looked at an elderly gentleman sitting next to me and whispered to him, \"Sir, can you help me shout the price? My voice is a bit hoarse today.\" To my re
Payback? Did he mean he wanted to put me in jail for stabbing him three years ago? I was pretty sure that it was him who owed me, Sarah Tang, big-time. He’d done so much to hurt me. I wanted to say to him, That’s rich, coming from you. Sure, I almost killed you, but you hurt me so many times for the sake of your lover. I mean your little sister. I mean, your little sister who also happens to be your lover. Disgusting. ”Look, you got the wrong person,” I said to him in English, and smiled. I spoke in broken Chinese, “My name is Sophia. I\'m a Chinese American designer.\" I smiled and made a little bow, the way a westerner might bow. I politely retracted my hand and left him dazed. I went straight back to the apartment. When I got to the door, I found that it was open. I remember locking it before I left. My heart beat wildly. I grabbed a vase from the common hallway and quietly walked to the door. What if the intruder is Marcus Mo,
\"Sarah, are you crazy?\"? You know that Marcus Mo used that necklace to lead you out. You still choose to stay here. Haven’t you moved on from him yet?\" \"How can you say that? He’s been dead to me for a long time!\" Though I vehemently denied it, I knew in my heart that what Tom was saying was true. I knelt down beside him and hugged him. Tom put his hand on my shoulders, pushed me back gently and said to me in a deep voice: \"Sarah, listen to me. Since Marcus Mo has found you, he will find Joy sooner or later. Can you guarantee that he will not try to take her away? Will you trust him to protect Joy from his crazy sister?\" I said nothing, but this was exactly why I didn’t take her with me. I left her there with Tom to keep her safe. This child is my whole life. I can\'t let them do anything. \"Tom, give me half a month. I\'ll leave as soon as I get the necklace. If I don\'t get it by then, I\'ll go back to America. However, a
