Her daughter had already gone through so much suffering. She could not watch as Sabrina became the prey to being ganged up against by so many people. N o!
Gloria immediately called Marcus.
Meanwhile, Marcus was on the phone with Yvonne. " Yvonne, don't be mad. Once everything is over, I'll take you to Hong Kong for a trip and you can shop until you drop, okay?"
Yvonne snorted. "How could I not get mad? Say, what's wrong with your grandpa? He just abandons his own kin and tortures them with everything he can think of. So, does he just like people better when they are not actually related to him? I think that your grandpa is really the most righteous man when it comes to his family, since he doesn't treat his own better than the others! Mm-hm! Your grandpa is truly one capable man that could bring justice to the world!" Yvonne mocked sarcastically.
Her words rendered Marcus speechless with shame. Indeed, Yvonne had been speaking the truth. His grandfather had become a fool for the past six years. H e first mistaken Selene as his granddaughter and treated someone who was not related to him like a treasure while treating the person who was actually related to him like garbage.
"That's it. I have to go now. I'm going shopping with Ruth today," Yvonne said before adding, "Remember to come pay the bills and pick us up later!"
After hearing all the things that Yvonne had to say, Marcus came close to thinking that he had no chance with her. In the end, Yvonne's attitude shifted abruptly. How could Marcus not be excited about it? H e was so overwhelmed with joy that he almost jumped from his seat. After calming down, he said to Yvonne," Go shop, babe. Even better, buy the entire mall. Don't worry about money. You have your husband here to back you up."
"Who's my husband?? I'm hanging up!" Yvonne hung u p shyly. 1
Marcus received a call from his aunt not thirty seconds after Yvonne hung up.
