Grace held on to Sabrina’s hand, tears suddenly flowing as she said weakly, “Sabbie, you’re finally here?”“Mother…” Sabrina sobbed quietly, “I’m sorry mother, I had some things to deal with today, that’s why I’m late.”She had rushed over from the construction site, only to be confronted by Lincoln at the bus stop. She had walked a distance after that in a daze, before only getting onto the bus at the next stop.That was why she was late to her visit.Knowing that Grace’s illness was worsening, Sabrina wanted nothing more than to stay by Grace’s side, but she could not lose her job either. No matter how exhausting and tedious that job was, it was still work.As a woman who had only recently gotten out of jail, it was very difficult to find a job, so she could not give this up. She crawled over to Grace’s side as she repeated over and over, “I’m sorry mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”“I’m fine, Sabbie. I know that you’re a hardworking child. You can’t lose your job. A woman should
As they headed out of the hospital, Sebastian went toward his own car. His steps were large, catching up to Sabrina in just a few paces. Yet he did not even look at her as he maintained his pace to the car.Sebastian was an extremely logical man.He believed only in what he saw himself, and what he heard.Sabrina had definitely pushed Selene after unleashing a malicious rant at her. He had heard her say from her own mouth that she wanted to kill the Lynn family.Sabrina did not spare Sebastian a glance either. As she passed Sebastian’s car, she did not even turn to look.Kingston, who had been by the car, was uncertain when he saw Sabrina.His lips had twitched, almost asking Sabrina to get into the car by habit.He had even almost called out ‘Madam Ford’, but as he watched Sebastian enter the car, wearing a solemn expression, Kingston stopped himself from saying anything.Kingston was similar to Grace in the fact that he too really wanted Sabrina to be Sebastian’s wife. Howeve
The postcard read, “Mr Ford, you have given me so many beautiful clothes. I’ve never put on such nice clothes my entire life. You have also given me such an expensive laptop, I really don’t know how to thank you.I want to give you something, but I’m a poor person.Even if I had money, I wouldn’t really know what you like. Your suits alone may be worth hundreds of thousands, more than a year of my salary. So, allow me to just give you something inexpensive and interesting.Looking at the color and style of these filters, I felt that they were quite suited to a man like you, mature and powerful. I don’t know if you will like it.If you don’t, remember to tell me. I will get you a new one.Cigarette filters aren’t worth a lot. However, you like smoking, and when you do, you tend to hold the smoke in your mouth before slowly blowing it out of your nose. If you smoke like that, the tar will easily get into your lungs.So, this filter is to protect your body.Even though you are
Sabrina had already fled far away at that point.She was drowning in self-mockery.Had she known, she would not have ordered the filters. She had asked someone to help buy them on her behalf. She was poor, but she had still spent over three hundred bucks on them. Yet, before they could even arrive, she had been chased out. Thinking about it, she thought that she was such a joke. Right now, the filters were probably in Sebastian’s hands. He was probably looking down on them, smiling coldly as he threw them off the balcony.Sabrina’s face turned bright red at the thought.She had just wanted to thank him for the beautiful clothes and the laptop.Now, she felt like she had been overthinking things, trying to show feelings toward someone that had never been interested.She returned to her motel with a head full of thoughts. Lying down with her clothes on, she was unable to sleep.Part of the reason was the filters, and the other half was because of Aunt Grace's illness.Her thoug
Sabrina immediately stood upright, when she saw who she had collided with. Her expression immediately turned cold. “I’m sorry!”Old Master Shaw scrutinised Sabrina with a disgusted look before he smiled coldly. “The last time I saw you, your face was thick with cheap makeup. This time, your entire body is filthy, your face is black and ugly. Who are you?”Sabrina could not be bothered to entertain him. He seemed to be a strict but kind person on the surface, but he had never been friendly to her at all. Instead, he was an extremely rude old man.She ignored Old Master Shaw, and tried to continue walking forwards. However, Old Master Shaw raised his walking stick to block her way.Sabrina asked coldly, “What are you doing?”“Answer my question!” The old master barked at Sabrina with an extremely oppressive tone.Suppressing her anger, Sabrina asked, “Mister, do I know you?”“Are you not Sebastian’s constant wife? The one that he bought for two months to fulfil his mother’s dying
She really did not want to waste her breath on anyone here.All she wanted to do was find out about Aunt Grace’s situation as soon as possible.Mindy got bored talking to Sabrina who wasn’t responding, and followed Old Master Shaw inside. Behind her, Marcus, who had just parked his car, walked over.Ever since Old Master Shaw had prohibited Marcus from meeting Sabrina, Marcus had not seen her. Meeting her again now, Marcus' heart was a mess.He felt sorry for Sabrina“Why…did you do this to yourself?” Marcus said pitifully.Sabrina said, “Mr Shaw, if you don’t want me to call the police, you best distance yourself from me!”Marcus was speechless. He hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, “Sabrina, I know you’re angry and I don’t blame you for it. After a few days, once everything with Madam Ford dies down, I will make arrangements for you.”Sabrina said nothing in response.Marcus hurried to follow Old Master Shaw and Mindy.Sabrina remained standing by the hospital e
Sebastian had a solemn expression. His manly bronze complexion carried a deep sense of sadness.But still, he did not allow himself to let out any emotion.With a face that seemed to be sad and tired, he looked at Sabrina, unmoving.Sabrina could not guess what Sebastian was thinking.She had always thought she was steady and impenetrable. But in front of him, she felt like a transparent piece of paper.Just like right now, he might have an aura of sadness around him due to his mother’s condition. He still did not let out any tears of pain, only suppressing his sadness inside himself.Outwardly, he still looked cold and dignified in his suit.But her?She was filthy, and her face was blackened. She had been either tricked by Selene, or mocked by Nigel, or even berated by Old Master Shaw. She had even been talked down to by Mindy.There was also Sebastian.Sabrina did not know how Sebastian was going to handle her after he had the freedom to do so.He had deep foundations, an
It was only when it was slightly past the time Sabrina was supposed to head back to work, did she leave the hospital.Thankfully, no one caused any trouble for the rest of the afternoon. When work was about to end, a designer who was helping the director to manage the department, called out to Sabrina. “Sabrina, from tomorrow onward, you can skip coming to the office for a week. Head to the construction site, we need people there.”Sabrina nodde. “Okay.”She was actually very willing to go to the construction site. The work there might be harder and more tiring, but it was not taxing to her heart.Besides, they gave huge portions of food at the site. As she had a child in her belly, she needed to eat a lot. However, if she went to the construction site, it meant she would not have the time to visit Aunt Grace in the afternoon.After leaving work, Sabrina immediately rushed to the hospital. She felt like since it was late, there would not be any guests visiting Aunt Grace. She lo
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
