“What?” Sebastian thought he had heard wrong. “Give me 50,000 USD! I would guarantee not to harass the Lynn family again.” Sabrina had a calmness in her tone as if she was ready to accept death.Sebastian was so angry, he laughed.‘She truly understood how to play along.’“Who was the one who promised me yesterday that she would never ask for money again?” He asked her mockingly. “Do you think a tainted woman like me, who had played hard to get with you several times, would have any integrity left?” She answered mockingly. Sebastian was speechless.He had almost forgotten how shameless she could be. He ruthlessly sneered at her, “If I could get you out of prison, don’t you think I could send you back in?”Sabrina was speechless. She knew that she would only lose if she were to compete with Sebastian in terms of ruthlessness.However, she needed to think of a way to obtain the 50,000 USD. She could not let her mother’s grave be dug up. “That’s right.” She lowered her g
When she heard the news, Sabrina suddenly felt her heart ached with sorrow. Sebastian and Sabrina were husband and wife, but they were like strangers. It so happened that the person Sebastian was about to be engaged with was her enemy. Yes!It’s her enemy!Sabrina still did not know the cause of her mother’s death. She wanted to investigate, but she did not even have the money to travel home, and she was pregnant with a child.There was nothing she could do now. She could only endure. Jade walked hurriedly over to Lincoln and grabbed his hand with great excitement. “Lincoln, was what you said true? Sebastian would have an engagement party with Selene? Shouldn’t both parents from each family have a meet-up first? Sebastian’s grandfather and father have accepted Selene? They didn’t mind that Selene was adopted?”When she heard the word “adopted” being mentioned, Sabrina’s sorrow in her heart grew. Selene and Sabrina were both raised in the Lynn family.Selene was adopted
Sabrina’s bedroom was in a mess.As the door opened, a large duffel bag that was left unzipped could be seen. The clothes were scattered messily in the duffel bag and on the bed in a way that looked like a stall at the flea market. Sebastian took a closer look at it, and the clothes were either incredibly cheap or worn out like old rags.With the room in such a mess, could it be that Sabrina had run away with the 50,000 USD he had given her?Sebastian’s gaze remained cool and calm. He closed the door, picked up his keys, and drove straight to the hospital where his mother was.Sabrina was not at the hospital. Sebastian took out his phone and dialed Sabrina’s number.He could probably tolerate her if she deceived him, but deceiving his mother that had only two months of life expectancy left, was pushing his limits! When the time comes, even if he had to have a bloodbath in South City, he would still capture Sabrina back. However, the phone only rang once, and Sabrina had alre
Sabrina was stunned. It just occurred to Sabrina that today was Sebastian and Selene’s engagement party.As early as the day before, Sabrina had heard Lincoln mention it when she went to the Lynn family house to return the money.She saw Selene wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, a diamond necklace around the neck, diamond earrings, and a flower crown on her head.Selene was as beautiful as an angel from the heavens. Selene was indeed the main character today. Unlike her, what was she even doing here?She looked at what she was wearing─ a white blouse covered in cinder block dust and a black skirt that was scratched up and covered in lint balls. Was she here to beg for food?‘What kind of ideas did Sebastian have?’‘What did Selene and his engagement party have to do with her, and why ask her here to make a fool of herself?’A wave of anger surged to Sabrina’s heart.Sabrina looked at Selene with a calm but sad expression. “Yes, what am I doing here?”“You! Sabrina Sco
Sabrina stood frozen and was dumbfounded. “What…What did you say?”Even though she had always been calm and indifferent when she faced with everything, she was shocked to the core when she heard what Sebastian said.“Woman! You have delayed things long enough!” Sebastian had never intended to explain to Sabrina. He forcefully dragged her by her arm into the deeper end of the restaurant.Behind him was a stunned Nigel─ the person who had just driven Sabrina here from the construction site and pretended to be Sabrina’s partner. Nigel held his forehead while he fumbled to take his phone out and nervously dialed a number. Soon, the person on the other end picked up his call.“Zayn, I may be dead soon.” Nigel’s voice quivered.Zayn, who was driving, teased and asked, “What happened? Master Nigel, don’t tell me that you have already gotten with the girl you abducted an hour ago, and she almost took your life in the process?”“I am in no mood to joke! That person was Sebastian’s woman
The woman in front of him had taken off the tattered pencil skirt and the white blouse. She had changed into a wedding dress and wore crystal heels.The height of the pair of crystal heels was ten centimeters. Donning the heels, Sabrina seemed even taller, despite the fact that she was already 170 centimeters tall. Besides, the heels accentuated her well-proportioned long legs.She had only changed her clothes and had not applied make-up yet.The way she looked without make-up was enough to stun Sebastian. She had a natural sense of coldness that she was not aware of, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. After having this exquisite wedding dress on, her beauty became even more effortless and unrestrained. She looked right into his eyes with an innocent and cold look in her eyes, but did not say a word.Sebastian felt a sudden burst of anger in his heart without knowing why.His voice was cold with a tinge of hoarseness. “What were you up to this morning? D
Sabrina instantly understood everything.It turned out that it was Grace who specially arranged this. Grace had told her a few days ago that she would give her a surprise.Sabrina suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.No matter how Sebastian treated her, Grace was the only warmth in Sabrina’s life in this cold world. Grace only had two months to live, so for the sake of Grace, Sabrina had to cooperate with Sebastian and put on a full show.“Thank you, mom. I like this surprise very much. Mom, look, this is the wedding dress Sebastian had prepared for me. Does it look good?” Sabrina lifted a corner of her wedding dress and asked.Grace surveyed the dress a few times, and then she began to tear up. “Sabbie, I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful with make-up on. You and Sebastian are truly a match made in heaven.” Grace was grinning from ear to ear. What she said was not false.It was not only Grace who felt that Sabrina and Sebastian were a match made in heaven, but the
The man on the other end of the line, Hayes, was a thug that worked this part of South City. All the dirty jobs before and after Sabrina’s imprisonment were operated entirely by Hayes. The Lynn family had engaged with Hayes more than once. Selene thought she might as well go big this time.The Lynn family did not want to take Sabrina’s life before Selene and Sebastian’s wedding initially. They were afraid it would cause a huge trouble, and the wedding would be affected, but there was also another reason. Selene wanted to personally deliver the news to Sabrina that all the happiness she got was exchanged with Sabrina’s body. Selene wanted to make Sabrina furious. However, Selene could not care any less now. She wanted Sabrina to die!She wanted her dead immediately. On the other end, Hayes asked for ten million dollars at one go.Selene was shocked, “Hayes! Your appetite is too big, no?”Hayes, however, let out a peal of wicked laughter. “I know who the person you wanted
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
