“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 gaze and smiled in a desolate manner. “You could get me killed as easily as you could squeeze an ant to death.”

After saying that, she pulled open the door and went out.

The man stopped her, “What do you want to do?”

“You have no right to ask me,” said Sabrina.

The man closed in on her, “I had already forgotten. Selene said you are in the night business, right? I’m warning you, during your contract with me, don’t engage in dirty and unpleasant dealings, or else...”

Sabrina suddenly erupted. “Or else! Or else! Or else! Do I owe you, Sebastian Ford? You said I was trying to cheat you out of your money but did I actively seek you out?”

“I only agreed to make a deal with you because I had received favors from your mother in prison and wanted to repay her.”

“That’s all!”

“After I got out of prison, I got a job with great difficulties, but you ruined it when I was only one day away from getting my paycheck.”

“I didn’t even have enough money for the bus fare, so what would you want me to live on?”

“You also heard it at Lynn’s. They were the ones who insisted that I stay. I didn’t even think about harassing them. They have financed me before, and now they want me to pay 50,000 USD back to them in one day! If I don’t pay, my mother’s grave would be dug out!”

“You tell me, what would I use to pay them?”

Sebastian was shocked.

She had always been as cool as a cucumber.

He never thought that she would explode.

After she finished shouting, she ridiculed herself and said, “What am I doing shouting at you? Asking for pity? In your eyes, I’m only a plaything that you could step on whenever you like. If I ask pity from you, then isn’t that even worse? I’m so stupid.”

With that said, she ran back to her room, quickly packed her clothes in a duffel bag, and walked out.

She then said flatly, “Mr. Ford, I want to terminate our deal.”

“Unilateral termination?”

She replied, “I know, I must pay for the early termination fees. I don’t have money, so please give me one week, and I would be back to accept anything you wish to do to me.”

The man asked with interest, “What do you plan to do for a week?”

“First, I would sell my blood at the black market. Once I have earned enough travel expenses, I would return to my hometown to visit my mother’s grave. After I come back, you could do whatever you want with me, it wouldn’t matter anymore. If you’re worried, you could send someone to follow me.”

Having said that, she pulled open the door to leave.

However, her arm was grabbed by the man.

Sebastian handed her a thick envelope, his voice as cold as ever, “50,000 USD, but there’s no second time! Remember to take care of my mother tomorrow as usual.”

She looked at him in a daze and did not respond for a long time.

She then took the money, turned around, and ran into her room. As soon as the door was closed, her tears came pouring down.

Her duffel bag was dropped at his feet. He flipped the content and found one or two changes of extremely cheap clothes, toothpaste, and a bar of soap.

There was also 20 or 30 USD worth of change.

Sabrina cried the whole night. Her eyes were completely red when she woke up the next day.

Fortunately, Sebastian left early for the office to settle some business matters, so he did not see her. Sabrina tidied up and went to the hospital to visit Grace.

“Sabbie, why are your eyes so red?” Grace asked as she was concerned.

“Nothing, Mum.” Sabrina’s eyes got red again.

She did not wish to let Grace see her in tears. She turned around and ran out.

Grace made a call to Sebastian, “Son, you’re busy with work every day. Sabbie is the one that has accompanied me every morning. What a great daughter-in-law. I don’t know how many more days I have left. I hope to attend your wedding ceremony soon…”

Grace thought that Sabrina was upset because she and Sebastian did not have a wedding ceremony.

Which girl did not look forward to the moment they walked down the aisle in their wedding dress?

Grace was the same. She had lived her life and will be passing soon, but she did not have the chance to wear a wedding dress.

Grace wanted to make up for her regrets by giving Sabrina what she did not have.

“Mom, you’re still sick. Sabrina and I should not have something grand.” Sebastian persuaded his mother.

“Son, there is no need to have a grand one. It would be perfect as long as there is a ceremony.”

Sebastian was speechless.

After a moment, he answered in a deep voice, “As you wish.”

Grace immediately felt comforted and said, “There is no need to choose another day, the day after tomorrow would be perfect. Let the wedding company and hotel determine the venue and prepare a small ceremony.”

The day after tomorrow.

Indeed, it would be too rushed for ordinary people. However, if Sebastian wanted to have a wedding, forget the day after tomorrow, even having it tomorrow would be a possibility.

“Alright, Mom,” answered Sebastian.

As Grace hung up the phone, Sabrina returned to the room after having her emotions managed and smiled at Grace. “Mom, I was down with flu the past two days, so I kept tearing and snorting. Sorry that you had to see that.”

“Sabbie, I want to give you a surprise,” said Grace as she held Sabrina’s hand.

“What surprise?” Sabrina asked immediately.

“It’s a surprise. Of course, I couldn’t tell you.” Grace teased her and then urged her to leave. “Don’t just stay here keeping an old lady such as myself company. Go for a facial and spa these two days, and buy some new clothes for yourself. Quickly, go.”

Sabrina knew she had no money, but she could not say anything else.

However, this was a good opportunity for her to search for a job. She needed to land a job quickly to become self-reliant.

In the afternoon, Sabrina went to the Lynn’s to return the money.

While she waited for the bus, she overheard a few passers-by having an enthusiastic discussion. “It’s so good to be rich. You could hold a wedding in one day.”

“Is it hard? Everything is so ready-made now─ to organize a wedding in a day, wouldn’t it be easy?”

“It could be an engagement ceremony, right? For a family like the Ford’s, how could they keep such a low profile if it’s an actual wedding?”

“I also think it would be an engagement party and not a wedding reception. A wedding should be grander.”

“Tsk tsk, it must be nice for the rich─ for an event as big as an engagement party, they only need a day to prepare.”

The few people waiting for the bus were discussing the wedding of the Ford family with great interest.

‘Ford Family?’

‘Could it be someone related to Sebastian?’

After last night, Sabrina’s perception of Sebastian had changed a little. She felt like he was not such a cold and heartless man.

The bus arrived, Sabrina got on and headed to the Lynn family house.

Seeing that Sabrina managed to put 50,000 USD on the coffee table in a day, Jade was so furious, and steam almost came out of her eyes, ears, nose and mouth. “Did you rob somebody?”.

“This had nothing to do with you. Please write me a note now, and we no longer owe each other anything.” Sabrina handed Jade a piece of paper and a pen.

Jade knocked them off her hands. “Since the money came so easily to you, you certainly couldn’t just pay us back 50,000 USD. Eight years, half a million is not much, right?”

Sabrina was speechless.

At that time, Lincoln entered and shouted excitedly, “Jade, Selene! Great news! The day after tomorrow, Sebastian and Selene would have their engagement party!”

    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 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?

    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!

    Why would she be in the bedroom?A bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Sebastian’s eyes.After the wedding, he received an urgent phone call from Old Master Ford─ Henry Ford─ asking him to return.Old Master Ford was 96 years old, and even though he had retired from his position as the head of the Ford family for almost 40 years, the Old Master was still an authoritative presence in the Ford family.Similar to a king’s father. A month or so ago, when Sebastian took control of the Ford Group in one fell swoop and eradicated all the hidden troubles, the old man gave him an order.“Sebastian, since you have eradicated all the hindrances, then you should not take out the ones that are left behind anymore. If you could promise grandpa, I would never interfere with your affairs in the future.” Henry said. It was partly an order but also partly a plea.Sebastian replied with a cold and dark expression, “Yes!”Sebastian took charge of the Ford’s in the past two months, and the old man

    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.

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.

She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently.

    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?
