‘You don’t even know who the father of the child in your belly is.‘And Sebastian, he should be getting engaged soon and then it won’t be long until he’s married to Selene. ‘Sabrina, you can’t long for him!’That afternoon, Sabrina sat at the cafe alone, staring into empty space, afflicted.The image of Sebastian would not leave her mind.However, what Sabrina did not realize was that , in the booth next to hers, concealed by a large pillar, sat Sebastian with a solemn look on his face.He had seen the smiles she shot Nigel clearly. As if by reflex, Sebastian clenched his fists and then relaxed them repeatedly. At the mere thought of it, he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles started to turn white.They had planned on officially separating the day after. Yet, even with the divorce looming, Sebastian was preoccupied with observing Nigel and Sabrina as they talked away.For the rest of the afternoon, the two simply sat there, unmoving.It was only when evening c
Selene looked at Sabrina arrogantly. “Tomorrow! I! Will be engaged to Sebastian! Look at yourself! You are just a phoney who shamelessly stole my husband for two months! Were you humiliated in public by Kenton? Good, you deserve that! I just hate that you actually injured that old fart, and even had Nigel to protect you!”“Sabrina, you can’t harm my husband anymore, so did you decide to cause Young Master Nigel trouble instead?”Even when faced with such provocation, Sabrina forced herself to calm down and smiled at Selene. “Congratulations on your engagement tomorrow, as the adopted daughter of the Lynn family, I will definitely be there tomorrow to show my support.”“How dare you!”“If you don’t leave right now, I swear that I’ll do it! I’ve already been forced into a corner by all of you. There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare do!” Sabrina glared at Selene intensely. “Tomorrow, at your engagement banquet, I’ll publically announce that the child in my belly is also Sebastian’s. Then you
Those who attended were all members of the upper echelons of South City.Among them were figures such as those from the Ford family, like Sebastian’s aunt as well as Nigel. However, Sebastian’s father and stepmother did not attend the ceremony as they were still overseas. Besides them, the Shaw and Smith families were present as well.As they were all families with a lot of prior history, Sebastian was forced to invite them at Old Master Ford’s vehement requests.If it had been up to him, Sebastian would not have invited anyone.In fact, he wouldn’t even have held a banquet, because his marriage with Selene was something personal between the two of them.Sebastian clearly knew that he was only marrying Selene because she had saved him once, as well as for the child in Selene’s belly.He did not love her at all.He would even feel intensely frustrated whenever he looked at the woman.However, to Selene, it was the greatest honor she had known.After the engagement, the entire u
“Alright,” Sabrina replied. From the end of the phone call, Sabrina’s voice sounded very gentle. “Where are we going, and where should I wait for you?”Nigel thought about it for a moment. “Wait for me at your company’s entrance.”“ I will.” Sabrina acted very submissively.Nigel ended the call right after their brief conversation.After hanging up, he exchanged a look with Mindy, drawing a smile from her. “Since you’ve shown me my rival, you’re telling me you want to choose me? Isn’t that right?” Mindy asked. Nigel only smiled coldly at this. “I can clearly distinguish between the type of girls for fooling around, and those for marrying and settling down with. If we were to marry, both our grandfathers would surely approve. I for one know my grandfather would be thrilled if that were to happen. After all, my cousin is already engaged, isn’t that right?”Mindy nodded in agreement. “That’s reasonable.”“However, you can’t stop me from playing around a little.” Nigel said, drunke
He had not sent her back to the Lynn family home.Did that mean she could finally stay in the same room as Sebastian, and start being a real couple?Hehe!Letting her imagination run wild, Selene happily got into Kingston’s car and left the restaurant.Sebastian, on the other hand, was driving slowly on the main road, without any destination in mind.Meanwhile, Sabrina had already arrived at her company. Just as she was about to call Nigel, he had already called over. “Sabrina, I’m quite busy over here, so I can’t pick you up. Can you get a ride and come over yourself?”Sabrina obediently replied, “Of course I can, Young Master Nigel.”Nigel heard Sabrina’s gentle voice, and slyly asked her, “You’d be so willing to treat me well? Then, would you be willing enough to do anything for me?”Sabrina’s smile seemed to grow even more gentle. “Young Master Nigel, are you suspicious of my sincerity? Let me say it again, I’m willing to do anything for you. I will do anything you ask me t
There were about twenty to thirty men in the room, but Sabrina only recognized Nigel and Zayn.The rest of them either had their hair dyed in colors that were so vivid and bright that it hurt the eyes, had piercings everywhere on their bodies, or were casually smoking cigarettes.Now noticing that someone had entered the room, they stared at Sabrina intently, not unlike a hunter observing his prey.Still, Sabrina struggled to make out a single face she knew out of all of them. In the same room, sitting opposite all the men were three women. These three women were dressed in very revealing and racy clothing. All they had on were single-shoulder tops and extremely short mini-skirts.As Sabrina looked around the room and studied the people in it, she felt like this situation was a lot worse than that time on the cruise.Without hesitation, she turned around to leave. However, when she tried to take the first step, one of the girls called out to her. “Yo, are you another colleague
He could not tolerate that!Nigel wanted Sabrina to witness firsthand how cruel he could be that day, as he definitely would not lose out to his cousin in that aspect!He looked at Sabrina with a sinister smile on his face.Sabrina’s voice wavered, but she managed to say, trembling, “I’m sorry, Young Master Nigel, but this kind of business isn’t for me. I’m sorry, I should never have confessed to you, I won’t cause you any more trouble ever again, goodbye!”Having said that, Sabrina turned around to leave.It only took her 2 steps to reach the doors that would take her out of the room, but for some reason, they would not open no matter what she did.Sabrina turned around in both shock and horror, looking at everyone in the room who had evil looks on their faces, clearly ridiculing her.Nigel maintained his cruel smile. “Entering is easy, but leaving will be hard.”“Is that so?” Sabrina's tone and expression suddenly changed, as she looked at Nigel calmly and quickly walked towa
Having stepped out of the room now, Sabrina made her way into the elevator, where she collapsed as it descended.The tears that were flowing down her face would not stop. Nigel had been the only remaining sliver of warmth in her life. Even in her wildest imaginations, Sabrina would never have thought that Nigel would treat her like that. When she walked past a rubbish bin, Sabrina threw out the syringe of chicken blood she held just now without stopping, with the same dispirited expression on her face.She felt very nauseous the moment she exited the club, and so vomited at a flower shrub that was hidden in a remote corner.As she cleaned herself up, without meaning to, she overheard someone talking. Sabrina looked over at the direction of the person she heard, and found a man in black clothes that was shrouded in the shadows, talking to someone on the phone. “Director Horst, are you sure that Conor boy is in the room on the top floor?”Sabrina could not make out what was being
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
