On his end, Sebastian was exceptionally calm, as if he had spent the whole afternoon sitting in his office. “Sabrina, where are you?”

Sabrina answered robotically, “Picking up Aino.”

“I might be home late tonight. Head home straight after you pick up Aino. Don’t wait for me for dinner,” Sebastian continued.

“Alright.” Sabrina tried her best to rein in her sobs, to make her voice sound calm.

But, on the other end, Sebastian could tell that her voice was far and distant. Like a gust of wind, soon to be blown far, far, away.

Sebastian: “…”

After a pause, he asked, “Did…did anything happen to you?”

Sabrina did not hide the truth either, saying, “Yes!” Then she continued. “We’ll talk when you get home tonight. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. You know I’m not very good at driving. Bye.”

With that, she ended the call swiftly, without an ounce of hesitation. After ending the call, she did not start the engine immediately. She sat in the car, staring ahead of her in a daze.

    She would resolve everything by that night. She did not want to drag on the issue any further. She wanted to cut off the injured limb before the wound festered. No matter how badly it hurt, she had to resolve the problem in the shortest time period possible. Her pride did not allow her to drag it on, not even for another day. At the thought of pride, her mind drifted to Holden. Recently, Holden had been causing trouble for Sean and his wife. In fact, Sabrina and Sebastian had long since guessed it was him, but they had yet to see him with their own two eyes. Today, when she finally saw him, there was an unspeakable sorrow in his heart. Holden’s features certainly carried an unparalleled hostility. But there was more sadness than anything else; there was extreme despair that tipped over into rage.Today, if Holden did not come in time and beat the man who flirted with her until he almost died, she would not know he was Lori’s simp. Otherwise, with the situation the way it was, her

    Hearing Sabrina shoot the question back at him, Nigel was stunned too. “It’s… I was not you? Then was it my cousin? But I don’t think my cousin would do something like this. Even if he wanted to transfer a million dollars to Minerva, he would ask Kingston to send the money directly to her, or give it to me.”Sabrina: “…”She was sure Sebastian did not transfer the money to Minerva. Suddenly, she remembered Holden telling her more than an hour ago when he left that he was going to visit his niece. Back then, Sabrina thought he was referring to Aino. Now she understood. Holden’s family name was Payne. So was Minerva’s. Minerva was Harry Payne’s daughter; then, that meant she was Holden’s niece, right? She said to Nigel over the phone, “It’s not your cousin or me either. I think… I know who it is.” On the other end, Nigel was quiet for a long time before asking, “Is it… Holden Payne?” Sabrina: “…” Nigel answered, “Rumors are flying that Holden has returned to South City, and he

    Nigel asked, “What… What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m hanging up now,” Sabrina replied.Nigel: “…”After ending the call, Nigel pondered her words for a moment but he still could not figure out what had happened. He intended to call Sebastian to ask him about this, but Nigel was terrified of his cousin. Even though the Ford Group looked after the Conor Group a lot, whether it was business or staffing issues, the Ford Group always looked out for them. Besides, Sebastian’s attitude toward Nigel was much better than before. But still, Nigel remained terrified of Sebastian; his fear of his cousin was etched into his bones. That was why he did not even dare call him. Nigel contemplated the issue for a while but failed to come up with any answers. He gave up, driving to a flyover in the bustling city center. Since Harry Payne’s daughter, Minerva, followed Sebastian, Sabrina, and Nigel back to South City, she signed herself up for a repeat course that focused on high school curriculum. She

    Holden did not look at Minerva, merely crushing his foot on Nigel as he said viciously, “Keep your distance from Minerva! You old fool, I’ll skin you alive, you hear me?!” With that, he lifted his leg and gave the other man a swift kick. Holden never offered his opponents or victims mercy. With that one kick, Nigel’s chest wound that had just healed would most probably start bleeding again.“Uncle Holden!” Minerva leapt onto Nigel.Holden was speechless. His foot paused in mid-air. Minerva said with surprise, “Uncle Holden, recently I’ve heard rumors that Holden Payne of Star Island is here in South City. I didn’t believe them, but is it really you?” “Move! Why are you protecting this old fool who took advantage of you!” Holden was so angry he wanted to kick her until she died. “You still haven’t learned your lesson, have you!” Minerva sobbed and shook her head. “No, that’s not true, Uncle Holden! Master Nigel is not that kind of person. In the two weeks that I cared for him,

    He did not care about technique or skill, merely raining his fists down on Holden. Within moments, under the force of his punches, Holden was about to fall. Behind them, Minerva sobbed, “Nigel, don’t hit my uncle! Uncle Holden, Uncle Holden, I beg you, stop it. Nigel is very nice to me! He never touched me! Uncle Holden, stop it! Boo hoo!”The two brawling men did not spare each other any mercy. “Damn you! Killing you is as easy as killing an ant. If you don’t let go of me, I’ll kick you to death!” Holden said in a violent and masculine way. “Holden Payne, are you even a man? Since you lost your home, you think you can run here and harass Sabrina? You think you love Sabrina, but do you actually love her? Do you know how much pain she suffered? She almost died several times and was on the run for six years before she got the stable and happy life that she now enjoys, and you came and ruined it all! It’s all because of you! I’ll kill you!” Thump! With a loud thump, Holden ki

    “Are… Are you asking about Aunt Grace’s tomb?”On the other end, Holden did not reply, merely asking in a cool tone, “When… When she was alive, was she in pain?”Sabrina: “…”“She… Do you have any photos of her?”Sabrina: “…”“What did she look like? Was she beautiful?”Sabrina: “…”“I heard you served with her in prison for two years. In those two years, her body was weak and she always fell ill. Were you the one who cared for her?” Sabrina: “…”She was in a very bad mood today. She planned to put Aino to bed, but Aino could not fall asleep in a different bed. She did not want to sleep at her grandma’s house. She wanted to go home. Not only that, Aino kept asking her, “Where’s my Daddy? Why hasn’t he come to pick me up yet?” The longer she persisted in her badgering, the more Sabrina found it difficult to leave Sebastian. She was lost and confused. Her heart was aching as if it had been sliced by a thousand knives. But right at that moment, Holden called her, asking her

    Sabrina smiled. “You little thing, you miss your Daddy?” “Yeah, Mommy, don’t you miss Daddy? You can’t fall asleep without Daddy hugging you for even a day!” Aino teased her mother. Deep down, Sabrina’s heart was bleeding, but on the surface, she still smiled and said, “You little thing, you know me so well!”“Of course!”“But tonight is Grandma’s birthday, so no matter how much I miss Daddy, I should spend the day with Grandma,” Sabrina said. Aino said, “Oh, today is Grandma’s birthday?”Sabrina nodded. “Grandma has worked so hard her entire life and lived as a beggar for years, so she never truly celebrated her birthday. She hopes our family of three can stay here and accompany her tonight. But unfortunately, your father has a meeting tonight. If you insist on going home, I’ll send you home first, and you’ll have to wait there alone while I celebrate with Grandma.” Aino immediately curled up in her mother’s arms. “No, I don’t want to stay at home alone! I want to accompany

    Sabrina’s tone did not sound as if she was talking to her husband. More like… Like two equally powerful mobsters negotiating a deal, and Sabrina was on the losing end. She sounded as if she knew she was losing but was still trying hard to maintain her composure. Even if she lost, her back would remain ramrod straight.Sebastian looked at his wife’s expression and laughed to himself. ‘Interesting.’“What do you want to talk about?” Sebastian asked.“I think…” Sabrina sucked in a deep breath and smiled as she spoke, “I think, no matter what we talk about, we shouldn’t discuss it outside, don’t you think so? But if you insist, I don’t mind.” Sabrina: “…”After a pause, he said, “I was waiting for you, until now. I kept calling you but you wouldn’t answer.” Sabrina asked, “Are we going in or not?” Sebastian slid his arm naturally around her shoulders. Feeling her cold skin, he frowned, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped it around her directly.Sabrina wanted to struggle, but

"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!"

    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.

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.

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.
