“Woman! What is it that you want? Are you trying to suck up to our family now? First, you had a relationship going on with my grandson, Sebastian, and now that you’ve realised you have no future with him, you’re trying to go for my other grandson? You wild woman, listen here, if you try to seduce another one of my family’s men, I’ll make sure that you’ll meet a sorry end!” Henry, who stood at the front of the group, started to berate Sabrina while pointing his finger at her.Sabrina’s face started to turn white, but she did not show a shred of timidity. “I’m sorry, Old Master Ford, but I’ve never tried to seduce your grandson Sebastian before! The same goes for Nigel!“I saved Nigel’s life!”“You? Saved Nigel’s life?” A middle aged woman cried out sharply, “If it wasn’t for you, would Nigel be in danger in the first place? Wasn’t the only reason my Nigel provoked Kenton because of the trouble you caused?“You barbaric woman! You even crippled Kenton’s manhood, is there anything tha
That was definitely the case!Thinking she was right, Selene tried to cajole Sebastian. “Young master, did you come here to try out wedding gowns with me? I… I noticed that I’ve put on some weight these past two days, and so my stomach has gotten bigger. If we take any longer, I might not be able to fit into any of the nice gowns.”Sebastian’s tone was ice cold. “I’ll get Kingston to bring you to try out the wedding gowns tomorrow.”“Then today…” Did he come over just to keep her company?Selene was elated.“Has the Lynn family ever had a connection with Kenton Horst?” Sebastian suddenly asked.Jade and Selene both shuddered in fright when they heard the question.Why was Sebastian asking that?Jade tried to speak but only managed to stutter, “Young master, you know this. We… The Lynn family has always been only loyal to you. We know that Kenton is your nemesis, so how could we have any connection to him?” Selene smiled and followed, “That’s right, there’s no way we would hav
Zayn was stunned at Sebastian’s words, and could only look at Sabrina awkwardly before turning back to smile at him. “Young Master…”“I don’t like to repeat my words.” Sebastian’s tone was stern but calm.Without trying to cause a scene, Zayn immediately got up to leave.He knew Sebastian was ruthless. Even if his tone didn’t sound aggressive, he could very well kill you at the next second.When Zayn left the room, Sebastian walked up to Sabrina and met her gaze, his face devoid of emotion.Though Sabrina was surprised to see Sebastian here, she calmly asked, “Mr Ford, did you come here to divorce me today? However, right now I’m…”She looked at her arms with a disheartened expression.Sebastian said, “You really are good at seducing men! First it was me, then Marcus Shaw, andNigel as well, and after that there was Kenton. Now even Zayn is feeding you so tenderly?”Sabrina asked, “What do you mean by that?”“The food Zayn fed you, was it good?”She was left speechless by what
“Bah!” Zayn suddenly found courage from within, and with a burst he spat out, “You… Be it Nigel,Marcus, Kenton or even Young Master Sebastian, all of them are men!“Grown up men like them, bullying a powerless woman that they know they can get away with doing anything to, how shameful!“Do you not think so?“The young master especially... When his own mother was the same sort of pitiful woman the Ford family did not accept. Does he not have a shred of sympathy?!”After his rant, Zayn looked at Kingston like a man that had accepted his death.Though those were words he genuinely meant, he had not had the courage to say them in the beginning. It was only when he had been instigated by Kingston that he decided to tread lightly no longer.“I guess you want my life now. I just beg you not to involve my family. Three months ago, when the Ford family fought so intensely with countless other families, the Smith family never got involved. So, please ask Young Master Sebastian to take that
Hearing Sebastian’s harsh words that had clearly been said to drive her away filled Sabrina’s heart with immense pain, but she still forced a smile and said, “That’s great, give me a hundred thousand, I’ll leave immediately.”“Get out of this city!”“I definitely will!” Sabrina retorted, not backing down.Sebastian got up and took large strides outside the ward. As he walked, he undid his tie.How suffocating, so much so that he wanted to kill someone!Walking out, Sebastian noticed Kingston standing outside the ward.“Why are you standing here?” Sebastian asked.“Young master, you previously made plans with the bank to withdraw five million from your personal account which was meant for Miss Scott. The bank has already prepared it for you. They called me earlier to ask when you wanted to get it.” Kingston chose his words carefully.“No need!” Sebastian replied unsympathetically as he continued walking outside.“Ah?” Kingston asked, despite already knowing what Sebastian was
She really was arrogant and conceited.In contrast, there was nothing special about Selene. She was much like ordinary flowers that blended into the background of sceneries. The two silhouettes kept crossing Sebastian’s mind. Sabrina, who was always surrounded by men. Yet, even though she was always with different men, Sabrina had admitted to him before that her motives were not impure. Yet, the image that remained in Sebastian’s mind was that of a cold and aloof Sabrina, with her prideful gaze. Sebastian imagined that was what she had looked like as she took away Kenton’s manhood.Another image he couldn’t get rid of was that of Sabrina raising her arms to block the daggers meant for Nigel. The same scenes replayed over and over again in Sebastian’s mind.And Selene?Selene was the woman who saved his life and had his child. No matter how much he hated her, it was a responsibility that he needed to bear.That afternoon, Sebastian remained at Grace’s grave for several hours,
Sabrina took the heavy envelope, her heart still restless.If she had any other alternative, she would choose not to take the money. A hundred thousand bucks was probably not a lot for Sebastian, but it was enough to crush her dignity. However, when it was a question of survival, what was dignity worth? Sabrina bit her lips and tried to keep her emotions in check, taking the money while looking at Sebastian coolly, “Thank you.”Sebastian said nothing.‘I wanted to give you five million, but you did not think I could be trusted!’His expression was cold as usual. “No need to thank me!”Sabrina’s heart was a mess.Walking out of the city hall after having formalised their divorce, Sabrina knew that she would no longer have anything to do with Sebastian anymore. Their marriage did not last longer than two months, but it had gone through countless ups and downs and different challenges, to say the least.Yet, for some reason, Sabrina suddenly felt reluctant to walk away. Right at th
“So what if it’s true or not?” Sabrina looked at Sebastian with a sarcastic smile, “Does that have anything to do with you, Mr Ford? Even if I’m having Kenton’s child, it was before we got married anyways. If I really did have a relationship with him, does it have anything to do with you right now?“We’ve already divorced!“What happens between me and the Horst family is none of your business!“Then get lost!” Sebastian snapped back at her angrily.“Remember, you were the one who asked me to stop!” Sabrina cried out, unable to control her emotions as she felt wronged, “Mr Ford, we’ll never meet again!”Having said that, Sabrina turned around and left.She had actually planned to ask Sebastian whether she could visit Aunt Grace’s grave in the future but in the spur of the moment, she forgot.Sabrina only managed to take one step forward before Kingston grabbed her arm.This was very out of character for Kingston, who had always been a very disciplined bodyguard and assistant to
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
