“Can you find it in your heart to forgive me this one time? I swear that I will love you properly. I will treat the child in your belly like my own. Please, would you give me another chance, Sabrina?”Sabrina shook her head lightly as she responded, “Mr Conor, I don’t love you. I will never give a second chance to someone who wouldn’t even treat me like a person. Right... You came at a good time actually. I was just about to go look for you.”As she said that, Sabrina headed back into her room to get an old envelope, which had Nigel’s name on it.Nigel could feel that the words had been written decisively, without room for carelessness or hesitation. Looking at his own name on the envelope, all Nigel could think about was Sabrina’s conviction.If a person’s handwriting really did reflect their feelings, this was proof that it was true. It was actually the first time that Nigel had seen Sabrina’s handwriting, which he thought looked beautiful.It wasn’t delicate at all. Rather, i
After Nigel and Zayn finally left, Sabrina headed to the bank to get an account to deposit the money in. After that, she went to the train station to purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, she was told that there were no trains heading to Sabrina’s hometown at the moment.The salesperson said that she would have to wait at least 3 days for the next train.Alternatively, there was a bus service that connected her hometown and South City, but the journey would take an entire day. In addition to the five or six hundred dollar fee, the main issue was how bumpy the ride would be.It was too dangerous. She couldn’t risk her baby’s safety by travelling on that bus. After hesitating for a moment, she told the salesperson, “Give me a ticket for three days later.”Once she got the ticket, Sabrina decided to go for a stroll. It had been over two months since she left prison, but she never had the chance to walk around idly.She had neither the money, nor the time.For the entire morning, she
“Farewell, mother,” uttered Sabrina as she left the cemetery reluctantly. It was already four or five in the afternoon when she reached her residence. Instead of preparing a meal, Sabrina decided to get something to eat before going back to spare herself the effort.Just as she sat down at the food stall, two women started to stare at her.“It’s her, it’s definitely her! The background of the video was right here in this area. It’s her, there’s no doubt about it.”“I think it’s her too! Just look at her, acting all quiet and polite with an honest look on her face. I wouldn’t be able to tell that she was that good at seducing men.”“I heard that both men were famous scions of rich families in South City, one of them is even the grandson of the Ford Group head.”“The other one’s family might have fallen off a bit, but they’re still nothing like us commoners. Their family assets are worth at least hundreds of millions!”Sabrina was by no means deaf.The two women were clearly tal
No sound returned from the other end of the phone call.Sabrina spoke calmly, “Mr Ford, I know what you want to say, and I don’t feel like explaining. Please tell your aunt to control her son better…”“Woman, if you think I can’t do anything to you, you’re gravely mistaken!” The person speaking was not Sebastian.It was the voice of an old person.Sabrina asked, “You are?”“Listen here! If I wanted to kill you, it wouldn’t be any harder than stepping on an ant!” The old voice shouted angrily.Sabrina still could not tell who it was.There seemed to be a scuffle in the background, and when she listened closely, Sabrina could vaguely hear Kingston’s voice. “Old Master, you… how could you do this? You knew the young master was in a meeting and took the opportunity to use his phone and call someone!” Kingston looked at Old Master Henry in disbelief.Sabrina immediately knew whose voice it was.It was Sebastian’s grandfather.What did he want with her?Without a moment’s hesita
Sebastian had never expected to find the old master in the middle of his meeting.“Sebastian! Find me that woman, I want to kill her right here!” Henry exclaimed.“That place in the video is her home. Even if Sabrina had some mystical technique to seduce men, your grandson wouldn’t be there if he didn’t fall for it. After all, flies only go for eggs that have already cracked.” Sebastian said to Henry, donning his usual cold expression.His words stunned Henry. After a brief moment, Henry hardened his face and spoke again. “Sebastian! I’m almost eighty years old. I’ve had countless grandchildren, but now, only you and Nigel are left. Seeing the two of you getting involved with that woman, how could I not be worried?“You can choose not to hand her over to me.“However, I’ve lived for over eighty years. I can easily locate anybody I want to in South City. I will be able to find her. And once I do, don’t blame me for being ruthless when I deal with her!“Sebastian, the way that yo
Sebastian’s voice was cold. “Why? Nigel and Zayn have already fought here, is it so wrong of me to show up here as well?”Sabrina clearly looked upset.She did not want Sebastian to see her staying in a place like this.Sabrina knew that a lot of women who worked as escorts lived in this area. Most of them came from other countries, or were married with children in their homes.They did not make much, some of them only a few dozen bucks at a time, and only managed to earn a few hundred at night.Compared to even a low level white collar employee in the city, their pay amounted to nothing.Yet, even when they could only make a few hundred a day, these women had no choice but to save it all up for their children at home, for paying their school fees, living expenses and saving up for retirement.As such, these were the best rooms they could afford.Living under such social conditions, these women had no choice but to stay in the slums. On top of staying in this area, which woul
Kingston looked back at Sebastian, not understanding what he meant by that.Sebastian repeated with a dark expression on his face, “Go back!”Kingston did not know how to respond.However, after hearing the young master’s sharp tone, he immediately knew where to go. He started the engine, and said to Sebasatian, “Don’t worry, Young Master. Even though Miss Scott stays in such a dangerous area, as long as I’m there, I guarantee that no one will be able to touch her. I’ll go back to Miss Scott’s room right now and stand guard!”Sebastian said nothing, and walked to the elevator alone.Kingston, who drove off, reached Sabrina’s residence quickly.He didn’t want to get too near, and so chose to sit in the car with the engine off. When he looked in the direction of Sabrina’s room, he noticed that the lights were still on.Kingston pinched his nose as a pungent odour started to diffuse into the car. He sighed, muttering to himself, “Do people really stay here? There is trash everywher
There were many people sitting around the Ford residence’s impressive hall. Some Sabrina recognized, and others she had never seen before.Sabrina looked at the people around her and noticed that Selene, Old Master Shaw, Mindy, and Nigel’s parents were all present.Besides them, Sabrina struggled to make out who the others were.However, the expressions they had on their faces when looking at Sabrina were full of disdain, like looking at trash that they wanted to get rid of immediately.“You’re here!” Sitting in the middle of it all, Old Master Ford bellowed as he looked at Sabrina.“What is it that you want to say? Please do it quickly!” Sabrina spoke with a frigid tone.“First of all, you need to apologize to everyone here! After that, you will need to write…”“Apologize?” Sabrina interrupted Henry, and asked firmly, “Why should I apologize when I’ve done nothing wrong?! I don’t even know some of the people sitting here at all, why should I apologize?!”Old Master Ford had no
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
