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
Her mother’s schemes went according to plan.Jade had told her that even though Sabrina was a very lucky woman whom they had failed to kill over and over again, as long as they tried hard enough, they would eventually wear her down. As such, Selene’s mother had called for her to tail Sabrina secretly. Selene had only followed Sabrina for around a day when she saw Nigel and Zayn fighting over Sabrina.That incident, which was captured by Selene’s camera, looked extremely scandalous. In the recording, Sabrina looked like she was being attacked by two men at once. And even better, those two men were affiliated with the famous Ford family of South City.After successfully recording it, Selene uploaded the clip to a platform online that specialized in tabloid content. She then approached multiple companies of all sizes, who owned tens of thousands of accounts, to make up the viewership numbers.In just under an hour, the video grew viral and thousands of accounts had already strea
When Sabrina looked up and saw Sebastian, she forced a smile. “Mr Ford, wasn’t this what you planned when you made me come to the Ford residence?”Sebastian said nothing.That woman really didn’t care for herself!He had only wanted Sabrina to come to the Ford residence to clear things up, not for her to die here!Since the meeting yesterday, Sebastian had been preoccupied with the recordings that circulated around the internet. He spent the entire night dealing with it and only managed to finish deleting the video from over ten thousand sources an hour ago!As every single source had been personally accounted for by Sebastian, he was sure that there were no loose ends left. Right after resolving the issue with the video clips, he didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water before driving to the residence immediately. As he stepped inside, he saw Sabrina holding a dagger, aiming it at herself.She really did not fear death!Sebastian released Sabrina from his arms, saying fi
Selene smiled warmly at what Sebastian had said. “Okay, darling, I’ll do as you say.”After that, she shot Sabrina a smug look.For some reason, Sabrina's heart ached.Sebastian might not have loved Selene, but she already had his child. There was a relationship between this soon-to-be family of three that could never be broken. There was no space for outsiders like Sabrina. Watching on as Sebastian treated Selene with such compassion, Sabrina felt like she was a joke.A dumb one at that.They were both mothers who were expecting, but how could her fate be so different from Selene’s? However, Sabrina shoved these emotions aside and raised her head, looking at everyone there proudly as she said, “Since Mr Ford is here, I will make everything clear today.“Firstly, I’ve never seduced Sebastian!“Sebastian was the one who approached me first, because I was quite close with his mother. He was forced to do so to give his mother some peace before she passed.“Yes, we even had a con
When she smashed her phone into the ground like that, Sabrina felt as if she had thrown it right at the faces of every member of the upper class in South City, humiliating them all. Seated and watching the outburst, the noble families grew uneasy as the phone hit the ground.Sabrina smirked at them. “I’ve already bought my ticket for the train back to my hometown that departs the day after tomorrow. In just one and a half days, I will be leaving South City. This city belongs to all of you, and when I leave, it will be none of my concern anymore! I will never return here. If your sons happen to be seduced by some other woman in the future, it will have nothing to do with me. Now, Old Master Ford, please tell me, did I explain everything thoroughly enough?” Henry’s aged face was frozen stiff. He had originally wanted Sabrina to apologize to everyone in the hall, and to promise that she would never form a relationship with any of the scions or have any unwelcome thoughts toward the
“This woman is so cunning!”“She likes to play hard to get, pretending to be disinterested! If my son was in front of a woman like that, he wouldn’t be able to resist her tactics.”“Thankfully she got rid of her phone. I really hope that she will leave South City, and stop causing more trouble here.”“She’s just some nameless girl, but really wants to instigate discord among the upper class. It’s good that she decided to stop now, if not, we would have roughed her up!”“This kind of woman has to be taught a lesson, and learn to not raise her head as she pleases!”“Bah!”Most of them there had wished to see Sabrina kneeling before them and humbly confessing her wrongdoings.Was that not what happened in movies and dramas?A despicable woman like Sabrina should be on the ground, apologising earnestly. That image seemed so natural to them. Yet, Sabrina’s pride and resolve to die rather than lower her head truly angered those that her words should have been meant for.However, eve
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
