The man on the other end of the line, Hayes, was a thug that worked this part of South City. All the dirty jobs before and after Sabrina’s imprisonment were operated entirely by Hayes. The Lynn family had engaged with Hayes more than once. Selene thought she might as well go big this time.The Lynn family did not want to take Sabrina’s life before Selene and Sebastian’s wedding initially. They were afraid it would cause a huge trouble, and the wedding would be affected, but there was also another reason. Selene wanted to personally deliver the news to Sabrina that all the happiness she got was exchanged with Sabrina’s body. Selene wanted to make Sabrina furious. However, Selene could not care any less now. She wanted Sabrina to die!She wanted her dead immediately. On the other end, Hayes asked for ten million dollars at one go.Selene was shocked, “Hayes! Your appetite is too big, no?”Hayes, however, let out a peal of wicked laughter. “I know who the person you wanted
Why would she be in the bedroom?A bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Sebastian’s eyes.After the wedding, he received an urgent phone call from Old Master Ford─ Henry Ford─ asking him to return.Old Master Ford was 96 years old, and even though he had retired from his position as the head of the Ford family for almost 40 years, the Old Master was still an authoritative presence in the Ford family.Similar to a king’s father. A month or so ago, when Sebastian took control of the Ford Group in one fell swoop and eradicated all the hidden troubles, the old man gave him an order.“Sebastian, since you have eradicated all the hindrances, then you should not take out the ones that are left behind anymore. If you could promise grandpa, I would never interfere with your affairs in the future.” Henry said. It was partly an order but also partly a plea.Sebastian replied with a cold and dark expression, “Yes!”Sebastian took charge of the Ford’s in the past two months, and the old man
“Listen!” The man’s low mellow, and cold voice articulated the following few words. “Barge into my room without permission again, you’re dead!”Sabrina looked like a lost deer, her long curly eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and she nodded her head with all her might.The man turned around and picked up the emerald green bracelet from the bedside table. He then carried Sabrina, pushed the door open, entered Sabrina’s room and placed her down. After that, he put the bracelet back on her wrist and said, “Wear it tomorrow to visit my mother, she would be happier.”“I…got it.” Her tiny and faint voice was caught in her throat as she answered him warily.The man turned around and left.Sabrina then flew to have the room door closed and leaned her whole weight on the door. Her legs no longer have the strength to support her, so she dropped onto the floor and breathed heavily.She felt like she had walked through the gates of hell.Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.After she calmed
Sabrina plainly sneered and rolled her eyes at Selene.What if she knew?What if she did not know?Sabrina always knew that the Lynn family must have known who that man was. He must have been a rival that the Lynn family wanted to get rid of, but they could not kill that man openly, so they let her accompany him before he was laid in the grave.The man had died because of excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure."I don't want to," Sabrina said."You…" Selene raised her hand and slapped Sabrina across the face. "Even if you don't want to know, you still have to know. I am going to tell you the truth today. I have to let you be enlightened before you die. Did you know why you boarded in our Lynn family for eight years? Did you know why my mother and I hate you? Did you think it's because you live in our house, and we fed and clothed you? Sabrina, haven't you thought of any other reasons?"Sabrina raised her gaze to look at Selene.She had indeed always wanted to know why her mot
Sabrina buried herself in Sebastian’s chest in fear. Her whole body was shivering. She knew how vicious Sebastian was, but she has never witnessed it with her own eyes. Today, she finally experienced how unwaveringly vicious this man could be. However, those people deserved it. Nothing to pity about.Sabrina, on the other hand, was almost tortured and killed by Selene.Sabrina, who was lying on Sebastian’s shoulder, slowly raised her head and looked at Selene with extremely innocent eyes.Sabrina was sent to the hospital, and the doctor said after the examination, "Only soft tissue contusions were sustained, nothing serious."Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief, and her fears that were at an extreme level gradually calmed down. She had been kidnapped for several days, so she wondered how Grace was in the past few days. "Mr. Ford, thank you for saving me. Is Aunt Grace…okay?" Sabrina looked at Sebastian gratefully and asked."Not good!"Sabrina said, "...Aunt Grace... What's w
“Mom, I’m sorry.” Sabrina’s tears fell on the corner of Grace’s blanket. Her voice was a little hoarse from crying. "I just joined the company, so I had to obey the arrangements of my boss. My boss made a last-minute decision to send me on a business trip for a few days, so I couldn't come to see you on time.""It's my bad. My health is getting increasingly worse.” The tubes on Grace’s body had not yet been removed. Grace looked at her body, then said with a bitter smile, "I do not know if I could still open my eyes again after closing them...”"Mom, don’t say that. I do not want you to leave me. If you have left me, then I would be very lonely. I do not have much family in this world." Sabrina laid under Grace’s nose and cried her heart out.Sabrina was just rescued, but she did not return to Sebastian’s place. She spent the whole day at the hospital taking care of Grace instead. Sabrina helped Grace clean her body, washed her hair, and clipped her nails. Grace was initially at t
"It's raining?" Sebastian came to the balcony and looked out. It really was raining. He then looked further down and saw a woman kneeling in the rain while looking up at his floor.Sebastian took an umbrella and went down."Master Sebastian, Master Sebastian…You were willing to come down to see me." Selene’s lips are frozen purple. She crawled on her knees to the front of Sebastian and hugged his legs."Master Sebastian, listen to me. If you let me finish then I wouldn’t mind if you beat me to death. Please give me a chance to defend myself.”As he looked at this woman who groveled and behaved so lowly, Sebastian felt extremely disgusted in his heart. He was so close to kicking her to death yesterday.However, it was because she had used her body to save his life that allowed him to take control of the Ford Group successfully.His foot stopped right at the moment he was about to kick her.The disgust he had in his heart for this woman, however, was increasing by the day.This wom
The call was from Henry.The old man's tone was both commanding and consultative, "Sebastian, since you said that woman was there to console your mother, your grandma and I decided to arrange a casual family banquet this weekend. The girls of age from the noble and distinguished families of both South City and Kidon City would also come to the banquet…”“I'm not going!" Sebastian mercilessly refused before the old man could finish his words.The old man on the other end had no choice but to soften his tone even more. "Sebastian, don’t hang up the phone so quickly. Could you let grandpa finish words?"Sebastian did not respond.“Sebastian?”"I'm listening!""When it comes to the Ford family business matters, I would not intervene. However, I am already 96 years old this year, you couldn’t let me die before seeing you married and have children before that, right? If you take a fancy to one of the girls who would be coming to the banquet, then that would definitely be the best, but
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
