Sebastian did not withdraw his cold gaze because of Sabrina's scream. He surveyed Sabrina with a serious gaze. Sabrina fiercely pushed Sebastian away, picked up the bathrobe, and wrapped herself. She quickly rushed into the small guest bedroom.Her tears streamed down her eyes the moment she closed the door.The sense of shame, only she knew how stifling it was.She wiped off the tears that she could not control with her wrist, and when she was about to get her clothes, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open. She shivered in shock.She looked up and saw that Sebastian had a first aid kit in his hand.Sabrina used a bath towel to cover her front. "You… What are you doing?"The man did not say anything but raised his hand to grab her by the arm. He made her lie on the bed with a flipping motion. She felt some kind of cool ointment was applied to her back before she could react.Sabrina’s back had several ligature marks that even she could not see by herself. She only knew sh
Sabrina jerked up her curly eyelashes and fluttered a few times. She did not remember who the man was at first glance. After a few seconds, she pursed her lips and said, "Master Nigel."The design director reacted immediately as if the crown prince had arrived. The design director got up from the seat, came to the front of Nigel, and said after courteously bowing and nodding, “Master Nigel, what wind blew you here? Were you…here to inspect the work?”"What's wrong with this staff?" Nigel asked carelessly."Well, a new recruit, no education, and no experience, but absent from work for several days. For such a person, the company could no longer retain her," the design director said."I… I would never miss work again. I would work hard to move bricks at the construction site…" Sabrina was determined to fight for one last chance. “It’s just an architectural assistant, right? Our company is enormous, so we must have compassion. We should give chances to any new recruits. Everybody ma
“At least buy me…” Nigel looked at the small restaurants in the surroundings. They were either dark and smoky or had a bunch of general workers eating lunch boxes outside. He pinched his nose. He must go all out if he wanted to get with this self-restrained chick! “No matter what, you should at least buy me a ten-dollar lunch box, right?”“Alright,” Sabrina replied promptly.The two bought a lunch box, the type that had two choices of vegetables and a portion of meat.Sabrina was full of the two mushroom sandwiches she ate. She sat opposite Nigel and stared at him while he ate.This feeling was extremely awkward.It was more awkward because Sabrina, who was sitting opposite Nigel, had an extremely bland expression. As he ate the lunch box that was as tasteless as wax, Nigel really wanted to reach over and recklessly rub on those cold and helpless little cheeks.The best would be to pull her into his arms and have his way with her.He did not believe that she would still be a
"How did you find your way here?! Get the hell out of here!" Sabrina was furious. It did not matter how Jade and Selene harassed and insulted her, but they came to the ward to harass the seriously ill Grace.Sabrina picked up her bag and smashed it on Jade.However, Grace called out to her, “Sabbie…”Sabrina turned around and looked at Grace. “Mom, don’t be afraid, I would beat and chase them out right away.”“Sabbie, I sent someone to call them to come over,” Grace said.Sabrina was puzzled. When Sabrina turned around, she saw both Jade and Selene looking at Grace─ lying on the hospital bed─ with frightened faces."Mom? You… brought them here?" Sabrina looked at Grace in disbelief.Grace’s face was pale, but she had an authority that no one dared to disobey. "Jade Sullivan, Selene Lynn!"“Madam Ford…” Jade nervously looked at Grace as if she had met a powerful opponent.Grace plainly recounted, "Although I was not legitimately married into the Ford family in this life, to b
“Slap your daughter’s face. You could stop when I say so. If you’re reluctant to slap her or if you did not slap hard enough, then I would ask two big and rough men to each slap her a hundred times with the soles of their shoes.”Jade was stunned. “Madam Ford, what…what did you say?”Selene was even more frightened that she ended up going limp and fell on the floor with her face covered in tears.Grace did not intend to repeat herself at all and only asked Jade, “Would you do it, or do I find someone else to do it for you?”“Me! I’ll do it. I’ll do it!” Jade crawled and came to the front of Selene. She raised her hand and gave Selene a big slap.“Mom…” Selene cried as she looked at her mother. “It's better than two men slapping you with the soles of their shoes.” Jade raised her hand and gave another slap. The slap landed on Selene’s right cheek.Jade slapped extremely hard.It was as if she was afraid Grace would not be satisfied.Selene let out suppressed wails while she wa
Kingston could not see Sebastian’s expression, but no voice was heard after a long time.“Master Sebastian, Master Sebastian?” Kingston called out. On the other end, Sebastian’s voice was extremely frosty. “I see.”Kingston said, “Young Master Sebastian, do you have any other orders?”“I’ll be busy these few days. The day after tomorrow, make sure you pick up Selene and wait for me outside the Ford Residence.” Sebastian wanted to use Selene to ward off the bevy of beauties Old Master had invited on his behalf.“Noted, Young Master Sebastian. I’ll hang up now,” Kingston courteously said.“There’s more,” Sebastian suddenly called out to Kingston.“Follow her.” Sebastian’s tone had a tinge of anger.Kingston said, “Follow who?” As soon as he uttered the words, he smacked himself on his head and said, “Noted, Young Master Sebastian. I’ll immediately follow Miss Scott!” After he hung up, Kingston drove along behind Sabrina to follow her. However, Sabrina’s tracks were very simple
Nigel’s car came inconspicuously to the front of Sabrina, “Sabrina, get in. I happened to be going back, I’ll give you a ride?” Sabrina looked at her dirt-covered self, shook her head and smiled. “No, I’ll just wait for the bus.”“It’s already so late. There shouldn't be any buses anymore, or maybe the bus just broke down somewhere, so you wouldn’t be able to leave unless you call a cab,” Nigel kindly said.To call a cab?She was almost completely broke.“Just get in.” Nigel personally opened the door for Sabrina, and Sabrina got in without any more hesitation.“Where to?” Nigel gently asked.“Harmony Hospital,” Sabrina said two brief and simple words, then did not speak anymore.Nigel looked at Sabrina a few times throughout the whole journey. She quietly stared out the window and did not initiate any conversation with Nigel until she got out of the car.However, Nigel was not anxious at all.The more prolonged and unceasingly pestered the game was, the more it was worth lo
“Master Sebastian…” Selene wanted to cry but did not dare to, which made her face looked even uglier. “I knew you don’t like me, and I’m the one who was reaching above my station for you. I would not appear in front of you again.”Selene turned around and left. Sebastian unexpectedly grabbed her arm.He was feeling more disgusted by Selene.However, there was a sense of responsibility. Selene once saved his life with her body, so that made him swallow all the disgust he had and tried his best to soften his tone instead. “How did your face become like that?”Selene had two rows of tears streamed down in grievance and shook her head.“Speak!” Sebastian said impatiently. “My…My mom slapped me,” Selene said honestly. “Mm?”Selene tremblingly said, “Your… Your mother sent someone to get my mother and me over. She said she wanted to… to avenge her daughter-in-law, so she asked my mom to… slap my face. If my mom didn’t slap me, then your mother would… ask two men to hit my face wi
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
