“Alex, why did you kick me?!” Martin asked.Looking at the straining tension in the air, Sabrina stood up and said, “Yes, I came…to serve all of you.” Sebastian’s face darkened at her words. Aire could see how severe Sebastian’s expression was and hastily let out a laugh. “Hey, let’s put aside who you’re supposed to serve. Director Ford was punished to have thirty glasses, so you’ll need to help him drink it all. Once you finish, you’ll be even more attractive in your drunken state. Furthermore, aren’t hostesses the best at drinking alcohol? Don’t most of you drink first before you accompany men?”After that, Aire forcefully poured alcohol for Sabrina. She wanted to completely drown that woman in alcohol! It would be amazing if Sabrina got black-out drunk in the room, then Aire would have the chance to get close to Sebastian.Yet, when Aire took up the glass of alcohol, she heard Sebastian’s voice. “Aire, is it?”Aire replied in a flattered tone. “Director Ford, I am indeed Aire…
Aire was dumbfounded. “...Mr Ford, what did you say?”She could not believe her own ears. Sebastian had asked her to be a hostess. She had never encountered that kind of humiliation before.“Be a hostess!” Sebastian said again, eerily calm. Aire immediately answered coldly and arrogantly, “Mr Ford! Don’t you have a hostess next to you? I’m not a hostess! I won’t act as one either!”Sebastian’s tone was still calm. “Then, why are you here today?”Aire started to say, “I came here with Mr Smith-”“Mr Smith’s wife should be Alex’s cousin, right?” Sebastian asked coldly. “Then please tell me, what status did you come here with?”Aire was speechless.“A hostess is a hostess! You’re here as a companion, but you’re trying to show off?” Sebastian asked ruthlessly.Aire felt tears pooling in her eyes. She stammered, “Mr Ford…” Right as she spoke, Sabrina pinched her nose with her fingers again. Sabrina was really not used to that smell.She had done some manual labor when she was i
“If I did anything wrong, I will definitely correct it.”Sebastian looked at Aire, then at Sabrina. He asked again, “Why did she ask you to hold her shoes?”Sabrina lowered her head, shaking it. “I don’t know who she is. My hands were sticky, so I was washing them. This woman then came in and asked me to hold her shoes.”Sabrina looked up at Sebastian. “Mr Ford, I don’t know what sort of games you all play here. It’s my first time being in this sort of an event as well. Tell me what you want me to do, I’ll do it.”Sebastian then looked at Aire. “How about this, you kneel down and hold Sabrina’s shoes, then ask her for forgiveness. If she forgives you, you don’t have to drink. Is that okay?”Aire was speechless. He wants her to hold the shoes of a hostess? She has to kneel?It was too big of a humiliation. But Sebastian’s expression looked like he would never let her off. Aire immediately obeyed, looking at Sabrina as she walked towards her.Sabrina immediately ran to a corner. “
Sabrina was shocked by Sebastian’s actions. She was just about to hide behind Sebastian when Aire cried out and knelt in front of Sabrina, her tears flowing. “Miss Sabrina, please have mercy and let me off this once, please?”Sabrina was speechless. “Miss, you really changed your stances really quick.” Sabrina said. “You were the one who ordered me to hold your shoes in the washroom, you were also the one who scolded me for not knowing who you were, and you humiliated me in front of everyone here as well. Now, the one who’s kneeling down in front of me, crying, is also you. Which one is the real you? I’m just a woman who struggles to have a meal each day, a woman who fights for her life each day, how would I know who you are? Is it wrong for me to not know you? Do you people from upper society bully people like this?”Aire did not know what to say. It was then that Aire realized that Sabrina absolutely did not know that she was a star in the entertainment industry. Aire placed bo
Sebastian repeated, “A movie star? A new queen of the entertainment industry? Do you think everyone should know you? Let me tell you right now, you better retire from the movie industry for three years. You’re not even allowed to accept commercials!”That was already the lightest punishment Sebastian could give Aire. A public figure, after receiving an award, was commanding another woman to carry her shoes! With that kind of morality, making her retire was already a generous act.“Director Ford…” Aire felt a sense of hopelessness. “I…I’m willing to drink, I’ll drink thirty glasses, okay? Please don’t send me away, don’t make me stop acting.”Making her stop for three years and not even allowing for commercials would essentially end her career. She would never be able to thrive in the entertainment industry again. Furthermore, after offending Sebastian, she would never be able to mix with the upper society anymore. Aire clenched her teeth and begged Sebastian to allow her to accept t
Aire was escorted out.After getting into the cab, the drunken Aire called Zach’s wife, Autumn Poole.On the other end, Autumn impatiently asked, “Aire, hello. How is it? Did my husband get along with Sebastian?”Aire slurred out on the other end. “That despicable Sabrina! She’s a witch, a witch!”After that, she hung up and fell asleep in the cab.Autumn was speechless and made a call to her cousin Alex. Alex was just offering Sebastian a toast as his phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number and then looked at Zayn who was sitting alone uneasily. Alex handed the phone over. “Your wife is calling.”Zach took the phone and walked outside. “Autumn, why are you calling?!”Autumn snapped. “Zach Smith! You useless man! I seized such a good chance for you to mix with my cousin and Sebastian’s circles, yet you really can’t hold yourself back! You actually got seduced by Sabrina! Isn’t it enough that your cousin has been tainted by her!”Zach was furious. “You stupid woman!
Even if you were already stuck in a predicament!She smiled softly. “Can I really still do architecture now?”“Why not? Have you never thought of finding a job in the field?” Alex sasked.Could she still get a job? Sabrina shook her head sadly.“If you don’t try, how would you know you won’t get a job?” Alex said. Sabrina bit her lips, hesitating.Sebastian had returned to Sabrina’s side. Looking at the time, he said, “It’s already late.”It was already late? Sabrina’s heart sank. Who would Sebastian give her to? Mr Poole?Mr Poole talked the most to her. Or would it be Mr Herbs, who had a scar on his face?Sabrina did not know, but she lowered her head, turning into a cold, heartless robot.Sebastian stood up with an arm around her shoulder. “Let’s leave now. There’s still a child at home, we need to head back earlier.”“Farewell, sister, we should meet again if we have time. We could go for a facial together.” Jane smiled at Sabrina.The other girls chimed in. “In the future
Sabrina was speechless. “Get in the car!” Sebastian shouted.Sabrina obediently got in the car. It was night time so Kingston turned the heater on. In the narrow space of the car, Sabrina’s small face was red. She never spoke a word, nor did Sebastian. Kingston was getting increasingly worried about his master. He snuck a look at Sebastian from the rear view mirror. The young master was napping.Kingston coughed softly. “Um…Madam.”Sabrina looked at Kingston.“Today…the few of them who were present with the young master were all his good brothers. Their relationship with each other is closer than the young master’s relationship with Old Master Ford,” Kingston said.“Oh…” Sabrina could not understand what Kingston was trying to say.She had been very intelligent six years ago. Even though she did not speak much at that time, she could see through anything. But, now Sabrina was not willing to speculate on anything. Six years ago, after going through life and death, Zayn’s legs were
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
