Smelling the fragrance, Sabrina, who was already hungry, started to work up an appetite. She sat down, and saw that Sebastian sat down in front of her.Sabrina was speechless. Was he going to eat with her? She did not dare. She felt constrained.“What are you sitting down for? Serve me some of the stew!” Sebastian ordered, his expression unchanging.“Oh.” Sabrina stood up obediently.He stared at her without emotions, making her anxious. Her hand trembled as she scooped out the stew, causing it to splash onto the table.Sebastian snatched the ladle from her. “You can’t even do something as simple as this, yet you are constantly thinking about keeping other men company!”Sabrina was speechless. A wave of grievances flooded her heart. It was him who said it himself, that she needed to pay back ten million! And she needed to pay for herself! Now he was blaming her? Tears started to seep out of her eyes but Sabrina did not want Sebasitan to see her cry. She lowered her head, forcing
Sabrina was so shocked she wanted to pull her fork back immediately.Just an hour ago, that tyrant had rendered a hot actress completely drunk without a shred of mercy. And now they were eating together and had somehow eyed the same piece of meat at the same time, and she even stuck her fork in his. How could she not feel anxious and awkward? The more anxious she felt, the more she did not know what to do with the fork. She tried to move it up, and he did the same thing.Sabrina quickly pulled it away. Sebastian did the same thing. Looking at his cold expression, Sabrina knew that if she did not finish everything on the table that day, he would not let her off. Thinking of that, Sabrina moved for another piece of meat.In the end, he once again picked the same piece as her. His fork pinned hers down.Why did that keep happening? Sabrina did not dare to move. He let her off, and Sabrina pulled her fork back, covering her face as she drank the stew, not touching the meat.Sebastian n
Sabrina did not rush inside. She stood outside the window, looking at the pair of father and daughter. Sebastian was earnestly building the wooden house. Sabrina saw a childish and happy glow he was exuding. She suddenly felt a sense of immense happiness. Even if she knew it was all a lie, it was all just her selfish wishes. Yet, it was enough for her to feel a sliver of warmth.This led Sabrina to think of when she was twelve. She had been sent to the Lynn family by her mother. From that day on, she looked at the Lynn family living happily together every day. And she was just an unwanted adopted child. She looked on as Lincoln and Jade would throw Selene into the air and grabbed her before she fell. Each time, Selene would shout out happily. And she was just like a dog without an owner, looking on by the side, dreaming of being held but never getting it.Each year, during Selene’s birthday, the Lynn family would break the bank so that Selene could have a meaningful birthday. Looking
Sabrina bit her lips before finally summoning up the courage. “I know you’re treating Aino very well. I probably had the wrong idea of you. You won’t do anything to Aino, since she is your daughter, but…”Sebastian interrupted. “What are you trying to say?”“Why is Aino not in her room? Is the kindergarten open already?” Sabrina asked.Sebastian replied coldly, “Aino’s Kindergarten starts at eight thirty, but there’s no way I can bring her there at that time. Do you want me to reach the company at ten and make my staff wait for me?!”Sabrina was speechless.After a second, she said, “Oh, understood. It’s nothing…I’ll hang up now.”He hung up the phone. He did not tell Sabrina that he was bringing Aino to the hospital, mainly because he did not want Sabrina to worry.The morning light illuminated the hospital, and the hospital was extremely quiet.Old Master Ford’s ward was completely undisturbed. The entire area was surrounded by bodyguards. When they saw Sebastian, they chante
He pretended not to hear Aino’s stomping, and went straight to the ward with Aino.“Stinky Bum, where are you taking me? Are you trying to sell me to the orphanage?” Aino asked angrily, but she knew the Stinky Bum would never sell her.“There’s an old man who wants to see you.” Sebastian said truthfully.An old man? Aino could not think of anyone, and followed Sebastian into the ward.The ward was very luxurious, and five specialized nurses were inside. Sean Ford and Rose Quinton were also there.“Father.” Sebastian called out when he entered.When Sean saw Aino, he was stunned. Rose had an ugly expression on her face.She had three children, but all of them had passed away during their prime, not even leaving behind any grandchildren for her. Instead, it was that bastard child’s daughter that was now the remaining descendant of the Ford family. It was incredibly humiliating.Sebastian was a bastard son, and his daughter was also a bastard daughter.A look of disdain flashed th
Sebastian’s calm tone left no room for debate. “Scott.”“Are you not planning on recognizing this child?” Rose asked.Sebastian’s lips twitched. “Isn’t that what you are hoping for?”“You!” Sean’s face was red with anger. “How ruthless can you be?! No matter how much I didn’t acknowledge you, you were still a Ford! You still inherited the Ford empire! You are better, you aren’t even letting your daughter be a Ford!”“You are the cruelest!” Sebastian smiled coldly. His own daughter, no matter what she was named, would still be Sebastian’s daughter. Even if she had her mother’s name her whole life, she would still inherit the Ford Group in the future! With regards to that matter, no one had anything to say. Sebastian did not bother giving any explanations. Even he did not like the Ford name, what more his daughter? From his perspective, it was better for her to have her mother’s name!At that time, his stepmother sighed, “It seems like, just like the rumors say, you really hate th
The other three in the room were stunned.As it happened, the doctor in charge of Henry was there to perform a checkup. Behind him were some younger doctors, nurses, and another group of people. Arriving at the door, they were all stunned.For a whole thirty seconds, none of them said anything.The first to react was the head doctor. “My god! The old master’s condition is not stable and he can’t be disturbed right now! Where on earth did this child come from? She is so unruly and mischievous, and seems to be uneducated! Someone get that child out of here now!”To the doctor’s knowledge, the Ford family did not have such a young child.She couldn’t be part of the Ford family, nor the Conor family.By right, that child should have no relation to Old Master Henry.Just as he had been about to chase the child out himself, the doctor suddenly heard Old Master Henry’s wizened laugh. “Hahaha, ah, my little granddaughter, you’re going to pull out my nose. It hurts, please let it go. I’l
Sebastian looked at Old Master Henry calmly as he started to speak. “I’m her father, I’ll decide what her name should be. Didn’t you just want to take a look at her? Since you’ve seen her now, she should be going back to kindergarten.” Sebastian then turned his attention to the small child. “Aino, let’s go, you should be in kindergarten.”Aino, on the other hand, looked away from Sebastian, clearly unwilling to follow him anywhere.Why did he have to badmouth her mother?Sebastian’s face straightened. “Haven’t I already apologized? Have you never done anything wrong before?”Aino didn’t know how to react. She was a very bright child, but there was no way she could win an argument with Sebastian. After all, he had indeed apologized to her.She was reluctant to leave with Sebastian, but didn’t really have a say in the matter either.Aino did not say anything to Sebastian throughout the journey. When they arrived at the kindergarten, Sebastian was about to hold her hand and bring
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
