Sabrina turned around to the source of the voice and saw Linda walking in with her hands on her waist.“Linda,” Sabrina called out.“Are you the mistress?” Linda suddenly asked Sabrina with a fierce tone, as if she was the one who had stolen her man. She looked Sabrina dead in the eye.Linda was curious to see how Sabrina would get out of this mess. Meanwhile, their conversation had caught the attention of the other colleagues in the office who were now looking in their direction.No one in their right mind would enjoy being interrogated like that. Those who couldn’t stand the scrutiny might have even cried if they were asked such a question.However, Sabrina remained calm. “Whose mistress, if I may ask?”“What do you mean?!” Linda replied harshly.“If you are asking whether I’m your husband’s mistress, then I have to apologise, since I don’t even know who he is. And even if I am, you’re the one who should go home and teach your jerk of a husband a lesson first!”When she heard Sabrin
After Linda left, Sabrina continued with her work and started organizing the new documents that had been given to her.She decided that she could continue working here so long as nobody else caused any more trouble for her.So far, her first day in the company had been a combination of both excitement and frustration. Sabrina had initially assumed that she would be asked to work overtime in order to finish organizing the documents, and was surprised when Linda told her to pack up when office hours were over. “We don’t work overtime here. You can finish up the work tomorrow. Don’t wear yourself out or you’ll look old and sallow. When that happens, you won’t be able to be a mistress anymore. Let’s call it a day!”Though Linda had used a sarcastic tone, Sabrina was not bothered by it in the least.She picked up her bag and left along with the rest of her colleagues. As she was walking out, she saw Yvonne waiting for her by the service desk.“Sabrina!” Yvonne shouted at her excitedly.“I
Sabrina replied coldly, “I have nothing to say about that.”At that moment, Sebastian was left speechless by her words.Even Kingston who was driving couldn’t help but look back.Madam was so cool.In this entire city, no one had ever talked back to Master Sebastian with that tone. Madam was the first and perhaps the only one who would ever do that.After a while, Sebastian raised his eyebrows and started to speak again. “How should I know anything about it if I don’t work at your company? I still need you to tell me.”He had never acted so patiently with anyone, much less an irritating lady like Sabrina who constantly challenged him.At least she knew how to protect herself well.Even after causing such a fuss in the cafeteria earlier, Sabrina could still continue eating her lunch calmly as if nothing had happened.No wonder she was Aino’s mum.When Sebastian heard what she said, he started to realise where Aino had gotten her cunning and sly personality from. She didn’t just inherit
Sabrina got out of the car and went to pick up Aino from the kindergarten by herself. At that moment, Aino waved goodbye to a girl around the same height as her and said, “Bye, Susan.”The girl, Susan, was leaving the kindergarten with her mum.When Aino noticed that Sabrina was there as well, she quickly ran into her embrace, shouting, “See, Susan, my mum is here to pick me up too.”With just a few steps, she reached Sabrina who was coincidentally standing right beside Susan and Susan’s mother.Sabrina greeted them politely. “Nice to meet you.”Susan raised her head and greeted her back with a soft voice. “Hi auntie, Aino and I are good friends.”However, just as she finished speaking, her mother dragged her away forcefully. She scolded, “Don’t be friends with someone like her. Her mum dresses like a country bumpkin, she looks so ugly!”Her comments left both Sabrina and Aino at a loss for words.After a while, Sabrina held Aino’s hand and said to her gently, changing the subject, “Le
As Sebastian had noticed how unfashionable Sabrina looked in the morning, he decided to get some outfits from his own company’s clothing stores for her. Right after his afternoon meeting had concluded, he went to place some orders which led to the two car-loads worth of clothing and four sales assistants that were in front of them now.Sabrina couldn’t help but be stunned when she watched them carry the clothes into her apartment.Meanwhile, in her excitement, Aino began shrieking happily and sounded much like a bird. After all, she had never seen her mum wearing anything fancy when they were living in Ciarrai County. Now, with so many pretty clothes to choose from, no one will ever make fun of how she looked anymore.After the sales assistants finally left, Sabrina could only stare at all the clothes that filled her closet in amazement.Was she happy?Sebastian had started to treat her much better now, compared to when she was first brought here from Ciarrai county. Perhaps it was all
At the same time, Sabrina wanted to gloat.Sebastian has finally found his match!“Alright!” Sebastian suddenly said.Aino asked happily in anticipation, “Are you willing to help me…?”“No!” To her dismay, Sebastian cut her off mid sentence.When she heard that, Aino was at a loss for words.“You can call me whatever you like, but I won’t help you set up the toy regardless.” Sebastian’s tone sounded calm but firm at the same time.This seemed to frustrate Aino. She pouted and said angrily, “I don’t want to build the toy anymore! I don’t want to play with it! That solves everything! Hmph!”Kids around four to five years old tended to lose focus easily. They didn’t understand the concept of perseverance.After all, Aino was still very young. She was used to giving up constantly, even when she was staying in Ciarrai county.However, Aino would always ask her Uncle Zayn for help. He would satisfy Aino’s requests and demands, regardless of how small they were. “It’s fine…Aino is still so li
Sabrina enjoyed watching how Aino delighted in her own work.It was extremely touching to see a kid accomplishing something on her own.Furthermore, the experience seemed to motivate both her and Aino.After building her first robot through dedication and perseverance, Aino’s interest started to grow as well. She even demanded to build a second one.However, when he heard this, Sebastian raised his eyebrows and warned her, “This is even harder than the one you completed earlier.”He didn’t expect Aino to succeed this time.She was still a kid after all. On top of that, he believed that there should be an order for everything, and that included building robots as well. One had to progress gradually, starting with something simple before moving to a more difficult one.Yet, this only made Aino more competitive. She furrowed her eyebrows back at her father. ‘Hmph! Stinky Bum Daddy, don’t look down on me. Do you want to bet on whether I can build this too?”“I don’t think you can!” Sebasti
Sebastian was the head of his entire family and practically had control over the whole city. He was like the king of this land.Yet, he would still do anything for his daughter. Humans were such strange creatures. Since Sabrina had rarely seen her daughter be so happy, she decided not to disturb her. When it was almost nine thirty, Aino started to feel tired and so Sabrina brought her to the bathroom to wash up. Then, she helped Aino to change into a cute set of Pikachu themed pajamas. As Aino was being tucked in bed, she started to mumble, “Mum, I want dad… Stinky Bum to read me stories.”When she heard this, Sabrina didn’t know how to respond.Before she could say no to Aino, Sebastian suddenly walked in from behind her, as if on cue.It turns out that his stories were different from the ones Sabrina usually told.She had only ever read warm and happy stories to Aino.In contrast, Sebastian told stories of hardship, conflicts, and disasters. He would even act out the scenes, which k
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
