Why was she trying so hard even when she didn't fit in?! Does she seriously believe that people will start to think of her as a member of the upper class just because she dressed her child up in luxurious clothes? That’s ridiculous!Meanwhile, Sabrina still didn’t say a word. She could tell that when this woman had called her a country bumpkin the other day, it had just been to satisfy her own sense of superiority. However, when Susan’s mother saw that Aino was dressed prettier and more elegant than her own daughter today, she couldn’t restrain herself anymore. Envy and jealousy overwhelmed her!Just as Sabrina had been about to snap back at Susan’s mother, an arm suddenly appeared from behind and rested on her shoulders. When she turned her head, she saw Sebastian looking back at her.As he pulled Sabrina into his arms, an off-road vehicle worth tens of millions pulled up beside them slowly."Do you know her?" Sebastian asked with a cold tone.Still shocked from finding herself i
When she heard Ruth’s voice, Sabrina tried to ignore it and headed straight for the elevator inside the lobby.She wasn’t about to start retaliating immediately just because Sebastian had told her not to tolerate people who bullied her. By her nature, Sabrina wasn't a competitive person at all. Furthermore, since she was in the company now, she didn’t want to waste her time with Ruth, someone who only managed to get hired because of family relations and had no intelligence of her own to speak of.Sabrina pressed the buttons for both elevators at the same time. However, just as the doors to one of the elevators opened, Ruth managed to catch up to her. "Sabrina! Who do you think you are? Do you think that you’re better than everyone here just because Master Ryan showed you some attention? Let me tell you, you’re no better than any other woman he keeps under his belt!"As soon as Ruth finished speaking, Sabrina went into the elevator. She immediately followed behind her.When Sabrin
"You...just you wait!" Ruth was out of breath, her lips starting to turn purple. She tried stroking her chest to calm herself down as much as possible before limping out of the design department."Not bad!" Linda sneered sarcastically at Sabrina.However, Sabrina said nothing, and pretended not to hear her. She started to immerse herself in her work. When she proofread one of Linda’s works earlier, Sabrina had discovered some problems with the design.Linda's style often incorporated glamor and flamboyance. Though it looked particularly attractive at first glance, and would likely amaze its viewers, Sabrina knew that architecture cannot be regarded and treated the same as fashion design.If the architect only took aesthetics into account and overlooked the building’s stability, many hazards to safety will start to reveal themselves during construction.Shouldn’t a senior designer like Linda already know this?Sabrina looked towards her.Meanwhile, Linda had been making fun of Sa
Sabrina glanced at Linda momentarily, before picking up a pile of documents that she had finished proofreading. She then walked over to Linda's desk, saying straightforwardly, "Linda, I’ve finished proofreading these. Here you go."Linda simply grabbed the documents and stared at the person standing in front of her blankly.Sabrina continued, without beating around the bush, "Linda, I'm going to eat my lunch now, and will review the rest later. Since there are not too many people in the cafeteria now, I’ll head there first, so that I won’t get stared at later."Linda sneered at her, "Sabrina, it seems that you know how to survive now."Sabrina smiled slightly at the sarcastic remark. "You have to learn how to adapt in the workplace. I'll get going now."Before Linda could get in another word, Sabrina turned around to leave the design department.Just as she walked out, a group of her colleagues started to mumble to themselves almost immediately.They all had expressions of pity
"Yes, that’s fine. It's no big deal since it doesn't violate any issues of privacy. You’re just watching the CCTV recording of your desk, so there’s nothing wrong with that," one security guard said very politely, while the other nodded fervently in agreement.Just like that, they managed to obtain the video recording. Sabrina rewinded the video to the hour she had spent in Human Resources. She found her suspect just ten minutes into the video.It must have been only about fifteen minutes after she had been called away by Human Resources when Ruth carefully pushed a swivel chair to Sabrina's desk. As she was rolling Sabrina’s original chair away, Ruth seemed much more casual and brisk, the complete opposite of how cautious she had looked when she was bringing the new chair in."Why did she replace your chair?" Yvonne asked, confused."I want to find out too," Sabrina replied, her eyes still glued to the screen.After leaving the surveillance room, she headed back to the design d
Ruth found herself stuck between the seat of the swivel chair and the bearing underneath. The chair was now tilted to one side, after collapsing from Ruth’s weight on it. Meanwhile, some of the metal components that had gotten loose had somehow penetrated her skin.As she bled, Ruth's posture looked even more ridiculous. She was half squatting, as if she was using the toilet. Furthermore, since her hips were stuck in the chair, Ruth had tried to grab the table with both hands to balance herself, but it only made her look more like she was having difficulty passing motion. Coupled with her wailing voice that sounded like a pig’s cry, the scene in her office was as ugly as it could possibly be.When her colleagues saw how Ruth looked in that position, they couldn't resist anymore and burst into laughter.As they laughed, blood kept flowing out of Ruth's back."Are all of you crazy?! Stop laughing and call an ambulance now. Call the police while you’re at it so they can catch this mis
After looking around in the office, Ruth had found a pair of cotton trousers that were meant for winter use as a temporary replacement.On the other hand, Sabrina was wearing pants that were made out of very thin fabric.In other words, if Sabrina had been the one who sat on the broken chair, she could have very well be dead by now."Sabrina! You’re just a new employee, so how could you do such a vicious thing? Do you know that this is a crime, and can be considered as malicious harm?!" the manager of the Human Resources Department scolded as they stood outside the emergency room.Sabrina replied with a soft voice, "I’m just a newcomer who has only been to work for two days, so where could I have gotten such a chair?"This took the manager by surprise and left him speechless for a moment. After a pause, he whispered, "They...all claimed that you were the one who pushed this chair over to Miss Mann.""Yeah! And where did I push this chair from?""Where? From your own desk! That s
To Sabrina, South City had always been nothing but a hotbed of trouble. It was a fact that she had known by heart ever since she first came here at the age of twelve. As such, Sabrina had learned that it was best to ignore situations like this.Since she had no choice but to live in South City for now, the only thing she could do was to stay calm and learn to be more forgiving. If she encountered unavoidable conflicts, she would deal with them accordingly. Right now, all she wanted was to do her job well. She didn't want to cause any more trouble if she could avoid it.Yet, as Sabrina said that, the other colleagues suddenly shrunk back into their desks at the same time. No one dared to open their mouths again after hearing her jarring words.Sabrina spent the afternoon at her desk, helping Linda proofread some of the first drafts she had given her. At one point, she got up to ask tentatively, "Linda, your designs...""Can you understand my designs?" Although Linda wasn’t audacious
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
