“Can you drive?” Sebastian, who was sitting in the car, asked her.Sabrina was confused by the sudden question but answered anyway. “No.”Meanwhile, Kingston, who had overheard them, added, “Madam, in this day and age, when everyone owns a driving license, how come you can’t drive?”Just this morning, Kingston had been worried to death that his Master Sebastian would fire him. Yet now, just a few hours later, he went back to acting all chummy with Sabrina. Even Kingston himself didn’t realize how ballsy he had gotten recently. Still, his question made Sabrina pause for a moment. As she sat in the car without saying a word, her eyes betrayed a look of desolation. If any other newcomer had been faced with the same issues that Sabrina encountered at the company, they would definitely have quit at the first second.Not Sabrina.Ever since she turned twelve and spent her days being bullied and spat on in the Lynn family, Sabrina learned how to be resilient. If she ran away every time
As Sabrina continued to be immersed in her memories, the car moved forward. When she finally snapped awake, she quickly turned to Sebastian and asked him in a panic, “Where…where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to go pick Aino up?”“To buy you a car,” he replied casually.“But…but I don’t drive,” Sabrina stuttered.Without looking at her, Sebastian asked back nonchalantly, “And could you walk right after you were born?”Sabrina could not answer.“Pah…” Kingston, who was in the driver’s seat, couldn't help but laugh.He realized that he had been seeing such displays of affection quite frequently ever since Master Sebastian brought Madam back from Ciarrai County. Master Sebastian does show his love quite differently from other men.Though he sounded cool and sarcastic on the surface, his actions could be extremely sweet when he felt like it. After all, who else in this whole world would ask the woman he loved such a question when buying her a car?Only Master Sebastian would.
Sebastian kept quiet as he waited for Aino to speak.Even though the little thing still called him Stinky Bum, she was clearly much more intimate to Sebastian now than when she first came to his home. Aino whispered into her father’s ear mischievously, "Daddy, I’ve heard what Mommy said in her dream before."He instinctively turned to Sabrina without saying a word.Noticing his glance, Sabrina looked at the father and daughter with a confused expression.Aino continued, "My mother was saying that she doesn't want to like you in her dream. However, I know what that actually means. She was trying to say that she likes you very much instead!"Sebastian was taken aback by her keen insight. This little thing!As expected of his daughter, the five-year-old girl could already see through the words and actions of adults. She had understood her mother’s thoughts very well, which was probably how she managed to ruthlessly kill three birds with one stone, including defending her mother's
After thinking about it, a job at a construction site as a technician or something else would probably suit her better.The work would be dirty and taxing, but at least the people there were clean. Sabrina decided that she would aim for various construction sites around the city tomorrow.When morning came, she didn’t tell Sebastian about her losing her job or her plan to find work. Sabrina didn’t like him snooping around asking questions, but most of all, she didn’t want him to know she had gotten into a fight with a colleague after only two days of work.After breakfast, Sabrina and Sebastian sent Aino to kindergarten together, with Kingston driving. Then they drove to Sabrina’s old office. When the car stopped, Sebastian reminded her again, “Don’t stay in the office too late. I’m bringing you for driving lessons after work.”Sabrina simply nodded and replied, “Ok.”When she was sure that Kingston and Sebastian had driven away, Sabrina quickly boarded the bus. After about five
Meanwhile, the car continued zooming ahead uncontrollably. Sabrina was flailing about in Sebastian’s arms, crying and screaming. In contrast, he didn’t panic at all. He simply held Sabrina tightly with one arm before grabbing onto the steering wheel with his other hand. His thin lips whispered soothingly in Sabrina's ears, "Don't be scared, don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let go of your foot."When she heard this, Sabrina started to calm down.At first, she couldn’t even bring herself to open her eyes. As Sebastian gradually steadied the car, she found the courage to raise her head a little and peek at what was going on. When Sebastian felt her flinching again, he quickly wrapped his arm around her tightly and steered the car with his other arm from the passenger seat.At that moment, Sabrina’s heart was pounding so quickly that she could even start to hear her own heartbeat.The car continued to drive a long way out. Since this particular road was used exclusively by learners, there
He used to think it was because she was cold-tempered, didn't care about everything, and had very little ties, that she looked much younger than her peers, but today, Sebastian suddenly found out that Sabrina's skin was really healthy.Especially fully moisturized, her small face was full of collagen. Her natural, makeup-free face was enough to mesmerize him to the point where he was unable to look away. Seeing Sebastian look at her like that, Sabrina blushed immediately.Her red cheeks looked like two ripe apples, Sabrina didn't know what to say, coughing slightly. "Uhm..."Before she could finish speaking, her lips were already covered by his.What he didn't finish on the training lane at the driving institute was to be done at home after all. Before she knew it, he had carried her into their bedroom. It goes without saying that the night passed beautifully.Sabrina was in good spirits the next day. She felt that for her, life like this was considered very good, almost perfect.
Sabrina turned around. It was Ryan.“Master…Master Ryan, uhm, Director Poole?” Sabrina addressed him instinctively, “Why are you here?”Ryan lifted his eyebrows. “This is our company’s project. Why are you here on behalf of our company? Did the design department send you?”Sabrina replied, “I’m sorry, but I already quit. I came here today to apply for a job, and it just so happened that a problem like this occurred. I…I can help you solve the problem.”Ryan couldn’t help studying her from head to toe. “You…”Sabrina nodded. “Yes.”Ryan immediately turned to the technicians. “Alright, let this pretty girl try telling us her plan.”With that, he ran his eyes over her critically again. A week had passed since he last saw her. She looked much better than she did last time, glowing from within, as if she had absorbed all the nutrients she needed. A healthy pink flush covered her skin like a baby’s. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, and her clothes were plain, but somehow, she had grown
“Why…why don’t you want to work there anymore?” Ryan asked Sabrina in confusion.She didn’t feel like explaining herself. Right when Ryan was planning to call the company to enquire about this matter, Sabrina’s phone rang again. She took a look at the screen. Unexpectedly, it was the design director who sent her home to take a break. She answered coldly, “I’m sorry director, I’m at my new job now. Is there anything you would like to say? Please make it quick.”On the other side of the phone, the design director said pleasingly, “Sabrina, I didn’t mean for you to quit. I just asked you to go home to hide it for a while. Miss Ruth has recovered from her injuries and is back at work now. She’s not angry anymore. So only now do I dare to call you and ask you to come back.”Sabrina frowned. “Is that true?”The director was helpless too. She hoped Sabrina would quit too. As the design director, she didn’t want any trouble, but she never expected Ruth would ask for Sabrina the moment sh
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
