Innocent till proven guilty. She didn’t do anything, so obviously she wasn’t willing to bear any responsibility. As such she could only go to the construction site with them to determine who was at fault!The entire design department took a company bus and went directly to the construction site. On the way, her colleagues took turns attacking her."If you’re a mistress, just stay a mistress. Could you not come to the company and harm others in the future? Let me tell you the cold, hard truth! If it’s your fault, you will be responsible for it alone. Do you think the construction projects are a game? If something goes wrong, people’s lives can be endangered, we might be thrown in jail! Can you afford to bear the responsibility? Even if you can’t, you have to! Don't try to run away! You can seduce men anywhere. Why would you come to our construction company? Do you think everyone in our company is blind?"Along the way, they took turns attacking her, almost pointing at her nose and s
Everyone was stunned the moment Sabrina’s words left her mouth. A quiet country bumpkin who was suspended for a week after working for two days, said she knew how to rectify the mistake?“Sabrina, don’t brag and give empty promises just because you were attacked by Linda! Construction matters must be taken seriously!” Even the design director was now displeased with Sabrina. Sabrina answered calmly, neither humbly nor boastfully. “I have a condition.”She looked at Linda. “Linda, the contents of both our computers can prove I never touched your designs at all, so if I help you solve the problem now, I’m doing you a big favor. I want to know if you will be paying me personally or if the company will be paying me. Why don’t you discuss this with everyone else?”Linda was speechless. “You…you still want payment? You…how much do you want?”“Ten thousand dollars!” Sabrina said directly.Everyone present was stunned.“This is daylight robbery!” Linda shouted.“Do you know how big yo
"Or else!"Linda could feel her legs giving in to the pressure. "Director, I...where on earth am I going to find ten thousand dollars?" she pleaded, on the brink of tears. "My boyfriend has just broken up with me so I won't be getting any allowance from him anymore. I have to pay the loan for my car and my apartment all by myself now, and the twenty thousand I am earning each month isn't even enough for those. I don't have any savings for this." The Design Director rolled her eyes at Linda and considered the situation. The entire Design Department would have to suffer the consequences if they failed to resolve the situation. She sighed heavily and rolled her eyes at Linda again, before looking over at Sabrina."Sabrina, I know you had been mistreated last week. This is what I'll propose, Linda will personally owe you ten thousand dollars, but she is obviously incapable of paying you right now. You need to come with me to the office later, I will talk to the Finance Department and have
Sabrina was slightly appalled when she saw Ryan at that moment. The fact that she had been fired after only working here for two days was mainly because of him. Had Ryan not behaved so eagerly around her, she would not have to face the overwhelming jealousy from every female colleague from the office, so much so that Ruth decided to get her in trouble. Ryan was the sole reason as to why she had faced obstacles, one after another. He was no different from Nigel six years ago, just a playboy that was tired of all the beautiful women surrounding him and decided that he wanted to try something new with someone dull and nerdy for a change. But Sabrina had grown out of her foolishness from six years ago. She would not allow herself to be affected by a man like Ryan any longer, which explained her reluctance to show any interest when Ryan was speaking directly to her.Sabrina's expression remained cold in front of Ryan, so much so the Design Director had to remind her by saying, "Sabrina, it'
Yvonne practically pounced on Sabrina with excitement as soon as she saw her. "Sabrina, where have you been this entire week? Why didn't you tell me anything? I had thought we could go grab a bite a few days ago, only to find out that you were on a business trip. Hey, which city did you go to? Do I get any souvenirs?" she asked playfully.Yvonne's innocent and sincere smile had always been a soft spot in Sabrina's heart. She looked apologetically at Yvonne and explained, "I'm so sorry, I sort of forgot...""Oh, come on, that's totally okay, Sabrina. I was just joking around. I know it's only been a few days since you joined us and you probably haven't gotten your salary yet. You wouldn't have the extra money to get me anything," said Yvonne with a cheerful smile on her face."Sabrina might not have the money, but I do!" Out of nowhere, Ryan decided to join the conversation and said, "So she forgot to buy you something from her business trip, right? How about this, I'll get you somethin
"What's wrong?" Sabrina was confused as to why Yvonne looked shocked by what she said."Nothing, Sabrina." Yvonne shook her head with a grin. "You were the only one who stood up against Ruth Poole, and the first one to ever reject Master Ryan. It's actually the first time Master Ryan had invited someone in the office for dinner, you know? Who would have thought that he would get rejected? Sabrina, you seem like such a nice girl, I didn't think you had it in you."Yvonne had known since the very first moment she met Sabrina that they would become close friends. She admired Sabrina's innocence and how she kept to herself without speaking too much.Coincidentally, Sabrina happened to share the same feelings towards Yvonne. She did not have any friends and ever since the day she was released from prison six years ago, she had been caught in a world of dramas and backstabbing. She had never met anyone that would open up to her like Yvonne did, and so she treasured their friendship and treat
Sabrina had only wished to bargain her way into an increment of two thousands, so it was entirely beyond her expectation that she was offered five thousands instead. But in truth, she would prefer a less toxic environment if she was to stay."I accept, Director. But I have a condition," she said. "I no longer wish to work for Linda, I want to be her supervisor. Anything she does will have to go through me. Is that something you can arrange?"It wasn't that Sabrina wanted to bully Linda. She realized as soon as she entered the company on the very first day that Linda was brilliant in her designs when she was reviewing Linda's blueprints, though she approached designing with a style that differed from Sabrina.Sabrina was aware that the only way to grow was to absorb whatever experience she could from others, and the best way to do so was to ensure that she had access to all of Linda's designs."I can take back my request for the ten thousand," seeing that the Director was remaining sile
Silence fell upon the office as everyone tried to process what Sabrina had just said.It was only a few moments after that Linda finally snapped out of her dazed state. "What...what are you saying?"Sabrina was never skilled in communication and opted to explain in a matter-of-fact tone. "I am staying here to work so you are changing stations with me. I am taking over your position and you are going to be my assistant. All blueprints you produce from this point onwards will have to go through me before being put into practice."Linda seemed dazed for a split second, before she snapped. "Sabrina Scott! Do you think that you are suddenly the better person for handling the incident for me? Please, be that as it may, you have also scammed your way into taking ten thousand dollars from me! What else do you want? You want to be on top? No freaking way! Everyone, you heard it, not only did this woman force me into paying her ten thousand dollars, she is now asking for me to gather up my thing
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
