Ryan stood frozen in shock as different emotions ran across his mind. He stuttered as he struggled to process the information along with the disbelief. "You...but you look so young! Are you saying you are married?""Um, excuse me, could you move out of the way?" Sabrina could sense the chilling glare coming from inside the black limo as though the man was standing right before her.Ryan persistently stood before her. "Sabrina, is your husband treating you the way you deserve to be treated? You must have been tricked into this marriage, aren't you? Why else would you get married at such an early age?""I'm sorry, Master Ryan, but please move." And with that, Sabrina shoved him aside before striding off."Sabrina!" Ryan shouted from behind her, "even if you really are married, you still have the freedom to make friends as you please!"If it wasn't that Sebastian was waiting for her, Sabrina would have stopped to ask Ryan what was it about her that attracted him? Was it that she was not t
’Why do you keep bringing it up?’ he thought.The sound of Kingston chuckling had deepened Sabrina's panic. Lucky for her, though Kingston was hired by Sebastian, he tended to be more supportive of Sabrina and immediately jumped into the conversation by explaining, "Mrs. Ford, I believe Master Sebastian is asking if you are free over the weekend. If so, he would like to take you to the driving school for your lessons.""Oh..." So he didn't need to ask her anything about Ryan? That's for the best, since she never had anything to speak of regarding Ryan to begin with."Tomorrow is my rest day," she responded as she looked at Sebastian.He did not react in any way but remained expressionless. Sabrina could not figure out what the man was thinking even if her life depended on it, and decided to remain silent as well. It was not until they had picked Aino up from the kindergarten that the car was once again filled with laughter."Mommy," said Aino as soon as she was in the car. "Susan's mom
Sabrina soon realized she had underestimated how fast his train of thoughts truly was when she was carried into the bedroom. They had mentioned Ryle Poole in the car after work and that swiftly turned into a discussion of whether she had a rest day over the weekend; they were just talking about exchanging contact and the man's thought seemed to have traced back to the matter with Ryan as soon as he slammed the bedroom door behind him."Is your man better than Ryan Poole?" he asked."...I don't know." Sabrina barely even knew Ryan in person, how was she to judge whether he was better?"You don't know?" he smirked and continued, "Well, then you will have to be punished!""You...you are better than him.""And who am I?" he asked relentlessly."My...my husband is better than Ryle Poole...a hundred times better," she caved and muttered.The last thought that filled Sabrina right before she fell asleep that night was how vengeful Sebastian was. The only reason he did not mention anything whe
"Where is Aino, Aunt Lewis?" Sabrina paced into the kitchen to find Aunt Lewis cooking a stew."Mrs. Ford, why didn't you sleep a bit longer?" Aunt Lewis smiled gently at Sabrina and explained, "Assistant Yates had taken the little princess with him this morning under Master Sebastian's orders. He said he was going to take the little princess to the amusement park. The little princess was so excited for it when she headed out, she specifically asked that no one disturb her mommy in her sleep.""Oh...thank you, Aunt Lewis." Sabrina grinned in relief. Aunt Lewis's words reminded her that Kingston seemed to have mentioned that Sebastian would be taking her to take driving lessons, which naturally, Aino would not be able to follow. Regardless, she felt assured that it was Kingston who was taking care of Aino.After the meal, Sebastian took Sabrina to the driving school they had gone to before. They arrived at the school close to dusk, whereas this time they had arrived early before noon. D
Sabrina turned around to look at Sebastian with eyes widened in awe.Sebastian's icy expression remained unwavering. "There is no possible way to take a driving lesson for someone as horrible as you, is there? A mere driving lesson can have you screaming at the top of your lungs, could you be held responsible if you end up bumping into someone or scaring people around you? Your life isn't worth that much, but my daughter cannot be motherless!"Sabrina knew the man was ruthless but she never truly expected him to be this mean. She gave up on the notion to argue as she knew she wouldn't win against the man, and instead changed the subject. "So...which of these trainers will be training me?""Me!" he scoffed.Once again, Sabrina found herself rendered speechless as she silently judged the man before her, thinking, ‘This guy just has too much money in his hand for him to spend twenty thousand just so that he can do stuff himself, what's wrong with him?’Sebastian was not fooled by her sile
The clothes that she was wearing had made her look like an innocent teenage girl who had been locked away in a tower for her entire life and was just introduced to the world. Sabrina chuckled sarcastically at her own thoughts, who would complement themselves in such a way?"Sabrina," she scolded herself mentally, "you can't allow yourself to lose yourself in this any longer. Look at you, you've forgotten all about Zayn, where is he right now? Is he doing okay?"Sabrina's expression darkened at the thought of Zayn. She did not want to think of Nigel, especially when she was called homewrecker repeatedly by Ruth Mann in the office. But at that very moment, she desperately wanted to see Nigel and ask him about the whereabouts of Zayn. After all, Nigel had promised to look for Zayn.With a heavy heart, she stepped out of the restroom. She did not see Sebastian waiting, but heard his chilling voice came from behind her."I hope for your sake that you are not thinking about another man! If y
The woman who saw Sabrina was one of the staff in the company she was currently working at, an admin for the human Resources department called Windy Sand. Windy was rather close to Linda in the office."You know that woman?" Windy's boyfriend asked."Just a new designer in our firm. She crawled her way up into being one of the top-dogs despite having just joined for two weeks," Windy replied, envy and despise filled her voice."She doesn't seem like an ordinary woman." Her boyfriend's tone was less personal but more matter-of-fact. "Otherwise she wouldn't have the power to get the place cleared up just so she can take her driving lesson.""Ha! She isn't that special! She just got lucky that Master Ryan took interest in her, that doesn't make her any less ordinary! Though...it doesn't seem like it's Master Ryan who's teaching her drive, Master Ryan isn't that tall." The distance had made it difficult for Windy to see Sebastian's face, but she wouldn't be able to identify him even if she
"Sure," he nodded without hesitation. Sebastian could tell that she was tired so he was willing to comply if she wanted to head home.Upon arriving home at two in the afternoon, however, Sabrina was not greeted by Aunt Lewis's steaming stew as she was expected. This was usually that time when Aunt Lewis would be cleaning the house, but she was nowhere to be found.They immediately called Aunt Lewis, only to find out that she was at the amusement park with their little princess Aino."Master Sebastian..." Aunt Lewis was taken by surprise when she got the call from Sebastian and explained hastily, "I...I had no idea that you would be coming home for lunch this afternoon. You...you did not mention anything, you see. Assistant Yates was very certain that you and Mrs. Ford will not be coming home for lunch, so he called me over to keep the little princess company. He said there had to be a woman around to take the little princess to the ladies' room whenever she needed.""Fine, keep Aino co
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
