However, it was obvious that Emma was here especially for Sabrina today. Was it because of Ryan that she came to pick a fight today? If not, was she here to help Ruth vent the vexed feeling she had? Sabrina guessed that she should be here because of Ryan. After all, Emma and Ruth also do not have much to do with each other. At this point, Sabrina had no choice but to speak up. Her tone remained calm, “Miss Emma, I am just a poor worker. If you think that I’m not suitable to work here, then I’ll resign immediately.”“No! No! No!” Emma shook her head with a smile. “You’re definitely not as simple as just a poor worker, Miss Scott.”Sabrina frowned. “…What do you mean?”What does Emma know? Emma leaned in on Sabrina’s ear and whispered word by word. “You b*tch truly has a lot of guts. You actually came to my Poole family’s company to work, and you even made one whole set of fake resumes. I think you want to go to jail for the second time?”Sabrina’s face suddenly turned pale.Emma
Sabrina was speechless. To her surprise, it was not because of Ryan. It was the helper that Selene found instead. After so long without Selene’s news, she finally made her move, and she even has such a deadly hold on Sabrina.Sabrina sighed in sorrow. She just sent off Emma, who has successfully come to show her dominance, with her eyes. After Emma left, the office instantly exploded with talks. “Sabrina! Miss Emma is a lady with a very high and important position in the entire Kidon City. I’ll see how you can still fight against her!” Linda degraded Sabrina without even trying to conceal her intentions.“You had been stepping on our Linda these days. This could finally be considered bad retribution for a wicked person like you!”“Sabrina! Do you think you have a king in your house? You even dare to offend Miss Emma, tsk tsk tsk…Seeing your obedient and frightened look now really uplifted my mood, hahaha!”At this moment, even the design director could not help Sabrina. She only
Yvonne felt that her cousin, Kingston, was the personal bodyguard for Sebastian. At least when something happened, her cousin would be able to keep her alive. Yvonne looked at Sabrina seriously. “Sabrina, you are my cousin’s friend. Go find him. My cousin is the driver for Sebastian. Maybe my cousin could help you out.”Sabrina shook her head. “Nobody could help me on this matter.”“Isn’t it just because of Ryan? It wasn’t even you who initiated to look for Ryan. Also, you had not even had a meal with Ryan until now, you haven’t even talked to him much.”Sabrina shook her head. “It’s not because of this, you don’t understand. It’s okay, let’s not talk about it. You don’t have to worry about me. I will be fine. Also, Yvonne, please help me keep this a secret. Do not tell your cousin, Kingston, about this matter, alright?”Yvonne did not understand. “Why can’t I tell him?”Sabrina shook her head. “Your cousin is just a driver. He can’t help me, and it will cause him trouble. I wan
The woman who spoke to Sabrina was someone Sabrina had never seen before. The woman looked rather pretty and the way she dressed was even more luxurious and expensive than Susan’s mother.A Bentley that was worth nearly three million dollars was parked nearby. Sabrina could tell at a glance that this woman was the wife of a rich man.Sabrina could tell how harsh was the tone of the rich lady. However, because of the incident in the morning where Emma had come looking for trouble, Sabrina did not want to have new problems to complicate things. She immediately asked the rich lady in front of her humbly. “May I know which child’s mother you are? I’m sorry that I’ve been too busy these past two days, and I missed out on responding in our small group functions. However, I will attend the party our group is holding. May I know which hotel it would be at, or whose house would it be at? No matter which hotel or whose house, I will pay the amount that is needed, and I will proactively respo
“Mom, I know. She is the mother of my classmate, Mia Collen,” Aino answered in a rush.“Oh…” She was the group admin. Sabrina finally met her today.Sebastian looked at Sabrina irritabl. “Even Aino knows more people than you!”Sabrina was speechless. She did not answer but only looked out the window. Sebastian looked at her. What’s wrong with her today?She had always been quiet, but today was a little abnormal. It was as if her soul had left her body. Just the past two days, she was still meek like a little deer. She would often proactively come looking for him, hide in his covers, and would also bury her face in his neck. She would happily rest on his shoulder. What happened today? Sebastian looked at Sabrina whose mind was wandering, then he raised his hands to touch her forehead. “Are you sick?”Sabrina shivered slightly, then answered him with a delayed reaction. “No…no.”He could tell by his touch that she did not have a fever. Her forehead was cool, and she is not havi
Sabrina's heart sank at his words but she managed to maintain calm on the outside. She avoided looking directly at Sebastian but instead turned to look outside the window. Her expression was indifferent, almost as though she was trapped in her own world and nothing outside that world would interest or affect her. She was likely to remain the same even if there was a knife against her throat. Sebastian had always liked that expression on her and how she sat upright. He reached out an arm to hold her gently from behind her back, Sabrina did not object to it and leaned over towards him like a clingy little kitten. He might have only reminded her not to bother herself with what happened to Emma, but she had read through the texts and understood that his friendship with the Poole Family was simply far too valuable for a woman Sebastian brought home to question anything related to them. There could also be a possibility that he deliberately stayed with the Poole Family in the Kidon City for
The difference in power in their relationship was simply far too big for her to ever escape him. He could care for her, teach her how to drive, get a marriage certificate with her or even take her back to the Ford Residence to announce his claim over her, but when it came back to choosing between his best friend and her, Sabrina knew she was disposable. She remained silent even after they arrived home and left Aino to spend time with Sebastian after dinner, as they always did. She took her phone and went back to the bedroom, before opening the private group chat among parents of the kindergarten Aino went to and started checking all the messages. She didn't have the time to check and now that she had, she noticed that there were people in the group that questioned her worthiness of being added into the chat room. When she had failed to reply, the few mothers that were more active than others began gossiping and said something along the lines of "Aino's mother just keeps quiet wheneve
"A very important phone call? Should I go up to ask for the money from him?" Sabrina considered for a moment before giving up and decided to wait for him downstairs instead. Sabrina thought that it must have been something he didn't want anyone to know if he went all the way to the top floor for the call. She was right, Sebastian did not want Sabrina anywhere near him when he was on that call.Ten years ago when Sebastian was exiled overseas, the second lady of the Poole Family, Emma who had just turned eighteen, pursued him passionately. However, Sebastian was on the run at the time and had no interest in romance. Furthermore, he disliked the arrogance and selfishness of wealthy young women like Emma so had therefore rejected her multiple times. When that didn't work, Sebastian escalated to verbal insults in order to be rid of Emma's persistent pursuit. Needless to say, Emma was heartbroken and remained so for a year or two afterwards, when she finally gave up on Sebastian.Every time
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
