When Sabrina was deeply asleep in Sebastian’s arms that night, her sleep was sweet and dreamless. However, far away in Kidon City, Selene bawled throughout the night.She cried so much that her voice had turned hoarse, her eyes were red and swollen, and her dark circles went deep and puffy. When the doctor came to the hospital to check on Old Master Shaw early in the morning, he looked at Selene and thought he saw a ghost.One of the housemen was so terrified that she almost broke into tears at the sight of Selene.Selene’s gaze was dazed and empty.After examining Old Master Shaw, the doctor told him he had fully recovered and left the ward. Selene stood in front of Old Master Shaw at that moment.“Grandpa…” Her voice was hoarse. The Old Master Shaw felt like a knife had sliced through his heart when he saw his granddaughter like that. His voice aged in an instant, “Selene, my good granddaughter! I had always told you. You must be calm, be calm, even in the face of any changes.
On the other end of the phone, Jade confessed swiftly, “It was all because of that damned Sabrina. Otherwise, your father and I wouldn’t have beaten each other up till we almost died.”Selene asked, “…You had beaten each other up till you almost died?”Jade said, “Yeah.”Selene screamed, “This Sabrina! This damned Sabrina!”Selene clenched her fists at that moment. If Sabrina was in front of her right now, she wanted to tear her body into chunks! She ended the call with her parents and immediately dialed Sabrina’s number.Sabrina still lay deeply asleep in Sebastian’s arms at that moment. She had been so mentally distraught the past two days. However, their physical activity last night, plus her originally tightly strung heartstrings, had been relaxed all of a sudden. As a result, she was particularly exhausted and slept throughout the night. She did not know about the few posts that her husband posted about her that night.However, all the netizens were on her side. She did no
“Sabrina Scott! You prisoner! Did you even have a hint of conscience?! My parents raised you for seven or eight years. How could you try to ruin their relationship?!” On the other end, Selene opened her mouth and started cursing her.So what if Sebastian had married her?Selene was not afraid of her.She followed her grandpa to Kidon City to treat his illness and accompanied him throughout his journey. She had seen with her own eyes her grandfather’s influence in Kidon City, the epicenter of the political scene in the entire country. Selene finally realized that her grandpa was so highly respected in South City that even Sebastian honored and respected him.It turned out her grandfather was a well-connected and highly influential man. He knew almost all of the most powerful politicians.Selene would not be afraid of Sabrina even if she married the king or the emperor as she had her grandfather’s support behind her back.On this end, Sabrina cleared her throat and said calmly,
While he remained dazed, Sabrina curled up in bed again and went back to sleep.Sebastian asked, “What’s wrong? You’re not feeling well?”With her back facing him, she raised her arm that was bruised with purple hickeys and hit his chest. He caught her arm in his and stopped her. Her skin was so soft and smooth, he felt like she would bruise it if he pressed any harder. He scooped her out of bed, forcing her to face him and asked her seriously. “Are you sick?”Sabrina shook her head, blushing deeply. She lowered her head and rested it on his chest. He laughed lightly. “You’re already a mother, why are you still so shy!”“I’m not!” she mumbled.“Then why are you still sleeping? You usually don’t sleep this much!” Sebastian was worried she was hiding something from him.Sabrina answered him honestly. “I’m not working anymore. Why should I get up so early?”“What do you mean not working anymore?” he asked her.Sabrina replied, “I was fired. Even if I wasn’t, with just the rumors a
Her kiss was still so awkward, almost covering his lips entirely. She still seemed so lost, unsure of how to position herself. And what’s more, she would often pause, her mind seeming to stop. Because she didn’t know what to do next. Her actions made him so angry. He hooked his left arm around her back, his right hand locked on her head and forced themselves apart, forcing her to look at her, and sneered angrily, “Stupid!”Sabrina blinked.“Despite how much time I’ve spent teaching you, you don’t even know how to kiss!” he snapped.She didn’t know what to say. Was it her fault? Every time he ‘advanced’ on her, was he teaching her? Not at all! Not only did he ‘attack’ her, he even took away her ability to think. Every single time, her mind remained blank. She was always fully led by him, how could she possibly learn? She pouted sadly. Looking at her sweet little mouth, her lips wet and juicy, he forcibly pushed down the evil thoughts in his mind and said hoarsely, “We woke up late, s
“Thank you, Aunt Lewis.” Sabrina smiled.“Mommy, I was late to kindergarten today.” Aino looked at her mother, slightly unhappy.“I’m sorry baby, I won’t wake up late again next time.” Sabrina apologized immediately.Sebastian said to Aino solemnly, “Your Mommy was sick yesterday. Have you forgotten already!”“Oh.” Aino nodded. Right then, Aunt Lewis placed a small glass plate in front of Sabrina. “Madam, this is the black truffle that Sir brought back from Kidon City. Please eat it while it’s hot.”Black truffle? Sabrina never tasted it, but she heard of it before. She heard that a small bowl of it could cost up to about ten thousand dollars? She looked at Sebastian. “Why…why would you get me something so expensive?”Before he could answer, Aino immediately jumped up and questioned her father, “Hmph! You said you came back early, and didn’t have time to buy me toys, but you bought Mommy such expensive and delicious food! Daddy, you’re biased!”Sabrina didn’t know why but she fe
Noticing his stunned expression, Sabrina realized she seemed to be flirting with him. She blushed. He didn’t try to further her embarrassment, instead, he stood up and said, “We’re late, we need to go now.”Sabrina nodded. “Yeah.”The two of them each held onto one of Aino’s hands and left. Behind them, Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna both sighed happily.Aunt Lewis sighed. “Madam is a good woman, and Sir is just more quiet, but he has never mistreated any of us servants. I really don’t understand why there are such rumors of Madam on the internet! If I know who’s responsible, I’ll go talk to them.”“There’s no need to do so, Aunt Lewis. This morning all the articles were taken down, once Sir is back, he can take care of everything,” said Aunt Tianna.Aunt Lewis felt relieved. “That’s good. They should arrest all those people who spread such fake news. We’ll see whether they would still dare to harm people like this again in the future.”Aunt Lewis was just venting her anger. What sh
At the thought that the manager of the HR department had asked her to go to work, Sabrina took it as encouragement. Everything that happened yesterday was in the past. Even the nasty comments and rumors about her online couldn’t be traced anymore, as if it was nothing but a nightmare. Sabrina didn’t want to think about the past, only focusing on the future. In the future, she would be an extremely successful architect, then she would return to her hometown and visit her mother’s grave. Maybe she might even move her parents' grave to South City, so she could go and visit them often. And she wanted to seek revenge on the Lynn family. Especially on Lincoln Lynn. If her guess was accurate, then the person she hated the most in this world was Lincoln Lynn.On the way to her office, Sabrina was busy thinking about these matters and didn’t speak to Sebastian. Luckily, Sebastian was a man of few words. He didn’t find the silence awkward. Instead, the moment Sabrina organized her thoughts, s
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
