The person on the other end of the call had a rather nervous tone. “Miss Scott, it would be better for you to come and see for yourself.”Sabrina immediately replied, “Alright.”She had the premonition that someone was here to pick a fight with her again. After taking a deep breath, she stood up and headed out of the office. Suddenly, a few colleagues called out from behind her. “Sabrina…”“Sabrina, be careful.”“Sabrina, do you want me to accompany you? If someone dares to bully and pick a fight with you, the whole design department will have your back!”After the past week, the people from the design department had started to get along quite well with Sabrina. They had come to the realisation that without the pretentious Linda and those other nosy gossipers, they were able to experience an enjoyable atmosphere in the workplace. In addition, they had found that Sabrina was actually very easy to get along with. Though people who were not close to her might mistake her fo
Sabrina shook her head. “Who is it?”Just when Yvonne was about to speak, the voice of an aged man suddenly sounded from the VIP room. “Is Sabrina here already? Let her in immediately!”When she heard it, Sabrina was taken aback. She recognised the voice. It was from someone who had once humiliated her greatly.“Why is he here?” Sabrina looked at Yvonne and Ruth. She had not actually meant to ask the both of them that question, and was just muttering to herself. Ruth replied with her voice full of concern, “It’s the receptionist who secretly called us both here.“We had initially planned on meeting you first, to think of a solution together. However, when we arrived at the elevator landing, we noticed that the old man was already here, and we even saw people from the Human Resources department greeting him. “You got the phone call at that exact moment, so we could only wait for you here.“Sabrina, don’t go in. Just take the day off and go back home.”Ruth whispered softly t
Sabrina was not at all surprised when she heard Old Master Shaw’s words.“So what?” She looked at the elderly man with disdain. “Are you here to assert your dominance over me today or have you come to seek revenge for your granddaughter? You must have been aware of how she had humiliated herself with her scandalous behaviour here at the company last week. When it comes to being shameless, your granddaughter is much better at it than me, Mr Shaw!”Old Master Shaw, who was in the main seat, was starting to get so furious that Sabrina could clearly hear his breathing getting heavier. However, as to be expected from an older man, who at the same time was also a renowned figure that reigned in both political and military circles, Old Master Shaw was very capable at maintaining his composure. Even though he had been enraged by Sabrina to the point where he could explode, the old master still tried his best to restrain himself on the surface.Ever since their encounter six years ago, O
This was his granddaughter’s nemesis!Meanwhile, looking at the old man sitting in front of her, Sabrina suddenly felt overwhelmed by a sense of compassion. She knew a lot of things, but was not willing to admit it. It was because if everything she knew was really true, there would only be despair left for her in this world. She would rather just deny them. She didn’t need to have any more family in this world anymore, aside from Aino and Zayn.No more!Sabrina sneered. “Old Master Shaw, I congratulate you for finding your true granddaughter after spending so much time and effort.“Since your own daughter is no longer alive, it’s only natural that you feel responsible to keep your granddaughter well-protected. After seeing this, your daughter’s spirit in heaven must be very relieved, right?“Old Master Shaw, I don't mean to intrude, but let me ask, have you ever dreamt of your daughter after so many years? “When you see her in your dreams, do you ever tell her, ‘I’m takin
Thinking that she must have misheard, Selene listened to the phone intently.The salesperson from Sloane repeated her words once again.When she heard it for a second time, Selene started to jump up and down with joy.After putting down the phone, she ran around the house like a madwoman.When she saw Jade, Selene quickly latched on to her and gave her a big kiss. “Mom! Mom! There’s good news! I don’t longer have to wear that simple dress we ordered from “Sloane” anymore. I really didn’t like that dress, but it was Grandpa who had kept insisting that I wear something more low profile. Hahaha, I won’t have to wear it now.”With a concerned look on her face, Jade advised, “Selene, listen to me and your grandpa. It’s best for you to keep a low profile. If you wish to eventually marry Sebastian in the end and win his heart, we have to act more strategically, understand?”Selene shook her head frantically. “Mom, you don’t understand! Just now, the boutique called to say that Sebastian
Meanwhile, Sabrina wasn’t aware of Selene’s ill intentions toward her again. She simply resumed her work with dedication and focus. Seeing her so immersed, none of Sabrina’s colleagues dared to interrupt her to ask about what had happened earlier.It was only after work when her two good friends came to her to ask. “Sabrina, were you not afraid of Old Master Shaw?”Sabrina shook her head casually. “He’s just an old man. What is there to be afraid of? I feel sorry for him instead.”The two good friends didn’t know how to respond to this. “Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you two. Right, have you thought about it? Are you going to attend the Ford family’s banquet or not?” Sabrina asked, changing the subject. Ruth sounded a little hesitant. “Well, I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes…” She didn’t even have a dress to her name.“I’ll buy you a dress!” a voice suddenly said from behind. “Master Ryan?” Ruth turned around and saw Ryan walking towards her.After
For a moment, Ruth didn’t even notice that a woman had walked up to her. Right as her face was about to be slapped, the arm suddenly stopped in midair. It was Sabrina who had intercepted the attack.“Mindy Mann! You have no right to hit your cousin!” Sabrina dropped the woman’s arm and shouted fiercely. Only then did Ruth see that it was her cousin who had cursed at her.In just three short weeks of not seeing Mindy, she had turned extremely thin to the point where it looked like she was all bones.However, Mindy was dressed in the exact same way as before, with her shiny and flamboyant outfit. Though her bank cards were frozen, and she was barred from the Shaw family, the high-end fashion pieces that she had bought over the years could very well still fill up an entire room. For now, Mindy could still look like a dignified lady.Yet, at this moment, even with her luxury fashion pieces, Mindy still looked like a ghost. In addition to being extremely thin, she had two dark
“Seizing by force!“You’re reaping what you didn’t sow“After being so rude, you even had the audacity to blame the victim and try to beat her up! Do you know that you can be imprisoned for assaulting others in public?”“No!” After hearing Sabrina’s words, Mindy, who was shocked, immediately blurted out, “I didn’t reap what I didn’t sow, I was…”Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped talking.After that, Mindy turned around and ran off in a hurry. No one there knew what she was going to say, but chose to ignore her anyway. Sabrina and Yvonne were more concerned about Ruth. Sabrina turned her head and asked, “You’re not harmed, right?”Ruth shook her head slightly, “No. Thank you, Sabrina.”Sabrina punched Ruth playfully while saying, “I really don’t know where your confidence went. Back then, when you tried to pick a fight with me, you weren’t this cowardly at all. She’s still your cousin, right? Yet, you didn’t get mad at all. I, on the other hand, blocked the atta
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
