She had never felt more special or more loved in her entire life, and she felt lightheaded with a lump in her throat. "Sebastian...""Do they fit?" he asked again."Yes! They fit so, so well!" Sabrina was beaming like a little girl.He proceeded to slip the other one on. "Stand up and take a few steps."She did as told, and realized that all it took was a good pair of heels for a woman to fall in love with them. She strolled up and down confidently as though she was a model on a runway, her heart fluttering with excitement and joy. Abruptly, she turned around with her chin up and asked, "Do I look even taller than you in these?""Keep dreaming!" he snorted.Sabrina giggled. It was the most enchanting smile Sebastian had ever seen on her, and at the same time, the most humiliated the Lynn Family and the old Master Shaw had ever felt.Selene nails were digging into her palm as she clenched her fists in frustration. Blood was streaming down her fist without her noticing. Her black e
With black and red smudges all over her face, Selene forced a smile and looked up at Sebastian. "Do...do tell.""When I accompanied my wife Sabrina to pick out her gown, we were unaware that you had made a reservation on this simplistic style dress from Sloane as well. Sloane has a policy against disclosing any personal information of their clients, but my wife had her eyes on this dress, so we told the staff we would like to take the simplistic style dress in exchange with the diamond embroidered one she originally had, as a sort of compensation directly from the Director of Ford group Sebastian Ford."Selene's eyes widened. Sebastian turned around to look at the shop assistant who delivered the heels and asked, "Isn't that exactly what I said four days ago?""Yes, Mr. Ford," the shop assistant replied deferentially, "that was what we told Ms. Selene Lynn here as well, we are not entirely sure how she managed to interpret that the dress was specifically picked out for her by you.
It truly was a wonder to anyone how the eighty years old man could withstand so much. What most people were not aware of was that the old Master Shaw had always been fit as a fiddle since he was young. During his hospitalization in Kidon City, Sebastian had consulted with the doctor regarding his condition and was informed that the old man was healthy. He did it all for his granddaughter. He insisted on taking his granddaughter with him to Kidon City in fear that she might be exposed to Sebastian's cruelty."My grandson is right here in the Ford Residence. Why would you need my permission to release him if you really want to?" the old Master Shaw responded sheepishly to Sebastian's question."That's right," Sebastian chuckled and commanded the butler. "Go! Release the young Master Shaw!"The butler nodded frantically in response. "Ye-yes, Master Sebastian! I'll have it done right away!""Hang on!" Sebastian barked.Frightened , the butler turned back hesitantly. "Master Sebastian?"
Sabrina did not waver at the old Master Shaw's ferocious roar. She simply looked at him calmly with sorrow beyond deion in her voice as she responded, "So I'm guessing that the old Master Shaw has something on me, then? You wouldn't have the nerves to be this forceful otherwise, would you?""And I am guessing you already know what I have on you?" he deadpanned."No, I don't, actually."What could he possibly do to hurt her? What a joke! Even if he claimed to have proof, it could only be fabricated. It wasn't the first thing someone tried to frame her for something she didn't do, it happened so often that Sabrina had gotten used to it. Quoting a famous movie star, 'all pain is tolerable when it becomes a habit'. Indeed, pain had become her constant companion."Sabrina Scott, you vixen! I'll have to admit that you are resourceful! Not only did you enslave the hearts of Nigel Conor and my Marcus, you were the reason why that Smith boy went missing! Apart from that, you managed to craw
In the end, she had fallen in love with him, and he had broken her into pieces. She became a single mother and was constantly running from danger throughout the six years, until he had found her. She had lost the courage to love. She sealed her heart away and thought that she would never love another again. She couldn't bear the possibility of getting hurt again. Still, she fell in love with the same man all over again, to the point that there was no denying."I do!" Sabrina said decisively. Sebastian stared at her."If you love him, why would you sell the extremely valuable bracelet that his mother gave you?" Old Master Henry challenged.The bracelet Grace owned originated from the Ford Family as well. They had felt that they failed her and gave her the emerald bracelet. Grace must have genuinely considered Sabrina as her daughter-in-law to have given her something so precious. And did Sabrina treasure the bracelet as it should have been? If she truly loved Sebastian, why wasn't sh
Tears were streaming down Sabrina's cheeks as her expression slowly became stern. With the sky-blue dress she wore and the crystal shoes on her feet, she looked like a fairy that was out of this world. She swallowed before explaining with a hoarse voice, "Back when Aunt Grace only had a month left to live, there was a family banquet here at the Ford Residence for you to select a woman of high status as your wife from the invited guests. Aunt Grace had wanted desperately to attend the banquet and see the Residence with her own eyes. It had been her biggest dream to move into the Ford Residence, even for just a day. She once said that she could die happy if only the Ford Family acknowledged her as one of them to the public. Aunt Grace knew that she was bound to her sick bed and would not be able to attend the banquet, so she begged me to take a few pictures of the Ford Residence to show her. But I had forgotten to bring the camera with me that day. I never got to fulfill her request, and
Back when they were living in Ciarrai County, she had fought with countless children her age despite being smaller in size than most of them. She had instilled fear in the hearts of many, boys and girls, and had plenty of experience in fighting. Aino raised her arm as she spoke and the beautifully crafted slingshot she was holding came into sight. She lifted the slingshot high in the air and placed a bullet-like item onto it, before gritting her teeth and firing fiercely."Aino!" Sabrina screamed. She couldn't tell who Aino was aiming at. What would happen if she accidentally hurt someone? The next second, she saw a splash of water on Selene's face.The water combined with the mess that was already on Selene's face and made it messier than ever. Unknowingly, she thought that she had been hit by something lethal and wailed, "Don't hit me, don't kill me!""Hmph!" Aino snorted smugly. "What a scaredy-cat!"The slingshot was a gift from her Uncle Kingston. Instead of rocks, which could
Sabrina called out immediately, but Aino had already fired with her slingshot. Although it looked like she was aiming for the old Master Shaw, she changed her target at the very last moment to fire towards her own great-grandfather Henry. The capsule hit its target perfectly, causing a splash on old Master Henry as well. Luckily, Aino had used the capsule filled with sugary water this time. The old Master licked the water dripping from his face and realized that it was sweet. He looked over at Aino to find the little girl glaring back with her hands propped on her hip."You cranky old man, you bullied my mommy! I am never calling you great-grandpa or play with you anymore! I'm going to hit you with this slingshot until you cry every time I see you from now on! Hmph!""Oh my..." Old Master Henry was not at all offended by his great-granddaughter's ruthless prank. Instead, he chuckled and started to slowly walk towards Aino with his hunched back and trembling feet. "Aino, my precious l
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
