“Nigel, save us!”“Only you can talk to your cousin now.”“I beg you Nigel, if you’re willing to help me, I’ll give you my newest, favorite sports car... Unconditionally!”Nigel was still smiling as he responded, “You’re the one who said that!”“I did!”“Alright, I’ll give you all a guarantee, it will be okay! You will all definitely be okay, my cousin would absolutely not oppose so many of you from such influential families over a woman who looks like a beggar. He’s been so busy simply dealing with his own matters, how would he have the time to bother about all of you?”“Just continue playing... All of you, keep having fun.”“That’s good, I’m much more at ease if Nigel says so.”“Let’s get Nigel to be the main organiser of our next activity. That way we can play to our hearts content.”“Thank you, Nigel!”“It’s no big deal!” Nigel smiled generously. Even as the cruise was luxurious and grand, they were now lacking someone like Sabrina that they could toy around with for en
Sabrina raised her head as she gazed at Sebastian, not understanding what he had meant.Yet she spoke, her tone so distant that it seemed to be numb. “Mr. Ford, what are you trying to say? My schemes, my plans against you, don’t you already know of them? Since you’ve already exposed me, what are you still asking me about?”“You seem to have forgotten what I’ve warned you about.” The man’s voice seemed less cruel than before.“I did not forget.” Sabrina lowered her head, showing a self-deprecating smile.Sebastian had warned her not to hook up with other men while she remained in a marital relationship with him. Yet even without his warning, who would she have hooked up with?Among all the men and women on the cruise, not one of them had looked at her as a human. Even Nigel, who treated her decently, had eyes that looked like he was toying with her.In their eyes, she was nothing but a pitiful joke.“I just wanted to make some money, that’s all. Unfortunately, as I was making tha
Sebastian was went blank behind her.The next day.Sabrina had gotten up early as usual, and was preparing to leave after washing her face. Before she could, however, she heard a deep voice coming from behind her. “Hold on.”Sabrina turned around to see Sebastian, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, holding onto his briefcase. Sabrina shot him a look of confusion.“I am going to see my mother at the hospital this morning,” Sebastian said in a soft voice.Sabrina was speechless. Following awkwardly behind Sebastian, she got off the elevator and saw Kingston’s car parked by the entrance.Sabrina walked past the front of the car with no intention of slowing down. As she had almost passed the doors, Sebastian suddenly grabbed ahold of her arm. Sabrina trembled in surprise.“Get in,” he said calmly as he opened the car door, gesturing for her to get in before he did himself. He proceeded to take a seat on the same row as her.The sudden gesture had felt unnatural to Sabrina.
Sabrina raised her head to look at Sebastian, her face reddening.Finishing his toast, the man got up to leave, ignoring Sabrina.She was left speechless.It was Kingston, who had been standing by the side, who suddenly approached her and said in a low voice, “Miss Scott, you look much better when you’re embarrassed and confused.”With that, he followed his master, heading out of the diner.Sabrina gulped down her food before leaving as well. As she did not see Sebastian’s car outside the diner, she thought that Sebastian had left. She stood alone at the entrance of the diner, thinking quietly to herself.Not far away, Sebastian observed Sabrina from within the car.Standing alone like that, she looked like a leaf in the wind. Her expression seemed a little willful, but was more so unfamiliar.He also saw a loneliness and helplessness in the pitiful girl.“Go investigate whose child it is she has inside her,” he suddenly told Kingston.Kingston started, “Where… Where should I
She herself would live through anything. Allowing her baby to be born was her highest priority.The director actually did leave immediately after she had finished speaking.Sabrina sat quietly at her seat.“Sabrina!” A veteran of the design department, Amanda Cloud, yelled out fiercely.“Miss Cloud, if you have any tasks for me, please let me know and I’ll get it done.” Sabrina spoke matter-of-factly, giving Amanda a blank look.This shocked Amanda. “You…”Sabrina awaited Amanda's orders without saying anything else.A cold and cruel smile grew across Amanda’s face. “Go! Get the information we’ve compiled from the supplier. Bring every sample to the work site and let the engineers have a look at them. Since the director is out, we won’t be able to use the company cars. Carry them yourself, and take public transportation over!”Sabrina was speechless.Construction samples, bricks, buckets of silicon clay, and even diagrams. They were all bundled in a mess. Sabrina stared at t
Nigel’s strong arms supported her as he put her back on the ground. His sly smile remained on his face as he said, “Just because I had said that you wanted to seduce Shaw on the cruise and didn’t come to your rescue, you’ve started to hate me?”“I did not,” Sabrina said bluntly.She really didn’t.What relationship did she even have with Nigel?Why would she hate him? Sabrina was someone who analysed everything.“Country girl! Let me just say, you had money in your eyes that day. You were the one who allowed yourself to be toyed with by everyone. No one could’ve saved you. If I had, I’d have made myself the enemy of every rich kid in South City.”Nigel spoke directly in Sabrina’s face without a shred of compassion.“Other than my cousin Sebastian, no one could have saved you. Furthermore, it was only a game. As per your own agreement with Mindy, she would have given you that money in the end. You have no right to feel as if you’ve been wronged.”Sabrina maintained her composure
Sabrina did not answer, lowering her head as she continued to eat. The fiber strips in the sweet potatoes were not completely removed, so she removed them as she ate.“Do you like sweet potatoes that much?” Nigel asked.“Yeah, they’re sweet,” Sabrina replied.“It can’t really be that sweet, it’s not chocolate! Hand it over and let me try, if I find out that you’ve tricked me, I’ll deal with you right here!” Nigel snatched Sabrina’s plate away, taking it forcefully from her hands. He did not seem to care that they were out in the open, nor did he bother about the dust everywhere. Using the fork, he placed a piece of sweet potato into his mouth.Sabrina was stunned.She stared blankly at Nigel.Nigel gulped down one after another. After finishing, he paused before saying, “D*mn, I did not expect the food at this construction site to be so good. That sweet potato was so good... It’s sweet yet fragrant, soft and waxy.”His expression was clearly exaggerated and uncouth.Yet, Sa
The man did not reply before getting up and leaving.Grace smiled. “That brat has always been a man of few words, Sabbie. Since the two of you are in a flash marriage, your feelings for each other may not have a firm foundation yet, but I think you’ll slowly come to realize his good points.”“I know, mother. I’ll go with Sebastian to buy some clothes now,” Sabrina said, returning a sweet smile.“Go ahead.”Sabrina trailed outside. The moment she had walked out the door, she heard Grace shouting from behind, “Sebastian, I know you’re standing outside. Come in, I have something to say to you.”Sebastian had indeed been standing outside. Hearing his mother call for him, he ordered Kingston, “Bring her over to the car first. I’ll head on over after this.”“Yes, Young Master Sebastian.”Sebastian turned around, entering the ward.“Mother…”“Stupid child!” Grace reached over to hit her son as she rebuked him. “You’ve been married to Sabbie for over a month. I can tell that you’ve be
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
