“Thank you.” Sabrina and Sebastian both turned and left. On the other side, Kingston and Aino were both back from their trip to buy sweets.The family of three and Kingston walked to the elevators when they heard a ruckus coming out of the room.“You evil family, I want to skin all of you alive!”“Hit her!”“Hit her until she can’t walk!”“Miss Homme, come here. We’ll hold her down. You could hit her on the face! This shameless piece of sh*t! How could she force you to become a prostitute? Take off all of her clothes and throw her into the streets naked!”“Ouch…”“Oww…”The door to the room was closed.Both Sabrina and Sebastian did not want to know what happened in the hotel or how serious things became. The three of them and Kingston ate a simple but happy dinner in their hotel room, then slept fitfully all through the night and woke around 7 am for breakfast. They then packed their luggage, and Sabrina carried the urn that had her father’s ashes.When they left the elevator and wal
Sebastian instantly turned to look out of the window too.Kingston applied the emergency brake. “Where?” Sebastian asked her gently.Sabrina rubbed her eyes, “I…”Where was the figure?Why was it gone?She did not even blink. Why was it gone?Sebastian did not say anything.He raised his arm and pulled her into him, planting a kiss on the top of her head, “Sometimes, no news is good news. Your mother is a strong woman. Last time, when your father was ill, your mother could even withstand all the pressure and survive. When Lincoln Lynn locked her up, she knew how to touch people’s hearts and made the Lynn family servant release her.”“That showed your mother wouldn’t buckle under life’s harsh realities so easily.”“Weren’t you the same? Never willing to bow to destiny?”Sabrina nodded, “Alright, I know.”Sabrina felt her mood lighten because of her husband’s comforting words.That’s right. No news was the best news.After they returned home, it was not time for dinner yet. Sabrina and
“In this case, find a good burial spot for Sabrina’s father as soon as possible.”“Yes, Master Sebastian.”After ending the call, Sebastian sat on the rocking chair alone on the topmost floor and closed his eyes for some rest.The issues with Sabrina’s hometown were now settled. Only the island was left.His mother, Grace, came from a wealthy family on the island. However, the change in power structure on the island sacrificed his mother’s family. Although his mother’s entire family lost all their family and escaped to the mainland, the leader of the island chased his mother’s family to the mainland. Fortunately, Old Master Shaw saved his mother back then, and she survived.However, his mother’s family, her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and their children were killed. His mother was left all alone in this world. When she was sad and grieving, his stepmother used her, and she became his father’s mistress and gave birth to him.If their families’ wealth were taken into account, his
Although his willpower was immensely strong, at the sight of the woman’s clear, bright eyes and her beautiful body, he could not help swallowing.“Come on,” she called out to him shyly.She hardly took the initiative with him. She was still considered a novice in the matters of seduction. She was so used to acting cold and distant that she did not know much about seduction techniques.However, she was willing to reward him for once, to thank him for everything he did for her in her hometown.When he was in the shower, she had been preparing for a long while. Her mind flipped through the various scenes in the numerous movies and dramas she watched. Finally, after much contemplation, she remembered a certain scene.She found this piece from the mountain of lingerie that he gifted her.To be honest, she had blushed when she put it on.She had never worn such a sexy piece of clothing.Everything that he gave her, whether it was jewelry or clothes or bags, were extremely luxurious items.I
Sebastian, “…”“Did I say you were a pig?”“When did I say you were a pig?”“If you were a pig, that would make me a pig too!”She laughed for a while, then opened her mouth again, “I think it would be better if we have another three children. Another girl to give Aino a little sister and another two boys, this way, they would each have a company with two boys and two girls. What do you think, dear?”A hint of longing entered Sebastian’s tone, “It would be good no matter whether we have boys or girls. If we had three more boys, Aino would have many brothers to protect her. She would be so happy when she grows up. If they were all girls, we would have four little princesses in our family, I’m sure they would all be beautiful when they grow up.”“Yeah!” Sabrina nodded happily, “I don’t mind having boys or girls, as long as they’re our children, we could always have more anyway.”Sebastian, “…”He realized; motherhood was an addictive drug.She was saying she did not want to become a pig
“Sabrina!” Selene’s proud and elegant voice sounded on the other end of the phone.Sabrina was silent.She did not take a close look at the incoming number, but she was certain it was not Selene’s phone number. Hearing her voice, Sabrina placed the phone closer to her eyes and took a look. She then realized the number looked very odd. It was two to three digits shorter than domestic numbers.What was happening?“Where are you now?” Sabrina was a smart woman, and she seemed to know what was going on.“You must have guessed. I’m overseas now!” Selene said proudly.Sabrina was speechless.She did not expect that.Her mind was lost for a long moment. Finally, she stuttered and was unable to produce a coherent sentence, “…”On the other end, Selene could guess Sabrina must be shocked. Her tone turned even more boastful, “Sabrina, yesterday you said your cousin Coral is dead. I knew that’s true. I know, you said you hated my father and me. I knew you must have hated me so much, haha!
“I’ve survived yet again.”“So, say, do you think lady luck has returned to me once again?”Sabrina sneered, “What are you trying to say?”“What I’m trying to say is, maybe your husband might become my husband in the future.”“Alright, I think I know where you are,” Sabrina replied.“Yeah? Did your husband tell you where I am?” Selene asked.“No,” Sabrina’s voice became calmer, “My husband was so busy for the past two days, he hasn’t had the chance to tell me yet, but I already know where you are. You are on star island, right? You and your parents escaped to Star Island.”Selene, “You b*tch! You’re as smart as always! You guessed it!”“Thank you for the compliment!”Selene was silent.“Revenge is a dish best served cold! It’s easy for you to escape to Star Island, but not so easy to leave, am I right? Easy peasy. One day, I’ll go straight to Star Island. You’re practically served on a platter.” Sabrina said, her tone light and carefree.“Ha! You don’t have the power to do so!”“I don’
Sabrina smiled slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Sebastian, “There’s a reason behind this, right?”Sebastian paused.He knew she was smart. She could almost read and understand everything with a mere glance.“Huh?” He looked at her, confused.“Selene and her family…they escaped, and they even ran away to Star Island?” Sabrina asked.Sebastian nodded, “Yes.”Sabrina said, “Two days ago, you were supposed to board the plane with me back to my hometown, but you changed your mind at the airport. Was that because you had to attend to this urgent matter of the Lynn's escaping?”“Yes.”“Was Old Master Shaw the one who helped them escape?” Without the old man’s help, Sabrina knew the Lynn’s could never escape to the island.Sebastian was glad his wife was so smart, “You guessed everything…”Sabrina’s tears gushed out of her eyes, and she buried her head into his chest.The stab of pain caused by the family betrayal was agonizing.Sebastian held her face and asked, “Have you wondered abou
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
