Selene’s crying on the other end of the line had grown into a wail. “Young Master Sebastian, I won’t bother you anymore in the future. I beg you, please let me keep my child. I will fly far away with this child in my belly, and never look for you again. I will never let this child know that you are the father, is that okay? I’m begging you…”“Where are you?!” Sebastian asked in a panic.Behind him, the executives that had been waiting for him to start the meeting watched on. Kingston, noticing that the situation was unusual, immediately barked out, “Dismissed!”The executives wisely left.Kingston looked to Sebastian. “Master, what happened?”He did not look back at Kingston. Instead, he continued listening carefully on the phone, his expression cold and solemn. Selene’s voice was filled with horror as she replied, “No, Young Master Sebastian, don’t… don’t come here.”Lincoln quickly snatched the phone away. “Young Master Sebastian, I’m currently at Hillside Hospital. Please send
“You… Do you mean it?” Selene looked tearfully at Sebastian.“I do.”“But you don’t love me, the one you love is Sabrina. I don’t want to force your hand, and I don't want the child in my belly to do that either. I just don't want to abort my child. I won’t follow you back, I will go far away.” Selene shook her head as she cried.“I’ve told you that I would marry you, that you would be my only wife. The child in your belly will be the future successor of Ford Group.” Saying that, Sebastian carried her into the check up room.Selene was speechless, her face still full of tears.However, nestled in Sebastian’s embrace, she knew she had won. She had scored a complete victory.Behind them, Lincoln and Jade exchanged a look of understanding.The results after her check up in the gynecology department were released after a short while. Selene really was pregnant, and had been for over ten months. It had happened right after that night Sebastian had spent with her.The doctor inform
“Understood.” Sebastian hung up after a simple word. As his cold gaze shifted to Selene, it became much warmer, and he took a much gentler tone as well. “You have my child, how could I let you go home?”“No!” Selene rejected decisively, “No, Young Master. We still aren’t formally married, so I’m still not your wife. Now that I know I’m a mother, I will be a good example for my child. I won’t trouble my man, I will learn to be strong and principled. So, before we are married, I won’t stay with you. Don’t worry, however. I will take proper care of our baby, I will definitely do that.”Her words sounded resolute. So much so that Sebastian felt as if she had completely changed, that all of a sudden, she possessed much more integrity.Sebastian paused for a moment before agreeing. “Alright.”He looked at Lincoln and Jade following that. “Please take good care of Selene. I will definitely marry her after a month. In the future, she will be my only mistress. The child in her belly will al
“It’s been a long time since the last banquet, have you already made up your mind? Which family’s girl are you interested in?” Henry asked his grandson.His grandson was already approaching thirty-two. If he were the average man, Sebastian’s child would already be attending school!Sebastian was cold as usual, not saying a word. Henry was starting to grow frustrated, but as he was also somewhat afraid of this grandchild, he did not dare to show his anger. He could only say sincerely, “Currently, there are not many families that can stand up to the Ford family. The princess of Smith Group, the sister of Zayn, who always hangs around Nigel, is twenty two. There’s also the Horst Family from Kidon City, but the one I think would be best is that one from the Shaw family…”Henry had said so much, but Sebastian had not even raised an eyebrow.However, even though he may not be saying anything, he did not object either, so Henry continued. “The niece of Melanie Shaw, the mistress of the Sh
Returning Sebastian’s gaze, Sabrina smiled bashfully.Her smile was a sincere one, radiating a kind of liveliness.Sabrina’s work had gone very smoothly that day. Possibly due to the laptop Sebastian had given her, her efficiency at work had increased. When she submitted her drafts over to the designers in the office, they had all been shocked silent.They had all thought of her as someone who did simple odd jobs, even assuming that she would not know her way around a computer. They had never expected for her drafts to be done so professionally. It was so well done that even the notes by the sides were extremely detailed and useful.The designers had not dared to cause any more trouble for Sabrina that day.Leaving work early, she headed over to Aunt Grace’s ward. As the pair chatted, Sabrina told Grace that Sebastian had been treating her extremely well over the past two days. Not only had he bought her pretty clothes, he had even gifted her an amazing high-spec laptop.Grace pu
That was why Kingston did not wear gloves throughout the year. Even when winter was at its coldest, he would still refuse to. Yet, he had never expected that someone would prepare a small hand warmer for him to warm up his hands. That little lady’s kindness had warmed him up completely.He even started to grow suspicious. How could a lady like this get pregnant in jail?Did she have any hidden traumas?Kingston swore to himself that he would quickly investigate who it was and help her settle that ill-fated relationship!He swiftly opened the car door before saying to Sebastian and Sabrina, “Sir, Madam, please get in.”Sabrina blushed, smiling as she said, “Thank you.”In the car, she watched as Sebastian opened up his computer to work. Sabrina wisely made no sound at all. After they had gotten back, she asked, “Are you hungry?”Sebastian looked at her, hesitant. “You know how to cook?”“Yes, as long as it’s nothing too complicated, I can cook. Mr Ford, if you’re hungry, I can
Sabrina replied in a cold and detached voice. “When, what time?”“Four in the afternoon!”“Fine, I’ll be there on one a condition,” Sabrina said, “Do not bother Aunt Grace, or I won’t play nice with you!”Selene laughed savagely. “Haha! Sabrina, you seem to really think that Grace is your mother now. Don’t forget, you’re the fake, and I’m the real one. Grace is my fiance’s mother after all, how could I hurt her? Aren’t you getting worried over nothing?”“It’s good that you remember she’s your mother-in-law. I’ll be there at four.” Sabrina hung up the phone after saying that.Just as she was about to tidy up her office before looking for a stall to have lunch, Sabrina’s phone rang again. Thinking that it was Selene again, she had started to get irritated. Checking the phone, however, she realized that it was an unknown number. She composed herself before picking up. “Hello, who is this?”“Madam.” Kingston’s voice came from the other end.Sabrina blushed, her tone brightening up a
Five dishes.Sabrina looked at them, smiling as she shook her head.Gosh, such an extravagant meal... How could she finish everything?However, her heart felt ecstatic.Grabbing her delivery, Sabrina was smiling as she headed back to the employee cafeteria to eat. Just before entering, however, she stumbled upon Nigel and his friend Zayn.“Yo! Have you been helping out with carrying any new giants these past two days, Sabrina?” Nigel intercepted her, blocking her way as he asked casually.Sabrina looked up, smiling at Nigel.Her smile was glowing with vibrance.Nigel was once again stunned.It was the second time he had seen that smile on Sabrina. The first time had been three days ago, while she was having that meal at the company’s construction site.“Nigel, I haven't seen you in the past two days, have you been busy?” Sabrina gazed at Nigel, her beaming smile causing her eyebrows to arch upwards.Nigel nodded meekly.“Well, no matter how busy you are, don't forget I’ll g
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
