Linda's eyes widened in shock and shrieked after finally coming to register what had just happened. "Dear...dear policeman, wh-why are you here? Please don't arrest me, you should be arresting this woman instead! She's a home-wrecker, a prisoner that escaped from prison before! She is a scammer who forged a fake resume, she- Ouch!""No matter what this lady has done wrong, you do not have the right to attack her!" the police said. "Assaulting someone in public like this is a complete violation of state law! Please come with us!"With that, the police began to drag Linda out. Bruises were starting to form around Linda's wrist as she resisted. She tried her best to ignore the pain and screamed frantically, "Ms. Poole, Ms. Poole, please help me! You were the one who asked me to beat Sabrina!""Scum!" Emma scoffed. She stood by as Linda was taken away by the police and refused to say a word to help.Once Linda was taken out of the office, she turned to the crowd and asked sharply, "Who was

Emma's voice came through the line as she anticipated and said, "Sabrina, I won't have to teach you what to say now, will I?""How did you get my number?" Sabrina asked calmly."How do you think?" Emma chuckled casually. "Your contact is in the Human Resources' database, why wouldn't I know? I know you are currently being questioned at the police station. Whether Linda can get out depends on whether you are willing to be a good girl.""So are you choosing to protect Linda, or yourself?" Sabrina's tone remained composed."What are you trying to say??" Emma barked."I mean, if I burn, I'll make sure we burn together.""You wouldn't dare!""Sure, I wouldn't." Sabrina smiled bitterly. "My daughter's fate is in your hands after all, of course I wouldn't dare! But what matters here is for you to make sure I tell ONLY the truth of what people saw here. Linda was indeed the one who hit me, and the police saw her with their own eyes!"Emma paused for a moment, before caving in. "Fine! Linda onl

Tears flowed down her face at the memory she had for the past two months, but very soon, she was able to anchor herself and regained her composure. She hurried to the bathroom and stared at her reflection on the mirror. It took four hours with an ice pack on her cheek to finally reduce the swelling, but her face was still marked by the bruise that had ruined her beauty. Sabrina forced a bitter smile before putting the facemask back on. She wandered off to her bedroom to retrieve the box filled with jewels that Sebastian had bought for her as a gift. Within it, was a pair of bracelets she received from old Mrs. Ford.The bracelets reminded Sabrina of the day she visited the Ford Residence. When the old Mrs. Ford told her, "I was going to give this pair of bracelets to your mother-in-law. It's a pity she died at such an early age without getting a chance to wear them."Sabrina thought back to how desperately Aunt Grace had wanted to be a part of the Ford Family and immediately packed t

Sabrina turned around to find a vaguely familiar face. The woman was dressed exquisitely and oozed arrogance with every single move she made."I'm sorry, but you are...? Sabrina asked, as she tried to search through her memory for the face in front of her, but she couldn't seem to figure out whose mother was her."Ha! Stop playing games! You have spoken to me a couple of times by now! Your daughter keeps taking toys from my daughter and you came returning it every single time, and now you want to try and pretend like you don't recognize me?"Sabrina finally remembered that the woman before her was the mother of Carol, Aino's classmate. Carol enjoyed giving her toys to Aino as gifts, even when Aino rejected them. The gesture of sharing toys meant nothing more than the fact that the children were learning to share, but Carol's mother insisted that it was Aino who took the toys from other children and claimed it as her own. Carol's mother had reached out to Sabrina twice because of that a

Aino seemed even more confused. "Today's Saturday, daddy isn’t going to work. Even if he does, mommy can play with me. Why are you here?""Your daddy used to be a workaholic, but he changed ever since your mommy came back.""Did he become better?" Aino asked, her head cocked to the side.Kingston shook his head. "No no no, he became one of those handsome wealthy male protagonists in soap operas."Aino's interest was piqued instantly at the mention of "soap opera" and immediately begged Kingston to explain what the term meant."Well, soap opera is kind of like when your daddy and mommy are the only good people in the TV show, especially your daddy, he is very handsome and spoils your mommy rotten. But there are a lot of bad women too, and what they do all day is try to stop your mommy from marrying your daddy. That's soap opera for you," Kingston explained, trying to simplify it as much as possible."I get it now." Aino nodded. She knew that the bad women Kingston spoke of were ones lik

This hotel was particularly extravagant.As soon as Sabrina arrived at the door, she could see that this hotel is definitely not somewhere that ordinary wage earners could frequent, and today's small party was not just as simple as paying fifty thousand dollars. There might be other costs of expenditure.Fortunately, she had the five million dollar compensation fund that Sebastian gave her. In case she needed to fork out extra money, she could still afford to.Sabrina was emboldened and led Aino to the large private room that had been arranged in advance.It was noisy in the large private room."Susan’s mom, your bag is a limited edition, right? It looks so expensive," Carol’s mom complimented Susan's mom loudly."No, my husband bought me this bag from Hong Kong. It's very cheap, it's only slightly more than nine thousand dollars. By the way, your bag is nice too, what brand is it? It looks good. It must be quite expensive, right." Susan's mom was enjoying the superiority of bein

"Hi, Aino's mom, you are finally here. I thought you would be afraid to come." Carol’s mom rubbed the rock on her finger while looking at Sabrina with a mocking expression.Sabrina didn't realize Carol’s mom and the rest of the rich ladies’ imminent jealousy toward her.She didn't answer the question, but only asked Aino in a gentle voice, "Aino, would you like to play with these children?"Aino nodded happily. "Of course, Mommy. Susan, Carol, all of the children are so kind to me."Sabrina smiled gently and said, "You like this kindergarten, don't you?"Aino nodded again. "Of course mom, they are all my friends. I like this kindergarten the most. But mom, if you don't like me here, I don’t mind transferring to another school."When she said the last sentence, Aino's tone sounded obviously lonely.Sabrina put his head against her daughter's head, and said firmly, “My baby's environment growing up, my baby's friends, are the most important. Nothing else matters. As long as you li

Sabrina widened her eyes and looked at the soft, greenish thing with black prints in Carol's mom's hand. That was clearly a snake.Carol's mother screamed, shaking her hand and throwing the snake onto the ground, the little snake curled up and fell right on top of her feet.Carol's mother cried out loud, her legs trembled, and she almost peed her pants."Hee hee hee, ha ha ha. Auntie, you are such a scaredy cat, look at me, look at me." Aino squatted down with a smile, picked up the snake and played with it in her hands.Behind her, the group of children were also laughing.Even Carol laughed at her mother: "Mom, Mom, why are you so scared, we are not afraid at all! That’s not a real snake, that’s just a toy! Haha, mom, look at you, how funny you look."Carol’s mother and all the ladies present were dumbfounded.All of them were so afraid their lips turned blue and purple. Watching the group of innocent, naughty children laughing in such a carefree manner, they were furious. Th

“Susan, you come here too!”“Sydney, come here!”“Ken…”The rich ladies all followed suit, warning their children not to play with Aino anymore. But the children thought otherwise.“Mommy, Aino didn’t bring the snake here. The snake belonged to Carol.” Mia said softly.Carol nodded too. “Mom, the snake is mine. I love this toy snake! I had a deal with the kid downstairs and exchanged many of my toys for it. All the children in my class love it too, it’s so fun!”“Carol Long!” her mother shouted, wanting to give her a slap so badly. “You weren’t like this before! You’ve become like a little barbarian after you started playing with Aino! Throw the snake away!”Carol started crying. Aino stood beside her mother, raised her head and looked at Sabrina. “Mommy, I want to go home.”Aino was an observant child, she could tell everyone was unhappy with her.“Since you’re here, you can’t leave without giving us something! Aino’s mom, since you belong to this group and you attended this

The man that they knocked into seemed to have been waiting for them. He was very strong; Sabrina was knocked backward a few steps. Luckily, Aino was small and agile, avoiding him in time.Whilst Sabrina who stood taller than 170 centimeters fell backward at the impact.“Madam, are you okay!” The man immediately reached out a hand and caught Sabrina’s waist before she could fall, then with an elegant sweep, swept her into his arms.In the near distance, the rapid-fire clicks of a camera sounded. The cameraman was muttering non-stop, “This angle, it’s perfect!”At that moment, Sabrina finally saw the face of the stranger that held her in his arms. He looked fake and made up, a thick layer of makeup on his face. Sabrina felt disgusted the minute she set eyes on him, standing up and pushing him away immediately. “I’m sorry, I knocked into you first. So sorry!”The man lifted his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s an honor to be knocked into by a pretty lady like you.”Sabrina smiled. “I’m gl
