She only had herself to rely on.Sabrina had already thought it through last night. To protect herself and the child in her belly, anyone who would approach her, intent on harming her, would be met with death by that brick.It had definitely been useful, seeing as she had successfully scared Selene away.Sabrina threw the brick aside.It would no longer be effective now that she had revealed it. Anyway, she still had other things in her bag to protect herself with. Watching as Selene ran off in the distance, Sabrina headed in to work at the site.Following an entire day of laboring, Sabrina found that she was not that tired. Instead, she found working here much more relaxing than the office, where she always had to be on edge, worrying about being discharged.Working at the construction site was dirtier and more labor intensive, but at least it didn’t exhaust her heart.Furthermore, there was a wide variety of food in the canteen, so she could stuff herself with good food.Af
“How?”There was a spark of amusement in Jade’s eyes. “I think we’ve scored a major victory this time. The child in Selene’s belly has allowed us to turn the tables, even getting Sabrina to suffer a huge fallout with Sebastian.”“However, if we want to use Sebastian to get rid of her, we still need to add oil to the flames.”“Is… there really a need to get rid of her?” Lincoln felt a chill in his heart, and could not help but ask.Jade glared at Lincoln in anger. “You still have a soft spot for Sabrina, and don’t want to get rid of her? How has she treated you? She wants to kill you, she wants to kill our entire family. She’s just as evil as her mother! They are just as despicable and shameless! Have you forgotten how her mother trapped and tricked you?“How could you be so forgetful?!“That fox, she is just as despicable and evil as her mother!“If not for our scheme yesterday, making it so that Sebastian witnessed her evil side, Sabrina would’ve really stolen him away from Sel
He would love her more.Selene obeyed her mother, and had shut off her phone for the whole afternoon.“Selene, wait for Sebastian’s call later, he will call soon.” Jade looked at her girl, smiling.“Mom, your methods are really useful.” Selene looked back at her mother as she smiled delicately.The two of them were about to leave together, but Lincoln remained still, his face frozen.“Dad, what’s wrong?” Selene pouted at her father.“What’s wrong? You’re still able to be so merry? Sebastian has been so concerned for you lately, while his mother’s condition has been deteriorating. Your marriage is right around the corner, but what do we do about the child in your belly?!”Selene was speechless. “Who’s child is it?! You’ve been pregnant for over two months, but neither me nor your mother knows. Who’s child is it?!” Lincoln roared.Selene was trembling as she shrunk into Jade’s arms. Tears had even started to fall.Her father had never yelled at her like that.Jade followed, p
Grace held on to Sabrina’s hand, tears suddenly flowing as she said weakly, “Sabbie, you’re finally here?”“Mother…” Sabrina sobbed quietly, “I’m sorry mother, I had some things to deal with today, that’s why I’m late.”She had rushed over from the construction site, only to be confronted by Lincoln at the bus stop. She had walked a distance after that in a daze, before only getting onto the bus at the next stop.That was why she was late to her visit.Knowing that Grace’s illness was worsening, Sabrina wanted nothing more than to stay by Grace’s side, but she could not lose her job either. No matter how exhausting and tedious that job was, it was still work.As a woman who had only recently gotten out of jail, it was very difficult to find a job, so she could not give this up. She crawled over to Grace’s side as she repeated over and over, “I’m sorry mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”“I’m fine, Sabbie. I know that you’re a hardworking child. You can’t lose your job. A woman should
As they headed out of the hospital, Sebastian went toward his own car. His steps were large, catching up to Sabrina in just a few paces. Yet he did not even look at her as he maintained his pace to the car.Sebastian was an extremely logical man.He believed only in what he saw himself, and what he heard.Sabrina had definitely pushed Selene after unleashing a malicious rant at her. He had heard her say from her own mouth that she wanted to kill the Lynn family.Sabrina did not spare Sebastian a glance either. As she passed Sebastian’s car, she did not even turn to look.Kingston, who had been by the car, was uncertain when he saw Sabrina.His lips had twitched, almost asking Sabrina to get into the car by habit.He had even almost called out ‘Madam Ford’, but as he watched Sebastian enter the car, wearing a solemn expression, Kingston stopped himself from saying anything.Kingston was similar to Grace in the fact that he too really wanted Sabrina to be Sebastian’s wife. Howeve
The postcard read, “Mr Ford, you have given me so many beautiful clothes. I’ve never put on such nice clothes my entire life. You have also given me such an expensive laptop, I really don’t know how to thank you.I want to give you something, but I’m a poor person.Even if I had money, I wouldn’t really know what you like. Your suits alone may be worth hundreds of thousands, more than a year of my salary. So, allow me to just give you something inexpensive and interesting.Looking at the color and style of these filters, I felt that they were quite suited to a man like you, mature and powerful. I don’t know if you will like it.If you don’t, remember to tell me. I will get you a new one.Cigarette filters aren’t worth a lot. However, you like smoking, and when you do, you tend to hold the smoke in your mouth before slowly blowing it out of your nose. If you smoke like that, the tar will easily get into your lungs.So, this filter is to protect your body.Even though you are
Sabrina had already fled far away at that point.She was drowning in self-mockery.Had she known, she would not have ordered the filters. She had asked someone to help buy them on her behalf. She was poor, but she had still spent over three hundred bucks on them. Yet, before they could even arrive, she had been chased out. Thinking about it, she thought that she was such a joke. Right now, the filters were probably in Sebastian’s hands. He was probably looking down on them, smiling coldly as he threw them off the balcony.Sabrina’s face turned bright red at the thought.She had just wanted to thank him for the beautiful clothes and the laptop.Now, she felt like she had been overthinking things, trying to show feelings toward someone that had never been interested.She returned to her motel with a head full of thoughts. Lying down with her clothes on, she was unable to sleep.Part of the reason was the filters, and the other half was because of Aunt Grace's illness.Her thoug
Sabrina immediately stood upright, when she saw who she had collided with. Her expression immediately turned cold. “I’m sorry!”Old Master Shaw scrutinised Sabrina with a disgusted look before he smiled coldly. “The last time I saw you, your face was thick with cheap makeup. This time, your entire body is filthy, your face is black and ugly. Who are you?”Sabrina could not be bothered to entertain him. He seemed to be a strict but kind person on the surface, but he had never been friendly to her at all. Instead, he was an extremely rude old man.She ignored Old Master Shaw, and tried to continue walking forwards. However, Old Master Shaw raised his walking stick to block her way.Sabrina asked coldly, “What are you doing?”“Answer my question!” The old master barked at Sabrina with an extremely oppressive tone.Suppressing her anger, Sabrina asked, “Mister, do I know you?”“Are you not Sebastian’s constant wife? The one that he bought for two months to fulfil his mother’s dying
