The only skill she had was playing the piano, but she could only play and was not yet good enough to teach. She could not even support herself, but still had to keep an eye out for the Shaw family and avoid them as they continued their search for her.At that moment, Gloria did not think that the Shaw family was looking for her. Instead, she thought, even if they found her, they were also going to put her to death.Gloria was at her wits’ end and she was very desperate. If she had another way, she would not send her daughter to Lincoln. She thought that, as Sabrina’s biological father, no matter what, he would not be too cruel with her, would he?As long as the child could receive an education, could attend university and, in the future, could establish herself in this city, then she could escape a similar fate as her mother and her grandmother before her. Gloria knelt down and said to Sabrina gently, “Sabbie, Uncle Lincoln is Mommy’s friend. From now on, you’ll stay at Uncle Li
At this point in her story, the tears rolled down her cheeks in big, fat droplets. Her voice was hoarse, like an old clock that had been working for a long time.She looked at Lincoln, who lay defeated in a pile like a soft, weak mess at the side. She remained calm and asked Lincoln coldly, "Lincoln Lynn, after so many years, my daughter is now almost thirty years old. I want to know, why do you hate her so much?"Lincoln was speechless. "..."At this moment, could he say he regretted his actions?When he met Amelia back then, it was purely because she looked beautiful. She was practical and capable too, and the most important thing was that she was quiet, honest, and kept to her duties well. She knew what she could do and consequently what she could not do.On top of that, Lincoln was also a foreigner. He had a painful childhood, so at that time,he and Amelia were still very affectionate and loved each other deeply.When did they stop loving each other? It was because not long a
Gloria laughed suddenly and said, “Ha…haha, really? Then why did you hide the truth from everyone and say that Selene is your and Jade’s adopted daughter?”Lincoln said, “Jade gave birth to a pair of twins; one of them passed away a few days after birth, but Selene survived. Initially, we wanted to host a big banquet, but later discovered that you and I share some common property. You left our marriage with empty hands, but the common property was still under my name…”Gloria’s smile looked bleak as she said, “You were worried I would ask you for the property; you were worried I would sue you in court, and you and Jade got together when I was pregnant; you two even have children together, so you were worried I would use the children as evidence? That’s why you lied to everyone and said Selene is not your biological daughter!”Lincoln nodded. He looked at Gloria and he whined as he begged, “Gloria, if Selene was not my own daughter, I would never make Sabbie pay for her crimes. Sabbi
Seeing that Jade was so nervous, Sabrina laughed out loud. “Haha!”She hated Lincoln to the core, which was why she was determined to expose the whole truth. “Lincoln, because you want to protect your family of three, because of your loving relationship with Jade, because you both love and treasure your daughter… So, for your family of three, you sacrificed me.”Lincoln did not say anything. “…”“Would you like to know something?” Sabrina looked at Lincoln, who lay in a heap on the floor. Her eyes were bright with mirth.He raised his head and looked at Sabrina.She said slowly, “One day, I was on the way to your home. At the intersection before I took a turn, I saw Jade together with a man, in the small patch of trees behind the car. They were there for more than an hour.”Lincoln’s eyes widened in anger and he looked at Jade. “Jade…”She immediately screamed, “I wasn’t… Lincoln, this is not the time to be discussing this. Our daughter’s sickness….”“Your daughter’s sickness?”
“You tried your best to release her from prison on parole for one day and used her. Then, when you found out that the man who was rescued by your daughter was one of the most powerful men in South City, again you tried your best to get rid of your daughter. “Until now, you employed all your tricks, time and time again, and even raised the old incident that happened in the prison all those years ago to force your daughter to her death, and then dig out her kidneys.“You did all these things for the fake daughter your wife gave birth to while she was cheating on you. When you did all these things, did you feel good?” Sabrina remained calm, a smile hanging on her lips.A vein throbbed on Lincoln’s forehead at her words. Every single incident, every single action he took, he was just harming his own daughter to benefit the woman who cheated on him!Lincoln went crazy. “Ah! Ah…ah!” His eyes were red with fury, stalking toward Jade step by step. Jade said, “Don’t, Lincoln, no… That’s
Lincoln’s heart was dripping with blood.“Dad…” Selene ran to him and hugged his leg. He kicked her away ruthlessly with one swift kick. He had always claimed in public that Selene was his adopted daughter, and he always believed so too. Jade only told him the truth the next day after Selene’s symptoms were discovered. “Lincoln, I have to tell you something. Actually… Selene is not our adopted daughter. She’s your own flesh and blood. If you don’t believe me, you can take her for a DNA test.” The first time Jade told Lincoln this piece of news, he was astounded. Selene only came to the Lynn family when she was two years old. Back then, because of labor complications, her first baby was stillborn. Since then, she had become barren and spent her days crying and depressed.Lincoln initially wanted to fight for his daughter’s custodial rights so he and Jade could raise her together. But, Jade told him she was furious every time she saw him and his ex-wife’s daughter. Besides, wha
He thought that kick was considered a punishment for Sabrina, to make her stay in her shack today and reflect on her actions and realize what she did wrong. If she still stared intensely at someone like that, then he would have to teach her a lesson. Early the next morning, Lincoln went to the shack where Sabrina stayed, took ten dollars out of his pocket, and handed it to her. “This is for you. Take it.”Sabrina looked at him but did not take the money. He threw the money on the ground in front of her, and asked, “Do you know what you did wrong?” Sabrina lowered her head but did not speak. “Take this ten dollars and buy yourself a good breakfast,” Lincoln said in a tone that sounded as if he both detested her and treated her like a charity case. Sabrina did not take the money. She took up wordlessly and walked past him, heading to school, not even bothering to take a single glance at him.She starved that morning and the night before. Not only was she starving, but she a
Hearing Jade say this, Lincoln felt as if he had won the lottery. He grabbed his wife’s hand and said, “That’s perfect! As long as Sabrina’s kidneys can save Selene’s life then we’ll cut out both of her kidneys.”This was what Lincoln said to Jade not too long ago. Then he even rubbed his hands together, muttering happily to himself, “Oh yes, oh yes, my daughter can be saved now! Our Lynn family bloodline can be extended again. Huh, I never expected Selene would be my biological daughter…”At this thought, Lincoln suddenly asked Jade, “How can Selene be our daughter? Didn’t our daughter pass away not long after she was born all those years ago?”Jade cried as she answered him, “Lincoln, back then I gave birth to a pair of twins; one of them passed away, but the other one survived. I sent her to my distant cousin.”Lincoln asked in confusion, “Why… Why would you do something like that? Do you know how much pain I was in when I lost our daughter?”Tears flowed down Jade’s cheeks a
