To tell the truth, the eighteen-year-old Sean was very unhappy that his family hosted such a banquet for him. He did not want to choose any woman, nor did he want to be chosen.Because he was too young. Because he did not want a political marriage. At eighteen, he wanted to enjoy his young life for a few more years. That was why he was very unhappy. Even though there were many beautiful and graceful girls present, he did not like any of them. Instead, this little girl that answered her uncle’s every sentence with a question intrigued him. She was cute and sweet, almost perfect. He had a younger sister too, a few years older than this girl, but she was living abroad. “Uncle, I want to see what Seany looks like. Where is he?” The little girl insisted on meeting the handsome boy.“Right here.” Sean’s gentle voice drifted from behind them. Both Jennie and Old Master Shaw turned and saw Sean, tall and lean, young and handsome, dressed smartly in a fitted suit. “Wow… His legs are
Jennie was an expert at reading facial expressions and detecting the changes in one’s tone. From Sean’s tone, she could tell he disliked Sabrina very much.“Seany, let’s not talk about her…” Jennie buried her face in her hands and wiped at her tears. The tears of a beautiful woman could easily shake a once all-powerful man’s heart.“Jen, tell me if Sabrina Scott bullied you. I will avenge you. To be frank, she’s my daughter-in-law!” Sean told Jennie honestly. “I know, Seany.” Jennie sniffed. “Before I returned, I knew Sabrina was your daughter-in-law. My daughter’s daughter is even attending the same kindergarten as your granddaughter. My daughter took into account the fact that my granddaughter is very close to your granddaughter, and my daughter also knows your daughter-in-law, so she…”Sean asked, “What happened?”“My daughter had a hard time looking for her job. She’s in the finance industry. Finally, she was in charge of a financing project and wanted to give your son a lo
He was a voracious man after all! Especially being a young and powerful man, how could he not enjoy the pleasures of more than one woman? Sometimes, even if he did not seek them out himself, there would be people who needed his help who personally sent women into his bed. Delicate ones, timid ones who flinched at his touch, pitiful ones, enchanting ones, and sexy ones… Sean Ford had enjoyed every single one of them. Later, with age and the incident on Star Island, after he got himself both a wife and a mistress, he stopped his womanizing ways. And now, meeting Jennie again, inexplicably, the old man in his 60s felt a stir in his heart. Once the man’s heart stirred for a woman, he would try his best to prove his abilities. “Child, don’t be afraid! I’m here to support you even if that woman bullied you! I have been friends with your mother since we were both children. I love your mother very much. That’s why I will definitely avenge you.” Sean clapped his chest and promised the
Sean’s last sentence was what Jennie and her daughter hoped to hear the most.“Seany, you should go back in. We’ll leave after we watch you go in.” Jennie’s tone was sweet with a hint of gentleness. The old woman was seasoned and experienced. Especially the first few years when Lori was still a young girl were particularly tough on her. But she did not have eyes for sub-par men. She set her sights on the cream of the crop, and becoming the mistress of such wealthy and successful men. She would not hang onto them either, leaving after making her fortune. After some time, she was now an expert. Besides, she had bathed in luxuries since she was a girl, meticulously maintaining her beauty. That was why, even though she was already in her 50s, Jennie still looked like a beautiful pearl, like a woman in her late 30s. Besides, the matured yet shy look she presented exuded a sense of wanton allure deep from within her bones. Sean looked at her in a daze. “…”“Seany, why aren’t you head
Lori nodded gloomily. “Exactly, Mom, I poured in so much effort. I used the kid, Jennifer, to spend time with Aino, to first make her like them, and then I could use her to understand Sabrina’s personality and her weaknesses. And I even studied Sebastian and created an opportunity to run into him. I thought I had laid down a fool-proof plan, but I never expected that he would still hate me.”Jennie snorted. “That’s why I said you are not skilled enough! You need to practice more.”“Mom, please teach me.”“Firstly, you need to look naturally affluent; do you understand?” “Just like you, Mom?” Lori looked at her mother reverently. “Secondly, you must be weak when you need to be, pout prettily when you have to, and pay attention to this; you have to find a small, accidental window of opportunity. Never barge in when you see the chance of a big breakthrough. Sebastian is not a lustful man; a big breakthrough will only serve to turn him off. Once he dislikes you, you’ve lost all your
She sat on his lap, her heart beating ferociously. This was the first time she had thrown a temper in the company. This situation reminded her of the time when he had just brought her back from Ciarrai County. As if she had returned to that point in time.“You’re afraid?” He slung an arm around her slim waist, holding a cigar between the index finger and middle finger of his other hand. He sucked on his cigar and looked at her calmly. The little woman was now practically a shape-shifter. On the way, she had acted like a tigress, dragging the knot of his tie that she had cut off. That was a fresh and refreshing side to her he had never seen before. And he found it funny too. Maybe because she was nervous, but when she was almost at his office, she missed a step and almost sprained her ankle. Then after they entered his office, she immediately released him. At the same time, she started stuttering. “Se…Sebastian, did I… Did I…go too far?” Sebastian: “…”He looked at her, humo
Only then did she realize that her foot was resting on Sebastian’s knee. He was kneeling down on one knee, both hands holding her foot. She blushed instantly. “It… It doesn’t hurt. You… What are you doing? Why are you touching my foot in the office?” Sebastian was speechless. “…”She was shy, sweet, charming, her guilt still evident on her features after a long while. Suddenly, his Adam’s apple started to bob in his throat. “Are you trying to kill me!” He turned and carried her to his chair. The moment they sat down, Sean had arrived outside. Oh, God!Kingston, who was sitting outside the director’s office, bored, immediately spotted the old director.“Old Director Ford, hello to you! What brings you here, Sir?” Kingston blocked Sean in his path.What a joke!Even though the young director hardly took notice of his father, the old director came and went as though the young director’s office was no man’s land. “Where is my son?” Sean did not even bother looking at Kingsto
When Sabrina caught a clear look at the newcomer, she immediately addressed him. “Mr. Ford…”Sean’s face was dark with anger. “At least you still know I am Sebastian’s father…”Then, he turned and looked toward Sebastian. “The entire Ford Group was built and left behind by your ancestors! The women of the Ford Group hardly stepped foot in the company! Even though your stepmother worked together with me and greatly expanded the company, even though she had a position at the company, we hardly strutted through the office as a couple, with our hands all over each other!”Sebastian looked at his father coldly. “What are you trying to say?” At his son’s question, for a second, Sean himself forgot what he wanted to say. “…” He even forgot his aim in coming here today. Sebastian continued questioning his father. “Back then, you did not dare to flaunt your status as a couple with my stepmother because, according to the laws back then, you committed an act of adultery. At home, you had m
