The police firmly believed this. However, there was no evidence to support the fact that Sabrina and the black-suited man were accomplices. Even after questioning everyone present in the hotel lobby, no one could provide an answer.On the other hand, a few women stammered for a while, then shook their heads. They wanted to say they felt Sabrina had been framed, but in the end, they lacked the courage to do so. Because now, nothing was certain, and with one wrong word, they might turn into public enemy number one. It was better if they just kept their mouths shut.Without any evidence, the police could only send the half-dead Steve to the hospital and then chase after the black-suited man. As for Sabrina, naturally, they did not arrest her. Seeing her daughter stand there uninjured, Gloria burst into tears of happiness. “Sabbie, I was worried just now.”Sabrina shook her head. “I’m fine, Mom.”“Fine?” Jennie glared at Sabrina viciously. “The police did not have evidence to arr
Chapter 1350
When Sabrina saw Sebastian and Lori walk toward his car, laughing and smiling along the way, her chest felt as if it had been battered by a blunt object until her blood was splattered all over the ground.For a moment, she was numb to the pain. She stared dumbly at the two of them as they climbed into the car, and continued staring until the car drove away. She knew Kingston must be the one driving. This reminded her of the phone call Kingston made to her two days ago. She never really understood the meaning of that sudden and awkward phone call. Even though Kingston looked like a cheeky and cheery man, he was never careless. Now, she finally understood. Kingston was taking the risk to alert her of the fact that Sebastian had had a change of heart. Standing beside her own car, Sabrina felt dizzy, as if her legs could not support the weight of her body, as if she had drunk twenty pints of alcohol. She did not know how she made it into the car, did not know how she started the

It was expected of a king who conquered the entire South City. As expected of a mistress’s son on the run, the man who overturned everything overnight.A man like this was 10,000 times stronger than that greasy and old-fashioned country bumpkin simp. No! 100,000 times better!Even if Lori was awarded with ten such simps like him, Lori would not even bat an eyelid. If she was to marry, she would definitely marry a man like Sebastian, the cream of the crop! And now, this man was sitting in the same private room as her. They were sitting so close together that she wondered whether he could hear her own heartbeat. Finally, within a month of her return, this man was sitting at the same table as her. Perfect!Ha! Perhaps, she might be able to climb into Sebastian’s bed tonight. “Master Sebastian…” Watching as Sebastian read through the contract wordlessly, Lori beat around the bush and asked, “I never expected my mother would know your father, Master Sean. I even have to add

Sabrina did not switch off her phone on purpose. Her phone had run out of battery. At that moment, she lay curled up on her mother’s sofa, crying wordlessly. She had no idea her phone was dead. An hour or two later, she was exhausted from crying, almost dehydrated. Her mother brought her a bowl of vegetable soup and called out to her softly. “Sabbie, get up and drink something, child.”Sabrina sat up. She forced a slight smile onto her face. “Mom, I’m fine.”“I know.” Gloria comforted her. “Don’t be sad. You still have me and Aino.”At the thought of Aino, Sabrina paused, then took out her phone to take a look at the time. Only then did she realize her phone had died. After charging her phone, she sat in the courtyard alone in a daze.But she could not sit still. The moment she sat down, her mind was filled with thoughts of Sebastian. She could not help herself. Looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, she felt as if there were drops of tears on the flowers. She even

Jane was indeed wise. At least she had now escaped this abyss of misery and lived a simple, but honest life with the man she loved. Right when she was thinking about Jane, Sabrina’s phone rang. She held it up and saw that it was a call from Jane. For some reason, her eyes immediately became wet. Tears streamed down her cheeks in rivulets. A strong sense of understanding and sympathy for the other woman’s similar encounter gushed into her chest. Sabrina barely managed to suppress the despair that accompanied such a realization. A minute later, when the ringing was about to stop, Sabrina successfully calmed herself down and answered. Her tone was peaceful and clear. “Jane, is that you?”Jane’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Sabrina, I’m just calling to let you know that I’m safe and healthy, and also to tell you that I can’t pay you back at the moment. Because even though me and my current boyfriend both work, we can only earn around two hundred dollars a day…”
Chapter 1354
This morning at the Grand Sage International Hotel, Holden left in a rush, so Sabrina did not have the time to ask him many of the burning questions she had. Now, seeing him again, she felt as if a lifetime had passed. “You’ve been crying.” Holden noticed Sabrina’s red-rimmed eyes. Sabrina did not answer. Her voice was cold and stern as she asked, “You’re the anonymous man who has been causing trouble in South City recently?” Holden snorted. “Didn’t you see me this morning at the Grand Sage International Hotel? If you didn’t chase me away, I would’ve beaten that stupid simp who bullied you to his death! I would even beat Lori and her mother until they die!”There was a hint of obstinance, despair, pity, and an indescribable heaviness to his tone. It was as if he was a child who could not obtain love and so was acting out, throwing tantrums to vent his emotions. “What about Rose Quinton?” Sabrina asked. “Do you want to kill her too?” Holden replied coldly, “Isn’t she the one

Holden: “…”His heart felt as if it was sliced by a thousand knives, and his eyes were reddening slightly. After pausing for several seconds, he nodded solemnly and said to Aino, “Alright, I’ll listen to you, I promise. In the future I’ll definitely listen to you, okay?” “Get in now, I need to talk to your mother,” Holden said.Aino sat obediently in the car.Outside the car, Sabrina looked at Holden with cold fury. “When did you come here!”“I have been waiting here for an hour. I saw Aino just now…” “I’m asking you when you came to South City!” Sabrina questioned.Holden laughed shortly, then continued, “After escaping from Star Island, I went abroad and sold off my assets at a very low price. Then, I went to the Middle East, bought what I needed, and came here to South City.”“Do you want to kill me?” Sabrina questioned. Holden: “…”“Every time you went to warn the Ford family not to bully me, do you know they think you’re my secret lover?” Sabrina roared furiously. H

On his end, Sebastian was exceptionally calm, as if he had spent the whole afternoon sitting in his office. “Sabrina, where are you?”Sabrina answered robotically, “Picking up Aino.”“I might be home late tonight. Head home straight after you pick up Aino. Don’t wait for me for dinner,” Sebastian continued. “Alright.” Sabrina tried her best to rein in her sobs, to make her voice sound calm.But, on the other end, Sebastian could tell that her voice was far and distant. Like a gust of wind, soon to be blown far, far, away.Sebastian: “…”After a pause, he asked, “Did…did anything happen to you?” Sabrina did not hide the truth either, saying, “Yes!” Then she continued. “We’ll talk when you get home tonight. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. You know I’m not very good at driving. Bye.” With that, she ended the call swiftly, without an ounce of hesitation. After ending the call, she did not start the engine immediately. She sat in the car, staring ahead of her in a daze.
