Chapter 1359
Nigel asked, “What… What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m hanging up now,” Sabrina replied.Nigel: “…”After ending the call, Nigel pondered her words for a moment but he still could not figure out what had happened. He intended to call Sebastian to ask him about this, but Nigel was terrified of his cousin. Even though the Ford Group looked after the Conor Group a lot, whether it was business or staffing issues, the Ford Group always looked out for them. Besides, Sebastian’s attitude toward Nigel was much better than before. But still, Nigel remained terrified of Sebastian; his fear of his cousin was etched into his bones. That was why he did not even dare call him. Nigel contemplated the issue for a while but failed to come up with any answers. He gave up, driving to a flyover in the bustling city center. Since Harry Payne’s daughter, Minerva, followed Sebastian, Sabrina, and Nigel back to South City, she signed herself up for a repeat course that focused on high school curriculum. She

Holden did not look at Minerva, merely crushing his foot on Nigel as he said viciously, “Keep your distance from Minerva! You old fool, I’ll skin you alive, you hear me?!” With that, he lifted his leg and gave the other man a swift kick. Holden never offered his opponents or victims mercy. With that one kick, Nigel’s chest wound that had just healed would most probably start bleeding again.“Uncle Holden!” Minerva leapt onto Nigel.Holden was speechless. His foot paused in mid-air. Minerva said with surprise, “Uncle Holden, recently I’ve heard rumors that Holden Payne of Star Island is here in South City. I didn’t believe them, but is it really you?” “Move! Why are you protecting this old fool who took advantage of you!” Holden was so angry he wanted to kick her until she died. “You still haven’t learned your lesson, have you!” Minerva sobbed and shook her head. “No, that’s not true, Uncle Holden! Master Nigel is not that kind of person. In the two weeks that I cared for him,

He did not care about technique or skill, merely raining his fists down on Holden. Within moments, under the force of his punches, Holden was about to fall. Behind them, Minerva sobbed, “Nigel, don’t hit my uncle! Uncle Holden, Uncle Holden, I beg you, stop it. Nigel is very nice to me! He never touched me! Uncle Holden, stop it! Boo hoo!”The two brawling men did not spare each other any mercy. “Damn you! Killing you is as easy as killing an ant. If you don’t let go of me, I’ll kick you to death!” Holden said in a violent and masculine way. “Holden Payne, are you even a man? Since you lost your home, you think you can run here and harass Sabrina? You think you love Sabrina, but do you actually love her? Do you know how much pain she suffered? She almost died several times and was on the run for six years before she got the stable and happy life that she now enjoys, and you came and ruined it all! It’s all because of you! I’ll kill you!” Thump! With a loud thump, Holden ki

“Are… Are you asking about Aunt Grace’s tomb?”On the other end, Holden did not reply, merely asking in a cool tone, “When… When she was alive, was she in pain?”Sabrina: “…”“She… Do you have any photos of her?”Sabrina: “…”“What did she look like? Was she beautiful?”Sabrina: “…”“I heard you served with her in prison for two years. In those two years, her body was weak and she always fell ill. Were you the one who cared for her?” Sabrina: “…”She was in a very bad mood today. She planned to put Aino to bed, but Aino could not fall asleep in a different bed. She did not want to sleep at her grandma’s house. She wanted to go home. Not only that, Aino kept asking her, “Where’s my Daddy? Why hasn’t he come to pick me up yet?” The longer she persisted in her badgering, the more Sabrina found it difficult to leave Sebastian. She was lost and confused. Her heart was aching as if it had been sliced by a thousand knives. But right at that moment, Holden called her, asking her

Sabrina smiled. “You little thing, you miss your Daddy?” “Yeah, Mommy, don’t you miss Daddy? You can’t fall asleep without Daddy hugging you for even a day!” Aino teased her mother. Deep down, Sabrina’s heart was bleeding, but on the surface, she still smiled and said, “You little thing, you know me so well!”“Of course!”“But tonight is Grandma’s birthday, so no matter how much I miss Daddy, I should spend the day with Grandma,” Sabrina said. Aino said, “Oh, today is Grandma’s birthday?”Sabrina nodded. “Grandma has worked so hard her entire life and lived as a beggar for years, so she never truly celebrated her birthday. She hopes our family of three can stay here and accompany her tonight. But unfortunately, your father has a meeting tonight. If you insist on going home, I’ll send you home first, and you’ll have to wait there alone while I celebrate with Grandma.” Aino immediately curled up in her mother’s arms. “No, I don’t want to stay at home alone! I want to accompany

Sabrina’s tone did not sound as if she was talking to her husband. More like… Like two equally powerful mobsters negotiating a deal, and Sabrina was on the losing end. She sounded as if she knew she was losing but was still trying hard to maintain her composure. Even if she lost, her back would remain ramrod straight.Sebastian looked at his wife’s expression and laughed to himself. ‘Interesting.’“What do you want to talk about?” Sebastian asked.“I think…” Sabrina sucked in a deep breath and smiled as she spoke, “I think, no matter what we talk about, we shouldn’t discuss it outside, don’t you think so? But if you insist, I don’t mind.” Sabrina: “…”After a pause, he said, “I was waiting for you, until now. I kept calling you but you wouldn’t answer.” Sabrina asked, “Are we going in or not?” Sebastian slid his arm naturally around her shoulders. Feeling her cold skin, he frowned, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped it around her directly.Sabrina wanted to struggle, but

“I was used by Lincoln Lynn and accidentally saved your life with my body. That was the start of a mistake. Later… Later, see, in fact, you’ve always hated me. I was dirty and smelly, an ex-convict. I had nothing to my name, living at the bottommost level of society. No matter what, a woman like me has nothing in common at all with the most powerful man in South City. “But back then, I was young and naïve. I harbored a wild fantasy. I wanted to give my daughter a complete family. Actually… Thinking about it now, I was wrong, because… At that time I was too young and too afraid. I did not dare to face the future alone, so I wanted someone to rely on. “But those thoughts were just that, nothing but thoughts. I was on the run for six years. Six years later, you caught me and brought me back to South City.“Sebastian, I think, you did love me. Because I escaped, because I was not within your control, because I… I had your baby. “I think, for the past year, you gave me true love. But
Chapter 1366
Wordlessly, Sebastian looked at the wife he spent six whole years searching for. In her eyes, other than hatred, there was only a sense of calm. She was always so relentless. Just like seven years ago, she dragged a big snake-skin bag and ran desperately to his and Selene’s wedding hall to stop their wedding. Back then, she was firm and resolute, no longer caring whether she would live or die. And now, she was as firm and resolute as ever. But her goals were on two extreme ends of the scale. Seven years ago, she wanted to marry him. This time, she was determined to divorce him. She did not cry, did not flinch, only an unwavering determination and hatred could be seen in her eyes.This made Sebastian realize she was no longer the same woman that she was six years ago. Even though six years ago and now, six years later, she remained calm and composed, but she was different. Six years ago, she was a small and tender little thing. Even though she looked calm, she was so pitifully
