“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
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
“That’s why, there’s actually not much difference between my grandmother’s fate and mine. Since there’s no difference, then I have to make sure my daughter’s childhood will be different from mine, the bitterness of having a father, and yet, was never able to enjoy any advantages from having a father. “Sebastian Ford, since you cannot give your daughter your love, then you have to fulfill the responsibility that you owe her. You’re worth trillions of dollars! Even your daily income is calculated in tens of millions. Therefore, one-tenth of your daily income must be given to Aino. That’s just a part of it. And also, her shares! You have to give her shares to her too!”After her short speech, Sabrina took a sip of water then looked at him calmly. Her eyes did not hold an ounce of lingering love and attachment for him. It was as if the man sitting in front of her was not the king of South City, the Director of the Ford Group, but a homeless man who picked up trash from the streets that
Sabrina raised her hands and punched the man fiercely. “What are you doing! Sebastian Ford, put me down! We’re getting divorced tomorrow! From tomorrow onward, we’re no longer husband and wife, put me down! Put me down! Sebastian Ford! Please don’t trample on my dignity! Just let me die! If you let me go, I’ll smash my head into the wall! Sebastian Ford! Go and see Lori Gibson! Go and see your new lover! She’s younger than I am, more beautiful than I am, more educated than I am! She lived abroad! “What am I! I’m just an ex-convict! You jerk! You a**! Put me down! You are dirty! You are disgusting! Put me down! “Go to your new girlfriend! I’m just a freaking ex-convict! I was imprisoned! Why are you even touching me! Get off of me!” Sabrina’s tears flowed out of her eyes freely, dripping down her cheeks and onto her hair. His face was drenched in her spit. Even through his shirt, her sharp nails clawed bloody lines on his chest. If he was not wearing a shirt, she might even dig ou
She loved him! She continuously kicked him, cursed him, scratched him, all to warn herself, not to fall for him and his touch.‘Don’t fall for him, Sabrina! You’ve lost everything now! You saw him with another woman! Don’t fall!’ She warned herself time and time again. Until the moment she fell for him -- hook, line, and sinker. Her tears soaked through the pillowcases. In the end, the person she hated was herself. She had used up all her strength until she was exhausted.By the time she woke up, she realized her arms were wrapped around his neck. And him?With an extremely triumphant sneer on his face, he said, “Woman! So, you were lying after all?” Sabrina’s voice was hoarse from all her crying. “Sebastian, I don’t want anything anymore. I can even give up on Aino. Please just kill me! Sebastian, I… I’m so cheap, so worthless! I’m too embarrassed to live on, just kill me. I don’t want Aino anymore. She’s yours! I don’t want to live anymore, if you don’t kill me, then I’ll fi
Heart-wrenching despair enveloped her chest, accompanied by unforgettable pain. But at that moment, she lost. Psychologically, she lost. Physically, she also lost. She had prepared herself mentally the entire afternoon, and yet her defences crumbled like a sandcastle hit by an oncoming wave. At that moment, she lost so badly; not an ounce of her pride and dignity was left. She thought to herself, ‘Sabrina, you’re weaker than you were six years ago. Six years ago, you could still run around pregnant, escaping from city to city. Now, your mother and daughter are in his hands, so where can you escape to? Not only that, I'm afraid you don't want to escape, do you? You even… In fact, you are willing to compromise for the greater good, and to tell the truth, you’re unwilling to leave him. Isn't it? You’re so cheap, Sabrina Scott, so worthless!’Sabrina looked at Sebastian, tears flowing down her cheeks. “I know now, Master Sebastian. I’m just an ex-convict you captured and dragged back
At this thought, he felt so wronged that he wanted to straighten her head, to wake her up so he could reason and argue with her! To see who was the reasonable one! But at the thought of how she had finally fallen asleep, exhausted from her cries and screams, he could not bear to wake her up.He lay on his side and looked at her. There were still tears in her eyes. Her eyebrows were screwed tightly together, her expression as resolute as always, so resolute that she was willing to die to preserve her dignity. She scolded him and asked him to get out.“Ha!” He suddenly laughed in the dark of the room. Come to think of it, was there a second person in the entire South City who dared to scold him like that? Not to mention women, even men, including the veterans of the Ford Group, like his father, Sean, and his grandfather, Henry, which one of them dared to yell at him like that? She was the only one! Sabrina Scott! Like a crazed woman, she hit and punched him, bit him and cursed at him,
Sean Ford’s infuriated voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Sebastian! It’s getting harder and harder to contact you! Yesterday, I was trying to call you the entire afternoon!”Sebastian merely repeated his previous question. “Dad! What is it!” “I went to your office yesterday afternoon. I wanted to talk to you but I couldn’t even enter the building!”“What do you want?”“Have you forgotten what day it is today?” Sean asked.Sebastian: “…” He had no idea what day it was today; he only knew today was the day his wife turned against him. She had lived with him for more than a year, and she never exploded the way she did last night. If today was a special day, he would coin it as ‘The Day His Wife Went Crazy’. At Sebastian’s continued silence, his father continued, “Last week at your office, you and Sabrina both agreed to attend the banquet at the old residence today!Sebastian: “…” Now he remembered. There was indeed such an incident. Last week, the day Lori Gibson ba
