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
Seated beside him was Henry Ford and his wife. Seeing her son in such a state of rage, Old Madam Ford could not help but admonish him. “Seany! What are you so angry about? Now that Sebastian and his wife are on good terms, aren’t things any better?”“Mom!” Sean did not dare to challenge his son but he dared to challenge his mother. “Mom, what are you talking about! Who is Sebastian?” Sean asked his mother angrily.The old lady answered, “He’s my grandson, of course.” “Not only is he your grandson at the moment, but he’s also your only grandson! The only living heir to the Ford family! Not only does he represent the Ford family, but he’s also the most powerful man in the Ford Group! The most influential and respected man in the entire South City, the King of South City!”The old lady replied, “This proves that my grandson is a capable man.” Sean was furious upon hearing her reply. “Do you want your capable grandson to become the laughing stock of the city?”The old lady asked, “
“Sabrina! Damn you!” The moment he opened his mouth, Sean started cursing at his daughter-in-law. Sabrina was speechless. “…”She was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. When Sebastian walked out to answer the call, he locked the door behind him from the outside, Sabrina was locked in. Since she could not go out anyway, she simply laid down and continued to sleep. Within ten short minutes, she had fallen asleep again. And now, a short while later, she was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. Her entire body ached, whilst fragments of her heart lay scattered on the ground. During that extremely short nap, she had a dream. She dreamt that she and Sebastian were divorced, but after the divorce, every single day, she cried and sobbed. Her heart could not bear the idea of leaving him; she was so depressed she felt as if her heart was going to shrivel up and die. Having such a dream made her cry even in her sleep. When she was at the peak of her despair, she was awakened by a call
If it was Sabrina, she would not call him at all. However, Sebastian still answered the call. “Hello?”On the other end, Lori sounded unexpectedly calm. “Director Ford, I… I have something to tell you.”Sebastian answered, “Alright.” “Uhm… Last week Uncle Ford invited my mother, my granduncle, and I to the Ford Ramily residence. That day, he said you, your wife, and your daughter would also be present.” “Is there a problem?” Sebastian threw the question back at her. Lori’s tone was sincere. “It’s like this, Director Ford; your wife doesn’t like me too much, so, I think… Maybe you shouldn’t come?”Sebastian: “…”“Master Sebastian, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to prevent you from going to your own home. But because… Because Uncle Ford invited us, my mother and I have no choice but to attend. My mother and I have no one to rely on but each other, so we don’t dare to go against Uncle Ford’s wishes. That’s why I thought to talk to you first. Because I’m quite afraid your wif
Hearing Sabrina refuse so directly, Sebastian did not get angry either. His tone was even more direct than hers. “You can choose not to go.”Sabrina: “…”“Then don’t blame me for being ruthless towards Aino and your mother!” His tone was calm and indifferent. “You!” Sabrina sat up immediately. “Sebastian Ford, you’re not even human! You jerk! You cold-blooded beast!” Because Sabrina was too agitated, when she suddenly sat up, she forgot that she was actually naked. When she sat up suddenly like this, the natural silk quilt suddenly fell off her shoulders. Her dark messy hair covered her small face, merely half the size of a palm. At that moment, her big watery eyes held two crystal teardrops, making her look even more pitiful. Her skin that was exposed after the quilt fell from her shoulders made her look especially tender and delicate. Sebastian, who had just entered the room, was stunned for a moment. He was stunned because he saw the marks left behind by his hands. The bruises
Did it hurt? He did not say anything, continuing to clean her shallow flesh wounds. And now he was helping her get dressed. With his current actions, he acted as if he was her lover, her simp, returning to his image as a good father and loving husband. Who was he? Which one was the real him? At that moment, Sabrina was very confused. In her confusion, Sebastian had already got her dressed. After carrying her off the bed, he said to her in his deep and mellow voice, “I know the friction might hurt your feet, so don’t wear heels today, so just wear some flats.”She answered mechanically, “Okay.” Then she mechanically walked into the bathroom and washed her face. When she emerged from the bathroom, her tiny face was smooth and clean, without a hint of powder on it. Her hair, on the other hand, was tied up into a bun at the top of her head. However, her complexion was so pale that Sebastian could not help himself and took another peek at her. She immediately asked, “Do you have
