Ever since Gloria had been told off by Jennie in front of the Shaw residence's door about ten days ago, the old Master Shaw had not seen his daughter up until now. It seemed as though it had been ages since they last saw one another, and Gloria's expression was slightly complicated to the point that it was hard to tell if it was hatred; while the old Master Shaw looked calm, as though he did not know Gloria, to the point that enraged even Marcus."Grandpa! How could you come here with Aunt Jennie and Lori to participate in Sabrina's intervention??"The old Master Shaw was stunned at first, but then asked slowly, "Who? Whose intervention?"Marcus did not answer the old Master Shaw's question. He sighed and looked over to Jennie and Lori."Aunt Jennie, if you want to stay at our house, you should just do so peacefully and no one would have chased you out. My grandpa, my parents, and I all see you as a part of our family. But with that considered, shouldn't you talk to my grandpa abou
At night, she also did not have any nightmares because she was not used to sleeping in a different bed. Aino woke up the other morning with her grandmother right by her side and asked her, "Did you sleep next to me the entire time, Grandma?"Gloria shook her head gently. "No. I was worried that Aino might be scared to wake up alone, so I came here after I woke up this morning. Aino, try guessing what gift I have prepared for you.""Flowers! It's freshly picked flowers!" Aino beamed.Gloria had made Aino a flower crown early in the morning, and instantly, the little child no longer missed her mother or her father. She knew that her grandmother was doing everything she could to care for Aino, even better than her parents could and therefore, she could not help but want to get even closer to Gloria.Before her parents came to pick her up, Aino even told her grandmother that she would be staying with her every week to keep her company. Their bond had strengthened overnight. On her way
Sebastian's expression was calm, and his tone even more so when he said, "Hm! Hopefully you will be able to stay happy forever."Aino, who was holding hands with her father, started to realize that something was wrong. "Why are you here??" She looked up at Lori and questioned sharply.Lori gave her a gentle smile. "Hi, little beauty Aino, I… I am your relative.""A relative on my mom's side or my dad's side?""Hm… If we trace back to it, I am probably counted as a relative on your mom's side.""Then why did you talk to my dad first before talking to my mom?" Aino retorted immediately.“…”"You did it on purpose.""Wh-- What do you mean by that?" Lori stuttered. She was taken by surprise by the interrogation from the six-year-old little girl."That time when you bumped into me and my mom, you did that on purpose too, didn't you? Also, you sent your daughter Jennifer to the same kindergarten I go to on purpose as well, right? My classmate Jennifer told me that you are not her re
"Hello, Aunt Rose." Lori greeted politely from behind them."Oh, such a sweet child. I heard from people in the Ford Group that you have just signed a contract with Sebastian, so the two of you are business partners now. That's great," Rose said, fully intending for her words to be directed towards Sabrina.Sabrina and her mother Gloria felt extremely awkward, but apart from that, Sabrina felt fine. Her heart was dead, knowing that she came here today to be tortured and toyed with.‘So what? It's not like I haven't been tortured before. It's fine. As long as Aino and Mom are okay, that's all I want,’ she thought. When she managed to lower her expectations to such an extent, Sabrina somehow started to relax and even joked around with Sebastian with a casual tone. "I don't mind if you want to go ahead and hold hands with Lori right now, Master Sebastian, I really don't mind. If you don't go and hold her hand or support her, I'm afraid that Aino wouldn't hold back against her.""What
"You are the one that's presumptuous! I don't want a Grandpa like you! I hate you, Grandpa!" Aino cried even harder after being scolded by Sean.Sabrina, who was often composed, couldn't help herself at the sight of how upset her daughter was, and lowered herself to scoop Aino up into her arms in tears."Sabrina!" Sean barked. "How could you allow your own daughter to cause so much drama outside the gates of the Ford Residence? I can tell that you have run out of tricks and started using a child to try and manipulate us! You know that I have leverage over you and it's impossible to escape, so now you are using Aino against us?"Sabrina stood up abruptly and stared Sean in the eyes. "Sean Ford, do whatever you want to me, but I won't let you hurt my child! I'm already here, so of course I will follow you in, but I have a condition.""You name it!""Let my mom take my daughter away and I will go in with you. Aren't you planning to make me pay? Then you shouldn't need anyone else but
However, her mother said, "my sweet girl, I know that this must be hard on you. I just want to stay, even if they want to strip you down to nothing, I can still hold you in my arms so that you won't be too embarrassed, isn't that right, my child?"Sabrina immediately broke down in tears. "Mom...""Come, Mommy will go in with you. No matter what happens, I'm here to face it with you." Gloria looked at Sabrina with determination in her eyes.Sabrina decided not to say anything more. She turned to look at Sebastian, who had been silent the entire time, his face pale."I didn't ask you to be here just so you can walk around the gate and go back," he said.Sabrina laughed bitterly. "Very well, then, let's go in!"She had nothing else to fear today. What was the worst that could happen? Being dragged to parade the street naked? Even so, that would be her fate for this life and she had to face it! In the end, she only had one principle, and that was to tear anyone apart if they dare to
Sebastian glanced over at Sabrina and her expression remained calm. He then turned to study every single person at the scene and found a variety of expressions on each of their faces. Sean and Rose seemed extremely confident, Jennie and Lori's faces showed the kind of ecstasy that they were apparently trying everything they could, but failing, to conceal. Marcus was gaping at what he heard."How is that possible? How could someone like Sabrina keep two men out there? How could it be? She had lived with Zayn throughout the six years when she was on the run, but the two treated each other as siblings, without crossing the line even once. Now that Sabrina's life has finally settled into peacefulness and happiness, why would she go out there looking for other men? Does this even make sense?" Marcus muttered as though he was speaking to himself, when actually he was questioning Sean's accusation.Sean ignored Marcus and focused on staring at his own son, as Sebastian observed everyone's e
The only one left was the old Master Shaw. Sabrina glanced at him on purpose and found him sitting, expressionless. Not only was his expression blank, his eyes were half closed the entire time, probably because he didn't want to face the resenting glare from his own daughter."Sebastian, look! This is the proof, all of it! Your Aunt Jennie has it on her phone!" Sean shouted at Sebastian. Sebastian looked over and saw his father throwing a phone at him."Let me tell you something, Sabrina. Your man might have messed with the surveillance footage in the Grand Sage International Hotel, but don't even think for a moment that we won't be able to provide any proof simply because of that! Your Aunt Jennie has filmed the entire process of you messing around with those two men!" he reprimanded furiously. After that, he looked at Sebastian and continued, "Just look! Look at the video in there, don't you see who one of those men was? It's the same man who keeps harassing me and your step-mother
