“Bah!” Zayn suddenly found courage from within, and with a burst he spat out, “You… Be it Nigel,Marcus, Kenton or even Young Master Sebastian, all of them are men!“Grown up men like them, bullying a powerless woman that they know they can get away with doing anything to, how shameful!“Do you not think so?“The young master especially... When his own mother was the same sort of pitiful woman the Ford family did not accept. Does he not have a shred of sympathy?!”After his rant, Zayn looked at Kingston like a man that had accepted his death.Though those were words he genuinely meant, he had not had the courage to say them in the beginning. It was only when he had been instigated by Kingston that he decided to tread lightly no longer.“I guess you want my life now. I just beg you not to involve my family. Three months ago, when the Ford family fought so intensely with countless other families, the Smith family never got involved. So, please ask Young Master Sebastian to take that

Hearing Sebastian’s harsh words that had clearly been said to drive her away filled Sabrina’s heart with immense pain, but she still forced a smile and said, “That’s great, give me a hundred thousand, I’ll leave immediately.”“Get out of this city!”“I definitely will!” Sabrina retorted, not backing down.Sebastian got up and took large strides outside the ward. As he walked, he undid his tie.How suffocating, so much so that he wanted to kill someone!Walking out, Sebastian noticed Kingston standing outside the ward.“Why are you standing here?” Sebastian asked.“Young master, you previously made plans with the bank to withdraw five million from your personal account which was meant for Miss Scott. The bank has already prepared it for you. They called me earlier to ask when you wanted to get it.” Kingston chose his words carefully.“No need!” Sebastian replied unsympathetically as he continued walking outside.“Ah?” Kingston asked, despite already knowing what Sebastian was

She really was arrogant and conceited.In contrast, there was nothing special about Selene. She was much like ordinary flowers that blended into the background of sceneries. The two silhouettes kept crossing Sebastian’s mind. Sabrina, who was always surrounded by men. Yet, even though she was always with different men, Sabrina had admitted to him before that her motives were not impure. Yet, the image that remained in Sebastian’s mind was that of a cold and aloof Sabrina, with her prideful gaze. Sebastian imagined that was what she had looked like as she took away Kenton’s manhood.Another image he couldn’t get rid of was that of Sabrina raising her arms to block the daggers meant for Nigel. The same scenes replayed over and over again in Sebastian’s mind.And Selene?Selene was the woman who saved his life and had his child. No matter how much he hated her, it was a responsibility that he needed to bear.That afternoon, Sebastian remained at Grace’s grave for several hours,

Sabrina took the heavy envelope, her heart still restless.If she had any other alternative, she would choose not to take the money. A hundred thousand bucks was probably not a lot for Sebastian, but it was enough to crush her dignity. However, when it was a question of survival, what was dignity worth? Sabrina bit her lips and tried to keep her emotions in check, taking the money while looking at Sebastian coolly, “Thank you.”Sebastian said nothing.‘I wanted to give you five million, but you did not think I could be trusted!’His expression was cold as usual. “No need to thank me!”Sabrina’s heart was a mess.Walking out of the city hall after having formalised their divorce, Sabrina knew that she would no longer have anything to do with Sebastian anymore. Their marriage did not last longer than two months, but it had gone through countless ups and downs and different challenges, to say the least.Yet, for some reason, Sabrina suddenly felt reluctant to walk away. Right at th

“So what if it’s true or not?” Sabrina looked at Sebastian with a sarcastic smile, “Does that have anything to do with you, Mr Ford? Even if I’m having Kenton’s child, it was before we got married anyways. If I really did have a relationship with him, does it have anything to do with you right now?“We’ve already divorced!“What happens between me and the Horst family is none of your business!“Then get lost!” Sebastian snapped back at her angrily.“Remember, you were the one who asked me to stop!” Sabrina cried out, unable to control her emotions as she felt wronged, “Mr Ford, we’ll never meet again!”Having said that, Sabrina turned around and left.She had actually planned to ask Sebastian whether she could visit Aunt Grace’s grave in the future but in the spur of the moment, she forgot.Sabrina only managed to take one step forward before Kingston grabbed her arm.This was very out of character for Kingston, who had always been a very disciplined bodyguard and assistant to
Chapter 148
Blood flowed out from Sebastian’s hand where the knife had struck, but he remained calm. Sabrina,still nestled in Sebastian’s arms, was so shocked that she started to tear. “Sebastian, you… is your hand bleeding?”She had called his name using that tone before only when they had been in front of Aunt Grace.Sebastian knit his eyebrows and exclaimed in a low voice, “Why are you crying?!”Meanwhile, the woman who tried to stab Sabrina had been kicked away by Kingston.She spat out a mouthful of blood.Sebastian then took out the knife that was lodged in his hand, which prompted Sabrina to hold his injured hand in hers. Watching Sebastian bleed more and more frightened Sabrina so much that she started to tremble.However, Sebastian only smiled coldly at her. “When you stabbed Kenton, wasn’t there a lot of blood as well?”Sabrina said, distressed, “I only injured him to protect myself. At that moment, I was so furious that I wanted to kill him, even forgetting my fear in the meantim

The woman was from the countryside, and was barely literate. However, because of her attractive looks, she had been able to attach herself to Kenton when she was a little over twenty years old, even though the man was already approaching sixty. In the ten years she spent with him, the woman was shielded from the perils of the outside world.So, when her world was turned upside down, Jade and Selene took it to themselves to instigate her further, turning her into their tool. Selene really thought that their plan would succeed this time, and end up causing Sabrina a lot of trouble.Yet, at the most fatal moment, Sebastian had saved Sabrina.Selene’s heart was once again filled with jealousy.When she returned home, Jade saw Selene’s teary and dispirited look. She asked, “Selene, what happened? Did that woman end up killing Sabrina?”“Mom, boohoo.” Selene started sobbing even harder, “When will we ever be able to get rid of Sabrina? That despicable woman is just too lucky!”When s

“Who are you? Why do you have my husband’s phone?” On the other end of the line was Selene’s sharp and accusing voice.Sabrina muttered, “I…”She turned to look at Sebastian with an afflicted look on her face, her heart sinking deeper every second.She did expect that the call would be from Selene, because her number was not saved on Sebastian’s phone. Yet, the moment she heard Selene’s accusing and sharp tone, Sabrina immediately felt like she was in the wrong.Still, she put the phone to Sebastian’s ear. “Hello?!” Sebastian sounded extremely unhappy. “Hubby… Young Master, boohoo, why is there a woman by your side? She even answered the phone for you, who is she? Boohoo.” Selene sobbed, but still maintaining a delicate tone. Even though she had said that, Selene actually knew who that voice belonged to.Just by hearing the voice, Selene could tell that Sabrina was the one who had answered the phone for Sebastian.It did make sense, because Selene had watched as Sebastian b
