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

“Well, Mr Ford has already been properly bandaged, and should be fine now. I don’t think I need to be here anymore. Please thank Mr Ford for me, I am truly grateful to him. I will never forget the debt I owe him for saving my life. Right, Mr Yates, if you ever have time in the future, could you please help me ask Mr Ford if he would be willing to allow me to visit Aunt Grace’s grave?”Kingston didn’t know how to respond.“Aunt Grace will forever be family to me, which is also why I was adamant to forfeit the money agreed on the contract. I won’t define our relationship with money,” Sabrina said.“I will certainly ask that on your behalf.” Kingston answered. “Miss Scott, the young master’s wound was just bandaged, would you mind just taking care of him for just a little longer?”Sabrina smiled, “Mr Ford is in the middle of a phone call now… with his fiance, Selene.”“But he doesn’t love Selene!” Kingston suddenly cried, his voice full of resolve. Sabrina didn’t know what to make

“Sab… Sabrina.” Nigel didn’t know where to start. He looked bashful, much unlike his usual self.Standing in front of Sabrina, with his face unshaven and expression haggard, Nigel looked like he had met death.In contrast, Sabrina’s expression was relaxed. “Mr Conor, you should just speak up if you have anything to say.”“Sabrina, I’m sorry,” Nigel managed to say.“You already told me that a week ago. I accept your apology,” Sabrina replied with a kind smile.“I hope you can forgive me.”“I’ve already forgiven you,” admitted Sabrina.“Do you… still love me then?” Nigel asked carefully.When she heard this, Sabrina lowered her head and fell silent. After a while, she raised it again to face Nigel. “I can’t lie to you, Mr Conor, I… have never loved you.”Nigel was taken aback.“I’ve never truly loved you.” she confessed, while trying to maintain her composure. “Ever since I was sent away at twelve, I learnt how to gauge the temperaments of others. In the eight years that I spen

“Can you find it in your heart to forgive me this one time? I swear that I will love you properly. I will treat the child in your belly like my own. Please, would you give me another chance, Sabrina?”Sabrina shook her head lightly as she responded, “Mr Conor, I don’t love you. I will never give a second chance to someone who wouldn’t even treat me like a person. Right... You came at a good time actually. I was just about to go look for you.”As she said that, Sabrina headed back into her room to get an old envelope, which had Nigel’s name on it.Nigel could feel that the words had been written decisively, without room for carelessness or hesitation. Looking at his own name on the envelope, all Nigel could think about was Sabrina’s conviction.If a person’s handwriting really did reflect their feelings, this was proof that it was true. It was actually the first time that Nigel had seen Sabrina’s handwriting, which he thought looked beautiful.It wasn’t delicate at all. Rather, i

After Nigel and Zayn finally left, Sabrina headed to the bank to get an account to deposit the money in. After that, she went to the train station to purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, she was told that there were no trains heading to Sabrina’s hometown at the moment.The salesperson said that she would have to wait at least 3 days for the next train.Alternatively, there was a bus service that connected her hometown and South City, but the journey would take an entire day. In addition to the five or six hundred dollar fee, the main issue was how bumpy the ride would be.It was too dangerous. She couldn’t risk her baby’s safety by travelling on that bus. After hesitating for a moment, she told the salesperson, “Give me a ticket for three days later.”Once she got the ticket, Sabrina decided to go for a stroll. It had been over two months since she left prison, but she never had the chance to walk around idly.She had neither the money, nor the time.For the entire morning, she

“Farewell, mother,” uttered Sabrina as she left the cemetery reluctantly. It was already four or five in the afternoon when she reached her residence. Instead of preparing a meal, Sabrina decided to get something to eat before going back to spare herself the effort.Just as she sat down at the food stall, two women started to stare at her.“It’s her, it’s definitely her! The background of the video was right here in this area. It’s her, there’s no doubt about it.”“I think it’s her too! Just look at her, acting all quiet and polite with an honest look on her face. I wouldn’t be able to tell that she was that good at seducing men.”“I heard that both men were famous scions of rich families in South City, one of them is even the grandson of the Ford Group head.”“The other one’s family might have fallen off a bit, but they’re still nothing like us commoners. Their family assets are worth at least hundreds of millions!”Sabrina was by no means deaf.The two women were clearly tal
