When she smashed her phone into the ground like that, Sabrina felt as if she had thrown it right at the faces of every member of the upper class in South City, humiliating them all. Seated and watching the outburst, the noble families grew uneasy as the phone hit the ground.Sabrina smirked at them. “I’ve already bought my ticket for the train back to my hometown that departs the day after tomorrow. In just one and a half days, I will be leaving South City. This city belongs to all of you, and when I leave, it will be none of my concern anymore! I will never return here. If your sons happen to be seduced by some other woman in the future, it will have nothing to do with me. Now, Old Master Ford, please tell me, did I explain everything thoroughly enough?” Henry’s aged face was frozen stiff. He had originally wanted Sabrina to apologize to everyone in the hall, and to promise that she would never form a relationship with any of the scions or have any unwelcome thoughts toward the
“This woman is so cunning!”“She likes to play hard to get, pretending to be disinterested! If my son was in front of a woman like that, he wouldn’t be able to resist her tactics.”“Thankfully she got rid of her phone. I really hope that she will leave South City, and stop causing more trouble here.”“She’s just some nameless girl, but really wants to instigate discord among the upper class. It’s good that she decided to stop now, if not, we would have roughed her up!”“This kind of woman has to be taught a lesson, and learn to not raise her head as she pleases!”“Bah!”Most of them there had wished to see Sabrina kneeling before them and humbly confessing her wrongdoings.Was that not what happened in movies and dramas?A despicable woman like Sabrina should be on the ground, apologising earnestly. That image seemed so natural to them. Yet, Sabrina’s pride and resolve to die rather than lower her head truly angered those that her words should have been meant for.However, eve
"Sabrina..." Marcus did not know how to start."Tell me, Mr Shaw, am I close to you? Do we know each other well?" Sabrina looked at Marcus mockingly. "I admit, I have borrowed money from you once. Looking back at it now, it’s clear that I shouldn’t have done that. I've already apologized to you, so what more do you want?"What do you want from me?!"Just because I asked you for money once, you think that you can keep pestering me, even when you didn’t give me a single cent in the end. It's one thing for you to harass me, but you even got your sister to humiliate me and made your grandfather join in. Marcus, did I offend your ancestors or something?!"Marcus pleaded, "Sabrina, listen to me, can you please just listen to what I have to say?""Fine! Speak up, what is that you want?" Sabrina was getting impatient."I have an aunt." Marcus started to say."What does that have to do with me?!""A long time ago, my aunt ran away from home after throwing a tantrum at my grandparents. S
If it was the latter, then Sabrina didn’t just look like his aunt, her personality was the same as well.As she listened to Marcus talk about his aunt from the Shaw family, Sabrina suddenly felt a pang in her heart.In this world, every family seemed to experience their own joys and sorrows.Aunt Grace was someone filled with sorrows. As was Marcus’ aunt.Sabrina’s tone turned gentle. “I’m sorry, Young Master Shaw, your aunt’s story is very pitiful, but it has nothing to do with me. I’m only twenty years old this year, so there’s no way I could be your aunt. It would be much more believable if you said I was your aunt’s daughter.“However, before you let your imagination run wild, let me assure you that it’s impossible!“My mother is a native farmer, and is from the countryside.“Furthermore, she died quite a while ago.“Even if my mother was somehow your aunt, she’s already gone now.“If by some coincidence I was the granddaughter of the Shaw family, I’m sorry, Mr Shaw, but
Before her stood a woman who was pregnant just like her. Sabrina stared at Selene in disbelief. “Selene! Are you not tired? Aren’t you worried that you’ll lose the child in your belly? You even said your stomach hurt at the Ford family household just this morning, how are you fine already?”At that moment, Selene was in a good mood.So much so that nothing Sabrina said could upset or anger her.Earlier that morning, at the Ford residence, she had personally watched as Sabrina got rid of her phone, and saw how determined Sabrina was to end things with Sebastian. She could clearly see the anger in Sebastian’s eyes when he looked at Sabrina then.To Selene, it did not matter if the anger was directed towards Sabrina’s harshness.As long as Sebastian was angry at her.“Sabrina, I was feeling uncomfortable earlier, but I feel so much better now after taking a look at you. To be honest, I really admire how talented an useless girl like you is at seducing people. You actually managed to
“Do you want to know now?” Selene asked, full of glee.Sabrina looked at Selene with a dark expression. “Who is he?”“Why don’t you take a guess?”“A criminal in prison, waiting for the death sentence?” Sabrina didn’t have a clue. When she had met that man, he was clearly being incarcerated.Selene shook her head. “Sabrina, you definitely won’t be able to guess it, so let me just tell you. Early tomorrow morning, at seven. We’ll meet at the Forever Tea nearby, and then I’ll tell you everything properly, okay?”“Why won’t you tell me now?!” Sabrina demanded.“Hey, it’s already getting late now. If I’m going to tell you about it, I would need to start from the very beginning. You know I’m pregnant, just like you now. I have Young Master Sebastian’s child in me, do you know how valuable that is? I can’t afford to be careless, and need to head back before the sky turns completely dark. If you really want to know, I’ll tell you early tomorrow morning. Remember, Forever Tea, okay?”Sa
Sabrina’s expression suddenly changed. She sat down on the chair, dazed, and could barely even hear her own voice. “You… what did you just say?”“I said, today is my wedding day. I’m about to marry the most powerful man in South City, Sebastian and he happens to be the father of the child in your belly,” enunciated Selene as she smiled at Sabrina sinisterly.When Selene said that to Sabrina, it sounded as if she was talking to her best friend.Sabrina could only stare at Selene, stunned.Her entire body stiffened as she mumbled to herself, “How can this be possible? How can this be possible? How can this be possible? Isn’t that man supposed to be dead?“Isn’t he dead?”Since she assumed that the man had already passed away, Sabrina had always avoided the topic whenever possible. She never brought it up herself, because she would start to think that her fate was too miserable just at the thought.Her first time had been taken away by a man who was almost dead.And now, she even
She wanted to stand up, but her entire body was powerless. Selene noticed that, she smiled and said, “Hey, Sabrina, in the end I’m still your adopted sister. You stayed in my house for eight years, my parents gave you food and clothed you just like their own daughter. I also treated you like my sister. Now I’m telling you the truth, why do you think I’m joking? It’s my wedding today, do you think I’m free to joke around with you?”Sabrina was speechless, she actually knew that Selene was not joking with her.Only, Sabrina could not accept that truth.Selene took out her phone from a bag, showing a recording inside for Sabrina. “Look at this.”Sabrina’s eyes followed voluntarily, and her eyes suddenly widened.The recording was of that night three months ago, at the mountainside manor she went to. The manor was old and decrepit, so Sabrina immediately recognized it. The camera slowly zoomed in, it entered the main door. Then, it arrived at a dimly lit room, Sabrina saw that it was
