"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
Sabrina asked numbly, “Lincoln tried to favor Benjamin on the surface, but secretly used me to be on Sebastian’s side?”Selene shook her head. “Not exactly, in my father’s eyes, you’re not even qualified to help him curry favor with anyone. You were just a prisoner, a prisoner who needed to complete her sentence. As for my father, he actually mostly wanted to follow Benjamin, since Benjamin was still the true master of the Ford family in the end. He only secretly helped Sebastian to give himself some insurance? Because what if Sebastian turned the tables? He needed a plan that worked on all sides!”She continued, “Normally, Benjamin trusted my father the most. When Benjamin said he wanted to kill Sebastian, he entrusted the matter to my father. My father had planned on finding a prostitute, and killing her after everything. However, my father was very meticulous. Since he wanted to kill the woman, he might as well have looked for a criminal prisoner. After all, she would be sent back
Sabrina looked at Selene, stunned. She said nothing, she looked dumbfounded.Selene was very happy, and proceeded to provoke Sabrina even more. “You managed to offend the entire upper circles in the Ford family yesterday and even publicly offended my husband Sebastian. You shattered your phone, and you told everyone you would no longer return to South City, and no longer have any relationship with Sebastian. You swore it yesterday, Sabrina. So, if you look for my husband today, just guess what my husband would think of you. Oh, with my husband’s ruthless temper, I think he would send you flying with a kick. Ah, that would be perfect.”The more Selene thought of it, the more perfect that scheme seemed. No matter how she thought of it, the smartest, most brilliant person in the world was her mother, Jade. The plan had been conceived by Jade this time, even her father knew nothing about it.Jade had told Selene, “If you want to get rid of Sabrina completely, we need an unconventional
