Sabrina turned around to find the developer of her current construction project, the proprietor who had contacted her earlier, Neil."Director Johns, what brought you here?" Sabrina asked humbly as she looked steadily at Neil.Neil was dressed in an exquisite suit that emphasized on his handsome features and athletic figure. His looks along with the fortune he held had made him one of the most eligible bachelors in the county with countless girls dying to crawl their way into the wealthy developer's heart. Had Sabrina run into a caring man like Neil back when she was studying in college three years ago, she might have been moved. But after everything, Sabrina only wanted to live her life in peace with her daughter and her brother."I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have returned home, I thought I could come over to check on you." Neil lifted his hand that was holding the basket of fruits and flowers and explained, "I bought them for your daughter and your brother, do a
After dinner, Sabrina decided to spend the night reviewing the blueprint for the construction, while Zayn tugged Aino in and read her story books. The two were overjoyed in each other's company and Sabrina would take a peep at them from time to time, feeling like everything was right in the world.The next day after breakfast, Sabrina went to have a discussion with Zayn."I'm going to go back to Aino's kindergarten to proceed with the procedures of having her transferred, and look for a different kindergarten elsewhere. Maybe it's best to keep our distance with people like Mr. Sullivan, they are far too powerful for us to risk being in conflict with them, we might as well just avoid them altogether.""Sure," Zayn nodded in agreement.Having reached a consensus, Sabrina was just about to head out when she saw two men standing outside the fences and were about to knock on the door. The two men were dressed in official attire with briefcases in their hands."Hi, can I help you?" Sabr
Sabrina’s voice was so low that it was barely even a whisper that no one beside her could hear, and was more like a faint sound that was emitted from the depth of her throat. Every muscle on her body tensed uncontrollably at the man's presence. It had been six years and the intimidating aura on him seemed to have only thickened since she last saw him. Without even saying a word, he could bring the most strong-willed people down to their knees. The Sullivan family lost every last strand of their previous arrogance the moment he stepped in, and immediately fawned over the man."Mister...Mr. Ford, what brought you here? This...this injury on my back isn't really that bad," Mr. Sullivan smiled humbly at Sebastian , stuttering as if he was at complete loss of words. His wife nodded frantically by his side, not daring to utter one single word.Surprisingly, their son Leo seemed familiar with Sebastian and called out to him, "uncle!""Mm-hm," Sebastian responded in a low tone."Skank!" Le
Where could they possibly run to? Tears welled up in Sabrina's eyes as she bit down on her lower lip to anchor herself from the drowning despair and refused to look at Sebastian."My friend here earns over a million each day! He will be stuck in the hospital for a week, and you are saying that five million is too much of an amount as compensation for the loss income and expenses for his recovery?" Sebastian continued."..." Sabrina remained silent."If it's up to me, I would say ten million is the appropriate amount!" Sebastian claimed indifferently."Oh my, Mr. Ford, thank you, thank you so much! You are absolutely right, they should compensate ten million for our loss!" With Sebastian 's support, Mr. Sullivan had only grown more righteous.Despite being a child, Leo too was very observant and immediately turned to smile sweetly at Sebastian , "thank you, Uncle Ford.""Hmph! You can find yourself a hundred uncles and I am still not afraid of you, this doesn't change the fact tha
In the face of the majestic man, Aino who had been fearless, fretted for the first time. She had seen this man before on her mother's computer, and her mother would always sob in silence late at night when she was all alone looking at this man's photo. To a five year-old child, Aino could only interpret her mother's tears as a result of fear towards the man, and it was only natural for a child to fear what their mother feared. Frightened, Aino dared not to answer and backed up a few steps.Leo, who was behind Sebastian, was increasingly impatient and screamed, "Uncle Ford, kill her! Kill Aino Scott!"Just as both Zayn and Sabrina were stunned like deer in the headlights, Aino seemed to have finally gathered up the courage to speak."Can you let go of my mommy?" She asked."What?" Sebastian scowled in confusion."My mommy is scared of you, she always cries whenever she sees you. If you let go of mommy and uncle, I will let you kill me," Aino met Sebastian's eyes nervously.The fiv
"Mommy, I don't want you to die..." Sabrina's words immediately brought Aino to tears."Director Ford! I have no use with her life, just how much would a skank's life worth? I want my ten million! Exactly that, not a penny less! She can sell a kidney or sell whatever she has to offer on the streets for all I care, and pay me what she owes me together with interest! However long it takes, even if it takes her entire life!" Mr. Sullivan shouted mercilessly at the sight of both Sabrina and Aino breaking down in tears.It was precisely that moment that the doctor in charge of treating Mr. Sullivan came in to find the room packed with people, the doctor scowled in disapproval at the noises."This isn't the right place to discuss further on the ten million here, it's going to affect the patient's recovery and distract the doctor from his tasks. Where do you live? Let's take the discussion over there!" Sebastian commanded.Kingston could barely hold back his laughter by placing a hand ove
"I knew something was off when Sebastian Ford came looking specifically for a Section Head like me, instead of going to the filthy rich when he first arrived in the Ciarrai County. I had thought that maybe he was taking my brother's connection to the mafia into account, but now I'm guessing that has nothing to do with this," Mr. Sullivan mumbled as he tried to calm himself, "Ford probably knows that our son goes to the same kindergarten as Aino Scott.""Well then, why would he join hands with us to bully his own daughter?" Mrs. Sullivan was puzzled, still."Do you even know anything at all??" Mr. Sullivan roared and instantly silenced his wife from questioning him any further. Mr. Sullivan then proceeded to grab his son's hand and started his way out, all the while barking, "we need to go home immediately to pack and run for our lives. Hurry!""I don't want to!" Leo screamed and cried along the way, "Aino Scott still hasn't kneel to me! I want to beat her! I want her to admit defeat
People were stepping out of their cars continuously, each dressing in a more luxurious outfit than the one before them. Though it was undeniable that these are people of power, they were all jittery in Sebastian 's presence. Zayn glanced over and saw a few new faces, as well as some familiar ones. These were all individuals with influence across various fields in Ciarrai County. To think that they had all gathered in his yard just so they could suck up to Sebastian, that was enough proof as to how tremendous Sebastian 's power was.Sebastian scanned the crowd emotionlessly, like a kind staring down on his subjects, as he said in a cold indifferent tone, "unfortunately, I am only here to handle some personal affair. I do not have time to socialize."The crowd was instantly silenced while Kingston stepped out. "All of you are expected to leave within five minutes!" He barked."But..." One of the more courageous men asked hesitantly, "when will we be given the opportunity to treat Mast
