Sabrina sighed a breath of relief that Sebastian was finally satisfied and that she didn't have to try on anything else. Trying clothes on, especially clothes that were meant to please the eyes of beholders, was nerve-wracking."Tired?" Sebastian asked."I'm fine," she replied.Sebastian glanced over at the saleswoman. "Pack all the dresses I've picked so far.""Yes, Mr. Ford. I'll get to it right away," the saleswoman chirped cheerfully.Sebastian then lowered his gaze to look Sabrina in the eyes and asked, "These dresses, do you like them?" He had been the one to pick out every single one of the dresses specifically for her. Some of them were more mature in style and some were more innocent-looking. Regardless, they were all styles that matched Sabrina's unique demeanor."I don't really care," Sabrina lowered her eyes calmly and asked, "I am already wearing one now, would it be a waste to buy this many?" She couldn't help but worry that the expenses would be added into the debt she o
They had to be mindful of being appropriate."Alex, I'm only here today because you invited me. God knows if Sebastian is going to cut me some slack. I mean, you know better than I do just how merciless that guy is. I am more than happy to make peace with the man, I just don't know if he feels the same!" The man who spoke had a scar across his face and looked to be in his thirties. Despite his vicious looks, the woman seated next to him was an enchanting beauty.“Kelvin!" Alex was unforgiving in his tone. "Let me tell you, you don't really have the right to complain about how Sebastian wouldn't cut you some slack. Even me, who practically grew up with the guy, haven't been shown much mercy! He might be cruel, but he would never stab someone in the back. Think about what you did back then. If you hadn't set him up that day, Aunt Grace wouldn't have ended up in jail, not to mention dying from illness afterward. How could Sebastian overlook this and make peace with you?""I was forced int
Heated discussion immediately erupted across the room at Sabrina's words. Rumors had been circling the South City that Sebastian Ford had personally tracked down a woman from foreign land and brought her back, as though he had an unspeakable grudge against the woman. Judging from what Sabrina had said earlier, every person in the room had instantly reached the conclusion that she was the source of the rumor. So for Sebastian to take her here, is it possible that he wanted to present her as a gift to his friends?"So keen to announce who you are?" Sebastian whispered into Sabrina's ear with a stone-cold expression."Mm-hm." Sabrina did not bother to explain any further. After all, it was not her place to comment at the current situation she was in, neither would she know what to say. All she knew was that she had to do everything Sebastian asked of her.Sebastian glared wordlessly at the woman before him, desperately wanting to strangle her.Among the guests in this room, four of them w
With his confidantes penetrating the Ford Group, Sebastian was finally capable of turning the table on the Ford Family six years ago and removed every last member of the family from power overnight. Despite the shift of power, which should have caused chaos throughout the city or even the entire country, the Ford Group remained unwavering without being affected by the slightest. The first day Sebastian stepped in as the new Director of the Ford Group, all members of the upper management instantly greeted him as "Director Ford" like they had known him forever. That was precisely the moment when the old Master Ford and Sebastian's father Sean Ford finally discovered that they had underestimated him. Sebastian might have been sent away, but he had found a way to take charge of the Ford Group. The Ford Family had adhered to a rule to not pass on their legacy to illegitimate children, they would not be given any privilege or treated as one of the Ford Family's members, and Sebastian was the
While Sebastian struggled to keep his expression in check, Alex was ecstatic at his friend's suffering and burst out laughing. He knew Sebastian better than anyone. For him to not only find a way out to survive, but also bounce back from the suppression of the entire Ford Family, Sebastian had always been one in a million in terms of abilities and determination. The four of them might not share the same family name, but had helped each other through adversity following Sebastian's lead. It had been six years, who would have thought that the infamous Sebastian Ford would finally find someone who had him by the short hairs without even trying. Alex could tell that those words that Sabrina had casually uttered expressionlessly, really seemed to have an impact on Sebastian, so much so that he couldn't find the word to retort."Well, Miss. Scott," Alex teased, "for an escort to be personally brought here by Sebastian, you must be insanely expensive.""Um...thanks, I guess," Sabrina replied.
It was better to sit there with Sebastian. When Sebastian went out to answer the phone, Sabrina felt extremely uncomfortable. In that gigantic room, everyone’s gazes fell on Sabrina. Alex had a smile on his face and Martin looked calm. Kelvin looked over at Alex curiously, wanting some news from Alex. In the last few years, Kelvin had mostly been in the south-western part of the country and seldom interacted with Sebastian, so he did not know of the situation. However, even he knew that Sebastian’s fiance was from the Lynn family, named Selene. So what was the deal with that girl?In the room, it was not only the men who were staring at Sabrina. Every one of the women were all also measuring Sabrina, unabashedly.“I heard that she was captured by Sebastian.”“I heard that she was the one who ruined Sebastian’s marriage years ago.”“We know how ruthless Sebastian is! He never lets anyone who has offended him off easily.”“Didn’t you hear the girl saying it herself? She’s just h
Sabrina did not even look back, and just washed her hands calmly.“Girl!” Aire’s cold tone had an aura that did not allow any refusal. “I sprained my foot. Help me carry my shoes, do you hear me?!”Sabrina washed the sweat from her palms and turned around to look at Aire. The woman was pretty, she had an arrogant look about her. Comparatively, Sabrina looked bored and indifferent, her tone was even more apathetic. “Excuse me.”Aire tossed her long, wavy hair back, puffing up her chest as she blocked Sabrina’s way. “You’re just a hostess girl, why don’t you know your place? Being able to hold my shoes is an honor for you! You know yourself that you were just brought here to drink with Sebastian! You should know that Sebastian will torture you to death one day. If you hold my shoes now, I might be able to save you in the future. Are you really trying to act so pretentious in front of me?”Sabrina really did not want to end up in a fight with this lady she did not know at all. She p
He ran away for six years. In order to find Zayn, Zayn’s parents were forced to sell the company to Zach at a low price. Now, Zach was in charge of the Smith Group.Zayn’s family had instead been chased out of the country by Sebastian, and their whereabouts were unknown. Sebastian was able to find Sabrina and Zayn because of Zach. Zach had helped Sebastian because he wanted Sebastian to be in his debt, and he wanted to slip into Sebastian’s circle. He wanted to solidify his position in South City.Zach felt like it would not be hard for him to mingle with Sebastian’s circle, because Zach’s wife was Alex Poole’s cousin. It was only through that relationship did Zach have the fortune to participate in that gathering among four brothers. Zach had been worried about the lack of topics in the conversation with the woman next to him.She really was a top international movie star. Aire’s beauty and grace with every action was obvious, even her communication skills were top notch. If it wa
