Sebastian did not withdraw his cold gaze because of Sabrina's scream. He surveyed Sabrina with a serious gaze. Sabrina fiercely pushed Sebastian away, picked up the bathrobe, and wrapped herself. She quickly rushed into the small guest bedroom.Her tears streamed down her eyes the moment she closed the door.The sense of shame, only she knew how stifling it was.She wiped off the tears that she could not control with her wrist, and when she was about to get her clothes, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open. She shivered in shock.She looked up and saw that Sebastian had a first aid kit in his hand.Sabrina used a bath towel to cover her front. "You… What are you doing?"The man did not say anything but raised his hand to grab her by the arm. He made her lie on the bed with a flipping motion. She felt some kind of cool ointment was applied to her back before she could react.Sabrina’s back had several ligature marks that even she could not see by herself. She only knew sh
Sabrina jerked up her curly eyelashes and fluttered a few times. She did not remember who the man was at first glance. After a few seconds, she pursed her lips and said, "Master Nigel."The design director reacted immediately as if the crown prince had arrived. The design director got up from the seat, came to the front of Nigel, and said after courteously bowing and nodding, “Master Nigel, what wind blew you here? Were you…here to inspect the work?”"What's wrong with this staff?" Nigel asked carelessly."Well, a new recruit, no education, and no experience, but absent from work for several days. For such a person, the company could no longer retain her," the design director said."I… I would never miss work again. I would work hard to move bricks at the construction site…" Sabrina was determined to fight for one last chance. “It’s just an architectural assistant, right? Our company is enormous, so we must have compassion. We should give chances to any new recruits. Everybody ma
“At least buy me…” Nigel looked at the small restaurants in the surroundings. They were either dark and smoky or had a bunch of general workers eating lunch boxes outside. He pinched his nose. He must go all out if he wanted to get with this self-restrained chick! “No matter what, you should at least buy me a ten-dollar lunch box, right?”“Alright,” Sabrina replied promptly.The two bought a lunch box, the type that had two choices of vegetables and a portion of meat.Sabrina was full of the two mushroom sandwiches she ate. She sat opposite Nigel and stared at him while he ate.This feeling was extremely awkward.It was more awkward because Sabrina, who was sitting opposite Nigel, had an extremely bland expression. As he ate the lunch box that was as tasteless as wax, Nigel really wanted to reach over and recklessly rub on those cold and helpless little cheeks.The best would be to pull her into his arms and have his way with her.He did not believe that she would still be a
"How did you find your way here?! Get the hell out of here!" Sabrina was furious. It did not matter how Jade and Selene harassed and insulted her, but they came to the ward to harass the seriously ill Grace.Sabrina picked up her bag and smashed it on Jade.However, Grace called out to her, “Sabbie…”Sabrina turned around and looked at Grace. “Mom, don’t be afraid, I would beat and chase them out right away.”“Sabbie, I sent someone to call them to come over,” Grace said.Sabrina was puzzled. When Sabrina turned around, she saw both Jade and Selene looking at Grace─ lying on the hospital bed─ with frightened faces."Mom? You… brought them here?" Sabrina looked at Grace in disbelief.Grace’s face was pale, but she had an authority that no one dared to disobey. "Jade Sullivan, Selene Lynn!"“Madam Ford…” Jade nervously looked at Grace as if she had met a powerful opponent.Grace plainly recounted, "Although I was not legitimately married into the Ford family in this life, to b
“Slap your daughter’s face. You could stop when I say so. If you’re reluctant to slap her or if you did not slap hard enough, then I would ask two big and rough men to each slap her a hundred times with the soles of their shoes.”Jade was stunned. “Madam Ford, what…what did you say?”Selene was even more frightened that she ended up going limp and fell on the floor with her face covered in tears.Grace did not intend to repeat herself at all and only asked Jade, “Would you do it, or do I find someone else to do it for you?”“Me! I’ll do it. I’ll do it!” Jade crawled and came to the front of Selene. She raised her hand and gave Selene a big slap.“Mom…” Selene cried as she looked at her mother. “It's better than two men slapping you with the soles of their shoes.” Jade raised her hand and gave another slap. The slap landed on Selene’s right cheek.Jade slapped extremely hard.It was as if she was afraid Grace would not be satisfied.Selene let out suppressed wails while she wa
Kingston could not see Sebastian’s expression, but no voice was heard after a long time.“Master Sebastian, Master Sebastian?” Kingston called out. On the other end, Sebastian’s voice was extremely frosty. “I see.”Kingston said, “Young Master Sebastian, do you have any other orders?”“I’ll be busy these few days. The day after tomorrow, make sure you pick up Selene and wait for me outside the Ford Residence.” Sebastian wanted to use Selene to ward off the bevy of beauties Old Master had invited on his behalf.“Noted, Young Master Sebastian. I’ll hang up now,” Kingston courteously said.“There’s more,” Sebastian suddenly called out to Kingston.“Follow her.” Sebastian’s tone had a tinge of anger.Kingston said, “Follow who?” As soon as he uttered the words, he smacked himself on his head and said, “Noted, Young Master Sebastian. I’ll immediately follow Miss Scott!” After he hung up, Kingston drove along behind Sabrina to follow her. However, Sabrina’s tracks were very simple
Nigel’s car came inconspicuously to the front of Sabrina, “Sabrina, get in. I happened to be going back, I’ll give you a ride?” Sabrina looked at her dirt-covered self, shook her head and smiled. “No, I’ll just wait for the bus.”“It’s already so late. There shouldn't be any buses anymore, or maybe the bus just broke down somewhere, so you wouldn’t be able to leave unless you call a cab,” Nigel kindly said.To call a cab?She was almost completely broke.“Just get in.” Nigel personally opened the door for Sabrina, and Sabrina got in without any more hesitation.“Where to?” Nigel gently asked.“Harmony Hospital,” Sabrina said two brief and simple words, then did not speak anymore.Nigel looked at Sabrina a few times throughout the whole journey. She quietly stared out the window and did not initiate any conversation with Nigel until she got out of the car.However, Nigel was not anxious at all.The more prolonged and unceasingly pestered the game was, the more it was worth lo
“Master Sebastian…” Selene wanted to cry but did not dare to, which made her face looked even uglier. “I knew you don’t like me, and I’m the one who was reaching above my station for you. I would not appear in front of you again.”Selene turned around and left. Sebastian unexpectedly grabbed her arm.He was feeling more disgusted by Selene.However, there was a sense of responsibility. Selene once saved his life with her body, so that made him swallow all the disgust he had and tried his best to soften his tone instead. “How did your face become like that?”Selene had two rows of tears streamed down in grievance and shook her head.“Speak!” Sebastian said impatiently. “My…My mom slapped me,” Selene said honestly. “Mm?”Selene tremblingly said, “Your… Your mother sent someone to get my mother and me over. She said she wanted to… to avenge her daughter-in-law, so she asked my mom to… slap my face. If my mom didn’t slap me, then your mother would… ask two men to hit my face wi
