Marcus was stunned by her openness to borrowing money.After a moment, he only said, “I don’t have any cash on me. Could you leave your phone number with me? After the banquet ends, I would go get it for you.”Sabrina nodded. “Mm, thank you.”She then gave her number to a stranger she just met and only had a brief exchange. “Marcus!” A man nearby called out to Marcus.Marcus turned his head and saw Nigel. Marcus held a glass of wine and came to Nigel, “Master Nigel, what have you been up to lately?”Nigel gave Marcus a friendly punch. “Master Shaw, this is a banquet held by my grandpa to select a fiancée for my cousin, Sebastian. All the girls who attended the banquet today are socialites from South City and Kidon City. Why don’t you take the opportunity to pick one among them for yourself?” Marcus shook his head with a smile.Nigel smiled again. “Your cousin, Mindy, was also interested in Sebastian?”Marcus sighed and smiled. “Since Sebastian successfully took over the wh

Sabrina did not say anything. From the first moment Nigel approached her, she could tell that Nigel was a rich man who was just looking for some fun to divert himself from boredom and loneliness.Sabrina could not afford to play this kind of game, but she also could not afford to offend Nigel either.She forced a smile at Nigel, then continued to walk forward. “Get in!” Nigel leisurely rested an arm on the car window, then laughed and said, “You don’t have to be afraid. I wouldn’t eat you. If I had evil intentions, I don’t have the guts. Otherwise, my cousin would chop me into ground meat.”Sabrina glanced at Nigel.Nigel parked the car, got out, and pulled open the door. “If you went on foot in the dark like this, you might meet a man that could be worse than me. What would you do then?”Sabrina hesitated for a moment. She got into the car.Nigel closed the door, abruptly started the car, and made a sharp turn. Sabrina lost her balance and fell onto Nigel.Nigel wrapped a

Nigel did not plan to let her off the hook. “I’ll pay for you in advance. When you get paid, you could pay me back double." Sabrina was extremely hungry in actuality. Nigel brought her to a small restaurant and only ordered a few affordable dishes, as well as two bowls of Alphabet Chicken Soup. As soon as the pasta arrived, Sabrina could not wait and ate with her head lowered. She did not even look up as she finished half of the bowl of it. When she was almost done, she looked up to see that Nigel did not even touch his utensils.“Why… are you not eating?” Sabrina asked. Nigel casually spoke and cursed, “D*mn it! I would demolish this small restaurant tomorrow!“I asked them if the food was my favorite local cuisine that was on the sweeter end. They said yes, but when the dishes came and I took a bite, it was not sweet at all!” “It’s all oily and salty.”“I’m not happy about it!” “Were the dishes to your liking? If they were to your liking, then you should eat more. I d

“Sabrina! Sabrina! Wake up!” Sebastian raised his hand and placed it on Sabrina’s forehead. He realized that her forehead was burning hot.The man carried Sabrina and quickly walked towards the car. He pulled open the door and put Sabrina into the car. The man then got in and started the engine. After a cloud of black smoke came out from the car's rear end, the car was driven away swiftly.Selene cried out desperately behind him, “Darling Sebastian…”However, Sebastian’s car was already gone without a trace.Selene was so angry that she pounded the planter box outside of Sebastian’s building with all might. Her skin on the back of the hand was bruised from pounding which made her howl in pain as she sat on the ground.After she was exhausted from crying, she drove home with indignation.At that moment, Lincoln and Jade were waiting for Selene in the living room with a hopeful expression. They expected good things to happen in their hearts but the couple did not notice something w

The three members of the Lynn family, who were hiding in the distance, went weak in the knees with fear.Sebastian had already followed the doctor into the emergency room. The almost unconscious Sabrina had her eyes tightly shut, and her brows contracted. Her thick and curly eyelashes were covered with tears. Her eyelashes were initially beautiful, but they dropped lifelessly today. The face that was smaller than the palm of his hand turned crimson red like the afterglow due to the fever. Sebastian came close to Sabrina, who was still mumbling nonsense, “Baby, don’t leave Mommy… Don’t leave Mommy, Mommy has no family. Mommy… is lonely. Mommy… need a companion to continue living …”Her tone was bleak and pitiful. The doctor who was giving her first aid could not help but shed tears. Sebastian was watching all these with a cold expression, then asked in a deep voice, “Other than a high dosage of antipyretic drugs, then it’s only rapid physical cooling left?”“Yes.” The doctor no

There was also Marcus, whom she only met once. They were all wealthy men with high status. However, Sabrina was only a joke to them, a laughing stock that could amuse them.After her fever had subsided and she had woken up, Sabrina knew she still had no way out. She initially wanted to return to Sebastian’s place and honestly disclose everything to him. She had been framed by the Lynn family when she was in prison and was forced to sleep with a dying man. She then conceived a child, but that man was dead instead.However, when Sabrina saw Selene in Sebastian’s arms this morning, she kept her mouth shut. She knew about Selene and Sebastian’s relationship, and she could not say anything anymore. It would be a quicker way to death if she said it. A cold voice came from above. “Open your eyes if you’re awake. I have something to ask you!”Sabrina tiredly opened her eyes, and what met her eyes was Sebastian’s frosty and ghastly gaze that was like a piercing sword. The gaze was

“He died,” Sabrina said bluntly. Sebastian first froze for a moment as he did not expect such a reply from her.He curled his lips and smiled, “First get pregnant, then kill the man later? Your viciousness truly exceeded my expectations.”Sabrina did not speak again. Since any form of explanation would be a wasted effort, it was better to not deny and silently agree with everything to the end.She looked up. “Have you decided to keep me still to console your mother?”“Don’t tell me that you want to break the contract?” Sebastian asked instead. “You have exposed my deceptive scheme, I thought you…”Sebastian interrupted her with a sneer. “Since the contract has been signed, you must serve my mother obediently until she dies! Your scheme? You would first have to see if your schemes could be tougher than my tactics!”Sabrina was speechless. The man turned around and was about to leave, but Sabrina called out to him from behind. “You… Wait a minute.”Sebastian looked back at

“We’ve been through many hardships to be where we are today. I have endured sufferings that are beyond his imagination to protect him. Likewise, to protect me, the counterattack that he struck up was also something beyond my imagination as a mother. Sebastian has made a lot of enemies along the way to achieve his success today. If he found out that I longed for the land of the Ford Residence, Sebastian would let me move in at all costs. I didn’t want him to make a big fuss for me.” Grace’s tone was regretful, but it was more accurate to say she felt sorry for her son. However, Sabrina heard the loneliness of a woman’s life in it.Grace had never worn a wedding dress and had never been recognized by the Ford family in her life. Grace still could not fulfill her wish because she had layers of concerns even though her son had control of everything now.How similar could the fate of Grace and Sabrina be?They both were pregnant out of wedlock.Grace had been alone her whole life, and
