At the very moment, Yvonne wanted nothing more than to snatch those shoes and beat both Ruth and Emma to death. Before she exploded, Linda once again reached to grab one of the shoes from Ruth."Ms. Mann, I hate Sabrina, too. Let's do it together and see who can ruin her face best, how's that?"Emma's smirk deepened at the sight of the two fighting over who was going to beat Sabrina up, and that was when Yvonne decided she could no longer take it."Ruth, you moron!" she shouted. All eyes immediately gathered on Yvonne in awe.With no intention of hiding her contempt, Yvonne screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ruth! You call yourself a princess all the time like you are someone important, when you are nothing more than a mere employee like the rest of us! Real ladies from wealthy families wouldn't even blink over buying all those expensive skin-care products that you couldn't afford! Being poor isn't wrong! But allowing yourself to be used like a weapon by the wealthy elites is simply pa
Sabrina stood protectively before Yvonne with a bitter smile on her face. "Just do it, whatever makes you happy. I won't run off with whoever comes to my rescue. Do it."Sabrina closed her eyes and stood as she waited for Linda to strike. Many of her colleagues who were at the scene couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Sabrina at her words. It was normal for colleagues to encounter conflicts with one another during their daily operation, that was a part of the office dynamic. But there had never been conflicts so severe that warrant a public beating with the sole intention of destroying someone's face. Most people had always despised the kind of person Linda was, and some decided to leave as they couldn't bear looking at the cruelty that was about to unfold before them.Linda, on the other hand, had only grown more vicious. She resented the fact that Master Ryan had his eyes on Sabrina since day one, she resented Sabrina for not pointing out the mistake on her blueprint even thou
Linda's eyes widened in shock and shrieked after finally coming to register what had just happened. "Dear...dear policeman, wh-why are you here? Please don't arrest me, you should be arresting this woman instead! She's a home-wrecker, a prisoner that escaped from prison before! She is a scammer who forged a fake resume, she- Ouch!""No matter what this lady has done wrong, you do not have the right to attack her!" the police said. "Assaulting someone in public like this is a complete violation of state law! Please come with us!"With that, the police began to drag Linda out. Bruises were starting to form around Linda's wrist as she resisted. She tried her best to ignore the pain and screamed frantically, "Ms. Poole, Ms. Poole, please help me! You were the one who asked me to beat Sabrina!""Scum!" Emma scoffed. She stood by as Linda was taken away by the police and refused to say a word to help.Once Linda was taken out of the office, she turned to the crowd and asked sharply, "Who was
Emma's voice came through the line as she anticipated and said, "Sabrina, I won't have to teach you what to say now, will I?""How did you get my number?" Sabrina asked calmly."How do you think?" Emma chuckled casually. "Your contact is in the Human Resources' database, why wouldn't I know? I know you are currently being questioned at the police station. Whether Linda can get out depends on whether you are willing to be a good girl.""So are you choosing to protect Linda, or yourself?" Sabrina's tone remained composed."What are you trying to say??" Emma barked."I mean, if I burn, I'll make sure we burn together.""You wouldn't dare!""Sure, I wouldn't." Sabrina smiled bitterly. "My daughter's fate is in your hands after all, of course I wouldn't dare! But what matters here is for you to make sure I tell ONLY the truth of what people saw here. Linda was indeed the one who hit me, and the police saw her with their own eyes!"Emma paused for a moment, before caving in. "Fine! Linda onl
Tears flowed down her face at the memory she had for the past two months, but very soon, she was able to anchor herself and regained her composure. She hurried to the bathroom and stared at her reflection on the mirror. It took four hours with an ice pack on her cheek to finally reduce the swelling, but her face was still marked by the bruise that had ruined her beauty. Sabrina forced a bitter smile before putting the facemask back on. She wandered off to her bedroom to retrieve the box filled with jewels that Sebastian had bought for her as a gift. Within it, was a pair of bracelets she received from old Mrs. Ford.The bracelets reminded Sabrina of the day she visited the Ford Residence. When the old Mrs. Ford told her, "I was going to give this pair of bracelets to your mother-in-law. It's a pity she died at such an early age without getting a chance to wear them."Sabrina thought back to how desperately Aunt Grace had wanted to be a part of the Ford Family and immediately packed t
Sabrina turned around to find a vaguely familiar face. The woman was dressed exquisitely and oozed arrogance with every single move she made."I'm sorry, but you are...? Sabrina asked, as she tried to search through her memory for the face in front of her, but she couldn't seem to figure out whose mother was her."Ha! Stop playing games! You have spoken to me a couple of times by now! Your daughter keeps taking toys from my daughter and you came returning it every single time, and now you want to try and pretend like you don't recognize me?"Sabrina finally remembered that the woman before her was the mother of Carol, Aino's classmate. Carol enjoyed giving her toys to Aino as gifts, even when Aino rejected them. The gesture of sharing toys meant nothing more than the fact that the children were learning to share, but Carol's mother insisted that it was Aino who took the toys from other children and claimed it as her own. Carol's mother had reached out to Sabrina twice because of that a
Aino seemed even more confused. "Today's Saturday, daddy isn’t going to work. Even if he does, mommy can play with me. Why are you here?""Your daddy used to be a workaholic, but he changed ever since your mommy came back.""Did he become better?" Aino asked, her head cocked to the side.Kingston shook his head. "No no no, he became one of those handsome wealthy male protagonists in soap operas."Aino's interest was piqued instantly at the mention of "soap opera" and immediately begged Kingston to explain what the term meant."Well, soap opera is kind of like when your daddy and mommy are the only good people in the TV show, especially your daddy, he is very handsome and spoils your mommy rotten. But there are a lot of bad women too, and what they do all day is try to stop your mommy from marrying your daddy. That's soap opera for you," Kingston explained, trying to simplify it as much as possible."I get it now." Aino nodded. She knew that the bad women Kingston spoke of were ones lik
This hotel was particularly extravagant.As soon as Sabrina arrived at the door, she could see that this hotel is definitely not somewhere that ordinary wage earners could frequent, and today's small party was not just as simple as paying fifty thousand dollars. There might be other costs of expenditure.Fortunately, she had the five million dollar compensation fund that Sebastian gave her. In case she needed to fork out extra money, she could still afford to.Sabrina was emboldened and led Aino to the large private room that had been arranged in advance.It was noisy in the large private room."Susan’s mom, your bag is a limited edition, right? It looks so expensive," Carol’s mom complimented Susan's mom loudly."No, my husband bought me this bag from Hong Kong. It's very cheap, it's only slightly more than nine thousand dollars. By the way, your bag is nice too, what brand is it? It looks good. It must be quite expensive, right." Susan's mom was enjoying the superiority of bein
