Chapter 56
Meanwhile, Sabrina could not find peace within her at all. She knew that she was stuck in the middle of a whirlpool with danger lurking at every corner. The members of the Lynn Family would do everything in their power to make sure she suffered. She was aware that Nigel considered his kindness to her as mere charity. She ultimately knew that the reason Sebastian kept her around despite finding out about her pregnancy was simply for his mother's sake. She was another lowly woman who had no one to depend on in this society. She could only remind herself to be cautious, over and over again. She went straight into her bedroom as soon as she entered Sebastian's house and refused to step out, not even for food, when in truth, she was starving.She waited until eleven at night before finally coming out with a basin. She assumed Sebastian and Selene would not be in the living room and headed towards the bathroom to get some hot water for a bath, and to her surprise, she found Sebastian si

Sabrina did not register the woman before her as Mindy, but she instantly recognized Marcus."Excuse me," she said politely, as the two were blocking her way to the counter. She slid by them and walked towards the counter."Excuse me, I've received a couple of calls from Master Tong and I...I am here to return the camera...the cost of it, I mean.""May I know how to address you ma'am?" The lady at the cashier asked."Ms. Sabrina. I rented a digital camera that was worth $1,500 USD from you four days ago, and I am here today to return it...the cost of it," Sabrina repeated."Ms. Sabrina!" The lady seemed delighted to see her and responded, "please bear with me a moment. Our boss has been looking everywhere for you."Sabrina watched in silence. Her stomach sank as she knew that she was three days late and was worried the boss would accuse her of breaching the terms.‘It should be fine, I have $3,000 USD with me right now. This had to be enough to pay them back.’ The thought of

If the camera was not lost, she no longer needed the money she borrowed from Nigel."So...I didn't have to pay?" Sabrina asked cheerfully."Not even the rental fee," said Master Tong."Thank, thank you, thank you so much. I...I would get going then?" Sabrina reconfirmed in relief."Yes, of course, Miss Scott."Sabrina sighed a long breath of relief and walked out of the Leasing Center feeling like all troubles were behind her."Miss Scott, if I could borrow a minute of your time," Marcus called out from behind her. He instantly realized that Sabrina had asked to borrow $2,000 USD from him back at the banquet to compensate for a lost camera, and $2,000 USD could not even compare to what Marcus spent for a single meal."What did you need, Mr. Shaw?" Sabrina asked."Do you still need the money?" Marcus asked, struggling as to where he should start to explain himself."As you could see, I...no longer need it," Sabrina smiled gently."I had thought that you were one of those young

From Sebastian's point of view, she was simply playing hard to get with Marcus and the thought had him scowling wordlessly."Master Shaw..." Kingston exclaimed, "Master Shaw comes from a very strict background. The old Master of the Shaw Family would never allowed him to be involved in any scandal.” “Besides, Master Shaw was very disciplined himself as well, how did..." Kingston looked over to Sebastian and immediately stopped himself from continuing. He meant to say that Sabrina was too resourceful to have not only successfully bound herself to Master Sebastian, but somehow managed to have flings with Master Nigel and with a self-disciplined elite such as Master Shaw. She was far from an ordinary woman. However, he refrained from commenting further upon seeing the viciousness on Sebastian's face.Meanwhile, both Sabrina and Marcus were unaware that Sebastian witnessed every detail of their interaction from his car parked not far away."Mr. Shaw, please leave me alone!" She dema

Her son had visited her at noon and had brought her all sorts of nutritious delicacies for lunch, which she was fed up with at this point. She craved nothing more than a normal home-cooked meal, and today, her wish came true."My daughter-in-law is the sweetest," Grace praised sincerely."If you really like it this much, I am more than willing to bring you lunch every day. With that small side income I got, it should be enough to keep both of us fed," Sabrina smiled joyfully from her heart, feeling as lucky as though she came across the money on the road."Let me tell you a little secret. I couldn’t care for the dishes made by famous cooks that my son has been bringing me. I'd rather have what you brought me. I'm going to forbid Sebastian from ever bringing me lunch, and I would only be eating food brought to me by my sweet Sabbie!" Grace picked fun at her son in front of Sabrina playfully."Deal!" Sabrina raised her hand to high-five with Grace, and the two laughed cheerfully. Non

"What do you want?" Sabrina's tone remained composed and distant."Don't you think that you are good-for-nothing, Sabrina? I kidnapped you and almost had you killed. Master Sebastian might have gotten you out, but he didn't have the heart to punish me even when he knew that I was behind it. Up until now I am still unscathed, what a loser of a wife you are!" Selene vented in frustration arrogantly."Keep harassing me on the phone and I will tell Master Sebastian's mother about this. So the next time when she comes looking for you and your mother, it won't be to get your mother to just slap you, but to completely destroy that face of yours. I look forward to finding out how you could marry Sebastian with a ruined face!""Why you..." Selene was at complete loss of words from the fierceness in Sabrina's tone. She paused for a few moments before sneering mysteriously and continued, "Just you wait, Sabrina. Soon a grand show will be made out of you for all to see!""What do you mean?" Sa

Burning the midnight oil to design drafts was Sabrina's favorite hobby and was also the major she had studied in university. Her encounter with Aunt Grace in prison had been most fruitful as Aunt Grace was a professional in architecture; the two clicked right off the bat with most of their conversations focusing on the subject. Aunt Grace was experienced in the field and had taught Sabrina much within the two years they spent together in prison, which was the reason why Sabrina managed to enrich her knowledge on the field despite being in prison.She completed the drafts of her proposal by herself in three days, utilizing the time she had after work. What set her apart was that she had drafted the designs by hand, as she didn't have access to a computer. In the bedroom that was hardly spacious to begin with, crumbled papers of her drafts began to surround her feet as the night went by.The next day, she woke up late as she had overslept and rushed out to work, forgetting to close the

"Please get out of the way!" Sabrina demanded in disgust, not bothering to cast a look at the woman in front of her. She never liked girls from wealthy backgrounds, always sticking their noses to where they didn't belong. Mindy blocked Sabrina's way and continued to ask, "You are in desperate need of money?""Mind your own business!" Sabrina retorted."I know you are just another girl who wants to climb your way to the top but has no clue how you could go about doing that. Choosing to be one of the waitresses at the banquet that the Ford family held for the purpose of finding Master Sebastian a wife, and using that as a stepping stone was quite ambitious. Unfortunately, you only ended up being used by Sebastian."Sabrina had no intention of wasting her time with this woman and wanted nothing more than to leave with all the food she had bought, but was helpless with Mindy blocking her way at the entrance."You have good taste," Mindy carried on, "to have picked out my cousin Marcu
