On the other end, Yvonne stammered slightly. “Sab…uhm, Mrs. Ford, sor…sorry, I didn’t know you were Mrs. Ford, so I was quite rude to you. Please…please forgive me.”Sabrina groaned. “Yvonne! Why are you stammering!”Yvonne didn’t reply. That’s because she was terrified! She was Sebastian Ford’s wife, and yet she hid her identity. Yvonne always found her pitiful and pitied her, but in actuality, she was the biggest boss!Sabrina sighed. “Yvonne, I’ve known you for more than a month and I’ve never seen you stammer. If you don’t tell me why you’re suddenly all awkward, I’ll come upstairs and visit you right now.”Yvonne said in a panic, “Don’t come up! I’m very, very busy, bye!”With that, Yvonne ended the call. Sabrina felt slightly guilty. She really liked Yvonne. She wasn’t like everyone else, good at talking and socializing. Since she was young, she appreciated every single friend she made, just like how she appreciated Nigel. She decided to finish her work and pay a visit to

She just disliked people like her. She didn’t like her, so she didn’t care what she thought. Even though Lina’s expression looked extremely awkward, Sabrina was at ease. She divided some of her workload and handed it to Linda. “This is your workload for this week. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can discuss it with me.”Lina was dumbfounded. Sabrina had already turned and walked out of the office. The minute she stepped out of the door, the atmosphere in the office exploded. Lina’s expression was sad and distraught. “Mrs. Ford, she’s…is she holding a grudge against me?”“Sabrina isn’t someone like that!” Andrew said.Lina asked, “Then why wouldn’t she drink the coffee I gave her?”Another male colleague, Xavier Johnson sneered. “Why should she drink your coffee?”York Devon chortled. “Are there flowers in your coffee?”Andrew was the youngest intern, so he was particularly straightforward. “Lina, you don’t know what kind of person Sabrina is. She’s very simple and hones

Having not seen her for a week, Ruth Mann had lost so much weight she looked like a different person. Sabrina didn’t have much affection for Ruth, so when she saw her looking all pitiful, she didn’t feel much surprise or sympathy. However, Yvonne rushed over and hugged Ruth’s arm. “Ruth, what happened? I haven’t seen you for two days, you look like you’ve lost ten pounds!”“I’m fine,” Ruth mumbled.Yvonne asked again, “Why are you here?”Ruth blinked and a glob of eye discharge dropped out of her eye, it seemed like she hadn’t been sleeping well. She wiped her face messily. “Yvonne, could you lend me a hundred dollars? I haven’t eaten in two days.”“Huh?” Yvonne looked at Ruth in shock. “What happened? Why don’t you eat at home? What about your parents? Aren’t they home?”Ruth answered bitterly, “They chased me out.”Yvonne was shocked. “Why?”Ruth bit her lip. “Because…”She glanced at Sabrina then stopped talking. She bowed to Sabrina respectfully, “Mrs. Ford…hello.”Sabrina

Ruth followed Yvonne and Sabrina, her self-esteem lower than ever before. Yvonne wanted to eat the buffet that cost a thousand dollars per person, and Sabrina really brought the both of them there.The restaurant was huge. There were so many choices that she didn’t know where to begin. The choices were luxurious, they served truffle, caviar, bluefin tuna. For the cheaper choices, there were fish roe, beef, and such. Yvonne and Ruth were stunned. Sabrina remained calm. She didn’t know much about food, she was happy as long as the food could fill her stomach so she didn’t have much desire for luxurious restaurants like these. But seeing Yvonne and Ruth picking their food excitedly, Sabrina was delighted. She never had many friends, nor was she good at making friends. But she craved friendship and she was always sincere to others. Just like right now, as long as Yvonne and Ruth were happy, it was worth it no matter how much she had to pay.When Ruth and Yvonne had chosen their dishes a

Ruth rubbed the little metal box with her hand and explained, her tone once again respectful. “Uhm, don’t think that this metal box looks old and dusty, but its contents are great. It’s…the oil made from baby mice.”Yvonne was shocked. “What…huh?”Sabrina was stunned too.Ruth gulped down a big spoonful of mushroom soup, chewing as she explained. “It’s made from baby nice, newly born ones, those that don’t even have fur yet. You soak them in oil for a few months, then filter the oil out.”Yvonne was confused. “What is this for? Say, Ruth, don’t tell me you eat such weird food! Most people put salt and pepper in their food, and you put oil made from baby mice!”Even if Yvonne said such words to her, Ruth didn’t grow angry. She didn’t have many friends either. The noble socialites like her cousin only saw her as a dog. But then in the past, Ruth didn’t take normal, everyday people like Yvonne seriously, so she never had any friends. Until yesterday, when her parents chased her out o

Sabrina laughed happily, proud of herself, revealing two dimples on her cheeks. “Hah, I do all kinds of things!”Yvonne was even more interested. “Tell us, tell us, what else do you do?”“Hmm…” Sabrina cocked her head to the side and thought for a moment, then said with a pleased expression on her face, like a little girl. “For example, when you’re out with your boyfriend, and your hands are all dirty from the food you ate but you don’t have any tissues, what should you do? You could just carelessly slip your hand into your jeans pocket and wipe off the dirt on the inner cloth of your pocket. Also, when you’re out shopping with your friend and you’re sweaty all over, then your crush calls you and says he’ll be here in five minutes, again, you have nothing to wipe off your sweat with, what do you do? Lift up the lining of your skirt and wipe your sweat off. These are all my little life hacks. No, silly tricks!”Yvonne and Ruth laughed out loud. At that moment, she suddenly realized S

Ryan didn’t pay him much attention. “I’m just taking a few photos, don’t worry! I’m not afraid of Master Sebastian.”“You’re not afraid, but I am! Sabrina is! I don’t want Master Sebastian to have any misunderstanding toward her, her life is finally improving now! Stop it, stop taking photos!” Marcus scolded.Ryan shrugged. “Ha! I already secretly took a couple before you stopped me. Marcus, you’re too righteous.”Marcus fumed. Ryan muttered as he continued taking photos. “All three of the girls are quite pretty. Why haven’t I noticed them before? Every time I came here, Ruth disgusted me, she’s nothing but a country bumpkin, and yet she insists on acting all high and mighty. But now look at her! Now that she’s with Sabrina, she looks prettier and cuter.”Marcus scoffed. “That’s because you’re judging her before you even know her. Ruth isn’t very fashionable and slightly silly, even a little cold on the surface, but her features have always been pretty. I noticed this a long time a

He lifted his eyes and looked at the tall skyscraper, it was a landmark of South City. Six years ago, before Sebastian successfully controlled the building, who would’ve thought an exiled illegitimate child could cause an overnight switch in power?Six years ago, the illegitimate child who was once exiled and suffered outside, was now leading the Ford Group to rise to the top in South City, its net-worth increasing several times over. It could even be called the top in the whole country. Now, Sebastian was rich enough that he could buy an island in the southeast, that was a thousand square kilometers wide. The island was not well-developed, with primitive indigenous people, cities, industry, agriculture, and those in power there. But this only increased Sebastian’s desire to conquer it.Recently, he had been planning this takeover. And today, the document that Ryan gave him was related to this plan. Whoever delivered such highly-secret documents, Sebastian would be worried about it l
