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

The young woman in the photo was smiling cheerfully, like a sunflower that blossomed in summer. The dimples on her cheeks appeared when she grinned, her porcelain teeth between her plump lips were showing distinctively from the photo. Sabrina was born with monolids and expressive large eyes, so whenever she smiled, her thin lids would give her an impression of an innocent fairy. Sebastian had only seen her smile like she did in the photo once. It had been six years ago when Sabrina once rewarded him with her sweet smile during the limited time they had spent together. In a matter of days, he misunderstood her and thought that she was attempting to harm the Lynn Family and chased her out mercilessly. Since then, he had not seen the same smile on Sabrina's face again.She seemed to be having lunch with her colleagues when the photo was taken, and she was beaming like she didn't have a care in the world. She truly was beautiful, with a certain air of tranquilizing elegance and as natural

Since then, Sebastian had made it a habit to sign with the gold pen for private letters in between them. The gold pen had a smooth and thin finish that was unique, so much so that Alex would be able to notice if the top-secret documents had been forged by someone who tried to imitate Sebastian's signature.Ryan turned back after running off to retrieve his phone, only to find out that Sebastian had reached into his pocket for a gold pen."Uncle Sebastian... please don't scare me like that again, I was this close to getting a heart attack!" He smiled awkwardly.Sebastian did not look at him and remained focused on signing the document. "It's you who gets scared easily. When have I ever played around with you?"Ryan grinned with a nod and asked, "Uncle Sebastian, can I...have my phone back now?""Hang on!""Um...Uncle Sebastian, I...I was just fooling around. I did like Aunt Sabrina, but that was before I knew she was my aunt. Now that I do, I wouldn't dare to think of her in that k

Sean choked and came close to suffocating from Sebastian's words. He took a minute to recover before questioning sharply, "So you are saying that you want to make a public announcement to the entire city with regards to your marriage with Sabrina?""I already did," Sebastian deadpanned."About the wedding date, though, I will pick out another date for that," Sebastian added."Getting married is such an important affair, do you intend on excluding everyone here in the old residence including your grandparents, your stepmother and I?""Didn't I already bring Sabrina back to the old residence half a month ago and inform all of you? Grandmother even gave Sabrina those Chrismatite bracelets, which were supposed to be our family heirloom. You aren't even seventy yet, Father, are you already experiencing dementia?""Why you...!" Sean's voice was cut off for a moment as he struggled to remain calm. "Sure, you did inform close family members, but what about relatives and friends? You are t

Faint as the smile was, it was sufficient to warm the hearts of all employees in the entire Ford Group, especially the women."Hey, did you guys see the post on the official Ford Group social media accounts?""It's impossible not to notice it with all the chaos it stormed up! There hasn't been a new post for the past three years and the first post in such a long time turns out to be a photo of our self-restraining Director, who was never seen with a woman, with his wife. Aw, so sweet. The Director has shown me that when an unromantic chaste man starts showing his affection, all those men who drool over women everyday really cannot begin to compare.""I suddenly realize how much I love the Director!""What do you mean 'suddenly'? Haven't you always been into the Director?""Back then it was just a faint feeling, but right now I feel like I'm falling head over heels for him! I never knew the Director was capable of spoiling someone and now that I do, I...Oh, if only I get to sleep with h

Sabrina looked around her as soon as she caught sight of the man, and as she had expected, the passersby had silently hid away or were simply silenced, their eyes widened in awe at his presence. It was almost as though the man who was leaning against the car lazily was the devil reincarnation himself. Even Yvonne and Ruth were stunned at his unannounced appearance.Once the initial shock had passed, Yvonne gave Sabrina a gentle push. "Um, Mrs. Ford, you...you should go first."Ruth nodded frantically towards Sabrina in agreement.Sabrina bit her lip and started walking towards Sebastian, her fingers laced together nervously."What's wrong? You're upset?" he asked, before opening the car door for her. Behind the two were countless people trying to take a peep at the rare scene, while some simply stood frozen in shock.Sebastian's arm automatically went up to Sabrina's shoulder to pull her closer after opening the car door, and she instantly twisted and shrugged his arm off, before getti

"It's nothing, really," Sabrina smiled gently."I have so much to thank you for, would it be possible for me to treat you to dinner?" the mother asked enthusiastically.Sabrina could never get used to being fawned over, so she simply bowed her head with a smile. When Aino came out of the classroom, she immediately went to take Aino's hand and left shortly after saying goodbye to the mother she was speaking to."Oh my, for a woman who is married to such a wealthy powerful man, she sure is humble," the woman exclaimed."I agree. It wasn't until now that I realized the higher the status someone has, the more humble they tend to be. Just look at Mrs. Ford, she is almost as approachable as the girl-next-door, while those self-absorbed women with much lower status act all high and mighty," another mother responded sarcastically.Not far away from them stood three wealthy women. They would often look down on others but after yesterday's lesson, none dared to utter a word. Wealthy or not, all

"Oh." Sabrina flushed and went back to being silent. She was certain that Sebastian was going to have full power over the arrangement of such an important occasion, she simply needed to make an appearance. Sabrina prided herself over being someone who knew her place and what was required of her, she would remain quiet like the trophy wife everyone expected her to be.She set her cutleries down after finishing her meal and said to Sebastian, "If you don't have anything else to attend to, spend some time with Aino. She hadn't had the chance to play with her father for days. You have been so successful in spoiling her that she doesn't even want to play simple games with me anymore. She apparently prefers spending time on brain teasers with you. I'm going to get some work done while you play with her. There are quite a few blueprints that I need to draw up."Sebastian set his fork down as well and asked curiously, "Do you like your job?""Of course I do!" she responded."To what extent?""
