Chapter 596
The way Selene looked with those filthy old shoes hanging around her neck was truly hideous.Her image as the high and mighty granddaughter of Old Master Shaw, which she had painstakingly maintained for the past six years, was completely destroyed in that instant. As she begged for mercy, Selene was also sweating profusely from the panic that was feeling. For some reason, her sweat-drenched hair that messily hung from her head made her look much like a used-up prostitute, which was in stark contrast to the image that she had tried so hard to preserve before this.At a glance, the Selene now was no different to the women who were shamed by being paraded out in the streets with filthy old shoes around their necks. It wasn’t that they did it voluntarily. All of them had more or less been wronged, and had no choice but to suffer the humiliation. Vulnerable people were always bullied, after all.However, Selene was not similar in this regard. That was because she acted of her own v

However, Old Master Shaw didn’t know that Sebastian was standing right beside Sabrina at that moment. After all, the employee who had taken the photo of Selene and circulated it had felt too scared to include Sebastian in it. He was living proof of the fact that people constantly bullied the weak and feared the powerful. As Selene was pleading for mercy with the shoes hung around her neck, Sebastian sat quietly next to Sabrina and studied the drawings that she was reviewing. Sabrina tried to chase him away. “You…Why are you still here?”Sebastian calmly replied, “Do you think this thing is hanging those filthy old shoes around her neck because she is afraid of you?”To Sebastian, Selene wasn’t even worthy of a human name.She was simply “this thing”.When Selene heard how he had referred to her, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart. Nevertheless, she still knew that she was already incredibly fortunate as Sebastian had not taken her life yet. To keep it that way, Selene

Old Master Shaw’s aged and sorrowful voice sounded from the other end of the call.“Sebastian, I only have one daughter, but I lost her. In the end, I finally found this granddaughter of mine after having faced so many difficulties. “Could it be that you even want to deprive me of her, forcing me to die with hatred at the age of eighty?”Sebastian was taken aback by the sudden outburst.After a pause, he responded calmly, “Old Master, you’ve exaggerating. With me backing you in South City, who would dare lay a finger on your granddaughter? “To put it bluntly, only she can decide what happens to her. If your precious granddaughter chose to do something so undignified herself, there’s no one in this city who can stop her!”This left Old Master Shaw speechless. After all, he knew every single one of his granddaughter’s faults. Pretentious!Arrogant and self-centered.No self-restraint at all!A shrew with no self-respect.Nevertheless, who could he blame for this?If onl

Selene suddenly burst into tears. Like a lunatic, she kept wailing as she ran out of the architecture design firm. Unbeknownst to her, there was a car parked right outside. Marcus and Ryan were sitting inside, watching Selene. “Your cousin ran out crying with those filthy old shoes hanging around her neck, haha!” Ryan teased Marcus.“What, she’s your cousin!” Marcus had never once acknowledged Selene as his own relative after all.“She’s your cousin! Damn, if I had a cousin with such a hideous face that believes she’s some divine beauty, I’d surely die of disgust. Marcus, you shouldn’t make me feel repulsed like this,” Ryan said with a serious tone. Not paying any mind to his remarks, Marcus asked, “Say, Ryan! Did you have nothing better to do than to offend Sebastian?”Ryan replied with a smile, “Do you know why Uncle Sebastian left the Ford Group’s upper management meeting so abruptly yesterday, putting aside all the contracts he was supposed to sign? It was because he s

Ryan turned to look at Marcus with an annoyed expression. “Shut up! I’m trying talk to my staff member.”After that, without regard for the receptionist’s earnest admiration, he immediately changed his tone and said, “Girl, let me tell you this. If you ever think about such nonsense again at work, I’ll definitely fire you! From now on, do your job well. Don’t fill your head with romance and whatnot!”The receptionist responded meekly, “Yes, Director Poole.”When he saw Ryan hanging up the phone, Marcus started to ask again, “Are you still going to compete with your Uncle Sebastian then?”The flustered Ryan replied, “Get out of here!”“This is my car!” Marcus snapped back.The fact that he was right left Ryan speechless.After a few seconds, he declared with his teeth clenched, “I, the little young master of Poole family, will reluctantly sit in your car!”Though Marcus did not know how to react himself, the two of them decided not to bring up anything else related to getting o

Finally, the domineering director left. Nevertheless, Sabrina still felt indifferent about it. Regardless of whether Sebastian was here or not, she still worked as usual. After all, they ate together every day and slept together every night at home, so naturally, she didn’t feel afraid of him anymore. “Take care,” she said to Sebastian, while putting down the drawings in her hand.“Your tea will get cold. Remember to drink it,” reminded Sebastian. “Mmm.”“Also, remember to get up and walk after every half an hour. Otherwise, it won’t be good for your cervical spine,” Sebastian said again. “Mmm.”Her passive replies left Sebastian completely speechless.He really wanted to ask her, “Why is it that you can smile so brightly when you’re with your girlfriends, but have so few words to say when it comes to your husband?”However, he realised that if he did ask that, others could suspect that he was even jealous of women. As such, Sebastian thought it would be best if he kept

Sebastian did not even look at Ryan. However, that only made Ryan all the more fearful, to the point where he started to break out in cold sweat.Why was he back here again?Uncle Sebastian!Hades!‘What…You should not fool people like this. Weren’t you leaving already? Why are you back here again? Are you… Are you really that inseparable from your wife?’Despite his horrified expression, Ryan managed to force a smile and greeted him, “Uncle Sebastian?”“You are just like Selene,” Sebastian remarked calmly.Ryan quickly replied, “What… What did you say? The Selene that left here so shamelessly just now, with the filthy old shoes hung around her neck? Uncle Sebastian, how can you compare me to her?”He did not want to live anymore. “Uncle Sebastian, I… I am not here to see… to see Aunt Sabrina,” Ryan tried to explain, but his nervousness gave his true intentions away.“I am not here to see her either,” Sebastian said casually. It really hadn’t been part of his plan to catch

With rosy cheeks, Yvonne agreed, “Alright, Director Shaw.”As she watched this, Sabrina was completely speechless. What kind of person would forget her friend just like that after being smitten by love? Nevertheless, it made her feel relieved as well. After all, she knew what kind of person Marcus was. Although Sabrina did not like Old Master Shaw, she had to admit that his grandson was a very decent character, and had never fooled around with women. In fact, she could even say that Marcus was much more dependable than Nigel and Ryan when it came to romantic relationships.As such, if Yvonne could marry Marcus, it would be a happy ending for her. With this in mind, Sabrina started to smile when she watched the four of them walk off. “Your two best friends?” Sebastian suddenly asked.Sabrina turned to him and replied, “Not really best friends. Just acquaintances from work. Both of them have been quite kind to me, especially Ruth. She’s a very nice person.”Sabrina concealed
