This was his granddaughter’s nemesis!Meanwhile, looking at the old man sitting in front of her, Sabrina suddenly felt overwhelmed by a sense of compassion. She knew a lot of things, but was not willing to admit it. It was because if everything she knew was really true, there would only be despair left for her in this world. She would rather just deny them. She didn’t need to have any more family in this world anymore, aside from Aino and Zayn.No more!Sabrina sneered. “Old Master Shaw, I congratulate you for finding your true granddaughter after spending so much time and effort.“Since your own daughter is no longer alive, it’s only natural that you feel responsible to keep your granddaughter well-protected. After seeing this, your daughter’s spirit in heaven must be very relieved, right?“Old Master Shaw, I don't mean to intrude, but let me ask, have you ever dreamt of your daughter after so many years? “When you see her in your dreams, do you ever tell her, ‘I’m takin
Thinking that she must have misheard, Selene listened to the phone intently.The salesperson from Sloane repeated her words once again.When she heard it for a second time, Selene started to jump up and down with joy.After putting down the phone, she ran around the house like a madwoman.When she saw Jade, Selene quickly latched on to her and gave her a big kiss. “Mom! Mom! There’s good news! I don’t longer have to wear that simple dress we ordered from “Sloane” anymore. I really didn’t like that dress, but it was Grandpa who had kept insisting that I wear something more low profile. Hahaha, I won’t have to wear it now.”With a concerned look on her face, Jade advised, “Selene, listen to me and your grandpa. It’s best for you to keep a low profile. If you wish to eventually marry Sebastian in the end and win his heart, we have to act more strategically, understand?”Selene shook her head frantically. “Mom, you don’t understand! Just now, the boutique called to say that Sebastian
Meanwhile, Sabrina wasn’t aware of Selene’s ill intentions toward her again. She simply resumed her work with dedication and focus. Seeing her so immersed, none of Sabrina’s colleagues dared to interrupt her to ask about what had happened earlier.It was only after work when her two good friends came to her to ask. “Sabrina, were you not afraid of Old Master Shaw?”Sabrina shook her head casually. “He’s just an old man. What is there to be afraid of? I feel sorry for him instead.”The two good friends didn’t know how to respond to this. “Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you two. Right, have you thought about it? Are you going to attend the Ford family’s banquet or not?” Sabrina asked, changing the subject. Ruth sounded a little hesitant. “Well, I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes…” She didn’t even have a dress to her name.“I’ll buy you a dress!” a voice suddenly said from behind. “Master Ryan?” Ruth turned around and saw Ryan walking towards her.After
For a moment, Ruth didn’t even notice that a woman had walked up to her. Right as her face was about to be slapped, the arm suddenly stopped in midair. It was Sabrina who had intercepted the attack.“Mindy Mann! You have no right to hit your cousin!” Sabrina dropped the woman’s arm and shouted fiercely. Only then did Ruth see that it was her cousin who had cursed at her.In just three short weeks of not seeing Mindy, she had turned extremely thin to the point where it looked like she was all bones.However, Mindy was dressed in the exact same way as before, with her shiny and flamboyant outfit. Though her bank cards were frozen, and she was barred from the Shaw family, the high-end fashion pieces that she had bought over the years could very well still fill up an entire room. For now, Mindy could still look like a dignified lady.Yet, at this moment, even with her luxury fashion pieces, Mindy still looked like a ghost. In addition to being extremely thin, she had two dark
“Seizing by force!“You’re reaping what you didn’t sow“After being so rude, you even had the audacity to blame the victim and try to beat her up! Do you know that you can be imprisoned for assaulting others in public?”“No!” After hearing Sabrina’s words, Mindy, who was shocked, immediately blurted out, “I didn’t reap what I didn’t sow, I was…”Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped talking.After that, Mindy turned around and ran off in a hurry. No one there knew what she was going to say, but chose to ignore her anyway. Sabrina and Yvonne were more concerned about Ruth. Sabrina turned her head and asked, “You’re not harmed, right?”Ruth shook her head slightly, “No. Thank you, Sabrina.”Sabrina punched Ruth playfully while saying, “I really don’t know where your confidence went. Back then, when you tried to pick a fight with me, you weren’t this cowardly at all. She’s still your cousin, right? Yet, you didn’t get mad at all. I, on the other hand, blocked the atta
On the other end of the call, Marcus’s mother answered with a surprised tone. “Marcus, it’s so rare for you to call me over the phone. I know that you’re probably going to say something about Selene not being your cousin, and that it’s supposed to be Sabrina. Marcus, does who it is really matter? It makes no difference, as long as they can comfort your grandpa’s heart.“Selene is doing a good job now, so isn’t that enough?“I know that you feel sympathy towards Sabrina, but she is doing quite well herself now. She’s even married to the most powerful man in South City, so you should be happy for her instead.”Marcus waited for his mother to finish speaking before replying. “Mom, I’m not calling you about Sabrina or Selene. I just wanted to ask you about my aunt and uncle’s death back then. Do you know the details of what happened?”His mom seemed taken aback by his question. “Marcus, why are you asking about this? Are you worried that Mindy doesn’t have enough to live on? If you are
Yvonne lifted her chin proudly. “Hmph! I don’t want to! You and I are equals! Even if I can’t afford a high-end evening dress, I’ll just wear my best friend’s dress. Don’t you forget, she’s extremely wealthy! I’ll visit Sabrina’s house this weekend, and when I’m there, I’ll pick out my favourite dress from her closet. That’s it, I’m going to crush all the other women at the banquet!”“Pfft…” Marcus, who always had a charming demeanor, suddenly let out a peal of donkey-like laughter.When she heard this, Yvonne snorted and asked with great dissatisfaction, “What are you laughing at? Is this funny? You’re clearly laughing at me!”Sabrina began rolling her eyes at Marcus as well, saying, “Yes, Director Shaw, you shouldn’t underestimate our Yvonne. She’s a proper little beauty. Who knows, she might actually end up being the most attractive woman at the banquet!”“That’s right!” Yvonne added haughtily. All of a sudden, Marcus put his smile away, and turned to look at Yvonne seriously.
Sabrina looked at Sebastian with a puzzled expression. “Hmm? What… What do you mean?”Sebastian sighed before repeating himself. “I’ve already told you a few days ago. I want you to invite your best friends over to the house.”His words left Sabrina in a daze. Yes, he was right, he did say that. However, not thinking that he was being serious at the time, Sabrina had turned a deaf ear to his words and did not think much of it afterwards. After a moment, she turned around and looked at Sebastian solemnly. He really had changed drastically. For some reason, he now even felt concerned for her best friends. “You’re acting a bit weird,” Sabrina suddenly remarked.Unlike the day before yesterday, when Sebastian had brought her out to try on the luxury dresses, she didn’t feel afraid to speak her mind at all. Seeing as he didn’t reply her, Sabrina continued to ask, “What happened?”“Nothing!” Despite hearing his brief answer, Sabrina still didn’t believe that nothing was going o
