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

However, she also knew that there was about an 80 per cent chance that Sebastian would say no. To her surprise, he actually agreed and even said to the little girl, “Aino, follow Daddy up first. Mommy wants to talk to Uncle Kingston for a while.”With a spring in her step, Aino immediately walked upstairs with Sebastian. Meanwhile, Sabrina could only stare dumbfoundedly at the backs of the father and daughter.Seeing as the madam wasn’t saying anything, Kingston quickly asked her with a big smile, “Madam, do you remember what I told you six years ago?”Coming back to her senses, Sabrina asked, “Hmm?”Kingston continued, “I’ve once told you that Master Sebastian is actually a very warm person. It’s because of the horrible experiences he had in the past that made him cold-blooded and ruthless. However, that’s not his true self at all. Beneath his aloof facade, he’s a good husband and father.”Sabrina lowered her head with a faint smile. To say that she hadn’t felt Sebastian be

When she saw how shocked Kingston looked, Sabrina instantly realised that she had been falsely accusing Sebastian for so many years. Back then, the people who had tried to exterminate both her and Zayn used Sebastian’s name as a disguise.If not him, then the people who had resented Sabrina the most….“The Lynn family!”“It’s the Lynn family! Madam, it must be the Lynn family’s doing!”Sabrina and Kingston both said it at the same time. Though their words were similar, Sabrina’s tone was calm, while Kingston sounded extremely furious. “Madam, if you need me to do anything for you, just let me know. The same goes for Yvonne. I’ve watched her grow up after all, and I can assure you that she doesn't bear any ill will against you. Madam, you can keep her around all you want. In the case of an emergency, she can at least be someone of help to you,” Kingston said earnestly. “I know. Yvonne is a good person. She’s my best friend too. Thank you, Assistant Yates, for introducing me

“Say something! Does it look good or not?” Sabrina asked playfully, as if they were an old married couple.Aino’s small little eyes looked very dissatisfied as she glared at Sebastian. “Dad isn’t complimenting us, which means it doesn’t look good.”Sabrina tugged on Aino’s arm. “Your dad is a man. He doesn’t understand this sort of thing well.”Sebastian, who had been lost in thought, immediately came to his senses and replied, “I think you two look very good in this outfit.”Aino was the first to react. With a bright smile, she exclaimed, “Yay! I knew Dad would like it. This mother-daughter outfit is my favourite.”Sabrina smiled too. “Mmm, I think it would look even better if the three of us were to wear this matching outfit, don’t you think so Sebastian?”She had called him Sebastian.This was the first time she had referred to him by his name like this. Once again, Sebastian was overwhelmed by a feeling of warmth in his heart.It was rare for him to feel such emotions at

The man sat up abruptly in shock.At that moment, he realized that the reason Sabrina was acting so abnormally today was because she planned to divorce him.“No!” the man retorted with a cold expression.Sabrina tried to explain herself, “I already know that it wasn't you who sent those hitmen after me. Instead, you spent the last six years trying to look for Aino and I. “As such, it’s my fault that you lost out on precious time.“I heard that you had planned to take over that island city in the southeast region but was forced to delay it for six whole years because of me. “The enemies who harmed Aunt Grace, no, I mean Mom, and killed her entire family are still there, right?”Sebastian had never expected that Sabrina would know so much of his conquest. He had made it a habit not to speak about it in front of her, as he did not wish for Sabrina to get involved in bloodshed.“Was it Kingston who told you about it earlier this evening? You said you had to discuss something ab

That was not accurate.She should be called a tough girl!Was that not right either?Sebastian could not find the adjectives to describe her for a moment.“Sleep!” Sebastian put one arm around Sabrina and raised the other arm to turn off the wall lamp.Sabrina still wanted to have a chat for a little while, but he blocked her lips.He forced her easily. After half an hour, Sabrina finally fell asleep. The following day.Two out of the family of three woke up very late.Aino became more considerate. She sensibly had her milk and sandwich alone in the dining room. When she heard that the maids’ footsteps were loud as they walked, Aino would remind them.“Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna, you had to walk a little quieter. My mom and dad were still sleeping, and I want a younger sibling. Let them sleep a while more,” Aino patiently discussed with the maids.The two maids smiled heartily. That morning was the first time Sabrina was late for work. However, since she had always been
