Marcus shrugged his shoulders and said gently, “You may go out and have a look.”Seeing his slightly mysterious look, perhaps he had something too difficult to mention. However, she saw that Marcus’ expression was very relaxed, so Sabrina knew the person who came this time should not be a bad person.The person at least had the courtesy and knew to wait outside of the company. When Sabrina came out of the company, she saw Nigel standing not far away. “It was you?” It had been three weeks since Sabrina came out of the small banquet hall where she was humiliated and had not seen Nigel once. Nigel’s expression was even harder to read compared to three weeks ago. “Sabrina, are you alright?”Sabrina smiled and nodded. “Quite well. I had not been able to see you, and I haven't thanked you. Thank you for courageously saving me that day in the banquet hall.”Hearing Sabrina thanking himself, Nigel felt relieved for a moment. He then asked with difficulty, “Would you… treat me as a
“You’re protective of him so soon” Nigel teased her.Sabrina smiled, and her smile was very sweet.It was like a little girl who was ignorant of worldly affairs.“You may go back to work. I’m going back.” Nigel bid farewell to Sabrina. Sabrina nodded. She turned around and went back to the company. When she entered the elevator, Sabrina saw Ruth and Ryan who were standing outside the elevator and had not entered yet.At this moment, Ruth had returned to her inferior self as she had been in the past few days. “I’m sorry, Master Ryan. Earlier, I… Earlier, I embarrassed myself in front of you. You knew that I didn’t have great mannerisms. I grew up living in the lower class, so I had gotten used to being shrewish. If you thought the way I treated Selene earlier was too shrewish and my manners were too bad, I could not be your female companion. In short, I was quite a shrewish person,” said Ruth extremely honestly. When she was pretentious and arrogant in the past, she had alwa
Mindy had an equal amount of disappointment and annoyance as the amount of happiness she had when she came out. She glared at Nigel. “Were you helping a woman who was like a maid? Ruth only had the existence of a maid in front of me! She was a maid! Did you ask me to get out because of her?”Nigel did not feel anything when he saw Mindy cry. All he had for Mindy was disgust. “It did not matter whether she was a maid or your cousin. In any case, you hogged her territory. She has not been able to return home because of your existence, so please move out.”“Who were you to evict me? Also, who were you to Ruth?” questioned Mindy.“I was nobody to Ruth. Sabrina only asked me. Since everyone in the entire South City knew that you were my fiancée, even if that was fake, I still would not let you do this kind of thing where you reaped what you did not sow!” Nigel said extremely sternly.When she heard Nigel say that, Mindy immediately had a glimmer of hope. “Then you tell me. Where shoul
“You should say it!”Mrs. Mann gritted her teeth in anger after hearing Mindy say that. “That shameless thing! Watch me tear Ruth’s mouth apart tomorrow!”Mr. Mann said fiercely, “I would go with you tomorrow, and we would seek justice for Mindy!”Ruth’s parents kept to their word. They initially wanted to call Ruth at night and asked her to come back. However, when they took their phone out, they remembered that Ruth’s phone had been in the house all this while. Ruth did not have a phone. The next day. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mann came to the entrance of the architectural design firm together. They were waiting for Ruth at the company intentionally to give her a beating at the company's entrance. However, they did not expect that Ruth had been picked up by Ryan again yesterday afternoon. He said that the custom-made dress for Ruth was ready, so she was asked to go try it on. Ruth had already tried it on, but it was too late to try it on a second time due to tight time constrain
When Mrs. Mann turned around and looked, it was unexpectedly Marcus. Mrs. Mann immediately put on a smile and called out, “Mindy’s cousin, look, Mindy has realized her mistakes now. She had been punished enough. She even lost weight all over. Could you talk to Master Sebastian and ask him to stop punishing her?” Marcus looked at Mrs. Mann coldly, “Mrs. Mann, you still hadn’t answered my question.” Mrs. Mann said, “You…What did you say just now?” Marcus asked again, “I said, do you still remember your daughter’s birthday?” Mrs. Mann said without thinking, “Of course I remember, it’s December…” She stopped halfway through her sentence. After a pause, she then changed her words and said, “It was the sixth of June.” Marcus sneered. Mrs. Mann asked sheepishly, “Master Shaw, why did you ask this for? My daughter had a father and mother to take care of her. She was living a good life, so you didn’t need to worry about her. You should worry about your cousin, Mindy instead.
Mrs. Mann immediately said subserviently, “Old master, Mindy’s bank card had been frozen. Sebastian froze it, and he forbade Mindy to return and stay with the Shaw family. He also forbade Mindy’s aunt, who was your daughter-in-law, to support Mindy financially. In this case, how could Mindy, a lady who grew up being pampered, live now?”Old Master Shaw said with slight guilt, “Mindy grew up in the Shaw family from a young age. I had also taken her as my granddaughter. It was because I had been sick recently, so I had been in Kidon City. I was busy with Selene’s matters after returning from Kidon City, and I had forgotten about Mindy.”Old Master Shaw was still a reasonable elder, especially when it came to treating children. When it came to the children of his relatives, he was able to give his share of care to them. When they heard Old Master Shaw say that, Mr. and Mrs. Mann looked at each other with a smile. “It went like this, Old Master Shaw. Master Sebastian was egged on by
Getting rid of Sabrina was one of the biggest wishes for Old Master Shaw, who was over 80-years-old.Although Old Master Shaw did not hate Sabrina as much now and even felt that Sabrina had integrity, was strong, and was much better than Selene, he still could not keep Sabrina because of his selfishness. Old Master Shaw had already planned to use all of his connections in Kidon City and all of his old subordinates that could benefit Sebastian to occupy the island city as the term of exchange for Sebastian marrying Selene. This was truly a tempting term.Sebastian was also a person who did extraordinary things. However, if he could get rid of Sabrina and without Sabrina as an obstacle, Sebastian could marry anyone else.Why would he not marry Selene if Selene could be of big help to him?This was Old Master Sebastian’s idea.He told this idea to the Ford family’s old master, Henry. Henry also had the same idea. The two old men hit it off immediately. After he finished t
“Pfft!”“He could have a woman anytime, and he could change to any kind that he wanted!”“However, that island was the only one.”“My Grandpa Shaw might be able to be of big help to conquer that island!”“Therefore, Sebastian would definitely dump you! He would definitely marry Selene!”“When the time comes, Selene and I would join hands and send you to the deepest ends of hell!”“Hmph!”“Just wait and see!”Mindy had such great dreams throughout the night.She imagined that she could shine brilliantly at the Ford family’s banquet. There was only one day left before the Ford family’s family banquet, and many people had different thoughts in mind. The hosts of the banquet, Sabrina and Sebastian, have been calm and composed instead. Both of them respectively went to work and got off work according to their work routines.When Sabrina left work on Friday, she deliberately checked with her two best friends again, “Have the two of you chosen your dresses?”Ruth and Mindy both
