It truly was a wonder to anyone how the eighty years old man could withstand so much. What most people were not aware of was that the old Master Shaw had always been fit as a fiddle since he was young. During his hospitalization in Kidon City, Sebastian had consulted with the doctor regarding his condition and was informed that the old man was healthy. He did it all for his granddaughter. He insisted on taking his granddaughter with him to Kidon City in fear that she might be exposed to Sebastian's cruelty."My grandson is right here in the Ford Residence. Why would you need my permission to release him if you really want to?" the old Master Shaw responded sheepishly to Sebastian's question."That's right," Sebastian chuckled and commanded the butler. "Go! Release the young Master Shaw!"The butler nodded frantically in response. "Ye-yes, Master Sebastian! I'll have it done right away!""Hang on!" Sebastian barked.Frightened , the butler turned back hesitantly. "Master Sebastian?"
Sabrina did not waver at the old Master Shaw's ferocious roar. She simply looked at him calmly with sorrow beyond deion in her voice as she responded, "So I'm guessing that the old Master Shaw has something on me, then? You wouldn't have the nerves to be this forceful otherwise, would you?""And I am guessing you already know what I have on you?" he deadpanned."No, I don't, actually."What could he possibly do to hurt her? What a joke! Even if he claimed to have proof, it could only be fabricated. It wasn't the first thing someone tried to frame her for something she didn't do, it happened so often that Sabrina had gotten used to it. Quoting a famous movie star, 'all pain is tolerable when it becomes a habit'. Indeed, pain had become her constant companion."Sabrina Scott, you vixen! I'll have to admit that you are resourceful! Not only did you enslave the hearts of Nigel Conor and my Marcus, you were the reason why that Smith boy went missing! Apart from that, you managed to craw
In the end, she had fallen in love with him, and he had broken her into pieces. She became a single mother and was constantly running from danger throughout the six years, until he had found her. She had lost the courage to love. She sealed her heart away and thought that she would never love another again. She couldn't bear the possibility of getting hurt again. Still, she fell in love with the same man all over again, to the point that there was no denying."I do!" Sabrina said decisively. Sebastian stared at her."If you love him, why would you sell the extremely valuable bracelet that his mother gave you?" Old Master Henry challenged.The bracelet Grace owned originated from the Ford Family as well. They had felt that they failed her and gave her the emerald bracelet. Grace must have genuinely considered Sabrina as her daughter-in-law to have given her something so precious. And did Sabrina treasure the bracelet as it should have been? If she truly loved Sebastian, why wasn't sh
Tears were streaming down Sabrina's cheeks as her expression slowly became stern. With the sky-blue dress she wore and the crystal shoes on her feet, she looked like a fairy that was out of this world. She swallowed before explaining with a hoarse voice, "Back when Aunt Grace only had a month left to live, there was a family banquet here at the Ford Residence for you to select a woman of high status as your wife from the invited guests. Aunt Grace had wanted desperately to attend the banquet and see the Residence with her own eyes. It had been her biggest dream to move into the Ford Residence, even for just a day. She once said that she could die happy if only the Ford Family acknowledged her as one of them to the public. Aunt Grace knew that she was bound to her sick bed and would not be able to attend the banquet, so she begged me to take a few pictures of the Ford Residence to show her. But I had forgotten to bring the camera with me that day. I never got to fulfill her request, and
Back when they were living in Ciarrai County, she had fought with countless children her age despite being smaller in size than most of them. She had instilled fear in the hearts of many, boys and girls, and had plenty of experience in fighting. Aino raised her arm as she spoke and the beautifully crafted slingshot she was holding came into sight. She lifted the slingshot high in the air and placed a bullet-like item onto it, before gritting her teeth and firing fiercely."Aino!" Sabrina screamed. She couldn't tell who Aino was aiming at. What would happen if she accidentally hurt someone? The next second, she saw a splash of water on Selene's face.The water combined with the mess that was already on Selene's face and made it messier than ever. Unknowingly, she thought that she had been hit by something lethal and wailed, "Don't hit me, don't kill me!""Hmph!" Aino snorted smugly. "What a scaredy-cat!"The slingshot was a gift from her Uncle Kingston. Instead of rocks, which could
Sabrina called out immediately, but Aino had already fired with her slingshot. Although it looked like she was aiming for the old Master Shaw, she changed her target at the very last moment to fire towards her own great-grandfather Henry. The capsule hit its target perfectly, causing a splash on old Master Henry as well. Luckily, Aino had used the capsule filled with sugary water this time. The old Master licked the water dripping from his face and realized that it was sweet. He looked over at Aino to find the little girl glaring back with her hands propped on her hip."You cranky old man, you bullied my mommy! I am never calling you great-grandpa or play with you anymore! I'm going to hit you with this slingshot until you cry every time I see you from now on! Hmph!""Oh my..." Old Master Henry was not at all offended by his great-granddaughter's ruthless prank. Instead, he chuckled and started to slowly walk towards Aino with his hunched back and trembling feet. "Aino, my precious l
After a few moments of silence, she finally found her voice and said, "You...there's no need for that. You aren't young anymore, you should take care of yourself."She caved in to her own soft-hearted nature. She was never a forceful or arrogant person to begin with, not to mention when dealing with Sebastian's family.Sabrina gazed up at Sebastian and he immediately got the message. "Grandpa, take a seat first. It's straining for you to be standing for so long."Henry obediently returned to his seat. His wife almost immediately started jabbing him with her crouches, but he did not attempt to resist, knowing that he deserved it. When she was finally done with punishing her husband, the old Madam Ford called the still furious Aino over and said, "Aino, come here to your great-grandmother. Let me tell you, I would never bully your mommy. Quite the opposite, actually, because your great-grandmother is the one who loves your mommy most. See? I've helped punish your great-grandfather."
Lincoln gaped at Sabrina and realized that the smile had faded from her face, leaving only the pure, silent hatred oozing from within her soul."Sa-" He struggled to say something but couldn't seem to find his voice."That's right, you remember correctly. I'm Sabrina, Sabrina Scott, not Sabrina Lynn," Sabrina interrupted.Lincoln's heart sank at the unspoken words of what Sabrina truly meant to say. "That's not- I...But still I-" he stuttered, but was once again intercepted by Sabrina before he could finish."But still you had raised me for eight years? Be honest, Mr. Lynn, did you really? For the eight years I lived under your roof, never once have you given me any love or concern apart from what little you gave me as living allowances. I have not received a dollar from you ever since I went to college. Besides, I believe I've made it even by taking your daughter's place in prison, don't you think so?"Selene wanted to argue, but soon realized that her life was hanging by a threa
