The old man was drained of all his energy after yesterday’s humiliation. He lay on his bed, looking as if he was at the end of his life.“Grandpa…” Selene called out carefully. Old Master Shaw turned his head to the other side.Selene murmured quietly. “My mother was particularly thin when she gave birth to me. I heard from my dad that we were very poor at that time. My mum always begged for food even after she met my dad. At that time, my dad had just graduated from university with no stable income or even a place to live. They didn’t know when their next meal would be, but still, my dad always saved food for my mom and perhaps that was why they got together. Soon afterward, they had me. However, due to malnutrition, my mum was very skinny and had a hard time giving birth. She lost a lot of blood and passed away after giving birth to me. Back then, the doctor told my dad that she could be saved if she was healthier and had more strength…”Old Master Shaw started crying after hearin
Sabrina, on the other hand, was oblivious about the whole situation. Sabrina did intend to take revenge on the Lynn family. However, she was not that cruel that she would want them dead. She had a happy life with Sebastian now, and they might even have more kids in addition to Aino. She did not want the hatred to grow inside her with all these wonderful things to look forward to. She believed in karma and karma will come to them when it is time.The Lynn family started to plot against her since she went into jail eight years ago. And look where that had led them to now? Eventually, she was the one who enjoyed the fruits that they sowed. If it was not because of them, she would not have been imprisoned and met Aunt Grace. If Lincoln had not sent her to accompany a dying man, she would not have Sebastian’s baby. Everything seemed to be destined.In the end, the Lynn family spent eight years and got nothing in return. Whereas for her, she had a job, a husband, and a child. How much more
He had such a loving look in his eyes, as if intoxicated by the sight of her.Sabrina could not help but stare at the photo in a daze, reluctant to take her eyes off of it.“Sabrina! Sabrina!” Yvonne called out from the other end of the call.“Okay, okay, okay,” Sabrina replied immediately.Yvonne continued, “Come out right now! Bring Aino, Ruth and I along, you’ll have to pay for the three of us!”“Yes, Ma’am!” Sabrina quickly hopped out from bed, changed into a fresh set of clothes, put on some light makeup and rushed downstairs with Aino.“Mommy, you seem very happy.” Aino could clearly see the change in her mother’s mood.Without any intention of hiding her feelings, Sabrina replied gleefully, “Of course!”“Why are you so happy?” Aino asked.“That’s because I’m bringing you and two of my friends shopping today. The four of us are going to buy some pretty clothes.”“You don’t look pretty at all today!” Aino suddenly remarked in disgust.“What are you talking about? I to
It was a dirty and disheveled woman, her clothes torn and ragged. Even though she couldn’t get a clear look at the woman’s face, Sabrina could tell that the woman wasn’t young at all from her staggering walk.In just a few seconds, the woman had managed to run across the street and flee from the scene.Sabrina, who was standing alone outside the car now, started to feel melancholic.“Mommy,” Aino called out to her.Sabrina quickly snapped awake and replied, “Baby?”“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Aino asked.Sabrina shook her head. She couldn’t explain how familiar she felt the strange, disheveled woman that ran away was. Maybe she made a mistake herself. Sabrina started to shake her head violently, as if trying to clear the thoughts out of her head.“Are you okay, Mommy?” Aino thought her mother was suffering from shock.When she heard this, Sabrina stopped shaking her head. “I’m sorry baby, sorry.” She couldn’t help but think that she was only met with an accident because of her ter
After making sure that Sabrina had gone to the toilet alone, Aino turned to look at Yvonne and Ruth. With a troubled expression, she suddenly said to the two of them, “Aunt Yvonne, Aunt Ruth, I think my mother has something on her mind."Yvonne immediately replied with a serious tone, "What's the matter, baby?"“When Mommy left our house this morning, she accidentally ran into a grandma who was wearing very dirty and shabby clothes, but it was the grandma herself who had run into our car. Without asking Mommy for compensation, she immediately ran away. Ever since that happened, Mommy has seemed quite unhappy.“I even called out to her several times on the way here, but she didn't hear me."Yvonne and Ruth both remained silent.This was a serious issue indeed.After two or three seconds, Yvonne tried to comfort Aino, "It's okay baby, if your Mommy runs into any problems, Aunt Ruth and I will definitely help her. We’ll find a way to resolve it together, so please don't worry, Littl
Sabrina heard the sound of breathing from the other end of the call, but no words came. She asked, “Hello, may I know who’s speaking? Hello? Who are you?”Yet, the caller remained silent.“Hello?” Sabrina tried to speak even louder, but to no avail.Yvonne and Ruth looked at her. “Could it be a wrong number?”Sabrina shrugged. “Most probably.” With that, she ended the call.Unbeknownst to Sabrina, the person who had called her was Selene Lynn. She had registered another number just to make the call, and kept quiet on purpose so she could find out where Sabrina was.Judging from the background noise, she could tell that Sabrina wasn’t home. If she was, her surroundings would have been quiet. The hustle and bustle of the busy restaurant had been quite obvious, even through the phone.After letting out a nefarious laugh, she looked at her parents and said, “Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, Sabrina won’t be bothering us today. She must be busy spending time with her daughter. Since Sebasti
“Yes, Master Sebastian! We’ll wait for Madam to return before deciding on the next course of action.”Sebastian nodded, showing his approval.That same afternoon, Kingston sent ten of his subordinates to the Lynn family villa to observe in secret.After that, both he and Sebastian went to take care of some urgent matters in the company. Since the trip to Sabrina's hometown would last quite a few days, they had to make the proper arrangements.Sebastian spent the entire day engrossed in his work as usual, only returning home late at night.The moment he stepped into his home, he was greeted by the countless shopping bags that occupied the entire living room.He thought that Sabrina and Aino must have purchased quite a lot of things in the past few days.At the same time, he heard two voices laughing in another room, one cute and child-like while the other sounding deeper and more mature.“Mommy, look, how’s my catwalk? Mommy, say I’m pretty. I’m even prettier than Sabrina Scott.
Sabrina jumped up in shock. “What…what’s wrong?”Wasn’t he the one who told her to spend it all? That idiot! It was just an empty promise! She didn't even use up all the money, only about eighty or ninety thousand, and it still made him so unhappy. What a chameleon, changing his colors so quickly! Hmph!Though Sabrina felt scared, she couldn’t help but get furious at the thought of it."Didn’t I tell you to spend it all? You only managed to spend eighty thousand after shopping for an entire day? You..." Sebastian didn't know what else to say. Sighing coldly, he continued, "No wonder Nigel called you a country bumpkin. You really are one!"Sabrina was at an utter loss for words. She raised her hand and punched Sebastian’s chest angrily. "You...you scared me to death!"With a cold expression on his face, the man responded solemnly, "You failed in your mission to spend a million dollars, tell me, how should I punish you!"Sabrina was suddenly reminded of how she had been ‘punished’
