Chapter 692
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’
Chapter 697
Ever since she ran into the dirty and disheveled woman, all Sabrina wanted was to return home as soon as possible to take a look at her mother’s grave. In fact, she was desperate to do so. If only she could fly home right now.Sebastian’s lips gently pecked her forehead. “Apply for a leave tomorrow, I’ll book the flight tickets.”“Thanks, dear.” Sabrina slowly curled up in Sebastian’s arms and fell asleep, feeling safe and sound.Monday came.Even though her weekend had been quite eventful, Sabrina had still managed to find the time to draft some designs. As per Sebastian’s instructions, she went to see the director in the morning with the drafts in her hand to apply for leave. She planned to apply for a week’s break, so as to not miss out on too much work.However, the minute she walked into the building with her briefcase in hand, Sabrina ran into a few of her male colleagues. One of them, William Kiel, seemed very excited to see her. “Sabrina! You’ll have to give us snacks as

Ruth shuddered, as if she could sense the pair of eyes behind stalking her.“What’s wrong, Ruth?” Sabrina asked with a concerned look.Ruth simply smiled, “I just felt a cold breeze blow against me. Maybe it’s because I wore too little out today, since I wanted to look pretty, haha.”Sabrina smiled back and said, “You do look beautiful today.”“Thank you, but it's all thanks to you.” Even though Ruth was used to wearing expensive clothes, she was still extremely grateful to Sabrina for the clothes she had bought her. After all, her clothes were mostly hand-me-downs from Mindy that either didn’t fit her or that she didn’t like anymore. Unlike Sabrina, Mindy would never bring Ruth shopping or give her a chance to pick out the clothes she liked. At the thought of this, Ruth started to wonder if she had been blind in the past. How could she have resented Sabrina so much, scheming various tricks and plans to entrap her, when she was such a nice girl, one that was truly loyal to her f
Chapter 699
Ruth’s phone suddenly rang as they were queuing up to pay.It was the phone that Sabrina had bought for Ruth yesterday. When she heard it ring, Sabrina started to tease her friend, saying, “It must be Master Ryan. You’ve just registered this number yesterday, so who else could it be? Say, now that you don’t want to marry him anymore, it looks like he’s coming after you instead. I bet he’s going to ask you out for dinner now”Ruth simply laughed at Sabrina’s remark as she held her phone up to look at the caller ID. When she saw who was calling, the smile on her lips instantly froze.It was her mother.Yesterday, after Sabrina had bought her the phone, the first thing Ruth did was call home.She desperately wanted to reconcile with her parents. Regardless of what happened, they were still her parents, and she couldn’t keep staying at Yvonne’s house. However, her parents didn’t share the same sentiment. The second the call connected, they began screaming at her. “You damn wench! Wh
