Chapter 709
That night, she didn’t dream at all. Though Sabrina got a good rest, she woke up very early the next morning as she wasn’t used to sleeping without using Sebastian’s arm as a pillow.Not long after the morning rays of the sun crept into her room through the windows, she prepared herself to face the new day. Then, she ate breakfast in the hotel at six in the morning before hailing a taxi.As she passed by the county town while traveling from the airport yesterday, Sabrina had felt that the town had lost its old and vintage charm. Now, numerous tall buildings stood in every part of the area. After taking a closer look in the daytime, she noticed that construction and development works of all sorts were taking place virtually everywhere.Seeing as the town was developing so rapidly, Sabrina could not help but wonder what her old house, which was located not far from the town centre, looked like now?Every lot in the residential areas must have been occupied by a newly-built double-sto

Sabrina headed for the forklift without any hesitation and stood in its way.Seeing this, the forklift driver jumped in shock and immediately stopped his work. He shouted angrily after jumping down from his seat, “Do you want to die?! Even if you do, you shouldn’t stand here and cause more trouble for me. Just who do you think you are?! Go away, go away, don’t get in the way of our work!”Despite the man’s fierce tone, Sabrina simply stood there without moving, “This is my house, I never agreed for it to be demolished!”Seeing as the forklift driver was speechless, she raised her head and looked at the faces surrounding her. She didn’t recognize a single familiar face. Her old neighbors were nowhere in sight, or maybe they just looked completely different now.Right then, an old and wizened voice called out from behind her, “Sabbie, is that you Sabbie?”Sabrina immediately turned around and saw a hunched-back, 80-year-old old man. After some hesitation, she asked, “You are…?”“Ar

Now, after all this time, Sabrina was finally back.“Sabbie, come with me to my house, I need to talk to you.” Even though he was now of old age, Granduncle Scott was still very much cautious and alert. Seeing how the place was crowded, he knew that it wasn't suitable to have a conversation here.After nodding at him, Sabrina turned to look at the people present and at the forklift driver who was about to resume work. She took a deep breath and announced, “I’m the owner of this house. Since I’m here now, you’ll have to give me an explanation as to why you were allowed to start the demolition work without my consent.“Otherwise, I’ll just lie down right here. We’ll see how you continue working then!”The forklift driver was left completely speechless. He was just following orders, after all. Seeing this, the manager of the village’s construction had no choice but to make a few phone calls. After a while, he sighed and shook his head, saying to the forklift driver, “There’s no choi

Granduncle Scott immediately stopped speaking and shuddered in shock when he heard the loud and boisterous voice.He whispered to Sabrina softly, “Your cousin is here.”Upon hearing this, Sabrina turned around calmly and saw a woman standing in Granduncle Scott’s rundown yard.She looked to be five or six years older than Sabrina. At a glance, people might have assumed that she was in her 30s. Though she was quite well dressed, the woman’s skin was atrocious and she looked slightly plump as well. Without hesitation, she yelled arrogantly in the direction of the house, “Sabrina! It looks like you finally remembered your hometown, come out!”Then, she said to Granduncle Scott, “Hey, old man, I think you’re on the wrong side here. Even your own daughter and son-in-law are afraid to come back here, and yet, you’re expecting this little mixed-breed to support you?”Mixed-breed?When she heard the phrase, Sabrina was instantly brought back to her childhood, where the other villagers wo

The driver immediately stopped talking. He was so shocked by Coral’s fierce tone that he couldn’t say a single word. All he could do was stare at Sabrina.Seeing the look on his face, Sabrina said gently, “Thank you, sir, please wait for me in the car. I’ll pay you once I’ve dealt with the matters here.”“Alright, alright, Miss.” The driver had no choice but to return to his car.Then, she turned to look at Coral with a vicious expression. “Who was the one who told you such things about me?”Were the Lynn family here?Sabrina wasn’t worried about anything else, not even the compensation fee. As long as she managed to find some of her parents’ old belongings and get people to retrieve their buried remains, she would be satisfied.Meanwhile, Coral lifted her eyebrow and turned her attention to Sabrina again, her lips curled up in a sneer.In the past five or six years that Sabrina had spent on the run, the Lynn family had come to the village a few times. Every single time, they wo

Coral smiled sinisterly. “What do I intend to do? Sabrina, what have you been doing all these years? It must be tough, being in that line of business, right? The rich girl in South City told me a lot about you.”Sabrina immediately asked, “Selene Lynn?”Coral’s smile grew even bigger, “You’re smart, but you stayed in her house and ate her food. I heard that your mother was a servant in her house, so who knows how she serviced the man of the house? With your lowly status, how could you have the audacity to refer to your master by her name? It’s no wonder that your master Selene resents you so much!” “What did Selene tell you?” Sabrina shouted furiously.“She told me to hand you over to her the moment I see you sticking your head out in this town. Aren’t you aware of the debt you owe her? Sabrina, you made a grave mistake. As your cousin, it’s my responsibility to teach you a lesson!” Coral spoke in a condescending tone, like a parent disciplining their naughty child. Since she wa

At worst, she would only face death. Now that Aino was with her father, whom she had grown close to, Sabrina could leave this world with no regrets. As such, she didn’t make a single sound as the four men tried to restrain her.“Sabbie…” Granduncle Scott called out, his eyes beginning to tear. Being the lonely old man he was, Granduncle Scott did not dare to get on the wrong side of rich business people like Coral, who had power and influence in the town.“Granduncle,” Sabrina said calmly, “I’m sorry for troubling you.”“Bring her back to the county town.” Heeding Coral’s order, the four men immediately walked out, dragging Sabrina along with them. The other villagers simply watched on as it all unfolded. In the end, the quiet and hardworking ones didn’t say anything. Being powerless themselves, they were afraid of crossing the wrong people. They could only sigh.Those who were standing in the crowd whispered to each other, “Sigh, if you don’t have many family members and are not

Sabrina immediately shouted at her, “You filthy woman, what are you planning to do with me!”Coral’s laugh was extremely nefarious. “Sabrina, you have only yourself to blame for getting on Ms. Lynn’s wrong side. In the past six years, the Lynns came here many times looking for you. Just to get close to Selene, I would spend tens of thousands of dollars every time they came to visit the town. I can’t just throw all that money away, can I? I’m going to use you to get back my money!”Sabrina snapped back furiously, “This is considered human trafficking! It’s illegal!”“Hah!” Coral snorted at her like a crazed woman. “Sabrina, you really don’t know your place, do you? In this small county town, on my land, you dare lecture me on breaking the law? Do you know how many connections I have in this town? If I wanted you dead, you would be gone within a few minutes, just like that. However, I won’t allow you to enjoy such an easy death. You’ll have to earn me a bucketful of cash first. Only t
