Sabrina raised her head and found herself looking at Sebastian. Her expression slowly shifted, unsure why he had appeared. Thinking rationally about it, however, there was no reason he shouldn’t be, given that the entire cruise was filled with rich kids anyway.Sebastian’s suit was wrapped tightly around Sabrina as he pulled her into an embrace, glaring at everyone else with a hostile expression.The bustling cruise had suddenly turned silent.There was no one on that cruise ship who was unafraid of Sebastian.Had this happened a month ago, very few would have even heard of Sebastian, much less afraid of him. However, in just a month, Sebastian had done away with Sebastian's brothers, seizing the position of highest power in Ford Group. As if that alone had not been enough, the highlight of the situation was that despite the sudden change in ownership of an entire conglomerate, there had not been any sign of turmoil or disarray within the company.That had been enough to show off
“Nigel, save us!”“Only you can talk to your cousin now.”“I beg you Nigel, if you’re willing to help me, I’ll give you my newest, favorite sports car... Unconditionally!”Nigel was still smiling as he responded, “You’re the one who said that!”“I did!”“Alright, I’ll give you all a guarantee, it will be okay! You will all definitely be okay, my cousin would absolutely not oppose so many of you from such influential families over a woman who looks like a beggar. He’s been so busy simply dealing with his own matters, how would he have the time to bother about all of you?”“Just continue playing... All of you, keep having fun.”“That’s good, I’m much more at ease if Nigel says so.”“Let’s get Nigel to be the main organiser of our next activity. That way we can play to our hearts content.”“Thank you, Nigel!”“It’s no big deal!” Nigel smiled generously. Even as the cruise was luxurious and grand, they were now lacking someone like Sabrina that they could toy around with for en
Sabrina raised her head as she gazed at Sebastian, not understanding what he had meant.Yet she spoke, her tone so distant that it seemed to be numb. “Mr. Ford, what are you trying to say? My schemes, my plans against you, don’t you already know of them? Since you’ve already exposed me, what are you still asking me about?”“You seem to have forgotten what I’ve warned you about.” The man’s voice seemed less cruel than before.“I did not forget.” Sabrina lowered her head, showing a self-deprecating smile.Sebastian had warned her not to hook up with other men while she remained in a marital relationship with him. Yet even without his warning, who would she have hooked up with?Among all the men and women on the cruise, not one of them had looked at her as a human. Even Nigel, who treated her decently, had eyes that looked like he was toying with her.In their eyes, she was nothing but a pitiful joke.“I just wanted to make some money, that’s all. Unfortunately, as I was making tha
Sebastian was went blank behind her.The next day.Sabrina had gotten up early as usual, and was preparing to leave after washing her face. Before she could, however, she heard a deep voice coming from behind her. “Hold on.”Sabrina turned around to see Sebastian, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, holding onto his briefcase. Sabrina shot him a look of confusion.“I am going to see my mother at the hospital this morning,” Sebastian said in a soft voice.Sabrina was speechless. Following awkwardly behind Sebastian, she got off the elevator and saw Kingston’s car parked by the entrance.Sabrina walked past the front of the car with no intention of slowing down. As she had almost passed the doors, Sebastian suddenly grabbed ahold of her arm. Sabrina trembled in surprise.“Get in,” he said calmly as he opened the car door, gesturing for her to get in before he did himself. He proceeded to take a seat on the same row as her.The sudden gesture had felt unnatural to Sabrina.
Sabrina raised her head to look at Sebastian, her face reddening.Finishing his toast, the man got up to leave, ignoring Sabrina.She was left speechless.It was Kingston, who had been standing by the side, who suddenly approached her and said in a low voice, “Miss Scott, you look much better when you’re embarrassed and confused.”With that, he followed his master, heading out of the diner.Sabrina gulped down her food before leaving as well. As she did not see Sebastian’s car outside the diner, she thought that Sebastian had left. She stood alone at the entrance of the diner, thinking quietly to herself.Not far away, Sebastian observed Sabrina from within the car.Standing alone like that, she looked like a leaf in the wind. Her expression seemed a little willful, but was more so unfamiliar.He also saw a loneliness and helplessness in the pitiful girl.“Go investigate whose child it is she has inside her,” he suddenly told Kingston.Kingston started, “Where… Where should I
She herself would live through anything. Allowing her baby to be born was her highest priority.The director actually did leave immediately after she had finished speaking.Sabrina sat quietly at her seat.“Sabrina!” A veteran of the design department, Amanda Cloud, yelled out fiercely.“Miss Cloud, if you have any tasks for me, please let me know and I’ll get it done.” Sabrina spoke matter-of-factly, giving Amanda a blank look.This shocked Amanda. “You…”Sabrina awaited Amanda's orders without saying anything else.A cold and cruel smile grew across Amanda’s face. “Go! Get the information we’ve compiled from the supplier. Bring every sample to the work site and let the engineers have a look at them. Since the director is out, we won’t be able to use the company cars. Carry them yourself, and take public transportation over!”Sabrina was speechless.Construction samples, bricks, buckets of silicon clay, and even diagrams. They were all bundled in a mess. Sabrina stared at t
Nigel’s strong arms supported her as he put her back on the ground. His sly smile remained on his face as he said, “Just because I had said that you wanted to seduce Shaw on the cruise and didn’t come to your rescue, you’ve started to hate me?”“I did not,” Sabrina said bluntly.She really didn’t.What relationship did she even have with Nigel?Why would she hate him? Sabrina was someone who analysed everything.“Country girl! Let me just say, you had money in your eyes that day. You were the one who allowed yourself to be toyed with by everyone. No one could’ve saved you. If I had, I’d have made myself the enemy of every rich kid in South City.”Nigel spoke directly in Sabrina’s face without a shred of compassion.“Other than my cousin Sebastian, no one could have saved you. Furthermore, it was only a game. As per your own agreement with Mindy, she would have given you that money in the end. You have no right to feel as if you’ve been wronged.”Sabrina maintained her composure
Sabrina did not answer, lowering her head as she continued to eat. The fiber strips in the sweet potatoes were not completely removed, so she removed them as she ate.“Do you like sweet potatoes that much?” Nigel asked.“Yeah, they’re sweet,” Sabrina replied.“It can’t really be that sweet, it’s not chocolate! Hand it over and let me try, if I find out that you’ve tricked me, I’ll deal with you right here!” Nigel snatched Sabrina’s plate away, taking it forcefully from her hands. He did not seem to care that they were out in the open, nor did he bother about the dust everywhere. Using the fork, he placed a piece of sweet potato into his mouth.Sabrina was stunned.She stared blankly at Nigel.Nigel gulped down one after another. After finishing, he paused before saying, “D*mn, I did not expect the food at this construction site to be so good. That sweet potato was so good... It’s sweet yet fragrant, soft and waxy.”His expression was clearly exaggerated and uncouth.Yet, Sa
