At that moment, Sebastian simply stood there with a stoic expression, as if being worshipped by a thousand people.Sabrina quickly turned her head towards the man standing outside her window. With a curl of her lips and a faint smile, she said, “Hello.”“Madam, we weren’t aware that you had returned to your hometown. I hope you’ll forgive us for the inconvenience we have caused you,” the man apologized with a sincere tone.Sabrina pursed her lips and replied, “It’s fine.”“Madam, we’ll stop the construction for now. We found a crew that specialises in unearthing graves for you. They should be here soon. “We’ll work on retrieving your father’s remains first, before finding a proper burial spot. Naturally, we’ll make sure that you’re satisfied with the location. Also, regarding the compensation for demolishing your house as well as your father’s grave...“We’d like to offer you one million. What do you think? If that’s not enough, we can always add more.”Sabrina was left utterly
The sound of Selene’s voice immediately infuriated Sabrina. All of her hatred, the worry she felt for her mother, as well as the humiliation that she had been subjected to in the morning all came together in that instant, taking away any shred of remorse she had left.“Selene, you can just tell me if you don’t want to live anymore. I’ll make sure you die a painful death!”“Haha!” Hearing this, Selene began to laugh hysterically. “Sabrina, the only reason I have for living is to beat you! Let me just say this, you and your mother should never have come to our home. The both of you should have died when you were twelve!“You shouldn't be alive!“You and that ugly ruffian of a mother should be dead!”“Shut up!” Sabrina spat.She was absolutely livid.If Selene had been standing in front of her at this moment, Sabrina would surely have picked up a knife to end her life without hesitation!Before this, Sabrina had always acted calm and composed regardless of the situation. Be it w
“I will definitely destroy him!”With that, Sabrina immediately hung up.She knew that she would go crazy if she had continued the phone call with Selene.It wouldn’t be a good look in front of so many people here.Instead, Sabrina decided to exact her revenge once she got back to South City. She vowed that she would destroy the Lynn family no matter what, even if it meant she had to gather troops herself.Nevertheless, at that moment, Sabrina wasn’t aware that Selene and her family had already fled to Star Island.The one who had helped them escape behind the scenes was Old Master Shaw.After she ended the call, Sabrina turned to look at everyone there apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, that was an embarrassing sight.”“No, Mrs Ford, you've already shown us your generosity.”“The fact that you gave away a million to someone who helped you before is enough to show how magnanimous you are.”Those villagers were sly manipulators who were used to flattering others.However, w
When he saw how Sabrina was holding on to the box with a look of despair on her face, Sebastian could not bear to say anything else to her.Instead, he hugged Sabrina tightly and whispered to her in a low voice, “You have so many people with you now. There’s me, Aino, Zayn, and your two good friends, so you must remain strong.”Hearing this, Sabrina pursed her lips and smiled.Though she sank even deeper into Sebastian’s embrace, her tone was much calmer now. “Sebastian, I have… suffered and been through a lot. As a result, I can keep my cool regardless of the circumstances.“I can handle it, so you don’t have to try and console me, or protect me from anything. I can deal with even the cruelest of things.“Just tell me.”Subconsciously, Sabrina’s mind drifted to the worst possible scenario.Lincoln had confined her mother!Right when Sabrina herself was in South City!The same city!Yet, she did not know.The guilt made her extremely restless, but to stop Sebastian from wor
When the old woman had first encountered Kingston, she instantly jumped in fright.However, after listening to his explanation and the purpose of his investigation, the old woman began to calm down. As Kingston spoke of Sabrina’s mother, she could not help but sympathise and shed a tear for her. “That’s a good woman. She might have looked uncultured and lacked my madam’s extravagance, but I could tell that the woman was incredibly well mannered. She would act very elegantly, just like an heiress of a rich and powerful family, and was very kind to me as well.“At my age, I couldn't bear to do something so hurtful.“Realising that saving a life was much more meaningful than obtaining all the riches in the world, I decided to risk my job to help that woman escape.”“However, I never contacted her after that. Being the old lady she was, she naturally did not know how to work her way around a mobile phone, while I couldn’t afford one myself. As such, we never had any way to communicat
Sebastian quickly glanced at Sabrina.Meanwhile, Sabrina, who was still wallowing in sadness, didn’t seem to notice his gaze. She only saw Sebastian sitting up right suddenly and so asked, “What is it Sebastian? What’s that about a homeless woman?”Sebastian shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing.” He then dismissed the guard and hung up the call.After that, he held onto Sabrina tightly.Being enveloped in Sebastian’s embrace once again, Sabrina momentarily decided not to ask about anything else, simply burying her face into his arms.In the meantime, she didn’t notice that Sebastian was busy exchanging a look with his driver.Kingston had been Sebastian’s personal bodyguard for over ten years.As such, regardless of whatever it was that the young master wanted or needed, he could tell from a single look.At that moment, Kingston understood that the young master was ordering him to send someone immediately to look into that vagabond.When they heard the security guard’s call,
Sabrina nodded.Sabrina slept very well in the hotel that afternoon.It was already nighttime when she woke up.When she opened her eyes, she did not see her husband or daughter.Sabrina thought that Aino must have dragged Sebastian downstairs to walk around, possibly to buy something.At that moment, her phone rang again. Sabrina trembled. The call earlier in the day was from Selene. Would it be Selene’s call again?If it were, Sabrina would not be able to keep her calm.Hence, she decided not to answer.Sabrina ignored her ringing phone and did not answer it.In the end, not a minute later, the phone rang again.She took the phone and answered it with a conflicted look on her face, “Hello!”“What is it, Sabrina?” On the other end was Yvonne’s gentle and concerned voice.“Yvonne, it’s you! Why did you suddenly think about calling me at this time?” Hearing Yvonne’s voice, Sabrina was in a much better mood. She was very pleasantly surprised.“You weren’t in the company the
It was Sabrina who bumped into the person, and she even stepped on that woman’s foot.Hence, she frantically apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Does your foot hurt after I stepped on it?”The woman disdainfully measured Sabrina, and her tone sounded like she was talking down to an animal, “You have your pajamas on, and your hair is so unkempt. Where did you come from?! Did you come to sell your body? Someone like that stepping on my foot? Do you have any diseases or illnesses? Ah… How disgusting, go away, go away, go away!”The woman pinched her nose before retreating a few steps, continuing to berate Sabrina, “Woman, distance yourself from me! You were so smelly when you talked to me! Get away from me! I’m so disgusted!”Sabrina was speechless.She looked up and looked at the woman properly.The woman seemed to be around thirty. She had chestnut-coloured hair, and her hair was properly taken care of. However, her skin was a little dark, and it was possibly because of the weather
