Sabrina turned and saw Old Master Shaw.“Grandpa!” Marcus looked at this grandfather, slightly mad. “You’re too much!”Old Master Shaw studied his grandson with sharp eyes. “Marcus! Are you angry at me for coming to my own grandson’s company? You haven’t been home in a week, not even when your parents call you and ask you to come home, and now I can’t come to your company to visit my grandson?”Ever since Marcus found out Old Master Shaw orchestrated the Lynn family’s escape to Star Island, he was so angry he didn’t go home. Instead, he chose to stay in a hotel where none of his family could find him.“You can!” Marcus said patiently. “But why are you biased against Sabrina?”The old man barked out coldly, “Am I biased against her? This is fact! Look at her, does she look at all like the lady of a rich and famous family? Fooling around with two men in public and corrupting public morals, you think you’re doing so well, don’t you? You are such an embarrassment!”Sabrina looked at the ol

All these years, Marcus held on to his wishful thinking that Sabrina was the Shaw family’s granddaughter, and yet Old Master Shaw kept hurting her. It wasn’t just Sabrina, anyone else in her position would be equally irate and incensed. And what’s more, Sabrina wasn’t a greedy woman. Marcus apologized to her sincerely. “I’m sorry…”Sabrina didn’t take it to heart. “It’s alright, I know you meant well. Enough about me, how are you and Yvonne?”At the mention of Yvonne, a smile appeared on his face. “She’s very interesting, cute and lively.”“Then be nice to her. Her cousin is Sebastian’s top bodyguard cum driver. If you harm her in any way, her cousin will cut you into teeny tiny little pieces of meat!”Marcus laughed. “I know, I would never dare go against her wishes, I will treat Yvonne like a princess.”Sabrina laughed. “That’s more like it!”After a pause, she looked at Nigel again. “Master Nigel, you should go home. Thank you for your concern, but my husband can solve this proble

Hearing her daughter’s scream, Sabrina started and turned to look back at Aino, “Where, baby?”“Outside the window.” Aino pointed outside the window.Sabrina looked in the direction of Aino’s finger. “Where? I don’t see anything.”“Mommy, your eyesight is poor. You need to look past the road, behind that tree. See, there are two little black eyes there.” Aino’s gaze was still fixed far in the distance. She wasn’t afraid of the pair of eyes at all, because Aino could feel the warmth of its gaze. Upon closer look, Sabrina did indeed see the pair of eyes.Sabrina was so shocked, she froze for a split second. All she saw was a pair of dark eyes behind a tree, the eyes were looking at them through a gap in the branches.Sabrina stared back at the eyes for a while, then immediately got out of the car and led Aino running toward the road. “Aino, quick, follow me.”However, by the time they reached the opposite end of the road, she didn’t see anything. The pair of eyes had long since disappear

She told herself that she still had Sebastian and she still had Aino. They were a happy family of three. She craved more from Sebastian, to calm her anxious wounds. The moment her words left her mouth, the people on the other side immediately felt like laughing, but didn’t dare to, they didn’t even dare cover their mouths!Luckily, Sabrina knew when to stop. “I won’t get in the way of your work. Come back soon, I can’t fall asleep without you. I’m hanging up soon, bye dear.”Her continuous sweet tone and words made him feel refreshed. In the past, he hated sweet things. Even his coffee was the most bitter, most concentrated coffee available on the market worldwide. And now, he didn’t realize when it had started but he drank his coffee with a cube of sugar. He found that the fragrant coffee tasted particularly delicious when it was laced with a hint of sweetness.That night, Sebastian returned home late. Tip-toeing into his house, he thought Sabrina would’ve fallen asleep, but noticed t

Instantly, Sebastian straightened up. “What action?”On the other end, his subordinate reported immediately. “The leader of Star Island, Simon Payne, is giving a speech in public. He is talking about resisting an attack from South City!”Sebastian laughed coldly. “Ha! Why would I attack him? He overestimates himself.”“Master Sebastian, what should we do now?” his subordinate asked. Sebastian laughed coldly. “He wants to resist an attack from South City, right? Hire more soldiers for him, let him realize how strong he is.”“Understood, Sir.” On the other end, his subordinate said respectfully, “I’m sorry for interrupting your rest, Sir. Goodnight.”“Alright.” Ending the call, Sebastian saw that Sabrina was already sitting upright. She was looking at him worriedly. “You stayed late in the office today not to make up for the delay, but because you were preparing for the attack on Star Island?”Sebastian nodded. “Yes.”Sabrina bit her lips. “Will it be dangerous?”“No,” he answ

A blush spread across her cheeks. When she was done changing into a new set of clothes, she walked out of the bedroom and headed to the dining room, but still, Sebastian was nowhere in sight.Seeing her, Aunt Lewis said, “Madam, Sir left for the office more than an hour ago. He seems particularly busy these days.”“Yeah, it’s fine.” Sabrina turned and walked to the balcony. The balcony was filled with various species of potted plants, all of them green and lush with life. Taking advantage of the spare time before breakfast, Sabrina tended to the plants. Once again, she was reminded of her mother. Even though they had been poor, her mother had green fingers and loved plants. In the past, Sabrina could never figure out why her mother was so different from the other women in the village, even though she was just another poverty-stricken villager?Her mother could play the piano well. She loved nature too. She even loved to wash Sabrina’s hair with water soaked in Jasmine flowers. Her moth

Ruth was crying miserably on the other side of the line. "Sabrina, hurry and come save me please.""Don't cry, Ruth. Tell me the address and I'll head over right away to get you," Sabrina said immediately."It's a secret hostel in the slum area, you lived here six years ago. They told me it's just a secret hostel when it actually is filled with people specializing in trafficking. They said they are going to sell me off to some old man, and he is going to be here in an hour."Sabrina's heart ached, listening to her friend's suffering voice. "I'll be there right away. If that old man arrives before I do, you need to fight him with everything you have. Buy yourself some time, do you understand?""Okay."Sabrina hung up, grabbed her bag and rushed down, without stopping to inform the Design Director. She got into her car and it wasn't until she was on the way when she called the Director to explain her sudden disappearance."I'm sorry, Director, there is some urgent matter that I need to t

And in comparison to her, Selene was the absolute opposite. Did Selene ever show even the slightest trace of integrity? Mindy, the cousin he had been spoiling for over twenty years, was no different. The more he looked at Mindy, the more disgusted he was by her. However, the thought of Mindy had reminded him of Ruth, which was why he decided to call Sabrina to ask about her."I'm sorry, Sabrina," he said apologetically. "I guess I have been getting ahead of myself, I want to apologize to you about that. I won't force you into it anymore. We are still good friends, though, aren't we?""Yes. I will always see you as a good friend of mine. Is this why you are calling?" Sabrina's tone eased."Not really. You received a call from your friend Ruth just now right before you left. It has been a few days since she last showed up for work. Did something happen to her?"Sabrina became increasingly anxious at the mention of Ruth, but she knew that she couldn't mention this to anyone just yet. She
