Jade’s tone softened. “I can’t give you the money, but I’ll give you this stuff myself in the future. As for how much you get, it depends on your performance.”The man said, “You old lady, you’re so vicious!”Jade coldly smiled. “I’m vicious? You’ve been with me for so many years. You’ve already gotten at least a million from me, and what have I gotten? Isn’t it about time you do something for me?”The man looked like he was in pain, and immediately begged her, “Please, Big Sister, tell… Tell me what you want me to do, I’ll agree no matter what. I’ll even kill someone for you, Big Sister. Give it to me!”Jade smiled in satisfaction. She gave the man a very small, miniscule amount before saying into his ear, “You said it. Now help me kill someone.”The man nodded. “I’ll definitely help you!”“Let me tell you, that woman destroyed my fortune, our fortune! If you kill that woman, don’t worry about money. All of Star Island will be yours to play with after the fact!”“Is that true
Sebastian’s tone was incredibly somber. “What of it? Did you think that I needed to report the fact that I’m here to you?”Old Master Shaw sucked in a breath of cold air.After pausing, he asked, “You actually answered my call, as if nothing had happened.”Sebastian’s tone was calm, “Was the phone not invented to make communication easier?”Old Master Shaw said, “But you… Never used any weapons. You did not make any moves!”Sebastian calmly smiled. “I did not bring any weapons.”“You!” Old Master Shaw was even more shocked. “You… Don’t tell me…”“That’s right, I only brought my wife and daughter, as well as my bodyguard Kingston. Only the four of us came to Star Island,” Sebastian said. Old Master Shaw was speechless.From what he understood of Seabstian, Sebastian would not set foot on Star Island so casually unless Sebastian was already sure of his victory.Did Star Island already fall into Sebastian’s hands before Sebastian even stepped on it?How was that possible?Aft
Five black cars were stopped outside the place. The moment Sebastian left and got into a car, someone gave him a report.“Young Master, the Young Madam and the princess are in great condition at the moment. The Payne family hasn’t done anything untoward to them.”Sebastian said, “Alright.”“According to our reports earlier, Holden prepared the best room for the princess and the madam, and they’re now asleep. I heard…”The subordinate stopped the report halfway through and did not continue.Kingston said, “What did you hear? Just speak up.”The subordinate then said, “I heard that the little princess beat Miss Selene, who was a guest of the Payne family, until her head was swollen and full of bruises.”“Oh…” Kingston let out a snort of laughter.The subordinate did not dare to do so.After all, the subordinate was not as familiar with Sebastian as Kingston.After that, Kingston said, “Continue…”“Yes, I even heard that. The princess actually…actually used Holden Payne as a ho
When he saw that it was really Nigel, Kingston asked, “Young Master, should we get out of the car to ask?”Sebastian turned around, not answering as he said to the driver, “Drive!”The driver replied, “Yes, Young Master!”The car continued on. In the car, Sebastian remained quiet, so no one spoke as well.The driver did not ask Sebastian where they were going. He merely drove on and on until the car silently entered Poole Manor, and Poole Manor’s gates shut.The night was extremely quiet.That night was abnormally peaceful.That night could allow anyone to sleep peacefully. It could also lead to many unexpected and drastic changes.The night allowed the swelling on Selene’s head to abate quite a bit after the medication. It also let Sabrina and Aino sleep peacefully and sweetly.To prevent anyone in Poole Manor from discovering Sebastian’s whereabouts, Sabrina had kept her phone off.The next morning, the sky was clear when they woke up.Aino and Sabrina washed up before t
How nice would it be if Aino would call him father?A title he did not even have to work for?Even better!Holden liked it!During breakfast, Sabrina did not do anything. It had been Holden who was feeding Aino.Sabrina was so shocked that she did not know what to do.After they ate, Aino made a big deal of wanting to go out.Sabrina felt like going out was a good idea. She would at least be able to observe the local geography and scenery. Star Island was a small place, and a day was enough to tour the whole place.Sabrina held Aino’s hand as they excitedly left the East Hall, and they coincidentally saw the doctors opening the door in the West Hall, going in to treat Selene’s head.Selene was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard.Aino let out a burst of uncontrollable laughter when she suddenly saw Selene’s bandaged head, “Haha, Mom, look, that ugly monster’s head is still full of bruises. Her purple bruises might look a bit better, but now her whole head is wrapped in whi
Holden immediately straightened his body in shock when he heard that voice, “You… You dared to call me?”Sebastian did not answer. He merely said, “Holden, there’s something I wanted to ask you. 50 years ago, do you know about the secret between the Payne family and the Summer family?”Holden was speechless.His tongue was tied, and he did not know what to say.Sebastian’s wife and daughter were in his hands, and they were practically hostages, but Sebastian did not seem anxious at all.Did he not care about Sabrina and Aino’s lives anymore?If that was the case, was Holden not a lucky man then?However, Holden still asked Sebastian in disbelief, “Ford! You… You’re still a man! You’re the king of South City! You… Don’t you know that your wife and daughter are in my hands?”On the other end, Sebastian’s tone was still calm and cool, “What are you trying to say?”“Aren’t you afraid that I will…”“If you touched them at all, you would already have been chopped up to pieces,” Seb
Sebastian was speechless.“I’ve never cared about Star Island. This small place is underdeveloped and relies on charity each year. I’m just like you. I have businesses overseas as well! I’ll still live very comfortably overseas even if I leave Star Island! Sebastian, you can’t threaten me! My brother currently has the support of Old Master Shaw and the Poole family. We still don’t know who the final victor would be!”“Don’t worry, I’ve never been a coward!”“I won’t ask for any mercy even if I’m captured by you and skinned alive!”After that, Holden hung up.On the other end, Sebastian was thoughtful.“What is it, young master?” Kingston asked behind him.Sebastian smiled plainly, “I wanted to ask Holden where he is. He brought Sabrina and Aino out. The Poole Manor is much safer than outside. However, I’m worried there’ll be an accident outside, so I called Holden, in the end…”Sebastian never expected that Holden’s personality would be so intense.He suddenly felt a sense of
Nigel was in incredible pain. A knife was stuck to his back, and bright red blood poured out, yet he used his whole back to protect Aino and one hand to cover Aino’s eyes.He did not want the six-old-girl to witness the bloody sight.“Sabrina, run! Quickly, run!” Nigel shouted at Sabrina loudly.At that time, the skinny thug wanted to take a stab at the girl beneath Nigel. He took out another knife but was immediately kicked away by Sabrina’s full force.The man fell to the floor.The knife in his hand fell out as well.Sabrina took a clear look at the man.She had only seen him once, but he left a deep impression on her.It was the man who was very close to Jade.She never expected that the man would come to Star Island with Jade.What a sinister woman!At that time, Holden snapped back to reality. He stood up from his chair, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen of his subordinates surrounded the skinny man. However, before they could even get close, that skinny man had his
