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
Nigel curled up into a ball and the blood on his back spurted out. He looked at Sebastian with a painful expression, “Cousin, I… I didn’t do anything to Sabrina. I just wanted to protect her… To protect her daughter, Sabrina has already suffered so much…”Sebastian supported Nigel with one arm, shouting back, “Get a car here, send him to the hospital right now! Get the best doctor to operate on him. He has to live!”A car quickly sent Nigel straight to the hospital.Sebastian hugged Sabrina with one hand and carried his daughter with the other.“You… How did you barge in? Were you always hiding nearby? Everything my brother and I did, you… You knew all of it?” Holden looked at Sebastian with a fearful expression.He knew how vicious Sebastian was.He knew that Sebastian would do anything he said he would.Since Sebastian said he wanted to attack Star Island, Sebastian had prepared for the matter for six or seven years before carrying it out. Since Sebastian was here, even withou
On the other end was an incredibly old and tired laugh, “Sebastian, how could you not recognize my voice?”Sebastian could finally tell that it was Old Master Shaw on the other end.He suddenly sat up straight, “Old man, what are you saying?!”“I can tell you the secret of Star Island.” Old Master Shaw said again.Sebastian was speechless.After a moment, he asked, “Did you know about it from the start?”“Yes!” Old Master Shaw admitted it bluntly.“Why did you not tell me sooner then? Why did you wait for me to attack this place?” Sebastian asked.On the other end, Old Master Shaw’s voice sounded even older, “One of the reasons I didn’t tell you was that I once swore to your mother and your maternal family that I would keep the secret forever.”“The other reason is that if I told you the secret back then, you would only speed up your attack on Star Island. That was why I always concealed the secret. I planned on letting it rot with me forever, never telling you, but now…”On
