Sabrina replied in a cold and detached voice. “When, what time?”“Four in the afternoon!”“Fine, I’ll be there on one a condition,” Sabrina said, “Do not bother Aunt Grace, or I won’t play nice with you!”Selene laughed savagely. “Haha! Sabrina, you seem to really think that Grace is your mother now. Don’t forget, you’re the fake, and I’m the real one. Grace is my fiance’s mother after all, how could I hurt her? Aren’t you getting worried over nothing?”“It’s good that you remember she’s your mother-in-law. I’ll be there at four.” Sabrina hung up the phone after saying that.Just as she was about to tidy up her office before looking for a stall to have lunch, Sabrina’s phone rang again. Thinking that it was Selene again, she had started to get irritated. Checking the phone, however, she realized that it was an unknown number. She composed herself before picking up. “Hello, who is this?”“Madam.” Kingston’s voice came from the other end.Sabrina blushed, her tone brightening up a
Five dishes.Sabrina looked at them, smiling as she shook her head.Gosh, such an extravagant meal... How could she finish everything?However, her heart felt ecstatic.Grabbing her delivery, Sabrina was smiling as she headed back to the employee cafeteria to eat. Just before entering, however, she stumbled upon Nigel and his friend Zayn.“Yo! Have you been helping out with carrying any new giants these past two days, Sabrina?” Nigel intercepted her, blocking her way as he asked casually.Sabrina looked up, smiling at Nigel.Her smile was glowing with vibrance.Nigel was once again stunned.It was the second time he had seen that smile on Sabrina. The first time had been three days ago, while she was having that meal at the company’s construction site.“Nigel, I haven't seen you in the past two days, have you been busy?” Sabrina gazed at Nigel, her beaming smile causing her eyebrows to arch upwards.Nigel nodded meekly.“Well, no matter how busy you are, don't forget I’ll g
Behind Sabrina, Sebastian’s gaze was fixed on her.When she had slapped Selene just now, Kingston had been sweating on her behalf.Just how unlucky was that girl?Kingston had felt somewhat satisfied when Sabrina hit Selene, but he knew as well that at that moment, Sabrina could be…Sabrina’s face was scrunched up. Tears flowed as she vented at Selene, “Selene, listen here! I am still Sebastian’s lawful wife! Aunt Grace likes me a lot, and will only be willing to recognise me as her daughter-in-law! You... To Aunt Grace, you are nothing! Just watch, in the remaining month that Aunt Grace has left, I will get her to kill off your entire family!“I’ll make sure to do as I say!”Sabrina had really been infuriated by Selene. She had always hated the Lynn family. If it weren’t for them, she would not have spent two years of her life in jail, nor would she have had to give her body to a man who was about to die, ending up pregnant.Her entire life, her future, had all been ruined by
Selene fell into Sebastian’s embrace, crying as she looked up at him. “Young Master... Boohoo…”Sabrina was speechless.Sebastian’s gaze was cold and murderous as he looked at Sabrina.Behind Sebastian stood the Ford family’s old master and old mistress, and behind them were several more people. Sabrina did not know who the others were, but there was one person that Sabrina recognized.That was Nigel.“Mr… Mr Ford.” Sabrina struggled to find her words. “It’s… it’s her, Se… Selene was the one who invited me here. I thought… I thought that she had wanted to do something to Aunt Grace…”“I was the one who asked her to meet me here.” Sebastian’s voice was calm, but there was clearly a cold undertone.The reason Selene had appeared in front of the hospital really was because Sebastian had asked her over.The day before, Old Master Ford had formally requested for him to pick a girl from a few notable families as a bride, but Sebastian had not agreed.Yet he knew as well that the ma
Sabrina was speechless.She did not know how to explain this to Sebastian. She realized that the situation had been set up as a trap by the Lynn family, and she had jumped right in.She had no arguments to make.Furthermore, even if she were to explain, Sebastian would not believe her.Sabrina was stunned silent, unable to say a word.“If anything happens to Selene or the Lynn family from today on, I won’t mind having another life on my hands. I will make sure you die a painful death.” Sebastian’s tone was metallic and unemotional as he spoke to Sabrina. He left after that, supporting Selene.Sabrina’s thoughts were in a complete mess.She knew that those words were not empty.She had seen for herself how he handled his enemies. He was someone who could be extremely gentle, but he could also be as cruel as hell.He would do what he said, and would never soften his heart.Sabrina looked over at Sebastian. He was holding up Selene as he walked toward Henry. Her head resting a
Starting to feel a sense of inferiority, Selene withdrew into Sebastian’s embrace. Sebastian spoke up. “Grandpa, Selene is already pregnant. You can stop that. If you continue shouting, you’ll scare your great grandchild in Selene’s belly.”Henry was speechless.“I got her to meet you here so you can know and be prepared. The woman I want to marry in this life is her, Selene Lynn!“After my mother passes away, I will bring her to the Ford Residence to formally meet you. From now on, we won’t have to discuss marital matters anymore.” Sebastian’s words left no room for debate.It was just a statement.A simple one.Without waiting for Old Master Ford’s reply, Sebastian carried Selene and left.Selene asked nervously, “Young Master Sebastian, I… was I very rude?”“No.” Sebastian replied simply.“Young Master…”“Call me Sebastian.” “Young… Sebastian… I-I don’t dare to.”“I am your man!”As she hid in his embrace, Selene’s heart grew elated. She took a sweet and charming ton
Sabrina looked uncertain and speechless.The vibrant, innocent smile that was full of life that she had been wearing for the past few days was lost. She had once again reverted to her cold, alienated expression.That look, in Nigel’s eyes, was extremely pitiful.Yet he enjoyed seeing this pitiful and determined look. It was more fun this way.“I was wondering why you’ve been so happy, looking like a flower in bloom. It seems that my cousin was treating you well. However, you got cocky too early. Daring to face his actual woman simply because he treated you well for two days?“You really have some fat guts!“I really couldn’t tell. You’ve always had that cold and bitter look, as if you didn’t care about anything, but I guess when you do something, you do it big?“You had my cousin before you, and Marcus Shaw behind.“Then you have me.“Any one among the three of us would have been enough to cause ripples in South City.“Your eyes really are sharp!”Sabrina was speechless.Ni
Old Madam Ford consoled Grace as well. “Daughter-in-law, Sean is overseas right now. Once he finishes up his business, he will come back and marry you. After marriage, you will really be a part of our family. You… Could you call me mother?”Grace looked at Old Madam Ford, covered in tears. “Mom…”“Ah, you are a good daughter-in-law. Take good care of yourself. You will get better... You will definitely get better.” The old lady pulled Grace into her embrace.Listening from outside, Sabrina peeked in, feeling melancholic as she watched the scene.Aunt Grace’s life had been tough. She had been tricked when she was young, ending up with Sean Ford. As they had been overseas, she never knew that Sean Ford already had a wife and three kids. By the time she found out, Grace was already nine months pregnant, and would give birth in half a month.After she gave birth, Sean treated the two of them very well.Yet the good times only lasted until the child was five. That was when Sean’s orig
