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
Selene did not know who it was from when she received that threatening phone call the day before. However, the moment Nigel blocked that blade for Aino, Selene immediately understood.Nigel came to Star Island to protect Sabrina.Not only that, everyone on Star Island realized that he had taken control of the whole island during the time Sebastian was silent.Holden only realized when he settled back into Poole Manor after Nigel was stabbed. Everyone in Poole Manor had already been switched for Sebastian’s people, and Poole Manor had already been completely locked down.At that moment, everyone in Poole Manor, Harry, Holden, and the Lynn family suddenly realized.Everything was an illusion.The peace they thought they had, as well as the strength, was only a surface-level appearance.In truth, they had already fallen prey to Sebastian.At that moment, Holden was deep in thought, and Harry was on his seat, stunned. The entire Payne family was in a state of helplessness. They wer
Old Master Shaw’s voice turned sorrowful, “Sebastian, can’t you do me this favor?”“Favor?” Sebastian calmly asked on the phone, “If it weren’t for you, Selene would have already died six years ago. Six years ago, she was pregnant with an unknown child and somehow suffered a miscarriage. She even told me that the child was mine. Do you think she would still be alive if you weren’t standing in front of her?”Old Master Shaw was speechless.Sebastian said, “Also, six years later, I found my wife, and she did so many things to my wife. If it weren’t for you, don’t you think she would already have died a hundred times over?”The calmness of Sebastian’s voice showcased how cold and stubborn he was.On the other end, Old Master Shaw resisted his tears, “Sebastian! No matter how despicable Selene is, she has never killed anyone. I don’t think her crimes are worthy of death.”Sebastian replied, “Never killed anyone?”After that, he laughed coldly, “Do you think the Lynn family has never
Sabrina finally lost her smile.She suppressed her anger and asked word by word, “May I ask Old Master Shaw, have you ever seen me seducing anyone with your own eyes?”Old Master Shaw said, “Was Sebastian not one? How about Nigel? Did you not do it to Zayn? There was also Holden of the Payne family in Star Island. He was about to be Selene’s boyfriend, but you managed to seduce him in two days. Weren’t you snatching him away from Selene intentionally?”“Correct! Haha! You’re absolutely right!” Sabrina was so angered by Old Master Shaw that she burst out laughing and went along with the lines of Old Master Shaw’s words, “That’s right, I seduce men wherever I go! I wasn’t properly educated when I was young. How could I compare to your granddaughter? Your granddaughter is the jewel of the Shaw family! What am I? Haha!”“I’m just a woman who went to prison!”“Isn’t stealing the men of other women something ex-convict women do?”“Old Master Shaw, don’t you think you’re wasting your ti
On the other end, Old Master Shaw smiled.Sebastian looked at Sabrina, stunned.He never expected Sabrina to agree to Old Master Shaw’s request.Sabrina and Old Master Shaw were still on the phone, “However, Mr. Shaw, if your secret is not worth it, or if you’re lying to me, you’ll never meet your granddaughter again!”Old Master Shaw’s tone was much more relaxed, “Don’t worry, for my whole life, I’ve always been a man of great integrity. If I said I had an earth-shattering secret, then I have one. Your mother-in-law, Sebastian’s mother, wanted me to keep that secret. If I hadn’t been forced, I planned on keeping it to myself my whole life.”“It’s not just for me. It’s for Sebastian’s mother’s sake.”“However, now that Sebastian has effortlessly taken down Star Island, it’s actually better for him to know this secret.”Sabrina said, “What’s the secret?”Old Master Shaw smiled coldly, “I’ll tell you after my granddaughter is back in South City! Also, if this secret is that great
“Hahaha, hehehe…” Sitting in between her parents, Aino laughed until she could not control herself anymore and almost fell to the ground.The sound of their laughter rudely awakened Nigel, who was resting in the adjoining hospital ward.The pure white ceiling entered his eyes the moment he opened them. He turned to look at his surroundings, and it was filled with the same pure, clinical white. He then dropped his eyes down and saw the bedcovers. They were also in that same clinical white. A bad feeling engulfed his chest. At that moment, Nigel felt as if he had even stopped breathing.Did he stop breathing?He sat in silence and quietly listened to the voices coming from the room beside his.It was a clean, childish pitch. “Daddy, Mommy, when are we going home, I...I miss my friends from kindergarten. I haven’t been to school for three days, Daddy.” Aino asked guiltily as she laid on her mother’s thighs while her head rested on her father’s stomach. Sebastian’s tone was incred
Aino jumped up in shock. Sabrina and Sebastian looked toward the neighboring hospital ward simultaneously. The doctor did mention yesterday afternoon that Nigel would wake up this morning.Both of them immediately climbed down from the bed and went to the neighboring room. Each held one of Aino’s hands in theirs. The moment they arrived, they saw Nigel lying on the bed and crying like a baby. Nigel was not at all surprised to see Sebastian and Sabrina walk up to him. He looked at Sebastian with tears flowing from his eyes, “Sebastian, I…Did I die just like this? I…I’m not like you, I’m not married yet. I still want to marry a loyal and faithful wife like Sabrina, I…I don’t even have a child. The three of you can be together forever, but what about me? I can’t! Sob, sob, sob…I haven’t lived my life fully yet. I don’t want to die!”Sebastian barked out a cold laugh, “If you still have your eyes on your sister-in-law, I can consider sending you to heaven immediately!”Nigel sat
