Chapter 956
Minerva was silent.This was the first time in her life that someone had called her beautiful. The dark spot in her heart that always existed suddenly shrunk considerably.Her smile turned much sweeter than before, “Thank you for the compliment. You’re quite good-looking yourself. You must have looked dashing when you saved people.”As she spoke, Minerva suddenly blushed, “It’s just that…you’re much too old for me. From the looks of it, you’re more than ten years older than me. I can address you as uncle. Otherwise, I would’ve pursued you.”Nigel did not say anything.Since he grew close with Sebastian, he was much brighter and more optimistic than before. He wanted to start a new life, returned to South City, and helped his parents manage the Conor Group. If he was lucky, he might meet a nice girl with a good personality like Sabrina, get married, and start a family.Nigel had marriage plans, but he never thought of getting himself a teenage wife who was more than ten years youn
Chapter 957
Sabrina smiled slightly in Nigel’s direction, then turned to face away from him.She did not have an ounce of love for him. Only friendship. The familial love she had for Zayn was much stronger than the friendship she shared with Nigel. However, there was an added sense of gratitude. Besides this, there was nothing else.At this moment, Sabrina focused her complete attention on her husband. He captured Selene and both her parents' home. The irony was that they came full circle and were right where they started, with her enemies alive and well. Moreover, they were about to step onto this piece of land again, safe and sound. All of this was thanks to Selene’s all-mighty and omnipotent grandfather. The elderly man tried his best to kill her six years ago.Sabrina let out a cold laugh at the thought of Old Master Shaw. She felt disgusted as if she was about to vomit. However, she had no choice but to face him. She wondered what the invaluable secret he held was. She was desperate to kno

“What?!” Sebastian was harshly taken aback.Sabrina was equally shocked too.Sabrina and Sebastian made various predictions about the invaluable secret that Old Master Shaw held on the journey to the clubhouse. However, they could not have guessed that Sebastian had a younger brother who shared the same father and mother as he did. A younger brother.Such a calm and collected man as Sebastian could not even help it and stared in wide-eyed shock at Old Master Shaw. He had a younger brother? He was also born to his parents. Did that mean his brother carried the Ford family name too? He did not know what he was feeling for a split second, whether it was excitement or something else. He found it hard to sit still. Sabrina reached out and held his hand, and he then managed to calm himself. At this moment, he had a strong feeling. He could almost guess… With a shift of his eyes, he noticed Sabrina was looking at him too. She obviously seemed to harbor the same assumption as

“Oh, right!” Rose added, “Don’t dream of escaping, it’s impossible for you to escape overseas when you’re so heavily pregnant. As long as you’re on this island, I can find you even if you crawl into a rat hole.”After saying her vicious piece, Rose left the little marital home that Sean bought for Grace. “No…please don’t do this to me, my children, my two children…” Grace sat on the floor, sobbing helplessly.She did not have any family. She was all alone, and the man she loved the most in the entire world was Sean. She had two more family members, the children in her tummy. She refused to sit back and accept defeat. She would seek out Sean and fight for the chance to give birth to her two children. She had to fight for her children’s right to live even if her reputation would be thoroughly ruined or the whole world cursed her for being a mistress.Seven months into her pregnancy, her belly was huge. Grace fumbled to the house where Sean and Rose were staying, but the servants r

Grace was thoroughly despaired. However, Grace felt like a warm bowl of soup had been poured into her chest when she heard someone address her as their ‘dear girl’. At the same, her tears rolled down her face like a string of pearls.“Dear girl, dear girl, don’t cry, what’s wrong, what happened, tell me.” The middle-aged man’s tone turned even more gentle.Her voice hoarse from her tears, she asked, “Can I ask, who are you?”She had never seen this middle-aged man on the island before. She could feel he was not any ordinary old man. He exuded an aura of absolute dominance between his eyes, like a warrior who returned from battle. Her guess was accurate. The man she encountered was Old Master Shaw in his prime. Old Master Shaw was in his early 50s back then. The Shaw family and the Ford family were old family friends. The Fords were businessmen, while the Shaws were military men. Although the two families did not have any business ties, the close relationship between them had be

“What? You’re…a descendant of the Summer family?” Old Master Shaw looked at Grace in disbelief. “Dear child, your father is Joseph Summer, the old leader of the island?”Grace looked at Old Master Shaw. “You should know my father, he’s the former leader of this island.”Old Master Shaw was dumbfounded. He knew Joseph Summer not because he was the former leader of Star Island. After all, he had just arrived here. He knew Joseph because back when he was just a teenager, he had studied in the best military school abroad, and that was where he had accepted financial aid from Joseph. It wasn’t a big amount, only a hundred dollars or so. But he always believed a drop of kindness should be returned tenfold, or even more. Old Master Shaw's heart ached for her sad encounter. “My dear girl! Don’t worry, leave this to me! I will beat him until he divorces his wife and officially take you as his legal and rightful wife. But, you mentioned just now the person you love is Sean Ford?”Grace nodd

When he met Sean and his wife, Old Master Shaw dragged the words out between his lips and told them his intention to visit their home.Before the words left his mouth, Rose started to cry hysterically. Not only that, she even fell to her knees in front of him. “Uncle Shaw, you…you watched me grow up, you watched Sean grow up too. You know Sean and I are childhood friends. We attended college together, we studied abroad together, we fought hard, and built the Ford Group together. We already have three sons together. Do you want to see my perfect family fall to ruins just like that?”Seeing her cry and wail like this, Old Master Shaw was infuriated. He questioned her furiously, “Since you know the importance of your family, then why would you plan everything yourself and to find Sean a mistress?”As he said that, Old Master Shaw coughed slightly in guilt. He had no right to question her on this, because he himself was a married man who had another secret family. That was why he regr

“This time, no matter what, someone has to be sacrificed, and what’s wrong with sacrificing Grace Summer alone? I already tried my best to reduce our losses as much as I could. That’s right, doing so is unfair to Grace. But there is nothing much that is fair in this world. As the only wife to the director of the Ford Group, I have to be ruthless!” Rose was a gifted orator, she sounded sad and pitiful, and yet loyal and righteous. Old Master Shaw had nothing to say in rebuke. In the end, the old man left Sean and Rose’s house with his tail tucked between his feet. But, how was he going to explain himself to Grace when he got home? That night, Old Master Shaw wandered along the streets of Star Island until the wee hours of the morning. The next morning, he trudged home with heavy footsteps. The moment he stepped into the living room, he saw Grace sitting on the sofa with her pregnant belly. It was obvious that Grace did not have a wink of sleep throughout the night. Seeing the old
