Old Master Shaw was confused. “Grace, why…why are you suddenly mentioning the Payne family?”Grace smiled mournfully. “After all, the Payne family are locals of Star Island, and I’m from Star Island too. My family has been living here for more than a century, and now I’m the only one left. I… I can’t even ensure my own survival, that’s why I would like to…I would like to leave one of my children with the Payne family. But they definitely won’t want my child, so could you please put in a good word for me? To take this little son of mine who weighs less than three pounds?”Old Master Shaw did not know what to say.“As long as…as long as I can keep him alive, at least I’ll be preserving a part of the bloodline of the Summer family. I don’t even know whether the three of us will be executed once we arrive in South City, but even if we weren’t executed, this child weighs less than three pounds. How can we endure such suffering along with us? If Rose Quinton kills us the moment we arrive
Actually, he knew very well that Sean intended to leave the island. He had also retracted all of the infrastructure, factories, and the like back to South City. But Sean did not want to destroy the island. He even hated the thought of cutting ties completely with Ben Payne. Maybe in the future, there might be a chance for them to cooperate. Sean was not a stupid man, he would not destroy opportunities for development with his own two hands. Sean asked to see the old man not only to suppress him, but also to comfort him.At that moment, Old Master Shaw was looking at Ben Payne confidently.“Alright!” Ben agreed straightforwardly. Old Master Shaw heaved a sigh of relief. He returned to Grace’s ward and told her, “My dear girl, the matter has been agreed to. From now on, you have to give one of your sons to the Payne family.”Tears flowed down her face as she nodded. “I know…”“So let us sign an agreement, only the two of us shall know of this secret. And the Payne family. Neither
Rose immediately snorted. “You deserved it!”A hint of sorrow flashed across Sean’s face. This was the entire story of how Grace gave birth to her children on Star Island. Grace was desperate to be with Sean, she truly loved him, but she had no choice. Rose would never allow them to be together. To keep a close watch over Grace, Rose brought Grace back to South City, but she was forbidden from staying in the Ford family residence.There were no signs of her existence in the Ford family residence, not a piece of her clothing or an errant toothbrush. She was only Sean’s mistress, and the Ford family would never acknowledge Grace or her son. Old Master Shaw even had to fight Rose for Sebastian’s right to carry the Ford family name.This drama involving a man with two wives was finally suppressed by Old Master Shaw. After they returned to South City, the old man aided her in many, many aspects. Because of that, Grace was always very grateful to the old man. She even thought of him as he
And Old Master Shaw asked Grace to forget the child and never ever mention him again.That was why, until the moment Grace passed away, Old Master Shaw clearly knew what she was trying to say and yet he still kept the truth hidden. Because the moment the secret was exposed, it would cause problems in both South City and Star Island. But Old Master Shaw could not predict the following actions that Sebastian took, and neither could he control him. Sebastian’s strength and influence that he amassed abroad had far surpassed the old man’s expectations. He also did not expect Sebastian to be so determined to visit Star Island.Later on, when his entire focus shifted to Selene, he started to lose all his fair-mindedness, all his just and equitableness, maybe because his age was starting to catch up with him. But he kept his promise all along and never exposed the secret to anyone. He thought he would take this secret with him to the grave, but to save his granddaughter, the old man finally
When Old Master Shaw was telling Sebastian about everything that happened in the past, Selene and both her parents were also listening. A range of expressions flitted across their faces. Initially, before Old Master Shaw exposed the secret, their faces were filled with worry. Especially Selene. She saw with her own two eyes how Sebastian took down the island so effortlessly. He was too capable and powerful. They could not compete against him.If Sebastian did not believe the old man, the three of them might turn into lost souls under the wrath of his gun in the next second.However, when the three members of the Lynn family listened to Old Master Shaw telling the story of what had happened between the Ford family and the Payne family, their eyebrows had already smoothed out. They knew the old man had a trump card hidden up his sleeve. They were absolutely certain now that Sebastian would let them live thanks to the old man, in the future, he might even treat them as valuable guests o
The little girl’s palm print stood out on Selene’s cheek.Selene gasped. “You…”Aino was laughing so hard, her head bobbed up and down. “Hehe, Selene, you should thank me, you’re prettier now. You were so skinny your face was nothing but bones, and together with the white bandages on your head, you look really, really ugly. But now that I gave you a slap, you’re not so ugly anymore, so you feel grateful to me, right?”Selene trembled. “I…Aino Scott, I’ll hit you until you…”Before she could finish her sentence, Sabrina had pulled Aino into her arms. Selene raised her hand in mid-air but did not dare slap the little girl’s cheek. Though she knew Sebastian would not dare to harm her because of her grandfather, still she did not dare return the little girl’s slap.But Old Master Shaw was angry. He looked at Sebastian, and scolded sternly. “Sebastian! You know full well how tough it was growing up. Aino is your daughter. If you want to groom her into a talent, you have to be strict wi
“What nonsense is that!” Hearing Sabrina’s words, Natasha jumped up in anger and pointed at her. Lincoln’s fingers were almost poking into Sabrina’s face. “You shameless woman! How can you be so brazen…”“Swoosh!”Out of nowhere, a knife appeared in Sebastian’s hand. It was a short and yet an incredibly sharp knife, but it glowed coolly in the light. It was clean and dry, without a single speck of blood on its blade. And yet Lincoln’s finger that was almost poked into Sabrina’s cheek fell to the ground soon after the swoosh of the knife was heard. Sebastian’s actions were incredibly fast. So fast that Lincoln did not even feel the pain even though his own index finger had been cut off.By the time he recovered, Sebastian was already hugging Aino into his arms, a hand covering her eyes and the other on her ear, not letting her see or hear the miserable situation. Then he left, carrying Aino in his arms.Lincoln wailed in pain and agony. “Ouch…my finger! My finger is gone!!”Sebasti
[Fine! It’s not that I don’t dare, I just can’t bring myself to do it.][So my dear cousin, you better tell me whether Sabrina is in danger.]Kingston replied, [If she is, what do you plan to do?][If the Old Man Shaw dares to wrongly accuse and frame Sabrina again, Ruth and I will kill him! I don’t care whose grandfather he is!]Kingston sighed at Yvonne’s message.She continued. [And, we couldn’t do anything to the Lynn family when they were on Star Island. But now that they’re back, even though Sabrina and Sebastian can’t do much to them, Ruth and I can! We will try our best to make them die horrible deaths!]Kingston only replied to her message a moment later.[Don’t worry, just based on the strong bond of friendship you, Ruth and Sabrina share, Master Sebastian and Sabrina would never allow you two little girls to risk your lives. Don’t worry, Master Sebastian won’t allow Sabrina to suffer any harm, neither will he let her enemies off the hook so easily. You and Ruth can ju
