"In those eight years, you must have heard about Selene's mother, am I right?""Old Master Shaw, please cut to the chase!" Sabrina's patience was running out. She had managed to keep her temper in check before simply for Sebastian's sake. No matter how horribly the old Master Shaw had treated her or how he had misunderstood and suppressed her, he still was the man who saved Aunt Grace and Sebastian. On top of that, even Holden, whom she had only spent two days with, was once saved by the old Master Shaw. Sebastian owed the old man a lot and Sabrina didn't want to put Sebastian in a difficult situation. She could put up with anything for her husband."Since when have you started planning this?" he asked.Sabrina smiled calmly. "Old Master, I am a woman who has not graduated from college and has been to prison, so my ability to comprehend things is horrible. Just cut to the chase, would you?""You've always wanted to replace Selene and pretended to be my granddaughter, haven't you?"
Sabrina hadn't a clue as to who called Sebastian. She looked up at her husband as he continued to speak to whoever was on the other side of the line."Okay, I'll wait for you here," he said.After he ended the call, she asked, "Who was it?"Sebastian sneered. "Axel."Axel? For a split moment, Sabrina couldn't remember who that was. Then, she blurted out. "Axel, is that someone from the Poole Family? What's his relationship with Alex?""Axel is Alex's second uncle, also the father of Ms. Emma Poole who joined hands with almost every wealthy lady in South City to organize that stage to humiliate you a few months ago."Sabrina thought for a few seconds, before responding in awe, "So this Axel is coming to interrogate me as well?"Sebastian shook his head. "Well, no. He is kind of coming at me."He paused for a moment then continued to explain. "Axel had provided Star Island with one third of the weapons under his military power, and now all those weapons are taken away by me with
"Of course," Sebastian replied."And yet, what have you done to my daughter Emma half a year ago? She is my blood!" Axel roared. "But still I didn't come looking for trouble for how cruel you were to her, while you continue your ruthless way with me over and over again!""If I may ask, when have I ever been ruthless to you, Uncle Axel?" Sebastian questioned coldly.Axel was laughing incredulously at this point. "When? All those weapons on Star Island ended up in your hands. Is there anyone else in the world that could surpass your ability to take advantage of the situation? Those weapons belong to me, Axel Poole! Mine! I was the one who invested those on Star Island, shouldn't you return them to me?"Axel had bet everything on supporting Star Island. Though he was helping the old Master Shaw, his main purpose had been to take revenge in his daughter's place and completely wipe Sebastian out on the island. Never had he imagined that Sebastian had been setting up a trap for him to wa
Sebastian did not intend to go easy on Axel despite the fact that he had been rendered speechless. The one whom Sebastian owed his life to was the old Master Shaw, not Axel. The only reason why Axel thought he could stand there and confront Sebastian was solely because he was taking advantage of his partnership with the old Master Shaw. As easy as that might sound, it would be more challenging for him to escape the situation he had gotten himself into. One assault after another, starting from Emma's merciless attack on Sabrina to Axel trying to kill Sebastian, Sebastian didn't even have the chance to confront Axel before. Now that he came to Sebastian on his own, Sebastian would not let him off easily. With a voice as cold and composed as ever, Sebastian deadpanned, "Mr. Poole, your hatred towards me has shown in every way possible. You sent your daughter to seduce me ten years ago, and when she failed, she became resentful towards me. Just how stupid do you think a man who was exile
"Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Poole, about just how many years I've been waiting for those weapons of yours. Based on my personal financial capabilities, to actually purchase those weapons with my own money would be far too costly for me to bear, but now, I managed to obtain them without spending a penny! I have plotted for six whole years to set up this trip for you! And you just jumped right into it. I must say, I am extremely thankful, Uncle Axel!""Why you...!" Axel raised his arm abruptly, his eyes widened in anger as he stared daggers at Sebastian. He wanted desperately to punch Sebastian's skull in, but his arm fell to his side helplessly. He couldn't unless he had a death wish, because Axel realized that he no longer had any leverage against Sebastian."Uncle Axel, if it weren't for you trying to harm me over and over again, how would I have succeeded in taking over one third of your weapons? You asked for this. Back in Kidon City, you were no match to Alex even when you ha
The figure that suddenly appeared before Jane was a monstrous doll almost half the size of a normal person. The doll bore its teeth mischievously and the body was decorated with musical notes."What on earth is this??" Jane screamed in her mind. She was so frightened that she was actually in tears.Aino, who was holding the doll with an innocent and proud expression, looked at her and asked, "Aunt Jane, are...are you scared?"Jane tried her best to ignore her fear upon hearing Aino's sweet innocent voice, and looked down to find the child holding the doll up as though she was showing it off to Jane."Auntie, this doll is for you."Jane wasn't sure how to respond."You little thing, if Aunt Jane gets sick because you scared her, Uncle Alex is going to teach you a lesson!" Alex reached out and pinched Aino on the nose.Jane immediately felt bad for the child and stopped him. "Alex, don't scare the child!""Auntie, this is for you. Do you like it?" Aino asked with her head tilting
"Pretty Aunt Ruth...!" Upon seeing Ruth, Aino wiggled her way out of Jane's arms immediately and ran towards Ruth. “Pretty Aunt Ruth, I have something fo-"Before Aino could finish, Sabrina scooped her up and covered her mouth. "Stop it. You are going to scare Aunt Ruth in broad daylight!"Aino paused for a moment before nodding. "Ohhh, roger, Mother!"Aino then continued to hurry her way towards Ruth.Ryan, too, was shouting enthusiastically. "Uncle Sebastian, Aunt Sabrina, little sis Aino! I wanted to pick you guys up from the airport but Ruth wouldn't let me, so we have no choice but to come meet you guys here instead."Ruth punched Ryan lightly. "Aino calls me pretty Aunt Ruth, and you call Aino little sis. So what should you be calling me then?"Ryan casted an evil smirk her way. "Ruth, do you believe me if I say I'm going to tame you tonight?""Sabrina, Sabrina!" Ruth immediately shouted. "Look at him, get Mr. Ford to teach him a lesson. He calls Mr. Ford uncle anyways."
The sound of Emma's chilling sneer immediately came through the other side of the line. "Dad! Of course I did everything you told me to!""That's my girl!" Axel gritted out."Aren't uncle and my cousin trying to cut us out?" Emma deadpanned, her voice cold. "Didn't Sebastian take over most of your weapons? Isn't he all about protecting that skank of a wife he has? We are going to sink our teeth into them even if it means death! Let them all catch rabies! That woman will be heading back as soon as possible! Soon, we can sit and enjoy all the drama!""Well, then, daddy can be assured. That's all for now!" Axel chuckled casually and hung up. After that, Axel left from the side door without announcing himself to his nephew and grandnephew.Over on the other side, no one noticed when Axel took his leave or that he made such a malicious phone call, Sebastian and the others remained cheerful in their conversations. The past two weeks in Star Island had been a complete success to Sebastian
