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
The man laughed coldly. “Did you know I’d be waiting?”Sabrina was speechless.She had not had any such thoughts.She had just been nervous, not knowing how he would deal with her. There was no point running away. She had seen firsthand a few days ago how this man dealt with his enemies. No matter where she fled to, she knew that after a while, Sebastian would find her.Unless she had a meticulous plan.If she could not run, she might as well face him.At the very least, Aunt Grace still needed her.She had simply wanted to steady herself before talking.That was what Sabrina had been thinking.Seeing her speechless, Sebastian looked on at her, his eyes containing a malicious glint. “You pretended to be honest, then pretended to be pitiful, all to earn my trust before you dealt with Selene? Your acting skills are really top notch, even Selene can’t compete with you. Her envy toward you is all surface level, just the whims of a little girl. Yet you, on the other hand, have such
“That is all.“If you think that my newfound arrogance from how you’ve treated me over the past two days was what caused me to push Selene today, then I won’t make that mistake again.”After she had spoken, Sabrina pushed Sebastian aside before entering her room. She started packing her belongings without delay.She had very little luggage, her possessions essentially only comprising the shoes that she already had on. She packed up her few clothes as well as some simple showering products. They were all stuffed into a ripped up bag.With her bag slung around her shoulder, Sabrina did not spare Sebastian a glance, nor did she utter any farewells before disappearing into the night.Sebastian was left standing at the window, looking down at the disappearing silhouette downstairs.She had left decisively, without hesitation.He suddenly noticed that the two of them were quite similar.They were both capable of being very gentle, yet when it came time to sever all relationships, the
“Haven’t you gotten what you wanted? Why are you here?” Sabrina was exasperated.“Sabrina, I thought you were so much better than this. You were telling me how much Young Master Sebastian loved and cared for you, and that you could snatch away my place as his fiance, but it turns out that you’re actually just a laborer here? If I’m not mistaken, you were also working here twenty odd days ago?”Twenty odd days ago. That was when she had been kidnapped by Selene.Sabrina looked calmly at the arrogant woman in front of her, suppressing her desire to grab her neck and choke her to death.She really despised the Lynn family.She had never understood why her mother had left her with the Lynn family when she was twelve. What relationship had her parents have with them? Sabrina knew that her family had been poor, but even if she was so poor she had to beg, Sabrina still wouldn’t have turned to rely on anyone else.Throughout the entire eight years, she had never gotten even a bit of love
She only had herself to rely on.Sabrina had already thought it through last night. To protect herself and the child in her belly, anyone who would approach her, intent on harming her, would be met with death by that brick.It had definitely been useful, seeing as she had successfully scared Selene away.Sabrina threw the brick aside.It would no longer be effective now that she had revealed it. Anyway, she still had other things in her bag to protect herself with. Watching as Selene ran off in the distance, Sabrina headed in to work at the site.Following an entire day of laboring, Sabrina found that she was not that tired. Instead, she found working here much more relaxing than the office, where she always had to be on edge, worrying about being discharged.Working at the construction site was dirtier and more labor intensive, but at least it didn’t exhaust her heart.Furthermore, there was a wide variety of food in the canteen, so she could stuff herself with good food.Af
“How?”There was a spark of amusement in Jade’s eyes. “I think we’ve scored a major victory this time. The child in Selene’s belly has allowed us to turn the tables, even getting Sabrina to suffer a huge fallout with Sebastian.”“However, if we want to use Sebastian to get rid of her, we still need to add oil to the flames.”“Is… there really a need to get rid of her?” Lincoln felt a chill in his heart, and could not help but ask.Jade glared at Lincoln in anger. “You still have a soft spot for Sabrina, and don’t want to get rid of her? How has she treated you? She wants to kill you, she wants to kill our entire family. She’s just as evil as her mother! They are just as despicable and shameless! Have you forgotten how her mother trapped and tricked you?“How could you be so forgetful?!“That fox, she is just as despicable and evil as her mother!“If not for our scheme yesterday, making it so that Sebastian witnessed her evil side, Sabrina would’ve really stolen him away from Sel
He would love her more.Selene obeyed her mother, and had shut off her phone for the whole afternoon.“Selene, wait for Sebastian’s call later, he will call soon.” Jade looked at her girl, smiling.“Mom, your methods are really useful.” Selene looked back at her mother as she smiled delicately.The two of them were about to leave together, but Lincoln remained still, his face frozen.“Dad, what’s wrong?” Selene pouted at her father.“What’s wrong? You’re still able to be so merry? Sebastian has been so concerned for you lately, while his mother’s condition has been deteriorating. Your marriage is right around the corner, but what do we do about the child in your belly?!”Selene was speechless. “Who’s child is it?! You’ve been pregnant for over two months, but neither me nor your mother knows. Who’s child is it?!” Lincoln roared.Selene was trembling as she shrunk into Jade’s arms. Tears had even started to fall.Her father had never yelled at her like that.Jade followed, p
Grace held on to Sabrina’s hand, tears suddenly flowing as she said weakly, “Sabbie, you’re finally here?”“Mother…” Sabrina sobbed quietly, “I’m sorry mother, I had some things to deal with today, that’s why I’m late.”She had rushed over from the construction site, only to be confronted by Lincoln at the bus stop. She had walked a distance after that in a daze, before only getting onto the bus at the next stop.That was why she was late to her visit.Knowing that Grace’s illness was worsening, Sabrina wanted nothing more than to stay by Grace’s side, but she could not lose her job either. No matter how exhausting and tedious that job was, it was still work.As a woman who had only recently gotten out of jail, it was very difficult to find a job, so she could not give this up. She crawled over to Grace’s side as she repeated over and over, “I’m sorry mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”“I’m fine, Sabbie. I know that you’re a hardworking child. You can’t lose your job. A woman should
