All these years, Marcus held on to his wishful thinking that Sabrina was the Shaw family’s granddaughter, and yet Old Master Shaw kept hurting her. It wasn’t just Sabrina, anyone else in her position would be equally irate and incensed. And what’s more, Sabrina wasn’t a greedy woman. Marcus apologized to her sincerely. “I’m sorry…”Sabrina didn’t take it to heart. “It’s alright, I know you meant well. Enough about me, how are you and Yvonne?”At the mention of Yvonne, a smile appeared on his face. “She’s very interesting, cute and lively.”“Then be nice to her. Her cousin is Sebastian’s top bodyguard cum driver. If you harm her in any way, her cousin will cut you into teeny tiny little pieces of meat!”Marcus laughed. “I know, I would never dare go against her wishes, I will treat Yvonne like a princess.”Sabrina laughed. “That’s more like it!”After a pause, she looked at Nigel again. “Master Nigel, you should go home. Thank you for your concern, but my husband can solve this proble

She told herself that she still had Sebastian and she still had Aino. They were a happy family of three. She craved more from Sebastian, to calm her anxious wounds. The moment her words left her mouth, the people on the other side immediately felt like laughing, but didn’t dare to, they didn’t even dare cover their mouths!Luckily, Sabrina knew when to stop. “I won’t get in the way of your work. Come back soon, I can’t fall asleep without you. I’m hanging up soon, bye dear.”Her continuous sweet tone and words made him feel refreshed. In the past, he hated sweet things. Even his coffee was the most bitter, most concentrated coffee available on the market worldwide. And now, he didn’t realize when it had started but he drank his coffee with a cube of sugar. He found that the fragrant coffee tasted particularly delicious when it was laced with a hint of sweetness.That night, Sebastian returned home late. Tip-toeing into his house, he thought Sabrina would’ve fallen asleep, but noticed t

A blush spread across her cheeks. When she was done changing into a new set of clothes, she walked out of the bedroom and headed to the dining room, but still, Sebastian was nowhere in sight.Seeing her, Aunt Lewis said, “Madam, Sir left for the office more than an hour ago. He seems particularly busy these days.”“Yeah, it’s fine.” Sabrina turned and walked to the balcony. The balcony was filled with various species of potted plants, all of them green and lush with life. Taking advantage of the spare time before breakfast, Sabrina tended to the plants. Once again, she was reminded of her mother. Even though they had been poor, her mother had green fingers and loved plants. In the past, Sabrina could never figure out why her mother was so different from the other women in the village, even though she was just another poverty-stricken villager?Her mother could play the piano well. She loved nature too. She even loved to wash Sabrina’s hair with water soaked in Jasmine flowers. Her moth

And in comparison to her, Selene was the absolute opposite. Did Selene ever show even the slightest trace of integrity? Mindy, the cousin he had been spoiling for over twenty years, was no different. The more he looked at Mindy, the more disgusted he was by her. However, the thought of Mindy had reminded him of Ruth, which was why he decided to call Sabrina to ask about her."I'm sorry, Sabrina," he said apologetically. "I guess I have been getting ahead of myself, I want to apologize to you about that. I won't force you into it anymore. We are still good friends, though, aren't we?""Yes. I will always see you as a good friend of mine. Is this why you are calling?" Sabrina's tone eased."Not really. You received a call from your friend Ruth just now right before you left. It has been a few days since she last showed up for work. Did something happen to her?"Sabrina became increasingly anxious at the mention of Ruth, but she knew that she couldn't mention this to anyone just yet. She

Sabrina narrowed her eyes in contempt. The woman paled in fear and continued to explain frantically. "It's just...your friend's parents really did borrow a million dollars from us. They said that they needed the money for their other daughter, who was sick and needed treatment to survive. They said they are sending the other daughter here to me and that they didn't care if I sold her off as long as she is alive. I was only doing this because they couldn't pay me back, it's not like I could just give out a million dollars like that, right? That's why-""I get it." Sabrina refused to look at the woman and tightened her arms around Ruth."Pl-please have mercy on us," the woman pleaded."Clothes!" Sabrina roared again."I'll have them hurry!"Very soon, the woman came back with two enormous bags of clothes."Shower room!"The woman hurriedly took Sabrina and Ruth to the shower room."Ruth, take a shower and put on some clothes. I'll take you home.""Thank you, Sabrina. Thank you so much,"
