“How much will it cost for you to tell my grandfather that you bought the bracelet from a pawn shop and that this marriage contract is a fake?”
“I never got my bracelet from any pawn shop.” Sixt was quick to defend, masking the anger he felt from her words. She must really think he was here to leech off her family. With a dark frown, she uttered, “My grandpa likes you for goddame some reason, but I can't and will never see you as my lawfully wedded husband.” Her voice came out cold. He is here to swindle her family's money. And she will never see him different from a leech! She raised her chin at him, “These are the three rules you are going to live by if you want this to work.” Sabrina's voice is cold. “So, listen… We only pretend to be affectionate in this house or when grandpa is around, but outside? We act like strangers! That bed…” She pointed at the king-size bed, “You're not allowed to share it with me! Don't meddle in my business and most importantly, you must not have any improper thoughts or physical contact with me.” Hearing all this, Sixt inhales, looking her in the eye, “Honestly? I really have no interest in you or being in this marriage. In fact, I'm only being reluctant to go against the old Master Zane’s wishes… not because of anything other than the fact that I am grateful for his help in saving my life when he could have left me to die.” He is nothing but a hypocrite in disguise! Anyone in his shoes will lie just to rub shoulders with the Zane family! Just then, Sabrina paused. Parting her lips, she gasped, inhaling and exhaling deeply like she was slowly going out of breath. “Ah!” She muttered, squeezing her face as she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Sixt noticed and just as she was about to fall, he held her still. The pain intensified, and Sabrina could sense that the pain was not just any pain, it was her old problem of angina… This had been her long-standing agony. Over the years, the Zane family had consulted many renowned doctors and physicians, but none could cure her completely. At some point, they gave up searching for its cure, because no doctor seems to be capable enough to treat her without the pain recurring after a while. They could only prescribe painkillers to ease her agonizing pain and suffering. “What’s wrong? Are you ok?” Sixt was shocked by her pale face. “It's… it's…Ahh!” She groaned, clutching her hands to her chest, squeezing her face as the unbearable pain kicked in even more. To Sixt's utter astonishment, Sabrina was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. A moment later, she actually fainted! This gave Sixt quite a fright! He was alone in a room with this wealthy young lady, and now she had suddenly passed out. How could he possibly explain this? While calling out to the maids outside the door to quickly fetch someone, he carefully carried the pale-faced Sabrina and laid her gently on the bed. Unexpectedly, as he held her, he suddenly felt a continuous stream of warmth flowing from his hands into Sabrina. Her bloodless complexion gradually began to regain its rosy hue! Soon, Master Zane rushed in, hurrying to the bedside. He grasped his granddaughter's hand and reached out to feel her forehead, his face filled with anxiety. Sixt was pushed aside by the worried old man. He looked thoughtfully at his hands, feeling the lingering warmth from just now. Could he really possess those miraculous abilities his father had? "Forgive me, son, she often experiences chest pains and occasionally she faints like this. We've consulted many famous doctors, but none of them have been able to cure her..." The old man sighed, wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing the worried expression on Zane's face, Sixt felt a pang of sympathy. "Let me see what's wrong," Sixt said, stepping forward to sit beside Sabrina. He tentatively placed his hand on her forehead, trying to verify his suspicion. Sure enough, the moment his hand touched Sabrina, that warm current reappeared! Sixt closed his eyes, sensing the flow of energy. He noticed that the energy seemed to be directed towards Sabrina's heart, as if there was a black hole there. "Sir, does Sabrina suffer from a special kind of angina?" Zane instantly understood. "Son, do you, like your father, also possess that miraculous ability?“ Zane exclaimed excitedly, "Son, if you can cure my granddaughter's illness, you will be the benefactor of my entire family!" In his excitement, Zane almost dropped to his knees with a thud! All the doctors had disappointed him. He worried about his granddaughter's health and also about the future of the family lineage. If Sixt could cure her illness, the old man would die without regrets! Sixt quickly reached out to support Zane. "Grandpa, please don't say that! I will do my best!" Sixt calmed his mind and focused his attention, placing his hand on Sabrina's chest.

Slowly, Sixt felt all eyes on him. He narrowed his eyes at Larry, looking down at the pictures. ‘You bastard.’ He thought. He obviously never visited the hospital at night. And those clothes, it belonged to Larry and not him! This obviously looked forged! Even if he tries to defend himself, the hate look he was already getting was enough reason to know that these people wouldn't even believe him! Larry must have planned this! He must have gotten everything done before coming here, and now the pictures looked so real, enough to prove to Mr. Fin that Sixt was indeed the killer! He can't wait for him to find out that he's the Mr. Fin he was eagerly waiting to see! And he just threw himself under the bus by adding Sixt's head to his photoshopped picture, when in reality, Larry was the one walking out of the hospital, dressed in a gray joggers and black sweatshirt.“It is true!” “A murderer is in our midst!” Two people shouted, their voices filled with fear.“You piece of garbage!” Mr

“It's you… I remember you now…” Cooper uttered as he got to see Sixt's face clearly. Though his old age came with a short term memory, one couldn't completely forget the man who helped him so easily. “You were with old Zane. You were the one who saved my life years ago.” After a brief silence, Sixt nods calmly. “I remember I paid you. I paid you greatly. I can't remember the amount, but I know it was up to a million.” The man's wrinkled face caught Emilia's attention. She was tempted to ask if it was true Sixt collected something that huge to treat an old man.“I didn't force you. You willingly gave it to me.” Sixt narrowed his eyes. Even while he never touched that money, he didn't see the use to bring that up.“There's no point in digging the pass up. You're looking at the wrong man if you need help with Mr. Fin.” Sixt said sternly.Mr. Cooper could barely speak, as it dawned on him that he was going to be doomed for life! “Don't get on your knees for this loser! He's nothing but

Hearing that, Larry's head buzzed. He immediately felt tongue-tied as he took a few glances at his body. “I thought we were friends, Sixt?” Sabrina showed up with a faint smile. She turned to Emilia, then to Sixt, “I guess we are even now, you've gotten your revenge but what what cost? Taking a property I desire just to spite me.”“What are you implying?” Sixt asked.“Larry is right, but was using Ms. Emilia's money to get back at us really necessary? Anyway, congratulations.”Sixt studied her for a second, “You think the money was paid by The Rodriguez?” “I don't think. I know. You've gotten the influence from her but for how long? Real men, stand up for themselves…” “I don't owe you an explanation.” Sixt frowned. “Lean on her money while you can. Let's see how high it will take you.” Sabrina said with a note of finality before exiting the place.Sixt could sense the pain in every word she threw at him. He never knew she needed this so badly. He had never seen her so hurt. Like h

In less than two hours, the fundraising was completed. Dressed in a black suit, the host spoke through the mic, announcing donations to the people.“2 million from the Kelvin family! Myles Resources, 3.6 million! Montenegro family, 5 million!” He started with the lowest amount, and gradually, he called out the names of the family with the biggest amount in donation.The host paused, his eyes glaring at the crowd. He looked down at his file with a cocky face before clearing his throat, “The Rodriguez family, 20 million!” The crowd erupted in applause, turning their gaze to the Rodriguez table with a stunted gaze. They gave the young lady a look of admiration. This was too good to be true! 20 million was lost to the kids of this orphanage. She must really have a kind heart.They looked at her like a queen, clapping and cheering her on! No one could beat this! No one stood a chance against such a huge amount! “And the last on my list is Ms. Sabrina, from Zane Group! With the sum of 2

Sabrina smiles faintly, “Thank you. Excuse me.” She said before leaving them to themselves. It was obvious she was intruding in whatever they had going on… it almost seemed like she was trying to be protective of him. From who? Her?“You're not uncomfortable with what I just did, are you?” Emilia asked innocently, heaving a deep breath as Sabrina walked away.Sixt shook his head, “Of course not. In fact, I know you meant well.” He saw what she was trying to do.Sixt only had the opportunity of seeing her twice. First was when he helped with her flat tire, second was when he walked out of the conference hall days ago. After seeing him on the front page of Europe's daily news, something about Sixt sparked her interest. They became close, and coincidentally, they were both invited to this fundraising. And of course, she didn't forget that he was favoured by the almighty Mr Fin… she guess his influence must have given Sixt this privilege!“The host is here,” Then slowly, everyone took t

“How dare that bastard?” Dustin frowned, spacing the room with so much bitterness and pain.This was too much for him. His father just told him how much their family's new worth was reduced due to some unforeseen circumstances. Never in his wildest dreams did he think working with Larry and Sabrina would bring this much damage to his father's business. He wasn't sure if last night's scandal was the reason for this, but could there be other reasons? This had never happened before! Could that bastard have gotten Mr. Fin to toy with him? No… he can't… Sixt was still standing next to hmm when he got that message!Just then, the door pushed open and the moment Mr. Jackson himself walked in, he landed Dustin a resounding slap.“You good-for-nothing idiot!” He scolded harshly. Not caring that Dustin was in the midst of his friends.“Get out of my house this instant! I knew you were going to cause some damage when I saw those reporters!” He shouted, his eyes burning with a cold gaze. “The r
