Ch. 1881..1890

Chapter 1881 Sabrina called out calmly. "Holden..."

"Sabrina...” He did not know what he should say. He had wanted to take her to the island and give her the most peaceful life. He wanted to accompany her to plant some flowers and grass every day and live a simple and idyllic life with her, but he never expected that things would turn out like that.

"Sabrina, just kill me!" said Holden miserably.

Sabrina shook her head and her voice was incomparably hoarse. "Holden, did you know? Your brother, who is my husband, had already drawn up the plan to divide the Ford Group in two and one of the two halves was yours.” Holden was speechless.

"Also, that large ship that stopped outside this island of yours was not filled with weapons that your brother wanted to use against you at all. It was filled with supplies on them. Supplies, do you know that?" Holden was speechless. He knew. How could he not know? When he had just gotten onboard, Malvolio had already told him.

"You can blame it on your fate that it had been unfair to you, but you had never been a mother, so you will never know how heartbroken a mother can get when she is at her weakest and most helpless. A woman without a husband had given birth to two children on the delivery bed, and she still had to hide from being hunted by the wife of her children's father. Tell me, if you were in her shoes, what should you do? Perhaps you would say that you wouldn't throw your child to others even if you had to die.

However, you are not a mother. Holden Payne! You are not a mother! You will never be able to understand what a mother feels. She had given birth to her children after being a hair's breadth away from death. This child had not even been into society yet, should she have taken everything away from him like that? Even if she was his mother, she had no right to do so! You weigh lighter than your brother back then. Your mother pitied you. She wanted to let you live so she had no choice but to give you to the Payne family. That was because under the circumstances back then, your life would be in more danger if you were to follow your mother. It was because your mother pitied the weak, so she had given the chance to live to the smaller one. Was she wrong?"

Holden was speechless. He did not say anything at all. He did not know what he should say. Did he feel regretful? Did he feel sorry for his mother? Did he feel sorry for his elder twin brother? It did not seem so. He had not met his mother before. He did not even have a single photo of her, so he did not have the slightest bit of impression of her.Therefore, he did not feel sorry for her. He smiled miserably and then he raised his head to look at the sky.

"Holden, when you're able to live, just live your life well. That's all I can say to you," Sabrina said to Holden calmly. This was the only encouragement she could have given him.

She hoped that he could understand, she hoped that he could reserve his energy and stop going against Malvolio. As long as he could keep his life, anything could have a fresh start. Did Holden understand that? Sabrina did not know, she turned around and walked out. She was truly hungry, and wanted to have some food. Otherwise, the baby in her belly would not be able to stand it.

"Sabrina!" Holden called out from behind her. Sabrina turned her head around to look at Holden.

"You...have to stay alive. Don't kill yourself, alright?” said Holden.

Sabrina could not answer him. At a crucial moment, she could only kill herself to protect her mother, husband, and child in South City, she left without looking back.

Just as she arrived at the door, she suddenly heard Isadora let out a sharp cry behind her "oh! ” Chapter 1881 Sabrina called out calmly. "Holden..."

"Sabrina...” He did not know what he should say. He had wanted to take her to the island and give her the most peaceful life. He wanted to accompany her to plant some flowers and grass every day and live a simple and idyllic life with her, but he never expected that things would turn out like that.

"You...have to stay alive. Don't kill yourself, alright?” said Holden.

Sabrina could not answer him. At a crucial moment, she could only kill herself to protect her mother, husband, and child in South City, she left without looking back.

Just as she arrived at the door, she suddenly heard Isadora let out a sharp cry behind her "oh! ”

Chapter 1882 Sabrina turned around and she saw Isadora suddenly falling to the ground and was craddling her foot with both her hands. Malvolio immediately ran over to support Isadora. "Isadora, what's the matter? Is your foot hurting again? What's the matter, Isadora?"

Isadora cried in pain. "Malvolio, I don't know why but my foot is suddenly having terribly sharp pain."

"Sit down and let me have a look," said Malvolio. Isadora sat on the ground and Malvolio took off Isadora's shoe. Only then did he see that pus was oozing out of the sole of Isadora's foot.

"It was still fine just now. what happened?" Malvolio looked at Isadora with confusion.

Isadora hung her head and looked at the floor, she was focused on keeping her eye on Holden just now that she accidentally stepped on a sharp pebble, and that pebble happened to poked on that ulcer that she had on the sole of her foot. Therefore, the pus filled ulcer that she had for many days was cut open. The pus kept flowing out of that ulcer, Isadora sat on the ground in pain and was unable to get up at all. she already did not dare to walk with her feet anymore.

"Let's go! Г11 take you to a doctor!" Malvolio could not be bothered with Sabrina anymore at that moment. He just wanted to carry her sister on his back to have her foot checked out.

"Malvolio!" Isadora did not move. She looked helplessly at Malvolio. "Malvolio! I have been a burden to you. You have already done your best. It's not like you haven't searched for a doctor abroad for me. The problem with my foot will relapse once this time every year. I think I might as well just have this foot amputated!" 1 "What nonsense are you talking about?" Malvolio said angrily. "No matter what, you still have a foot! Although it will develop an ulcer every year, it's still better than having no foot, right? That ship has the best doctors that Holden had brought from South City now. Let's go to them and have them check it out!"

Isadora smiled miserably again. "Malvolio, those are gynecologists. They won't be able to treat my foot."

Malvolio was speechless. He was so angry that raised his hand and smashed on that pebble that cut Isadora's foot. Instantly, a piece of skin on the back of Malvolio's palm was scraped off and fresh blood came flowing out from it.

"Malvolio!" Isadora burst out in tears.

"I didn't protect you well, Isadora," said Malvolio.

"Malvolio! What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I would have died in South city a long time ago. I would have smelled if I died anyway! But I am doing very well now! Malvolio, just do as I say. Amputate my foot, and I could still walk after I get a prosthetic foot!"

Malvolio sighed with hatred.

Sabrina was stunned when that sight came into her view. She did not know what she was feeling. She originally hated this burglar, this robber named Malvolio immensely. However, at that moment, what Malvolio was showing was a different person. He gave her a different feeling. It was a feeling of a brother and her sister relying on each other and cherishing each other. At that moment, Malvolio and Isadora were unlike robbers and unlike burglars. They were just a pair of pitiful siblings. Particularly when Sabrina felt that that girl named Isadora should be about her age, but other than indifference, she also had the same kind of sorrow on her face like Holden. It was a deep sorrow.

Sabrina walked up to Isadora, "stretch your foot out and let me have a look!"

Isadora and Malvolio were both speechless.

"Stretch it out!" said Sabrina. Isadora glared at Sabrina.

Malvolio then said, "Let her have a look. She also had been through many hardships and fled to many places. Perhaps she had come across this kind of disease."

Isadora then stretched her foot out for Sabrina to see. Her foot had a pungent stench to it.

Chapter 1883 "Fungal infection and allergies, and on top of that, you have an infectious disease yourself!" said Sabrina.

"Anyone knows that! Is there a point for you to say that?" Isadora immediately said coldly.

Sabrina ignored Isadora's aloofness. "Have you also been in contact with nitric acid before?"

Isadora immediately raised her head. "How did you... know that?"

Sabrina smiled miserably. "The kind of disease that you had on your foot, I once had it too."

Isadora was speechless. There was a pause before she asked in excitement, "Do you have a way to treat it?"

Sabrina glanced at the cage, as well as the person in the cage, then she suddenly got up and looked at Malvolio. "Release him. Provide him with basic needs and treat him well. Don't let him suffer in the cage. Also, treat the injuries on his leg as soon as possible."

"Are you negotiating with me?" Malvolio asked.

"Do you wish for your sister's foot to be amputated?" asked Sabrina.

Malvolio sneered. "Sabrina, you're not a doctor! why should I believe you?"

Sabrina smirked. "I am not a doctor! However, I have had the kind of disease your sister had on her foot before! If I am not wrong, before your sister got this disease, she had once worked in a workshop style cannery! That kind of cannery uses nitric acid to peel the fruits. After the peeled skins of the fruits have gone through the process of rotting and on top of that, reacted with nitric acid, it would be greatly corrosive to the feet! Your sister once had a rotten foot, right?"

Malvolio was speechless. Sabrina was not wrong at all.

"This kind of disease is not common, so many doctors from standard hospitals could not treat it.

It's the same as athlete's foot. Many people have athlete's foot, and many people also know that it's an incurable disease, but there may be some outliers as well. As I said, I once had the same kind of situation like your sister, but my foot is now cured." 1 "I believe what you said. After all, you were one on the run for six years. Please tell me the treatment." Malvolio immediately said.

"Release him!" Sabrina pointed at Holden.

"He had abducted your daughter! If it wasn't for him, how would it be possible for you to be here?

He originally wanted to abduct both your daughter and you, and you want to release him now?"

Malvolio insisted.

Sabrina sneered bitterly. "I hate him too! I hate that I can't kill him! However, his mother was kind to me! His mother is also my mother-in-law. He is even my husband's brother. He is his twin brother. Therefore, I'm asking for you to release him!"

Malvolio got up and his tone became colder "Sabrina! If I were to release him, even if my sister's foot was cured and she didn't need an amputation anymore, my sister's life and my life would be in danger! what should I do if Holden were to join forces with Sebastina after I have released him? When that time comes, my sister and I will have to die! Since we know we will be dying, then we might as well not treat the foot! There's no way for me to release Holden as well! II Malvolio looked at Isadora. "Isadora, I have failed you. Let's get an amputation and then we'll get a prosthetic foot after that."

Isadora nodded. "I'll listen to you, Malvolio. So be it if I have to get an amputation!"

Sabrina was speechless, she did not expect that these two siblings would actually be of one mind. At that moment, Sabrina suddenly admired the pair of siblings very much. She softened her tone. "I am not asking you to set Holden free, but it should be fine to not lock him in a cage, right?" 1 "Are you willing to treat my sister's foot?" Malvolio asked.

Sabrina sighed. "I am willing to do so. I just heard that you were a robber who robbed on the streets, but I have not heard of any evil doings by your sister, she was innocent, to begin with, so even if there were no terms, I also wanted to cure her foot."

Malvolio was speechless. Even Isadora could not help herself but to take another look at this pregnant woman. In a split second, she had developed a fondness towards this pregnant woman, she looked at Sabrina shyly. "Thankyou."

Sabrina blinked. At that moment, Malvolio called out. "Somebody come here!"

Someone came in and called out respectfully. "Master Malvolio!"

Malvolio articulated each and every word. "Release Holden..."

Chapter 1884 Seeing her brother actually release Holden in order to treat her foot, Isadora immediately stopped him. " Malvolio! If you release Holden, you'll be dead."

Malvolio smiled and said gently, "Silly girl, I am only letting him out of the cage, but I am not setting him free. He will be able to run away. I also won't die."

Isadora shook her head and there was a catch in her throat. "You can't defeat Holden. He is very vicious, and he is more skilled in combat than you. If you were to have a solo fight with him, you would not be his match. You can't take him lightly."

Malvolio looked at his sister with a consoling smile. " It's fine. Don't worry. One of Holden's legs is broken now. He won't be able to exert force on it, and he won't be able to defeat me. Besides, even if he could defeat me, this island is filled with my men now, could he even escape from this island?"

"Malvolio, I am afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. I have absolute certainty that nothing would go wrong," said Malvolio.

The conversation between both the brother and sister gave Sabrina a kind of illusion. It was as if the two siblings had not snatched the territories of others away and they were not the robbers who oppressed others. Instead, they were like two siblings who relied on each other to live after suffering all sorts of hardships. Just a split second, Sabrina even felt a sense of pity towards the brother and sister. However, as she thought about it again, Malvolio was indeed a robber who had done all sorts of evil, so there was nothing pitiful about him. Even if she were to feel pity, she also only could pity his sister. His sister was innocent.

Once she thought of that, Sabrina pressured the siblings, Malvolio and Isadora, again. "Hurry up!"

Malvolio's subordinate immediately released Holden from the cage. Malvolio was right. Holden's leg was broken, and he was locked in the cage for a day and a night, so his strength had long been gone. All he had was a chest full of anger. Once he got out of the cage, he threw a punch at Malvolio. In the end, his punch was easily dodged by Malvolio. Malvolio then raised his foot and kicked Holden in the stomach. Holden immediately curled on the floor and coughed uncontrollably.

Malvolio sneered and then said to his subordinate, " Lock him up!"

Holden immediately was dragged away.

"Alright. You can treat my sister's foot now, right?" asked Malvolio.

"I have to be assured that Holden would be fine. You can keep a close eye on him. I just want to treat your sister's wound on her foot while having him at arms' length," Sabrina said.

"You! You're asking for too much!" roared Malvolio.

Sabrina shook her head. "Actually, it's not too much at all. I just don't want after I have cured your sister, you guys have Holden killed instead. I did not ask for you to let him go. I just wanted him to not be humiliated like that, and that would be fine by me."

Malvolio looked at the woman in front of him. "Could it be that you love Holden?"

Sabrina sneered. "I only love my husband!"

"Then, you still..."

Sabrina ignored the man's speculation. "Do you agree or not?"

She just did not want Holden to die. To put it slightly bluntly, although Holden had forcefully taken her to this place, if she really wanted to escape from this island, then she really still needed to rely on Holden. She had to create a chance for her to have a helper.

Malvolio was silent for a few seconds before he said, " Alright!"

He turned around and ordered that subordinate of his again."Take Holden to my room! Lock him in the inner room and let Sabrina treat my sister's wound on her foot outside in the living room."

"Yes! Master Malvolio!" The subordinate took his order and left.

Soon, Sabrina and Isadora were taken to Malvolio's room. The room was said to be Malvolio's room, but it was actually still Holden's room half a month ago. The furnishings in there were all according to Holden's preference, and Holden was a man with good taste. When Sabrina saw this room, she was suddenly reminded of Grace.

Chapter 1885 Although Holden had never met his own mother, some of his preferences were very similar to her. Holden was also very gifted in design. Because of that, Sabrina's hate for Holden reduced a little.

She stood outside the door and listened to the motions in the room. There was no activity inside there at all. she originally thought that Holden would create a huge ruckus after being locked in there, but as a result, he was very calm. That made Sabrina feel a little relieved.

She asked Isadora to lay on the couch, then she moved a small stool over and sat in front of Isadora. After that, she let Isadora put her foot on top of her leg.

Suddenly, Isadora pulled her foot back from being on top of Sabrina's leg.

Sabrina looked at Isadora with confusion. "What's the matter?"

"You're a pregnant woman. It's already inconvenient for you to sit, to begin with. L..HOW can I put my foot on your body?" Isadora said coldly.

Sabrina could not help but sneered. "Wow! You're quite the considerate one."

There was a pause before she said again, "But, it's also true. Your brother is a robber, a blurgar, but you're not. You're a well-mannered girl. Come one! It's fine. I'm not afraid of the stench on your foot, and I'm also not afraid of having your foot on top of my body, so what are you afraid of?"

After saying that, Sabrina directly pulled her foot and placed it on top of her leg once more. Her foot was truly in a bad state. Sabrina truly did not know how she could keep walking. Sabrina took out a bucket of salt water, and then dipped a gauze in the salt water before squeezing the water onto Isadora's foot. "Bear with the pain."

"Ouch..." Isadora still could not bear the pain.

"You have to endure it!" said Sabrina. "These are all fungi and your wound is deep. From now on, you have to clean your foot like this every day. Also, it's best for you to be on bed rest, don't wear shoes, and don't wear socks. Your foot got into this state because you've covered it up too much."

Sabrina used her hand to hold Isadora's foot down and washed it with salt water over and over again. The dirt cleaned from her foot combined with the water in the bucket was enough to fill more than half the bucket. It was so painful for Isodara that she almost fainted. However, after her foot was all cleaned up, she felt like her foot did not seem to itch much anymore. Although it was painful, the pain was a kind of relief.

"After it's dried and when your foot has recovered a little, use alcohol and iodine to wash it. After the dirt on the surface of your foot and the wound is thoroughly cleaned, use an antifungal medication to treat it. After that, you can have some home remedies, " Sabrina said.

Sabrina was not a doctor, but coincidentally, she once had such abscess on her foot. That was because there was a year when Zayn needed a large amount of money for treatment on both his legs, Sabrina had worked on the construction site during the day. After she got off work at six in the evening, she went home, went to bed and woke up at one in the morning to work at a cannery nearby to peel the skin off peaches.

Throughout the entire summer, Sabrina's feet were standing in that kind of rotten peach skin.

That summer, Sabrina earned an additional ten thousand dollars. However, after she worked at the cannery, her feet were so messed up from being soaked in the rotten peach skins that some parts had flesh exposed. However, she still had to work on the construction site during the day.

There was cement and what not at the construction site, so she had to wear rubber boats. Just like that, both her feet were so covered that abscesses began to develop.

In the end, Sabrina's abscess on her feet were so bad that she could no longer walk, and it was a local old lady who gave her some home remedies. Because many locals wanted to make more money, their feet would be soaked till they developed abscesses every year. Therefore, they had the experience of dealing with it. This was why Sabrina was able to cure Isadora's abscesses.

"Remember, don't walk these two days. Your foot will recover in half a month," said Sabrina.

After all, she gently put Isadora's foot on the couch, and then got up and left.

"Wait," Isadora suddenly called out.

"Is there anything else?" Sabrian asked.

Isadora's tone suddenly softened. "WelL.why are you ...so nice to me?"

Chapter 1886 Sabrina turned around and looked at Isadora. Isadora did not have that usual viciousness and icy coldness in her gaze, and it was replaced with shyness. There was a sense of gratitude in her shyness.

Sabrina sneered. "A robber's sister could show the feeling of gratitude?"

Isadora instantly became exasperated. "Don’t infuriate me! Don’t think that I will spare you because you have helped me treat my wound on my foot! Also, don’t think that I can't do anything to you now that one of my feet could no longer walk! Don’t you forget that you're a pregnant woman! I can have you killed in a jiffy!"

Sabrina nodded. "My bad. I thought that birds of a feather flock together. After all, it's your brother who robs, and not you. I’m sorry."

"My brother also wasn't born a robber! I forbid you to criticize my brother in the future! otherwise, I will not let you treat the wound on my foot anymore!" said Isadora sternly with her chin lifted.

Sabrina looked at Isadora. "There's something wrong with your brain!"

"Even if my foot is broken and even if I become crippled, I will also not let you treat my foot anymore if you call my brother a robber!" Isadora said.

"You...you truly have a problem! It's not your foot that has a problem! It's your brain! I am the one treating the wound on your foot now. Your brother is the one who begged me to treat the wound on your foot. I'm not the one who wanted to treat you! The wound is on your body, so not treating it would be your business. Being crippled is also your business. What does it have to do with me?" asked Sabrina, amused.

"I just won’t let you treat me! So what if I have died? I will not accept any hand out, any condescending hand out! I don’t want to accept handouts without any dignity! I don’t want it. Do you understand? How would such a high and mighty wife of a rich man like you understand how it felt for US to be living in exile? How could you understand our difficulties? In your eyes, my brother and I are robbers and are lowly people whose death would not be mourned by others, aren’t we? Then, why do you still want to treat the wound on my foot? Are you treating me as a charity case? Do you pity me? I'm sorry! I, Isadora Yeatman, have dignity. I'd rather die than to accept your hand out. Get lost!"

Isadora chased Sabrina away without any hesitation. Sabrina was speechless, she suddenly felt that this stubborn girl before her eyes was someone who had been through a lot. The feeling that she had earlier did not seem to be an illusion. That kind of feeling of the two siblings relying on each other to survive did not seem to be an illusion.

"I'm sorry." Isadora apologized to Sabrina. "I'm sorry. I know that it was out of the kindness of your hearts for you to treat the wound on my foot. My emotions are not stable today. You don't need to mind me. You also can stop treating me."

"It's fine. I will heal the wound on your foot. Like I said, you're innocent. You're different from your brother," Sabrina said.

After saying that, Sabrina turned around and left. She was not going to bother fighting with an emotionally charged person. Besides, this young lady indeed was not a robber or a burglar.

"My brother is a very good person!" Isadora suddenly said behind her.

Sabrina did not look back, and she just continued to walkout. "That is what you think."

"No!" Isadora said with agitation. "My brother was forced to be like this! Don’t misunderstand my brother like this, alright? He likes you very much. I have never seen him liking a woman so much.

You're pregnant, but he still cherishes you."

Sabrina stopped in her tracks. At that moment, she was incomparably furious, she turned her head around and looked at Isadora fiercely. "Miss Yeatman! Let me tell you this. If I can heal the wound on your foot, I also can cripple your foot!

Please don’t say that your brother likes me in front of me, a married woman who is even pregnant, and don’t act indecently like that, alright? Miss Yeatman, don’t you forget that I am being held hostage by you guys. Being held hostage, alright?"

Chapter 1887 "It's because you are different from your brother and I saw that you're innocent that I am willing to help you treat the wound on your foot. Now, it seems like you’re not innocent at all! Very well! Weren't you not willing to let me treat your wound on your foot? I will not treat it!"

In any case, Holden had already gotten out of the cage, so if she did not want to be treated, then so be it! Sabrina did not even look back. She just continued walking out the door.

"Sabrina..." This time, Isadora's tone was pitiful and helpless.

Sabrina stopped in her tracks again, she turned her head around to look at Isadora, and Isadora was actually crying.

"Can...can you listen to me for a moment?" asked Isadora.

Sabrina frowned in confusion, "what do you want to say?"

Sabrina was being held hostage and she was even almost nine months pregnant, what more can Isadora tell her?

"You're entitled to think of me however you want, but I knew that you were one very miserably. You were misunderstood and you were imprisoned after being framed. You were also on the run for six years. I knew about all that. I think you certainly will not be like others who have a prejudice against me and my brother, right?"

Sabrina was speechless.

"You certainly will not be like your husband and his friend and treat my brother as a robber for life, right? " Isadora looked at Sabrina pitifully.

Sabrina was still speechless.

"I know your husband and his friend, Alex, are righteous. They would never do such underhanded and sketchy things like stealing and robbing, but that is because they come from very powerful families with deep pockets. Take your husband, for example. Although he once was forced to live in exile abroad and was forced to survive with his mother, his mother was a world-famous architect. Although your husband did not have the right to inherit his family's properties, his father was the director of Ford Group, after all, so he was the son of the director. Although he did not have the right to inherit, even if he were to snatch it, he would still be snatching from one of his own, so that's not called snatching, and it's not called robbing, isn’t it? What about my brother? who can he rob? Did he have such vast family properties and such a rich father for him to snatch rob? He did not!

Therefore, he can only rob others!"

Sabrina sneered. "He didn't have a rich father to rob, so he robbed others that had nothing to do with him. What kind of logic is that? Is that a robber's logic? The great majority of the people in this world did not have rich fathers. It's Sebastian's fate that he has a rich father! Could everyone be like Sebastian? I know my husband best! Even if he did not have a rich father, did not have the Ford Family's huge family business, and he was just a commoner, he also would never rob someone else!

Also..."

Speaking of that, Sabrina smiled bitterly. "My husband would rather live in an ordinary family and enjoy an ordinary life. To have both the parent's love, where the parents love each other, and to work every day for the money that is enough to raise a family would be enough for him instead of fighting, killing, and spending every day in tricks and lies like now."

"What do you know?" questioned Isadora.

"You have imagined the life of the commoners so beautifully, but that is just your fantasy! If your husband has a sister like me, who was bullied by others every day, was mocked and insulted like a piece of trash every day, and was even going to be sold to an old man by her biological father one day, will your husband still be unconcerned? Will he still be a good person?" questioned Isadora, as she raised her eyebrows and looked at Sabrina.

"What are you saying?" Sabrina asked.

"I'm saying the bully I had suffered in Kidon City was way worse than what you had gone through!"

Isadora said.

Sabrina was speechless.

Chapter 1888 "Do you know why my brother has to kill your husband?" asked Isadora sorrowfully.

"What do you want to say? Are you saying that my husband has wronged your brother?"

Speaking of that, Sabrina sneered. "I'm sorry. Please don’t force this kind of offense onto my husband. When your brother fled abroad back then, it was because he had already broken the law for robbery. At that time, my husband had always been abroad and had never returned to the country. My husband did not wrongly blame your brother." Sabrina said.

"I didn't say that your husband has wronged my brother. I'm also not saying that my brother is innocent. What I'm saying is, it was your husband who had helped Alex and almost drove my brother to his death! If it wasn't for the help your husband had given Alex, my brother would have already had Alex killed!" Isadora said coldly.

"But Alex also didn't wrong your brother! It was his duty to pursue and capture your brother!

Could it be that your brother had broken the law, but he has to let him get away with it?" Sabrina suddenly scolded angrily.

Isadora cried. "Under that kind of circumstances, even if it was you, you would have also broken the law! Do you know what my brother and I were forced into? Where was Alex when we needed help? We were almost dying. Where was Alex then? Why didn't he come out to help US? My brother only did what he had to do. Should he have been pursued around the world? I!

Sabrina was speechless, she saw that Isadora was speaking with great agitation. There was still slimy fluid oozing out of her foot. That was all the fungi that was killed that was flowing out.

Isadora had already forgotten the pain in her foot.

"I am very pitiful," said Isadora sorrowfully. "I thought...! thought you were a kindhearted person.

You helped me treat my foot. You are the person my brother likes. You are so tolerant, and you have gone through so many hardships. I thought that you're a kindhearted person. It turns out you also have a prejudice against me and my brother, right? You will put such a label on US for the rest of your life that my brother is a robber and a burglar, right? He had done all evil deeds, so he can’t be forgiven, much less be pitied, right?"

Sabrina was speechless. She was almost nine months pregnant, so she was tired from standing for a long time. She turned around and sat in front of Isadora. She did not say anything and just looked at Isadora. After a long while, she took a piece of tissue from the coffee table and handed it to Isadora for her to wipe her tears. For some unknown reason, Sabrina pitied Isadora at that moment.

Sabrina had a motherly aura on her that made Isadora's unyielding heart disintegrate in an instant. Isadora suddenly burst into tears.

"My brother...my brother had really suffered very, very badly. Me and my brother share the same mother but different fathers," Isadora told Sabrina about their past. Only then did Sabrina learn about the unknown past of the two siblings, Malvolio and Isadora.

Malvolio was a child who grew up in Kidon City. When he was still a child, his family was living fairly comfortably. His father was a truck driver, and his mother was originally a seamstress at a tailor's shop. Although his family was well-to-do, they still could get by. However, accidents do happen. That year when Malvolio was six years old and was about to start first grade, his father hit and killed two people with his truck and he also died at the scene.

The Yeatman family originally had some savings and also a property. However, it was all extorted by those families of the accident victims overnight till there was nothing left. From then on, Malvolio's mother, Eirwen Yost, took him along and hid here and there, and they often did not even get to eat a meal in a day. However, Malvolio's mother was an iron-willed person. It took her two years to use her skill in making clothes to earn money and have the debt paid off.

Chapter 1889 Malvolio's mother took him with her, and was even planning on buying a smaller house after maybe a decade and after she had earned some money. That way, both mother and son would have a place to live again. They were very optimistic about their life in the future. However, as an orphan and a widow, they were always bullied by others. It was particularly so for Malvolio, who had been naughty growing up. He had suddenly lost his father, so when he was bullied, he would not accept defeat and had always wanted to fight back. He was then beaten up by the older children till his face was all bruised and swollen.

One day, when Malvolio was chased by a few older children as they wanted to beat him up, a man with a strong build helped Malvolio chase those children away, and he even personally sent Malvolio home. From that day on, that man had gotten to know Malvolio's mother. That man's name was Delmont Stevens, and he was an owner of a recycling center.

Although Delmont opened a recycling center by himself, the money he made was only enough for him to get by and have a slight profit. Therefore, Delmont was already thirty years old, but he did not have a wife. Ever since he had gotten to know Malvolio's mother, Delmont would go to the house that the mother and son rented every other day. He also often picked up Malvolio from school, and he would bring Malvolio to have some nice food during the weekends. Therefore, Malvolio liked his Uncle Delmont very much.

As time passed, Eirwen got pregnant. Without a question, the child in her belly certainly was Delmont's. Actually, Malvolio liked his mother being with Uncle Delmont very much. Not long after that, his mother and Uncle Delmont got married. For a very long time, Malvolio had been addressing Delmont as dad. Later on, Eira Stevens was born.

The life of the family of four seemed to be getting better, and Delmont had his own ideas, when he in bed at night, he told Eirwen, "Eirwen, I have something to discuss with you. You see, this piece of landfill of mine was actually left to me by my parents as a foundation to build a house. I have never had the money, so I never built it. I was thinking, I have a little savings now, and you have also saved some money from making and sewing clothes for others these couple of years.

How about we build a factory here together to manufacture clothes? You have the skill, and I also am not a lazy person, so I can be the salesperson. What do you think?"

Eirwen agreed right there and then. Her husband wanted to start a business, so as his wife, of course she had to support him. Not only would she support him, but she would even be of great use. She was very well versed in clothing, she thought to herself that if they started a clothing manufacturing business, they would certainly make a profit, what Eirwen had thought was not wrong. After the clothing factory was built, the clothing business was booming at that time when it was almost thirty years ago, so almost anybody who was in the line of business became rich.

Eirwen and Delmont were no exception. However, what Eirwen did not expect was that when their business had just taken off and they had just earned their first one million dollars, Delmont became unfaithful to her.

Delmont had been going out to get sales for years. He had met more people and seen more things than Eirwen. Delmont went behind Eirwen's back and pursued a design director from a large-scale fashion company, she was a young and capable girl with ideas. The girl was very smart and she also valued Delmont's capabilities, when she was together with Delmont, she did not ask anything of him. Not only that, but she even took out a loan of two million dollars and gave it to Delmont, she wanted to start a brand of their own together with Delmont. However, the girl also had a request, which was to have Delmont divorce Eirwen as soon as possible because she would never be a mistress.

Delmont liked that stylist and independent girl with an imposing aura very much to begin with, and that girl had done too much for him, so of course, Delmont was beyond moved. He went home that night and immediately asked Eirwen for a divorce.

"What? I absolutely will not get a divorce!" Eirwen took a knife and threatened Delmont, bawling.

Chapter 1890 when Delmont saw Eirwen's appearance with disheveled hair and a knife in hand, he hated her even more. "Look at you. You don’t even look slightest bit like a lady boss! You're simply a country bumpkin! Our business is developing and growing, how can I be with a bumpkin like you? If you don’t want to get a divorce, Г11 just be separated from you for two years! As long as we've been separated for two years, the court will grant us a divorce!"

"I'm fine to divorce! However, the factor is all mine!" said Eirwen furiously.

Delmont sneered. "Eirwen, I said that you're a bumpkin, but you won't admit it! Let me tell you this then. It's already thinking too highly of you to say that you're a bumpkin! You're simply a shrew from the countryside!"

"I was forced by you!" Eirwen said.

Delmont sneered. "Didn’t you want the factory? Here you go! Take it all! You're truly a vicious b*tch! Don’t you forget how hard it was for you back then. You didn't have a husband, you were a widow, and your son was fatherless. It was me who saved you and your son! I have already done right by you and your son! Do you know how Joy treats me? She is a famous fashion designer who graduated from Flowana. She didn't want a single penny from me! She even helped me get a loan of two million dollars for US to start a business together! But, what about you? other than money, what else is there in your eyes? You are incomparably crude. Do you even have a conscience?"

"How dare you say that I don’t have a conscience, you d*mned man! You had a buttload of debt opening that recycling center of ours back then. I was the one who helped you pay off your debt!

I saved you from your troubles, and I even had a daughter with you. Yet, you said that I don’t have a conscience. I want to kill you! I'll kill you!" As she said that, Eirwen held the knife and waved it at Delmont.

She was not Delmont's match. In just a few moves, Delmont snatched the knife away from her hand and called the police. Eirwen was imprisoned for ten months for assault. When she got out of prison ten months later, the factory was gone and the properties were gone, she became a woman with nothing again. Also, she had one more child with her compared to the last time.

The two-year-old child had always been with her brother. Her brother had taken her with him to live in the house that they had originally rented. During that time, Delmont did come to see the children, but he only gave them a thousand dollars for their living expenses every month.

That day Eirwen was released from prison was the day Delmont married his new wife. One was an incomparably down-and-out woman who looked worn out while the other was a famous designer with high spirits. There was a world of difference between Eirwen and that designer named Joy Fox.

Delmont, on the other hand, ought to be rich. Ever since he married Joy, their fashion business became more and more thriving. In just three short years, they have founded five brands of their own, and they were all sold in big stores. Also, they were particularly well received. This was attributed to Joy's top-notch design ideas and Delmont's top-notch sales abilities. Both of them were truly a power couple.

In just five years, Delmont and Joy's business, which was called Delmont and Joy Fashion Company, already had assets up to one billion dollars. Delmont had officially squeezed into the ranks of being one of the rich people in Kidon city. Joy, on the other hand, even had an extraordinary status in Kidon city. Not only was she the chief designer at Delmont and Joy Fashion Company, but she was hired to be a lecturer at two design schools. They had achieved great status.

That year when Eira was eight years old, Delmont and Joy's daughter, Brooke Stevens, was six years old.

There were both daughters of Delmont, who was a rich man, but Eira did not even have the chance to go to a better school. Brooke, on the other hand, sat in luxurious cars, went to the best private schools, and learned to draw, dance, and many other crafts after school. There were both Delmont's daughters, but Eira's shoes were so tight that her toes were jutting out while Brooke could change up five pairs of shoes in a day. she could wear a shoe a day and have no repeated patterns for the whole year. 1 That year when Eira was eight, her mother, Eirwen, had already gone mad for three years, she could not take the blow of losing both her husbands within a few years, so she became crazy.

Sometimes she would be alright, but sometimes it would be bad.
