Ch. 2061..2070
Chapter 2061 Therefore, from that moment on, as a man, Ryan had to tolerate all the shortcomings of the mother of his children.
"You've grown up, Ryan," Sabrina said with a smile.
In fact, Ryan and Sabrina were about the same age. when she first met Ryan, he still behaved very much like a young master and was very willful and unrestrained. At that moment, however, he truly had grown up very much. Sabrina was very pleased and relieved. " Thank you. I thank you on behalf of Ruth. It's a blessing for her to be able to find you. Please tolerate Ruth more in the future. We will also persuade her and ask her to control her temper."
"Right, what Sabrina said. Ryan, don't worry. My parents and I will definitely talk to Ruth," said Marcus as well. After all, Ruth was his own cousin.
"Hey! What are you talking about, Marcus? With our personal friendship and partnership, I am afraid that you, her cousin, would come looking for trouble with me instead when the time comes. Don't worry. I will certainly be good to your cousin!"
"That's great!"
The few people joked and laughed and then went into Ryan's mansion together. Once Ruth got into the house, she was going to prepare something to drink, but she was stopped by her future mother-in-law. "Oh, Ruth, you're still in the early stages of your pregnancy and it's not stable yet. Don't move and don't do anything. Let me do it," said Patricia.
While saying that, she went to prepare tea for everyone. After she brought the tea out, she told Ruth again, "Don't move, alright.
You're carrying twins."
The way she looked being so eagerly attentive was simply a world apart from when she so condescending asked Ruth to wash her feet the night before.
Ruth shrugged. "Missus Poole, you're already starting to not let me do this and that now, but I am only two months pregnant.
Also, Ryan and I still have a wedding to plan. I have to prepare for the wedding, right? On top of that, the year is going to be ending soon, so there are all sorts of things that need to be prepared." 1 "Don't worry. Don't worry. Leave everything to me. From picking a wedding dress, your clothes, and everything else, you'll have a driver to pick you up and drop you there. The wedding dress that you wanted can also be sent to the house for you to pick, what do you say?"
After saying that, without waiting for Ruth's agreement, Patricia took it upon herself and said, "Ruth, since you don't have any family in South City anyway, you'll follow US back and stay in Kidon City from now on. I will take care of all your meals every day.
From now on, don't even think about eating those junk foods, spicy foods, and foods without any nutrition! Just do as I say! Listen to me, I am not saying all this just for the sake of your babies. I'm also saying this for your own food! When I was young, I have gotten pregnant a few times, but I just can't seem to keep them. A woman's health is her capital."
Ruth was speechless, she suddenly felt that this future mother-in- law of hers was not that annoying anymore. At that moment, she unexpectedly felt a little touched. Therefore, when her future mother-in-law asked her to return to Kidon City, Ruth just very sweetly agreed. From then on, all of the discussions regarding her wedding, the wedding dress reservation, and the hotel reservations were all done in Kidon City.
From time to time, Ruth would call Sabrina and Yvonne from Kidon City. Every time she called, Ruth was happy. "It's just better to be at the Poole Residence. All the maids here treat me very well. Ryan's parents are very nice to me as well. It's just that my mother- in-law likes to mumble a lot. I realized that her bark is worse than her bite." 1 Sabrina smiled. "Be content with what you have. You have to be good in the future. You have to behave yourself, don't be so willful, and also don't be too inferior, got it?"
"I know!"
"Have you decided on a date for your wedding yet?" asked Sabrina.
"Mm-hmm. It's been decided. The reason I’m calling you today is to tell you about that. Our wedding date has been set for the Fourteenth of February. Do you know what day it is?" asked Ruth very smugly.
Sabrina had been swamped every day. she had been busy with her two children and also her household matters. As they got closer to the end of the year, the more she was occupied by the group activities in her company. Also, as the wife of the company's director, it was also very important for her to attend the Ford Group's annual year-end party, she was so busy the past few days that she did not even have enough sleep. How could she still recall what day was the fourteenth of February?
"Isn't it just the fourteenth of February?" said Sabrina.
"Haha! That's Valentine's Day! I'm getting married on Valentine's Day!" Ruth announced happily.
Chapter 2062 "Wow, really?" Sabrina was extraordinarily happy when she heard that.
She and Sebastian were already like an old married couple. Besides, her man is not the romantic type of person. Therefore, she and her husband rarely celebrated Valentine's Day. When she heard that Ruth was getting married on Valentine's Day, Sabrina felt incomparably happy.
"I'm really envious of you, Ruth," Sabrina said from the bottom of her heart. After a pause, Sabrina's tone became a little gloomy.
"I am already a mother of two now, but I didn't even get a proper wedding."
"Sabrina..." Ruth immediately felt sorry. "Sabrina, I...I won't have the wedding, alright? I'll keep you accompanied?"
Ruth was a proper fan of Sabrina. She trusted and was loyal to Sabrina to the extent that even if Sabrina asked her to die, she would not hesitate for a second. Therefore, what was a wedding to her?
"Silly girl!" Sabrina instantly scolded her. "Are you silly? Do you know how sacred and important a wedding is to a woman? How can you not have a wedding just because of something I said? Are you living for me? You're not! Ruth, you have to remember this! You'll only live for yourself and you’re only responsible for your husband and children! You don't owe anything to the others!
Do you understand?"
"But Sabrina..." Ruth broke into tears. "You're the one who let me live. You're the one who gave me my life. Only you and Yvonne are the best to me in the entire world..."
Sabrina smiled. "I saved you, but that's because I want you to live your life well and live for yourself. Don't cry anymore! It's not for the baby when the pregnant lady cries!"
Ruth nodded her head. "Mm-hmm. I do as you say."
"We won't be able to spend the end of this year together. After the year is over and after everything has been settled on my end, I will bring my children and my husband to go up north to Kidon city to attend your wedding. It so happens that Aino will be on a holiday as well, so our entire family can go over," Sabrina smiled and said.
"Alright! That's a must! If you and Yvonne are not at my wedding, I will certainly cry myself to death!"
"Don’t worry! We absolutely will be there!" said Sabrina.
"Mm-hmm!"
"I'm hanging up now. Bye."
"Bye, Sabrina."
After she hung up the call, Sabrina's heart was filled with a mixed feeling. She truly felt very happy for Ruth. That girl had been through so much. She was abandoned by her parents and was a hair's breadth away from death. However, everything had finally come to fruition for her. How great.
But, what about Sabrina herself? She also had been a hair's breadth away from death and had been on the run for six years. The thing she fantasized about the most growing up was to have a wedding. However, she and Sebastian did not even have a proper wedding so far. While thinking about that, she could not help but feel sorrowful.
She sat on the balcony without moving a muscle until the night had fallen. It so happened that Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna had followed Sebastian, Kingston, and a few people out taking Aino and Louie to play their hearts out that day, so other than Sabrina, nobody else was home. Sebastian gave Sabrina a call, but she was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she did not hear it.
Sebastian and everyone else had dinner before they returned home and they brought takeout back for Sabrina. When they returned home, the house was in pitch-black darkness, and not even a single light was switched on. As soon as Sebastian entered the house, he noticed that something was not right. Sabrina, on the other hand, forced a smile and she just forced herself to maintain that smile in front of the two children. The children did not notice anything, but it was incomparably obvious to Sebastian.
When it was time to take a rest at night, the man deliberately brought out a basin of water to wash her feet and gently placed her feet in them. Only then did the man ask her, "Tell me, what's the matter with you today? What happened?"
Sabrina smiled gently at Sebastian. "Nothing."
"You and I are already like an old married couple. How come you've learned to keep things from me? You have to tell me everything and I'll resolve it for you."
Chapter 2063 "Is it something work-related? You're also a famous director in your company now, so are you feeling more pressured? If that is the case, then don't be the director anymore. You're being paid more, but you also have more to worry about. I can support you.
You don't have to work so hard."
Sabrina looked at her husband, who had always been a man of a few words but had suddenly said so much just to comfort her, and she felt rather touched, she ran her fingers through her husband's hair. "It's fine, Sebastian. It's not because of something work- related. You also know that I am a workaholic. The busier I get at work and the more 1'11 have to worry, the happier I'll be.
I have always treated work as my greatest interest. If I stopped working and became like the other wives of rich men who either play poker or go for spa treatment every day, and have nothing else to do in the remaining time, then wouldn't I be bored to death? I don’t like to play poker, go shopping, and go for spa treatments. I don't like to have small talks with those rich housewives even more.
Therefore, I am determined not to quit my job."
Sebastian suddenly smiled. "It seems like it's not about work?"
After thinking for a long time, he asked, "If it's not work-related, then it has to be a personal matter, right?
Sabrina was speechless. It was a personal matter! she simply wanted a wedding! Even if she could not be like Ruth and have the wedding on the 14th of February, Valentine's Day, and even if it was not that romantic, as long as it was her and Sebastian's wedding and it was a wedding where Sebastian personally put the diamond ring on her finger, then she would be satisfied. She felt that all women are the same. Even a generous woman like her who did not care about formalities was no exception, she also needed a wedding. Well! Nothing she could do about that. 1 Right when Sabrina was sighing to herself, the man had already been on top of her. When she regained her senses, the man's lips were right above hers.
"You..." Sabrina was extremely shocked. He was still washing her feet just now, how did he suddenly pin her behind him? The man's speed was truly very quick!
"I had already poured out the water I used to wash your feet and I had also applied foot cream for you. what were you thinking that made you so distracted? If you don't tell me, then I can only take it as you were thinking of me. Were you thinking that it has been a week since I touched you?" asked Sebastian in a deep voice.
He truly had been too busy that week as there were many things for him to handle since the year was ending. It just so happened that her period also came that week, since it had not completely cleared the past few days, he did not want to disturb her as he was afraid he might affect her health. Because of all that, he had not touched her for almost eight days. He thought to himself that she must have wanted it, but she was too embarrassed to tell him.
That night, Sebastian worked very hard and Sabrina also tasted a pleasure that she had not tasted for a long time, she wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and was unable to get over the pleasure for a long time that she could only hum softly.
"Say, you're already over thirty and are almost forty years old. How are you still so domineering and so terrifyingly strong?"
"Do I dare to not be strong? If I'm not strong, you'll change with someone else," Sebastian teased.
"Screw you!" Sabrina punched him. "The older you get, the less serious you are!"
Sebastian, however, hugged his wife tightly. "Tell me, are you feeling better now? Do you still have a lot on your mind?" 1 "Huh?"
"As long as you can be happy, I'll work this hard and be this strong every day from now on. What do you say?"
Sabrina suddenly blushed, she then nuzzled her head in her husband's arms and laughed for a while. After that, she raised her head and plucked up the courage. "Sebastian, let's.Jet's have a replacement...wedding, alright? I also want to be a bride.
Sebastian was speechless.
Chapter 2064 It was at that moment that Sebastian suddenly realized that the reason his wife had been sorrowful since the evening was not that he had not been intimate with her for eight days. Rather, it was because she wanted a wedding. The man suddenly felt heartbroken. That was right! Their oldest child, Aino, was already nine years old, but he seemed to have yet given her a proper wedding.
"What's the matter, Sebastian? Are you not willing to do it? It's fine. As long as I can be together with you, it’s fine for me to not have a wedding, Sebastian. I know very well in my heart how great the past few years have been for me. I don't want the wedding anymore." 1 Sabrina was a sensible person. Her husband was too busy. He had to manage the entire Ford Group, and he also had to manage those mercenary forces abroad. He truly had to worry about too many things. Also, he had made quite a few enemies, so it was also normal that he usually did not want his wife and children to show their faces in public. Sabrina suddenly felt that was she being too immature? Was she not considerate to her husband at all?
Sebastian took a long and deep breath. "Sabrina, I don't know if you still remembered, but when I had just met you, which was when you were pregnant with Aino for a month or so, we...we had a wedding. It was that wedding at the Cloudella Restaurant."
cloudella Restaurant? of course, Sabrina remembered that wedding. At that time, she was still confused when she was forcibly pulled over by Sebastian. He put a wedding dress on her and then forcibly had a wedding with her. The only witness at that wedding was Grace. Of course, Sabrina remembered it. She nodded. "I remember. That was a wedding held to appease your mother. She was the only person who attended the wedding." 1 "But that was enough for me," said Sebastian.
"Do you know this? I had often seen my mother covered in tears growing up, and had often seen her muttering to wedding dresses that had never been worn saying, 'If I can wear a wedding dress just once in my life, I'll be delighted even if I die.' Because I have often seen my mother like that, I have vowed at that time that I absolutely and certainly will only marry once. I must marry the woman I like and love her for the rest of my life.
Also, I don't need anyone to attend my wedding. Regardless of how close that friend was to me, it did not matter. The relationship between me and my friend shouldn't be affected by whether they were at the wedding or not. It's enough for me to have my mother alone at my wedding because I want her to know that I have found my happiness."
After taking a pause, Sebastian hugged Sabrina even tighter. " Besides, when I married you at that time, I had a million voices in me telling me that you're my wife and not Selene. From the bottom of my heart, I had never treated Selene as my wife. I have always treated you as my wife. The reason I was so angry at that time was that I thought you were pregnant with someone else's child and you simply wouldn't tell me whose child it was. Do you know that, Sabrina? Although that wedding of ours was extremely small, it had always been very sacred in my heart."
Hearing that, Sabrina instantly burst into tears, she wrapped her arms tightly around her husband's neck and cried inconsolably.
"I know. I understand it already, Sebastian. I understand. Actually, you may not know this, but very early on, I...I had also thought that you might be the man who had taken away my first experience being with a man. I have always had that illusion. I thought it was an illusion at that time. Now that I think about it, it was not an illusion at all, the feeling I had was right. Although that wedding was very small, I had already silently felt so emotional a few hundred times at that time. I felt that I will never wear a wedding dress again and will never have another wedding anymore. That was also the most important wedding that I have engraved in my heart for life."
Chapter 2065 "You were right. It doesn't matter that nobody attended our wedding as long as your mother was there, with her blessing, we will forever be happy. That's because the person who wishes that we could be happy forever the most was your late mother. She was our matchmaker. She was also our witness. Sebastian, it's not that we didn't have a wedding. We had a wedding, which was the one we had at that time."
Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm. Both you and I, we will only have one wedding in this life. Our marriage will last forever and for all eternity!"
"Mm-hmm. I love you, dear." Sabrina's voice became increasingly gentle. Sebastian's heart, too, became increasingly tender. He rolled over and pinned the woman under him again.
"What do you...want to do?" Sabrina absolutely could not believe what the man did next. Had they not just stopped for ten minutes? Has he regained his strength again?
Sebastian laughed wildly. "Your man is only in his thirties and his body is still strong and powerful! Why? Are you doubting your husband's strength?"
"No, I don't doubt it. It's me...I'm too tired, dear—" Before she was able to finish her sentence, her words were blocked by her husband's lips. What happened in the room was beautiful and sweet, and the night also became gentle. That night, both of them slept very soundly. 1 When they woke up the following day, both Sabrina and Sebastian were very refreshed. After they had breakfast and said goodbye to each other, they went on their own way to work.
Both of them were outstanding in their respective fields at that moment. Sebastian was in charge of a group of companies and was the person with the highest power in the group. Although the woman was not as powerful and as high-ranking as the man, she was also a well-known architect in the industry. However, as the director of the architectural design firm and under the circumstances of lacking her capable assistant, Ruth, Sabrina was even busier than before.
She had been busy with work and it was in the afternoon on New Year's Eve that she finished the work at hand. After all, she could not be fully focused at work after the holiday, and could only fully resume working after attending Ruth's wedding on the 14th of February. Therefore, she had to finish up all the work before the year ended.
After the holiday for New Year's Day, everyone resumed working as usual. Then, on the Seventh of February, Sabrina and Sebastian and their entire family of four, Kingston and Yvonne, as well Marcus' family of three took a flight together to Kidon City.
Everything had been arranged on Kidon city's end as well.
Sebastian and Sabrina stayed in Alex's mansion. Marcus and his family stayed in the Shaw family's old mansion in Kidon City in the early days. Yvonne stayed together with Marcus in the Shaw family's mansion.
After everyone had settled in at the places that they were staying at, Sabrina, Yvonne, and Aino could not wait anymore and wanted to take Ruth and Yvonne out. The three of them wanted to ask the other two if they had a good new year's celebration if they bought everything that was needed for the wedding and so on.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning on the eighth. Although it was still a cold day, there was also a little bit of warmth in the air. Early in the morning, Sabrina, Yvonne, Jane, Ruth, and the little child, Aino, had agreed to go shopping together in the oldest market in Kidon City. It was said that there were many stalls here and one could find a lot of treasures there. Actually, they were not thinking of finding treasures or whatnot. They just simply wanted to gather together to have a chat, get together, and relax and unwind.
After the group of people parked the car, some pushed their strollers while some carried their bags. Right when the group of people came to the entrance of the street, they saw a woman manning a stall. At the very same time, the woman also saw them.
The woman manning the stall suddenly hurriedly got up and with an incomparable clear target in mind, she rushed straight towards Jane and the child holding Jane's hand.
"Little bastard, you've already grown so much. I’ll kill you!" The knife in the woman's hand went straight to the front of Ricky's face.
The two-year-old Ricky even smiled. "Ma'am..."
Chapter 2066 Everyone was stunned by the situation happening before their eyes. Jane was so frightened that she was frozen in place. She was a gentle woman and has always stayed far away from fighting and killings. She also had never offended anyone. Who would have thought she would have such an encounter when she was just out shopping with a few friends and her child? Jane was truly scared out of her wits.
However, the two-year-old boy, Ricky, did not feel the slightest bit of fear. When he saw the shiny knife, Ricky used his hands to grab it instead.
On the other hand, Sabrina, who was at the side, was very calm, she did not want to frighten Ricky, so she rushed over as fast as she could and wanted to use her body to block the knife for Ricky.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and there was no room for anyone to think much about anything. Just as Sabrina shielded Ricky, someone already moved quicker than Sabrina to block in front of both Sabrina and Ricky, and with a swift lift of a foot, that knife was kicked away. Immediately after that, with a backhanded horizontal pull, that person dislocated the arm of the woman manning the stall, who was holding a knife, in one fell swoop. By the third move, the woman, the vendor, was already forcefully pushed to the ground. She rolled on the ground and shouted in pain. "Ouch!" One of her arms, however, was not able to move at all.
"You, who are you?" The woman on the ground raised her head in pain to look at the woman who beat her up.
Isadora looked down at her from up above. "Lily Parker! Never mind if I don't find you, but you actually came to me yourself! Do you think that because you've already gotten used to bullying Jane, you can't spare her for even a moment and you can't even spare her two-year-old son? Then, let me tell you something! Don't even think about it in this lifetime, Lily Parker. I, Isadora Yeatman, will be by Jane's side twenty-four hours a day. I will use my life to protect her and her son. Even if it were anyone else, nobody should even think of doing anything to Jane, let alone you! Don't even think about laying a finger on Jane!"
It was after they heard Isadora saying so that Jane, Sabrina, Ruth, Yvonne, and also Aino realized that the person who was struck to the ground turned out to be Lily. All of them were stunned. That was because the woman on the ground had a head full of white hair, and her white hairs even more than herblack hairs. Also, her face was covered in freckles and looked old. The skin of her face was even sagging severely. How could that be Lily? No matter what, she was only 30 years old, so she could not have aged that quickly.
Seeing the way the few of them were stunned, Lily was so resentful that tears streamed down her face. Even after being stepped on by Isadora, Lily still gritted her teeth in anger. "All of you! Every one of you is making fun of me, aren't you? Yes! That's right! I am Lily Parker! Thanks to you, the group of demons, the part in me that could showcase my femininity had been long gone! It had long been taken out of me by that devil, Holden, so my hormones have been imbalanced for a very long time! That's right! I am aging very rapidly. I, Lily Parker, am the descendant of an eminent family in Kidon City who had been practicing medicine for generations.
However, I was set up by a bunch of shady things like you guys. I won't have it! I just won't have it!"
Yvonne was the most naive, so she blurted out asking, "How are you still alive?" 1 After asking that, Yvonne looked at Jane and asked again, "Jane, you guys...this woman had done so many evil things and had harmed so many people. How come you and Mister Poole still let her live?"
Jane sighed, "she had indeed done plenty of evil, but her father is a good man and a good doctor who had helped countless people by practicing medicine. Also, the Parker family and the Poole family had been friends for generations.
Originally, Alex was also going to punish Lily...however, her father came and pleaded for mercy. He asked Alex to spare Lily's life at the very least, and let her fend for herself. Lily's father also said that the Parker family would cut all ties with Lily and they would not let Lily inherit a single share of the Parker family's properties. Lily's father only wanted her to live. The old man was already so old, so Alex could not say no to him. Therefore, he spared Lily's life and she was not allowed to leave the borders of Kidon City. This way, it would be also easier to keep an eye on her and see if she had turned over a new leaf. Who knew that she would still want to kill my child even when she has already ended up like this! How vicious!"
At that moment, Jane had already regained her senses. She held her precious little child and glared at Lily while still feeling frightened.
Chapter 2067 Hearing Jane saying that, Lily instantly went mad. "Jane Sheen, you're a b*tch! B*tch! You had stolen everything away from me!
Who do you think you are? You're just a maid by Alex's side! A maid! A servant! You don't even have a home in Kidon City. You are a world apart from Alex. You had even married someone else before that. Who are you to have Alex? How could you have him? You were the one who had stolen everything from me! It's all because of you that I became like this today! It's all your fault!
B* tch! I hate you the most! I just want you to die and I want the take the life of the little bastard you had given birth to!" 1 "Don't you dare!" Jane suddenly became angry, she turned her head around and looked at Ruth and Aino. "Ruth, Aino!"
"Jane, tell me what you want me to do!" Ruth immediately answered.
"Aunt Jane, go ahead, what do you want to do? Aino is also a grown -up now!" Aino was calm and composed and was not at all afraid of such a situation.
"Both of you take the children to the amusement park over there to play for a while. I have something to say to Lily!" Jane calmly ordered.
"Alright!" Aino knew that her Aunt Jane also was not someone who was easy to bully anymore. The reason she asked her and Ruth to take the children to the amusement park was that she did not want to frighten the children.
Aino and Ruth then led Ricky and Louie together by their hands to the amusement park not far away to play. Yvonne also followed closely behind them as she was afraid the two of them could not handle the two children.
Sabrina, Jane, and Isadora were left behind on this end. However, it was more than enough for the three of them to deal with such a monster, who was almost dying, like Lily.
Jane came to the front of Lily, squatted, and pinched Lily's aged face in one fell swoop. "You monster! Listen to me carefully! I, Jane Sheen, had never stolen your man away from you! You were the one who abandoned Alex in the first place! Alex is a human being! He is not a robot. He is not an animal at your beck and call. Since you were the one who abandoned him back then, then Alex is mine! Not long after you've left, Alex and I got together. In the past decade, I've been the one accompanying Alex. We ate together, slept together, and had a child together! what about you? Have you ever slept with my Alex for a day? You kept saying that I was the one who had stolen your man. Were you just severely obsessed with him or did you just want to go overboard bullying others? Do you think that I am easy to bully? Lily Parker, let me tell you something! You still owed me a life!
You had killed Noah! I still haven't settled the score with you yet! Let's settle the score today! I won't kill you because my man had made a promise to Old Master Parker. I won't take your life, but punishment is inevitable for you today!"
Lily was at loss for words.
Jane signaled to Isadora with her eyes. "Drag her into the unoccupied alley across the street!"
"Yes!" Isadora immediately answered. Upon saying that, Isadora strangled Lily's throat with one hand so that Lily could not let out a sound, and then she directly put Lily over her shoulder and brought her to the dead-end not far away. Only then did Isadora smile. "Guess what I'll do to you today?"
Chapter 2067 Hearing Jane saying that, Lily instantly went mad. "Jane Sheen, you're a b*tch! B*tch! You had stolen everything away from me!

"Jane, tell me what you want me to do!" Ruth immediately answered.

Chapter 2069 "When I was nine years old, my family was very poor and I couldn't afford to wear shoes. It so happened that I saw you throwing out a pair of shoes into the trash can one day. I had waited until you left before I went to pick it up. You no longer wanted the shoes, so I picked them up to wear them. What's wrong with that? However, you actually came back. You snatched away the shoes I picked up and you asked me to bark like a dog while being on all fours on the ground. You asked me to do many things.
If I didn't do it, then you just won't give me those shoes. Later on, I did it all, but you cup up those shoes!"
Lily was speechless. She remembered. There was indeed such an incident. Originally, there was no need for her, a young lady from an eminent family, to personally throw the shoes out. However, she had seen a little girl, who was about her age, sneaking around and looking for something next to the trash can. Lily figured that she was a little beggar. Lily wanted to tease the little beggar, so she took a pair of her shoes that she was going to throw out to tease the little beggar.
At that time, Lily felt that it was too fun, and she did not care about it too much. Lily even felt that such a shabbily dressed little beggar surely was not able to survive that winter, so since then, that little beggar never crossed Lily's mind anymore. However, never in a million years would Lily have expected that that little beggar was actually Isadora.
Lily sincerely felt hopeless, she felt that perhaps she was destined to be beaten up in this life. She was not beaten up by Ruth, she was beaten up by Yvonne. If she was not beaten up by Alex, she was beaten up by Holden. At that moment, she was even going to be beaten up by that little beggar from back then.
Isadora truly was more ruthless than men when it comes to beating someone up. Also, Isadora deliberately chose to strike on Lily's soft tissues. It was not going to kill Lily, but it was painful enough that Lily was not even able to wail in pain. In the end, Lily was so badly beaten up that her clothes were also all torn up to the point of being unable to fully cover her body.
Before Isadora left, she said to Lily, "Jane is my sister! she will be just like my real sister in this life. You will never die, but if you dared to find trouble with my sister and her child again, I will make a fool out of you every time, and each time will be more severe than the last. Go ahead as long as you're not afraid to make a fool of yourself!"
After saying that, Isadora went away. What was left behind was Lily in tattered clothes that were barely able to cover her up. Lily truly did not dare to walk out of the dead end before nightfall. Even if the night had fallen, Lily also could not go out. That made Lily feel so incomparably hopeless that she was not even able to shed a tear anymore.
After Isadora came out of the alley, she went to find Jane, Sabrina, and Ruth. The few of them were playing at the open-air amusement park with the children. Isadora came to them. "Don't worry, Jane. This won't happen again in the future. Even if such a thing were to occur, I will also move in at the speed of light to protect you and your child. With me around, I will never let any danger come to you."
After taking a pause, Isadora glanced at Ruth again. "Ruth, I will also take care of your safety in the future."
"Me?" She was slightly in disbelief. She had quite a good relationship with Isadora, but it was not as good as Isadora's relationship with Jane.
Isadora smiled shyly, glanced at Sabrina, and then continued, " Ruth, I know that Sabrina actually is worried about you being alone in Kidon City. Am I right, Sabrina?"
Sabrina nodded. That was indeed the case.
"To let Sabrina have no worries in the future and also for the sake of our friendship, I will be responsible for protecting you in the future!" Isadora said.
Ruth immediately hugged Isadora. "Wow! Thank you, Isadora! I love you very much!"
Sabrina also smiled in relief. She thought to herself that since Ruth would have Isadora's protection in Kidon city in the future, she would not have to worry about Ruth anymore. Great! The next thing she wanted was for Ruth's wedding to be smooth.
Fourteenth of February came very quickly.
Chapter 2070 Fourteenth of February was the time when the weather was chilly. However, to the Grand Enigma Hotel, spring was in the air.
Plenty of beauties and noble women from all over the country had gathered in that super luxurious hotel that day. However, the most beautiful lady that day was the bride, Ruth.
Ruth's wedding dress, which was worth more than one million dollars, was custom tailored for her by Sabrina from abroad when Sabrina herself had never even worn such a fantastic wedding dress before.
Ruth, who was sitting in the dressing room, cried so much that her eyes were slightly reddened. "Sabrina, I truly am very lucky to have met you in this life. I had lost my parents and my home. If not for you and Yvonne, I might have died already. However, because I have met you and Yvonne, not only did I meet the love of my life, but I even married into a rich family. You're like my parents, my sister, and my mainstay for everything. Sabrina, how come you're so nice to me?"
Sabrina picked up some tissues on the table and gently wiped Ruth's tears for her. "Don't cry anymore. You're the bride today. If you cry any more, it would be difficult to put on your makeup. I am nice to you because I never had any friends growing up. You and Yvonne are the only two friends I have. Compared to Yvonne, you're more..."
There was a pause before Sabrina said, "Yvonne has her parents and her brother. She is doing slightly better than you, so I have to take care of you a little more."
Ruth leaned against Sabrina. "Sabrina, you're really nice."
To think that she had almost beaten Sabrina to death back then. However, Ruth was not as smart as Sabrina. Not only did she fail to scheme against Sabrina, but she was plotted against by Sabrina instead. The worst time was when she got her bottom badly injured after being plotted against by Sabrina, when she recalled the past, it was rather heartwarming and quite funny as well. It was both amusing and heartbreaking at the same time. Ruth's eyes were welled up with tears again.
That was because she knew that if it were not for Sabrina and Sebastian backing her up at that wedding, even if she had her aunt's family behind her, she also would not be able to establish a firm footing in that place. That was because although there was a huge crowd who came to attend the wedding, every one of them was of noble birth. Also, they were all friends of the groom. It was inevitable for Ruth to be anxious.
Sabrina solemnly reassured her, "You are the star today. You don't owe anybody anything. You're the most beautiful bride, and you have to be confident!"
Ruth nodded. "Mm-hmm. Confident!"
"Must be confident!"
"Must be confident!"
However, even though Sabrina had cheered her on like that, when Ruth saw the guests who came, she still became timid, she was so timid that it was as if Ryan was the husband that she had stolen. That was especially the case when Ruth happened to hear what those people were whispering to each other.
"Look! I have long heard about her, but today was the first time I saw her. I truly had never expected that the little young master of the Poole family actually so hardcore."
"Haha! You don't know, right? There is such a kind of person in this world who has had plenty of exquisite delicacies, so he simply wanted to have the most unattractive, most unpresentable, and most foul-smelling food."
"The little young master of the Poole family is that kind of person who loves to have the most foul-smelling food." 1 "Haha!"
"I heard that she is very shrewish, right?"
"She is not just shrewish. It seems like she...doesn't really know how to read and write."
"She's illiterate? No way? That.seems unlikely."
"What's the point of me lying to you? It seems that she did not even graduate from middle school and barely knew a few words!"
"My goodness..."
"Then, isn't she like those servants in the fairy tale and she married our young prince of Kidon city?"
