Ch. 21..30

Chapter 21 Sabrina plainly sneered and rolled her eyes at Selene.

What is she knew?

What if she did not know?

Sabrina always knew that the Lynn family must have known who that man was, and she knew it too! It must have been a rival that the Lynn family wanted dead, but they couldn't kill that man openly, so they let her accompany him before he was laid in the grave.

The man had died because of excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure.

"I don't want to," Sabrina said.

"You..." Selene raised her hand and slapped Sabrina across the face. "Even if you don't want to know, you still have to know. I am going to tell you the truth today. I have to let you be enlightened before you die. Did you know why you boarded in our Lynn family for eight years?

Did you know why my mother and I hate you? Did you think it's because you live in our house, and we fed and clothed you? Sabrina, haven't you thought of any other reasons?"

Sabrina raised her gaze to look at Selene.

She had indeed always wanted to know why her mother had sent her to the Lynn family for foster care when she was only 12 years old. Moreover, why did the Lynn family ostracize her and despise her at every turn when they had clearly promised her mother to adopt her?

The cause of her mother's death too! Sabrina was eager to know all that.

Selene looked at Sabrina with a hideous and smug expression. "That's because you were originally..."

Bang!

The door of the warehouse was slammed open with a heavy blow.

Countless men who were fully armed and had weapons in their hands swarmed in immediately.

A man in full black stood in the middle as the crowd surrounded him.

"Darling...Sebastian?" Selene was so frightened. The colors drained from her face.

The men Sebastian brought took down all useless hooligans who kidnapped Sabrina at lightning speed by beating them one by one into the ground. All of the hooligans were moaning and wailing.

Selene was speechless from being frightened.

Sebastian approached Sabrina and stopped in front of her. He looked at the girl tied to the pillar with no expression on his face. The colors on the girl's face were drained, and only sorrow and despair were left. However, when she saw Sebastian came with his men, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. She slowly flushed red and liveliness. Her eyelashes were still fluttering, and tears could not stop falling.

She had indescribable emotion for him at this moment.

It was the kind of dependence that came after having survived a catastrophe.

The man tensed up his angry face and untied Sabrina. Sabrina suddenly went limp, and with a sudden swift movement, Sebastian picked her up immediately.

He held Sabrina and came to the front of Selene with a frosty expression as if he was Hades. He raised his foot and wanted to fiercely kick Selene without saying a word.

Sebastian was wearing a steel-toe combat boot, and the strength he lifted his leg was fast and ruthless. If that kick landed on Selene, she would be disabled even if she did not die.

However, when Sebastian's foot almost touched Selene's body his cold and angry gaze met Selenes's extremely desperate and aggrieved face.

His foot stopped.

The tip of his foot was right inf front of the tip of Selene's nose.

He put down his foot. While Sebastian carried Sabrina out the door, he said in a low and faint tone, "Except for this woman, cut out everyone else's tongues and crack all the bones in their bodies before handing them over to the law enforcement."

"Yes, Master Sebastian!" The man watched Sebastian leave with Sabrina in his arms.

Sabrina buried herself in Sebastian's chest in fear. Her whole body was shivering. She knew how vicious Sebastian was, but she has never witnessed it with her own eyes. Today, she finally experienced how unwaveringly vicious this man could be.

However, those people deserved it.

Nothing to pity about.

Sabrina, on the other hand, was almost tortured and killed by Selene.

Sabrina, who was lying on Sebastian's shoulder, slowly raised her head and looked at Selene with extremely innocent eyes.

Sabrina was sent to the hospital, and the doctor said after the examination, "Only soft tissue concussions were sustained, nothing serious."

Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief, and her fears that were at an extreme level gradually calmed down. She had been kidnapped for several days, so she wondered how Grace was in the past few days.

"Mr. Ford, thank you for saving me. Is Aunt Grace...okay?" Sabrina looked at Sebastian gratefully and asked.

"Not good!"

Sabrina said, "...Aunt Grace... What's wrong?"

"In the intensive care unit," Sebastian said with a plain expression.

Recently, Sabrina visited and took care of Grace at the hospital everyday, and Grace had already gotten used to it. Suddenly, Sabrina was not around anymore, so Grace's illness got worse. Grace's body that had been gradually getting weaker, became even worse that she almost died.

It was because of that, Sebastian initially thought Sabrina had evil thoughts at the sight of riches after she received the emerald green bracelet. Hence, she sold the bracelet and ran away with the money. Therefore, he initially planned to find and shred her into a million pieces.

However, he never expected that Sabrina was kidnapped by Selene.

"Aunt Grace, Is she...still alive" Is she still alive?" Sabrina agitatedly grabbed Sebastian's hands and said, "Please, please take me to see Aunt Grace now."

Sebastian took Sabrina to the intensive care unit. Through the glass, Sabrina could see that Grace was covered with tubes and was in a coma.

Sabrina's face was covered in tears.

She had no family in this world, and Grace was the only warmth in her heart. She did not expect that she was also this important to Grace. Sabrina was so important that Gace's condition became so aggravated because she could not find Sabrina.

"Aunt Grace...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Aunt Grace you must wake up, must wake up, let me take care of you again for a while, okay? I had no other family. My mother is also dead, Aunt Grace..." Sabrina sobbed uncontrollably.

Behind her, Sebastian's assistant Kingston--could not help but feel moved. "Master Sebastian, after observing for some time, I felt that this... woman does not look like someone who was plotting against Madam. I visited and interviewed many female prisoners after that, and they all said this woman indeed had a very good relationship with Madam when they were in prison. On the contrary..."

Kingston looked at Sebastian's expressions and continued. "On the contrary, Miss Selene could unexpectedly do that kind of thing. If you arrived one second later, this woman, Sabrina, may have been..."

Kingston's words stopped mid-sentence.

Sebastian looked ahead with no expressions and said after a while, "Go and find out what is the relationship between Sabrina and the Lynn family"

"Yes, Master Sebastian." Kingston left after he received the order.

When Sebastian turned around, Sabrina was lying outside the intensive care unit and was still refusing to leave. She was still crying.

At that moment, the doctor came out and said, "The patient is conscious."

Sabrina was frozen at first but she immediately rushed into the intensive care unit, lunged at Grace's bedside and shouted eagerly, "Mom, mom, mom..."

Grace gradually opened her eyes and saw that it was Sabrina in front of her. She immediately shouted in surprise, "Sabbie, you....Where had you been?"

Chapter 23 "Mom, I'm sorry." Sabrina's tears fell on the corner of Grace's blanket. Her voice was a little hoarse from crying. "I just joined the company, so I had to obey the arrangements of my boss.

My boss made a last-minute decision to send me on a business trip for a few days, so I couldn't come to see you on time."

"It's my bad. My health is getting increasingly worse ."

The tubes on Grace's body had not yet been removed. She looked at her body, then said with a bitter smile, "I do not know if I could still open my eyes again after closing them..."

"Mom, don't say that. I do not want you to leave me. If you have left me, then I would be very lonely. I do not have much family in this world." Sabrina laid under Grace's nose and cried her heart out.

Sabrina was just rescued, but she did not return to Sebastian's place. She spent the whole day at the hospital taking care of Grace instead. Sabrina helped Grace clean her body, washed her hair, and clipped her nails. Grace was initially at the brink of passing, but the colors on her face became much better again.

Sabrina did such a thorough job caring for Grace, that Sebastian, the biological son, seemed redundant. Most of the time, he just stood quietly on the side and watched the pair of fake mother and daughter-in-law as they talked and laughed.

After Sabrina watched Grace fall asleep, she left the hospital to return to Sebastian's and her place.

When she arrived home, Sabrina returned the emerald green bracelet to Sebastian before returning to her bedroom. "Such a valuable thing, I'd better return it to you."

The bracelet was placed on Sabrina's hand again by Sebastian when they were on the way to the hospital. He looked at Sabrina, did not accept the bracelet, but said soberly, "The bracelet is not for you, but for you to wear it to console my mother's heart."

Sabrina smiled faintly. "I had never presumed that you would give me anything valuable either."

After Sebastian saved her this time, Sabrina had more to say to Sebastian.

"Mr. Ford, when I first met with Aunt Grace, it was Aunt Grace who approached me. She saw that I was young, so she pitied me and took care of me. One thing led to another, and then we got more acquainted."

"After that, her health deteriorated. She could not do the work that was overloaded. It was me who helped her to finish."

"This was the friendship we built when we were in prison."

"I had never been the scheming liar you thought I was."

"Also, please properly deal with your relationship with your girlfriend, Selene Lynn. I don't want to have this kind of fatal disaster a second time."

As soon as she finished, she placed the bracelet on the antique and went into her bedroom without waiting for him to say anything.

Sebastian suddenly had a feeling of being turned away from her.

His deep, bottomless cold eyes couldn't help but took another look at her.

Her short bob hair was a bit disheveled, and her slightly swollen and red cheeks looked crystal clear, which made her seem good-looking, charming yet pitiful. However, her expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and her eyes were unwaveringly calm.

She had once again returned to that calm and innocent state as if everything in the world and the surroundings had nothing to do with her.

As a girl who just survived the catastrophe, the man suddenly wondered should she not have taken advantage of him by changing her attitude towards him to act cute or give a flattering smile to him?

She did neither.

It was as if she was living in her world.

A person like her could not possibly be a scheming liar.

She seemed more like a weak soul who had wrapped herself up in a shell because she had been through many hardships and was used to seeing the insidiousness of the world.

Sebastian had a heart-wrenching feeling.

His phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Selene calling. He tapped the answer button and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?!"

"Master Sebastian..." Selene sobbed. Her teeth chattered as she spoke, "I know I'm dead this time. I didn't mean anything else. I only wanted to apologize to you. I would disappear from your view forever after I'm clear with you. Could you come down to see me once, Master Sebastian?

If you don't come down to see me, then I would stay here in the rain until you do."

Chapter 24 "It's raining?" Sebastian came to the balcony and looked out. It really was raining. He then looked further down and saw a woman kneeling in the rain while looking up at his floor.

Sebastian took an umbrella and went down.

"Master Sebastian, Master Sebastian... You were willing to come down to see me." Selene's lips were frozen purple. She crawled on her knees to the front of Sebastian and hugged his legs.

"Master Sebastian, listen to me. If you let me finish then I wouldn't mind if you beat me to death.

Please give me a chance to defend myself."

As he looked at this woman who groveled and behaved so lowly, Sebastian felt extremely disgusted in his heart. He was so close to kicking her to death yesterday.

However, it was because she had used her body to save his life that allowed him to take control of the Ford Group successfuly.

His foot stopped right at the moment he was about to kick her.

The disgust he had in his heart for this woman, however, was increasing by the day.

This woman was not as obedient and helpless as the night when she saved his life. He had already promised her that he would marry her two months later, but she frequently did things that made him furious.

As she noticed Sebastian did not move his legs to leave, Selene then laid at his feet. She raised her tearful face and said with a slurred speech, "Did you know, Master Sebastian? I had already begun to like you even before you were exiled to a foreign country by the Ford family. However, I also knew you were an ambitious person, so you would not consider any girlfriend before you managed to take control of the Ford family."

"All I could do was to wait silently and hoped that I could help you."

"Finally, the day I had been waiting for had arrived, and I had the chance to save your life. I used my body to save your life, but I did not think I could marry you. I knew I did not deserve you. I still do not deserve you even if I had ten versions of me combined."

"However, you promised to marry me."

"You made a promise to me that we would be married two months later, but you held a wedding with Sabrina. What kind of person could bear it?"

"I love you too much Master Sebastian. When I saw you holding a wedding with another woman, I really couldn't stand it. I wanted to find someone to teach her a lesson. I didn't think that group of hooligans would rob Sabrina. I didn't know. I never wanted to let Sabrina die, I only wanted to force her to leave you."

"I don't want to lose you, I love you, Master Sebastian."

"I'm sorry."

"From now on, I would never bother you again."

Selene let go of Sebastian's legs and slowly crawled off.

Sebastian instantly threw the umbrella away, then helped Selene up.

Selene plunged into his embrace, "Master Sebastian, you...You have forgiven me, haven't you?

Have you forgiven me?" Her eyes radiated with a villainous aura as she said that.

This method of acting pitiful and showing weakness was a tactic to her by her mother.

This tactic worked really well.

Sebastian calmly said, "I said I would marry you and take you as my wife two months later. I would never go back on my words. As Sebastian Ford's fiancee, do not give me any trouble in the future."

"No more, no more, Master Sebastian. I would do as I'm told. I would definitely do as I'm told. I would never do it again!" Selene quickly and repeatedly nodded her head.

Sebastian's phone rang at this moment and he immediately picked it up. "Hello..."

Chapter 25 The call was from Henry.

The old man's tone was both commanding and consultative, "Sebastian, since you said that woman was there to console your mother, your grandma and I decided to arrange a casual family banquet this weekend. The girls of age from the noble and distinguished families of both South City and KIdon City would also come to the banquet..."

"I'm not going!" Sebastian mercilessly refused before the old man could finish his words.

The old man on the other end had no choice but to soften his tone even more." Sebastian, don't hang up the phone so quickly. Could you let grandpa finish words?"

Sebastian did not respond.

"Sebastian?"

"I'm listening!"

"When it comes to the Ford family business matters, I would not intervene. However, I am already 96 years old this year, you couldn't let me die before seeing you married and have children before that, right? If you have a fancy to one of the girls who would be coming to the banquet, then that would definitely be the best, but if you do not have any person you like, I would not force you." The old man was almost pleading to Sebastian towards the end of his sentence.

Sebastian took a look at Selene, who was still drenched in the rain, and replied indifferently, "FIne."

After he hung up, he said to Selene, "Prepare yourself in these few days and follow me to the Ford family to meet my grandpa this weekend."

Selene's surprised eyes lit up. "Master Sebastian, you...What did you say? You want me to go to the Ford family with you..."

"Yes, follow me to the Ford family to meet my elders," Sebastian said, still without expression.

He was not going to pick any woman.

In his lifetime, it would be impossible for Sebastian to form profitable connections through marriages. It would be even more impossible for him to pick any girls from respected families.

His wife in this life could only be Selene, even if they did not have feelings for each other.

However, there was a sense of responsibility.

Sebastian would not let the woman he had slept with be like his mother, who had to be with his father but remained unrecognized and anonymous in her lifetime.

Since it could only be Selene in this lifetime, he should take Selene to meet the elders. He could also kill any ideas the women who came to the party had on him.

"Meeting the elders, I'm really going to meet Sebastian's elders. Hehe, so happy." Selene muttered to herself. She had already forgotten that Sebastian was in front of her and she was still in the rain. She muttered to herself, "What would I wear? I must be the most well-dressed. I want to crush those women who would steal my husband!"

Selene suddenly remembered Sebastian was still in front of her while muttering, so she immediately shut up again. She then said to Sebastian in an ingratiating manner, "Master Sebastian, you can rest assured, I would definitely dress modestly and elegantly this weekend, and would never bring you shame. Also, I would always remember that I am Sebastian Ford's woman. I would do as I am told! See you, Master Sebastian."

With that, Selene dived into the rain again.

"Stand still!" Sebastian shouted in a clear voice.

He was going to tell her to wait and let the driver take her back. She was his fiance, so of course, he could not let her go back in the rain.

However, Selene immediately turned around and looked at Sebastian with surprise. "Master Sebastian, did you want to ask me about Sabrina?"

Sebastian replied, "Hmm?"

"You had told me to be obedient, so I didn't dare to tell you. However, me being your fiance, I still needed to remind you that Sabrina had already been misbehaving since she was in school. She spent all day fooling around with people in bars. As a result, an older man took a fancy to her and wanted to take advantage of her. She then killed that man by mistake, which led to her imprisonment."

"Later, when she was in jail, she also misbehaved..." Selene deliberately stopped the words halfway.

She was observing Sebastian's expression.

Sebastian's expression was calm and unreadable.

Selene continued, "She must have an agenda for approaching your mother. You must not let her deceive you...I...I also knew that for men, especially such a powerful man like you, having a few women around is normal, I would not be jealous."

"However, sabrina is really filthy, and her private life is very messy. I'm afraid she is not good for your health."

"Master Sebastian..."

Sebastian had a calm face.

Chapter 26 Sabrina called out again, "Master Sebastian..."

Sebastian picked up his phone and dialed a set of numbers. "Kingston, come over and send Miss Lynn home right away."

Selene was speechless.

After he hung up, Sebastian said coldly and mercilessly, "Wait here, Kingston would be here in three minutes and he would send you home."

He went into the elevator himself, pressed the [UP} button, and the elevator closed.

Selene was left stunned and alone in the rain.

Three minutes later, Kingston came. He backed up the car to the front of Selene, wound the window down and shouted, "Miss Lynn, get in quickly, don't get wet."

"Are you a dead man?" Selene's expression immediately changed.

Kingston looked puzzled.

"I'm the fiance of Master Sebastian. As his driver, shouldn't you come down, open the door for me, and then bend your legs for me as a carriage step?"

Kingston was speechless.

After a few seconds, Kingston got out of the car without saying a word. He opened the door, then bent one of his knees and respectfully said, "Miss Lynn, please get in."

Selene then arrogantly said, "That's more like it!"

After everything that happened this night, Selene understood Sebastian would take her as his wife no matter what she did wrong.

This is because Sebastian firmly believed that she was the woman who used her innocence to save his life that night.

Would it not be a piece-of-cake if she wanted to crush Sabrina in the future with this immunity card?

Humph!

Selene happily rode home in Kingston's car.

On the other hand, Sebastian went upstairs. He opened the door, and when he passed by the bathroom from the entrance, Sabrina happened to exit the bathroom at the same time.

A refreshing smell that came out of the bath rushed to his face.

The kind body fpam and shampoo were cheap in quality, but both were light and clean types.

They were not pungent but were easy to the nose instead.

Sabrina was wrapped in a white bath towel and dried her wet hair with another dry towel on her hands. She did not see Sebastian, and she continued to walk in the direction of the bedroom, then she bumped into Sebastian.

She even stepped on Sebastian's shoes with one foot.

"Ah..." Sabrina was shocked and she panicked. "You...You...Weren't you back in your own room? Didn't your room have...all the facilities? Why...why did you come out?"

She was most afraid meeting Sebastian.

She had been intentionally drying her body off the first past times in order not to meet with him.

However, she had not bathed for several days because of the kidnapping and really smelled, so she took a longer time in the bathroom.

She had never expected to bump into Sebastian again.

Sabrina was so incoherent that she forgot that her bathrobe had dropped, and Sebastian was surveying her with a sullen and cold face.

The first thing that came into view was the several glaring bruises and strangulation marks on her delicate and moist arms.

It was on her chest, back, legs, and everywhere. Those strangulation marks that were present ion her soft skin suddenly made Sebastian have a kind of impulse.

Sabrina also realised that her bathrobe fell at the same time. She used her to cover herself and screamed suddenly, "Ah..

Chapter 27 Sebastian did not withdraw his cold gaze because of Sabrina's scream. He surveyed Sabrina with a serious gaze. Sabrina fiercely pushed Sebastian away, picked up the bathrobe, and wrapped hersslef. She quickly rushed into the small guest bedroom.

Her tears streamed down her eyes the moment she closed the door.

The sense of shame, only she knew how stifling it was.

She wiped off the tears that she could not control with her wrist =, and when she was about to get her clothes, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open. She shivered in shock.

She looked up and saw that Sebastian had a first aid kit in his hand.

Sabrina used a bath towel to cover her front. "You...What are you doing?"

The man did not say anything but raised his hand to grab her by the arm. He made her lie on the bed with a flipping motion. A cooling medicine was applied to her back before she could react.

Sabrina's back had several strangulation maarks that even she could not see by herself. She only knew she felt a burning pain in her back when she was in the bath. Now, after Sebastian had applied the ointment, that burning pain was instantly relieved.

There were strangulation marks everywhere on her legs. She laid on bed and felt so ashamed that she could not say a word. She did not even know he already applied the medicine on her whole back.

He got up again and flipped her over.

Sabrina was even more ashamed that she wanted to die.

She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her hands, and gritted her teeth.

She did not know what would happen next.

Sabrina did not dare to resist him. She saw with her own eyes how he viciously punished the group of hooligans. She had made up her mind that as soon as he took advantage of her, she would break into his room and fumble his things around to get herself shot to death with arrows!

It was to let herself die right in front of him.

However, the time had passed by the seconds. After all the strangulation marks on her body were evenly coated by the ointment, the man did not do anything next.

She saw a dark, sullen, and eerily cold face.

She had never seen such an expression on Sebastian before, and it was a disgusted expression that wanted to hack her death.

Sarbina suddenly remembered that Sebastian had always been very disgusted by her.

If she did not have a consoling effect on Grace's conditions, Sebastian might have turned her into a corpse long agp.

How could he have taken advantage of her?

Sabrina wrapped herself in a bath towel and looked at Sebastian with a pale and cold expression, "I know everything you did to me was because of your mother, so don't worry, I would never pester and harass you because you touched me. If I don't keep my word, I would die a horrible death!"

She never looked at him again.

The man closed his eyes, secretly took a deep breath, and then said with an incomparable coldness, "Good that you knew!"

After he said that, he turned around and left while carrying the first aid kit.

The door was closed with a bang.

After he left Sabrina's guest bedroom, Sebastian entered the bathroom and took a cold bath for more than an hour.

The next day.

Sebastian got up very early as he had tp take an early flight to neighboring country. Once he go tup, he warmed up the milk and sandwiches to eat. It so happened that Sabrina also got up very early. She saw Sebastian eating breakfast at the dining table, but she acted as if she did not see anybody.

"Come here!" Sebastian called out in a low voice.

Sabrina bit her lip. "Can I help you?"

"Have breakfast before you head out."

"I'm not used to eating breakfast," Sabrina said indifferently and walked to the entrance to open door.

She left and gave Sebastian a view of her back that seemed solitary.

Sabrina was not used to eating breakfast. It was not because she did not want to eat, but because she suffered from being ostracized by them in the eight years she boarder with the Lynn family. Every meal she had with the Lynn family seemed like a torment.

Therefore, she went out to school early every morning. She had no money to buy breakfast on the road, so she always had to endure hunger until noon to eat in the cafeteria.

When she left the house and took the bus to Grace's ward, Grace had just woken up.

"Mom." Sabrina smiled gently. "I brought you your favorite cream puffs, I'll watch you finish your breakfast before I go to work."

However, Grace put the cream puffs aside, took Sabrina's hand and asked earnestly, "Sabbie, tell me. You haven't come to see mom in the past few days. What happened?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you thinking about?! I was on a business trip," Sabrina said as she pretended to be angry.

Sabrina shook her head. "Silly child, don't forget that I had also been imprisoned for many years.

You don't know why I was imprisoned, but I had seen how insidious humans could be, and I had seen much more than you had, so you wouldn't be able to hide it from me. When I woke up yesterday, I saw your face was red and swollen. You still have finger marks on your face."

Sabrina was speechless.

With Grace's life experience, it truly was no easy feat to deceive her.

"Was it the Lynn family that you used to board with? They had seen that not only did you get out of prison, but also married so well. Hence they were jealous of you. Wasn't it?" grace asked.

Sabrina did not know how to answer.

It was indeed true that her face was beaten by Selene, and she almost lost her life in Selene's hands.

However, Selene was Grace's real daughter-in-law.

"Mom, it wasn't like that. How would the Lynn family dare to offend me now? You must have been mistaken yesterday. My face was a little swollen yesterday, but that was because I stayed up all night for the few days I was on a business trip. It's really fine. Mom, hurry up and eat. I have to go to work after you finish." Sabrina brushed Grace off by changing the topic.

Grace also did not ask further questions, but smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

After she watched Grace finish her meal, Sabrina left the hospital and hurried to the company.

Sabrina should have gone directly to the construction site to do odd jobs, but she missed several days of work in a row, so she was unsure if the design department would still want her.

After she entered the company and arrived at the design department, Sabrina anxiously came to look for the design director. "Sorry director, the past few days I...Something came up at home and couldn't apply for a leave on time..."

The director sneered. "You felt you were at a disadvantage working like a general worker at the construction site, so you were absent without notice for a few days. When in actuality, you went out to find another job, but what was result? You couldn't find another job, and you had the cheek to come back here again?"

Sabrina bit her lip. "No, it's not like this, director."

"Get out!" The director sternly chased Sabrina out. "For people like you! You don't even have a professional diploma, you only saw a lot at the construction sites so that you could produce some drawings. I think you are too law-leveled to be my assistant! Get lost!"

Sabrina was speechless.

This was a job that she found with much effort. She had never expected to be sitting in the office and leisurely producing drawings.

She could move bricks at the construction site. She did not mind.

"Get out!" The director picked up a pile of materials and smashed it on Sabrina, who twisted and dodged them, but she crashed into a person's arms.

"What a coincidence that I met you here," a playful voice said.

Chapter 28 Sabrina jerked up her curly eyelashes and fluttered a few times. She did not remember who the man was at first glance. After a few seconds, she pursed her lips and said, "Master Nigel."

The design director reacted immediately as if the crown prince had arrived. The design director got up from the seat, came to the front of Nigel, and said after courteously bowing and nodding, "Master Nigel, what wind blew you here? Were you...here to inspect the work?"

"What's wrong with this staff?" Nigel asked carelessly.

"With, a new recruit, no education, and no experience, but absent from work for several days.

For such a person, the company could no longer retain her," the design director said.

"I...I would never miss work again. I would work hard to move bricks at the construction site..."

Sabrina was determined to fight for one last chance.

"It's just an architectural assistant, right? Our company is enormous, so we must have compassion. We should give chances to any new recruits. Everybody makes mistakes, so it's fine as long as they rectified their mistakes!" Nigel had a careless tone, but what he said was unexpectedly reasonable.

The design director could not say anything else.

The director could also see that Nigel and this shabby out-of-towner chick seemed to know each other.

Since it was the person Nigel wanted to keep, the design director had nothing else to say.

"There would be no next time!" The director said to Sabrina in a solemn tone, "This time, it was because Master Nigel has decided to keep you, so quickly thank Master Nigel."

Sabrina obeyed and bowed deeply to Nigel. "Thank you, Master Nigel, director. I'll go to work now."

"Return to your desk first," said the director.

"Mm." Sabrina turned around and left.

The design director courteously looked at Nigel. "Master Nigel, who is this girl to you? Do you want to arrange an easy job for her?"

Easy job?

Nigel has seen countless flower-like ladies at the office. Every time he came to the company, those flowers would swarm around him. The way they spoke like a pampered child and the pungent perfume smell made Nigel feel like he had seen enough.

He had now changed his taste.

The chick in front of him--who could resign herself to adversity, had a cold expression, was self- restrained and shabby--has aroused his great interest.

Sebastian also said that this girl was only used to console Nigel's aunt anyway.

Nigel already could not wait to think about the picture.

'Hehe, I look forward to it very much just by thinking about it.' "Of course, we should treat all employees in as strictly business-like manner. She is not someone I knew, let alone my girlfriend, and we also did not leave the back door for her!" Nigel saidwith an extremely stern tone.

"Understood, Master Nigel!" After receiving Nigel's order, the design director came to Sabrina and said with a tense face, "Sabrina, you would still have to go to the construction site after lunch to gain some experience."

Sabrina immediately nodded, "I know, I would go after lunch."

It was good enough to keep the job, so she did not care if it was moving bricks or drawing designs in the office.

At lunchtime, others were in various restraunts frequented by white-collars to eat lunch boxes that costed 20 to 30 USD. Sabrina had no money, so she could only go to those small alleys to buy mushroom sandwiches.

The two together costed three dollars.

Sabrina ate with satisfaction even when she had it with tap water.

"Pretty lady! I had been looking for you for a long time!" Nigel stood in front of Sabrina and said bluntly.

With the half-eaten mushroom sandwich still in Sabrina's mouth, she froze and looked at Nigel.

"Master Nigel..."

"You get to keep your job because of me. Shouldn't you thank me?" Nigel asked with his lips curled and a wicked smile.

"Thank you." Sabrina pursed her lips and sincerely thanked him.

"No sincerity!"

Sabrina said, "What kind of sincerity does Master Nigel need?"

Chapter 29 "At least buy me..." Nigel looked at the small restrauntes in the surrounding. They were either dark and smoky or had a bunch of general workers eating lunch boxes outside.

He pinched his nose. He must go all out if he wanted to get with this self-resteained chick!"

"No matter what, you should at least buy me a ten-dollar lunch box, right?"

"Alright," Sabrina replied promptly.

The two bought a lunch box, the type that had two choices of vegetables and a portion of meat.

Sabrina was full of the two mushroom sandwiches she ate. She sat opposite Nigel and stared at him while he ate.

This feeling was extremely awkward.

It was more awkward because Sabrina, who was sitting opposite Nigel, had an extremely plain expression. As he ate the lunch box that was as tasteless as wax, Nigel really wanted to reach over and recklessly rub on those cold and helpless little cheeks.

The best would be to pull her into his arms and have his way with her.

He did not believe that she would still be as cold and self-restrained.

However, Nigel was a good hunter. When it comes to treating his prey, he had always been very patient.

After the meal, when Sabrina wanted to pay, she found out that Nigel had already paid the bill.

Sabrina was too embarrassed to look at Nigel, "I'm sorry, Master Nigel. This meal should have been on me."

"Are you treating me to a ten-dollar lunch box? Should you not feel sorry? I could tell that you were shabby, so I would take it as you owe me a meal. Wait till you get you first paycheck this month, then you must treat me to something good." Nigel had always been blunt and outspoken.

In South City, Nigel only feared Sebastian.

Other than Sebastian, there was no one else that he was afraid of.

When in South City's territory, everybody who saw Nigel was afraid of him.

However, Sabrina unexpectedly smiled.

Her smile was pure and sincere.

Nigel was stunned by her smile.

"You are a good person," Sabrina said, "Although you speak very bluntly, I could tell that a rich boy like you does not have ill-will. You are also handsome and have a bright personality, so you must have many girls who like you, right? How nice."

Sabrina was truly envious of the feeling when those girls and boys of the right age fell in love, but she could not have the chance anymore.

Nigel was speechless.

"Master Nigel, I have to go to the construction site. When I get my first paycheck, I would definitely treat you to a good one. You could come and find me anytime. Goodbye, Master Nigel." Sabrina left after saying that.

As her watched the view of the gril's back leave, Nigel took his phone and excitedly called Zayn, "Zayn, I bet you I will, the tacky chick that worked odd jobs at the construction site, Iwould definitely get her."

Zayn mocked Nigel and said, "Didn't you say that was Sebastian's woman? You even dared to touch Sebastian's woman. Don't you want your life anymore?"

"She's not even Sebastian's woman!" Nigel said with smug laughter.

Sabrina, who got on the bus, did not know that the young master of the Conor group was having devious ideas about her.

She felt that Nigel was very earnest instead.

He once picked her up from the construction site and sent her to the restaurant where the wedding was held.

Today, he helped her keep her job.

Nigel gave Sabrina a little warm feeling, so she was in a good mood this afternoon. The work on site was very tough, but she did not feel tired. After work, she still went to the hospital to accompany Grace as usual.

However, when she came to the door of the ward, Sabrina saw two women.

It was Jade and Selene, the mother and daughter duo.

Chapter 30 "How did you find your way here?! Get the hell out of here!" Sabrina was furious. It did not matter how Jade and Selene harassed and insulted her, but they came to the ward to harass the seriously ill Grace.

Sabrina picked up her bag and smashed it on Jade.

However, Grace called out to her, "Sabbie..."

Sabrina turned around and looked at Grace. "Mom, don't be afraid, I would beat and chase them out right away."

"Sabbie, I sent someone to call them to come over," Grace said.

Sabrina was puzzled.

When Sabrina turned around, she saw both Jade and Selene looking at Grace--lying on the hospital bed--with frightened faces.

"Mom? You...brought them here?" Sarbina looked at Grace in disbelief.

Grace's face was pale, but she had anauthority that no one dared to disobey." Jade Sullivan, Selene Lynn!"

"Madam Ford..." Jade nervously looked at Grace as if she has met a powerful opponent.

Grace plainly recounted, "Although I was not legitimately married into the Ford family in this life, to belong in the Ford family and raise my son, without a few tricks up my sleeve, did you think my son and I could survive till now? Sabrina had lived with your family for eight years. What she endured during that time was already a thing of the past, I would not mention it again."

"However, she is Sebastian's legitimate wife!"

"You trash! How dared you kidnap the daughter-in-law of the Fprd family and almost beat Sabrina to death! Jade Sullivan! Selene Lynn! Did you think there was no one in charge in the Ford family?"

"If not, did you think I'm an old woman who was dead?"

Sabrina looked at Grace in a surprised manner. "Mom, what have you found out?"

Grace looked at Sabrina with a smile. "Sabbie, don't be afraid, I'm here. I would get justice for you! Although I am lying here in this condition, mmy heart is not confused, and my eyes are not blind."

"You didn't come to see me for a few days, but you weren't on a business trip at all. Rather, you were kidnapped by Selene, weren't you? Your face was swollen and it was Selene who hit you, right?!"

"Mom..."

"They gave you a hard time when you were boarding at their house. Now that they see you married so well, they were jealous of you, right? You remembered that they had the kindness of raising you, but there was no kindness between them and me!" Grace's tone was very light, but it carried a powerful force of its own.

Sabrina did not know what to say.

She knew that Selene was Sebastian's real fiance, but she could not tell Grace the truth.

"Jade Sullivan!" Grace called out again, "There are two options in front of your face. One option is that I have my men torture your daughter to death! Do you think I was only saying it? I am an old woman who does not have much longer to live, I could do anything!"

Jade and Selene knew Grace was serious.

The mother and daughter duo were so frightened that their legs gave way.

Jade knelt and begged in tears. "Madam Ford, would you please spare my daughter? If you spare her from death, then I would do anything you want me to."

Jade wanted to tell Grace that Selene was Sebastian's true fiance, but she did not have the courage. She knew she was in the hands of this old woman who was dying soon, and she could only beg for mercy at this moment.

Selene also knelt in front of Grace with a loud bang on her knees, "Madam Ford, please spare me this time, is that alright? I would never dare to do it again in the future."

Grace did not look at Selene, but only at Jade. "You would do anything you're told?"

Jade quickly and repeatedly nodded her head. "Yes, Madam Ford."
