Selene could tell that Sebastian disliked her immensely.

She felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing her heart, making her feel pain, embarrassed, and annoyed.

However, she was afraid of Sebastian.

She was about to say a few more things with her fake cute voice, but the phone call ended abruptly.

Selene’s heart sank.

“What’s wrong, Selene?” Jade quickly asked.

“Mom…Master Sebastian…He didn’t agree to come and discuss our marriage─ he…wouldn’t find out about it, right?”

Selene started to cry in fear. “He wouldn’t find out that I am impersonating Sabrina, right? Mom, what should we do? Sebastian has the blood of countless people on his hands, I’m scared…”

Both Jade and Lincoln were scared out of their wits too.

The whole family spent the entire afternoon in fear until a maid came to report and said, “Sir, Madam, Sabrina is here. She said she is here to collect her and her mother’s pictures.”

“Tell her to get lost!” Selene immediately released her anger on Sabrina.

At this moment, Selene could only focus on being terrified. She had forgotten that she had asked Sabrina yesterday to come and collect the old pictures of her mother.

What Selene initially intended was to publicly display her affection to Sebastian in front of Sabrina, so that Sabrina would be upset!

However, she did not expect that Sebastian would reject her invite so decisively.

The maid was speechless.

“Hold on! I will go speak to her!” Selene got up and headed out.

The whole afternoon of crying made Selene’s eyes swollen, and her hair was incredibly messy. She forgot to take a look in the mirror and rushed out.

“B*tch! You’re a b*tch that does that kind of business. You would taint my house again every time you come here, and we don’t welcome you! Get lost now!” Selene said viciously.

Sabrina sneered. “Selene, you’re the one who asked me to come to collect my mother’s pictures.”

“Go! Go! Go to hell! Get lost now!” Selene roared unreasonably.

Sabrina was so angry that she laughed.

She surveyed Selene.

Suddenly, Sabrina realized Selene was throwing a temper tantrum for no real reason.

Sabrina put on an innocent expression and asked nonchalantly, “Selene, I could see your eyes are swollen, and your hair is as messy as a chicken’s nest. Could it be that you got pregnant with a random man’s child but got dumped?”

Selene was so furious that she made threatening gestures and wanted to jump on Sabrina. “I’ll beat you to death...”

Sabrina did not even bat an eye but just calmly said, “You dare to beat me to death in front of your house. Could it be that you also wish to rot in prison?”

Selene yelled, “You…You! You go to hell! Go! Right! Now! Go…”

Sabrina sneered, turned around, and left.

She did not have the time to fight with Selene.

She was hungry and needed to eat.

She got hungry easily ever since she was pregnant. She wanted something nutritious but had no money.

She had no choice but to return to where she lived and bought a few mushroom sandwiches from a stall.

As she was enjoying her sandwiches, a man suddenly stood in front of her.

That man was Sebastian’s assistant, Kingston.

She was stunned for a second, but she continued eating her sandwiches. She walked past Kingston without saying a word and headed back to her place.

Things between Sebastian and her were only a contractual deal. Other than having to act in front of Grace, they had no other relations.

Sabrina had never taken the initiative to form connections just for her benefit.

“Miss Scott,” Kingston called behind her. He did not expect that Sabrina would not greet him.

Sabrina turned around. “You called me?”

“Get in the car,” Kinston said briefly.

Sabrina was puzzled.

“Madam would be calling home to inquire today. If she finds out that you and Master Sebastian were not staying together…”

“Understood.” Once they started to act, they needed to stay in character. Sabrina got in the car.

The place they went was not the Ford Residence, but an upscale neighborhood in the city center. Kingston brought Sabrina to the ground floor of the building, and he left after he handed Sabrina over to a lady housekeeper who was in her forties.

“You must be the new Young Mistress, right?” The lady smiled while looking at Sabrina.

Sabrina felt awkward. “…You are?”

The lady introduced herself, “I am Aunt Quinton, the housekeeper who had been serving Madam for more than ten years. Madam specifically called to inform me and asked that I take good care of her daughter-in-law. Quick, follow me.”

This was a high-class duplex suite, which definitely not something any ordinary families could afford, and the luxurious level of the interior did not need further introduction.

Sabrina asked Aunt Quinton, “This place is…”

“This was the Young Master Sebastian’s former residence,” said Aunt Quinton.

Sabrina understood. It was Kingston who picked her up, so perhaps Sebastian would not come here.

This was perfect. She no longer needed to worry about not having any place to stay anymore.

She planned to bring her simple luggage over from the bed rental place tomorrow.

The landline in the living room rang as soon as she sat on the couch. Aunt Quinton picked up the phone, smiled, and said, “It’s Madam. Yes, she’s here, she’s here. Young Mistress just sat on the couch.”

Aunt Quinton passed the landline to Sabrina. “It’s Madam who’s calling.”

Sabrina picked up the phone and said, “Ah...Mom, are you alright?”

Grace asked gently, “Sabbie, tell me, have you gotten used to the place?”

Sabrina answered, “Very well, I have never lived in such a nice house.”

“Where’s the brat? Is he there with you?” Grace asked again.

Sabrina knew very well that if she was here, Sebastian would definitely not come over. However, she still said, “Sebastian would be back soon. I’m waiting for him to have dinner together.”

“Good, good, then I wouldn’t disturb the two of you. I’ll hang up now.”

“Bye, Mom.”

During the evening, Sabrina had a sumptuous dinner and Aunt Quinton even personally drew a bath for her.

“Young Mistress, these are essential oils, bath milk, and rose petals. Using these to soak in the bath would ensure your skin becomes better.”

“I’ve prepared a bathrobe for you and placed it outside the bathroom. You can pick it up when you get out. I will prepare the bed for you now.”

Aunt Quinton was a thoughtful housekeeper.

Sabrina was a little overwhelmed by the pampered treatment she had received.

Sabrina was attracted to the spacious bathroom, the large multifunctional bathtub, fragrant essential oils, and rose petals.

She was living in only rented beds, so she had to use the public showers whenever she needed to clean herself.

She had not had a proper relaxing bath since she came out of prison.

She would not waste this great opportunity today.

After soaking for some time, Sabrina felt that her whole body was comfortable, and she started to feel sleepy.

In a drowsy state, she climbed out of the bathtub, her body was still wet, and she opened the door to reach for the bathrobe. However, she collided with a tall and well-built body.

“Ah…!” Sabrina screamed at the top of her lungs in shock.

Sebastian was also stunned as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Sabrina’s body was not covered, and her skin flushed a little red after the bath. Her short wet hair was messily scattered, and her palm-sized face was covered with water droplets and steam.

Standing shivering before Sabastian in this way made her look helpless.

Sebastian was not wearing much as well.

He had a tall and strong figure with well-defined muscles, bronzed skin, broad shoulders, and narrow hips. His solid and steel-like right arm had two frightening scars, but it fully highlighted his masculine dominance and overbearing force.

When Sabrina saw his scars, her whole heart contracted as she was frightened.

However, she was also embarrassed as he completely saw her whole body.

She covered her front in panic, but no matter how she tried to cover it, some parts could still be seen. She stretched her trembling arm to reach for the bathrobe as she wanted to put it on, but her hand was shaking like crazy.

“I… I thought you were not coming back. Why…Why did you come back?” Her teeth were chattering, and her whole face flushed like the branding iron.

She got the bathrobe, but she could not put it on properly.

After she wore the robe with great difficulty, she realized the robe was so long that the edges dragged to the ground.

Sabrina then realized that it was a men’s bathrobe. It was wide, big, and long.

She simply wrapped herself with the bathrobe and walked out, but the more nervous she was, more trouble followed her. She stepped on the bottom of the bathrobe, and her whole body fell over.

“Ah…!” Sabrina let out another scream.

Sebastian raised an arm and pulled her in so that she did not fall.

The man smelled a familiar scent as if he had smelled it before from somewhere. He gently closed his eyes and lowered his head onto the back of her neck.

Sabrina cried out in fear. “Let go of me…”

Sebastian was suddenly awoken.

“D*mn,” he cursed. He picked up a bath towel and wrapped Sabrina up. He carried her to the second bedroom and threw her onto the big bed before turning around to leave.

Bang! The room door was shut.

He walked into the bathroom, turned on the cold shower, and sprayed himself furiously.

Sabrina was curled up on the bed in the second bedroom, hugging her legs and blaming herself deeply. Why did she not resent his hug at all?

‘Sabrina Scott, do you really want to marry into a wealthy family?’

‘You are too shameless!’

‘Sebastian was so disgusted by you. How could he possibly be interested in you, a woman who just came out of prison and is now pregnant with a child?’

‘Do not let Sebastian despise you from the bottom of his heart.’

She spent a restless night in the second bedroom. She woke up early the following day and saw no one in the living room. Hence, she picked up a notepad and left a note.

Her penmanship was as strong, neat, and sharp as the last time. ‘Please excuse me, Mr. Ford, I thought you wouldn’t come back here to rest, and I offended you by using your bathroom yesterday. As it was in the past, I would pretend that nothing has happened, and I hope you would also do the same.’

After leaving the note, Sabrina went to the hospital to visit Grace.

She did not meet the housekeeper that morning, so she understood that it was Grace who had painstakingly made the arrangement. She wanted Sebastian and Sabrina to spend the night together.

When Sabrina arrived at the ward, Grace’s eyes began to survey her body. “Sabbie, why are you here so early? You should not be out of bed today. You should rest more.”

Sabrina was embarrassed and said, “Mom…don’t talk about it.”

“Tell me. Were you happy last night?” Grace asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Sabrina vaguely nodded, then she flung herself into Grace’s arms.

Grace hugged her and said, “Do you know how well you and Sebastian are suited for each other? I was not mistaken about you two. I would definitely give you a splendid wedding…”

“Thank you, Mom.” Although this was just an act, Sabrina still felt appreciative of Grace.

For Grace, this was not an act.

She truly wanted to give Sabrina a privileged life.

Sabrina spent the whole morning sitting in Grace’s ward to keep her company. She joked and laughed with Grace. As Grace was still a sick person, she needed to close her eyes to rest for a while after a moment of chatting and laughing.

Sabrina left when Grace fell asleep.

She had to hurry up and find a job.

As she walked on the road, she inadvertently saw an advertisement posted on a corner of a billboard at the bus stop. [Recruiting Architectural Assistant]

Sabrina studied architectural engineering in college, but her studies were interrupted by her arrest during her sophomore year. Also, Sabrina had a good relationship with Grace in prison, partly because Grace was also an Architecture Designer with high professional standards.

The two often studied architecture together when they had nothing else to do in prison.

It was such a pity that Sabrina had no university degree, was just released from prison, and was pregnant. Companies that offered positions like this would not want her.

However, she still held the mindset to just try her luck.

Sabrina drew a few structural diagrams that were more practical with a pen and paper. She went to the printing company and paid to have them photographed. After receiving it in her inbox, she hit the send button.

As she finished the matters at hand, she received a call from an unknown number. “Hello?”

“Sabrina.” Selene’s incredibly smug voice could be heard on the other end of the call.

“How did you know my phone number?” Sabrina asked suspiciously.

“Hah!” Selene laughed, “I was able to find out where you lived. Wouldn’t it be too easy for me to know your number?”

“What’s the matter?!” Sabrina asked.

“It was my fault yesterday. I was in a bad mood. You could come around four or five o’clock in the afternoon to collect your mother’s pictures.” Selene’s tone was unusually friendly.

Sabrina was speechless.

She did not contemplate Selene’s drastic change between yesterday and today. She only wanted to get her mother’s pictures out of there quickly.

At around four or five o’clock in the afternoon, Sabrina went to the Lynn Residence again.

She entered the door and gazed blankly at the lady of the house, Jade. “Where are my mother’s pictures? Please hand it to me, and I would leave immediately.”

“Why are you in a hurry, Sabrina?” Jade smiled in an unusually nice manner. “Since you are here, come have a seat.”

“Sorry, not interested!” Sabrina said calmly.

“Wow!” Jade said in an enigmatic tone, “Somebody’s highly conceited. Not even willing to visit the house where you were raised for eight years? It looked like you don’t need the Lynn family’s financial support now? Are you going to marry above your station soon?”

“That’s right! I have found a husband that is a hundred times wealthier than the Lynn family. Perhaps I will be charitable to your family in return in the future.” Sabrina lifted her chin and arrogantly looked at Jade.

Jade was speechless, but her teeth almost broke as she gnashed them in rage.

“Sabrina, you dared to make such a boastful claim? Then bring your rich husband here, and we could all get to know each other.” Selene’s voice came from the door.

Sabrina turned around and saw a man and a woman walked in. The woman was Selene.

The man, to her surprise, was Sebastian.

Sabrina’s heart sank for a moment.

Of course, an honorable single man with such good backgrounds like Sebastian would not be lacking in girlfriends. The reason why Sebastian was married to her was only to let his dying mother leave this world with no regrets.

However, Sabrina never would have expected that Sebastian’s girlfriend would be Selene.

To Sabrina, life was full of irony.

The people who once oppressed her were becoming happier and more honorable. On the other hand, Sabrina had her future ruined, was pregnant but unmarried, and did not even know the name of her child’s father.

Sabrina felt like she was a clown as she looked at the couple that seemed to be a match made in heaven.

It seemed that Selene asking Sabrina to come and collect her mother’s pictures was an excuse. Selene’s true intention was to show off her boyfriend in front of Sabrina deliberately.

After concealing the sadness deep within her heart, Sabrina calmly said, “How would a tainted woman like me find a wealthy husband? I was only joking just now. Since you have a guest, I would not bother you any longer. Please bring my mother’s pictures to me, and I would leave immediately.”

She did not look at Sebastian as if they had not known each other at all.

Sebastian was also expressionless.

He did not want to come to the Lynn family, but he could not disregard the fact that Selene had saved his life before. Hence, he took the time today and made a trip here.

He also did not expect to meet Sabrina here.

Lincoln and Jade were secretly feeling ecstatic after they saw how Sebastian and Sabrina were not acquainted.

Sabrina really had no clue that the man she slept with not only did not die but became the most honorable man in South City overnight.

Selene exchanged a look with her parents for a moment, then said, “Sabrina, my boyfriend just came, and you wish to leave now? That’s too disrespectful. My boyfriend might have mistaken that we had been mistreating you.”

Selene turned around and said to Sebastian, “You had no idea, Darling Sebastian. My family had been paying for her living expenses and studies since she was a teenager, but this girl still misbehaved! She was put in jail during her sophomore year…”

Sebastian shot a disgusting glance at Sabrina, then said to Selene, “Have lesser contact with such despicable characters in the future.”

“As you wish, Darling Sebastian, but she still has to dine with us today. No matter what, she has spent eight years living with us, and my whole family loves her,” Selene said in an extremely gentle and mild manner.

Taking advantage of an angle that was out of Sebastian’s sight, Selene did not forget to smile recklessly at Sabrina.

What Selene wanted was to show Sabrina how sweet she and Sebastian can be.

If it was not for fear of having Sebastian finding out, Selene would have told Sabrina directly, ‘The man that you saved by sacrificing the most precious thing a girl could give is actually the most honorable man in South City, and that man is now my husband.’

She especially wanted to witness with her own eyes how Sabrina would die from anger.

Seeing that the whole Lynn family never mentioned the pictures, Sabrina answered immediately, “I will stay for dinner.”

She was worried she had no place to have dinner anyway.

It did not matter if she was a third-wheel or if she was looked down upon, as long as she could take her mother’s pictures away, it would not be a wasted trip.

After she sat down, only then Jade handed two pictures to Sabrina. Sabrina looked at her mother’s pictures, and her tears almost dripped down instantly.

She had not even managed to find out how her mother died, but right now, she has to eat here. The humiliation in her heart could not be described.

The money Sebastian was going to give her must be claimed. Once she has gotten the money, she would start to investigate her mother’s cause of death.

If it were the Lynn family that had made her mother die, she would make them pay back a hundred times more!

She kept the pictures in her bag and sat alone at the corner of the couch.

The Lynn family members could no longer care about her as they were focused on discussing with Sebastian.

“Young Master Sebastian, what do you think about your marriage with Selene?” The way Lincoln tried to please Sebastian was as petty and low as how people in the olden days would act when wanting the wealthy families to accept their daughter as a mistress.

Still, Lincoln and Sebastian deliberately showed off in front of Sabrina.

“I would marry your daughter! But only after two months.” Sebastian’s tone was cold and detached.

He resented the way the Lynn family discussed marriage matters in front of an outsider.

Also, Sabrina!

Obviously, she was his legal wife, but she acted like all this had nothing to do with her.

She was indeed a scheming manipulator at such a young age.

Seeing how Sebastian was sullen and cold, Lincoln, who was actually his elder, did not even dare to refute anything. He only echoed along and said, “Everything shall follow your arrangement…”

However, Selene acted cutely and said, “Darling Sebastian, I couldn’t wait. The weather is going to turn cold in two months. I wouldn’t look good in the wedding gown then. Can we have our wedding this month, pretty please?”

Sebastian especially despised women who were fake and acted cutely. If Selene had not lost her first time to him, he would have already left.

He replied coldly, “The wedding would be in two months later.”

Selene smiled in an extremely awkward manner. “Alright…Alright.”

She turned her head and glared at Sabrina maliciously.

Sabrina was looking in the direction of the dining room and was not paying attention to their discussion. Did their wedding date have anything to do with her?

She was hungry.

She was pregnant, so she would get hungry easily.

Sabrina sensed Selene’s gaze on her back, so she turned around and asked Selene, “Is it time to eat yet?”

Selene was speechless. Like a punch to cotton, her malicious gaze had no effect on Sabrina.

Sebastian, on the other hand, could not help but steal one more glance at Sabrina.

Seeing Sabrina’s composure, his heart throbbed a little.

The maid served up the dishes, and Sabrina instantly had her eye on the peach pudding cake.

That was Selene’s favorite dessert.

As soon as the cake was placed on the table, Sabrina took it and commenced to eat it before Selene could take it.

“You…” Selene looked at her in disbelief.

Jade was even more furious, but she could not explode because Sebastian was present, so she faked a smile and said, “Sabrina, I didn’t know you like deserts so much?”

“Mm, I had always wanted to try but never could. Today, I finally got to eat it.” Sabrina nodded while she ate.

“Hoho!” Jade laughed as she gritted her teeth. “What else do you want to eat?”

Sabrina looked up and glanced at the dining table. “Salmon, shrimp balls, broccoli…”

She knew they would be cursing her hundreds and thousands of times in their hearts.

However, it was them who insisted that she stayed for dinner.

The baby in her belly was her only family, so the most important thing was to let the baby have a feast.

She has no one in this world to love her, so she could only love herself.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, she placed her fork down and said, “I am full, I am leaving.”

Selene already could not care about acting cute to Sebastian. Instead, she provoked Sabrina with a jealous tone, “It’s night time now, so you had to rush back to start your business, right?”
