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?”

Sabrina froze in place.

She heard Selene’s insult. She wanted to scratch and disfigure Selene’s face.

However, she could not act impulsively.

If she were to make her move, the fight would inevitably be violent. She was afraid she might hurt the baby in her belly.

She laughed and asked, “Are you interested in this kind of business?”

“Tsk!” Selene sneered smugly. “I was just worried for your health, don’t get infected with all sorts of filthy diseases! You would taint my house and create a foul atmosphere.”

“Then why did you invite me to your house, and insist that I stay for dinner? I thought you’re interested in that particular kind of business,” Sabrina spoke calmly, but it was enough to make the whole Lynn family blood boil.

Nobody noticed that at this moment, Sebastian was staring deeply at Sabrina with a pair of sharp eyes that radiated a cold light.

After a moment, he picked up his keys, stood up, and left.

“Darling Sebastian, were you angry…” Selene chased after him.

“If you have contact with this kind of woman again, I would compensate you with a portion of the money, and cancel our engagement!” Sebastian was cold, and he did not even turn his head back.

“I understand, Darling Sebastian, but it’s not worth it for you to be angry at this woman. Let me send you off, Darling Sebastian…” Selene staggered as she chased after him.

“You’re a cursed child! You deliberately drove Selene’s fiancé away, didn’t you? Get out! Get the hell out!” Jade wished she could slap Sabrina to death.

Sabrina turned around and tried to walk away.

“Stop!” Jade shouted aggressively again.

Sabrina turned and looked at Jade, but did not speak.

“Send me 50,000 USD tomorrow.”

“On what grounds?” Sabrina was worked up and asked.

“On the grounds that the Lynn family had raised you for eight years. 50,000 USD for eight years, we didn’t cheat you.” Jade knew that Sabrina could not take out even a 1,000 USD, not to mention 50,000 USD.

Jade wanted to force Sabrina into a dead end.

Lincoln was even shocked by Jade’s actions.

Sabrina was so furious, she laughed. “Two years ago, I took your daughter’s place and served her a sentence for her, wasn’t that to pay my debt? A month and a half ago, you made me stay with a dying man, wasn’t that to pay my debt? I haven’t owed you anything since a long time ago!”

Jade sneered coldly, “As long as you are not afraid that your mother’s grave would be dug out or your mother’s corpse may be exposed in the wilderness, you could choose not to pay.”

“You…” Sabrina clenched her hands into fists and glared at Jade.

After a few seconds, Sabrina forcefully suppressed her anger and said, “Tomorrow! I would send you 50,000 USD!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, she turned around and left.

After leaving the Lynn family’s main entrance, she had tears rolling in her eyes, but she unyieldingly lifted her chin, and did not allow herself to cry.

It was useless to cry.

She had to get 50,000 USD immediately.

50,000 USD was truly a small sum for others, but for her, it was as hard as reaching for the sky.

Outside of the Lynn Residence, Selene pulled Sebastian’s arm while swaying side to side, acting cute. Sabrina pretended not to see them as she walked past them and continued to walk on.

She never expected Sebastian to give her a lift even though they were heading the same way and stayed at the same house.

Selene also did not see Sabrina as she was busy pretending to be wronged with tears pouring down her face. “Darling Sebastian, I know I did not deserve you. I have angered you, haven’t I? I didn’t think of marrying you, I only wanted to save your life that day. I wouldn’t force you if you don’t like me. In the worst case, I would find an old, ugly man in the future who wouldn’t mind my tainted being. I only wanted you to be happy…”

The man knew that what she said was some repeated tactics.

However, when he recalled how she endured everything so weakly and tenderly, he said, “Don’t think nonsense. In two months, our wedding would go on as usual.”

Selene stopped crying and smiled.

The man spoke again, “I like to keep a low profile for everything. You must get used to this if you would like to be involved with me. Understood?”

“I understand, Darling Sebastian. I will remember to keep a low profile for everything!” Selene nodded her head repeatedly.

Sebastian drove off in his car.

After the car was long gone, Selene sneered on the spot and said, “Sabrina, you want to ruin my happiness? No way! One day, I would let you know that I got my happiness by trading off your body and dignity!”

Not far ahead, Sabrina was still walking towards the bus stop. A car zipped past her but did not slow down at all.

Sabrina only arrived at Sebastian’s old residence at around ten o’clock that night. She thought Sebastian would have already gone to rest, but she would never have expected Sebastian to be sitting alone in the living room. Instead, he had a cigarette between his fingers, and the living room was filled with the smell of smoke.

The air, however, was filled with extraordinary chills.

The dimmed light flickered on Sebastian’s cold and handsome face.

He watched as Sabrina entered, then the man asked, “How long have you had your eye on the Lynn family?”

“What do you mean?” Sabrina looked at Sebastian with puzzlement.

“I went to the Lynn family for the first time to discuss my marriage with Selene, and you were at her house. Are you telling me that it’s a coincidence?” Sebastian looked aggressively at Sabrina.

He had truly underestimated this woman. Looking at how she ate so comfortably at the Lynn’s, she had truly mastered and perfected being thick-face and shameless.

“Then what would you want to warn me about?” Sabrina asked without beating around the bush.

“Selene is different from you. She is simple, kind, and completely not your match at all. Whatever intentions you have, you could tell me, don’t harass Selene and her family, or else, I would make you understand what it means when death is better than living…”

“So, you would be willing to pay me 50,000 USD to keep me from harassing Selene and her family, right?” Sabrina asked.
