Chapter 1352
Sabrina did not switch off her phone on purpose. Her phone had run out of battery. At that moment, she lay curled up on her mother’s sofa, crying wordlessly. She had no idea her phone was dead. An hour or two later, she was exhausted from crying, almost dehydrated. Her mother brought her a bowl of vegetable soup and called out to her softly. “Sabbie, get up and drink something, child.”Sabrina sat up. She forced a slight smile onto her face. “Mom, I’m fine.”“I know.” Gloria comforted her. “Don’t be sad. You still have me and Aino.”At the thought of Aino, Sabrina paused, then took out her phone to take a look at the time. Only then did she realize her phone had died. After charging her phone, she sat in the courtyard alone in a daze.But she could not sit still. The moment she sat down, her mind was filled with thoughts of Sebastian. She could not help herself. Looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, she felt as if there were drops of tears on the flowers. She even

Jane was indeed wise. At least she had now escaped this abyss of misery and lived a simple, but honest life with the man she loved. Right when she was thinking about Jane, Sabrina’s phone rang. She held it up and saw that it was a call from Jane. For some reason, her eyes immediately became wet. Tears streamed down her cheeks in rivulets. A strong sense of understanding and sympathy for the other woman’s similar encounter gushed into her chest. Sabrina barely managed to suppress the despair that accompanied such a realization. A minute later, when the ringing was about to stop, Sabrina successfully calmed herself down and answered. Her tone was peaceful and clear. “Jane, is that you?”Jane’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Sabrina, I’m just calling to let you know that I’m safe and healthy, and also to tell you that I can’t pay you back at the moment. Because even though me and my current boyfriend both work, we can only earn around two hundred dollars a day…”
Chapter 1354
This morning at the Grand Sage International Hotel, Holden left in a rush, so Sabrina did not have the time to ask him many of the burning questions she had. Now, seeing him again, she felt as if a lifetime had passed. “You’ve been crying.” Holden noticed Sabrina’s red-rimmed eyes. Sabrina did not answer. Her voice was cold and stern as she asked, “You’re the anonymous man who has been causing trouble in South City recently?” Holden snorted. “Didn’t you see me this morning at the Grand Sage International Hotel? If you didn’t chase me away, I would’ve beaten that stupid simp who bullied you to his death! I would even beat Lori and her mother until they die!”There was a hint of obstinance, despair, pity, and an indescribable heaviness to his tone. It was as if he was a child who could not obtain love and so was acting out, throwing tantrums to vent his emotions. “What about Rose Quinton?” Sabrina asked. “Do you want to kill her too?” Holden replied coldly, “Isn’t she the one

Holden: “…”His heart felt as if it was sliced by a thousand knives, and his eyes were reddening slightly. After pausing for several seconds, he nodded solemnly and said to Aino, “Alright, I’ll listen to you, I promise. In the future I’ll definitely listen to you, okay?” “Get in now, I need to talk to your mother,” Holden said.Aino sat obediently in the car.Outside the car, Sabrina looked at Holden with cold fury. “When did you come here!”“I have been waiting here for an hour. I saw Aino just now…” “I’m asking you when you came to South City!” Sabrina questioned.Holden laughed shortly, then continued, “After escaping from Star Island, I went abroad and sold off my assets at a very low price. Then, I went to the Middle East, bought what I needed, and came here to South City.”“Do you want to kill me?” Sabrina questioned. Holden: “…”“Every time you went to warn the Ford family not to bully me, do you know they think you’re my secret lover?” Sabrina roared furiously. H

On his end, Sebastian was exceptionally calm, as if he had spent the whole afternoon sitting in his office. “Sabrina, where are you?”Sabrina answered robotically, “Picking up Aino.”“I might be home late tonight. Head home straight after you pick up Aino. Don’t wait for me for dinner,” Sebastian continued. “Alright.” Sabrina tried her best to rein in her sobs, to make her voice sound calm.But, on the other end, Sebastian could tell that her voice was far and distant. Like a gust of wind, soon to be blown far, far, away.Sebastian: “…”After a pause, he asked, “Did…did anything happen to you?” Sabrina did not hide the truth either, saying, “Yes!” Then she continued. “We’ll talk when you get home tonight. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. You know I’m not very good at driving. Bye.” With that, she ended the call swiftly, without an ounce of hesitation. After ending the call, she did not start the engine immediately. She sat in the car, staring ahead of her in a daze.

She would resolve everything by that night. She did not want to drag on the issue any further. She wanted to cut off the injured limb before the wound festered. No matter how badly it hurt, she had to resolve the problem in the shortest time period possible. Her pride did not allow her to drag it on, not even for another day. At the thought of pride, her mind drifted to Holden. Recently, Holden had been causing trouble for Sean and his wife. In fact, Sabrina and Sebastian had long since guessed it was him, but they had yet to see him with their own two eyes. Today, when she finally saw him, there was an unspeakable sorrow in his heart. Holden’s features certainly carried an unparalleled hostility. But there was more sadness than anything else; there was extreme despair that tipped over into rage.Today, if Holden did not come in time and beat the man who flirted with her until he almost died, she would not know he was Lori’s simp. Otherwise, with the situation the way it was, her

Hearing Sabrina shoot the question back at him, Nigel was stunned too. “It’s… I was not you? Then was it my cousin? But I don’t think my cousin would do something like this. Even if he wanted to transfer a million dollars to Minerva, he would ask Kingston to send the money directly to her, or give it to me.”Sabrina: “…”She was sure Sebastian did not transfer the money to Minerva. Suddenly, she remembered Holden telling her more than an hour ago when he left that he was going to visit his niece. Back then, Sabrina thought he was referring to Aino. Now she understood. Holden’s family name was Payne. So was Minerva’s. Minerva was Harry Payne’s daughter; then, that meant she was Holden’s niece, right? She said to Nigel over the phone, “It’s not your cousin or me either. I think… I know who it is.” On the other end, Nigel was quiet for a long time before asking, “Is it… Holden Payne?” Sabrina: “…” Nigel answered, “Rumors are flying that Holden has returned to South City, and he

Nigel asked, “What… What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m hanging up now,” Sabrina replied.Nigel: “…”After ending the call, Nigel pondered her words for a moment but he still could not figure out what had happened. He intended to call Sebastian to ask him about this, but Nigel was terrified of his cousin. Even though the Ford Group looked after the Conor Group a lot, whether it was business or staffing issues, the Ford Group always looked out for them. Besides, Sebastian’s attitude toward Nigel was much better than before. But still, Nigel remained terrified of Sebastian; his fear of his cousin was etched into his bones. That was why he did not even dare call him. Nigel contemplated the issue for a while but failed to come up with any answers. He gave up, driving to a flyover in the bustling city center. Since Harry Payne’s daughter, Minerva, followed Sebastian, Sabrina, and Nigel back to South City, she signed herself up for a repeat course that focused on high school curriculum. She
