The only one left was the old Master Shaw. Sabrina glanced at him on purpose and found him sitting, expressionless. Not only was his expression blank, his eyes were half closed the entire time, probably because he didn't want to face the resenting glare from his own daughter.
"Sebastian, look! This is the proof, all of it! Your Aunt Jennie has it on her phone!" Sean shouted at
Sebastian. Sebastian looked over and saw his father throwing a phone at him.
"Let me tell you something, Sabrina. Your man might have messed with the surveillance footage in the Grand Sage International Hotel, but don’t even think for a moment that we won't be able to provide any proof simply because of that! Your Aunt Jennie has filmed the entire process of you messing around with those two men!" he reprimanded furiously. After that, he looked at Sebastian and continued, "Just look! Look at the video in there, don't you see who one of those men was? It's the same man who keeps harassing me and your step-mother!"
"That guy hit you two because of you, bad Grandpa! Not because of my mom!" Aino screamed at her grandfather in tears.
Sean sneered. "Sabrina! It's bad enough that you allow yourself to become a file and promiscuous person, you
have to go and influence my granddaughter on top of that! Had I not had actual proof with me today, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself at my granddaughter's accusation! Sebastian, do you know the man who keeps harassing us??"
Sebastian simply looked at his father calmly.
"He is the fourth younger brother of the Chief of Star Island, Holden Payne!" Sean slammed his fists onto the table angrily.
"Holden had already shown his true face that day in the hotel, but Sabrina let him go! She let her lover Holden go in front of all the people there watching in the Grand Sage International Hotel!" At this point, Sean's fury had escalated to a level where it's barely containable. If only there wasn't a table in between them, he would have gone ahead and beat Sabrina to death himself. Because he was completely focused on Sabrina, Sean didn't notice when the old Master Shaw snapped his head up and gaped at him, before looking over at Sabrina.
Sabrina, on the other hand, did not budge.
"It's her! It's Sabrina who stopped the police from arresting him! It's Sabrina who was determined to let Holden go! That man was Holden Payne! The fourth son of Star Island! His existence alone imposes a threat to the entire Ford family! Not only is he Sabrina's secret lover, but he is also the nemesis of the Ford Family! Though he came close to being captured, Sabrina had allowed him to escape! Sabrina! What else do you have to say for yourself??" Sean glared at Sabrina wrathfully.
"Nothing," she said.
"Why you...!" Sean came close to getting a heart attack from rage at her response. He pointed at Sabrina, trembling in rage. "Look at her, Sebastian! Just look! She realizes she can't argue her way out of this, and just gives up entirely."
Sebastian still did not say a word.
Seeing that it's almost time, Lori stood up and in a calm and unbiased tone, she said, "Director Ford, actually, considering the occasion today, I shouldn't b e calling you Director Ford. I should be calling you Sebastian instead. I understand that you and your wife are close and I would really hate to damage your relationship in any way, so I feel really bad for you, Sebastian. It wasn't really my mom's choice to record what happened yesterday, it's just that Uncle Sean and Aunt Rose couldn't handle that vicious killer, the fourth son of Star Island or something like that, under that sort of circumstances. Uncle Sean didn't have any choice but to get my mom to record it as proof. Sebastian, I understand that this is hard on you, you must...try to look at the bright side. Actually..." Lori glanced over at the old Master Shaw, thinking that she had to drag him into the matter as well. "My granduncle's judgment on people is the most accurate. He might be old, but he can see right through souls. He has always thought that Sabrina is a promiscuous woman who excels in toying with men, and now, I feel like he is absolutely right." "Now that you have mentioned your granduncle, let's hear what the old man has to say first, then, shall we?" Sebastian suggested out of the blue. He looked over to the old Master Shaw and asked in a low voice, "How would you like to handle this thing about Sabrina, old man?"
