Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 467

The difference in power in their relationship was simply far too big for her to ever escape him. He could care for her, teach her how to drive, get a marriage certificate with her or even take her back to the old Ford residence to announce his claim over her, but when it came back to choosing between his best friend and her, Sabrina knew she was disposable.

She remained silent even after they arrived home and left Aino to spend time with Sebastian after dinner, as they always did. She took her phone and went back to the bedroom, before opening the private group chat among parents of the kindergarten Aino went to and started checking all the messages. She didn't have the time to check and now that she had, she noticed that there were people in the group that questioned her worthiness of being added into the chat room. When she had failed to reply, the few mothers that were more active than others began gossiping and said something along the lines of "Aino's mother just keeps quiet whenever there is a discussion that involves money". One even went as far as saying, "Mrs. Scott, if you have some sort of difficulties, why don't you quit this group and let someone else take your place?"

A few days ago, Susan's mother had mentioned to Sabrina once that there had been discussions about chasing out families that were not financially stable but were simply pretending to be high-middle class

from the kindergarten. In order to officially enforce their plan, the parents had decided to organize a party in a five-star hotel. Sabrina had not been to that hotel before, but she overheard a few of the mothers bragging that one single bottle of wine could cost up t o two hundred thousand, all the tableware were crafted with pure silver and that a slice of cake cost over ten thousand in that hotel that was decorated phenomenally. There had been heated discussion surrounding this topic for the past few days but Sabrina had never participated.

In the end, there was a proposition that everyone was t o contribute fifty thousand dollars. The twelve of them would raise a total fund of six-hundred thousand dollars to organize the party. The other mothers had already submitted their share and Sabrina was the only one who had failed to respond, which was why Mia Cohen's mother confronted Sabrina in front of the kindergarten when she went to pick Aino up.

Sabrina could empathize as to why they looked down on her. It was odd of her to agree to join the group yet failingl to pay for her share up until now. She knew that it looked as though the twelve people gathering was organized with the sole purpose of chasing fame-crazed poor parents out of the kindergarten, but in reality, it was likely just another occasion for these wealthy housewives to kill time and show off to one another. Still, Sabrina had to attend the party. While the adults had their schemes, the children were innocent and simply enjoyed spending time together. Aino needed friends to get used to the new environment and Sabrina was determined to do whatever it took to settle down for Aino's sake.

The thought of fifty thousand took Sabrina back to memories from six years ago when she had borrowed fifty thousand from Sebastian when they barely knew each other so that she could pay her debt to the Lynn Family, and now she was in need of another fifty thousand. It wasn't much to some people, but all Sabrina had was a few hundred dollars in her pocket. She had to go to Sebastian for the money in order for her to take part in the gathering. 1

Sabrina pushed the bedroom door open and went to look for Sebastian, only to find only Aino in the play room.

"Aino, where's daddy?" she asked.

"Daddy said he had to take a very very very important phone call!" Aino emphasized with a sweet voice.
