However, Old Master Shaw didn't know that Sebastian was standing right beside Sabrina at that moment. After all, the employee who had taken the photo of Selene and circulated it had felt too scared to include Sebastian in it.
He was living proof of the fact that people constantly bullied the weak and feared the powerful.
As Selene was pleading for mercy with the shoes hung around her neck, Sebastian sat quietly next to Sabrina and studied the drawings that she was reviewing.
Sabrina tried to chase him away. "You...Why are you still here?"
Sebastian calmly replied, "Do you think this thing is hanging those filthy old shoes around her neck because she is afraid of you?"
To Sebastian, Selene wasn’t even worthy of a human name.
She was simply "this thing".
When Selene heard how he had referred to her, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
Nevertheless, she still knew that she was already incredibly fortunate as Sebastian had not taken her life yet.
To keep it that way, Selene forced a smile and tried her best to play along, even when she was called something as degrading as 'the thing’.
She had completely thrown away her dignity.
The people watching could tell that this lady, who had always acted arrogantly, was very different to Sabrina.
When it came to being trapped in awkward situations like this, Sabrina definitely had much more experience than Selene.
Whenever Sabrina was being humiliated like this, she would put on an expression that showed she had accepted death as a result. Even if she had no power t o fight, Sabrina would still try to preserve dignity above anything.
There was no way she would do what Selene was doing now, even if she was being stepped on in a pile o f crap.
On the other hand, Selene would voluntarily let go of her dignity and allow herself to sink into the crap if it meant that she would survive.
