The moment Sabrina raised her head, she saw Selene.
Seeing her again after a long period of absence, Selene seemed more haggard now. The skin on her cheeks had taken on a yellowish tinge, like a shriveled zombie whose blood had been sucked dry.
Nevertheless, her aggressive air remained the same.
In comparison, Sabrina was remarkably calm.
She had always been like this.
The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer she became.
She pressed her mouth against her daughter's ear, " Baby, later, I'll grab onto the woman’s legs and press her to the ground. Then you'll run. Run as far away as you can. Do you remember the route we took when we came in?"
This was a tacit understanding between the mother and daughter.
Last time, when Sabrina first entered the Ford residence with Sebastian, she secretly told Aino to run as far away as she could if she noticed anything odd about the Ford residence, on the condition that she remembered the way they came in from. 1
At this moment, Aino said softly to her mother, "I remember, Mommy."
"Good!" Sabrina stood up slowly. She did not speak, the whole time keeping her eyes fixed on Selene.
Selene grew more and more pleased with herself. "So Sabrina, are you scared out of your mind? You never expected to be captured by Holden and brought to the Payne manor the moment you stepped onto the island, did you? Did you think your husband was omnipotent? You want to take over my island?
"Dream on!"
"Aino, don't move. She’s blocking the exit now. She's still wary of us, so don't move. Do you understand, baby?" Sabrina continued whispering softly to Aino.
"Uh-huh." Aino nodded.
On her side, Selene felt more and more pleased with herself as she looked at the mother and daughter pair who were hugging each other and watching her with fearful eyes.
Ha!
After the numerous detours, in the end, Sabrina still fell into her grasp.
