“Sabrina, let’s get out of here.” When Norton found Sabrina at last, he grabbed her arm and dragged her outside.
He had been looking for her the whole time. He was very worried about her safety and wanted her to stay under his watch.
At the time of the incident, he was busy formulating plans with Trevor and Claude. When he finally came out, Sabrina was already gone.
In fact, since these things happened, Sabrina had been busy. Jenna was not there. So, she took the initiative to take over her position and did what she could. When everyone was frightened and crying, she comforted the crowd by mentioning that her father, General Delia, and Christopher were here. With this, she successfully maintained order in the crowd.
Everyone had heard of General Delia’s reputation and knew that Christopher, the head of the security team in Capital City, was here. They were relieved. Therefore, even in the most chaotic time, there was no accident of stepping on the dead and killing people. This was all thanks to Sabrina.
“Where are we going?” Sabrina was dragged aside by Norton and could not help but to ask.
He simply walked up to her and dragged her out. He acted as if she had committed a crime. This made her very uncomfortable.
“Sabrina, hurry up and leave. It’s very dangerous here,” Norton said, pulling her arm while heading for the car in front. He had to send her out personally to a pre-booked hotel. Only then could he feel at ease.
Sabrina understood what he meant. She violently shook off his hand and angrily said, “Norton, stop it. You have no right to ask me to leave.”
Hearing this, Norton’s face flushed red. He looked extremely anxious.
“Sabrina, now is not the time for this. Although the terrorists are no longer a threat, there are bombs in the mansion. It is very dangerous for you, a woman, to stay here,” he explained in such a hurry that he would carry her out if he had to.
Sabrina had known this. So, she just glared at him. She didn’t want to talk to him. So, she turned around to leave.
“Sabrina, did you hear what I said? Leave this place.” Seeing that Sabrina did not listen to him at all, in a moment of desperation, he stopped her.
“Go away. If you stop me, then I’ll not tolerate you anymore.” Sabrina rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and rolled her eyes at him.
Norton’s expression was serious. “Sabrina, listen to me. Leave this place immediately. All women must leave.”
Norton’s imposing manner was very aggressive. He did not allow her to resist at all.
Sabrina was extremely angry and was about to speak when she heard a burst of laughter coming from the front.
She looked up and saw that Carmella was walking with Jaqueline towards them. Their expressions were calm and composed, without the slightest hint of worry. When Sabrina saw this, she couldn’t help but to let out a cold laugh. “Norton, did you get the wrong person? You should be asking Carmella to leave. She’s your fiancée. You should take care of her instead of me.”
Norton’s face turned red because of Sabrina’s words. He was both anxious and angry. So, he persuaded her. “Sabrina, don’t you understand my feelings for you? You are the only woman I care about. Carmella has nothing to do with me.”
“Really?” Sabrina felt it was unbelievable and rebuked him. “Don’t say that. I don’t need your kindness. I’m warning you, don’t harass me in the future. You make me feel sick. Don’t try to command me or please me, because people will misinterpret the situation. I don’t want rumors that I’m a sl*t spread all over the place. I’m still planning to get married.”
Sabrina harshly accused Norton. He was disturbed. He truly cared about her and was worried for her safety. However, not only didn’t she listen to him, she was disgusted by him.
Therefore, he got anxious and blurted out, “Sabrina, you won’t marry Sergio… because he’s dead. Yadriel shot him.”
When these words came out of Norton’s mouth, Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat.
Was Sergio dead?
However, she soon understood it and felt bitter in her heart. She said self-deprecatingly, “He was an evil and corrupt man. It doesn’t matter if he’s dead. Anyway, I don’t care whether I will marry him or not. At the very worst, I will stay unmarried for the rest of my life and become a nun. But even so, I don’t need your so-called kindness, and I definitely don’t need you to tell me these things.”
“Sabrina.” Norton said, raising his voice, “Do you really have to talk to me this way? You’ll be my woman for the rest of your life. You won’t be able to escape.”
Norton felt as if a piece of his heart had been sliced off. How could his woman become a nun? What was she talking about? He angrily added, “If you become a nun, then what about me? Do I have to be a monk too?”
As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and was about to leave without any explanation.
Sabrina was not willing to listen to him. She reached out to brush off his hand, and the two of them were entangled.
“Jaqueline, I didn’t expect the bomb expert to arrive so quickly. Richards Manor is finally safe from danger. What happened today really gave me a shock.” Carmella flattered Jaqueline as she said.
Jaqueline said calmly, “It’s nothing. It is only right that my grandfather should do something about all these terrorists roaming around the city. What’s more, it’s Richards Manor, which is protected by the law. Besides, our families have been friends for decades. If Grandpa doesn’t show up this time, then he would seem like a fool. I’m just worried about Hansen and Jenna now.”
As she spoke, the anxiety in her eyes was very obvious.
While speaking, the two of them approached Norton and Sabrina who were pulling on each other.
“Norton, all the guests have left. The bomb expert has also begun dismantling the bombs. Uncle Richards was looking for you over there,” Carmella said with concern as she walked up to them.
Norton had no choice but to let go of Sabrina’s hand when he saw them. He greeted Jaqueline, “Jaqueline.”
He was expressionless when it came to Carmella.
Jaqueline glanced at Sabrina once. She then smiled and said to Norton, “Norton, now that Hansen isn’t around, you should go and help Uncle Richards. They’re looking for you.”
Norton also knew that the situation was critical. He didn’t have much time to reason with Sabrina, but he didn’t give up. He pulled Sabrina’s hand and walked forward. “Sabrina, since you refuse to go out, come with me. I’ll bring you to General Delia.”
Norton figured that General Delia would definitely care about his daughter. If she stayed in Richards Manor at that time, then he would certainly scold her and ask her to leave. Even if she refused, General Delia would take care of it. This was equivalent to having one more person to protect Sabrina, so as to prevent him from making a mistake.
Just like that, Sabrina was dragged forward by Norton, unable to get rid of him even if she wanted to. Sabrina’s face was red. She didn’t want to fight with Norton in front of Jaqueline and Carmella. They would only seem more intimate. Therefore, as she couldn’t get rid of Norton, she could only follow his wishes and walk with him.
Carmella looked at their backs as they walked along hand in hand. Her heart was filled with an inexplicable sourness, and a trace of loneliness flashed through her eyes.
Jaqueline glanced at her and the corner of her lips curled up.
“They look great together. Looks like there’s good news coming for the Richards family,” Jaqueline said, making a guess with a smile.
Carmella’s face turned pale when she heard that, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
“Do you mean Norton and Sabrina?” she asked, unwilling to give up.
“Of course. Who else do you think I was talking about?” Jaqueline glanced sideways at her in disappointment. She sighed internally. This woman was quite smart. So, why did she do such things? In the past few days, watching her interactions with Maria, any competent person could tell that she was the type to use unorthodox methods to get what she wanted. However, love was not a war. What would be the use of those unusual ways?
Women always joined the husband’s family when getting married. If her mother-in-law liked her, then all was good. Still, at the end of the day, the man must have feelings for the woman, or the marriage will not work out. However, Carmella, who was usually strong and wise, seemed to be unclear at that point, which was regrettable.
Jaqueline shook her head and said, “Looks like women become stupid when it comes to love to the point where they can’t tell what is right or wrong. Love is truly a dangerous and terrifying thing.”
She was secretly glad that she had never gone crazy for love. That was why she had always been very rational.
“Jaqueline, Sabrina is going to marry Sergio. There’s already an engagement.” Carmella ignored what she said. She wasn’t willing to accept this. Although it was just a statement, she still wanted more.
Jaqueline couldn’t help but to laugh. It seemed that Carmella was really eager to get married. It was no wonder that she was so nice to her.
“Carmella, Sergio was never interested in Sabrina at all, but more to the point, he’s now dead.” She continued to walk forward. The wind caused her skirt to flutter in the air. It was a beautiful sight to behold. However, what she said shocked Carmella so much that she went into a stupor.
Sergio did not have feelings for Sabrina. She knew that. Still, so what if he did not have feelings? A political marriage was more secure than any true love. Once a woman entered this circle, she had no choice but to marry for the family or political interests.
The descendants of the Newton Family were living examples. Before Sergio had died, she had not been worried whether the marriage between Sergio and Sabrina could be achieved. This was because their feelings were negligible compared to the bigger picture.
However, in just one night, everything had changed. Sergio was dead!
