Marriage fraud?
Sabrina was furious beyond words that she sneered, “What did I cheat the Sheerwood family of? Is
their family wealthy or powerful? Even our marriage home is a gift from Sebastian, my younger brother.
What do they have that I can cheat from them?
“You…”
Her retort rendered the police officer speechless.
Indeed, for a person of her status, the term “marriage fraud” sounded ridiculous and laughable.
The police left in disgrace.
That night, Sabrina remained in this police detention room all night. She
was not granted permission to contact anyone. Her belongings, including her mobile phone were
confiscated.
Nevertheless, she did not panic.
She was certain that Isaac would come to her aid.
During these few months of them being together, he had gained her trust with his patience, sincerity
and tolerance.
In fact, he had healed her heart which had been broken into fragments slowly and gradually.
Nevertheless, unbeknownst to her, Isaac was facing problems at his own home.
He had fought back but in vain!
“Say it. Tell us, is she pregnant with your child?”
“The child is mine!”
Although Isaac was being locked up inside his own room, he insisted that the child was his.
Outside the room, when Rosie heard her son’s reply, she was so upset that her whole body trembled. “I
have checked with the Director of the Office of Population Affairs. She is seven months pregnant, not
four. How can the child be yours?”
“You fool! Don’t you know if the child is not yours?”
After he learned the truth, Seamus scolded his son as well.
Isaac turned pale.
“So, is this the reason why Sabrina assaulted that woman? How could you do that? Mom, you have
gone too far!”
Isaac’s eyes were full of anger. He could not help but howl in fury.
Outside the room, Rosie sneered, “Have I gone too far? I did it for you. Why must you look after
another man’s child? Do you want the Sheerwood family to be the laughing stock of Summerbank?
Isaac was speechless.
“Isaac, your mom is right. If that is the truth, I would be too ashamed to go on living. I work in a
government agency and my son is taking care of another man’s offspring. How can I face my
colleagues in the agency in the future? Do you want me to die in shame?
Seamus started scolding his son as well. He did not mince his words.
Isaac was full of anger but there was nothing he could do or say.
He was locked in and there was nothing he could do no matter how depressed he felt.
In Summerbank, the Sheerwood family was indeed considered a good family. His father was the
second-in-chief in a government agency, so they were considered respectable.
Hence, his father spoke the truth when he mentioned being too embarrassed to go on living.
Everyone valued dignity, especially a man who was respected and held a good social standing.
“Let me make this clear. If I go down, you’ll not be respected as you will lose your wealth and your
status as well. By then, even passers-by will point at you and laugh at you!”
“Let me remind you of the problems ahead. What will happen when the child grows up? Is his father
still around? Will his father come back for the child? What will you have then? Will the woman, Sabrina
always be with you? If she really loved you, she would have aborted the child before marrying you.”
Seamus really spoke like the devil himself.
He had analyzed every aspect of the matter, explored the worst scenarios and then presented them to
his son. He did not force his decision on his son but had shown him the worst outcomes that his
decision could lead to.
What would his decision be?
Isaac’s fury and persistence began to waver as he had the picture in his mind. Finally, his whole body
trembled.
In the end, his was too weak.
This was exactly the evaluation Sebastian had come upon of him when they first met—someone who
had grown up in a protected environment and had never gone through any hardship.
Sabrina spent a night in disappointment.
The next morning, the police officer came to release her.
However, when she came out of the detention room, it was not Isaac who had come to pick her up.
Instead, it was the tall broad figure that she had not seen for a long time, wearing an olive-green
uniform and waiting for her in the lobby of the police station.
Sabrina was speechless.
Her mind was blank for a few seconds and when she came to her senses, it was as if someone
slapped her hard. An overwhelming sense of humiliation surged over her and she trembled all over.
“Sabrina…”
Devin had driven all night to come and see her. Finally, he saw her with her protruding pregnant belly,
he was overjoyed and was about to rush over to her.
At that very instant, the woman suddenly pounced at him like a furious lioness and slapped him right
across his face!
“Go away!”
This was the worst humiliation she had felt in her life.
She had thought that she would leave the detention center with pride and dignity. In the end, she felt so
pathetic. The child she should have aborted was still in her womb. She was like a silly damsel waiting
for this man’s charity and salvation.
What the fu*k!
Sabrina was livid!
