Chapter 18
Jordan had been focused on his work as he listened to Mason’s report. The latter’s words distracted him, making him accidentally draw a line across the document he was reading.
How could this be possible? Though he hadn’t seen Sabrina one last time before her death, there was no denying the authenticity of the death certificate and her cremation How could things
like that be taked‘
How could that woman be Sabrina? Even if someone powerful had faked her death certificate, it didn’t make sense.
She was an
was an orphan and didn’t have powerful friends. Who would do that
Jordan threw his pan aside and frowned at Mason. “You should get some glasses your vision is going bad”
Initially, he’d refused to believe Sabra was dead He’d spent large amounts of money and time scouring the world for a trace of her, yet nothing had come out of it. Gradually, he’d given up and started accepting her death.
Just as he’d lost all hope, Mason had come to tell him that he’d seen Sabrina strolling along the streets in Fring
Perhaps seeing that nothing would convince Jordan, Mason showed the former a photo he’d hastily snappedof Sabrina.
-Jordan’s eyes turned red when he saw her familiar face. He was sure it was Sabrina–they’d loved each other for a decade, after all.
His hands trembled as he touched the phone screen. How long had it been since he’d last sevenbed?:
In the days following her death, he’d drunk himself into oblivist in hopes that she would visit him in his dreams. However, it had never happened. Perhaps she hated him too much to even want to meet him in a dreamscape.
now, there she was, in a photo Mason had taken. It had been over a year since they’d last seen each other, but she seemed to look younger than before. His eyes were bright and filled with life. It seemed she was much happier after leaving him.
Hope surged in him again, and he looked up at Mason. “Send someone to find out where she is ”
Jordan clenched a fist around the phone. This time, he wouldn’t let her go anymore!
Before Jordan’s men could track Sabrina down, it was
for the Lakeworth family’s hasquet
A large chandelier hung from the ceiling, each crystal glimmering like stars in the sky. It lit up the banquet hall, and the lights reflected off the paintings and treasures lining the walls Each item was proof of the Lakeworth family’s longstanding existence and boundless wealth
Under the gleaming lights, everyone seemed to look better than they usually did. It was as if they were all the main characters of tonight’s event.
Despite having attended countless similar functions in the past, Jordan still couldn’t help feeling awed by the grandiosity of the banquet. It was in this moment that be realized how huga

( someone would suddenly snap at him
Jordan had coaxed him for a long time to convince him to come to the banquet with him. He’d even shown Ansel the photo of Sabrina, telling him she would be at the banquet.
As a child, Ansel hadn’t stopped to wonder why someone who was supposed to be dead had suddenly come back to life. All he knew was that his mother wasn’t dead and that he wanted to see her. That was why he’d agreed in attend with Jordan
The banquet gradually reached a climax, and the stars of the show finally came downstairs amidst the music. Everyone focused their attention on the family of three
Sebastian wore a dark green sum with a white shirt and black leather shoes. He looked regal and mysterious Sabrina, whose arm war in his, was dressed in her dark green evening gown and pearl accessories. Her long hair was in an elegant updo, with a few lose tendrils framing her face. Her skin was flawless, and her eyes were bright.
Tabel heldher hand. She, too, wore a princess dress in a similar color. The trio looked like they’d stepped out of a fairy tale. They made such a beautiful sight that the guests couldn’t help holding the breath as they watched them make their entrance
