"You are the one that's presumptuous! I don't want a Grandpa like you! I hate you, Grandpa!" Aino cried even harder after being scolded by Sean.
Sabrina, who was often composed, couldn't help herself at the sight of how upset her daughter was, and lowered herself to scoop Aino up into her arms in tears.
"Sabrina!" Sean barked. "How could you allow your own daughter to cause so much drama outside the gates of the old Ford residence? I can tell that you have run out of tricks and started using a child to try and manipulate us! You know that I have leverage over you and it's impossible to escape, so now you are using Aino against us?"
Sabrina stood up abruptly and stared Sean in the eyes. "Sean Ford, do whatever you want to me, but I won't let you hurt my child! I'm already here, so of course I will follow you in, but I have a condition."
"You name it!"
"Let my mom take my daughter away and I will go in with you. Aren't you planning to make me pay? Then you shouldn't need anyone else but me."
Sean was about to agree. It wasn't out of kindness, but because he was also worried about Aino. Aino was the spitting image of Sebastian, so he was never
concerned about whether she was actually Sebastian's child. Since there wasn't a doubt that she was, Sebastian's daughter was Sean's granddaughter and neither did he want to see his granddaughter upset. However, he was interrupted before he could say a word.
"No!" The old Master Shaw said.
"Grandpa!" Marcus immediately shouted angrily.
"Marcus, didn't you say that you are busy today?" The old Master Shaw studied Marcus, "I asked you to accompany me here to the Ford residence as guests but you refused, and now you are here?"
"You are right, Uncle Shaw."
Sabrina snorted. "You-"
"Sabbie." Suddenly, Gloria joined in. "I don't intend on leaving as well."
"Mom!" Sabrina choked back on her tears. "You need t o listen to me, Mom! Go back, don't stay and watch."
What was she supposed to say to her mother? In a short while, the entire Ford Family, including Sebastian, would be ganging up against her. She might be forced to get down on her knees, possibly in front of Sebastian, or even get slapped by Lori. Anything could happen, including embarrassing scenarios that she could or could not imagine, but Sabrina wasn't afraid of those scenarios. She had been through those before, and it wasn't as though she hadn't been hit in the face before in prison. She didn't care. However, how excruciating would it be for her mother and daughter to see her like that?
