Sabrina was stunned. "So fast?"
Even though she knew Sebastian wanted to go, and she had also known for the past week or so, Sebastian had been having meeting after meeting every day to plan for this invasion, but she never expected it to be s o soon.
"Is..." Sabrina asked, worried, "Is everything ready?"
She did not notice Sebastian arranging for a single soldier or gun.
Sebastian smiled and asked her, "What do you want to prepare?”
Sabrina said, "Don’t you have to prepare weapons? Or something else?"
Sebastian laughed. "The reason I'm going to Star Island, firstly, is not to murder or burn the place to the ground; secondly, not to seize anyone's property, and thirdly not to steal or loot. So, I don't need any of those things."
Hearing Sebastian say this, Sabrina was confused." Then..."
She always thought Sebastian's aim was to take over the entirety of Star Island.
He sighed. "Now the leader of the island is the Payne family. Fifteen years ago, the Payne family were only
the second in command on the Island. Plus, back then, the island was undeveloped. The island is where it is today because of my family's investments there. We brought in a lot of new equipment and technology, and that's why a tiny piece of land like Star Island could develop and prosper."
Sabrina had heard about Star Island.
It was indeed nothing but a tiny strip of land.
It was hardly even half the size of South City.
"And then what happened?" Sabrina asked.
Alex knew about this.
Sabrina knew Sebastian's mother loved his father, Sean Ford.
But Grace never told Sabrina about her and Sean.
Only now, did she finally have a chance to learn about this, listening to Sebastian’s deep voice as he told her what happened with a heavy heart.
Back then, Sean Ford was Star Island's biggest investor. The prosperity the Ford family brought to the island made the islanders treat them as the living reincarnations of God. Grace had just returned to the island. She was naive, poor, and innocent, with no one to rely on. All she wanted was to spread her wings and carve a career for herself in the construction industry. How could an innocent young woman like her deny the pursuit of a successful businessman like Sean Ford? 1
Not long after, Grace fell in love.
Then, she got pregnant.
