Chapter 17: Sabrina’s Recourse to Sophistry
Chapter 17: Sabrina’s Recourse to Sophistry
It was just past seven in the evening, and Scarlett had rushed to the Moore Group after finding out how
Sabrina had offended Dr. Thomas this afternoon.
George and Olivia had also made their way to the Moore Group and arrived before Scarlett after they
had learned of their daughter’s misconduct.
However, they could not even get into the internal reception room as the receptionist had shut the door
on them, and they were only being led to the waiting area on the eighth floor.
The waiting area was in fact reserved for those visitors that were deemed unimportant by the host of
the building, and they were only invited to the reception room on the twenty-second floor after Scarlett
had arrived.
Sabrina walked up to Scarlett and sank to her knees while she grabbed her arms and offered her
abject apology in a subdued voice, “Today’s incident is indeed my fault, Madame Moore, but that
woman… I mean, Dr. Thomas has not identified herself in front of me at all, so I have no clue what’s
her purpose of staying in Bryan’s office. As you know, there’re a lot of confidential documents in his
office, so I’m just worried that she…”
“From what I remember, you have not explained it like that to the others in the video!” Scarlett turned
around and shot her an icy glance that was full of contempt and disdain as she added, “Am I right?”
“I swear that I’m telling you the truth, Madame Moore. Everything I do is just to sound her out.”
“Do you think the Moore Group is your home?” Scarlett suddenly grabbed her walking stick and swept
all the teapots that were sitting on the table to the ground with it which had caused a sudden loud
smash to ring in their ears.
Sabrina was terrified to the extent that she had plumped down on the floor at that moment.
Scarlett stood straight up and glared at her in a condescending manner, “The Moore family has shown
extreme benevolence and forbearance towards the Thomas family all this while, and the preferential
treatment that you have received from us is way better than what we have given to all those NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
psychiatrists. If you do not know how to tone it down a notch and clean up your act, I will make sure
that all your achievements thus far is to be set back to square one, and for you to suffer grievous
losses that far exceed what you have gotten from us in the first place.”
Both of George and Olivia’s countenance had taken on a ghastly expression upon hearing her
ultimatum.
Olivia hurriedly ran over to pick Sabrina up from the ground and smiled obsequiously as she promised,
“Don’t you worry about it, Madame Moore. Sabrina is indeed in the wrong today, so we will make sure
to lecture her on this. We will prepare a gift and let Sabrina send it over to Dr. Thomas in person so that
she could apologize to her. How does that sound?”
“If I were Dr. Thomas, I would not even give a damn about some gifts from a small-time family, and I
would wish for Sabrina to disappear before my eyes forever.” Scarlett’s eyes were darkly menacing as
she warned them in a threatening manner, “Don’t you ever go near Dr. Thomas again, and Sabrina is to
be prohibited from entering the Moore Group’s territory including the villa, company, and wherever
Bryan would be present from now onwards.”
“See them out now, Jordan!” Scarlett swiftly turned around and stormed out of the reception room,
leaving the Thomas family no room for any explanation.
When she had arrived at Bryan’s office, she asked Kingston with a blackened face, “Where is your
CEO?”
“Mr. Moore… He has left the company twenty minutes ago.”
Scarlett scoffed at him, “Well that’s just great, he still knows he has to dodge this old woman here. How
dare he runs away when he has lost his hold on that doctor? What a good-for-nothing!”
She turned around and received a file from a housemaid whom was standing behind her and passed it
to Kingston, “Send this to Bryan and pass him my words that if he wants to die outside, he can continue
to enjoy his carefree and happy life. I don’t have too much years left in me anyway, so no one will clean
up his dead body if I’m gone one day.”
Kingston took over the file with his slightly trembling hands and promptly picked up his phone to send
the file and Scarlett’s message to Bryan…
