Chapter 7 - 7

Sabrina Winters stood outside the hospital as she continuously dialed several numbers on the telephone booth.

"Hello,this is Sabrina,I really need your—"

Before Sabrina could say anything the call was unexpectedly dropped.

Sabrina thought it was network issues because of that shouldn't be much attention to it. then she decided to call another number that she could vividly remember.

"This is Sabrina speaking,could you loan me some–"

Before Sabrina could finish her sentences the call was immediately dropped the same it's happened before.

Sabrina was beginning to doubt the authenticity of her own convictions. It didn't seem like it was network problems at all.

however, since she was in a tight spot, she decided to keep calling the phone number that she called remember.

This time someone actually took her time to yell and scold at Sabrina calling her up .

"Mrs.Goblin,I'm Sabrina Winters speaking.Can I ask you for a favor.I promise to pay you back as soon I'm settled!" Sabrina said.

"What do you want from me? Are you trying to get me killed as well? I can not help you with anything,Sabrina Winters.Go ask someone else for help!"

With that,the call was dropped and Sabrina was left wondering what Mrs.Goblin meant.

She had little time to think about it so she didn't dwell too much on it.She resumed calling others but they had the same response as Mrs.Goblin.

Sabrina thought it was better to go ask her family for help instead.

Winter's Residence

Sabrina arrived at the Winter's House after a fifteen minutes walk from the hospital.

When she arrived at the house,the atmosphere was eerie.Sabrina had a cold feet upon stepping into living room.

It felt as if she was welcome in the slightest.Sabrina would have gone back if she had a choice.

Since nobody is willing to help her out,her last resolve was her Winter family.They could help her if they wanted.

"Look ,who we have here! It's the runaway adopted daughter of the Winter family!" Mrs.Winters clapped her hands and announced upon setting eyes on Sabrina.

Sabrina was caught off guard and halted her steps at the entrance of the living room.

Upon hearing Mrs.Winter's voice the rest of the family came running down to see Sabrina.

"Tessa, what's going on here?" Mr.Winters,who was in his study heard the cacophonous sounds from his study and came down.

"Look who's here.It's Sabrina Winters.I'm sure she's here to get us ruined along side her". Tessa glared ferociously at Sabrina.

The expression was deepened with hatred and anger that Sabrina couldn't understand.

"Sabrina?–" Mr.Winters stopped talking and looked ahead.His eyes fell on Sabrina.

The expression on his face changed into anger as he glared ferociously at Sabrina.

"How dare you show your arrogant face around here.Sabrina Winters,you insolent child!"

"Are you suffering from amnesia all of a sudden?" He asked.Then,he trotted down the stairs.

"Not only did you forget our winter family after you found your way into the Sheldon family.We also had to suffer a huge blow because of you.You didn't bother to help us out and now you suddenly showed up announced? What are you trying to do?" Tessa didn't give up taunting her.

"Yes,only you got into the Sheldon family with our help but you didn't appreciate it at all.We should have sent Selena instead.After all,she's our flesh and blood she won't turn her back on us like you did.You are so shameless!"

"If you are here to ask for our help once again.Then,you better come with a gun and take our lives.It's better than being made a beggar by Sean Sheldon" Vic Winters said.

His voice came from the door.Sabrina a was stunned and turned around to see him standing with his hands in his pockets.

"I made a mistake in the past when I arrange for you to spend the night with Sean Sheldon.Because of you,our business suffered a huge blow and everyone pulled out their investments at Sean's Orders.We are barely recovering and you still have the nerves to come to us for help?" Vic slowly walked into the living room and stood in front of Sabrina.

Sabrina simply nodded in agreement with their accusations.It was true that she got married into the Sheldon family all because of them.

However,she was forced to spend a night with Sean Sheldon at the time because the Winter family forced her to do so.She's been regretting the last three years and wished she didn't listen to them.

The Winter's family needed a favour to get their business back on track and since Sean Sheldon was the only person who could help them out.They decided to send Sabrina to pacify him.

"Mom,Dad,it's not my intention to get you all in trouble.However, you are aware of what happened after Sean found out.I had to take the blame to save the Winter family.I don't expect you to fixed the issue on me.Moreover,I'm not here to get you all in trouble.I'm really in need of your help right now,please!"

"I'm willing to do anything you ask me to.I'll do them properly and help you out with the business.Just save my son!"

Sabrina declared and knelt down in front of Mr.Winters to plead for help.

However,Tessa Winters only laughed sarcastically at her.

"You think everyone has a death wish like you do? We never want to cross part with Sean Sheldon at all.We can't help you out!"

"Why not? Why can't you save my son? He's your grandchild as well !Why are you being so callous?"

Sabrina screamed and promptly stood on her feet.

She sensed the aura in the room that they were not going to help her out with anything.

"You must be clueless about the decree that Sean Sheldon had issued,right?" Vic asked."Anyond who lend a helping hand to you,might end up in jail or worse case,bankrupt and dead!" Vic emphasized on every word he said.

"Wonder what you've done.If you need help,just go to him.Otherwise ,no one in the city can help you now."
