The old Master Shaw had teamed up with the Pooles against Sebastian, and Sebastian himself was focused on taking over Star Island, so there was no way that h e would have the time to care if Mindy visited the Shaw family. The other reason Mindy had stopped coming to visit the Shaw Family was because of her cousin Marcus. Her cousin had always cared for her deeply since they were young, at least until Sabrina appeared six years ago. His attitude toward her changed drastically and, by now, he had grown sick of her. On top of that, he was starting to grow fond of Ruth instead. Was it because Ruth was close with Sabrina?
"Sabrina Scott! I, Mindy Mann, am going to beat you! Together with Selene, we are going to defeat you and show that once a prisoner, you will always be a prisoner. Just like you were six years ago. I am going t o strip you down to nothing and have you kneel before you crawl your way out of South City!" With an egocentric ambition in heart, Mindy stepped into the Shaw residence.
Her aunt, who had not seen her for a while, was so excited to see her that she was in tears. "Here you are, Mindy. Come, come inside to see the jewelries Auntie has prepared for you. You are going to marry young Master Ryan, so remember to live humbly from now o n. Don't cause any more drama and don't try to stand
out too often. Let me tell you, women are happiest when there is stability in their lives. Just allow yourself to be pampered, do you understand?"
Mindy's expression was slightly distant. "Thanks, Aunt Shaw." She did not have time for her aunt right now; she had to flaunt her success in front of the socialites and take back twice of what she was owed for the suffering she was put through. She blew her aunt off before heading toward the other ladies near the garden when she was stopped half-way by her cousin Marcus.
"Mindy, what are you trying to do this time?? How can you be so problematic??"
Mindy let out an enraged burst of laughter and retorted, "Cousin Marcus, I am only here to see my aunt, my uncle-in-law and Grandpa Shaw who has always been there for me since I was a child, and you call that problematic? I can't stop you from supporting outsiders instead of your own kin, but is it really necessary for you to sacrifice your own cousin to please Sabrina?"
Marcus sneered at her words. "Just remember, Mindy, I won't be able to save you if you do something stupid."
