Chapter 2286
Sabrina was even more puzzled when she heard what her mother said. "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Gloria was very excited. "All of you have your own things to be busy with. Sebastian is busy with his company's matters every day. You're busy with your designs every day. Even the little thing, Aino, is all grown up now. She doesn't even play with you anymore, let alone me. I usually seem like I'm quite busy on my own. I play the piano and I also dance. However, I've always been very energetic. I wanted to find a job, but nobody wanted to hire me. I can only go to the senior city dance group to kill time.
Luckily, the dance group has performances very often, so my life was also more enriched. I met James during one of the times when I went out with the senior citizen dance group to perform. Do you know how he addressed me when I first met him?" Gloria asked Sabrina as she spoke of that.
When Sabrina heard that her mother said that she was helping the police on a case, she felt surprised at first, but after the surprise, she also felt proud of her mother, she suddenly felt that her mother had always been such a person, she was brave, strong, and responsible. Also, she had always hated bad people who had done bad things like her enemy. Sabrina was very happy for her mother for being able to help the police do something that is meaningful. At least, her mother was able to find her own worth. Also, when she heard her mother saying all that, Sabrina also suddenly understood that her mother actually has always been very clear about what was going on, and she would not be easily fooled by others. Thinking of that, Sabrina felt relieved instead.
While feeling relieved and relaxed, when she heard her mother asking her, "Do you know how James addressed me?" Sabrina smiled. She casually joked with her mother, "I'm guessing that when James first met you, he certainly would address you as a young lady?"
Her mother scolded her. "what nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl? If he were to address me that way, I would be covered in goosebumps and faint on the spot!"
"Ha!" Sabrina was amused by her mother. "Then, how did he address you when he first met you? Did he...call you a pretty lady?"
Gloria was so annoyed that she rolled her eyes, "silly girl, you're getting ruder and ruder. You actually dared to make a fool of your mother. So rude!"
Sabrina immediately coaxed her mother. "Alright, alright. I really can't guess it. Tell me, Mom, how did James address you when he first met you?" At that moment, she got incredibly curious.
Gloria sneered instead. "The first time he met me, he reached out his hand and he wanted to shake my hand and give me a hug. What he said was, 'Miss Shaw, I've heard a lot about you.'"
Sabrina was stunned. "Miss Shaw?"
Gloria nodded. "Yes! I was sure that I had definitely never seen this man before, but he called me Miss Shaw as soon as he opened his mouth."
"He knew that you're the daughter of the Shaw family?" Sabrina was so shocked that her face turned pale.
"Without a question! He knew that I am the daughter of the Shaw family. I felt something was off about this man the moment he first called out to me," said Gloria. The tone in which she spoke to her daughter was much colder than before, "The level of enthusiasm when he first called you to me and the way he directly called me by my name made me feel very disgusted. I could feel at that time that this man, whom I had never met before, had certainly taken the trouble to inquire about me. This shocked me for a very longtime."
Sabrina suddenly understood something. "Mom, are you saying that you knew something was wrong with James from the very beginning?"
