Chapter 1174 Like A Little Kitten
“That’s not necessary. They already have more than they could ever want, Mrs. Zander. Your kindness is much appreciated.”
“Huh?”
Sabrina’s harsh tone immediately turned the situation slightly awkward.
“And this is?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Let me introduce you to Sabrina. She’s the widow of my late cousin-in-law, Devin. This is their child,” Sasha explained hurriedly.
With that, the First Lady’s face finally softened.
“It’s nice to meet you, Sabrina. Please forgive my rude behavior. My husband and I have been trying to have our own children for the longest time, but nothing worked. So, you can imagine how excited I am to meet the triplets!” exclaimed Sophie before turning to look at the children with deep fondness.
Not only were they clever, but they were also delightfully lovable. Anyone who met the children would be smitten with them as Sophie was.
“You’re definitely more than welcomed to come over to our place to play with the children if you want to,” Sasha offered graciously.
“Really?” Immediately, Sophie’s eyes sparkled with joy.
“Of course.”
“That’s wonderful! Thank you! How about this, Mrs. Jadeson? Golden Heights is holding an excursion tomorrow to visit the ancient building. Why don’t we take part and have some fun together? We can take these two with us,” Sophie suggested excitedly while pointing at Matteo and Ian.
At that point, bafflement was written all over Sasha’s face. Golden Heights? Isn’t it only accessible to people with that card? And what is it about an excursion and bringing the children along?
The woman had no idea what the First Lady’s intentions were, but she would if she had known what was happening in Jadeborough. After Axel and Desmond were removed from power and Benedict’s death, Golden Heights were forced to burn bridges and start anew.
When Sasha told Sebastian what happened after he returned, that was how he analyzed the situation to her.
“Golden Heights isn’t what it used to be anymore. Many travel there now to have a good time. Mrs. Zander probably just wants to get close to you.”
“You think so?” At that time, she had changed into her pajamas after showering and got into bed.
“Yeah. Didn’t you mention how close she used to be with Mrs. Croll and Mrs. Oveson? Now that their husbands have been stripped of power and Benedict has passed away, I’ve become the most powerful man in Congress. Who else would she curry favor from if not you?” Sebastian continued to explain as he read a book in bed.
That was the only valid explanation why the First Lady was so friendly toward Sasha.
Even though Silas was already president, he needed people in Congress to be on his side in order to secure his position, which was why he got Carlos involved in the matter.
As he also wanted to arrange his men into the Senate, Silas decided not to look into Benedict’s death and attended the funeral personally, albeit finding the whole incident to be full of suspicions.
Therefore, Sebastian could certainly see why the man’s wife deliberately tried to gain his family’s favor.
“Should we go tomorrow then?” inquired Sasha as she laid her head on Sebastian’s chest, with her bright eyes looking deeply into his. At that moment, she resembled a fluffy little kitten.
While hugging her, the man furrowed his eyebrows and gave the question some thought. “I think the First Lady just wants to bring the children along so that it’s easier for her to look around. Since Ian wouldn’t enjoy going to a place like that, why don’t you bring Matteo and Vivi instead?”
“Both of them?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry. I’ll have my men follow you in secret and make sure you’re all protected at all times.”
A hint of murderous intent flashed across the man’s eyes when he made the promise. Though it was barely noticeable, anyone who saw would be intimidated for sure.
Not long after their conversation, Sasha fell asleep in Sebastian’s arms.
The man then pulled the duvet over her and gently got out of bed before leaving the bedroom. Waiting patiently for Sebastian in the hallway was a dark figure.
“Mr. Hayes, somebody was indeed following Ms. Sabrina at the mall today.”
“Did you find out who it was?” questioned Sebastian solemnly.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the figure shook his head in response.
“No, sir. They moved extremely fast; none of us were able to catch up to them. However, one of them dropped this when I engaged him.”
The figure then handed a needle over to Sebastian, who was surprised to see such an odd choice of weapon. Besides Sasha, the man had never seen anybody else with that peculiar preference.
“In the hands of the right person, this is a weapon. I think I already know who those people are. It seems like the head of The Coffee Shop is back.” Sneering, Sebastian did not take long to figure out the perpetrators’ identities.
