Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1304
Sabrina was stunned.
Who is he? Who is his master?
Growing impatient, Sabrina questioned, “Who’s your master? Do I know him?”
“Ms. Hayes, have you forgotten about us? My master is Mr. Edmund Cooper. He’s now in Jetroina, drinking himself into a stupor daily. He’s got no more money with him and was caught red-handed for stealing liquor. Now, he’s been locked up at the police station, and they aren’t releasing him. Ms. Hayes, please help him! I beg you, please…” He broke down into tears and started sobbing uncontrollably.
Sabrina was nonplussed.
Edmund? Why is he in such a terrible state? Isn’t he a Cooper? How is it possible that he has no money at all?
Sabrina did not buy what she was being told.
Shortly after, the person who called sent her a photo. In it was a familiar figure. An incredibly unkempt Edmund was spacing out at the police station lock-up!
Seriously! This fellow is just ridiculous!
Sabrina’s temper started to spike.
“What did he do? How did things turn out this way for him? Where’s all his money?”
“Um… He lost it all through gambling.” The man dared not speak the truth.
Upon hearing that, Sabrina went ballistic.
She cursed in her mind, He lost it all? Everything that the Coopers own? What a good-for-nothing a**hole!
Anyhow, she could not leave him unattended. Tightening her grip on the phone, she tried calming herself down. “Okay, my brother is there. I’ll engage him to look into this matter.”
“Oh no!” the man shouted on the phone.
“No, no, Ms. Hayes, you can’t let Mr. Hayes know about this! Mr. Edmund would definitely not want Mr. Hayes and Mr. Devin to see him at his worst. Prior to this, I wanted to ask them for help, but Mr. Edmund objected to the idea fiercely. He even threatened to kill himself if I ever spilled a word to them.”
Sabrina fell silent for ten seconds before lashing out at him mercilessly with harsh words, “What a nut case!”
Then, she hung up.
What an idiot! He should have known better. What’s the point of feeling embarrassed to see us after gambling all his possessions away? He’s really something.
In the end, Sabrina made up her mind to make a trip to Jetroina.
When Solomon found out about her plan, he questioned, “Why are you going to Jetroina? To see them?”
“Can’t I?” Displeased, Sabrina retorted without telling him the truth.
Solomon knitted his brows. “It’s not that you’re not allowed to go, but what’s going to happen to the four children? They need your care and attention, especially your little girl.”
“Oh, I’ll be home before they know it. I’m leaving today, returning tomorrow,” Sabrina quickly clarified her actual plan.
Initially, she wanted to request her friend in Jetroina to help bail Edmund out. Upon mulling it over, she realized that Sebastian was there. Any moves her friend made might alert Sebastian, considering how sensitive he was.
Therefore, the best solution was to fly there personally and bail that fellow out.
With that, she set off on a journey.
A few hours later, when she arrived at the Terrandya airport, the man who had called her earlier was already there waiting for her. He was moved to tears when he saw her.
“Ms. Hayes, I’m extremely grateful for your help.”
“Cut to the chase. Let’s head to the police station and get this mess sorted out,” Sabrina said impatiently.
Then, she followed him to the police station located in the city center.
Meanwhile, a group of police was bashing Edmund up because he gave the other criminals at the lock-up a good beating when he was drunk last night.
“Mr. Edmund! What’s going on here? Why are you beating him up? Do you wish for me to sue you?”
When the man saw that Edmund had been beaten to a pulp by the police, he rushed forward and blocked in front of him.
Seeing the awful scene, Sabrina was not quite sure what to feel. As a matter of fact, she had the urge to swing her fists at him too.
In the end, her soft heart led her to spend money and bail that piece of trash out of jail.
The sun was beaming down on them as they walked out of the police station. Standing at the exit, Sabrina turned and looked at the man with a split lip. She eyeballed him viciously, and if looks could kill, he would be dead.
At that moment, he avoided having eye contact with her. Countless reminders flashed through his mind, telling him not to meet her gaze.
Yet, his eyes had a mind of their own. They fixated on her face first before slowly scanning across every inch of her body.
To be honest, Sabrina was not the prettiest woman among all those that he had seen.
Her features were sharp, but they were not dazzlingly gorgeous.
She was a fashionable lady, but she lacked gentleness when compared to other women. Her make-up was more exaggerated than most people’s too.
As a famous loafer in Yorksland, he had seen uncountable enchanting women. Hence, Edmund had no idea why he would fall head over heels for her.
There’s something about her. Could it be her uniqueness? Is that why I find her exceptionally special?
