Sasha didn’t know what had happened between the two during her brief moment of absence earlier, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse the old man’s request when she saw his expression and heard what he said.
On the way to the Blackwood residence, Sasha realized the unsettling tension in the car and asked, “So… who was that guy? Did he go there just to see you?”
“Yeah, that’s Peter Miller, one of Hayes Corporation’s shareholders,” Sebastian replied, which came as a surprise to her.
Sebastian would never talk about anything if he doesn’t feel like it, and he’s saying that with such a scary look on his face too! Sabrina had wanted me to ask him about his decision regarding the company, but I never dared bring it up during our time in the village. Maybe this is my chance to do that. I’m really curious as to what his answer will be!
Sasha seized the opportunity and asked boldly, “What does he need from you? Is it about the company? You don’t want to deal with it anymore, right?”
The look on Sebastian’s face grew even colder when he heard that, but he still replied, “With Dad’s healthy son managing the company for him, it’s only going to become even better than before! I wouldn’t want to ruin their happiness now, would I?”
Sasha didn’t dare say another word after that.
It’s obvious that Sebastian hasn’t gotten over that incident, and I can’t blame him for it either. His dad said some really nasty things to him, so it isn’t something you can just forget after a while and move on.
With that in mind, Sasha decided to drop that topic and return the share transfer agreements to Peter when she had the time.
Little did she know, Solomon had already found out about what happened.
“Mr. George, I think we should get those share transfer agreements back from Ms. Wand as soon as possible. If Mrs. Tsurka were to find out…”
The assistant was so nervous that he didn’t dare finish his sentence.
Solomon looks so terrifying with that cold and menacing look in his eyes! He used to be such a cheerful and easy-going person, but now… He’s had that suffocating air of hostility about him throughout the past two days!
“So what if she finds out? You think she’ll kill her?”
“Sir, our main priority is to take back Hayes Corporation, and Ms. Wand is an outsider. If you don’t want her to get harmed in any way, then our best bet would be to get the documents back before Mrs. Tsurka finds out.”
It’s perfectly possible for Mrs. Tsurka to kill Ms. Wand when it is necessary!
After what felt like an eternity, with an icy-cold look in his eyes, Solomon asked, “How are you going to take it back with Sebastian by her side?”
“Don’t worry about that, Mr. George. I will arrange for someone to steal the documents from her without anyone noticing.”
With the assistant’s reassurance, Solomon nodded and tossed him a few wads of cash to get the job done.
The assistant then picked up the money and hurried off to do his bidding.
As Sasha had stopped talking about Hayes Corporation, Sebastian’s mood was a lot better by the time they arrived at Blackwood residence in Old Town.
“We’re here, Uncle Jackson!”
“Did you start your journey really late or what? Look at the time! The freaking sun is about to set!” Being the hot-tempered man that he was, Jackson scolded them angrily as they had arrived a lot later than they had planned to.
Sasha took a quick glance at Sebastian as she was afraid of him getting angry.
“N-No, Uncle Jackson! We had a traffic jam on our way here, that’s all!”
“A traffic jam, you say? Where exactly?”
“Um…”
“Stop with the questions, will you? Who cares where the traffic jam was? They got here, and that’s all that matters!” Sharon reprimanded him when she came out of the kitchen to serve up the food.
Thanks to her, Jackson finally stopped pressing them for answers, much to Sasha’s relief.
She then turned toward Sebastian and was about to say something when she noticed how calm and indifferent he seemed. As Sharon placed the plate and cutlery down for him, Sebastian took a seat by the dining table and said, “It’s not her fault. I had a last-minute errand to run. That’s why we arrived late.”
Jackson too, was surprised at how calm he was despite being down and out.
“What was it that you did?”
“This is my first time coming over, so I went to buy you a gift,” Sebastian replied as he placed a box on the table.
Sasha went wide-eyed with surprise.
A gift? When did he get that? He didn’t buy anything while we were in Lux Tower earlier!
