“Mr. George, your efforts would be better focused on the company’s shareholder meeting which is in ten days. That’s when the Hayes Corporation will announce its reorganization to the public. I hope you will not let Mr. and Mrs. Tsurka down then.”
With that, the Jetroinian turned and left.
Solomon was stumped.
After a long while, a loud bang was heard from the president’s office, as if something had been smashed onto the ground.
The noise terrified everyone outside.
Two days later.
Sasha had received the huge amount of funds that Andy had sent. In her excitement, she went to see Sabrina at once.
“I’ve gotten the money. Have you convinced your dad?”
“I tried, but he disagrees!” Sabrina replied bitterly.
Disagree?
Why would he do that? Does he really intend to lose Hayes Corporation to someone else?
Or perhaps, he is blinded by the trust he has for his bast*rd son?
Sasha fumed, “Why? Didn’t you make it clear to him?”
“I did!”
“So why doesn’t he agree? Isn’t he going overboard with this? They are both his sons after all. Must he draw a line between them?”
“Huh…”
Sabrina felt equally indignant but had no other ideas.
As Hayes Corporation was a listed multinational, any transfer of shares required the consent of its largest shareholder.
So, what’s the point in raising so much money?
Sasha felt disheartened.
“Perhaps, I can steal his seal and ID,” Sabrina quipped out of desperation.
Steal?
That might work.
With hope burning brightly within her, Sasha’s eyes lit up. “Is it possible?”
Sabrina knitted her eyebrows. “I’m not sure, but I can try. Why don’t you come home with me? That way, you can keep a lookout.”
Sasha fell silent as she wasn’t sure whether to agree.
She had never stolen anything in her life before and was naturally worried about getting caught. We would be finished!
“I…”
“Look, you keep insisting that you’re doing all this for my brother. But yet, why are you turning me down when I’m only asking you to keep watch? I’m the one that’s stealing, not you. I would be the one held responsible if we get caught.”
Before Sasha could finish, Sabrina ranted away.
Sasha’s face turned pale in response.
I’m not afraid. I just think that this isn’t well thought out. In fact, it might even jeopardize all the work that we have done.
In the end, both of them headed to the Hayes residence.
“Oh? Dad isn’t home. What a coincidence!”
They were delighted to see that Frederick’s Rolls-Royce wasn’t there when they arrived.
Sasha heaved a sigh of relief.
In truth, she was afraid of entering due to her awkward status. Although she was a daughter-in-law of the Hayes family, her husband had been kicked out by them.
Hence, she quickly followed Sabrina inside.
The moment they entered, they were surprised by the atmosphere.
Unlike in the past where it would always be lively, the house was so quiet that it felt deserted.
“What happened here? Why is your house so empty?”
“Why are you even surprised? Robert and his mom moved out while my cousins have refused to visit after my dad chased Sebastian out. So, wouldn’t it naturally be quiet?”
Sasha was dumbfounded.
Sabrina meant Ethan’s children.
Sasha had assumed they were simply leeches who lived off Hayes Corporation.
Hence, she was surprised to see them stand by Sebastian’s side at the crucial moment.
Meanwhile, Sasha followed Sabrina inside.
She had assumed that they would be heading for Frederick’s bedroom. However, she was surprised when Sabrina led her past it and went to the backyard instead.
“Why are you going that way? Isn’t your dad’s stuff in his room?”
“Of course not. How can one leave something so important in the bedroom? It must be in the memorial hall.”
“Huh?”
Sasha was stunned.
Memorial hall?
Isn’t that the place where they keep items belonging to their forefathers? Why would those things be there?
Sasha didn’t get it.
However, she would have understood if only she knew that only a member of the Hayes family was allowed to enter.
Furthermore, the memorial hall wasn’t just an ordinary building. It was enclosed on all sides. Downstairs was where all the photos and portraits were placed while the upstairs was a lot more complicated than she could imagine.
Knowing her way around, Sabrina led Sasha toward the building entrance.
“Alright. It’s somewhere here. You keep a lookout at the door while I search the inside.
“Huh?”
The small building send a chill down Sasha’s spine.
My God, is she really going in there?
Aren’t we not allowed to enter this place?
When she first moved in after she got married, Frederick had clearly forbidden her from going in there. Hence, no one was allowed to even straddle near the place.
Therefore, despite staying there for a year, she had never even gone near the small building.
But now, Sabrina was going to steal something from inside.
When Sasha tried to grab Sabrina by reflex, she was too late.
