Fortunately for Sabrina, she had decent reflex and could move out of the way. Otherwise, there would’ve been blood all over the floor she was standing on.
“Have you forgotten why you’re still standing here right now, Sabrina?” Sebastian shouted, coldly and angrily.
Those words were like salt on her wound, and Sabrina exploded with rage upon hearing them. “What do you mean by that, huh? How dare you bring that up now?”
She saw her banishment back then as the greatest humiliation of all time, but Sebastian couldn’t care less about her feelings as he took things up a notch with his response.
“Why wouldn’t I? Right now, I think that decision was the wisest one I’ve ever made in handling your case! Had Sasha not been with you at the time, I wouldn’t have let you return at all!”
“You…”
With her eyes bloodshot from rage, Sabrina ran up to his desk and grabbed the telephone with both hands to smash his head.
Damn it, I’ve never felt this upset in my entire life! We’re siblings, for goodness’ sake! How could he do such a cruel thing to me for some other woman? Can he even hear what he’s saying right now? I haven’t really spoken to him ever since my return because I was waiting for him to apologize, but that apology never came…
Sabrina stopped herself when the telephone was inches away from her brother’s head.
“Well? Go on, then! Hit me! Hit me, and Hayes Corporation will be yours!” Sebastian didn’t even flinch in the slightest.
Her hands were trembling like crazy, but she eventually smashed the telephone on the desk instead.
“You’ll regret this, Sebastian!” she spat those words out slowly.
Sebastian gave her a sarcastic nod in response. “You’re right, I do regret it. I regret saving you back then.”
Once again, she found herself staring at him speechlessly in disbelief.
What? Does he have any idea what he just said?
For someone who had been tough and arrogant her entire life, Sabrina found crying to be a sign of weakness. And yet, she couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks as she said, “Okay… I see… Very well, then… You remember what you said today, Sebastian! See if you won’t regret it in the future!”
Sabrina then wiped the tears off her face and stormed out of the office, shocking Luke, who was on his way in.
He stood there and stared at her as she left, feeling as if something was driving him insane deep down inside.
“Why did you go that far, Mr. Hayes? She’s your sister, not your wife.”
“What difference does it make?” Sebastian asked with an indifferent look on his face, much to Luke’s surprise.
However, the look of surprise faded when he realized the meaning behind those words.
He’s right… They’re both family to him, so there really is no difference.
Sabrina was long gone by the time Sasha returned to Frontier Bay.
The kids told her their aunt had left angrily on her motorcycle after hearing about her incident, and that she never came back ever since.
“Did something happen to Grandpa, Mommy?”
Having felt uneasy throughout the day, the kids brushed the housemaid aside and ran straight for their mother the moment they saw her.
Sasha stared at them before looking at the house that she had tidied up all by herself.
This place just feels cold and dead now.
“I’m a little tired, kids. Let me get some rest upstairs, okay?”
For the first time, she could not keep herself together in front of her kids.
Being the immature one of the three, Vivian pouted and was about to lunge at her, but Matteo and Ian stopped her in time.
“Okay, Mommy! Rest well. We won’t disturb you.”
“Yeah,” Ian added with a nod.
With that, Sasha went into her room upstairs and lay motionless on her bed.
