When Sebastian brought up what Yancy did, a pained expression flashed across Solomon’s face.
Pained, Solomon wailed, “Please stop. Please—”
Nonetheless, it didn’t mean that things that had happened could be undone merely because no one talked about them.
“Indeed, the videotape showed that my dad wanted to transfer the shares to you willingly. However, Yancy killed him as soon as he signed it. Did he do anything wrong to deserve such a punishment?”
Sebastian paused for a while and added, “Was he wrong because he didn’t know you’re his son? Even though he knew that he could lose his life, he was willing to be manipulated and hand over everything to you.”
Sebastian chocked on his words occasionally, his eyes reddened.
Although Sebastian wasn’t an emotional man, sorrow and hatred surrounded him as he recalled the past.
Besides, Sebastian remembered that he used to be a jerk like Solomon in the past.
Meanwhile, Solomon was rendered speechless. He staggered backward and collapsed into a chair behind him.
The atmosphere fell silent, and they uttered no words but were immersed in mixed emotions. Also, they recalled many things they did, be it good or bad; forgivable or unforgivable.
“I can’t kill her.”
“Well, allow me to help you.”
The pin-drop silence resumed for a while until they heard some liquid dropping on the floor. Drip! Drop!
Moreover, a pungent stench of blood slowly filled the air.
Solomon pursed his lips and asked, “Why are you doing this now?”
“Well, I’m not a member of the family. So, the only thing that I can do for the Hayes now is to preserve their belongings. Remember to do the same once I’ve handed them over to you.”
Bam!
A loud noise ensued, for Sebastian finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Mr. Hayes!”
“Hurry! Get the doctor now!”
“Mr. Hayes—”
Instantly, many people swarmed in and rushed toward the table. Meanwhile, Solomon was rooted to the floor and only stared blankly at the commotion.
At that moment, it felt like a dream to Solomon.
It was already the third day when Sasha realized that something was off.
Simon finally met Sasha and told her that Hayes Corporation already had a new person-in-charge—Solomon. In other words, Sebastian wasn’t at the helm of the corporation anymore.
Besides, Simon persuaded Sasha to give up on Sebastian and worked with him.
Solomon is in charge now? How is it possible?
Sasha ignored Simon and rushed toward the hospital.
Much to her surprise, when she searched news about Hayes Corporation on the internet, Solomon was the figure widely reported by the media.
He always wore a suit and a pair of golden-rimmed glasses when facing the reporters.
However, his confident smiles and graceful demeanor reflected that he was now the person in charge.
How could this happen? What happened between them?
As Sasha got impatient, she took out her phone.
This time, she didn’t call Luke but Gregg from the operational department.
“Hello, Mr. Anderson. I’m Sasha.”
“Oh, Mrs. Hayes! Why are you calling me? It’s an honor!”
Gregg was enthusiastic as usual when answering the call.
However, Sasha noticed that he still called her Mrs. Hayes like before.
Since I got a divorce, why is he still calling me Mrs. Hayes?
Isn’t the news supposed to be announced in the company already?
As Sasha felt increasingly suspicious, she continued to dwell on it. “Yes, I’ve gone abroad recently. Mr. Anderson, can I talk to you for a minute? Why does Solomon always show up in the company recently? Where is the president?”
“Oh, are you referring to Mr. Hayes? Well, he has handed over the company to Mr. George. Besides, he hasn’t visited the company for quite some time. I heard that he is busy dealing with another project?”
“Another project?” Sasha was startled. “What project is he involved in?”
Gregg shook his head and responded, “I’m not sure about it. Anyway, we haven’t seen Mr. Hayes for a long time. Mrs. Hayes, may I ask if you haven’t heard about it?”
Sasha turned pale when Gregg asked her back.
Well, does it mean that no one knows where Sebastian is now?
Feeling anxious, Sasha continued to make a few long-distance calls to her maid, colleagues, and even the housemaids in the Hayes residence.
Unfortunately, they told her the same thing—they hadn’t seen Sebastian in these few days.
As expected, some of them, such as the housemaids and bodyguards in the Hayes residence, came up with excuses.
However, Sasha believed that the colleagues in the company wouldn’t have to lie to her. As powerful as Sebastian could be, he wouldn’t be able to remind everyone to hide the truth.
Therefore, Sasha could make a conclusion after asking so many people—Sebastian was missing!
