“Hello?”
“I want you to do something for me.”
“What?”
“Wipe away everything that happened to me last night. I want everything gone. Leave no trace of me being there at all,” she uttered each word through gritted teeth as she stared ahead with reddened eyes in the car.
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent.
He was unsure if he was supposed to feel happy or sad about it.
Finally, after one minute, he agreed in a low voice and said, “Sure. So when are you coming back then?”
“Today.”
“Okay. I’ll get someone to book a flight for you. You can return to work tomorrow,” he said and hung up the phone afterward.
Sabrina remained unmoved for a while after the call ended. However, she finally broke down when she received the notification about her flight to return home. She threw her phone aside, plopped down on the steering wheel, and burst into tears.
It’s finally over. Finally…
Over at the Red Pavilion, Sasha finally figured out the reason Richard and his men had come so early in the morning.
“Devin defiled Shanae,” was what Richard said.
F*ck! That b*tch really did it! Sasha cursed in her head and sneered, “Old Mr. Woods, you can’t just say anything you like. Girls nowadays will do anything to get what they want. You should be cautious of her words.”
“What did you say? I dare you to say that again. Why would my granddaughter lie to me?”
Richard jumped up from his seat when he heard Sasha’s words.
Then, just as Sasha was about to reveal the truth, her phone rang, and it was a message.
Sabrina: Don’t tell anyone about what I told you earlier.
Sasha: What?
Sabrina: You’ll never see me again if you break this promise.
Sasha was shocked by the message. She tried to send another message, but all she got was an error notification.
F*ck! What is wrong with her?
She then tried to call Sabrina but to no avail no matter how many times she tried.
She’s really gone mad!
Sasha was panicking at that point when she heard someone say, “They’re back! Look! Mr. Jadeson and Old Mr. Jadeson are back!”
“Yes, they’re back.”
Sasha looked up and saw that Jonathan was back with Devin, and Sebastian was behind them.
They’re finally back. They’re just in time. I’ll go ask what happened.
Sasha ran toward Sebastian and said, “Darling, you’re finally back. How’s Devin? He—”
Sasha was eager to ask if Devin remembered who he slept with when he woke up. She wanted to know if he remembered Sabrina at all.
Yet, she had just got a hold of Sebastian’s arms when she was interrupted.
Jonathan noticed Richard coming out of the villa as soon as he got out of the car. Thus, he went over with a smile and said, “Richard, I was just going to go see you. What a surprise to see you here.”
“Is that so? Have you figured out the whole thing?”
Richard Woods was a devious old man. He acted all high and mighty when he noticed how Jonathan was trying to get on his good side.
Since Jonathan felt as though he was in the wrong, he had no choice but to go along with it.
“Yes, we did. I’m sorry, Richard. This brat of mine has really got himself in trouble this time. Don’t worry. The Jadesons will take responsibility for this. I’ll get someone to pick a good date today, and we’ll get them both engaged first.”
Jonathan went ahead and made a huge promise to Richard without any hesitation.
Sasha was shocked.
Finally, when the two had gone inside with Devin being dragged along by Jonathan, she tugged on Sebastian’s sleeves anxiously.
“Darling, what’s happening? Did you all believe Shanae’s words and think she’s the one who slept with Devin?”
“What are you talking about?” asked Sebastian as he narrowed his eyes.
Since he had no idea that his sister had already talked to Sasha, he was surprised by Sasha’s words. At the same time, he also sensed that something was wrong.
“You know who the person is?”
“I do.”
“Who?”
“Your sister.”
Sasha went ahead and told him without hesitation. She did not give it much thought as she was already on the edge because of it.
What the hell? She’s obviously a fraud, so why does she get to marry Devin? This is too absurd.
However, Sasha was disappointed when she saw how the person she had high hopes for, the only person who was able to help Sabrina, merely took a deep breath without saying anything.
