Sebastian chuckled in response. “Of course. Given how big Hayes Corporation is, this happens all the time.”
“Really? In that case… how did you solve it?”
“It’s simple. It’s no different from fishing. You have to first put some bait on the hook. Without a bait, the fish wouldn’t bite. Isn’t that the case?”
Sasha was dumbfounded.
She had never in her life heard such a blunt analogy before, let alone a tactic as brilliant as this.
Evidently, there was still a huge, wide gap between their capabilities.
Sasha sprang to her feet at once.
“Darling?”
“Sebby, I’m not going to the office today. I suddenly remember that I need to see Uncle Jackson about something. Anyway, I’m going off now.”
Rambling on in excitement, Sasha bent over to peck Sebastian on his cheeks before darting off.
Sebastian was speechless.
She seems to enjoy defending my assets.
After watching her silhouette disappear, he stroked his cheeks to feel the lingering sensation of her kiss.
“Karl!”
“Yes, Mr. Hayes.”
A burly figure entered quietly like a phantom.
Dusting his shirt with his hands, Sebastian’s expression was icy cold. “What’s the progress?”
“I have thrown the corpses at their front door. I believe they won’t bother Mrs. Hayes anymore.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Sebastian was satisfied with the conclusion.
Stroking his own face blissfully, he instructed, “Transfer ten billion to Andy’s account.”
What?
Jolted by what he heard, Karl lifted his gaze and starred at Sebastian in shock.
“Ten billion? Mr. Hayes, are you being serious? Why would you suddenly give Andy so much money? He…”
“Mrs. Hayes needs it. She is fighting for the assets on my behalf,” Sebastian gloated proudly, just like a child showing something off.
Karl almost burst a vessel.
Fighting for his assets?
He is giving out ten billion so that his wife can borrow it from someone else?
Damn! Wouldn’t it be easier if he fought for it himself?
What’s the point of doing it in such a roundabout way? Isn’t that money still? Is he playing such ridiculous games because he’s too free?
“What are you spacing out for? Go quickly now.”
“No, Mr. Hayes. I don’t understand. Since you are not giving up on the company, why do you want Mrs. Hayes to go through all the trouble? Can’t you do it yourself instead?”
“Why should I? Besides, I never said that I wanted to go back. This is Mrs. Hayes’ idea and I’m just helping her achieve it. Now, do you get it?”
Karl was speechless.
“Oh, I forgot you don’t have a wife. Hence, you won’t understand what I’m saying. Off you go now!”
Having been brutally insulted, Karl held onto his chest as he stumbled out.
How can Mr. Hayes be so cruel as to hurt my feelings seeing that I am still a bachelor!
Meanwhile, Sasha met up with Sabrina.
“I have an idea. We can form a partnership with Andy to buy up the shares and share some of the profits with him.”
In a cafe within Central Square, Sasha’s eyes glistened excitedly with her plan in mind.
Although Sabrina wasn’t as talented as Sasha, she had managed Hayes Corporation before. Hence, she immediately understood what Sasha’s plan was.
“Sounds good. But, will he bite the bait?”
“He will. After all, these are the highly coveted shares of Hayes Corporation that we’re talking about. Hence, why wouldn’t he agree?”
With that, Sasha gave Andy a call enthusiastically.
This time, instead of ridiculing her, Andy sounded intrigued after listening to her proposal.
“Are you asking me to sign the contract with you?”
“Yes. The Hayes corporation doesn’t allow its shares to be sold to outsiders. Given that I’m a daughter-in-law of theirs, they naturally wouldn’t object. Anyway, you don’t have to worry. Once I have gotten hold of the shares, I will pay you twenty percent of the annual dividends.”
Worried that Andy wouldn’t agree, she dangled a larger carrot at him.
Andy finally consented as twenty percent of the dividends was a large sum of money.
After ending the call, Sasha and Sabrina both jumped up in delight.
“Look, I told you it was possible. We finally did it.”
“Mmm-hmm. I’ll go and see my dad immediately. By the way, are you really sure about using Wand Enterprise to buy it? That’s the equivalent of investing everything you have.”
Setting aside her joy, Sabrina reminded Sasha of the implications.
Sasha gulped in response.
Sabrina was right. Her newly minted company would be as good as gone and turned into a sacrifice for their marriage.
This was the second time she had given up everything for his sake.
After falling into a brief silence, she smiled at Sabrina. “I’m sure. I believe that he will not let me down again.”
Sabrina was speechless.
She really is a foolish woman.
