“Are you saying that I’m not a qualified son-in-law?”
“Huh?” Sasha was caught off guard by his statement and immediately looked toward Sebastian. “No! Where did you get that idea, Sebby?”
Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one? How did you interpret something like that out of what I said?
“If you don’t mean that, why are you thanking me? Am I not your husband? Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”
“Huh?”
“But of course, I don’t mind you thanking me if you really want to. Come here!”
Sebastian suddenly pulled Sasha to him with all his force, startling her.
Come here? Huh?
“Give your husband the reward he deserves,” Sebastian said as he pointed at his lips, disregarding the location they were at.
Sasha was rendered speechless by his actions, and her face flushed from brim to brim. At that moment, she badly wanted to beat the shameless man up.
But despite that, she eventually tipped her toes and gave Sebastian a quick peck seeing that he was really looking forward to it.
After that, she immediately turned around and ran away.
You dummy!
Sebastian quickly chased after her with a wide-eyed smile on his face.
That night, someone saw Sebastian, the person in charge of the Hayes Corporation, holding a grandiose family banquet at the Palace Hotel.
Besides the Hayes themselves, a lot of their other friends and family were there.
And as expected, the news became the headline at all major newspapers.
That said, Sebastian paid no heed to them.
However, the woman in Jetroina who was keeping her eyes on him was infuriated by the news.
“Family banquet? Is that a celebration? Is he celebrating the fact that he got the Hayes Corporation back? Is he celebrating the fact that he can no longer be toppled for his position with the shares he has!”
The woman bellowed in rage and swiped everything away from the table in front of her.
Yamada was also there that day, so he came over to take a look after hearing the commotion.
“What’s wrong this time? Did something happen back in your home country? Or is your son not bailed out yet?”
The way Yamada asked those questions was totally different compared to how he used to treat her back then.
Truth be told, the Sinch Enterprise suffered a huge loss after that. Not only were the shares they obtained voided, but the Hayes Corporation was also suing them for fraud.
If the authority found conclusive evidence, they would have to pay even more money.
So, it was the first time Yamada treated Yancy like that, and she could feel it.
Upon that, she temporarily suppressed her anger and forced herself to calm down.
“Sorry, darling. Did I startle you? I-I was just too angry. Look at this b*stard. He’s celebrating! How could I not get angry?”
Yancy pulled out her trump card once again and started whining to her husband while handing him the newspaper.
She still had the looks, and she knew how to use it, unlike Heather or Frieda.
For example, she knew she had the sex appeal. So, she would always wear outfits that amplified that trait, fawning whenever needed.
These were the sort of women that men could never resist, and Yamada was no exception.
His expression brightened up as soon as Yancy handed him the newspaper. He proceeded to sit beside her and took a sip of the tea she fed his way before reading the news.
“Family banquet? That’s a bit unusual of him.”
That was a reaction that Yancy did not expect Yamada to make, and she was a little agitated by it.
“How is it not? Do you know him? The news already said it all. It says here that He invited all his friends and family. There are even mentions of the Sinch Enterprise here.”
She pointed at the part where the Sinch Enterprise was mentioned.
With that, Yamada went speechless.
“Other than that, you talked about my son. So, yes, he’s still stuck in Avenport because of the police’s damn order. He won’t be going anywhere if they can’t find the cause of death.
“Won’t my son be done for if they kept at it?”
Yancy immediately diverted the topic onto her son when she saw that Yamada was wavering.
Her eyes turned red as she started crying, ruining her makeup in the process.
Seeing that, Yamada finally gave in and pulled her into his embrace.
He sat her on his lap and said, “Alright now. Don’t cry. I’ll figure out something for your son. As for Sebastian, it’s best to not butt heads with him right now.”
It was unexpected of Yamada to back down after butting heads with Sebastian only once.
It infuriated Yancy as she never imagined Yamada to be such a coward.
That said, she needed to stay put.
After all, Yamada was the only person backing her up at the moment. She needed him to take back everything she lost.
If this coward wouldn’t do anything, I’ll do it myself! Yancy thought before heading into her room.
