Sasha sighed a breath of relief, but she didn’t relax for long. In fact, she became even more anxious.
The reason behind that was simple. Her father had made the Jadesons sound even scarier. Sasha didn’t know what would happen if the Jadesons learned that Sebastian was the baby they tried to kill.
They say that royalties tend to be strict about not leaving loose ends.
A birth story like that wasn’t glorious for Sebastian either, so things would be bad if the Jadesons refused to accept him as their own.
Sasha felt like she was going insane.
Just then, her phone rang…
“Hello?”
“Sasha Wand, are you happy lately? It must feel so good to get Hayes Corporation back and become a member of the Hayes again, eh? Are you so delighted that you feel like your heart is blooming?”
A sinister voice came from the other end of the line, and it sounded so scary that Sasha almost tossed her phone aside in fear.
Yancy!
It felt like Yancy was a witch who could eavesdrop magically.
I can’t believe she called at this moment.
Sasha could feel her entire body trembling and she asked, “H-how did you get this number? What do you want?”
Yancy grinned brightly and answered, “It’s actually ridiculously easy to get your number. Don’t worry, though. I won’t do anything to you. I’m only calling to ask a favor of you.”
“Excuse me, a favor?”
“Yep, a favor. You guys are happy and enjoying life, but my poor son is being detained. Your husband refused to let him go and threatened to kill him. Now, what shall we do about that, Sasha?”
That last sentence and that tone…
Yancy’s voice stung as much as a scorpion, and it hit Sasha’s ear hard. That got Sasha’s entire body to tremble.
What is this b*tch saying? Is she blackmailing me? She will reveal that secret if we don’t let her son go. Is that it?
Sasha clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles cracked. She replied, “What is there to do? He killed Frederick, so shouldn’t he be punished?”
Yancy shook her head and replied, “No, this has nothing to do with him. I am the mastermind behind it all. Also, the men I sent to do my dirty work had already been killed. Did Channing know that it was Ken?”
Sasha couldn’t respond to that.
“Besides, I don’t want him imprisoned even if he did kill someone, and you’d still have to let my son go so long as I demand it, Sasha Wand.”
Fury engulfed Sasha.
She honestly wanted to smash her phone because she worried that she wouldn’t be able to control herself. She might just shout aloud, and everyone there, including her dad, would know what had happened.
Sasha scratched her head for a long while before she managed to calm herself down.
“Are you insane? How am I supposed to do all that?”
“I don’t care. Find a way to solve the issue because if you don’t, I will expose the truth about how your husband is a bast*rd. Guess what will happen then.”
This woman… she is like a venomous snake and keeps poisoning me with those words.
Sasha closed her eyes.
She ended the call abruptly.
No, I won’t do as she asked. They have done so many evil things and should be punished for their evil deeds. Besides, Sebastian is monitoring the issue personally, so I can’t mess with this particular issue. If I do, he will be furious.
But… If I don’t, that vile woman might just reveal everything as she had threatened. Sebastian will be in deep trouble then.
Sasha felt hopeless.
……
Sebastian didn’t see his wife when he dropped by that afternoon to have a meal at the Wand residence.
“She received a call and left immediately after. I’m guessing she has some things to deal with at Wand Enterprise,” replied Rufus, who didn’t think much of it.
Oh yeah, Sasha is still managing the Wand Enterprise and is responsible for it.
Sebastian never suspected anything. He simply sat down and ate with his father-in-law.
Sasha finally returned that evening.
However, she didn’t stay in the Wand residence for long. She picked up the kids and claimed that she needed to go to the Hayes Residence to cook dinner. She left immediately after.
That night, Sebastian finally saw his wife when he got home.
“Sebby, would you like some red wine?”
“Wine?”
Sebastian sat at the dining table and saw how excited Sasha seemed. She picked up a box from the floor and got a bottle of red wine out of it.
Sabrina was sitting at the side and saw that. Her eyes bulged like she was staring at the eighth wonder of the world when she said, “You actually drink? Where did you even get the bottle from?”
Sasha grinned at her while holding the bottle of wine.
“I got it from your place. You claimed that everything there is exquisite, so I dropped by today and saw this box. I’ve never seen this brand of wine before, so I got it over. Here, try some.”
Sabrina was speechless.
What the f*ck? When did we become so close that she can just go to my place without permission like that?
Still, Sasha had already brought it over, so all three of them started sipping wine at the dining table.
Sebastian was a businessman who had a lot of dinners. Hence, that wine was nothing to him.
The two ladies, however, got tipsy as they drank.
“Sabrina, l-let me ask you something. The photo of the guy in your drawer. Who’s that?”
“My… idol.”
No one would’ve imagined it, but this domineering spoilt brat of the Hayes family was actually biting her lip like a little girl after she got drunk.
Sebastian was speechless.
He cringed as goosebumps crawled all over him.
