When Sebastian got home at night, the home was already in a ruckus.
Sasha stood before him with her head low and looked pale as if she was ready to get a good round of scolding from him.
“What happened?”
“Please don’t be angry at Madam, Mr. Hayes. Ms. Sabrina insisted on leaving. There’s nothing we could do to stop her.”
Wendy came to Sasha’s defense when she realized things were going out of control.
Sebastian was incensed. He almost flipped the whole table upside down when he found out about it.
“Does she want to get herself killed?”
When Sasha saw Sebastian had gone berserk, she quickly came over and held him.
“Are you okay, Sebby? I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I should’ve stopped her,” Sasha kept apologizing.
“This is not your fault. You stand no chance against her if she wants to leave.”
Sebastian knew this very well.
He was enraged because Sabrina was being intractable. He had already told her clearly about the gravity of the situation, yet she insisted on going her way.
Is she that stupid?
Sebastian was so infuriated he did not even have dinner.
Sasha came over and spoke slowly to Sebastion when she saw this. “Sebby, it’s not a bad thing altogether if you think about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“She’ll know she really stands no chance when she experiences it for herself. She won’t understand unless she has gone through it herself. She will learn her lesson the hard way.”
Sasha looked at Sebastian carefully as she chose the right words.
As she expected, Sebastian felt better after hearing her words.
“I’m not against her loving Devin. I just don’t want her to get herself hurt. You know what that family is capable of…”
Sasha was hoping Sebastian could elaborate further, but he did not.
“Are they really that powerful?”
“I heard from Devin that his uncle fell in love with a commoner many years ago. The whole family was so shaken up they refused to take his remains back even after he had died for so many years. God knows what they did to the girl. They must have gotten rid of her.”
Sebastian lay down in bed and narrated everything with pain and resignation in his voice.
Sasha stared at him quietly.
So his dad did not even get to go back home even in his death.
They are so heartless. He’s their son. Do they really have to be so cruel just because he brought shame to the family?
What will they do to Sebastian if they found out he’s actually Shin’s son?
Fear gripped her as her though wandered.
Sasha was terrified. Her body quivered uncontrollably as if death was tightening its grip around her throat.
Sasha felt breathless all of a sudden.
“Are you okay, Darling?”
Sebastian sat up and looked at her worriedly.
Sasha flung herself on him and hugged him tightly. “Sebby, promise me we’ll grow old together? We should steer clear of their way and never cross paths with them.
Did I scare her?
Ha. There’s no way we will ever come across this family.
Sebastian did not give it much thought. He thought Sasha was petrified because of what he told her about the Jadesons.
He hugged her back and assured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Sabrina. I am quite close to Devin, so I’ll give him a call and ask him to sort this out.”
Sasha nodded and finally fell asleep peacefully.
Sebastian gave Devin a call the moment he reached the company the next day, but before he could say anything, Devin beat him to it.
“What’s going on, Sebastian?” he asked begrudgingly, “Why did you ask your sister to come all the way to the army camp to look for me?”
“What?” Devin’s forthright question made Sebastian uncomfortable. “I didn’t ask her to go over. She sneaked out and went over on her own. That’s why I’m calling.”
“Then, you should have been more careful. You know what the army camp is like. Now everyone here knows about her coming in and getting on my bed. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t really mind what she’s doing, but you’ll have to think about your family’s reputation.”
Devin sounded harsh on the phone. He was probably still upset over what happened.
Likewise, Sebastian was seething with anger upon hearing Devin’s remarks.
He ended the call and slammed his phone against the table.
“Get in here, Luke!” The assistant, who had been waiting outside for several minutes, jumped when his boss shouted from his office at the top of his lung.
He rushed in without losing a moment.
“Go and get her out of that place! I want that shameless piece of trash back here right this instance!”
Sebastian was shouting so loud the whole office was shaken, but his rage was understandable.
No one would be able to take this kind of embarrassment, especially someone as influential and powerful as Sebastian.
Devin’s words slapped him hard in the face.
