“Huh…what? What did you say? Me? Panic? I merely tripped. What is wrong with you?” she asked as she looked at Sebastian with pleading eyes, hoping he would let her off.
To her surprise, this fail-proof trick had failed her this time. The man grabbed her by the collar and slammed her into the wall and forced her to stand still.
“That won’t work on me. So, let me ask you one more time. Was it your idea for Sabrina to approach Devin?”
“Yes…”
Sasha saw no way out of this situation and admitted it.
Anger instantly filled Sebastian when he noticed Sasha nodding her head. He was so mad, he almost fainted.
“Are you crazy? Why would you teach her that? You have made the Hayes family a laughing stock because of your stupid idea!”
“But she likes Devin. What’s wrong with having a crush on someone? She can make the first move if she wants to!”
“But that’s the Jadesons!”
“So? What is done cannot be undone, and it doesn’t matter if they’re the Jadesons!”
“He*l no! Did you forget what happened to his uncle? His life was ruined all because he wanted to marry an ordinary woman. You’re ruining her life. Besides, do you know that Devin and I can’t be friends anymore if that happens?” He was so pissed he wanted to strangle her.
However, Sasha’s eyes gleamed when he heard those words.
Why is that? Does that mean my plan is working?
She instantly felt less guilty when she heard his words. Instead, she was rather pleased that she didn’t hide it.
“I knew you wanted to break us apart.”
The man calmed down when he noticed her expression. He became a completely different person and spoke indifferently.
Sasha was shocked when she saw the change in his expression!
What is he talking about?
Her face went pale as the color drained from her face.
“I was thinking all this while. You’re a smart person, so why would you give Sabrina such an idea? You guys are friends, so why would you want to taint her reputation before she got married?”
Sasha did not answer as chills went down her spine.
Oh my god. He’s such a cunning man. Who knew he’d think of such ideas to set me up.
“Then, I realized what your plan was. You did this to put Devin and my friendship to the test. Consequently, as the heir to the Jadesons, Devin couldn’t marry Sabrina by then. As for me, Sabrina’s brother, you knew I wouldn’t allow this to happen to her.”
“We would eventually fall out and become enemies. Am I right?” He walked up to her and asked condescendingly.
He stared at her as waves of emotion churned within his heart. He was confused, disappointed, sad, and angry at the same time.
I don’t understand why would she do that? Why would she want to separate Devin and me?
Sebastian hovered over her like a tower and stared at her, waiting for an answer. She began to tremble as tears rolled down her cheeks. It didn’t take long before she couldn’t hold it in anymore and decided to spill the beans.
“Yes, I don’t want you to get too close to him,” she said.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why? Do you know him?”
He asked her the same question as he did to Devin in the past.
However, Sasha shook her head.
“I don’t. But, I was scared as soon as I heard the things you said about the Jadesons. Besides, when I was imprisoned by Yancy in Japan, she told me stories about the Jadesons. She’s a powerful woman, so she must know the family.”
She lied to Sebastian as she pulled his sleeve with teary eyes. She did it just to make him believe her.
Yancy?
Sebastian’s expression instantly changed when he heard the name. It was as if a wave of realization hit him and everything made sense.
“So, you were worried that Yancy would gang up with the Jadesons and go against us? Is that why you didn’t want Devin and I to get closer to each other?”
“Yes.”
She nodded her head as tears continued to roll down her face.
Sebastian was speechless.
His heart ached as he saw tears rolling down her face endlessly.
Forget it, you’re such a fool!
Sebastian decided to let it slide as he hugged her. He then gently wiped the tears off her cheeks and sighed.
During nightfall, Sebastian woke up and glanced at Sasha, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
He silently grabbed his phone and sent a text. ”Find out the relationship between the Hayes and the Jadesons.”
