“What is it?”
“At three or four in the morning, something happened in a train carriage—someone recalled hearing a loud sound. After the crew investigated it, they said that someone had secretly smuggled firecrackers in. Everyone in that train carriage was evacuated and a few have been detained.”
The leader of the team suddenly revealed this information to her.
Firecrackers?
When travelers board the train, they would have to undergo a strict security check by the authorities before that. It was impossible for anyone to smuggle prohibited items on board.
Hence, Sasha did not really believe that.
“This isn’t the truth, right?”
“You’re smart, Ms. Wand. When we investigated it, we realized that there were no signs of firecrackers in that carriage. Instead, we found bullets and ammunition. There were also uncleaned bloodstains on the floor!”
When Sasha heard that, her mind became blank. Her hand started shaking as she gripped her phone.
Bullets? Bloodstains? Why did they suddenly appear for no reason? Did something bad already happen to Frieda? Was she killed by the Jadesons on that train?
Sasha trembled violently.
“Investigate what happened immediately! See if it has anything to do with the person I’m trying to save!” she instructed agitatedly, asking them to find out the truth to the best of their abilities.
No matter what, she needed to find Frieda—regardless of whether she was alive or dead!
The man agreed and hung up the call.
Sasha slowly placed her phone down. Her body had turned cold and her palms were filled with sweat.
At this moment, someone outside her office was looking for her.
“Ms. Wand, the legal department suddenly sent a message, saying that the case is not going smoothly. Since Mr. Hayes is not around, they hope that you can go there and discuss the case with them.”
“What?”
Sasha, who had just placed her phone down, raised her head abruptly.
Her face was still completely pale.
“Apparently, the evidence that was provided to the court is different from the one provided by the defendant. Also, after a series of checks, it is proved that the defendant’s version is the master tape.”
The person who looked for her was a department manager tasked to relay the message to her.
However, when he saw how unpleasant Sasha’s expression was, he was so scared that he could not even speak coherently.
“Ms. Wand, a-are you alright?”
Sasha felt like fainting.
Of course, I’m not alright! It feels like the sky is crashing down on me right now.
The master tape? How is that possible?
I’ve only taken a random CD from the legal department, not the master tape. Why did it suddenly appear?
Overwhelmed by utter confusion, she felt like she had just been doused by icy-cold water. Other than despair and fear, she could feel nothing else.
The manager asked, “Ms. Wand?”
She gave no response.
After a long while, she stared at him emotionlessly like a zombie and asked, “When do they want me to go over?”
“Now. The legal department said that after it happened, they immediately asked for an adjournment. The session will continue half an hour later. If you want to go there, I can send you there right away.”
Seeing that she was planning to go, the manager offered to send her.
After all, Sasha was not only their very capable director but was also the president’s wife.
Otherwise, the legal department would not ask her to discuss this matter while Sebastian was absent from the office.
Sasha eventually left the office and reached the court twenty minutes later.
“Ms. Wand, the legal department is in the break room now. Do you want me to bring you there?”
“It’s fine.”
Sasha got out of the car and gazed at the solemn-looking building in front of her. Looking at the symbol of justice right in front of the building, she scoffed in contempt.
She had no idea what went wrong during the court session.
Yancy wanted the master tape of the video, but I gave her the fake one. Why is there still evidence that’s to the Hayes Corporation’s disadvantage?
When she glanced at the entrance of the courts, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her vision.
She immediately narrowed her eyes.
“Ms. Wand, w-why are you here?”
The person was none other than Akiko, who was supposed to be undercover as Jamie. She did not expect Sasha to suddenly appear there.
Suddenly, panic surged through her. The joy of Solomon turning the tables around earlier had disappeared.
Sasha stared at her coldly.
“You gave it to your master right away, huh?”
“W-What?”
Akiko suddenly widened her eyes as a look of fear flitted past them.
