“I’m fine, you don’t have to give it to me. You need it more than I do. I don’t want you to faint again.”
Sasha quickly stopped Sebastian when she saw him taking off his coat, but he could not care less.
He pulled his coat over her and bundled her up securely.
Sasha was speechless as he did that.
“Mommy! Look at that woman. She looks exactly like me when I’m wearing your clothes. Only her head
is sticking out from the big coat.”
A kid’s voice rang crisp and loud on the platform. Everyone who heard him turned around to look at
Sasha.
Sasha felt so embarrassed, yet Sebastian seemed unperturbed.
He wrapped her up nicely and pulled her over by the collar.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?” Sasha cried, “Let go of me! I’m not a kid!”
She was losing it.
Sasha struggled to get away from him, but the commotion only attracted more jealous gazes.
Gosh, this public display of affection is just too much for me.
Why is it that all good men are taken? Life is so unfair.
Bystanders were wondering why a tall and handsome man like Sebastian would fall for someone as
ordinary as Sasha.
A lot of women were envious as they watched the couple.
By the time they got out of the subway station, Luke was already waiting outside in the car. When he
saw Sebastian and Sasha, he got off immediately and opened the door for them.
“Mr. Hayes, Madam, you are finally back. Is everything okay?”
The assistant was worried sick.
Although Karl had told him everything over the phone earlier on, Luke still wanted to make sure
everything was fine on his own. He wondered why Sebastian would take public transport instead of his
private jet.
He wanted to know if everything was settled, but Sebastian did not even look at him.
“Darling, do you want to go home or go to the company? What about we go to the hospital and get you
treated first?” Sebastian asked, looking at Sasha’s forehead.
He actually wanted to ask her what happened earlier on, but he did not because he was afraid she
might get upset. That was why he waited till now, yet Sasha did even care.
“It’s okay. It’s nothing serious. It’s just a scratch. We should just go to the company. We need to discuss
our next step now that we have the contract. Time is of the essence.”
With that said, she hopped in the car while Sebastian and Luke looked at her speechlessly.
It took Luke a while to snap back and he slowly turned toward Sebastian.
“Mr. Hayes, I think you should treat Madam better. She’s rather carefree, but this is not an excuse for
you to bully her.”
“Get lost!”
Sebastian was already frustrated enough. Luke’s words added fuel to the fire and Sebastian got into
the car after shouting at him.
Hey… did I do something wrong? I’m just telling the truth.
Over in Lostaria, Jetroina, the weather had been gloomy for two days. A lot of the peonies in Jade
Garden were shriveling up. Without proper care, the flowers could not survive the changing season.
Like the flowers, Akiko had been downcast for the past few days.
She had been agonizing over her brother and sister’s deaths, but she did not dare to act on her
emotions.
“Akiko, is the tea ready? Mrs. Tsurka is waiting.”
“Coming.”
Akiko quickly responded, picking up the tea powder she had just grinded.
Crash!
Just as Akiko was approaching, something crashed on the ground.
“How dare he? I used all my connections and did everything I could to help him! How dare he refuse to
come and see me?”
Yancy was indignant. Everyone in the garden held their breath and kept quiet.
Akiko was afraid too.
She wondered who Yancy was referring to.
Is she talking about Solomon? So he’s out already?
Thinking of him, a sweet smile curved on Akiko’s lips. She felt like she finally saw the light at the end of
the tunnel.
“I’m sure he will drop by, Mrs. Tsurka. He probably just got back and needs time to calm down. He’ll
come over in a few days” the housekeeper said, trying to calm Yancy down.
“He needs time? What for? I pulled all the strings I could to get him back. He should at least be grateful
for what I did for him. Look at what he’s doing now? Is he trying to show me he’s angry with me?”
“I totally understand why you’re furious, Mrs. Tsurka, but what should we do next? Should we just wait
and see how things go before acting?”
The housekeeper reminded Yancy of their plan.
There was no way Yancy would just do nothing and wait.
Although Solomon was already released, they had suffered irreversible losses. Not only did they not
get Hayes Corporation, but they also lost Sinch Enterprise.
Da*n it!
That bast*rd is not even one of the Hayes. How dare he takes over the company!
Hatred and bitterness blazed in Yancy’s eyes as she thought of the humiliation Sebastian had caused
them.
