Sasha and Vivian got into the car.
As expected, the moment she got into the car, Sebastian complained, “What took you so long?”
Sasha quickly explained, “Vivi was with Solomon, so I had to explain it to him. Oh right, Mr. Hayes. Do
you have anything else you need to settle here?”
Sebastian started the engine and drove away from the hospital. He looked at the rear-view mirror and
answered, “Of course. Why else would I come all the way here for?”
Sasha kept quiet after that. He has something else to do here? Well, that just takes the surprise visit
aspect out of the window as well. He just took Vivi with him because she won’t get in his way.
Sasha looked outside the window, telling herself that it was enough that he actually came with Vivian to
see her, even if it wasn’t his real plan.
Half an hour later, they came to a Jetroinian bar in Terrandya.
Willow knew Sasha was coming back, so she came out happily after hearing the honk. “You’re finally
back, Nancy!” But when she saw who the driver was, she cursed, “F*ck!”
Sasha was just getting out of the car when she realized that Willow was glaring at Sebastian. “Mr. Hayes
came with Vivian,” she explained. “Do you have anything to eat? Make some for me, all right?”
“Oh, sure.” Willow snapped out of it and went back inside with Vivian in her arms.
At the same time, Sasha waited outside the bar. She thought Sebastian would go in to take a break, but
to her disappointment, he didn’t come out of the car. Instead, he looked around his surroundings before a
look of disgust showed on his face.
“This is where you live?”
Sasha didn’t know what kind of answer she should give, so she nodded. “Yes.”
Sebastian looked even more upset at that, but he didn’t say anything to her. After a quiet glance, he
revved the car up and drove off, leaving her behind.
Sasha knew that would happen, but still, seeing him off that way left a bitter aftertaste in her mouth, and
the sadness almost crippled her.
Eventually, Willow came back out. When she didn’t see Sebastian or his car around, she asked, “What’s
his deal? He took the kid all the way here with him. So why is he still acting that way?”
Sasha forced a tired smile. “I have no idea.”
She couldn’t fathom the reasoning behind his actions either, but she was getting mad from it. First, she
was overjoyed to see him at the hospital, but after finding out that he wasn’t here for her, that excitement
was replaced by despondence.
In the end, he left her alone in front of the bar. If there was ever a roller coaster ride of emotions, Sasha
thought she must have ridden the craziest one that day.
That being said, she wondered why she was getting so emotional when it came to him. As Sasha sat
down on the cushion before the table in the bar, she realized the answer to that. Maybe it’s because I’m
getting greedier.
Not long after Sebastian came out of the alleyway, Jonathan’s adjutant called him. “Mr. Sebastian, are
you done? I’ve contacted the PICs for the estates under Lieutenant Colonel Jadeson’s management.
They’re on their way here, so you can come over now if it’s fine with you.”
“Got it,” Sebastian answered curtly and took off his Bluetooth earphone.
There was another reason why Sebastian came to Jetroina—to take care of Stephen’s mess.
Sebastian arrived at Ellandria a short while later. The Jadesons’ foreign estates weren’t as great as the
Hayes’, but that was no reason to think it was weak, for estates controlled by a powerful family like that
was mostly related to the government.
That was why Sebastian was surprised to find out that it was a logistics company, and the company was
a designated transportation channel for some special goods.
Having power is great.
“You’re finally here, Mr. Sebastian. These are the persons in charge of the company,” the adjutant quickly
introduced the group of people standing behind him after Sebastian arrived.
There are people in charge of this company? Sebastian glanced at the group of people, and he realized
they were staring at him too, albeit without any respect or passion. Instead, he realized there was scorn
in their eyes.
Are they mocking me? Interesting. Sebastian sat down and picked one of the documents off the stack on
the table to skim through. “Is this the list of items you guys have delivered over the past few months?”
“Yes, Mr. Sebastian. We compiled this for you. Everything’s here,” someone answered quickly.
Sebastian went back to the list quietly. When the persons in charge standing behind the adjutant noticed
that, they scoffed at Sebastian silently.
“The Jadesons must be stupid. Not even Stephen could do anything about us, and they expect this brat
to do what he couldn’t?”
