“I will! By the way, Mr. Jadeson. I was wondering, how did you get your hands on our smelting plant
back then? I seem to have never heard you mention it.”
“The White House gave it to me. Back then, I made significant contributions to the country, so they
gave me the Oceanic Estate and the smelting plant.
Mark didn’t say a word for a long time.
On the same day, Sasha was busy planning meals at the hotel.
She personally went to the Palace Hotel to place orders for food, then went to the Hayes Residence to
inform the Hayeses. By the time she was done, it was already afternoon.
Sasha: Sab, are you at the office? Have you seen Solomon?
Sabrina: Why are you always asking me about that piece of trash, you weirdo? Do I look like his
secretary who knows about his whereabouts whenever?
Sasha felt helpless when she received the reply on WhatsApp.
She obviously cared about the matter. She just didn’t want to admit it.
Sasha didn’t bother her anymore. She returned to Frontier Bay and planned to go back to the hotel at
night.
“Mrs. Hayes, you’re finally back. I received a call moments ago. Mr. Sebastian got drunk at Norden Isle
and asked you to pick him up.”
“Huh?”
Sasha was stunned when she heard about it after having just returned.
Sebastian got drunk?
That’s not right. Before I went out in the morning, didn’t he tell me that he was going to the
customs? Why is he at Norden Isle?
Could it be that he had another meeting for dinner later at Norden Isle?
After returning from her thoughts, she returned to the garage and drove out in the white Porsche.
She could understand if Sebastian was drunk at a dinner and asked for her to pick him up because he
used to ask for someone to pick him up when he got drunk from socializing back then.
However, he would ask Luke or Karl to pick him up.
But now, Luke was busy helping at Hayes Corporation, and Karl’s whereabouts were unknown. Sasha
and the others have not seen him since they came to Avenport.
Sasha drove at high speed. Shortly after, she arrived at the Norden Isle pier.
“Are you Mrs. Hayes?”
“Yes. And you are?”
“We are Mr. Giovanni’s subordinates. They had us wait here for you when they heard you were
coming.” The two men who were waiting at the pier and explained to Sasha politely.
Only then did Sasha understand.
“You director is too kind. I am familiar with Norden Isle, so he didn’t have to worry about me. Thanks for
welcoming me.”
“It’s our pleasure. In fact, any of us could have sent Mr. Hayes home. But he kept calling for you, so
there was nothing we could do.” The two of them showed a very embarrassed expression, and Sasha
blushed upon hearing it.
Why is he so unreserved after having a bit too much to drink? What happened to his noble and
glamorous attitude? Sasha was embarrassed by Sebastian. She quickly followed them onto the boat
and headed for Norden Isle.
Norden Isle was actually a delta located at the mouth of a river in Avenport. The alluvium of the river
formed it over the years. Despite its small surface area, the scenery on the island was breathtaking due
to the serene waters surrounding it.
Back when Sebastian was in charge of Hayes Corporation, he was captivated by its beauty. So he
spent a lot of money to build an expansive five-star hotel on it.
There was also an abundance of leisure and entertainment attractions around the hotel.
Therefore, Sasha was no stranger to Norden Isle. She could even remember the exact distance
between the two places.
However, when she was on the speedboat, they suddenly stopped in the middle of the river.
“What’s wrong?”
“Apologies, Mrs. Hayes. It seems like the engine on the speedboat is having some problems. We will
handle it immediately.”
After explaining the situation of the speedboat apologetically, one of them quickly went to fix the
engine.
Sasha couldn’t say anything more. She took out her phone to call the drunk Sebastian on the island to
inform him about the situation so he wouldn’t worry.
“Ring… Ring…”
“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”
Darn it! I can’t even make a phone call on this darn island!
Sasha twitched her eyebrows and was about to attempt calling again. At this moment, there was a
notification on WhatsApp. Someone sent her a message.
Sabrina: What the hell! That lunatic announced his resignation!
Sasha stared at the text for a few seconds as she couldn’t even react.
Did I read that wrong?
Sabrina: I’m going there to kill him right now!
Another relentless message came in. Sasha could feel the presence of Sabrina’s fury just by looking at
her smartphone.
It took a while for Sasha to regain her senses. She quickly tapped on Sabrina for a video call.
“Hello? Sab?”
“What are you calling me for? I’m going out now. I’m going to kill that useless man. That lunatic is really
driving me crazy.”
