"Zachary, must you speak up for her?" Sasha's gaze turned icy. "Have you considered who you've raised since childhood?"
Zachary paused and averted his gaze slowly. He had a stronger emotional bond with Sasha, having been with her since she was a child.
However, there was a hurdle in his heart he couldn't cross, and that was Lena, the daughter of Krystal, his savior.
"Zachary, after my mom's last breakfast with me in Southeast Aciatic, she headed to Centrolis. She got caught by the police on her way back... Remember what she told you in prison?" Sasha knew this was Zachary's weak point and exploited it.
"Your mom told me to take care of you."
Sasha lightly held his hand. "Zachary, you always talk about repaying kindness. Can't you fulfill my mom's request?"
"She asked me to take care of you, not to help you harm her other daughter!"
"You're wrong. My mom only has one daughter!" Sasha's eyes looked crazed. "Between me and her, only one can survive!"
"You..."
Sasha sneered, pulled her hand away, and walked back to her room.
Zachary stood still for a long time, feeling stuck with no way forward or backward.
Since Krystal left, her businesses in Southeast Aciatic had continuously lost money. Bars and nightclubs struggled to stay afloat. The competition was fierce, and Sasha was not cut out for business. She quickly spent all the money.
At that point, Zachary thought of the Chrisses in Centrolis. His original intention had been to use this connection to ask for money. However, he hadn't expected Sasha to be so ambitious, wanting to take half of the Chrisses' wealth and replace Lena...
Zachary sighed.
Despite his deep affection for Sasha, emotions overcame reason. Thus, he decided to find Lena.
