Following that, Sebastian put down his phone and summoned Luke not long after.
“Inform Karl that Sabrina went to Jetroina and ask him to bring her back!”
“Yes, Mr. Hayes!” Luke replied.
After a few minutes, when Sebastian was about to head out, the manager from the development department appeared at his office.
“Mr. Hayes, regarding the mine for the rare metals you asked me to investigate, I’ve found out that we have a middle man right here in Avenport.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Sir. And sources say he has quite a few mines in his hands. Three or four at least. Would you like to meet him?”
The manager was very enthusiastic because he assumed that the company was planning to tackle some new projects.
But in actuality, Sebastian was just using the company’s name to release the information so that he could bait the people involved in that business as soon as possible.
Sebastian agreed on a time for the meeting.
At noon, Sasha called.
“Sebby, can you tell Mark to let us out? The kids want to go see their grandpa, but they won’t let us.”
She sounded tired and very much defeated.
Sebastian’s eyebrow twitched as his gaze fell onto a soldier in the office who was there on standby.
“What can I do for you?” Mark asked, standing up straight upon noticing Sebastian’s gaze.
Sebastian did not answer.
It took quite a long while before he eventually asked, “How long are you people going to be here?”
“I’m not sure.” Mark shook his head. “But we were ordered to ensure the safety of you and your family until everything is settled. We can’t allow something like last time to happen again.”
He was referring to the incident on Norden Isle, of course.
Sebastian’s forehead throbbed.
However, he did not say much about it and merely ordered Mark to send a few men to escort Sasha and the kids to see her father.
“Yes, Sir.” Mark’s reply was clean and precise.
Sasha, who had been stuck in Frontier Bay for almost a week, could finally bring the children to visit the Wand family.
“All right, sweeties. You guys are in charge of covering for me when I go meet that person, okay?”
“Yes, Mommy,” the kids agreed after they got out of the car.
“Sure. We’re under orders to protect your family after all. We should do that much.”
The guard accepted Sasha’s request immediately and left the Wand residence with the car. The kids all came out as well and started playing with the remaining guards.
After that, Sasha went back in and did some work before coming out again. Seeing that the guards were now lax, she when back in and told Rufus that they were out of salt and that she would buy some from the convenience store nearby.
“Okay.”
Rufus was practically oblivious to what happened, so there was not a single hint of doubt in him.
With that, Sasha was finally able to get away.
After several minutes, at the convenience store not far from the residence, Sasha was finally able to meet the person who was looking for her.
“Ms. Wand…”
The person stopped talking as she could barely hold the tears in her bloodshot eyes when she saw Sasha. Sorrow and anxiety were written all over her beautiful face.
Lo and behold, it was Jamie, also known as Akiko Sato, the person who had worked for Sasha in the past.
When Sasha saw Jamie and how she looked, she suddenly had a bad feeling about what was to come.
“What happened? Where is Solomon? Haven’t you been following him? Why did you come here alone all of a sudden?”
