Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1136

Alas, no one believed their words.

After all, none of them would assume that an eight-year-old boy had tampered with the surveillance tapes.

In the end, Helma had to apologize to Sasha before the latter left with the kids in tow.

“I’m really sorry, Sasha. I thought you could have a good time with the kids here. I had no idea this would happen. Please accept my apologies,” she said, sincerity ringing in her voice.

“It’s fine. The kids are just fooling around,” Sasha assured her calmly.

There wasn’t a need for her to get mad, after all.

After meeting those officials’ wives and seeing for herself how they questioned and provoked her, it was clear that this wasn’t a normal gathering.

Instead, this was a trap.

All in all, she should have no cause to feel conflicted.

As Sasha drove back to Oceanic Estate, she asked, “Matteo, be honest with me. How did the girls cut their fingers?”

“Well…”

The smug kids immediately scrunched up their faces at her question.

“Mommy, you know what happened?”

“I want to know the reason.” Sasha glanced in the rearview mirror, her tone stern.

Matteo’s head drooped over his shoulders, indicating he was upset.

Yes, he and Ian had tampered with the surveillance tapes. But we did that to protect Vivi and Mommy!

Glumly, Matteo explained everything in detail. Once he finished, he looked up and said, “Mommy, I don’t think I did anything wrong. The girls bullied Vivi on purpose. Can’t I avenge Vivi?”

“Mm!” Ian indicated that he was on the same side as Matteo.

Sasha fell silent, as she didn’t know how to discipline her sons.

They were right to defend their sister, but their actions were too vicious for their age.

If the girls’ fingers were broken for real, their daddy would have a hard time handling those representatives in the White House.

She brought them back home without further delay.

That night, Sebastian found out about the incident and summoned Ian.

“Tell me why you didn’t stop your brother today,” he stated sternly.

The eight-year-old boy had never seen his dad this stern. He froze as his mind blanked out.
