Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 197

Elated, Frederick ordered a check of twenty million to be prepared and handed it personally to Sasha.

“Sasha, no matter what, Sabrina has gone overboard this time. Take this compensation as a token of my apology. After this, I will send her overseas for five years where she will be forbidden to return. What do you think?”

“What?”

Sasha looked up in shock and couldn’t believe what she heard.

What do I think of it?

What other choice do I have? Based on the law, Sabrina has to go to prison to pay for the life she cost.

But now, he is simply trying to brush it off.

It seems he had already planned this. Getting me to come was just to complete the charade.

Hanging her head, Sasha let out a self-deprecating smile. “It sounds good, I…”

“What do you mean it sounds good? Sasha, do you not have any pride at all? Isn’t your dad his old friend? Brothers-in-arms even? What’s going on now? Are you only worth this much to him?”

Little did she expect Sebastian to speak out all of a sudden after watching silently the whole time.

His words were filled with mockery while his expression was one of disdain. However, what he said enraged Frederick.

“You b*stard! What did you say?”

“Isn’t it obvious what I’m saying? I’m reminding you to live up to your own reputation. When you got me to marry her, didn’t you declare to the whole of Avenport how righteous you were? Now that your daughter pulled such a scheme on her, you’re only paying her twenty million for hush money?” Sebastian brazenly confronted his father.

Deafening silence descended upon the room while Frederick’s eye began to turn white from anger.

“Mr. Hayes Sr.!”

“Dad…”

Everyone in the hall rushed up to Frederick including Sabrina who quickly scrambled to her feet.

Sasha was flabbergasted.

When she finally regained her senses, she saw that Sebastian had no intention of backing down, causing her to grow anxious. Right before he said another word, she dashed up to him and quickly covered his mouth with her hands.

“Shut up! Don’t make it worse.”

Caught by surprise, Sebastian froze.

All that was left was his fearsome eyes staring down intently at her hand. She could see his beautiful eyelashes spreading out just like two small fans.
