Sasha was helped down the stairs. Then, she fell onto her knees without warning.
Sabrina blinked in surprise at that.
“Didn’t you want to see me crawling to you on all fours? Fine. I’ll grant you your wish, but you’ll have to promise me one thing—after you get what you want, you must immediately take me away from this place.”
“Why should I?”
“Because the person who wants to capture me is your half-brother. And do you know why he wants me, Sabrina? It’s because he plans to use me to blackmail Sebastian and force him to hand over Hayes Corporation. Do you understand now?”
Sasha’s tone turned grave as she uttered the latter part of the sentence from her position on the ground.
Sabrina’s expression changed slightly.
She wasn’t a fool, to begin with. Not to mention, she had managed Hayes Corporation for many years. So of course she had suspected as much.
But why should I care? My own family gave up on me. Two of my closest relatives banished me here. Why should I care about any of this?
Sabrina’s buried resentment surged within her heart, and her features instantly distorted with rage.
“What does this have to do with me? But don’t you worry. I won’t let you fall into his hands. I’ll make sure you die in mine before letting that happen.”
She approached the woman on the floor step by step. Upon coming to a halt in front of Sasha, she poured the cup of coffee in her hand onto the latter’s head.
“Miss-”
“Ahhh!”
A loud scream echoed through the place, followed by the housemaid’s exclamation. Sasha clutched her head and curled into a ball.
The coffee in that cup was still boiling hot!
After that, Sabrina left the house once again.
With her gone, Sasha soaked herself in cold water for a long time before her head and face felt better.
“Madam, please don’t take it to heart. Ms. Sabrina is just… Well, she suffered a lot when she first came here. That’s why she got so worked up when you mentioned her brother and father. Please don’t hold it against her.”
The housemaid kept apologizing on behalf of Sabrina for what the latter did.
But of course Sasha understood.
Despite what Sabrina did to her, she couldn’t be bothered arguing ever since she saw Sabrina coming back late the previous night.
In reality, deep down inside, Sabrina had never once given up on the Hayes family.
