The reason Yancy sent Akiko to Hayes Corporation was not so much for gaining insider information about the company. Rather, it was just to stoke Solomon to anger.
She wanted to make him her pawn again and undo all her past embarrassment.
Solomon was not the real reason why she was putting up a long fight. It was for herself—her own revenge. She had to crush those people under her feet.
So this is her real motivation.
The housekeeper finally understood Yancy’s plan and manipulation. It set her off in trepidation.
Over on the other side, Sasha finally managed to have a breather in the afternoon.
She had completed most of her work and there was nothing much left to do, so she got ready to go home.
She had been so occupied lately she did not manage to spend much time with her children. She did not even get to visit her father after he was released from prison.
Sasha packed her things and made a call.
“Hey.”
“I’m sorry, Madam. Mr. Hayes is still not back yet.”
Luke knew who she was looking for, so he immediately told her everything.
He’s still not back yet?
Who is he meeting? A big client? I haven’t seen him the whole day.
Sasha did not spell her questions. She hung up and left alone. She swung by the market to get some fruits before dropping by the Wand residence.
“Dad!”
“Sasha! What brings you here? You’re not working today?”
Rufus was elated when he saw his daughter. He ran out from the living room to welcome her with a wide smile on his face.
Sasha walked in and put the fruits on the table.
“I’m not that busy today as most of the things are almost settled already. What have you been doing these days? Where’s Lennie?”
Sasha was looking around for Lance, but she saw no sign of him. Instead, she saw two cups of drinks on the table.
“Did someone come by?”
“Oh, Uncle Jackson came by in the afternoon. I asked him to stay back for lunch, but he said he didn’t like my cooking, so he went back already.”
Sasha looked at her father as he spoke. Time had left its mark on Rufus and it broke Sasha’s heart to see him aged.
Although he was already out of prison, Heather was already gone. Only Rufus and Lance were staying in this house now. She could imagine how difficult things must have been for both of them.
