She never had the chance to tell him they had filed for divorce because she was afraid of sharing the news with him.
After all, he might not be able to take the bad news when he wasn’t even in his prime in terms of health.
Rufus heaved a sigh of relief once he found out his so-called son-in-law was fine. Little did he know his daughter had been lying to him by repeating the information she acquired in the evening.
“I’m just glad things turn out fine for him! I can’t believe she’s such a vicious woman! She was nothing similar to her current self when she was affiliated with your mother back in the day!”
He got increasingly irked the moment he brought up Yancy in front of Sasha.
Sasha smirked and said, “It’s not much of a surprise for you and Mom to fall for her tricks when she could even trick Sebastian’s late father back into dancing to her tune back in the day.”
Unwilling to carry on with the conversation, Rufus started savoring the plate of fruits Sasha had served him.
It was then Sasha thought of getting her father a pail of water to wipe his body clean.
Out of the blue, Rufus asked, “Since she had thought of exposing Sebastian and Frederick’s relationship, did she mention anything about Frieda?”
Sasha, who was in the bathroom, answered without giving it much of a thought, “She did accuse Mr. Hayes of having an affair with Sebastian’s biological mother. Why?”
“If that’s the case, she’s in deep trouble because Frieda is Shin’s wife! If the Jadesons is aware Yancy has been trying something silly against Sebastian—”
Bam!
Sasha dropped the pail of water when she heard her father.
Why have I not thought of this? We’re not the only ones aware of Sebastian’s actual identity!
His so-called father was never involved in an affair with his biological mother because she was pregnant with him when Mr. Hayes took her in!
The Jadesons will never forgive the ones accusing the successor of the family!
After linking the missing pieces of puzzles together, Sasha’s mind went completely blank. She felt a chill running down her spine and lost herself in a train of thought.
“Sasha? Sasha, are you okay?”
Rufus knew something was wrong with his daughter. Thus, he got out of bed and rushed in the direction of the bathroom.
It was then Sasha rushed out of the bathroom and mentioned, “D-Dad, I have something to tend to! Why don’t you go ahead and finish your meal without me?”
Her face had turned pale and haggard in a matter of seconds. She couldn’t even remain calm anymore as much as she was afraid of startling her father.
Rufus glanced at her and knew she had something else in mind even though he wasn’t sure of her concerns.
