“Huh?”
The assistant was utterly confused.
No…no way!
The first thing he had to confirm should he make the news public was whether Sasha’s household register was still tied to the Hayes. She would find out soon enough that Old Mr. Hayes had yet to learn of her return, and that would reveal to her Sebastian’s reasons for doing what he did.
The assistant nodded as he put two and two together in his mind. He glanced at the lawyer sitting in the backseat, slightly shocked by this revelation.
Meanwhile, Sasha made her way to her kids’ preschool to pick them up after school.
She had thought that they would leap into her embrace the moment they saw her as usual, but she was instead greeted by several teachers, much to her confusion.
“Ms. Wand, we need to inform you that your son got into a little scuffle with another kid and got injured as a result,” a teacher said with her head bowed low apologetically.
“Huh?” Sasha exclaimed with a gasp.
No way…didn’t his twin brother just get in a fight today? Can they communicate telepathically or something?
Without wasting another second, Sasha rushed into the building to look for her son.
Matteo was sitting in the middle of the room while being surrounded by teachers, who were trying their best to comfort him.
“Does it hurt, Matt? I can apply some ointment on the wound,” a teacher offered, only for Matteo to turn her down with a wave of his injured hand.
“No need. I’m a brave young man!” he declared with a large grin.
The truth was, he had sustained that injury while beating up another kid with his twin brother, and the fight with his classmate was just to dispel suspicion.
Vivian, having taken part in the same fight as her big brother, watched everything from the sidelines. After a while, she stood up and announced, “He’s fine, don’t worry! My brother never loses a fight!”
Matteo and the teachers fell silent, confused by her sudden declaration.
Luckily, Sasha rushed in at that very moment before any of the teachers could figure out what Vivian meant. “Are you alright, Matt? I heard that someone beat you up!” she exclaimed, scooping her son into her arms to check him for injuries.
