Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 912

Is Jonathan really letting me manage Oceanic Estate?

As soon as those words were spoken, all eyes turned to Sasha, staring at her with surprise and envy.

Jocelyn and Shirley, in particular, were almost going crazy with resentment. They were both squeezing their fists so hard that their nails were digging painfully into their palms.

In truth, it was not just Jasmine but rather all the women on this side of the family who had been vying for the position as the matriarch of the Jadesons. This struggle had been going on for years.

This was because Stephen was a rather unexceptional and mediocre man.

On the other hand, Charles and Connor had been the unfailing pillars of support of the Jadesons all these years.

As such, no one could say that these two women, being the wives of Charles and Connor, would not have a shot at becoming the matriarch of the Jadesons in the future.

No one would have guessed that, after these three women grappled with each other for so many years, this young lady would appear out of nowhere and be given the coveted title. How could they not feel resentment in their hearts?

How can we not feel jealous?

Jocelyn and Shirley looked almost murderous with rage.

However, Sasha did not pay them any heed. After the butler had delivered his message, she merely sat down there and opened up the book of accounts that she had brought with her.

“I’m sorry, everyone. If we were to look at seniority, I know every single person here is more deserving of this role than I am, but Old Mr. Jadeson has already given his orders. I have no choice but to comply with his request. I hope you will all accept this with an open heart,” Sasha said apologetically to the room.

Janice, who was also in the room with her, flashed her a thumbs up after hearing her little speech.

However, everybody else in the room was deeply dissatisfied. They looked like a pack of wolves ready to rip her into pieces. Sasha had angered them, and they wanted to swallow her whole.

Sasha looked at the book of accounts in her lap and ran her eyes down the first page. “Jocelyn, Jade Court’s withdrawals amounted to five million each month last year. May I check with you what the money was used for?”

“What is the meaning of this?” Jocelyn jumped to her feet furiously. “Are you challenging me?”

“I’m not challenging you; I’m merely auditing our accounts. There are records of all your monthly withdrawals, but the purpose of such withdrawals has never been recorded. That’s why I’m asking you now,” Sasha explained lightly.

She seemed unperturbed by Jocelyn’s outrage. She merely raised her head and looked at the older woman in a measured manner.

Considering the fact that she had spent some time on Wall Street in the past, Sasha would not allow anyone to question her right now.

However, it seemed Jocelyn was unrelenting.
