Sasha nearly jumped back in shock.
What on earth is happening today? Why can’t I catch my breath for a single moment?
In a daze, Sasha couldn’t even remember how she exited the room.
When she snapped back to reality, Sasha found herself laying on the bed with an aching body. Moreover, it was already dark outside.
F*ck!
She looked up at the ceiling and forced herself to calm down.
Knock! Knock!
“Who is it?” Sasha called out.
“Sasha, are you awake? I’m here to escort you to Oceanic Estate,” a feminine voice replied.
Is that Janice?
Sasha was surprised to hear Janice’s voice. Immediately, she rose to her feet and tidied herself up before opening the door to greet the woman.
“Aunt Janice, why are you here?”
“Mark told me to come and get you. Sasha, you need to get to the Oceanic Estate as soon as possible. An incident has occurred; you need to help oversee the situation.”
As soon as Sasha opened the door, Janice grasped her hand. The latter’s desperate demeanor was a stark contrast to her usually calm one.
The shift in Janice’s attitude left Sasha stunned. What on earth happened?
Sasha recalled her phone call with Sabrina this morning. “Are you talking about Stephen?” she asked to confirm her suspicions.
“Yes, Old Mr. Jadeson brought him to the White House. Sebastian has also tagged along. Right now, Jasmine and the Woods are at the Oceanic Estate. It’s a mess there.” Janice nodded; her face was painted with worry and sorrow.
Sasha’s mind went completely blank.
When she snapped out of her daze, she realized that she was the only one in the room earlier.
Sebastian was brought to the White House? Why did they drag him there? Sebastian’s a patient. His mental health is hardly stable. Why did Jonathan bring him there? Has that old man gone absolutely mad?
The blood drained from her face when Sasha realized that Sebastian was at the White House.
Without further delay, she changed her clothes and followed Janice down the mountain. Already, she noticed that the sun was setting. The darkening sky made her feel guilty. Why didn’t I ask Jonathan about it this morning? I should have taken action the moment Sabrina called me.
I could have stopped him if I found out about his plans sooner. F*ck! How could I be so careless? I forgot about everything the moment I saw his body…
