“Old Master Hart, did I say something wrong? If you don’t like it, please don’t mind—”
“Indeed, I do not like it.” Sebastian had a dark expression and he was no longer being polite to Sasha. It is true that I dislike the girl named Myra. However, I do not appreciate it when others start to badmouth the woman chosen by my grandson. Well, it’s just like family. It’s fine if I reprimand my family members, but others have no right to criticize them.
Sasha panicked since the situation was not progressing like how she expected. “Old Master Hart, do you know that Miss Stark is already married to my cousin? She is already married to Sean, but she went ahead to seduce to—”
“Who has she seduced? You claim that she is married, so why would she seduce other men?!” Sebastian interrupted without waiting for her to complete her sentence and he continued to glare at her.
Sasha was dumbfounded when he fiercely glared at her and she answered him automatically, “Director Hart…”
“Hmph!” Sebastian rolled his eyes at her ungraciously. Do I need her to tell me that Myra seduced my grandson? Numerous sarcastic comments ran through his mind, but he suddenly responded to Sasha in a grave tone. “Girl, to be honest, I feel that you are outstanding in many aspects, but there’s one thing that you’re lacking.”
Sasha asked hastily, “Old Master Hart, if you think that I’m not doing well in some aspect, I can improve it.”
“Well, it’s not easy to improve or change that particular aspect.” Sebastian openly stared at her chest, causing her to immediately blush. “O-Old Master H-Hart… I can do it…”
Sebastian frowned in confusion when he noticed Sasha blushing. “Why are you blushing? Shouldn’t you feel ashamed and guilty about this matter? You seem to be narrow-minded, so it’s best for you to broaden your horizon. Stop observing other women and men.”
With that, Sebastian picked up the empty bucket and fishing rod to leave. He barely took a couple steps when he came to a halt. “Also, stop accusing my grandson for no good reason. The two of them have just started going out today. After all, they both aren’t married, so why can’t they be involved with each other?!”
Then, he left the place in anger.
Sasha was astounded when she heard that. Judging by Old Master Hart’s reaction, he must be aware that Myra has been pestering Tony. In any case, why is he so protective of her since he has just learned that she has been thrown into jail and has committed countless crimes in the past? Furthermore, he mentioned that ‘they both aren’t married…’ She had a bad feeling all of a sudden. Sean couldn’t have… divorced Myra, could he?!
When Sebastian was walking over with his empty bucket, it happened that he saw Mark’s pail that was filled up with fish. Since Sebastian had hated Sasha, he projected his resentment on Mark as well. He was so angry that he sneakily stole a big fish from Old Master Hay’s bucket to place it in his own empty bucket.
I am alive long enough to know what the girl named Sasha is secretly planning.
Sasha was oblivious to Sebastian’s nature. It would be truly difficult to change his mind about someone he hated. However, if somebody he disliked accused another person, who happened to be associated with his grandson, he would take the third party’s side, no matter how much hatred there was. Furthermore, since Sebastian needed to side with the hated person, he would accept him or her gradually anyway.
That was the reason why he had conflicted feelings toward Myra—he hated her, but he just had to protect her.
He opened Messenger on his cell phone. In the end, out of the handful of Stories, a new Story stood out at the top with the caption, ‘The weather is wonderful today’.
The caption is describing a picture of Myra’s back view. Who else could it be?! In the end, Sebastian snorted in disdain as he rolled his eyes in annoyance. He glanced at the big, juicy fish in his bucket. Then, he walked back to his car while snickering along the way.
After posting on his Stories, many people started to send their regards to Tony. They were a bunch of smart people, who were aware of what happened today and last night. In fact, they started to have a heated discussion in the Group Chat—
Elliot: ‘Oh, my God! Tony, are you flaunting your loving relationship to the public? Tony, you are pure and affectionate. Should we block your Stories from now on to avoid any jealousy?’
Philip: ‘Congratulations, Tony! Congratulations, Mrs. Hart! When should we expect a wedding invitation?’
