Sebastian arrived at the parking lot. He got into the car and took a moment to calm himself before he pulled out his mobile phone.
“Hey, this is Sebastian. Previously, I asked you to do a background check on Sasha Wand. How’s that going?”
“Pardon?”
Luke, who was jolted awake from his sleep in the middle of the night, answered the call, “Oh, Ms. Wand? Yes, I’ve managed to find some information about her.”
“What have you found?”
“It’s about her expertise in finance, Mr. Hayes. After graduating high school, it wasn’t that she failed the entrance exam, but she gave up the opportunity to study. She received an admission letter from the most famous School of Economics in Moranta! They offered her a place as a school-sponsored student!”
Luke could barely contain his shock as he reported to Sebastian over the phone.
This was mind-blowing indeed. No one would have thought that the daughter of the Wand family, the one who had been mocked by Avenport for an entire year for allegedly being too stupid for school, so much so that she had to marry into the Hayes family through sheer brazenness in order to continue living the lavish life…
…turned out not to be the delinquent they thought she was.
On the contrary, she was actually quite remarkable!
School-sponsored student?
On the other end of the line, Sebastian was overwhelmed by the information he had just received.
“Is there a mistake? How could she be school-sponsored?”
“There’s no mistake, Mr. Hayes. I went to her high school and talked to her class teacher, who told me that herself. Apparently, we couldn’t find her school records anymore because she had completely written them off. Mr. Hayes, if you still find it hard to believe, I can head over to the School of Economics and look for the admission letter they sent to her all those years ago.”
Luke heard only silence on the other end.
There was no sound. At the moment, the man in the car had nothing to say.
Sebastian just sat there, hands on the phone, while his pair of dark, intimidating eyes stared blankly ahead. A whirlpool of emotions had come over him, bringing him down. It was absolutely terrifying.
There was no need to inspect further.
Because she had already proven her financial talents in front of him several times. That was precisely why he instructed Luke to investigate. Also, there was Raymond’s mountain villa case to consider.
Raymond’s family had almost gone bankrupt five years ago. They managed to rise from the ashes after working with that woman. That had been enough evidence for Sebastian to lay his doubts to rest.
Once again, a plethora of emotions welled up within Sebastian!
That wretched woman! Why on earth would she do this? Did she do all that just to marry him? Does she know how great the misfortune she has cast upon the Wand family by destroying her own future? If she had enrolled at the School of Economics back then, with her talents, she could absolutely revive the Wand family. Everything she’s done is preposterous!
Sebastian’s fingers holding onto the steering wheel turned pale. The new knowledge left him totally disoriented. It was all unacceptable to him.
From his perspective, only an idiot would do something like that.
Just like she was as a child!
