Sebastian chuckled in response. “Of course. Given how big Hayes Corporation is, this happens all the time.”
“Really? In that case… how did you solve it?”
“It’s simple. It’s no different from fishing. You have to first put some bait on the hook. Without a bait, the fish wouldn’t bite. Isn’t that the case?”
Sasha was dumbfounded.
She had never in her life heard such a blunt analogy before, let alone a tactic as brilliant as this.
Evidently, there was still a huge, wide gap between their capabilities.
Sasha sprang to her feet at once.
“Darling?”
“Sebby, I’m not going to the office today. I suddenly remember that I need to see Uncle Jackson about something. Anyway, I’m going off now.”
Rambling on in excitement, Sasha bent over to peck Sebastian on his cheeks before darting off.
Sebastian was speechless.
She seems to enjoy defending my assets.
After watching her silhouette disappear, he stroked his cheeks to feel the lingering sensation of her kiss.
“Karl!”
“Yes, Mr. Hayes.”
A burly figure entered quietly like a phantom.
Dusting his shirt with his hands, Sebastian’s expression was icy cold. “What’s the progress?”
“I have thrown the corpses at their front door. I believe they won’t bother Mrs. Hayes anymore.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Sebastian was satisfied with the conclusion.
Stroking his own face blissfully, he instructed, “Transfer ten billion to Andy’s account.”
What?
Jolted by what he heard, Karl lifted his gaze and starred at Sebastian in shock.
“Ten billion? Mr. Hayes, are you being serious? Why would you suddenly give Andy so much money? He…”
“Mrs. Hayes needs it. She is fighting for the assets on my behalf,” Sebastian gloated proudly, just like a child showing something off.
Karl almost burst a vessel.
Fighting for his assets?
He is giving out ten billion so that his wife can borrow it from someone else?
Damn! Wouldn’t it be easier if he fought for it himself?
