Yancy appeared to be rather bristled.
“What the heck do you know? I did it all for the sake of vengeance, and besides, didn’t my son already repay you for everything that your mother had done? When you were forced out by the Hayes and cast adrift overseas, wasn’t my son the one who has been constantly helping you?”
“You…”
“Enough of this. I’m done talking. Now that you found out about me, you can forget about going back.”
With a wave of her hand, the woman motioned for the few attending bodyguards to have Sasha pulled onto her feet and taken away.
Upon sensing her intentions, Sasha started to put up a desperate struggle. “You won’t get away with this, Yancy. You killed Frederick and deceived your best friend into raising your son for you. Sebastian will surely seek you out to avenge his father, and nothing good shall befall you!”
The woman’s lips pursed tightly before she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her.
Sasha, who was being dragged along, felt her own face arched to one side with a resounding smite.
“Nothing good shall befall me? What have I done wrong to be deserving of such a fate? At twenty, I became pregnant with the child of a man who would rather abort his own child in order to safeguard one who wasn’t of his own blood. What wrong was I guilty of then?”
All inside the yard, including Sasha, fell dead silent.
What did she mean by that?
Safeguarding one who wasn’t of his own blood?
“Listen here, Sasha Wand. I’ve already cut him enough slack, and all I want is Hayes Corporation. If I were to tell the world about his inglorious past, would you believe that it’ll completely destroy the Sebastian Hayes you’ve come to know?”
The woman loomed over Sasha with savagery and hatred in her eyes akin to that of a viper capable of ending her at any time.
Sasha was motionless, and as though struck by something from above, she was suddenly devoured by a boundless terror and darkness which made her scream.
No. It can’t be…
Elsewhere.
Sebastian brought a delirious Sabrina back to the Wand residence.
It was uncertain what exactly she was put through, but she was both anxious and fearful. She would scream hysterically whenever anyone else came near.
To think that this used to be the insufferable young lady of the Hayes family.
“There are some wounds found on Ms. Sabrina’s body, Mr. Hayes, which the doctor has ascertained were produced by beating. As for her hysteria… it could have been induced by shock, coupled with the injection of some form of substance.”
