Soon, Sasha, who had headed out to acquire a bouquet of flowers, made her way back and strode in the direction of the kitchen.
Wendy asked the moment she saw Sasha, “Why have you bought this bouquet of flowers, Mrs. Hayes?”
Sasha was confused by the question and ended up stammering in return, “H-Huh? The owner of the shop had gotten me this when I told him I need it to pay tribute to a senior of the family.”
“Oh! I guess it’s not much of a surprise even if you’re not aware of the customs and traditions of the family!”
Wendy thought it was the right thing to do since only those from the upper echelon would go to great lengths to honor the predecessors of the family.
More often than not, it takes more than a bouquet of flowers just to pay tribute to the Hayes who’s no longer around. Well, I guess it’s not her fault since she has acquired the aid of others to get it ready.
Sasha made her way upstairs after washing her hands since Wendy offered to get the rest of things sorted out on her behalf.
She greeted her husband as soon as she reached upstairs. Her tone could easily intrigue a man. “Darling, where are you? I’m home!”
Meanwhile, Sebastian was in the middle of a conversation with Solomon on the phone. Solomon got in touch with Sebastian immediately after he found out Sasha had returned.
“I have honored my promise. Isn’t it about time for you to honor your promise as well?” Solomon asked.
“What? Are you afraid I’m going to break my promise? I’ll hand it over to you as soon as everything’s ready!”
Sebastian had no intention to waste his time with the arrogant man anymore when he heard Sasha’s voice. He merely wished to wrap up the conversation as soon as possible.
Solomon was on cloud nine. He asked, “When are you handing it over to me? I need it for the press conference to announce my ownership over Hayes Corporation!”
He needed that to convince others he was the legit successor of Hayes Corporation and had never once tried to acquire ownership over it through underhanded means.
Sebastian sneered and assured, “I’ll hand it over to you the moment you need it.”
Immediately after he finished his sentence, he hung up the call.
Coincidentally, Sasha, who was on her way into the bedroom, heard Sebastian’s announcement. She asked, “Have you made up your mind to hand over everything you’re supposed to inherit to him?”
Sebastian responded with a nod and answered, “To begin with, he’s the rightful successor.”
Sebastian was no longer angry after going through the incident. Although it might be Frederick’s intention to have Sebastian inherit his shares, Sebastian felt obliged to return them to Solomon.
After all, Solomon was Frederick’s biological son, whereas Sebastian felt indebted to Frederick for his bringing him up over the years.
