“Court?”
Yancy got furious when she heard that. “Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Sebastian would never give the original video to them!”
Jamie was stumped.
Her face had gone pale.
It was a drastic change in Yancy’s attitude. Earlier on, Yancy had been praising Jamie, and now, she was disgusted with her. She sounded disappointed with Jamie.
“You can’t even handle something as trivial as this. How can I count on you? When you were taking those photographs, you sure know how to send the ones that would agitate my son. Do you think that if you make him hate that woman, you can be his wife officially?”
Those cruel, mean words hit the nail on the head.
It was as if someone had given Jamie a tight slap across the face. She did not know what to say.
“Mrs. Tsurka, I-”
“Enough. That’s all, you useless girl.” With that, Yancy hung up the phone.
Jamie was stunned.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Sasha arrived at the Wand residence.
By the time she got back, the whole house was in complete chaos. Everyone had been dispatched to locate Frieda except for the three children who were waiting in the yard. They looked a little terrified and uneasy.
In fact, they did not even make a single sound.
“Matteo, Vivi, Little Ian, what are all of you doing here? Where’s Grandpa?”
Sasha was heartbroken seeing them like that. She ran over to them and got down on her knees.
“Mommy…”
When the frightened children saw their mom finally come home, they rushed over and hugged her.
All Sasha could do was to hold them tightly.
“It’s all right. I know. Don’t worry. We’ll find your grandma, okay?”
“Is it true, Mommy?”
“Mommy, I have something to tell you. It’s not Grandpa and Aunt Sabrina’s fault. When it happened, Grandpa was protecting me, and Aunt Sabrina was injured. They had no time to take care of Grandma. That’s why she was being taken away by the bad guys.”
Matteo was worried that Sasha might blame Rufus and Sabrina, so he explained the situation.
Ian was silent, but his expression was identical to that of his brother. Sasha believed that he must feel the same way too.
She felt upset and guilty at the same time. Sasha reached out to caress their faces and reassured them, “I understand. There’s nothing to worry about. We won’t blame them, and neither will Daddy.”
It was only then the children felt relieved.
After that, Sasha took the children inside and went to find out more about the situation.
