She had been at the rope for a few hours. After she was sent back the previous time, she started to cut at the rope with the tiny needle clutched in her hand.
When she was tied up earlier on, she had secretly retrieved that needle.
Although it could not sever the ropes as cleanly as a blade, she could use it to slowly cut the strands apart, especially since she had no weapons with her.
Once the strands were cut, the rope would weaken and she could break free from it easily.
Holding her breath, Sasha continued her motions.
“Baylor White, you better pray that this scandal will die down peacefully. Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive!”
The person on the phone warned Baylor one last time before hanging up.
Baylor immediately smashed the phone onto the ground.
Sasha was so surprised that the needle slipped from her fingers and pierced into her wrist.
Inhaling sharply, she was in so much pain that sweat dotted her forehead.
When Baylor’s subordinate heard her gasp, he immediately shot a glance at her.
Within the blink of an eye, she regained her composure and sat there indifferently. Her hands, which were tied to the chair, remained motionless.
Eventually, the man averted his gaze from her and looked back at Baylor.
“Mr. White, is the call from your father? W-What did he say? We concealed this matter so well, so why would it suddenly be exposed onto the Internet?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
Baylor immediately raised his head and glared at him, his gaze as sharp and vicious as daggers.
The subordinate cowered, not daring to say anything else.
It was true that there was something fishy about this. Till now, no one knew about their relationship with Hubert.
Instead of contacting them personally, Hubert had always used an intermediary.
How did this matter get exposed? Even the microchip scandal was revealed too.
The subordinate was thinking about a particular suspect.
When Baylor averted his gaze, an answer had already emerged in his mind.
He knew very well how Hubert died, and who killed him.
Hence, he knew better than anyone else who the culprit was.
Sebastian Hayes!
Furious, Baylor gritted his teeth so forcefully that he almost crushed them.
“Mr. White?”
“We’re leaving this place immediately!” spat Baylor viciously after a while.
