In reality, Baylor had not expected that the whole thing would end up like that.
His initial thought was to use Sasha to provoke Sebastian, and he would take that chance to get rid of him. However, Sebastian was unmoved by the fake Sasha at all.
Because of that, Baylor’s plan could no longer work.
Not to mention how his urge to leave everything behind and go away with Sasha grew stronger after seeing her face when she was detained at Bridgewater Estate.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Sebastian.
Anyone who knew Sebastian knew that he was not a generous person. Everything would be fine as long as one did not mess with him. However, if one did, the only consequence of that was death.
Thus, Baylor had mistaken him for being indifferent when in truth, he had led himself to his own demise.
Back at the hall, Baylor stared at Sebastian with fury in his eyes. He had ordered his men to keep themselves hidden and kill Sebastian as soon as he was in front of Sasha.
At that moment, the air was filled with a strong sense of bloodlust.
Meanwhile, the crowd had been anxious ever since what Baylor did a moment ago. Thus, no one dared to even try and save Sasha, who was tied to a chair.
Sasha tried to hold in her tears.
With her mask off, she knew that all she had to do was to stay calm. Knowing how heartless Sebastian was, he would never step in to help her even though he was just right in front of her.
After all, she was just a stranger to him at that moment. A complete and total stranger.
Sasha drew a deep breath and suppressed the pain inside of her. She even managed to stop herself from having the urge to cry.
As expected, as soon as she recollected herself, a commotion was heard at the entrance. Then, a familiar figure appeared through the crowd.
“Oh my God, he’s so handsome!”
“He is! And so poised. Is he a celebrity?”
Sebastian’s appearance made quite a scene due to his flawless looks and overwhelming presence.
Even Sasha glanced over when she noticed the commotion.
She could feel her heart skip a beat when she saw that Sebastian had really come. As though her eyes had taken root on him, she could not move her gaze away from him at all.
At that instance, she recalled what Baylor said to her. He said that Sebastian was there to get her.
He even mentioned that Sebastian was not as unconcerned as he seemed. Instead, Sebastian had already seen through Baylor’s plans. Thus, he dealt Baylor the last blow before tracking the latter to the airport.
This was the man she loved.
Even though she would never have the chance to hear him call her Darling, or even see each other again, she still felt grateful.
