Abigail Tanner had been crying for a long time. When she calmed down, Sebastian Simons called Ethan Zordon in and told him with a gloomy face, "Send her back. Make sure she has a good rest. Let me know if she's not feeling well."
Sebastian then walked out of the room coldly. When he walked past Yasmine Taylor, she stretched out her hand and wanted to stop him, "Seb..."
However, he immediately walked past her as if he had not noticed her at all. It seemed like he didn't hear her calling him, but then, it also seemed like he had heard her but he just didn't want to say anything.
Yasmine stared at her hand which was hanging in mid- air. Before she could even feel sad, she immediately quickened her pace and followed after him. Needless to say, a thunderstorm was about to come.
Both of them were sitting in Sebastian's car but neither of them said a word. No one could handle knowing this shocking truth which came so abruptly. Sebastian was of course furious, while Yasmine was hurt in her heart.
If what Abigail said was true, then the real problem between her and Sebastian had finally emerged.
In the blink of an eye, the car arrived at the Mansion House. Normally, after Sebastian had gotten out of the car, he would immediately go over to open the door for Yasmine. But today, it was as if he had forgotten about her existence. He did not open the door for her, instead he rushed to the living room alone after getting out of the car.
Although Yasmine was a little disappointed, she could understand the anger that Sebastian was feeling right now. The current Sebastian must have felt like killing someone.
Yasmine followed him closely into the living room. At a glance, she saw her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa in the living room. As she looked at her, she felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't believe that such a kind old lady could be so evil.
"Hey, didn't you two go out for dinner? Why are you guys back so soon?"
Madam Simons asked them with a smile, not knowing what would happen next.
"Where's Dad?"
Sebastian asked coldly. Madam Simons was stunned at his attitude and replied, " He's in the study room. What happened?"
Instead of answering his mother, he went straight to the study room and opened the door with a bang. "Come out. I have something to ask you."
Sebastian rarely talked to his parents in such a harsh attitude. Except for the last time when he quarreled with his father. Otherwise, he never argued with them at ordinary times, let alone speak in such a rude tone.
Titus Simons came out of the office and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Sebastian ignored his father like how he did to his mother. He then walked up to his sister and said, "Tiffany, come with me."
Tiffany Simons was confused as well. She didn't know what her brother was planning to do, so she followed him upstairs. Sebastian took her to her study room and locked her door from the outside.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Tiffany knocked on the door in panic. "Brother, what are you doing? Why are you locking me up?"
"Just stay here for a while. I'll let you out when I'm done talking to them!"
Sebastian went downstairs in heavy steps. On the sofa downstairs, Titus and his wife were already sitting there, waiting for him. They could hear what was going on upstairs. Madam Simons asked first, "Why did you lock your sister up?"
Yasmine was very well aware of the situation, so she stood aside while silently feeling the sorrow in her heart.
"Because I don't want her to know how despicable her parents can be. I know she is so proud of her parents."
"How dare you! Who are you talking to?"
Titus stood up with a terrible look on his face.
"I'm talking to both of you!"
Sebastian roared, and the anger in his eyes began to burn.
"What happened? Why are you shouting at us like this?" Madam Simons asked angrily. She looked over to her daughter- in- law, hoping that she could answer their doubts, but Yasmine did not say anything at all.
It was not that she refused to say anything, but what could she say at this point?
"What did the both of you do to Abigail Tanner's parents? Tell me, three years ago, did the both of you destroy my relationship with Abigail?"
Sebastian tried to suppress the anger in his heart while he questioned them.
At that instant, Old Master Simons and Madam Simons' faces turned pale. This instant change on their faces had immediately proven the truth. Although it was cruel, it was still the truth.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Titus denied.
"Do you still want to pretend even at this point? Are you still trying to treat me like a fool? Do you really think you can cover the truth forever? Do you really think that no one knew that you killed people?"
