NovelBarThe reason Yancy sent Akiko to Hayes Corporation was not so much for gaining insider information
about the company. Rather, it was just to stoke Solomon to anger.
She wanted to make him her pawn again and undo all her past embarrassment.
Solomon was not the real reason why she was putting up a long fight. It was for herself—her own
revenge. She had to crush those people under her feet.
So this is her real motivation.
The housekeeper finally understood Yancy’s plan and manipulation. It set her off in trepidation.
Over on the other side, Sasha finally managed to have a breather in the afternoon.
She had completed most of her work and there was nothing much left to do, so she got ready to go
home.
She had been so occupied lately she did not manage to spend much time with her children. She did not
even get to visit her father after he was released from prison.
Sasha packed her things and made a call.
“Hey.”
“I’m sorry, Madam. Mr. Hayes is still not back yet.”
Luke knew who she was looking for, so he immediately told her everything.

Who is he meeting? A big client? I haven’t seen him the whole day.
Sasha did not spell her questions. She hung up and left alone. She swung by the market to get some
fruits before dropping by the Wand residence.
“Dad!”
“Sasha! What brings you here? You’re not working today?”
Rufus was elated when he saw his daughter. He ran out from the living room to welcome her with a
wide smile on his face.
Sasha walked in and put the fruits on the table.
“I’m not that busy today as most of the things are almost settled already. What have you been doing
these days? Where’s Lennie?”
Sasha was looking around for Lance, but she saw no sign of him. Instead, she saw two cups of drinks
on the table.
“Did someone come by?”
“Oh, Uncle Jackson came by in the afternoon. I asked him to stay back for lunch, but he said he didn’t
like my cooking, so he went back already.”
Sasha looked at her father as he spoke. Time had left its mark on Rufus and it broke Sasha’s heart to
see him aged.
Although he was already out of prison, Heather was already gone. Only Rufus and Lance were staying
in this house now. She could imagine how difficult things must have been for both of them.
Guilt budded in her heart.
“Dad, what about I move back in?”
“What nonsense. Why are you coming back? You’re already married, so you should just stay at the
Hayes Residence. Frederick is already gone, so Sebastian is the only pillar of the family now. You
should stay by his side to support him, instead of coming over to do household chores.”
Rufus was not amused when he heard Sasha’s proposal.
Sasha dropped the topic and proceeded to make dinner. The father and daughter chatted about each
of their lives and Rufus was curious about how Sebastian had been doing.
Sasha’s countenance fell the moment he mentioned Sebastian.
“Dad… Sebastian has no idea about his real family…”
“What?”
Rufus’ hand froze as he held the vegetables. “He doesn’t know about it? I thought he’s already found
his mom?”
“Yeah, but he still doesn’t know Frederick is not his dad.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you serious?”
“Yeah, Dad. Frederick did not tell him anything because he didn’t want Sebastian to go look for the
Jadesons. As for that family, I’m sure you know they can go to great lengths to preserve their honor.
Frieda was already pregnant back then, yet they refused to show any mercy on her. I don’t think they
will spare Sebastian if they found out about him.”
Sasha opened up to Rufus and told him her deepest fear.
Rufus kept quiet pondering on the matter.
“What you said is true. The Jadesons won’t let him off the hook. I saw it with my own eyes how Shin
went against his family. They even pointed guns at each other.”
Sasha was petrified upon hearing that.
What? They even pointed guns at each other? No way!
She felt a chill running down her body.
“We should keep this secret from Sebastian and the Jadesons. Do you hear me?”
“Alright.”
Rufus nodded solemnly.
With that, Sasha let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment, there were only three people who knew about this secret—Sasha, Rufus, and Yancy.
Yancy was the one who was difficult to deal with. Sasha would have to take deliberated actions.
Now that Rufus had promised to keep this secret, Sasha would need to deal with Devin next. He had
always been close to Sebastian, so she would need to take care of this ticking timebomb.
