Chapter 1561


    As time passed, Sasha became increasingly anxious. She wondered why Fleur and Chris were taking


    so long in the kitchen preparing deep-fried fish. Was Fleur dissatisfied with Lena and intentionally


    leaving her hanging?


    While these thoughts consumed Sasha, Zachary sent her multiple messages containing photos of Lena


    in the hidden room.


    Sasha: [I understand.]


    Sasha: [Please keep an eye on her. And refrain from sending me any more messages. I don’t want


    Chris to see them.]


    As she finished typing, her second phone rang—the one she used exclusively formunication with


    the Chrisses.


    Upon seeing the caller’s name on the screen, a trace of disgust briefly crossed Sasha’s face. She


    reluctantly answered the call. “What do you want?”


    “What do you mean, ‘what do you want’?” Elijah sounded impatient. “When will youe for the


    compatibility testing?”


    Sasha got up, avoiding the service staff in the living room, and moved to a corner while lowering her


    voice. “You’re asking me? My dear brother, it’s evident that your wife’s sincerity iscking.”


    “You…” Elijah paused and spoke more slowly. “N’s condition has worsened. Can’t you at leaste


    to see her?”


    “I have something to attend to right now.”

    “You want money, right?”


    Sasha remained silent.


    “I’ll give you money,” Elijah said coldly. “How much do you want? Just ensure you take care of my


    daughter!”


    “It’s not about money…”


    “I can agree to all your conditions!” Elijah emphasized. “Sasha, I also hope you’ll keep your promise!


    You said you’d save my daughter!”


    Sasha covered the phone’s speaker and looked around cautiously. She didn’t want to create a scene in


    the Hamertons’ home, so she reluctantly agreed.


    “I really can’te right now… Give me some time, and I’lle over soon,” she said.


    Just then, Fleur entered the living room with a smile, followed by Chris, carrying a te of deep-fried


    fish, which he ced on the dining table.


    “Lena!” Fleur warmly called. “Come and join us for a meal!”


    Sasha’s expression appeared somewhat unnatural.


    She forced a smile. “Apologies, I… I suddenly remembered some unfinished work I must attend to


    immediately…”


    “Oh, work?” Fleur raised an eyebrow and smiled. “No worries. It’s a shame to miss this meal.”


    “After I finish my work, I’ll definitely join you for dinner, alright?”


    “Of course!” Fleur held her hand. “Whatever you say! Chris can apany you.”


    However, Sasha immediately declined, “No need!”


    Chris’s eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists at his sides.


    “I mean… Chris should stay here with you,” Sasha stumbled over her words. “I have already been


    rather impolite and can’t bear to inconvenience you further.”


    After hastily saying her goodbyes, Sasha rushed out of the front door.


    Chris was about to chase after her, but Fleur stopped him and signaled to two trusted subordinates on


    either side.
