Chapter 306
He did not know what to do. Looking at the sick son in his arms, he felt a wave of anger and bitterness
grew in him.
That fury intensified when he saw the photo of a glowing Sasha next to a bespectacled man in a posh
city.
How could you be so cruel, Sasha?
Do you only think of the Wands and the ckwoods? What about us? What about your three flesh and
blood? Don’t we mean anything to you?
Sasha had a fruitful day. She was surprised Andy had asked her back to work after the humiliating
confrontation the day before. Moreover, he also handed her a lucrative deal that enabled her to earn
more than a million.
It was unbelievable, but she decided not to think too much about it. After all, she got themission in
hand.
“Tell me, Lennie, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you today.” Sasha happily asked Lance, who was just
behind her, as they walked out of Wall Street with themission safely in her ount.
It was a promise she made to him at the hotel the day before, but she had been too busy to fulfill it.
Lance politely rejected her offer. “It is not necessary. I don’t need anything. Keep the money for future
investment.”
Sasha was puzzled by his change in attitude.
He was ted when she agreed to reward him the day before, but now he declined her offer so
formally.
She felt awkward by his behavior since she preferred his earlier carefree and easy interaction.
She suspected Solomon had lectured him again, causing the change in his attitude.
That night, Sasha transferred the million to Jackson’s ount again.
Lance saw that but kept quiet and just headed back to his room for the night.
They went through the same routine over the next few days—working at Andy’s office in the day, and
transferring themissions they earned to Jackson in the night.
A weekter, she received a call from Jackson.
“What are you trying to do, Sasha? Why do you keep sending us money? Are you trying to make up to
us with money? Do you think this will make us forgive you?” he howled.
“No… no, Uncle Jackson. I… I can exin.” She was flustered by his usation and tried to exin
herself.
However, the infuriated man would not give her the chance to defend herself. “If you have the time, why
don’t you spend it on your kids? Fancy abandoning them and then trying to act like a saint to us. Do
you think we will appreciate this?” he added, before mming the phone on her.
For a long while, Sasha stood there in a daze as her eyes brimmed with tears. His harsh words echoed
in her ears.
My kids…
Like a volcano eruption, the suppressed feelings and longing she had for her children poured out
uncontrobly. With trembling hands, she made a call.
“Hello? Wendy? I’m Sasha.”
“Ms. Wand? Fancy receiving a call from you. It is about time.”
Sasha was taken aback by the hostile and sarcastic attitude from Wendy, who had always been on
good terms with her.
She took a while to rpose herself, then softly asked, “I’m sorry, but I was really busytely. How
are the kids?”
“Oh, you still care about them? I thought it would be out of sight, out of mind after you left.”
“No, no, that is not true. I am their mother. How could I not care about them?”
“What were you doing during this period, then? Where were you when Vivi was hospitalized? What
were you doing when Matt nearly died? Huh?” Wendy interrogated.

It pained her to see how the children had suffered. She also felt sorry for Sebastian, who was both
emotionally and physically drained.
Sasha was crestfallen.
Vivi was sick?
And Matt nearly died?
When did that happen? Why wasn’t she informed? What happened?
A dreaded wave of worry and fear threatened to bury her. Her hands were trembling so badly she could
not hold on to the phone, so she hung up.
Lance came into the room at that moment and shocked to see her in a state of panic. “What’s wrong,
Sha?”
“Oh, Lennie! I… I gotta make a trip back. Can you help to take care of business here? Tell Andy…
say… tell him I have to take a few days off to attend to some urgent matters.”
