Chapter 622


    Sasha looked down and saw her two sons standing there staring at her with mischievous grins on their


    faces.


    Her face blushed momentster when she realized how she was dressed, and she quickly scrambled


    back inside the bedroom, mming the door shut behind her with a loud bang.


    When did those two get here? Wait… They said Sebastian wanted me to take them home, so… Does


    that mean he brought them here?


    Sasha calmed down slightly at the thought of that.


    Little did she know, the smiles on the kids’ faces vanished the moment she shut the bedroom door.

    “What do you think Daddy’s ying at this time? Why would he choose to sleep here instead ofing


    home to us? Also, I can’t believe he just got up and left even after Mommy came looking for him! How


    dare he call himself a man?” Matteo asked.


    Despite them being very smart, they were still too young to understand adult matters.


    Having been raised by Sebastian, Ian kept quiet as he already had a feeling this would happen.


    Even so, he was disappointed to the core when he saw Sebastian driving off without looking back earlier.


    “I’ll take care of this. You just make sure Mommy doesn’t find out.”


    Matteo pouted reluctantly but agreed to do as told anyway.


    Just like that, the three of them headed back hometer that afternoon.


    Suspecting nothing after hearing what the two of them said, Sasha began making dinner together with


    the housemaids upon arriving home.


    “Little Ian, could you ask Daddy when he’ll be home? Mommy’s about to make dinner!”


    “Okay!”


    Ian, who was ying with Vivian at the time, ran into the living room to give Sebastian a call.


    Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of Hayes Corporation, Sebastian nced at his phone that was


    vibrating on the desk before putting it on silent.


    Are you kidding me? He’s not even answering calls from his family now?


    Luke was surprised when he saw that, but kept his thoughts to himself and carried on talking about the


    case from yesterday.


    “The case is closed. Solomon has pleaded guilty, and Sinch Enterprise has returned the stocks it took


    from Hayes Corporation. However, he managed to get away scot-free by pinning all of the me on


    another vice president in thepany,” Luke said while cing the files on Sebastian’s desk.


    As Solomon was awyer himself, they had anticipated for him to easily find a loophole in the case and


    get away with his crimes.


    As such, Sebastian was not surprised in the slightest upon hearing the news and simply shot Luke a cold


    re in silence.


    Um… Is that my cue to leave now or what? Mr. Hayes seems to be in a really bad mood today, so I think


    it would be dangerous to stick around. I’d better leave…


    Right as Luke was about to turn around, Sebastian called out to him and said, “Didn’t they have us on


    the ropes at some point? Why would they suddenly plead guilty?”


    “Huh? How did you know that?” Luke asked out of surprise, only to quickly cover his mouth when he


    realized he had misspoken.


    Sebastian red daggers at him, and the atmosphere was so tense that it felt like he would skin Luke


    alive if he didn’te clean.


    Luke shuddered a little as he said, “M-Mr. Hayes… I didn’t mean to keep it a secret or anything! I just


    thought there was no need to worry you since we won anyway…”


    “Worry?” Sebastian chuckled coldly. “What do you mean by that? Come on, tell me.”


    Luke had broken out in a cold sweat at that point.


    He didn’t want to talk about it because it would lead to more conflicts between the two, but Sebastian


    had found out about it on his own.


    “We had a bit of an issue with our evidence. It’s the CD that we presented the court with. Solomon was


    somehow able to present an exact same copy, except theirs was a lot moreplete.”


    “Moreplete?”


    “Yes. Basically, it included the part that we edited out where he knelt in front of Frederick…”


    Luke’s voice grew softer and softer toward the end of his sentence.


    As expected, the tension in the office increased to a terrifying degree after that, and the sounds of their


    breathing were all they could hear in the deafening silence.


    “So, my master tape was taken away?”


    “Who took it? Was it her?” He spat those words forcefully out of his mouth.


    Oh, no!


    Luke quickly looked up and defended Sasha by exining, “S-Sir, I’m sure Mrs. Hayes had her reasons


    for doing that! I mean, Sinch Enterprise only pleaded guilty after she went there!”
