The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242 Shocked To The Core

“Also, we have come in here as a married couple. If I really end up in the White House, don’t you want to be the person by my side?”

Sasha was sharp as always.

Despite her dire circumstances, she could still calmly pick out the inconsistencies of the plan.

In response, Kingston’s expression drastically changed.

However, he continued to speak frankly with her.

“We’re just putting an act for someone.”

“Who?” Sasha quipped at once.

But this time, Kingston didn’t reply. After scrutinizing his surroundings, he suddenly whispered, “If you want to escape, I can help you.”

Sasha was stunned.

She had not expected him to say something of that sort.

Is he letting me go? Did I hear wrongly? Doesn’t he know that I am being strapped with explosives? Isn’t he aware that he will be severely punished if I escape? In fact, he might even die for it.

The more she thought about it, the more skeptical she became.

It wasn’t just because of what he just said. She had also recalled that they were putting on an act for someone. Hence, she wondered who that someone was. Can it be someone who is attending the gala?

At the back of her mind, Sasha suspected that something was amiss.

Soon, the gala began.

Instead of giving Kingston an answer, Sasha went to take her seat.

When the host saw that everyone was seated, he began his welcome speech. “Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank all of you for coming today. I’m sure all of you are aware that this is the first time historical artifacts of the nation have been returned from overseas and of how momentous the occasion is.”

The purpose of the gala was to raise funds from wealthy socialites. After all, substantial financial expenditures were needed for the maintenance of the artifacts.

They required restoration, preservations, research, etc.

Therefore, the rich could elevate their status through such events while providing the organizers with much-needed funds. Hence, the gala was a win-win situation for all.

Sasha obviously understood the intricacies of such events, given that she used to be the wife of a company president. Hence, while the host was speaking, she fidgeted playfully with the small box she brought with her.

“Isn’t… this the Jasper Comb?”

Unexpectedly, someone beside her recognized the box she was fiddling with.

The Jasper Comb?

Sasha turned to the person.

“Do you recognize what this is?”

“I do. This belongs to the founding mother of the nation, Judith Silvester. It forms a pair with one of the artifacts that have been returned today. If you don’t believe me, you can compare it yourself.”

The man casually suggested Sasha verify what he said.
