Sasha was against the idea due to personal reasons, but she couldn’t think of anything to rebuke the man because he was right.
In fact, his sole concern was their children’s development. Thus, his arrangements were the best for their children.
In the end, she acknowledged with a nod and said, “Sure, I’ll leave them in your care for the time being and return to spend some time with them in the future.”
As soon as she wrapped up the conversation, she hung up the call and thought that was the best out of the worst possible outcomes.
Sasha and Rufus boarded the next available flight, making their way to Clear from Avenport three days before the festive seasons.
Standing in front of the entrance of Royal Court One, Luke’s mind was all over the place due to the well-decorated villa for the upcoming joyous occasions.
“Mr. Hayes, I think Mrs. Hayes has finally departed.”
Sebastian, who was next to Luke, stared dead ahead of him when he heard his assistant.
Is Mr. Hayes looking at the plane? Has he lost his mind or something? I mean, it’s pretty obvious there’s no way he’s able to ensure she’s in the plane.
Luke felt heavy-hearted and stood next to Sebastian in silence for a long time.
Two days later, it was finally time for the fight to take place.
Yancy took the internet by storm as soon as she revealed her trump card—the letters she had retrieved with Sasha’s aid.
Seriously? The late director of Hayes Corporation was a playboy when he was young! I can’t believe he had tried to get his hands on a minor!
Oh, God! This is definitely the news of the day!
What is it about?
Within a few hours, the photos made it to the internet. The netizens expressed their disbelief and continued sharing the photos with their friends and families.
The topic became the talk of the town due to the convenience of communication enabled through the advancement of technologies.
By the time Luke heard of the scandal, it had topped the trending chart. The journalists had been bombarding the company with all sorts of follow-up questions.
She’s such a shameless b*tch!
Luke kept a copy of the photos and rushed his way to Sebastian’s office. He announced, “Mr. Hayes, those were the letters they had been writing one another back in the day.”
He showed Sebastian the photos, but Sebastian was relatively calm. In fact, he had been pretty calm ever since a few days ago when he was aware of the things awaiting him, including Eric’s plan to assert dominance over the corporate players in the city and the plan of those from Jetroina to take him out.
The confused Luke looked at the almighty president of Hayes Corporation. A few seconds later, Sebastian remarked, “It’s the papers doing the tricks. The initial content can be easily altered through a special method, leaving the altered content behind.”
Sebastian showed him the suspicious part of the letters and exposed Yancy’s dirty little tricks in front of Luke.
Luke started burning with rage and felt a strong urge to confront the vicious woman in person.
Seconds after he retrieved his phone, Sebastian stopped him and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Irked, Luke said, “I’ll go teach her a lesson and stop her from accusing your father! Otherwise, she’s going to tarnish the late Mr. Hayes Sr’s image! On top of that, it’s over for Hayes Corporation!”
Slouching against the chair, the calm and collected Sebastian asked nonchalantly, “Why are you in such a hurry when the best is about to begin?”
He had his eyes glued on the stack of documents on his table shortly after he finished his rhetorical questions.
Seriously? What are we waiting for when they have taken the fight to us?
As confused as Luke might be, he knew he needed to have faith in Sebastian. Thus, he stopped trying anything rash and continued observing the progress of the incidents.
Shortly after the photos made it to the internet, a famous influencer with millions of followers hopped on the bandwagon.
