Iâll admit it, I did deceive her. However, I only did it because I wanted to deter her from causing a ruckus.
Sashaâs face was ashen as she uttered, âI really didnât know that things would turn out like this. You canât
just pin the blame on me. Besides, I take no part in any of this in the first place.â
âAre you sure about that? Didnât you botch the last task that I gave to you?â
âYouâ¦â
âDonât get the wrong idea, Sasha. Iâm not mad at you or anything like that. I just wish to make a deal with
you. Help me revoke the lawsuit against Sinch Enterprise and Iâll help you to rescue Frieda from the
Jadesons. Itâs a fair deal, donât you think? In fact, I think Iâm the one whoâs losing out in this deal.â
You? Losing out?
Ha! Donât make me laugh. Thereâs no way a crafty woman like you would make a deal that puts you at a
disadvantage.
Iâm not going to fall for your tricks again. Just as Sasha was about to hang up the phone, Yancy added
on, âOf course, I wonât force you to accept the deal, Sasha. In any case, all your secrets will be exposed
once Frieda is in the Jadesonsâ hands. And when that happens, your precious lover wonât be breathing
for much longer.â
What a b*tch! How could she say such a thing!
Sasha was livid.
âYancy, Iâm disappointed at myself for believing your words just now. But I assure you, it wonât ever
happen again. Did you really think that Iâm jejune enough to keep falling into your traps? If you truly have
the ability to rescue Frieda from the Jadesons, You wouldâve already secured her. With Frieda in your
hands, itâll be way easier to convince me to accept your deal. You wouldnât have needed to go through
the trouble of calling me,â uttered Sasha in a sarcastic tone.
Upon hearing Sashaâs response, the smug look on Yancyâs face suddenly disappeared.
âSasha, youâ¦â
Before Yancy could say anything, Sasha cut her off, âNo matter what you say, I canât accept the deal.
Even if I do have the authority to revoke the lawsuit against Sinch Enterprise, I wonât do it. I guess you
just have to deal with it yourself.â
Sasha hung up the phone immediately after.
Brimming with anger, Yancy threw her phone onto the ground.
âThat little wench! How dare she rejects my offer!â
âMrs. Tsurkaâ¦â
The housekeeper walked up to Yancy to conciliate her. âTake a deep breath, Mrs. Tsurka. Letâs assess
the situation weâre in right now. So if the Jadesons find out that the mother and her child are still alive, we
wonât have any bargaining chips against them anymore.â
âYou think I donât know that? Why do you think I called Sasha?â
Yancyâs face looked menacing.
The housekeeper quickly nodded and replied, âI see. However, now that she has seen through our
scheme, we only have one option left. Tomorrow will be Mr. Solomonâs court appearance day. We must
prevent him from being sent to prison at all costs.â
With her teeth clenched, Yancy picked up her phone.
A while later, Sasha received a message from Yancy. âOkay, so hereâs the deal. I will unequivocally
provide you with the location of Frieda by tonight. In the meantime, you help me obtain the videotape of
Ken and Frederick signing the share transfer consent form. What do you say?â
Humph, this cunning old fox doesnât know when to give up huh?
Sasha ignored Yancyâs message.
Not long after, Yancy sent another message to Sasha. âI know you still have your doubts about me. Donât
worry, once Iâve found out Friedaâs location, Iâll contact you again. If I fail to provide you with her
coordinates, you donât need to give me the videotape.â
Yancy was getting rather desperate to gain Sashaâs trust.
Twiddling her thumbs, Sasha was lost in her thoughts.
After a while, she suddenly picked up her phone and gave out a call.
âHello? Is this the legal department? Iâm Ms. Wand.â
âHello, Ms. Wand. Itâs quite late already. Is there something urgent?â
âOh, no. I just wanted to ask, are you guys done preparing for tomorrowâs court appearance? I heard that
the defendant himself will be the one attending the court appearance.â
Sasha was very careful with her words as to avoid arousing suspicion.
âYes. Originally, the one that would be attending tomorrowâs court appearance was the defendantâs
lawyer. However, the defendant wants to represent himself instead,â the receptionist of the legal
department explained in detail.
âYeah. Thatâs because the defendant himself is an outstanding lawyer. Have you heard of him?â uttered
Sasha.
âYeah. Solomon is an august lawyer. That being said, weâll still be able to win against him in court as long
as we have sufficient evidence.â
