Fortunately for Sabrina, she had decent reflex and could move out of the way. Otherwise, there wouldâve
been blood all over the floor she was standing on.
âHave you forgotten why youâre still standing here right now, Sabrina?â Sebastian shouted, coldly and
angrily.
Those words were like salt on her wound, and Sabrina exploded with rage upon hearing them. âWhat
do you mean by that, huh? How dare you bring that up now?â
She saw her banishment back then as the greatest humiliation of all time, but Sebastian couldnât care
less about her feelings as he took things up a notch with his response.
âWhy wouldnât I? Right now, I think that decision was the wisest one Iâve ever made in handling your
case! Had Sasha not been with you at the time, I wouldnât have let you return at all!â
âYouâ¦â
With her eyes bloodshot from rage, Sabrina ran up to his desk and grabbed the telephone with both
hands to smash his head.
Damn it, Iâve never felt this upset in my entire life! Weâre siblings, for goodnessâ sake! How could he do
such a cruel thing to me for some other woman? Can he even hear what heâs saying right now? I havenât
really spoken to him ever since my return because I was waiting for him to apologize, but that apology
never cameâ¦
Sabrina stopped herself when the telephone was inches away from her brotherâs head.
âWell? Go on, then! Hit me! Hit me, and Hayes Corporation will be yours!â Sebastian didnât even flinch in
the slightest.
Her hands were trembling like crazy, but she eventually smashed the telephone on the desk instead.
âYouâll regret this, Sebastian!â she spat those words out slowly.
Sebastian gave her a sarcastic nod in response. âYouâre right, I do regret it. I regret saving you back
then.â
Once again, she found herself staring at him speechlessly in disbelief.
What? Does he have any idea what he just said?
For someone who had been tough and arrogant her entire life, Sabrina found crying to be a sign of
weakness. And yet, she couldnât stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks as she said, âOkay⦠I
see⦠Very well, then⦠You remember what you said today, Sebastian! See if you wonât regret it in the
future!â
Sabrina then wiped the tears off her face and stormed out of the office, shocking Luke, who was on his
way in.
He stood there and stared at her as she left, feeling as if something was driving him insane deep down
inside.
âWhy did you go that far, Mr. Hayes? Sheâs your sister, not your wife.â
âWhat difference does it make?â Sebastian asked with an indifferent look on his face, much to Lukeâs
surprise.
However, the look of surprise faded when he realized the meaning behind those words.
Heâs right⦠Theyâre both family to him, so there really is no difference.
Sabrina was long gone by the time Sasha returned to Frontier Bay.
The kids told her their aunt had left angrily on her motorcycle after hearing about her incident, and that
she never came back ever since.
âDid something happen to Grandpa, Mommy?â
Having felt uneasy throughout the day, the kids brushed the housemaid aside and ran straight for their
mother the moment they saw her.
Sasha stared at them before looking at the house that she had tidied up all by herself.
This place just feels cold and dead now.
âIâm a little tired, kids. Let me get some rest upstairs, okay?â
For the first time, she could not keep herself together in front of her kids.
Being the immature one of the three, Vivian pouted and was about to lunge at her, but Matteo and Ian
stopped her in time.
âOkay, Mommy! Rest well. We wonât disturb you.â
âYeah,â Ian added with a nod.
With that, Sasha went into her room upstairs and lay motionless on her bed.
