Sasha made her way to the designated location early in the morning.
The city had been raining cats and dogs over the night. Thus, one would easily slip and fall should one
fail to keep an eye on their steps.
Sasha hailed a cab to a supermarket in the central region of the city and saw Akiko as soon as she
alighted from the cab.
Akiko stammered at the presence of Sasha, âM-Ms. Wandââ
Instead of losing her cool, Sasha glared at Akiko in the eyes and asked in a callous tone, âWhereâs the
thing I need?â
Akiko handed over the things she had brought along with her hands shivering against her will.
It was evident the antidote was inside the delicate-looking box. Sasha stretched her hands and
instructed, âHand it over to me!â
Akiko turned around with her eyes widened in horror. She started begging Sasha, âM-Ms. Wand, can you
please hand over the things you have brought to me?â
She was afraid of the things awaiting her should she fail to complete the assigned tasks. Horrified, her
legs started shivering again.
Sasha was well aware of the things Akiko had brought up. Instead of trying to make Akikoâs life
miserable, Sasha handed over the stack of letters to Akiko.
âIs Ken and Hanako your siblings?â
âY-Yes!â
Akiko retrieved the things Sasha brought along and completed the deal.
Similarly, Sasha heaved a long sigh of relief when she got her hands on the antidote she needed for her
father.
âIf thatâs the case, are you aware of the reason behind your siblingsâ demise?â
âH-Huh?â Akiko looked at Sasha in the eyes since Sasha brought up an unexpected topic of the blue
when they were in the middle of a trade.
Why is she asking the obvious when sheâs the one who has brought upon their demise?
Akiko wasnât as intimidated as she was anymore when she recalled the presence of her deceased
siblings. To be precise, her angst was written all over her face.
Sasha had been observing the changes in Akikoâs emotions. As a result, she chuckled and asked, âHas
Yancy told you we were the ones behind your siblingsâ demise?â
âAre you suggesting thatâs not the case?â
âOf course! She had sent your brother to take Mr. Hayes Sr. out! In other words, she was the one behind
your brotherâs demise! There was no way Channing could take him out if she wished to keep him safe!â
As the woman in front of her remained silent, Sasha added, âAlso, Hanako had brought upon her very
own demise by dancing to Yancyâs tune. She shouldnât have been my doppelganger when there was no
way she could deceive others.â
A few seconds of pause later, she explained, âI mean, even if she could deceive others and get others to
acknowledge her as Sasha, you donât think she could deceive Sebastian, do you? Xenia, who had tried
something similar, was sent to Yancy and beaten to a pulp in the end. You donât think Yancy is going to
forgive your sister, do you?â
Akikoâs face turned pale and haggard in a few seconds after figuring out the truth.
No! Iâm sure sheâs lying! Thereâs no way Mrs. Tsurka will lie to me when she has brought us up ever
since we were young! She would never put our lives at stake!
Akiko staggered in disbelief and returned to the side of the man hiding in the dark throughout the entire
session.
The man snatched the things Akiko had retrieved from Sasha and fled the scene without a second
thought instead of bringing Akiko away with him.
She rushed in the direction of the man and yelled, âNo, Koizumi! You canât leave me alone! Please bring
me away with you!â
Unfortunately, her effort was to no avail as she fell due to the slippery floor.
The helpless foreigner started wailing in the middle of nowhere, âN-No! You canât leave me alone! Iâm
making my way back to Jetroina as well!â
It was then she found out they were merely pawns of the vicious woman as Sasha had told her a few
minutes ago.
Staring dead ahead, the weeping Akiko muttered to herself with a determined look, âYancy, Iâll definitely
avenge my siblings and get the better of you!â
On the other hand, Sasha returned to the hospital as soon as she got her hands on the antidote.
Jackson and Sharon had long made their way to the hospital. They asked the moment they saw Sasha,
âSasha, whereâs the antidote?â
Sasha unlocked the box and retrieved the syringe with colorful solution.
She stopped getting her hopes high with Roxanne ever since she figured out Sebastian had spent a
night with Roxanne.
Sasha was utterly disgusted and couldnât bring herself to rely on Roxanne. Otherwise, she would get
reminded of the things she had to go through whenever she saw her father.
