Sasha only got the news the next morning, and she was dumbfounded.
âItâs so sudden? Since when did Jonathan think of your welfare? Itâs unbelievable.â
Sabrina frowned. âI donât know either. But isnât this a good thing?â
âOf course, it is. I was just taken aback by this because itâs too sudden. He tried everything to break
you and Devin up, but heâs suddenly being this nice. Arenât you surprised?â
Sasha chuckled.
Sabrina glared at her.
However, she had to admit that she was surprised last night. She was even delighted.
After confirming that they were heading to Jetroina, Sasha stopped worrying and prepared to return to
Avenport.
âSure, you may leave with them. Just remember to let your kids call me more often once you get back
there.â Jonathan didnât force her to stay either.
Sasha was packing her stuff when Janice entered her room. âSasha, canât you extend your stay for
another two more days? I need you to help look at the accounts for The Ataraxy. Theyâve started some
businesses lately.â
âReally?â
Janice nodded and showed her the ledger. âYes. I guess they had enough of your rule. They couldnât
live with a reduced monthly allowance of a hundred thousand, so theyâve started other ways to bring in
money.â
âWhat are they up to?â
Sasha was glad these parasites were forced to find other ways to make more money because of her.
She flipped open the ledger.
Jade Court, Charlesâ residence, was on the first page, and it was about Jocelyn. There was nothing
unusual about it. The Elk Court was on the second page, which was Connorâs residence. His wife,
Shirley, had opened a hotel.
âA hotel? Is she capable of managing one?â
âI heard her brother is a chef. She borrowed half a million from me as startup capital. I still have the
receipt.â
Janice then took out the receipt that was proof of her loan to Shirley.
Sasha took a glance at it.
She wouldnât mind spending this money to start up a business. However, she was concerned if there
was a return. Can it bring profit?
Sasha continued flipping through the ledger.
The hotelâs business had been booming for the past six months. Not only did Shirley return the money
she borrowed from Janice, but she also stopped getting the monthly allowance.
I guess Shirley does have some talent in this.
Sasha smiled. âI think Shirley is the one with actual talent in The Ataraxy.â
Janice nodded. âI agree. There ainât anything interesting in the other two families. Shirley wants to
expand her business, and sheâs asking for more.â
âHow much?â
âTwo million.â Janice raised two fingers carefully.
Two million?
Sasha raised her eyebrows. âThereâs no need for a loan. Give her the money and tell her Oceanic
Estate is investing in her hotel. In return, she has to share her profit with Oceanic Estate.â
âWhat?â Janice was shocked.
She had never thought of this possibility.
Isnât this unethical? How could we force her to share her profits with us? Arenât we taking advantage of
her business if we do this?
Coming from a noble family, Janice was rendered speechless by Sashaâs suggestion.
However, it was normal practice in the business world. There was no such thing as a free meal. Why
would one lend out money to help a business grow without expecting a result? It was no charity work.
Jocelyn was pissed to hear this when she was helping out in the hotel.
âHow did that idiot suddenly get so smart? She didnât even think of this when she loaned half a million
to us last time.â
âI heard Sashaâs back,â someone reminded.
All of a sudden, a deathly stillness came over the hotel. Everyone was pissed and terrified, but no one
dared to say a thing.
They were all afraid of Sashaâs presence as she was the one who caused The Ataraxy to sink this low.
âShirley, whatâs your plan?â
Jocelyn stared at her sister-in-law.
Shirley remained silent for more than a minute before saying with a neutral expression, âThereâs no
such thing as a free lunch. We were lucky with Janice, and now that Sasha is back, we shouldnât think
that we can still take advantage of them.â
âBut-â
âThatâs enough. Letâs return to our work. Now that our hotel is doing well, you will still get what you
earn,â said Shirley with a stern expression before walking away.
Everyone in the hotel was left dumbfounded even after a long while.
