Sebastian was actually really surprised that he would catch Sasha with the bait he laid out for Kelly.
He had thought that Kelly and Xandra were plotting something big behind the scenes to go against the
Hayes Corporation. But instead, his trap only netted him a dummy.
âMr. Hayes, Kelly Green spilled everything. The books and the letters from Xandra were all from an
anonymous sender. These are the documents from back then. Please take a look.â
Luke saw that Sebastian finally had some time, so he quickly handed the USB drive he got from
questioning Kelly, along with some books.
Sebastian took a glimpse and picked one up.
âThe Tattoo?â
âYes. You actually helped contact some publishers for Xandra to publish this book. Sadly, itâs not her
original work.â
Luke recalled what happened that year and could not help himself from feeling disgusted.
He could not imagine what was going on in Xandraâs mind when she did all that. It was clearly
someone elseâs work, but she acted like it was hers. There was not a hint of guilt in her.
She enjoyed all the benefits that came with the publication of that book like she deserved it. She even
prided herself for it.
Sebastianâs face turned cold as he took the book and flipped through it, finding his shadow in it with
ease.
That was the first time Moon saw Ricky. The ten-year-old was running around in the yard with his
teacher chasing after him. He was unwilling to do his schoolwork and covered in sweat. That said, he
had exquisite features and a rebellious smile as beautiful as the morning sun.
That was a paragraph from the book that described the main male character.
And Sebastian remembered it like it was yesterday. It was the same scenario where he first met Sasha.
Back then, she said he was handsome. But he only thought of her as a dumb girl that annoyed
everyone.
Sebastian continued reading. Sasha was young, but she had talent. Her words painted a clear picture
of the story she wanted to tell, but there was a sense of sorrow between every line.
Especially when the female main character found out about the boyâs secret.
Moon got home, and her mother asked about how she did in the test. Moon did not reply. She did not
want to dampen her parentsâ expectations. Her test results indicated she was well suited for studying
finance, but she did not want to walk that path. Moon wanted to become a doctor, especially one that
specialized in psychology.
Sebastian suddenly stopped reading.
He felt uncomfortable. It was like something was clogging up inside his chest.
âMr. Hayes, are you okay?â
âIâm okay. Are there anything else?â Sebastian tried to hide it and took a sip of his coffee.
So, Luke took out some more documents.
âEven though Kelly fessed up, there was zero information about the anonymous sender. They tried to
contact her, but the email address has been deactivated.â
âDeactivated?â Sebastian sneered.
âSo, it was all planned out. Get some hackers to look into it.â
Luke nodded. âAlready on it. But Mr. Hayes, these books, did Madam write all of them?â
Luke could not stop himself from asking.
It was too much for him to handle. The notion of the presidentâs fiancée of five years being a fraud and
that his ex-wife was the real author almost blew his mind away.
Luke was rather excited. He decided that, when Sasha woke up, he would try and get her signature. He
heard that the author of those books was regarded very highly in the literature circle.
âDo you have a lot of time on your hand? I donât mind paying you triple for the overtime.â
âHuh? Oh! Oh no! I have tons of work. My mother is still waiting for me to clean up the house. Iâll take
my leave, Mr. Hayesâ Luke immediately turned around and left.
He passed the kids downstairs as he left in a hurry.
The kids all looked at each other, confused at what was going on.
âDid Daddy scold Uncle Scott again?â Vivian asked.
âI think so,â said Matteo. âHeâs a little stupid. Why would he come here when he knows Daddy just
brought Mommy back.â
âTrue!â Ian, who usually did not talk, also agreed with his brotherâs opinion.
After that, the kids wanted to give their parents some alone time, so they called the Hayes residence.
âGrandpa, itâs me, Matt. Did you miss us?â
âWhat do you think, you little brat?â
Frederick was excited as he rarely got phone calls from his grandchildren.
Hearing that, Matteo looked at his brother and sister and smiled. âCome pick us up then. Weâve
decided to stay at your place for a night.â
âReally?â Frederick was ecstatic, standing up straight away. âAlright, Iâll send someone over to pick the
three of you up.â
With that, he ended the call and immediately arranged for a driver.
Frederick had always treated his kin exceptionally well, whether they were his son, Sebastian, or his
grandchildren, he treasured them all the same.
