He soon received a call from Xenhall, Jetroina.
âHey, Solomon! I hear Trevor intends to have his daughter marry you! This is a great opportunity, so you
should take it! Frederick has yet to fully hand over his power, so having the support of the Rocke familyâs
pharmaceutical company will reinforce your position!â
It was a womanâs voice, and all she did was order him around without even asking about his well-being.
Solomon narrowed his eyes, and the look on his face grew cold instantly.
âAnd what if I donât marry her?â
âWhy not? Are you trying to defy your mom? This is all for your own good, so you will do as I say!â
The woman on the phone got really angry and scolded him harshly.
Mom?
A sarcastic smile formed on Solomonâs lips as he said, âMy mom is dead! She died back when I was
eight!â
He then slammed his phone on the ground, much to the horror of his assistant watching from the side.
Instead of going to see Roxanne, Solomon left the office and went looking for the shareholder that had
been avoiding him.
He had only a few more to get rid of, and they were the most difficult ones of the bunch.
Most of the people in Hayes Corporation didnât respect him even after he rose to power as he was an
illegitimate child and had taken over the company through underhanded means.
That was the reason why he had been âexecutingâ a lot of people throughout that month, but most of
them held lowly positions in the company and only owned a small amount of the companyâs shares.
As such, the only way for Solomon to truly achieve dominance was to take out the major shareholders.
âMr. George, Peter lives in Lux Tower and has always wanted to acquire the building. Heâs willing to
transfer his shares over if we can fulfill this request of his,â his assistant reminded him over the phone
when Solomon arrived at the Lux Tower.
Solomon took a glance at the building from inside his car upon hearing that.
Hmm, it does indeed have great commercial value. The first four floors are comprised of a shopping mall
with lots of top-tier luxury brands within the city. The rent alone for this place should be enough to last
you a lifetime.
He then parked his car and was about to go look for Peter inside when he saw two familiar figures in one
of the menâs clothing stores.
âDo you like this?â
âYeah.â
A handsome and elegant-looking man was trying on some clothes in front of the mirror. Although the
outfits were plain and ordinary in design, he made them look surprisingly well when he put them on.
Solomon narrowed his eyes when he noticed that the manâs gaze wasnât focused on his outfit, but the
woman who was straightening his shirt collar for him.
She had a beautiful face, mesmerizing eyes, and a dazzling set of pearly whites. The look in her eyes
was so gentle and affectionate as she helped tidy up the manâs clothes.
Sebastian Hayes!
Pain and jealousy filled Solomonâs heart instantly, and he gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his
knuckles went white.
âHey, are you listening to me? Why arenât you saying anything?â
Sasha looked up at Sebastian and pouted when she didnât hear a response from him.
The next thing she knew, her lips were sealed by his.
Loud gasping noises could be heard within the store, and the salesgirls who had been eyeing Sebastian
the moment he came in held their hands to their mouths in shock and disappointment.
Damn it! Why are all the handsome men taken?
Sasha burned bright red when she regained her composure.
âWhat are you doing? There are so many people here!â
âWhat are you afraid of? Itâs not like weâre in some indecent relationship or anything. Youâre my wife,
remember?â
âNo, weâre divorced.â
âSince when? Iâm not aware.â
Unable to continue the conversation, Sasha quickly changed the topic.
âDo you like this shirt or not? We need to head back as soon as weâre done shopping. The kids are
waiting for us, you know?â
âYeah, sure. I like anything you buy for me, Darling,â Sebastian said with a shameless smile on his face.
Sasha didnât dare say another word and scurried off to make the payment at the counter.
Jackson had called Sasha earlier that morning and told her to get prepared as her dad would be
released from prison in two days. That was why they came out shopping for clothes before heading over
to Jacksonâs place.
Sasha had wanted to leave after completing the purchase, but Sebastian stopped in his tracks when they
passed by a restaurant serving Chanaean cuisine.
âShall we have lunch here?â he asked.
âHuh? Are you hungry?â
We should probably have lunch at Uncle Jacksonâs place instead. Knowing how hot-tempered he is, heâd
definitely scold me if he knew we were coming over but chose to have lunch outside instead!
As she couldnât bring herself to refuse his requests, Sasha kept those thoughts to herself and held his
hand as they entered the restaurant.
