âIs that so?â
Sasha felt a bit more relieved after hearing the receptionistâs statement. âThen you must make sure to
protect the evidence that we have, especially the videotape. Tell the people at the forensic department to
take good care of it.â
The receptionist put on a smile before responding, âRest assured, Director. The videotape is in our
hands. Weâll make sure that we wonât lose it.â
Oh, so the video tape is being kept in the office.
No wonder that mendacious woman asked for my help. She mustâve had no idea where the videotape is.
Sasha hung up the phone and gave Andy, who was in Moranta, a call.
âMr. Rind, itâs been a while.â
âYeah. What have you been up to, Nancy? I thought you have forgotten about me after becoming the
presidentâs wife.â
Andy was both surprised and happy to hear Sashaâs voice.
Glad to see that sheâs moving up in the world.
Sasha replied, âHow could I? No matter how much Iâve changed, Iâm still Nancy. How could I ever forget
you? If it wasnât for your help back then, I wouldnât have become who I am today.â
âHee-heeâ¦â
Andy was flattered by Sashaâs words.
âMr. Rind, can you help me with something?â
âWhat is it?â
âIâd like you to help me assassinate a person. Just name a price, Iâll pay you right away. As long as you
make her disappear quietly, youâll be amply rewarded,â said Sasha, with a minatory look on her face.
I canât believe Iâm doing this, but I must.
Iâve endured long enough, I canât let this go on any more. This person deserves to be killed for what she
has done!
âOkay. Iâll get the best mercenary on the job.â
âAlright.â
Sasha nodded before sending a photo to Andy using her phone.
Having received the photo, Andy was reticent to say anything.
Sasha frowned and uttered, âWhat is it? You canât do it?â
âAre you kidding me, Nancy? I thought you wanted me to assassinate a wicked mafia boss or someone
of that caliber. Who knew your target was just a Jetroinianâs concubine. This should be a walk in the
park. Consider it done!â
After hearing Andyâs statement, Sasha let out a sigh of relief.
She then transferred a seven-digit figure worth of money into Andyâs bank account.

Meanwhile, at Hayes Corporation, Sebastian was gazing down on the plethora of city lights from the top
of the building. His face was vacuous and pale.
Itâs been five hours, and I still havenât heard anything about Frieda.
Whatâs this feeling in my heart right now? Every time I think about her, I start to feel like Iâm suffocating;
like my heart is going to burst out at any minute.
Am I really that worried about her? But I barely know Frieda.
Sheâs just a woman that appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be my mother.
I already have a wonderful family that consists of a father, a mother, as well as a sister. Iâll be just fine
even without her in my life.
At least thatâs what Iâve always thought, until todayâ¦
âSebby, do you want some candy?â
âSebby, youâre back! Iâve prepared some fruits for you. Are they to your liking?â
âHere, Sebby. Try this. Itâs very good.â
âSebbyâ¦â
With his eyes closed, Sebastian heard Friedaâs voice calling out to him.
She was always like this whenever I returned home. Giving me treats to cheer me up.
Even though I always glared at her with contempt, she would just give me a soothing smile in response.
Although sheâs mentally ill, she has always remembered me, her son.
Bang!
Sebastian punched the wall beside him with great force. His fists started bleeding after that.
âMr. Hayes, why are you hurting yourself?â uttered Luke, who just came in.
Seeing as Sebastianâs fist was bleeding, he quickly grabbed a roll of toilet paper and helped him treat the
wound.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was unperturbed by his injury.
He pulled his hand away from Luke and queried, âWhat have you found out? Whoâs the person behind
this?â
