Chapter 960

Even though the whole situation was a complete mess, and he was not sure what had happened, he

still managed to notice that something was amiss.

Shanae's expression froze when she heard what he said.

“Devin, a-are you saying that I'm lying? J-Just look at the bed if you don't believe me,” she said as

she pointed at the bed.

Her eyes were brimmed with tears as though she was humiliated by Devin’s words.

Devin was stunned.

He quickly lifted the covers, and the blood drained off his face when he saw what was under it.

“Do you see it now? You listen to me, Devin Jadeson. I'm no slut. I'm a Woods, and the Woodses live

with integrity. That's our rule. I'll never joke around with my reputation!”

She sounded sincere, especially when she swore on the Woodses.

Jonathan's expression turned grim once again when he heard her words.

“Don’t worry. If this brat has really done something to you, the Jadesons—"

“Ms. Woods, I had no idea that the Woodses had something like that. Then, why did I hear that you

went around flirting with other men as the Jadesons' fiancée?”

Just when Jonathan was about to give his word on behalf of the Jadesons, Sebastian who had been

keeping to himself stepped in.

He stood by the door with his hands in the pockets of his casual, dark-colored pants. Like a

bystander, he seemed unbothered.

Yet, there was tension in the air as soon as he spoke.

It even felt as though the temperature in the room had dropped.

Shanae blanched as she argued, “Y-You're lying. Those are just a bunch of nasty rumors. Where did

you even hear it from?”

Sebastian stared at her coldly, and with his overwhelming presence, he said, “My wife.”

His wife? As in... Sasha Wand?

Shanae’s heart did a somersault. She was bereft of speech.

Jonathan finally sensed that something was off. He quickly came over and said, “Sebastian, what's

going on?”

Sebastian withdrew his gaze and answered, “Nothing. Let's just verify the whole thing first. Devin's a

soldier, so someone must have done something to knock him out. Plus, there are so many women

in this hotel. Yet, what a coincidence that she was the one to get caught in this.”

He shot Shanae a glance as he said the last sentence.

Shanae felt a shiver down her spine, and her legs almost gave way.

What a terrifying gaze. How can I forget that the Jadesons have gotten themselves a terrifying new

member?

Shanae was starting to regret getting herself involved in this.

In the end, Devin was taken away from the hotel room.

Jonathan ordered his men to look into the incident, and he had them bring Shanae back as well. All

that was left was to wait for the outcome.

"Mark, what do you think Old Mr. Jadeson would do if they found out that Mr. Devin did, in fact,

slept with Ms. Woods?"

"What else? Of course, he'll get the two of them to get married.” Mark who was left behind to follow

up on the incident answered without much thought.

In fact, that was what Jonathan had in mind as well.

After all, Shanae was the candidate he had picked out for Devin for a marriage of convenience from

the very beginning.

If they had indeed slept with each other, then getting married was the only option.

“But how about Ms. Hayes? If Mr. Devin got married, what about Ms. Hayes?" the bodyguard could

not help but ask as he recalled how Devin and Sabrina seemed so close to each other just a while

back.

Mark furrowed his brows.

Sabrina? How did that woman come into the picture?

He seemed a little annoyed as he replied, “Don't bring up this person anymore. No matter who Mr.

Devin marries, it'll never be her.”

“Huh? W-Why?”

"Are you dumb? She's from the Hayes family and Mr. Devin’s parents died because of Mr. Jadeson.

You're asking him to marry his sister? Are you trying to make his parents crawl out from their

graves?”

Surprisingly, his answer was the same as what Sabrina heard from the person who transferred the

funds to her last night.

With a loud thud, Sabrina fell backward and hit the wall behind her.

She did not want to admit it, but she was slapped in the face by the harsh reality. Even though she

had thought of such a possibility from the very beginning, she could still feel her heart bleed when

she heard those words.

At that instance, she felt as though she was surrounded by darkness.

She had no idea how she left the hotel. By the time she snapped back to her senses, she had already

gotten into her car with her phone by her ear.
