The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 622

Sasha looked down and saw her two sons standing there staring at her with mischievous grins ontheir faces.

Her face blushed moments later when she realized how she was dressed, and she quickly scrambledback inside the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her with a loud bang.

When did those two get here? Wait... They said Sebastian wanted me to take them home, so... Doesthat mean he brought them here?

Sasha calmed down slightly at the thought of that.

Little did she know, the smiles on the kids’ faces vanished the moment she shut the bedroom door.“What do you think Daddy's playing at this time? Why would he choose to sleep here instead ofcoming home to us? Also, I can't believe he just got up and left even after Mommy came looking forhim! How dare he call himself a man?” Matteo asked.

Despite them being very smart, they were still too young to understand adult matters.

Having been raised by Sebastian, lan kept quiet as he already had a feeling this would happen.Even so, he was disappointed to the core when he saw Sebastian driving off without looking backearlier.

“I'll take care of this. You just make sure Mommy doesn’t replace out.”

Matteo pouted reluctantly but agreed to do as told anyway.

Just like that, the three of them headed back home later that afternoon.

Suspecting nothing after hearing what the two of them said, Sasha began making dinner togetherwith the housemaids upon arriving home.

“Little lan, could you ask Daddy when he'll be home? Mommy's about to make dinner!”

“Okay!”

lan, who was playing with Vivian at the time, ran into the living room to give Sebastian a call.Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of Hayes Corporation, Sebastian glanced at his phone that wasvibrating on the desk before putting it on silent.

Are you kidding me? He's not even answering calls from his family now?

Luke was surprised when he saw that, but kept his thoughts to himself and carried on talking aboutthe case from yesterday.

“The case is closed. Solomon has pleaded guilty, and Sinch Enterprise has returned the stocks ittook from Hayes Corporation. However, he managed to get away scot-free by pinning all of theblame on another vice president in the company,” Luke said while placing the files on Sebastian'sdesk.

As Solomon was a lawyer himself, they had anticipated for him to easily replace a loophole in the caseand get away with his crimes

As such, Sebastian was not surprised in the slightest upon hearing the news and simply shot Luke acold glare in silence.

Um... Is that my cue to leave now or what? Mr. Hayes seems to be in a really bad mood today, so Ithink it would be dangerous to stick around. I'd better leave...

Right as Luke was about to turn around, Sebastian called out to him and said, “Didn't they have uson the ropes at some point? Why would they suddenly plead guilty?”

"Huh? How did you know that?” Luke asked out of surprise, only to quickly cover his mouth whenhe realized he had misspoken.

Sebastian glared daggers at him, and the atmosphere was so tense that it felt like he would skinLuke alive if he didn't come clean.

Luke shuddered a little as he said, “M-Mr. Hayes... I didn't mean to keep it a secret or anything! Ijust thought there was no need to worry you since we won anyway...”

"Worry?" Sebastian chuckled coldly. “What do you mean by that? Come on, tell me.”

Luke had broken out in a cold sweat at that point.

He didn't want to talk about it because it would lead to more conflicts between the two, butSebastian had found out about it on his own.

“We had a bit of an issue with our evidence. It's the CD that we presented the court with. Solomonwas somehow able to present an exact same copy, except theirs was a lot more complete.”

“More complete?”

"Yes. Basically, it included the part that we edited out where he knelt in front of Frederick...”

Luke's voice grew softer and softer toward the end of his sentence.

As expected, the tension in the office increased to a terrifying degree after that, and the sounds oftheir breathing were all they could hear in the deafening silence.

"So, my master tape was taken away?”

"Who took it? Was it her?” He spat those words forcefully out of his mouth.

Oh, no!

Luke quickly looked up and defended Sasha by explaining, “S-Sir, I'm sure Mrs. Hayes had herreasons for doing that! I mean, Sinch Enterprise only pleaded guilty after she went there!”
