The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 890

Shanae was dumbstruck.

All the other guests gasped in shock when they listened to Devin's words.

Business mogul? What's that?

All the guests were just poor people with empty titles. Even those that came from the mostprominent families in Jadeborough would not easily throw their money around.

It was even more impossible to send other people to their graves.

Silence ensued.

At that moment, they felt completely humiliated. They could not believe that they were insultingSasha for wearing an outdated dress just now.

Their faces turned red in embarrassment.

Shanae felt humiliated as well.

While she was wearing a fake dress and insulting Sasha, she had no idea that the latter was actuallya true wealthy woman living in the upper-class society.

No wonder she could tell that my dress is fake.

"Forget about it. I believe Ms. Woods did not do that on purpose. She's still young, so she's notfamiliar with how society works. Ms. Woods, if you like Shadows, I'll gift you some of the designs.”Everyone was surprised by Sasha's generosity.

Not only did she not want Shanae’s apology, she even offered to gift the latter several of her ownbrand designs.

Sebastian's eyes twitched.

Yet, Shanae was so mad that she almost passed out.

She felt insulted once again. This woman's clearly humiliating me! She's trying to tell me that as theowner of Shadows, she can gift me the dresses since I can't afford them!

She had never been humiliated in such a manner.

Beside her, Richard's face turned ashen upon hearing that.

In the end, they could not bear to stay any longer. As everyone watched them, they left in uttershame.

Since they had left, all the guests were embarrassed to stay there. They started leaving one by oneafter replaceing some excuses.

In the end, only Stephen, his wife, and Janice were still there.

“Are you happy now? You've destroyed the party.”

Jonathan was unsatisfied after Sebastian ruined the party that he had painstakingly prepared.Sebastian's fingers clenched.

Seeing that he was about to burst in anger, Sasha quickly stopped him.

"Grandpa, we appreciate your thoughtfulness. However, I think it was necessary and appropriate todo that. Otherwise, they'll treat the Jadesons as uncivilized and cowardly people.”

"What did you say?”

Jonathan's face darkened. He did not expect Sasha to be so straightforward.

The latter smiled and explained, “A poor person who has to rely on marriage to connect to richfamilies isn't worthy of our respect. If he's talented, he wouldn't need to do that. Grandpa, haven'tyou heard that civilized people are prideful?”

Prideful?

Jonathan sat there in silence for some time.

In truth, he felt pathetic.

After several decades of serving the nation, he had become a successful person. However, he feltconflicted because he was an uneducated warrior.

He felt like an uncivilized man, whereas those educated people were somehow nobler in his eyes.That was why all those men still managed to take advantage of him over the years, even though hehad high status.

The Woods family was one of those people.

Therefore, Sasha thought it necessary to remind him of that fact.

Ten minutes later, Jonathan left the hall, looking completely defeated.

Since he left, everyone else knew that they should leave as well. After Devin and his parents left,Sasha was about to bring her children back to Oceanic Estate.

However, just as she grabbed their hands, she turned around and saw Sebastian sitting on the chair.He seemed to have no plan to leave as he stared at her blankly.

Sasha was speechless.

That stare looks terrifying.

She asked, “Darling, a-aren“t you going back?”

Sasha was still being careful. Although they had reunited with each other now, they were not thatclose yet, nothing like how they used to be.

Even though she called him “Darling,” she did not dare to get closer to him

"You seem to know that old man quite well.”

“Huh?” Sasha did not understand what he was implying.

“Were you like this in the past?”

“What?”

"You like to read others’ minds, and even set them up,” Sebastian uttered expressionlessly as he satstill.

Sasha was stunned.

Read others’ minds? Set them up? Why would he say that? Does he think that I'm that kind ofperson? Does everything I do appear so despicable to him?

Sasha's heart sank with that thought.
