The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) -
Chapter 910
After returning to Oceanic Estate, Sasha told Jonathan that she had agreed to his request.
As expected, Jonathan was delighted to hear that. He then called Janice and Tony over to go to theirfirst stop, The Ataraxy, together with Sasha.
“Don’t worry, Sasha. Even though The Ataraxy is Mr. Jadeson's residence, he won't do anything toyou since Old Mr. Jadeson has given you permission to go there.” Janice tried to comfort Sasha afterseeing her nervous expression on the way.
Sasha gave her an embarrassed smile in response.
She did feel nervous, as Janice had perceived, but it was not because they were going to TheAtaraxy. Instead, she was worried that she might not do a good job since it was the first time shetook up such a role.
Shortly afterward, Sasha continued to skim through the ledgers in her hand after calming herselfdown.
She discovered that the ledgers had recorded the expenses of Jared and the extended family overthe years. However, there was a big difference in the amount between both sides.
"Why does Gossamer Creek have so little expenses?”
“We're running a few plantations and small businesses over there. So we don't need that muchmoney from Oceanic Estate,” Janice explained in a gentle voice.
The Jadesons are involved in plantations too?
Sasha was shocked by that revelation.
Compared to the Jadesons of Gossamer Creek, almost every other family had received tenfold moremoney from Oceanic Estate, especially Jade Court, Charles’ former residence, and Elk Court,Connor's former residence.
Why do they need so much money? From Sasha's professional perspective, the amount of moneythey received was sufficient to maintain a large company’s cash flow.
At that thought, Sasha closed the ledgers with force and stared intently at the approachingdestination with a grim look.
Around twenty minutes later, they arrived at a quadrangle that looked old outwardly but was worthbillions in reality. Sasha noticed a middle-aged woman standing at the entrance, waiting for them“Nice to meet you again, Tony.”
"Glad to meet you too. Where's Mr. Jadeson?” Tony asked the woman while getting out of the car. Itseemed like Tony was familiar with that woman.
While they were talking, Janice leaned closer to Sasha and whispered, “She's The Ataraxy'shousekeeper, Amelia Ramsay. She has been serving Mr. Jadeson for a couple of years already.”
Ah, I see. Sasha nodded in response.
Following the greetings, Amelia led the three of them into The Ataraxy.
As they walked into the quadrangle, Sasha discovered something intriguing. Instead of entertainingher, the primary guest, Amelia chatted with Tony while ignoring her.
Interesting.
“Tony and the others are here, Mr. Jadeson,” Amelia called out to Jared as soon as they entered.The marble floor and the traditional potted plants around the quadrangle added a sense ofnostalgia to the atmosphere.
Shortly afterward, Amelia left them in the courtyard and went into a room to notify Jared.
Seeing that, Tony explained to Sasha, “I hope you won't mind, Madam. Mr. Jadeson has a laxpersonality. He's probably still taking his nap.”
“It's fine.” Sasha demonstrated her magnanimity.
About ten minutes later, they could finally hear some sounds coming from the room Ameliaentered. A gray-haired man in a green robe walked out of the room after seconds.
Sure enough, that man was Jared.
“We apologize for disturbing you, Mr. Jadeson.”
"Oh, it's you, Tony. Come and have a seat.” Jared signaled Tony to sit at the stone table in thecourtyard after gesturing for Amelia to prepare coffee.
Tony then uttered, “Allow me to introduce your guest, Mr. Jadeson. She's our madam, Sasha Wand.Old Mr. Jadeson wanted her to come here to attend to this matter.”
With those words from Tony, Sasha noticed the owner of The Ataraxy, Jared, shifting his gazetoward her.
Madam? Jared did not conceal his change in attitude after hearing Tony's straightforwardintroduction. On the contrary, he stared at Sasha with a darkened expression.
“I know her. I've met her in Chartreuse Heritage Kitchen back then.”
“Wait. What?” Tony had no idea how to respond to Jared.
Upon seeing that, Sasha decided to speak up, “Great to see you again, Mr. Jadeson. I hope we'llhave a pleasant conversation today.”
Not only did Sasha skip the formalities with her words, but she also emphasized her purpose forcoming to The Ataraxy.
Janice could not help but gasp in astonishment when she heard what Sasha had said. I neverthought she was this astute and bold!
As one would expect, Jared's countenance darkened even more.
Nevertheless, he did not dare to disobey Jonathan's order and chose to suppress his anger, albeitreluctantly. “What do you want?"
"Old Mr. Jadeson wants me to come here and get to know the members living in this quadrangle.Have you informed them to come over, Mr. Jadeson?”
“Are you serious? The Ataraxy has many members living in it. How is it possible to call all of themover?” Ironically, it was not Jared who answered Sasha's question but Amelia, who was displeased.When she heard Amelia's words, Janice furrowed her eyebrows instantly.
Still, she did not have the nerve to make any comments, and the same could be said for Tony.
As for Sasha, she stared intently at Jared with a cold gaze after glancing at Amelia. “So a housemaidhas the right to interrupt conversations however she pleases in The Ataraxy, huh? Are there evenrules over here?”
