Today’s weather was fine, which was suitable for fishing under the sun.
Sebastian could not sleep the whole night after forcing Elliot to spill the beans about Myra’s identity. He tossed and turned on the bed, but he just could not fall asleep. He was making such a fuss that Lisa was complaining. In the end, she left him alone in bed and went to the study to sleep.
The next morning, Sebastian had dark circles around his eyes due to the lack of sleep.
In the morning, he lost his temper a few times in the Chase Residence. It started when he whined about the housekeeper’s cooking—he claimed that the breakfast she prepared was getting worse. “I expect a bowl of noodles, but there is no beef inside. The noodles are so dry that it’s unpalatable.” Next, he complained about the hot and stuffy garden, claiming that the air quality in Bradfort City was deteriorating. In the end, he pestered Lisa and complained about his foul mood while claiming that his grandchild would not even head home to visit him, etc.
Lisa threw in the towel and she told him to fish in an attempt to calm down.
Sebastian knew that she was sick of him, so he had no choice but to gather his fishing equipment in silence. Then, the chauffeur drove him to the club. Sebastian deliberately requested the chauffeur to take the longer route, so that they would pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau. He saw Myra walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with another man and she directly entered a black Maybach. I gave that car to Tony for his 34th birthday!
He felt that he had been kept out of the loop, so he was rather upset when he told the chauffeur to leave the place.
“The girl must have something brewing. She seduced my grandson, which is why he is so obsessed with a divorced woman like her!” Sebastian was blinded by fury at that point.
Upon arriving at the club, he went straight to the lakeside. Then, he bent down to prepare for his fishing, as if he was ready to be serious about it today.
Not too far away, Sasha was accompanying Old Master Hay to the club and she caught sight of Sebastian once he arrived. Her eyes shone brightly when she saw him.
She was aware that Sebastian was fond of her. This is such a great opportunity! How could I possibly let it slip past me?
After weighing her options, she whispered her plans to Old Master Hay. After that, he narrowed his eyes while nodding in agreement and he straightened his back. He made his way to Sebastian while wearing a warm and kind expression.
At that moment, Sebastian had completed his warm-up exercises. He had just placed the bait on the hook and was about to toss the line into the water.
However, his skills were slightly rusty, most probably because he had not been fishing for a long time. Furthermore, his waist felt stiff, so the hook seemed stuck to him despite his attempt to cast the line for 2 to 3 times. The line just could not be cast; his mood worsened since he had a short temper.
“Let me help you, Old Master Hart.” A gentle and sweet voice interrupted him.
Sasha quickened her pace in the last few steps and she tried to take the fishing rod away from Sebastian. Nevertheless, the fishing rod suddenly shifted and she missed it.
He wore a blank expression when he asked her, “Who are you?”
His tone was harsh because he was upset about Myra.
Sasha’s hands were held up mid-air and she awkwardly pulled back while tucking strands of stray hair behind her ear. She appeared especially fresh-faced and polite. “Old Master Hart, I am Sasha Hay.”
“I don’t know you.” Sebastian coolly turned away. This time, he directly cast the fishing line while ignoring Sasha.
Her face blushed furiously at the sudden turn of events. After a long time, she explained in embarrassment, “Have you forgotten? My grandfather has chatted with you before. I am the person in charge from the Hay Group to compete for the Hart Group’s Sunny Bay Project…”
Sebastian immediately turned to squint at the woman, who was standing in front of him, and he commented, “Oh, I remember you…”
Sasha let out a sigh of relief, but in the next second, her body stiffened again.
“I heard that three companies were contenders whereas two companies were involved in plagiarism. Your company is rather dishonest.” He turned to her while keeping his eyes closed. He seemed cold and distant, as if he was determined to ignore her.
Nevertheless, he was feeling especially furious at that moment because he suddenly thought of something. My grandson has obviously prepared the project for the girl! The couple is so bold to be involved with each other when she’s still married! If this had happened during my time, they’d be criticized and denounced! He straightened his back, but he had overdone it and he seemed especially stiff.
Sasha tightened her fists at her sides while trying to stay patient because she did not want to reveal her true emotions on her face. She wore an expression of grievance on her face while speaking to Sebastian tentatively, “Old Master Hart, do you know… Miss Stark?”
At the mention of ‘Miss Stark’, Sebastian vividly recalled Myra’s delighted expression when she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau earlier this morning. He then snorted loudly in disdain.
Sasha knew that it was her chance, so she looked especially sorry for herself. “Old Master Hart, don’t you find it strange? The Hart Group selected only three companies as contenders and two of them were involved in plagiarism. Besides, I wonder whether you are aware about the entire incident between the Hay and Chase Groups, Old Master Hart…” She sounded hesitant when she said that, as if she was sharing an unspeakable secret.
Sebastian acted as if he was not bothered, but she noticed his body language. He instinctively turned toward her when she brought that up.
Sasha laughed mirthlessly in her heart when she saw that.
I received news last night that Myra has been jailed for committing a crime. It has crossed my mind—why would a man like Tony Hart fall for Myra? The only plausible reason is that he is toying with her for a few days after she seduced him. When Lyla returns in the future, Myra would no doubt suffer! Previously, after I informed Lyla about Myra seducing Tony, she even managed to chase her out of the Chase Group! After learning that Myra has been thrown behind bars last night, I was so happy that I slept soundly.
The next morning, she accompanied Old Master Hay to the club, but she was oblivious to what happened in the morning. She was not aware that Myra had also divorced Sean since she was focused on discreetly clearing the Hay Group’s reputation while leaving Sebastian with a good impression of her.
Sasha’s expression relaxed when she saw Sebastian’s reaction. “To be honest, in the beginning, it was revealed that Miss Stark plagiarized the design draft from the Hay Group. However, after that…” She looked especially hesitant at that point, as if she was reluctant to continue with the story.
He merely moved sideways, but he did not persistently question her, as she had expected.
She hissed through gritted teeth, “Old Master Hart, do you know about the incident last night where Miss Stark was thrown into jail after she committed a crime?”
“What? Was she thrown into jail last night?!” This time, Sebastian’s eyes shot wide open. In fact, he was so obstreperous that he scared all the fishes in the lake. He immediately abandoned his plans to fish and stood up. After that, he faced Sasha, who was about his height since she was wearing high heels, in annoyance. “You have been babbling for such a long time. Why can’t you get straight to the point?! Why was she thrown into jail?”
Sasha bit her lip when he shouted at her. “I heard that this isn’t her first time committing a crime.”
“Girl… Oh, girl! You need to stop talking.” Sebastian hated it when the younger generation beat around the bush, especially when they had something else in mind. He raised his hand to stop Sasha from speaking. He then started to pick up the bucket and fishing rod.
