Lilia kept thinking in her mind, why was Sasha looking annoyed like that?
What harm had she suffered? Not to mention, what did Sara do that she came back with a prideful smile on her face?
Did that woman threaten Sasha? It looked like this mystery would be swirling inside Lilia's mind for a while.
All she could do now was stare at Sara and Sasha's direction. Only time would tell what happened between the two of them this evening.
Seeing that his wife was staring blankly while eating, Jean couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh. He took a tissue and wiped the corner of his wife's mouth. He then said in a flat tone, "Don't worry, you will find out in a moment."
Hearing Jean's words, Lilia stopped eating the cake.
She placed the small plate on the table and leaned against her husband. Her hand moved to take the man's hand and asked casually, "How did you know that Sasha hadn't told her brother about this engagement? Does Sasha intend to hide this forever?"
The man lowered his head to look at his wife's beautiful face, his eyes flickered gently and when he took Lilia's hand, Jean said, "I guess Sasha intentionally planned that way, but she underestimated Tom's dedication. Before this dinner banquet, Tom called the Hiroshi family house for blessing,"
Lilia was silent for a while, she then raised her eyes and looked at him. "And Sasha doesn't know about it?"
"She doesn't know, Tom meant it as a surprise." As the man spoke, his eyes moved a little to where Tom was. Jean's gaze was filled with pity as he stared at him.
Today, Tom was in a tricky game of chess and he didn't even realize he'd become a pawn.
If Jean helped him this time, he worried that Tom would never grow up. Even though he would be hurt in the process, this was the best way to let Tom know how cruel a woman's mind could be.
However, Lilia looked confused, was Sasha always this inconsistent in doing things?
She felt that this engagement was really weird, especially since Sasha clearly showed that she didn't really love Tom.
What exactly was she going to do?
Was she taking advantage of Tom's love for her?
When Lilia was trying hard to think, a theory crossed her mind.
For as long she had known Sasha this time, that woman had never done anything in vain. The end goal was always about her or…. Jean!
Lilia's beautiful eyes filled with sympathy as she slowly looked at Tom who was happily chatting with Alex.
At this time, Jean's cell phone suddenly rang, it seemed like he got a message.
Jean saw it but he didn't speak about it. He then sent the message he received and forwarded it to Chris who was sitting not far from his place.
Lilia didn't really think about why her husband suddenly had a serious face. As Jean pocketed his cellphone back, he whispered in Lilia's ear. "Five minutes ago, Sara's bank account received thirty million in cash."
Five minutes ago...
Lilia glanced at Sasha who was trying to get drunk with a sullen face and wondered to herself. "Did Sasha send it?"
"Yeah." When he got this information, Jean immediately forwarded it to Chris.
Because of what she had done, Sara really fell into poverty. And now Sasha 'kindheartedly' gave her thirty million out of a sudden.
When Chris saw the message on his cellphone, his face became grim as he immediately turned off the screen. He gave a faint glance at Sara, who was in a good mood and could be seen typing on her phone. Chris secretly laughed contemptuously.
'You stupid woman!'
... ..
After half an hour had passed, Tom was getting drunk and leaning on the sofa to calm down.
After eating and drinking to celebrate her victory, Sara said goodbye to everyone and quickly left the mansion.
She had received 30 million from Sasha as a hush-up down payment, the remaining 70 million to be sent the next day. Having received this money, Sara would keep her mouth shut and forget about everything that happened to Sasha.
Her bluff succeeded in frightening Sasha and finally she got 100 million as hush money.
After Sara left, Sasha's gaze continued to stare in the direction she left. At this time, Sasha was a little sleepy, and after taking her gaze back, she carefully turned her head over to where Jean was.
A feeling of deep affection crossed her eyes. When she saw the man feeding a piece of cake to the woman beside him, Sasha could only grit her teeth to calm herself down. She couldn't do anything today, so she could only hold back and be patient.
That's right, she just needed to be patient until tomorrow!
Her eyes stared at the couple with fierce gaze, cursing the intimate moment she witnessed. Deep down inside, Sasha wanted to walk over them and tear Lilia's evil face.
Sasha couldn't stand it anymore, but she's in a lot of pain today because of Sara's doing. She didn't expect the dog to bite her master back to such an extent.
She blackmailed her! Did she think making money was easy?
Sasha's thoughts were already wandering everywhere. She slowly shifted her gaze from Jean and was about to drink some more wine to get rid of her worries. When she was busy drinking, her phone suddenly rang. Under the dim light, Sasha was trying to see who had suddenly called her.
And when the light of the screen shone on her face, she already looked dead pale.
Sasha panicked for a moment. She grabbed her phone and raised her eyes at Tom. She watched her future husband close his eyes, his lips twitching sometimes while rambling incoherently. It was clear that Tom was drunk.
Seeing this scene, Sasha's heart became calm again, this phone should not be what she thought.
She tried to calm her chaotic heart by taking a deep breath and then picking up the phone. "Brother!"
Her tone was a little nervous. In the next second, she heard her brother's cold question. "Why didn't you tell me that you were engaged to Tom?"
For a moment, Sasha's heart panicked wildly. "Brother, I ...."
How could this happen!
Sasha looked at the drunken Tom. The man was with her for the whole day, so he shouldn't have had a chance to tell her elder brother about this!
Who exactly said that? Could it be.... Sara!
That damn woman! She clearly promised not to open her mouth after receiving the money!
Sasha repeatedly cursed Sara who she thought had broken her promise, but behind the phone, Samuel said once again, "You don't need to say anything right now, quickly give me the address of the mansion so I can be right there!"
After saying that, Samuel immediately hung up on her! Sasha slowly lowered her hand, looking at the fading light on her phone screen as her grip was tightening even more.
She didn't have the courage to disobey her elder brother, and even if she had a thousand reasons, she still had to obey him.
Sasha lowered her head, Sara's face when she left the mansion earlier appeared in her mind. Since that damn woman dared to break her promise, don't blame her if another bad luck was coming her way.
'I hope you spend those 30 million as soon as possible because I'm sure you won't be able to do it for the rest of your life!'
