Chapter 426 - Hush Money

Hearing Sara's words just now, Sasha's facial expression changed drastically. Her face showed panic and fear.

When she was about to reply, Sasha realized that no sound was coming out of her mouth. After taking a deep breath for a few moments, she immediately asked firmly, "What are you talking about?"

"What a cute response, are you still trying to be innocent?" Sara said in a firm voice. "Do you think I don't know your rotten plan? Do you think you can hide it till the end? Just so you know, I was following you and found out what you went into a small shop downtown two days ago,"

"I did not understand it at first, but I realized it soon when you didn't tell your brother about this engagement event. Your goal is not to marry Tom, but Jean!"

Hearing this, Sasha was at a loss for words. Her arrogant and grim aura immediately disappeared and was replaced by panic.

She had been planning this for so long, but she never thought Sara would follow her and expose her this early.

Done with her threat, Sara let go of Sasha's wrist. She leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. "Do not worry, I'm sure your brother will immediately find out that you're engaged to Tom! Isn't this good news for the head of the Hiroshi family? Two big families in Surabaya will join power soon! How could I not spread this joyful news to everyone?"

"Sara, what do you want?" Sasha was utterly out of words, she had absolutely no idea that her plan would be ruined by Sara before she could even begin.

Her game was over before she could even start it!

This engagement was a path she took out of desperation, it should have been a stepping stone for her!

Sasha's face grew paler over time, Sara then took out her cell phone from the purse she was carrying. Sara then looked at her with a condescending gaze as she demanded, "One hundred million, one hundred million is my price."

Sasha took a deep breath and laughed instead of getting angry. "One hundred million? Why do I have to give it to you?"

Sara shrugged her shoulders and said, "If it weren't for helping you, my life wouldn't fall apart like this. Now since the whole fortune has been taken away from me, I ask one hundred million as hush money from you. Aren't you very rich? One hundred million is nothing to you. Do you recall when you used to buy a painting at that price?" 

"Maybe you don't understand your position so I'll explain it one more time. As long as you give me 100 million, I will assume that nothing happened between us all this time. That's not all, I won't leak this engagement news to your sibling. So that's my offer."

"Three minutes… I can spread the news of your engagement to your family's house in just three minutes. Ah… I can't wait to see Samuel Hiroshi's happy face!"

Sara was crazy, she had nothing left in her family. And all this madness came from Sasha.

Of course, she wouldn't fall to the bottom of hell alone!

But as long as she earned money, she was willing to forget about this problem and live in peace.

At this point, Sara probably did not think that her greed and grudge would make her pay such a heavy price in the future.

In this large living room, Tom was still walking around and greeting people with a happy face.

He was feeling so excited that he didn't pay attention to the tense atmosphere around his future wife and Sara.

However, this scene was clearly recorded in Lilia's mind.

She had long noticed that Sara was too arrogant when dealing with Sasha. This did not match her impression of their relationship so far.

To the best of her knowledge, Sara always obeyed every word from Sasha.

But today, the two of them sat in a corner and seemed to be chatting while holding hands. However, what worried Lilia was Sasha's body language as she looked like a scared person.

Lilia thought that she could find this out thanks to her experience in the movie industry.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be able to see the true faces of people who used to hide behind their masks like Sasha.

When Lilia pretended to drink from her glass, her eyes were carefully observing the scene in the opposite corner through her glass.

After a while, her drink had run out and, at the same time, she also saw that Sara and Sasha stood up from their seats.

Chris was always the one who paid the most attention to every move made by Sasha.

The man walked over and said something to Sasha in a low voice. Sasha just replied with a smile and it seemed like she was putting her poker face back on. Taking Sara outside, they both left the room.

Lilia felt a little strange when she saw the two women leaving at the same time.

She then looked to the side where Vivi and Rachel were. Seeing that the two of them continued chatting and looked happy, Lilia could only sigh. The model then put down her glass, trying to look less awkward and quietly moved to her husband's side.

As soon as Lilia sat beside him, his sturdy arms wrapped around her waist and she was brought into his arms with ease. The man's soft, heart-shaking voice could clearly be heard as he said, "Have you finally decided to spend your time with your beloved husband?"

"Don't be like that, I'm sitting with them so that they both won't feel awkward and embarrassed!" In her husband's warm embrace, Lilia felt her soul drift into the calm ocean. Unable to hold herself back, she kissed Jean on the cheek and then said in a low voice, "Sasha and Sara are gone."

"I see," Jean responded lightly.

Lilia turned around and changed her position, she leaned over and whispered in a low voice, "I think something complicated might've happened between the two of them."

Jean only lowered his head to see his wife's sly eyes, the man then raised his eyebrows and asked in a serious tone, "What do you want to do?"

Lilia blinked her eyes that looked clear as water. "I don't want to do anything, I just feel like they're in conflict. Do you think they're in a fight?"

Jean raised his hand to straighten Lilia's hair that was dangling from her forehead, he then took the cake from the table and handed it to her. Lilia's thin lips smiled a little. "Since when did you become a servant?"

She took the cake and slowly took a bite. Then she looked at the man beside her with an innocent expression and listened to his answer. "Bet,"

Her mind slowly recalled when she saw Sasha and Sara tightly glued to each other.

Or in other words, they were both the same type who would justify any means to achieve their goals.

Tonight, it's hard to see any sign of tension between them. Lilia was too lazy to interfere, but… watching free shows had always been entertainment for her.

Lilia continued to rest in Jean's arms while continuing to think with her brain. Not long after, Sasha and Sara finally came back.

After coming out the room and going back so quickly, the two's expressions had a very subtle change.

Even though she didn't know what had happened, it was clear that Sara's white face was smiling incessantly.

On the other hand, Sasha, still in her indifferent look, simply walked into the room and approached an empty seat. After sitting down, she emptied a glass of wine in one gulp.

What did Sara do to make Sasha seem so angry?
