Chapter 432 - A Hidden Past

Lilia still hadn't said a word. After she sat down with Jean, they heard Chris continuously mocked Sasha with an angry tone and disappointment. "Sasha, have you forgotten that our extended family members have suffered since childhood? A lot of hard training was forced upon us and one of them was learning about various spices that could arouse one's lust!"

Before he could finish his words, Alex had walked over to a table in the corner of the living room and found a small incense burner hidden behind several neatly arranged books.

When Alex picked it up, the scent filled his surroundings once again. The man held the incense burner in one hand. Under Sasha's serene gaze, Alex grinned and immediately threw it outside the balcony.

The pot-shaped incense burner then fell to the floor and broke apart, almost the same as Sasha's heart.

But the expression of the Hiroshi family's daughter was still calm, she managed to suppress  her shaking breath well. Her eyebrows shot up at Chris as she said. "What do you mean? It's just ordinary aromatherapy. If you don't like the smell, just throw it away! Why do you have to say something that doesn't make sense?"

Chris waved his hand at Sasha in disgust, he didn't even bother to look her in the face. "So that's your defense? Then let me explain what's wrong with you. How about that face of yours in the first place? No, no, I'm definitely more disgusted by your sly heart!"

Sasha fell silent and said nothing.

She didn't know when it started, but it seemed that Chris had turned into someone who hated her the most.

Sasha thought that her friendship with the few people she knew began to break apart because of a certain reason, but she never thought deeply that Chris had reminded and persuaded her countless times as a friend. And yet the woman still ignored his words even after repeated warnings, that's when he had given up on Sasha. His heart was really disappointed!

At this time, Sasha was standing in the middle of the living room, her eyes fixed on the incense burner that was shattered outside the balcony. The cold winds started to hit her face.

She sighed and looked at the darkness of the night, then she said slowly, "At first, I just wanted to invite Jean for something private, but since all of you are already here, I can't really discuss it. I really don't want to hurt the innocent ones. I don't want to hurt their feelings,"

In this luxurious room, cold winds continued to enter. Alex began to feel cold as he was standing near the glass door to the balcony.

At this time, the temperature of the room had dropped low. Jean took Lilia's hand and rubbed it on his lap. His indifferent and handsome face did not show any emotion. The bright light couldn't even illuminate what expression he was wearing. However, his thin lips suddenly opened. "Ten minutes…. Finish what you want to say in ten minutes."

Jean gave Sasha time to explain what she wanted to say out of his respect for their childhood friendship.

Sasha continued to stand while Jean was still sitting.

This girl clenched her fists and let out a silly laughter. "Jean, are you also fed up with me?"

"Miss Sasha, if you don't immediately drop the affectionate tone when you call my husband, I won't let my husband give you these ten minutes!" Lilia's face was completely cold, her anger was clearly visible in her face.

Sasha was stabbed by her words, but the girl smiled instead. "Miss Lilia, you don't need to worry. Wait until I tell the truth, don't get carried away with your emotions."

Lilia pursed her lips and moved to Jean's side. "Then, please don't go near my husband. You have done so much preparation to say this something you call the truth. Isn't it time to get to the point?"

Just like Lilia said, the three's patience was also running low. But Sasha seemed to be enjoying it and continued to buy time.

Currently, the door to this presidential room was still tightly closed. Since the balcony door was opened, the room temperature was quite low.

Lilia just rested herself in Jean's warm embrace. Even if Sasha tried to ruin her relationship with Jean, that girl still couldn't break their love.

Jean watched Lilia slightly shivering. He stretched out his hand to bring his wife deeper into his arms then gave her his coat. "Are you cold?"

Lilia raised her head and smiled at him. "I won't be cold if you hug me."

A smile crossed Jean's eyes. And when he tightened his arms, he softly replied, "Okay, I'll hug you a little tighter."

Seeing such an intimate sight, Sasha walked with a disgusted face towards the sofa. But her cheongsam dress made this woman look elegant.

Sasha was silent for a few seconds, then she finally said. "Jean, fourteen years ago, you went to Arum Village right?"

With just one sentence, Lilia and Jean immediately turned their eyes to the side.

The man's aura changed drastically in a short time.

His face looked somewhat fierce and cold, even his two eyes were tinged with a grim shadow.

Sasha actually dared to bring it up!

Seeing this scene, Sasha gracefully raised her hand to smooth her hair behind her ear. With a smile, she said in an arrogant tone, "Are you surprised?"

Chris and Alex looked at each other, their faces darkened.

They felt that Sasha was looking for her own death!

The biggest taboo in the Widjaya family was to mention what happened to Jean.

Where did this woman find the courage that she dared to open up Jean's past? What's more, her tone really showed off an arrogant attitude!

All eyes were fixed on Sasha.

No one spoke up, everyone waited in silence for what she wanted to say next.

Not long after, Sasha placed the mineral water bottle on the table and smiled. "Drink some water, After all, the story I'm about to tell will take a while."

Chris bit the tip of his cigarette and kicked the table. "Are you sure you want to continue?"

"Why not? If I don't say it now, the bad luck I've been suffering from lately and the pain of being replaced by someone else, should I continue to endure it?" Sasha really couldn't see that it was Chris' final warning.

This woman was really stubborn, Chris finally let out a breath. "Then it's up to you, you are free to do anything."

Sasha took her eyes off him, and when she looked away, her eyes fell on Jean. She softened her gaze and said softly. "Jean, fourteen years ago, you were kidnapped. At that time, there was a girl who went to the Widjaya family's house right? Over the years, you have been thinking about this girl you love, am I right?"

Jean leaned back on the sofa while folding his legs in a relaxed posture. His wife still stared closely at him, the cold expression on his handsome face added to his distant personality. Then he looked serious when he listened to Sasha's explanation. "Continue."

Hearing Jean's response, Sasha looked happy, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

She leaned forward slightly, her face was painted with a smile and unbearable joy. "Jean, if I told you that I managed to find a girl back then for you, what would you do?"
