At the party.
Sasha seized a moment to excuse herself temporarily. She pretended to head to the restroom but instead sought
refuge in a secluded corner to make a phone call. She needed to reach Zachary and seek his guidance regarding
the situation.
After a prolonged ringing, a deep voice finally answered on the other end of the line.
Sasha impatiently asked, "Why did it take so long for you to answer?"
She was unaware that Zachary was now in a police car and could only take her call with permission. "Zachary! I
called for something important. What's going on?"
With a heavy heart, Zachary softly called her name, "Sasha..."
He wished to say more, but a police officer had already aimed his gun at Zachary's waist.

gift. Should I give it or not?"
"700,000 dollars?"
"Yes!" Sasha, still oblivious, added, "I don't know what kind of arrangement Lena had with Pamela, but as soon as
Pamela saw me today, she mentioned her daughter's newfound ability to speak and requested a congratulatory
gift. It's some... some cat's-eye gem worth 700,000 dollars!"
Zachary immediately understood. This wasn't what Lina wanted—she was asking on behalf of Kasey. Regardless of
how Sasha acquired the money, she would return it the same way.
Zachary closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Zachary? Zachary!" Sasha couldn't wait. "Can you please say something? Should I give it or not?"
"Sasha, you have grown up and should... make these decisions yourself."
"If I could figure it out myself, would I need to ask you?" Sasha furrowed her brows. Zachary's behavior was strange
and out of character. "Actually... I don't really want to give it. Giving such an expensive gift to a child is absurd!
But..."
Sasha hesitated. "But I'm afraid it will raise Pamela's suspicions."
"Yes, your analysis is correct." Zachary chuckled. "Follow your heart and do what you believe is right."
"So, should I give it to her?" Sasha bit her lip. "I've been carrying the card with me all this time, and the Chrisses will
be mine sooner or later... I won't be short of this amount of money."
Zachary signaled the police to end the call and leaned wearily against the car window, watching the rapidly
receding scenery. A profound sense of sadness welled up inside him.
"Hello? Zachary! Hello!" Sasha stared incredulously at the now dark phone screen, rolled her eyes, and retrieved
the bank card Kasey had given her from her purse.

"Lenny, why are you hiding here?" Arya looked at her with wide eyes and picked up the bank card. "What's this? A
bank card?"
"Why are you..."
"Hey, is there money inside?" Arya took the bank card and moved away, preventing Sasha from reaching it. She
smiled mischievously.
"Yes, there's money in it!" Sasha was impatient. "It's 700,000 dollars!"
"Oh, I knew it! Considering how close you are to Pammy, you wouldn't back out on your word, right?" Arya smiled.
"So, you prepared this money in advance, waiting to buy a gift for little Sephy? Alright, I'll give it to her right away!"
Arya turned and dashed off.
Sasha was dumbfounded and hurriedly followed.
"Pammy! Lenny has prepared a gift for you, and there's money in the card!"
"Hey, come back here!" Sasha grew frustrated. "Who told you to touch my things?"
"Are you sure it's yours?"
Sasha froze and turned toward the voice. She saw Elijah standing not far away with a mocking smirk.
