Although Sasha had successfully dodged a bullet, she was still worried on the next day.
She dared not act rashly to avoid triggering Sebastian.
However, she didn’t expect to receive a call from Yancy when she arrived at the office the next day.
“Sasha, it’s so long since we last met. How have you been?”
“What do you want?” Sasha asked as she began to tremble out of fear and anger.
She was fearful too.
I wonder what does this evil woman want from me this time?
“Nothing. I just wanted to thank you for letting my son off the last time. I know he would have been in
deep trouble if it wasn’t for you,” Yancy replied sweetly. She sounded like she was elderly, speaking to
the younger ones.
Well, of course, Sasha didn’t buy that act of hers.
However, since she put it this way, Sasha responded coldly, “Don’t mention it. Just don’t forget your
promise.”
“Of course, I won’t. Don’t worry, Sasha. I’m not the kind of person who breaks promises.” Yancy smiled.
Sasha did not respond and sighed in relief. Yet, before Sasha could hang up, Yancy continued.
“By the way, I want to ask about the Sinch Enterprise. I wonder what does Hayes Corporation plans to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdo with it? Would you mind telling me?”
“How would I know? I’m not in charge of this!” Sasha snapped.
Yancy was not upset by Sasha’s words. Instead, she softened her tone even more.
“Oh, come on. Don’t be upset! I merely wanted to know how much Sinch Enterprise has lost so I can
do some damage control on my end. You should know, Sasha, the Hayes Corporation is supposed to
be my son’s business. Hence, I wouldn’t be very pleased if it suffers a great loss.”
Her heart began to pound like crazy when she heard Yancy’s words as her small face turned as pale as
a sheet!
“You…what exactly do want, Yancy? I warn you, don’t cross the line.”
“Tsk tsk, why are you saying this again? Didn’t I tell you already? I’m not asking you to do anything
else. All I want to know is this, can’t you just give me some leads? Don’t be so uptight,” Yancy said as
she guaranteed that she merely wanted to know about the lawsuit between Hayes Corporation and
Sinch Enterprise.
Is that really all she wants to know?
Sasha didn’t know what to do as her mind was jumbled up.
“Alright, just wait for my call. I’ll get what you need and contact you soon. Don’t ever call me again.”
Sasha agreed to her request and hung up.
I have no choice to do as asked. If I didn’t, I can’t say for sure what she’d do to me.
Then, Sasha made a call to the legal department.
“Hello? I’m Ms. Wand, from the operational department.”
“Hi, Ms. Wand. What can I help you with?”
The staff from the legal department became very polite when they knew it was Mrs. Hayes who called.
Sasha paused and pursed her lips before asking, “I would like to know about the progress of the
lawsuit against Sinch Enterprise. What’s the status now? “
“It’s almost at the conviction stage now. However, it’s taking a little longer than usual as it is an
international case. But, we have submitted all of the evidence. According to the regulations of the
International Arbitration Law, the trial results are legally valid when one files a lawsuit at the local court
where the contract was signed. Therefore, all we need to do now is wait for Sinch Enterprise to send
someone to attend the hearing.”
“What if no one does?”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as we have solid evidence against Sinch Enterprise, they would still be found
guilty even if no one shows up.”
The staff assumed Sasha was concerned about the case. Thus, the staff from the legal department
explained in detail to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSasha instantly understood the entire situation.
So this means that the lawsuit is coming to an end.
Suddenly, she was reminded of Yancy’s words and decided to ask something else.
“I see. So what happens next if they are found guilty?”
“The Sinch Enterprise would have to pay compensation that is doubled the amount of fraud he had
convicted. Similarly, the person in charge has to bear its legal responsibilities as well. However, this
case involves a huge sum of money. So, whoever is responsible would receive two to three years of jail
term according to the laws of our country.”
“What?”
Sasha’s heart dropped when she heard those words.
She didn’t care if the person in charge had to be sentenced to prison. She was worried about what
Yancy had said in the call. She mentioned that she would be upset if the prices were too high to bear.
What if her mood turn sour, would she then…?
Sasha panicked.
Her mind drifted to her thoughts as she lost focus after the phone call. She sat in her office, absent-
mindedly, the entire afternoon.
Her thoughts were still all over the place even during lunchtime.
“What’s on your mind?”
Sebastian sat across her as he watched her put a piece of onion in her mouth. He quickly grabbed her
fork to stop her.
