NovelApp“Who is she? How did she become the woman of someone so illustrious?”
“Exactly? What makes her so special? She looks ordinary to me. Perhaps, she knows witchcraft?”
“That must be it. Or else, why would Sebastian leave Hayes Corporation all of a sudden? Given how
young and talented he is, it’s really strange for him to resign from such a high position.”
Within a few short minutes, the crowd was filled with animosity toward Sasha.
They suspected that she had used some kind of sorcery to manipulate him into her grasp.
As a result, Sasha was infuriated by their snide comments.
However, Roxanne gloated over her predicament.
She hurried over to the boss’ side. “That’s right. I’m surprised that you know Sabrina.”
“Of course, she is the lady of the Hayes family.”
The boss nodded with a smile, unaware of Roxanne’s purpose for saying it.
Roxanne’s grin widened in response.
She was now a different person. The Roxanne of old never liked wearing dresses. Instead, she would
wear casual clothing that made it easier for her to conduct research in her lab.
But now, she liked to dress flamboyantly, just like how Xandra used to be.
“That’s wonderful. Please show my sister-in-law the ring.”
“Sister-in-law?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, she’s the one.” Roxanne pointed toward Sasha.
“She is Sebastian’s wife. I’m sure you know who he is. But, they have yet to hold a wedding ceremony.
If she happens to like the diamond ring, you might be able to secure a new customer.”
Smiling vibrantly, Roxanne pretended to introduce a business opportunity to the boss.
The crowd, together with the boss, were elated.
After all, everyone in the city, young and old, knew Sebastian Hayes.
Sebastian was the pride of the city. Whenever his name was mentioned, it would command respect.
Is that woman really his wife?
Why didn’t they hold a wedding?
Given that he was the illustrious president of Hayes Corporation, why did he choose not to? Even
though he has now left the company, he is still a member of the Hayes family. Therefore, it would be
irresponsible for him to act so casually.
What does it mean?
Does it imply that he isn’t keen on marrying her?
Or, is it a sign that the marriage was a part of her scheme? After all, there used to be tons of women
racking their brains to find ways to marry him.
Many of them sneered at her.
Given that they were jealous, it somehow made them feel better about themselves when they stared at
her with contempt.
One by one, their expressions reflect the disdain, mockery, and resentment they felt for her.
Amidst the stares, Sasha’s face turn pale.
However, it wasn’t because of the crowd’s ridicule. Instead, Roxanne had brought up a sore point of
hers.
The engagement ring!
Evidently, after being married to Sebastian for so many years, he had never bought one for her.
Despite it being a symbol of everlasting love and a token of his love for her, she never received one.
The wedding ring she wore back then was bought by Frederick instead.
Consequently, her fingers gradually clenched.
Despite being reluctant to admit it, her heart felt a sting over something she had not given much
thought to.
Little by little, the pain gradually grew.
“Are you sad because he has never presented you with a ring before? Let me tell you. I have received
two from him. The first one was when he planned to marry me when he was twenty-two, while the
second one was last year when we got engaged. He personally chose that one for me. Sasha, do you
even have any?”
At the crucial moment, Roxanne step forward and whispered those words into Sasha’s ear, as if she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas the devil himself.
Sasha swooned in response.
He gave her a ring at twenty-two.
During that time, I was still foolishly writing to him while he was overseas.
As a suffocating sensation began to swell from the depths of her heart, her face had lost all color.
“Roxanne, what are you doing? Stay away from us!”
Having regained her senses, Sabrina lunged forward and pushed Roxanne away.
Meanwhile, when Solomon saw that events were unfolding in a way he didn’t intend, his expression
darkened.
“Roxanne, that’s enough madness for one day. Now, let’s go!”
“Madness?”
Roxanne laughed heartily. “Since when am I crazy? Solomon, didn’t you see it for yourself? I have
gotten the answer for you. After clinging onto Sebastian for such a long time, she has never received
an engagement ring. Hence, don’t you worry, you still stand a chance.”
Sasha trembled violently.
However, there was nothing she could retort against what Roxanne had said.
After all, the fact was she didn’t have a ring.
Furthermore, it was the reason that she still felt uncertain that he truly loved her. Or, the fact that he
really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
At that moment, the sneers around her got louder.
