Sasha’s tears instantly threatened to fall.
She managed to push them back in the end, though.
“It’s fine. He’s actually pretty nice to me… aside from that matter. Also, he was not the reason I ran away with the kids. The culprit was… Sebastian.”
“That punk?”
As suspected, the elderly man turned stern at the mere mention of his son-in-law.
Sasha quickly explained, “Don’t get agitated, Dad. There were a lot of misunderstandings between the two of us at that time. Plus, you knew I am the reason he was locked away for years…”
Rufus couldn’t reply.
He paused for a moment before he decided to stop talking about the matter.
As the father, it was only natural that Rufus knew all about what happened in the past.
The father-daughter duo stayed there for a little longer.
It was almost winter, but the sun was up that day. Still, the sky was a little dark, and the icy wind kept howling, so it didn’t need to snow to get everyone to shiver in cold.
Sasha was about to make some warm tea when Rufus suddenly stood up and asked, “I heard a rumor about how Solomon is back. Is that true? What’s up with the kid? How did he turn out like this? I can’t believe he actually tried to harm you.”
Rufus asked with a furious expression on.
Sasha instantly paused.
Oh right! Sasha had forgotten how Solomon was the boy that Yancy had entrusted her mom to raise. Dad definitely knows about him since Mom was the one who raised him.
Sasha suddenly realized something. She immediately answered, “This is all because of Yancy. Did you know? She never died!”
“What did you just say? She’s alive?” blurted Rufus, who was very shocked.
“Yeah, she is alive the entire time. Solomon caused all that trouble because he was working together with his mom. I don’t know when he discovered that his mom was alive, but he got in touch with her soon after he left our home.”
Rufus couldn’t speak.
He was so angry that he almost passed out.
Why do I keep raising heartless as*es? Xenia is heartless, and now Yancy’s boy is behaving the same way.
“But Dad, now that you mention it. I’d like to ask you something. Yancy said that Sebastian isn’t Frederick’s biological son. Do you know about it?”
“Huh? How did you learn about this?” blurted Rufus. His expression had taken a sharp turn.
Hearing that got Sasha’s heart to sink a little. She replied, “Well, Yancy locked me up when I was in Jetroina, and she told me that herself. Also, we found Frieda in the Hayes Residence.”
Rufus was utterly speechless. He couldn’t form a single sentence anymore.
Unfortunately, his daughter wasn’t done asking. She fired another troubling question at him.
“Dad, what I really want to know now is this. Who is Sebastian’s biological father? Yancy claimed that Frederick almost killed the guy because he was into Frieda. Is that true?”
“Bullsh*t! The Jadesons were the ones who refused to accept her,” roared Rufus without thinking because he was too angry to contain his anger.
Hearing that got Sasha to turn pale instantly. The last shred of hope she held on to had finally broken off.
Oh no, The Jadesons! So his biological father is a member of the most prominent royalty in Jadeborough. What do we do now?
“Listen to me, Sasha. That evil b*tch, Yancy, is conning you. She was trying to drive a wedge between Frederick and Sebastian. If Frederick hadn’t protected Sebastian and his mother all those years ago, neither one of them would have survived.”
Rufus saw his daughter turn so pale in an instant and assumed that she was worried about the relationship between Sebastian and Frederick. Hence, Rufus took the initiative to explain everything.
Sasha’s lips parted, but it took her a while before she heard herself asking, “W-what is the truth then?”
“The truth is that Shin fell for Frieda after meeting her. However, his family, the Jadesons, refused to accept Frieda because she was not from a powerful family. They even insulted her for being a young gold-digger, who schemed to seduce him. Shin eventually got tired of it all, so he stole his documents from home and legally married Frieda here.”
“They actually got married?” blurted Sasha.
She was surprised and was genuinely impressed by the man who fought for what he wanted.
Rufus nodded and replied, “Yeah. That was why Frieda got pregnant later. The Jadesons eventually found out about that marriage, so they sent Shin away on a mission. They planned on going after Frieda by making her have a miscarriage before killing her off entirely.
“Frederick and I learned about that, so one of us went to inform Shin about it while the other went to rescue Frieda. Things ended badly because Shin got distracted on the battlefield after learning about that. An enemy sniper shot him, and he died. Frieda, who Frederick had rescued, learned about that and went insane after she gave birth to her son.”
Rufus finished the story with sorrow in his eyes.
The ending was similar to what Yancy claimed, but the true story behind it was so different. That b*tch! I can’t believe she actually claimed that Frederick had a thing for Frieda.
