The Love that Never Really Dies

Janice had enjoyed spending time with Sasha and did not treat her like an outsider. She questioned Sasha worriedly, like a family member.

Sasha led her in.

“It’s Sebastian’s idea. Besides, our home is in Avenport. My father, uncle and the rest are there. There are many people in the Hayes family waiting for him too.”

“But…”

Although Janice was still unwilling to let Sasha go, she could not say anything more.

Half an hour ago, Sasha had taken out the Jadesons’ ledger that she had compiled from her room. When she passed it to Janice, she reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’ve already listed out the income and expenses in Oceanic Estate. You just have to follow them.”

“But…” Janice looked at the new ledgers; a look of unease and fear appeared on her face. “Will… Will they listen to me?”

They? Is she talking about those in The Ataraxy?

Smiling, Sasha consoled her, “Of course! Old Mr. Jadeson appointed you personally and I’ve already set the framework for you. No one will dare to disobey you.”

“But—”

“It’s fine, Aunt Janice. I’ve already laid out the foundation. Now, it’s up to you how you’d like to proceed from here.”
