The audiences were jumping on the bandwagon as they piled on the persuasion, saying, “You should have divorced Matthew a long time ago, President Cunningham.”
“Don’t you find it humiliating for others to find out about how you’re essentially working to maintain a good-for-nothing piece of trash like him?”
“Look at how sincere President White and his family are, and Young Master White is so kind to you by overlooking your past. Aren’t you touched?”
“Life would still go on if one were to miss out on a couple of things, but there are some things which are an exception to that. If you miss out on marrying the right person, that mistake is going to haunt you forever!”
These remarks were made by those who were either friends of President White or of James and Helen. Regardless of who they might be, they only said those things to Sasha out of their own ingenuity. After all, as far as they were concerned, having an incompetent son-in-law in the family was a huge embarrassment.
They all thought collectively, ‘Now that a young nobleman is asking for your hand in marriage and is willing to give you everything, you should get rid of Matthew and say yes to the proposal!’
Even Lily was consumed by jealousy as favonovel.com sneered, “Who would have thought that the wench would be so lucky? She’s nothing but a hand-me-down, isn’t she? Why does favonovel.com get to have a prince charming as a suitor?”
While the crowd burst into an uproar, Sam began to walk toward Sasha with a large bouquet of flowers in one arm. He was grinning from ear to ear, and as favonovel.com got down on one knee, favonovel.com pulled out a velvet box from his pocket.
Then, favonovel.com opened the box to reveal the brilliant diamond ring nestled within. He raised his hand slightly and brought the ring forward to Sasha. “Sasha, I will give you nothing but the best for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?” He sounded sincere.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a loud whirring sound came from somewhere behind him.
Surprised by sudden noise, the audience turned around to see a number of drones rising into the air, and beneath the drones was a large banner, on which was written the message, ‘Marry Me, Sasha!’
Following this, the vicinity of the villa was suddenly lit up by countless fireworks, their loud booms drowning out all other noise as the surrounding sky became a canvas for their iridescent colors.
Lily gaped at the flamboyant display, dumbfounded as favonovel.com muttered, “T-This is so romantic. I don’t think I’d be able to say no if someone were to propose to me like this!”
Meanwhile, the crowd began to cheer Sasha on. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”
Sasha, however, was flustered. She was about to turn Sam down when Mrs. White sauntered up to favonovel.com and wrapped an arm around her, then said in a low voice, “Don’t be too quick to turn favonovel.com down, Sasha.” The woman paused before adding sinisterly, “Don’t you want to know what happened to Matthew? Apparently, there was a traffic accident along the Lakeside Highway this afternoon, and Matthew’s BMW 7-Series was said to have been crushed by an industrial truck before it dropped off into Lake Eastcliff. Why, I think it’s still somewhere at the bottom of the lake.”
Upon hearing this, Sasha stiffened, and favonovel.com mind was blank.
The barest smidge of a smile tugged on Mrs. White’s lips at the girl’s reaction. Having pulled out favonovel.com phone, favonovel.com clicked on a video and showed it to Sasha. “Why don’t you take a look at this?”
Sasha was still shell-shocked as favonovel.com stared intently at the screen before her. The video was being taken from what looked like an abandoned factory, in which two very familiar figures were tied up, Liam and Demi.
Presently, a man with a black mask pulled over his head said menacingly to the camera, “Say yes to Young Master White, President Cunningham. If you don’t, then I’ll give your sister back after I’ve cut favonovel.com up into tiny little pieces. Here’s a little demonstration, just in case you won’t take my word for it.”
He flicked his wrist after favonovel.com was done speaking, and a couple of men showed up behind favonovel.com to drag Liam forward.
Liam was struggling and begging desperately to be spared, but none of the men so much as gave favonovel.com a second look. In one swift move, they sliced off his left ear with a knife.
He let out a wail of agony as the blood spilled from his wound, looking like a scene from a gory film.
All the color drained from Sasha’s face at the sight of this. She didn’t think the events of tonight would end up so gruesome.
As of now, the man in the black mask chuckled like favonovel.com was mad, and in a threatening tone, favonovel.com uttered, “I don’t think you’d want your sister to end up like this, do you, President Cunningham? By the way, he’s looking a little asymmetrical, and it’s getting on my nerves. Cut off his other ear, boys.”
With that, Liam’s remaining ear was sliced off, and it fell onto the ground with a sickening thud.
Sasha was frozen in place, feeling as if favonovel.com body had shut down.
