Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1521

Chapter 1521 You Have A Problem

They had sought out the Zander family hoping that Edmund could have a better life.

At the same time, if anything happened to Edmund to the extent of involving the Jadeson family, the Zander family would naturally be punished.

Other than breaking into a cold sweat on her forehead, Tillie couldn’t find the words to respond.

She was cognizant that nothing could escape Sasha’s eye.

Consequently, Tillie lost her appetite for the rest of the evening.

All she did was sit at the table in silence while watching everyone else chat the night away.

It wasn’t until everyone was leaving after dinner that she stood up from her chair and walked awkwardly out of the private room.

“Mrs. Hayes, c-can I speak to you for a moment?”

When she saw Sasha’s figure being led out by Sebastian, she felt as if Sasha was a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean. Gritting her teeth, she caught up with Sasha.

Meanwhile, Edmund furrowed his eyebrows when he heard what she said.

Why does she love to ingratiate herself with others so much?

Unexpectedly, Sasha stopped in her tracks.

A short while later, both ladies were standing by the railing as they chatted by the hotel corridor.

“Mrs. Hayes, I would like to ask you something. With regards to what you said just now, do I still have a chance to be a capable wife if I want to?”

“Hmm?”

The question caught Sasha by surprise.

Is she throwing back the question at me? It seems Ms. Zander isn’t a fool at all. Instead, she is extremely shrewd. She even demands to know whether she has a chance to redeem herself when she has obviously done something wrong. If I don’t agree, is she going to continue with her evil deeds?

Suddenly, Sasha was infuriated by her attitude.

“Mrs. Cooper, just based on what you just said, I don’t think you do.”

“Why?”

Tillie’s expression changed instantly. Staring at Sasha with her face white as a sheet, she didn’t even know what she did wrong.

I have done my best, isn’t it?

Soon, Sasha, Jadeborough’s most powerful lady, reprimanded her.

“Ms. Zander, don’t you realize that your entire attitude is wrong? Instead of asking me a question, you are pressuring me. Did you feel the same way when you poisoned Sabrina? Just because you didn’t get what you want, you decided to blame it on someone else?”

“I…”

Standing there, Tillie was lost for words, as that was what exactly went through her mind.

Unknown to her, her environment had, over the years, molded her character into one that was extreme.

Consequently, this trait caused her to be filled with hatred and the tendency to blame others for her own mistakes.

“Ms. Zander, actually, you have an inherently kind character. I can clearly see it from how you took care of Sabrina and the fact that you stopped me. I don’t know what sort of environment you grew up in, but if you really want to stay by Edmund’s side, you will have to change. You will need to do away with your narrow-mindedness and your extreme character.”

She then continued, “In this world, no one owes you anything. You blame Sabrina for the fact that Edmund mistreats you, which is ridiculous. Have you ever thought about it? As an outsider, what right do you have to demand him to give his heart to you?”

With a mocking tone, Sasha’s words were scathing and candid at the same time.

Just as she spoke, Tillie’s face reddened intensely, as if she had been slapped by someone.

After all, Sasha had spoken the truth.

In fact, those weren’t her only problems.

Due to her mediocre looks, she became self-conscious, sensitive, and filled with hatred.

All because she found it to be ridiculous.

One’s looks were gifted by one’s parents. If everyone thought the same way as she did, everyone ugly in the world would have ended themselves. In reality, the good-looking lived their lives their own way, while the not-so-good-looking would have their own ways to survive too.

Therefore, there was no need for her to be filled with such anger.

However, she felt that she was the same kind of person Edmund was even though they were leagues apart from each other.

Edmund was someone that was truly unlucky. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Sasha added, “Actually, you could have been someone that led a good life. I heard that when Edmund went to your home to discuss the matter, he had no intention of marrying you. It was you who insisted your dad use you as a bargaining chip.”

“H-How did you know about that?”

“Of course I know about it. Let me be honest with you. There is nothing in Jadeborough that can escape my husband’s ears or his eyes,” Sasha repeated frostily.

Tillie was taken aback by Sasha’s words, causing her to knock onto the railing behind her with a thud.

Meanwhile, Edmund and the others were waiting downstairs. When he saw what had happened, he furrowed his brows again.

“What are the both of them talking about up there? Why are they taking so long? Is she addicted?”

Obviously, his tone was directed at Tillie.

Instead of answering Edmund’s question, Sebastian advised him, “You should treat her better, as she is your wife after all. Also, she did manage to keep your family in line. So, stop behaving like a child.”

Only then did Edmund fall silent.
