Chapter 871

In reality, Baylor had not expected that the whole thing would end up like that.

His initial thought was to use Sasha to provoke Sebastian, and he would take that chance to get rid of
him. However, Sebastian was unmoved by the fake Sasha at all.

Because of that, Baylor’s plan could no longer work.

Not to mention how his urge to leave everything behind and go away with Sasha grew stronger after
seeing her face when she was detained at Bridgewater Estate.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated Sebastian.

Anyone who knew Sebastian knew that he was not a generous person. Everything would be fine as long
as one did not mess with him. However, if one did, the only consequence of that was death.



Thus, Baylor had mistaken him for being indifferent when in truth, he had led himself to his own demise.

Back at the hall, Baylor stared at Sebastian with fury in his eyes. He had ordered his men to keep
themselves hidden and kill Sebastian as soon as he was in front of Sasha.



At that moment, the air was filled with a strong sense of bloodlust.

Meanwhile, the crowd had been anxious ever since what Baylor did a moment ago. Thus, no one dared
to even try and save Sasha, who was tied to a chair.

Sasha tried to hold in her tears.



With her mask off, she knew that all she had to do was to stay calm. Knowing how heartless Sebastian
was, he would never step in to help her even though he was just right in front of her.

After all, she was just a stranger to him at that moment. A complete and total stranger.

Sasha drew a deep breath and suppressed the pain inside of her. She even managed to stop herself
from having the urge to cry.

As expected, as soon as she recollected herself, a commotion was heard at the entrance. Then, a
familiar figure appeared through the crowd.

“Oh my God, he’s so handsome!”

“He is! And so poised. Is he a celebrity?”

Sebastian’s appearance made quite a scene due to his flawless looks and overwhelming presence.

Even Sasha glanced over when she noticed the commotion.

She could feel her heart skip a beat when she saw that Sebastian had really come. As though her eyes
had taken root on him, she could not move her gaze away from him at all.

At that instance, she recalled what Baylor said to her. He said that Sebastian was there to get her.

He even mentioned that Sebastian was not as unconcerned as he seemed. Instead, Sebastian had
already seen through Baylor’s plans. Thus, he dealt Baylor the last blow before tracking the latter to the
airport.

This was the man she loved.

Even though she would never have the chance to hear him call her Darling, or even see each other
again, she still felt grateful.



With that thought, Sasha withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to conceal the fact that she had a
piece of cloth in her mouth.

Even so, she could hear the sounds of steady footsteps coming closer from the entrance. She could
even tell that the footsteps were heading toward her.

“Lift your head.”

As custom-made black leather shoes appeared in front of her, Sasha heard a familiar voice coming from
above her head.

Instantly, Sasha’s mind went blank.

Instinctively, she looked up and stared at the man in front of her wide-eyed.

How did he…

At the same time, Sebastian’s eyes narrowed as well.

Even though he had already prepared himself for that, he still felt his heart skip a beat when he saw her
with his own eyes. In utter shock, he froze on the spot.

Even his expression seemed to have frozen up as wild emotions raged in his eyes.

“You-”

“Why did he go to that woman? Does he know her? Is he going to save her?” The two of them were
staring at each other when someone from the crowd spoke up.

Sasha immediately snapped back to her senses when she heard that.

That’s right. What am I doing? Have I forgotten what’s happening at the moment?



As soon as Sasha regained herself, she quickly glanced around them. When she noticed that Baylor had
not struck, she immediately hid the fear inside of her behind a shield of cold indifference.

Then, she turned away and looked to the side.

She knew that Sebastian despised being ignored the most.

Hence, she could already see him storming out of the place because of her behavior. Not to mention how
she was only a stranger to him at that point.

Sasha clenched her fists as she waited for that to happen.

Bang!

All of a sudden, a gunshot was heard coming from the hall.

Immediately, the crowd was in total chaos as screams rang out everywhere. In just a few seconds,
everybody was covering their heads as they squatted down in fear.

Meanwhile, Sasha’s face went pale.

She quickly turned around and tried to tell Sebastian something. “Mm… Mm…”
