Chapter 1340

Rolling Up Their Sleeves

That was how Solomon’s engagement to Ichika was finally decided.

Sabrina and everyone else in the Hayes family were supportive of the decision. The Wand family and
Devin were also happy for Solomon.

Even Sebastian showed his full support. He said that if Solomon were busy with his wedding,
Sebastian could step in and help with work for a few days.

When Solomon saw how everyone approved of his marriage, he felt the decision was for the best and
that he should try his hardest to make things work. However, when he made a call to Jetroina and told
Yamada about his change of mind, the latter sounded reserved.

“What? So you want to marry her now? But we just announced her engagement to your brother. The
whole country knows about this already. How can we go back on our word? There’s no way we can
change anything now.”

“Are you sure there’s no other way?”

“Yes. Besides, Hiroshi really likes her. He’s been going over to the Minamotos these few days. They’ve
already gone to try out Ichika’s wedding gown,” Yamada sighed.

Yamada actually hoped Solomon was the one who got the young woman. After all, not only did his two
other sons seize the company from his hand, but their attitude toward him was disrespectful.

Solomon was the only one who still cared for him.

Although Solomon was just an adopted son, the relationship they had was real.



Solomon was dismayed when he found out that everything was too late.

He hung up and sat at his office table quietly.

The ambiance in the whole room chilled after the call ended. Solomon was not taking the news well.

It so happened that Luke came in with a document in his hand. When he saw Solomon’s severe
expression, he froze at the door, wondering if he should ask what happened.

“Mr. George…”

“Book me a ticket to Jetroina. I’m leaving on the soonest flight possible.”

Solomon had made up his mind.

Luke was taken aback.

Wait, what? Now?

He wanted to ask Solomon to repeat himself, but Luke took one look at the stern man and left to book a
ticket. After he was done, he informed Sabrina about it.

“What? He’s going to Jetroina? I thought they’re sending Ichika over?”

Sabrina thought the Minamotos refused to send their daughter over, but Luke was unable to verify if
that was true.

“I’m sorry, I have no idea what’s going on. All I know is he doesn’t look happy at all.”

Hm… What is happening? What is he up to?



Sabrina wanted to call Solomon, but she recalled their conversation two days ago. It peeved Solomon
when other people tried interfering in his life.

Whatever. I’m not gonna get involved this time.

Sabrina sat back and decided to just let things take their own course, but that was easier said than
done for her.

She took up her phone and created a new WhatsApp group.

Sabrina: Listen up, everyone, I have news! She shot a message to the group after adding everyone in.

Sasha was the first to respond. Um, why am I here?

Sabrina clicked her tongue. Can’t you just wait?

Sebastian sent an ellipsis to the group when he got a notification on his phone. Devin was the only one
who was excited to hear what news Sabrina had.

Devin: I’m here, Darling! Can’t wait to hear what you have to share! I was just feeding our young
daughter.

The amount of affection displayed made Sebastian and Sasha want to puke.

They were about to leave the group when two more people were added.

Rufus and Jonathan were both added in, and everyone dared not speak another word.

Sabrina smirked and typed: Hello? Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden? Anyway, we want to
welcome Mr. Wand and Grandpa to the group. This group was created so we can have a space to talk
about Solomon.



Rufus: Okay. What’s going on?

Jonathan: What on earth is happening? I’ve just booked my ticket to go over to visit my grandchildren.
Don’t you dare pull any tricks at the eleventh hour!

Sabrina shook her head, looking at the testy reply she got.

She typed away and filled everyone in on what happened.

Sabrina: Solomon is going to Jetroina, but Luke told me he looked upset when he left. I’m just worried
something might have happened.

Devin: It must be something urgent.

Sasha: Maybe you should give him a call?

Rufus: I don’t think that’s wise. Solomon won’t take it well if he finds out we’ve been talking about him.
He’ll only be annoyed if he knows everyone has been discussing him. We would be in for real trouble if
that happens.

What Rufus said made total sense. After all, he had raised Solomon for ten years. He knew the boy
inside out.

Everyone in the group did not know what else to do.

Sebastian: We should all just wait and see what happens next.

Thus, the whole group fell into silence.

Meanwhile, Solomon had just gotten on a flight bound for Jetroina.



In truth, the man himself had no idea what got into him. He just felt an impulse to fly over as soon as
possible.

He finally had time to think through his own reactions when he sat in the seat on the plane. Now that he
had time to reflect, he realized how rash he had been.

To some extent, he felt pissed at himself.
