Chapter 1240 Like A Queen
Finally, Sasha was taken away by force.
In the afternoon, after she arrived in the center of Xenhall, she was taken to a beauty salon.
After spending three painstaking hours there, she was finally released in the evening.
By then, her black hair had been bun up high while she was decked out in a flaming-red strapless gown. With her sensual figure, she looked elegant and dignified, just like a real-life princess.
Kingston was mesmerized by the sight.
Previously, he had seen Sasha before a couple of times at Oceanic Estate when he accompanied Janice there.
During those visits, he saw how Sasha taught his mom how to take down The Ataraxy despite her not being much older than him.
Also, Sasha walked her through the process of running Oceanic Estate’s affairs.
Back then, he didn’t take notice of her appearance. Instead, he was more astounded at how capable Sasha was.
The reason was that he had a secret that no one knew.
From the very beginning, he intended to be the head of the Jadeson family.
The Jadesons back then were in a state of decline.
The family had three bloodlines. Stephen, who was a direct descendant, was utterly incapable and had squandered much of the family’s assets.
As for those at The Ataraxy, they were no different from scum. They had not only caused all sorts of trouble to sully the Jadesons’ reputation but also made zero contributions to the family.
In contrast, the bloodline based at Gossamer Creek lived their lives in a virtuous manner. Instead of committing crimes like those at The Ataraxy, they relied on their own efforts to make a living.
Unfortunately, they were treated with the least respect at Oceanic Estate.
And that was what gave birth to his ambition.
When Sebastian was locked up in Heron Hill, he had instigated the events that led to Tiffany and Tyler’s death.
Back then, Sabrina arrived in search of Sebastian. Since she had no access to Sebastian at Heron Hill, she sought Devin instead.
It was then that Kingston leaked the news of her arrival during Charles’ funeral at Jade Court.
Naturally, Tiffany and Tyler were infuriated, leading to their plot to kidnap Sabrina.
Finally, the two idiots didn’t expect to have fallen into a trap. Kingston had not only used the mentally unstable Sebastian to kill Tyler but also manipulated Jonathan into throwing Tiffany into prison for killing a soldier.
By killing two birds with one stone, Kingston caused The Ataraxy to lose two members.
After that, the self-deluding Candice arrived.
Due to Tiffany and Tyler’s death, she viewed Sebastian with significant animosity.
Just when she planned to kill him in the hospital, Kingston discreetly placed the poisonous needles there.
As predicted, the needles led Jonathan to Connor right after Sebastian was rescued.
Consequently, after Connor, who was the worst of the Jadesons, was exposed, Jonathan shot him to death with his own hands.
With Connor dead and Candice in exile, the bloodline based at The Ataraxy was destroyed.
That was when Kingston began to feel smug about himself.
Just when he was about to take down Stephen, he noticed that Sebastian had begun to regain the clarity of his mind. Realizing how terrifying Sebastian was, Kingston stayed his hand.
What shocked him the most wasn’t Sebastian. Instead, it was the fact that Sebastian’s wife was so competent that even his mom wasn’t a match for her.
Consequently, Kingston gave up on his plan.
“What are you staring at her for? Don’t think for a moment that she will become yours. Let me warn you. If you don’t want to die, you had better not have eyes for her.”
The man who drove them there was the middle-aged man from the old Durant residence.
He was the Cramer that Eddie had mentioned and was also Carlos Smith’s younger brother.
The moment he led Sasha out and saw how intently Kingston was looking at her, contempt flashed across his face.
He gave Kingston a stark reminder. “What are you staring at her for? Don’t think for a moment that she will become yours. Let me warn you. If you don’t want to die, you had better not have eyes for her.”
Only then did Kingston avert his gaze while blushing.
“I’m not.”
“You had better not. Here, these are the presents you are supposed to take to the gala. Remember to take good care of them.”
Shooting Kingston a glare, Cramer threw him a small pouch.
After catching it in his hands, Kingston lowered his head and got into the car.
Sasha was pushed into the car alongside him.
“Sasha, you had better listen to the Chairman’s instructions and cooperate. Or else, you will suffer the consequences,” Cramer reminded.
Sasha seethed with anger.
Nevertheless, she realized there was little she could do. Hence, she settled into the car as it headed to the gala.
