What Rachel didn’t know was that the moment Yvette was arrested, she had already sent a message to Sasha.
Sasha hadn’t expected Yvette to be caught so soon. The truth was, this matter had been hanging over their heads for a long time. Yvette wasn’t completely stupid. She knew Sasha wouldn’t protect her forever. Sooner or later, this would fall back on her. Rather than sitting around and doing nothing, it was better to come up with a plan.
Some time ago, Yvette and Sasha had already agreed that if Rachel really went to the police, she would inevitably be taken in for questioning. When that happened, it would be Sasha’s turn to handle things. Sasha had naturally agreed. The two of them were already in the same boat. Yvette might not have been Sasha’s first choice of ally, but since Jim now wanted to divorce her, she had no better options.
As soon as Yvette sent the message, Sasha immediately brought a doctor with her and went to Jim’s ward.
Jim was lying in bed when the door suddenly opened. He struggled to turn his head, but the moment he saw Sasha’s face, his expression instantly darkened.
“Who let you in here? Get out! Get out right now!”
Seeing Jim now, Sasha felt none of the affection of their past marriage. Looking at him only made her regret not suffocating him with a pillow back then. Had she done that, none of these problems would’ve come her way.
Sasha crossed her arms and smiled coldly. Her graceful posture showed none of the embarrassment of a woman facing divorce.
“Jim, how can you talk like that? We’re still husband and wife. We’re not divorced yet. Even if the divorce petition has been filed, there’s still a cooling-off period. It’ll be another month before we’re truly divorced. Right now, I am your wife. And as your wife, don’t I have the right to visit my husband?”
Ever since discovering Sasha’s true nature, Jim had only grown to hate her more. To think that the partner he had lived with for so many years would try to kill him for money. Even his own biological daughter had followed her lead. It had taken him a long time to digest that truth. Now, just seeing Sasha made all those terrible memories come back.
“I don’t want to see you right now. Get out!”
Jim’s voice was weak and hoarse. Even shouting for a bit seemed to drain all the strength from his frail body. Sasha let out a cold chuckle.
“Jim, I’d advise you not to waste what little energy you have left. You’re already in this state. You’d better conserve your strength. Oh, and there’s something else I need to tell you: Rachel, that precious illegitimate daughter you’re so proud of, has already sent Yvette to the police. In the end, they’re still sisters. Yet, Rachel is determined to ruin Yvette’s future over an old misunderstanding. Are you really planning to just stand by and do nothing?”
But Jim didn’t defend Yvette. Instead, he chose to respect Rachel’s decision.
“I believe Rachel wouldn’t send Yvette in without reason. If she did, it must mean Yvette committed some crime.”
At that, Jim’s pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had just realized something. He stared at Sasha in disbelief.
“Tell me the truth! Five years ago, was it Yvette who plotted Rachel’s harm?”
Sasha froze for a moment, then quickly explained. “Oh, come on! That was just a small misunderstanding. It was only meant to scare her, not to really hurt her. And besides, look at Rachel now. Isn’t she alive and well?”
