Chu Yin’s question made Sarah laugh directly.
She let out a chuckle.
"I thought you would ask how I turned from a man into a woman."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi: You’re more straightforward.
Chu Yin smiled: "It’s just a personal choice, your gender doesn’t matter much to ."
She thought to herself: Not being male or female is what’s scary.
Sarah looked at the two for a long ti, then had soone help her sit up against the pillow.
She took off the necklace around her neck and touched it.
"The word father feels very foreign to ."
"I don’t know how you view this relationship. At least from my perspective, my mom doesn’t love him, he doesn’t love my mom, and neither of them loves ."
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin were taken aback.
Impossible?
Compared to other secret illegitimate children, Sarah at least had a mother with a decent background.
Sarah continued: "They had just to keep each other in check, to ensure the Bai Family’s business could be protected here, while my mom needed a lot of funds to maintain her status."
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t discern Sarah’s tone, always feeling like she was talking about sothing unrelated to herself.
She tentatively asked: "Did anything happen with them towards you?"
Sarah’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
Then, she sneered again.
"Probably to groom as an heir by forcing to get involved. At ten years old, it was the first ti I fired a gun."
Chu Yin’s eyes widened.
Age ten is when you get into mischief, but not this kind of mischief.
Chu Yin looked at Sarah, feeling her collapse within her expression.
In fact, she too had felt this kind of collapse.
Obviously, parents didn’t love her, yet they liked to force her into doing things she disliked.
Automatically, Chu Yin said: "Sarah, this isn’t your fault."
These were once words Lin Zhiyi gave her.
Now, she gave them to Sarah.
Sarah gazed steadily at Chu Yin, propping her chin slightly.
"No one has ever said those words to . My mom and he think I’m too sensitive, too timid, unfit for big responsibilities."
"My mom trained through all sorts of things and over ti, everyone thought it was my fault."
"Since then, I’ve let myself loose, started resisting, and beca my true self."
She twirled her long hair, with a touch of charm.
Her face also showed less lancholy.
But Lin Zhiyi rembered Ren Xiya said his mischief was to attract Bai Laoye’s attention.
It showed he still held so expectations towards his father.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t rush to express her thoughts.
Sarah seed to see through her mind and smiled faintly.
"Before the surgery, I did hope that man would save like a father, protect , but he thought my mom’s upbringing was a failure, causing to turn out like that."
"What feelings could I have for such a man? Any feelings have long since been worn away, opposing him is nothing new."
Lin Zhiyi curiously asked: "What else did you do later?"
"I intercepted his goods; on the Jing City cruise you didn’t act, I would have. He wanted to use the Gong Family as a backer, but I wouldn’t play along. I’ve long been fed up with their dirty business."
"What!" Lin Zhiyi exclaid.
Sarah curiously asked: "What’s wrong? Any problem?"
Lin Zhiyi shook her head: "No, just curious how you planned to stop the Bai Family cruise."
"When they reached international waters, hire so professionals, with money anything is possible. But..."
Sarah paused, not continuing.
Chu Yin asked: "What’s wrong?"
"Luckily you acted first. After that incident, I found Haley’s people placed within my ranks, and she loved to oppose , surely seizing the chance to win over Bai Family mbers, my plan was bound to fail, with Bai Family’s ans, not a single piece of cargo would survive."
Sarah rubbed her forehead and shook her head.
Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat.
So that’s it.
It seed that in a previous life Sarah disrupted Bai Family plans, forcing Bai Family to prematurely kill Chu Yin and the twins.
Lin Zhiyi had a feeling she was in the right place this ti.
Sarah can save Chu Yin.
Chu Yin noticed Lin Zhiyi was quiet, reached out to tug her: "Zhiyi, what’s wrong?"
Lin Zhiyi ca back to her senses.
She said solemnly: "Miss Sarah, you’re willing to speak candidly with us, so I’ll be direct, too. We know you must have decisive evidence against the Bai Family..."
"You want it? Haha, that’s quite ambitious." Sarah squinted her eyes, "Don’t forget, you’re still in my hands now."
Lin Zhiyi t her gaze.
"Yes, it’s ambitious, but it’s worth trying."
Seeing her so determined, Sarah continued: "Do you know what these things an to ?"
"..."
Lin Zhiyi fell silent, montarily unsure what to say.
Sarah continued: "With this evidence, Bai Family mbers who fled abroad dare not act recklessly against , the Rein family as participants can only listen to ."
"Then why are you afraid of Haley?" Chu Yin asked directly.
Lin Zhiyi felt her scalp prickling with fear that Sarah might trouble Chu Yin and imdiately stood in front of Chu Yin.
"She didn’t an that, just felt Haley seed to disrespect you."
Sarah looked at the two, inexplicably sowhat envious, rembering the friend who betrayed her.
When she had surgery, no one supported her.
Only the friend stayed with her, took care of her, and even blocked a bullet for her when soone tried to attack.
In this country, that was life-saving friendship, transcending any feelings.
Now she felt betrayed because of a man.
Sarah found it both amusing and ironic.
She raised her hand towards the two: "Forget it, sit down, if I really wanted to kill you, neither of the two n outside would let off."
After contemplating for a few seconds, Lin Zhiyi surmised: "Are you unwilling to help us because of Haley?"
Sarah nodded.
"Haley’s mother is my grandfather’s illegitimate daughter, my mother was frad by her mother and driven out of the family, but eventually won everything back with Bai Family’s help, Haley’s mother died from anger, Haley swore to take everything back."
Chu Yin shook her head directly.
"Do n have an obsession with having babies everywhere?"
Lin Zhiyi held back a laugh with pursed lips, then looked at Sarah seriously.
"So, your control over the Rein family is because you have evidence of their dealings."
Sarah nodded.
"That’s the direct evidence you want, once it’s handed over the Rein family will be implicated too, compared to you, a lot of effort has been put in, they take our money while holding taxpayers’ money claiming to clear us, it’s laughable."
"But they truly want to get rid of us to divide interests, I can’t do that, and as for reasons, feel free to think as you wish."
Sarah disdainfully turned her face away.
If she hadn’t experienced so much in just two days.
Many would think Sarah is soone who only cares about profit.
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin exchanged glances.
Chu Yin spoke: "Is it because of what Haley does? You worry that if you can’t control the Rein family, more people will beco cargo."
Sarah stared at Chu Yin, neither admitting nor denying.
Lin Zhiyi countered: "If you can’t solve the problem fundantally, are you planning to live like this for life? Just like your good friend, you’ve never solved the problem from the root."
