Chapter 203: Chapter 203 - I’m so foolish dad...
"Robin has proof?"
Devin was full of regret for trusting Martin so much against his father’s judgnt.
They even got into an argunt because of him but he rembered that his father was not the only one who ntioned Mara being Martin’s brother to him.
"Wait, Matilda ntioned it before and I shut her down because I didn’t want Sabrina to hear it. Just a mont."
Devin went out and asked one of the maids to call Matilda for him. She arrived after a few minutes later, asking,
"Devin, you called ?"
"Matilda, you ntioned Mara so ti ago," Devin cited directly and Matilda grimaced.
"You won’t believe ."
"Trust , I will," Devin assured her, she was surprised but then again, after all that Martin had done, Devin would be a big fool to continue trusting him.
"She’s alive. I saw her that night at the club but I had no idea that she paid for my drink to be spiked," Matilda said seriously, Devin asked her,
"Have you told anyone?"
Matilda was a little nervous but did not want to keep secrets and began confessing,
"The blonde woman’s picture that was sent to you that day was
when I went to seek Robin’s help because you won’t believe ."
"That night at the party when you saw
giving sothing to Robin, it was a thank you note."
"For what?" Devin asked, feeling betrayed that Matilda had done all that behind his back but after Matilda explained further, he could not help being ashad.
"He is the one who cleared my na but he did it for Sabrina, just so she wouldn’t worry about . Mara was at that party and that food was indeed poisoned. I believe Robin didn’t tell you because he knew you wouldn’t believe it."
Matilda lowered her head while she continued speaking to avoid Devin’s disappointed look on her but at least Cobby’s little smile at her words encouraged her to keep talking.
"All those shreds of evidence you saw at the door, he sent them to you because you didn’t have the resources or weren’t open-minded enough."
"Robin did that?" Devin was shocked that all this while, he had done a lot and was doing far more than anyone expected of him.
"He has been watching out for Sabrina ever since he saw Martin close to her. He has always loved Sabrina but it took him very long to realize it."
Cobby was amazed to know that soone else had all this information close to him and yet, he was not aware of it.
As such, he could not help asking, "You know all this then why didn’t you tell ?"
"I didn’t know how you’d take it and since Devin trusted Martin so much, I thought that maybe you liked him too," Matilda explained and Devin felt ashad to be the one preventing things from happening.
Matilda would have told Sabrina about Mara that day if he had not stopped her and it would have made Sabrina wary of Martin.
Devin carried all the bla on his head, as the realization settled on his shoulders.
"So, Martin is the one protecting Mara?" He asked curiously, Matilda responded,
"I guess."
Devin was so furious. If he had this information before, he would have secretly followed Martin to his house or done worse things to him.
"Why didn’t you tell
before? I would have killed him when I went there."
"You went there?" Matilda asked in shock, Devin nodded his head in agreent before fury rested in his eyes, he raged,
"I only gave him so punches. The bastard. He was just using
to get close to Sabrina."
"Please, no one must tell Sabrina this, she’s pregnant with twins and we don’t want complications," Matilda advised.
"Twins?" Devin asked, surprised. He was going to be an uncle to twins and God knows how he was going to spoil his nieces or nephews.
"She just found out today," Matilda added and since Cobby already know, he did not look surprised, saying to Matilda,
"Thank you, Matilda, and since you know that Mara is still alive, you have to be careful."
"I will."
After Matilda left, Devin was so devastated, he could not stop cursing himself.
"I’m so foolish dad, I should have believed you and none of this would have happened."
Cobby comforted him. It was enough that he learned from his mistakes and that was sufficient for Cobby.
"We learn new things every day son, you should know
by now that I don’t hold grudges," Cobby assured him and Devin was pleased.
That was the good thing about his father. He had a soft heart like that of Sabrina.
"So, Robin is the one funding our trust fund?" Devin asked and Cobby elaborated on the agreent,
"It’s like a loan."
"He would take it back?" Devin frowned a little since Robin seed like he wanted to do anything for Sabrina.
"We haven’t had that arrangent but he doesn’t plan to go easy on Martin. He just needs my permission before allowing the video to go viral," Cobby revealed, Devin smirked.
He protected his forr best friend for so long, trusting him blindly but this ti around, he was going to spearhead the destruction coming the latter’s way since he already removed the hedge of protection around him.
"It should. That way, we could have everything back when the case goes to court. The netizens would already be sympathizing with Sabrina."
"I think you are right," Cobby agreed.
Devin recalled the beginning of their discussion and asked curiously,
"So, what gift did his father leave Sabrina with?"
Cobby was a little reluctant to let it out and warned him again,
"Devin, you should keep all this a secret."
Devin shook his head but understood the reason why his father found it hard to trust him.
"Dad, I just lost my best friend today so who would I tell?"
"Two hundred pieces of diamond worth trillions of dollars," Cobby revealed, Devin’s jaws dropped,
"What?"
