Chapter 1069 - Event at the White Rock Lake (9) (1/2)
While Sarah's newly-acquired men were busy with turning off the cellphones and collecting the cash from wallets, Sarah sat at the edge of the stage and swayed her legs back and forth playfully. She turned off the red color of her eyes, and they were back to dark brown (her original disguise).
Sarah observed guests present. Most of them were seated silently in their chairs, observing their surroundings and waiting to see what will happen next. Most of them were silent… several of the guests got the truth serum when Sarah took the stage, and they were not quiet about their grievances while swarming around their host.
”Marcus, what is the meaning of this?”
”You set us up?”
”I lost my bodyguard!”
”What kind of a party is this?”
”You call yourself a leader?”
”You invited us to a party to enjoy ourselves, and we ended up getting robbed! What are you going to do about it?!”
”What makes you think that you are worthy to be the Master of the White…”
”SHUT UP!”, Marcus screamed and turned to Jeff and Aiden. ”IT'S YOU! YOU DID THIS!”
Jeff and Aiden exchanged glances and then looked mockingly at their Uncle who was walking toward them angrily.
”Careful old man…”, Sarah's icy voice came from behind Marcus and she pulled him back by his collar. ”It's dangerous for a man at your age to get so worked up.”
Marcus stumbled backward and turned to glare at Sarah.
Sarah shook her index finger in front of his nose. ”Look at your son and see what happens to someone who wants to defy me.”
”Why are you working for Jeffrey? I will pay you more!”, Marcus declared. He is angry at Sarah for ruining his party but if he can get her to obey him, this might all be worth it.
”I am not working FOR Jeffrey.”, Sarah clarified. ”I am working WITH him. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and my loyalty is not for sale. Jeffrey and I share a connection you can't comprehend. We are almost like a family… loving siblings. But I don't think that you know what that means.”
Sarah turned to the people present. ”By now, all of you should understand that the Chaos organization is allied with the main White family and they have our support. Think about it on your way home. It is not too late to change your mind and put your priorities where it counts. The inauguration is in one week and I believe that most of you present here are invited. We will be watching.”
Jeff looked at Sarah with admiration. She used this event to announce to Marcus' supporters that the new Master of the White family (aka Jeffrey White) has a powerful ally. He is confident that everyone here is familiar with Chaos organization and the quakes they are causing. There is a big probability that many of these people will abandon Marcus because of that.
Jeff was thinking that he needs to treat Sarah somehow… He heard her saying that she likes this property! Once Marcus is out of the picture, he will make sure that Sarah gets it.
Sarah did a slight movement with her hand, and all the guests other than Jeff and Aiden plopped on the ground without moving. Lukas, who was already on the ground, stopped rolling in pain.
The bodyguards who were counting money glanced around fearfully and then went back to counting. They shared a silent understanding that they choose the right side on time.
Sarah removed her mask, turned to Aiden, Jeff and JoAnna and flashed a smile. ”How was that?”
Jeff and JoAnna clapped, and Aiden was next to Sarah within a second.
”You are amazing!” Aiden pulled her in his embrace.
Sarah looked down. ”I think you are stepping on your Uncle's hand.”
”I don't hear him complaining.”, Aiden said with a straight face.
Sarah stifled a laugh and relaxed in Aiden's arms.
”This is the perfect space to have bedrooms for the kids.”
Aiden tightened his hug. ”Whatever you want. Write it down and we will get Cash to work on it.”
