Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven- Staged

The Wonders and Kennedy families stood, in shame and shock as everyone walked out of the hall.

Jason still couldn't believe that the poorly dressed man was Lexis.

"Dad, are you sure that man is Lexis?" He questioned Patrick, who in return grumbled, "Do I look like someone who has memory problem?"

Zachary coughed, " But Mr Patrick, don't forget Mr Woodsman is yet to be back from the overseas." At his words, everyone came to realisation.

Jason nodded his head in agreement, "That's true, because I contacted his assistant today, and he said his boss wasn't back from the travel yet."

Gina sauntered innocently towards him and held his forearm, "It's clear. Very clear that Sabrina has fooled us all."

Fiona chimed in, "Yes, that so-called Mr Woodsman now might be a lookalike of the real Lexis Woodsman. She might have brought him in order to threaten us."

Jason clenched his jaws when a sharp pain shoot up at his mouth, and he remembered he was being punched by the fake Mr Woodsman.

He fisted his hands, "How dare Sabrina play such a trick on me?"

"Helen patted her face, "Mr Wonders, I'm pretty sure you are aware that you and your family are in big trouble, because Sabrina just committed a crime; impersonation. And the man she choose to use is Mr Woodsman. If this gets to him, the Wonders family will be doomed."

Zachary's face turned sour. He quickly held Patrick's hand, "Patrick, aren't we friends? Why don't you—."

Patrick cut him off by pulling his hand from his hold, "Old man, we both know the reason why you are so eager to be close to us. Your main objective is to make your company firmer and richer, and that was the main reason why you brought up the idea of forming an engagement between our children. And, you have to know we have nothing to do with you as the marriage alliance has ended."

Zachary gritted his teeth and cursed Sabrina in his mind.

Without saying anymore, Patrick walked out, murmuring to himself.

Helm saw how Gina was clinging to Jason and roughly disengaged her arm from him, her eyes seething with disgust and hatred.

"Miss Gina, the 'film' they played today wasn't enough to teach you some sense?" She questioned Gina rudely, who suddenly felt ashamed at the thought of the number of people that viewed her explicit moment with Jason.

"No mom, I—."

"Hey!." Helen held her finger up, silencing her, "Don't address me as that, call me Mrs Kennedy."

Jason touched her arm, "Mom, calm down."

She glared at him, "Don't tell me to calm down, and let it be the last time I'll see you with any daughter from this family. Do you understand?"

Seeing that his mother was angry, Jason had no choice but to comply and left with her without sparing a glance at Gina.

It was then left with the three; Gina, Fiona and Zachary.

"Damn it!." Zachary chucked his phone to the floor aggressively, his eyes glittering with rage. "That damned girl, if I ever set my eyes on her! I will kill her!."

Gina, who was wearing a soured look quickly masked it up and went to calm him down.

"Dad, please calm down. Don't let your blood pressure rise."

"How can I calm down? When your big sister does nothing but to cause troubles. Why can't she be like you for once?"

She tried not to smile at his ranting.

"Sweetheart, don't stress yourself over her."

Fiona said, coming forward.

"I will publicly disown her now. I can't have a wild seed as my child." Zachary said before walking away briskly and left the hall.

Fiona high-fived Gina, and they both chuckled maliciously.

" I will see how Sabrina would survive without help from us or the Kennedy's family."

Fiona rolled her eyes, " That girl has countlessly crossed her limits, but there was never a better chance to revenge until now."

She smiled at Gina, "Now that she's no longer a member of us, you have to grasp this opportunity and force Jason to marry you, even if you have to use being knocked up to hold him."

"But mom." Gina rubbed her face in distress, "That will be a very difficult thing to do because Jason's mom seem to have a problem with me because of what happened."

"Are you not Gina Wonders? Just keep Jason wrapped around your little finger by all means, and by that way you can also make Sabrina's life a living hell."

Gina smiled at her moms words,but her joy decreased when she recalled the tape Sabrina had played earlier.

What if the news leaked all over? She would overcome that. With Zachary's power, all the news regarding today would be suppressed.

"No problem mom, you can trust me."

As for Sabrina, she would make sure she wished she was dead.

Sabrina clapped loudly in the car, which got Lexis and George staring at her like she was insane.

"You guys are really impressive! To be honest, you got me scared for a while."

"How?" Lexis threw her a puzzled gaze.

Sabrina bent her head and covered a side of her face, like she wanted to reveal a secret.

"The way you both staged this whole thing, it was incredible."

"Stage what?" George asked as he glanced back at her.

"You," she pointed at Lexis, "faked to be Mr Woodsman, and you," she directed at George, "pretended to be his assistant. Although both of you are criminals, it's pretty bad you guys are not in the acting industry. Atleast you guys have the face qualities."

"What made you think I'm not Lexis?" Lexis asked, trying to suppress himself from laughing.

Sabrina didn't say a thing, instead, she pulled out her phone and showed him the latest news about Lexis Woodsman, a business tycoon who was yet to be back from the overseas.

She withdrew her phone, " See? Lexis Woodman isn't back from his travel yet."

"Isn't this car enough evidence that I might be Lexis?"

She shook her head, "No it's not. Possibility the car was stolen or borrowed."

She wouldn't believe he was Lexis. She had been so scared earlier, but after checking the news immediately, she found out Mr Woodsman wasn't back yet and had heaved a sigh of relief.

Lexis had said all that then in order to save her.

But was he following her? She had no idea.

George nearly choked on his own saliva, "Who said he borrowed—." A sign from his master made him shut up.
