231: Chapter 231 - Zayla, can you tell her about how you saved my life?

Chapter 231 - Zayla, can you tell her about how you saved my life?

Robin was unhappy with the media's intrusion at the moment, knowing that Sabrina hated it too. 

This was not what he wanted them to report on and without wasting time, he was already beside Sabrina to address the issue, speaking sternly to the media representatives,

"She has nothing to tell you and don't forget that you are under strict restrictions to only report what you are told."

The cameras lowered instantly and the media representatives moved away. 

Robin held Sabrina by the waist but she hit his hand away. 

Knowing it was because of Zayla, Robin was not offended.

"Dear one, you look superb," he remarked and Sabrina wanted to say thank you but when she looked around and saw Zayla and her father, her mood was destroyed completely and she hooked her arm to that of Devin before saying to Robin,

"I can see that you are busy. I will go ahead." 

She was about to drag Devin away when he extended his other hand to Matilda, who hooked hers to it as well.

With the arm of both women hooked to Devins', they walked into the auditorium and since Sabrina was the birthday woman but also pregnant, they could not serve her with any of the alcoholic drinks.

When they took their seats, Sabrina felt terrible when Robin brought Zayla and her father to her table. 

Daniel was also there with Lizzy, Matilda, and Devin but Sabrina was still uncomfortable and began to look around for a different table to join when she saw where her father sat.

She stood up to go and sit there but as soon as she took a step, Robin was by her side and Zayla's gaze darkened with envy.

It was obvious that Sabrina was still taking all the attention, even when Zayla had gone the extra mile to look this good.

What even ached her heart was the way Robin addressed Sabrina.

"Dear one please, I have something very important to tell you."

Sabrina shook her head, not willing to share her table with Zayla, and not caring if she was overacting.

"You can tell me when I sit at that table," She pointed at where her father sat, smiling at her but Robin forced a smile, trying his best to not upset her any further.

"Please sit here."

Sabrina was adamant. 

For as long as Zayla was not in her space, she was fine but right now, she was not going to share the same table with her.

"Robin, allowing her into my party is enough but sharing a table with her, I will not allow it," she said adamantly.

Robin could have moved Zayla to another table but wanted her close. 

He also could not let Sabrina leave because everything involved her.

The guests at the party could not discern that something was off because of how they spoke in low tones.

"But it has to do with what I want to tell you, please," Robin tried to explain, but was already feeling miserable.

Sabrina was more stubborn than he thought.

"Then tell me now," Sabrina insisted. Robin took deep breaths before saying,

"Sabrina, the party has not even started." He wanted everything to be at the latter part when everyone had eaten and drunk enough but Sabrina was stubborn.

"Robin, if you want me to be happy, then address whatever it is before we go ahead with the party or I will leave you to celebrate it for her."

Threatening to leave her party because of Zayla, Robin discerned the height of the problem and decided to change the plan.

"Okay, please sit down."

Sabrina sat back in her chair and Robin tapped on his wine glass with his cutlery, gaining everybody's attention. 

He called the MC over and said to him, 

"We are not going by the program anymore so let me have the microphone for now and the music should go off."

"Yes Mr. Jewel," the MC nodded politely in obedience. 

Robin employed him to be the MC so there was nothing he could do about the changes.

He informed the sound team and the auditorium went quiet. One could hear a pin drop since the music was turned off. 

As soon as the MC brought the microphone, Robin rose to his feet and began to address everybody. 

"Media, reps, you are now permitted to broadcast this message live."

Cameras, recorders, and whatnot were already in place as soon as Robin permitted them.

When they signaled him that they were ready, he smiled and began to speak.

"Welcome to the party everybody. I would like to tell you a brief story about when Sabrina and I were married."

Robin instantly gained everybody's attention and Kennedy was getting upset to be invited to a party like this to showcase his ex-wife but Zayla was even feeling worse.

"As you all know, my wife and I have been separated for months."

"Divorced," Sabrina murmured but Robin ignored her and went on to say,

"I want to use this opportunity to apologize to my wife because I was never a good husband but if given the chance, then I'm putting myself on trial and you all are the judges."

Heads bobbed but confusion clouded the faces of the guests with no one able to pinpoint exactly what he was talking about.

"The problem between me and my wife was all because of a sacrifice made by Zayla."

Zayla froze as Sabrina glared at her and she hoped that it was not what she was thinking since Sabrina was there. 

"Years ago, when I was very much younger, I was diagnosed with kidney failure, and with my rare blood type, I could not get a donor."

"Oh, oh," the guests could be heard sympathizing and Robin smiled, 

" Zayla saved my life and it's the reason why I did not want to marry my wife because of you were me, wouldn't you have married the woman you saved your life?"

The guests began to discuss among themselves but it was a little audible.

"If Miss Chance saved Mr. Jewel's life, I think he had every right to not want to marry Miss James."

"They are already divorced and that is good. He can marry Miss Chance now."

"He made the right decision to go after Miss Chance."

As the discussions were ongoing, Zayla's head was lowered in fear and she was shivering. Kennedy was feeling hot. 

Sabrina was confused, knowing that the only help Robin needed then was a kidney donor who was her so how did Zayla get involved in that part?

Without thinking, she asked sarcastically, 

"Zayla saved your life? How?" 0

Robin looked at Zayla and asked innocently,

"Zayla, can you tell her about how you saved my life?"
