Chapter 84 - More trending news about me and Sabrina
"Someone got there before us," 1
Devin said with remorse, but seeing Sabrina's dismayed gaze, he was even guiltier due to the promise he made her before leaving this morning.
"Who?" Sabrina asked, wishing that Devin had not insisted on dropping her off. Perhaps he would not have missed it if he had not insisted.
"Matilda's father," Devin said seriously. Sabrina was slightly relieved. It was still for the same course, so they were still winners, but she also wondered and asked,
"How did he know?"
Devin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he must also be searching for Stanley because of the video. Don't forget that he has more resources than we do due to his line of work."
"I just hope we'll be able to know the one behind it," Sabrina said anxiously.
"We hope so too, but if Stanley did it alone, then I would prepare for his funeral. I doubt the general would spare him," Devin shrugged again and spoke.
It would have been nice to add Stanley's confession to the viral video, but that did not seem possible anymore.
"Does it mean he would stop looking for Matilda?" Sabrina asked, hoping that the general would not lock up Matilda again.
Devin understood the source of her worry and explained, "No. But I believe he would want to make amends. It's all up to Matilda if she wants to go and meet her father again."
"I will talk to her about it this evening," Sabrina said sadly. If Matilda decides to go back to her father, she would never try to stop her but knew she would miss her best friend so much.

Daniel was already at Robin's office before he arrived, looking tired.
"Robin, didn't you sleep well last night?" Daniel asked with concern. It was as if Robin had been forced out of his bed and into the office.
Robin removed his jacket and sat on his swivel chair, lost in thought. "It isn't easy getting Zayla's father out of police custody."
"What happened?" Daniel frowned and asked. Robin had not informed him about anything concerning Zayla, and he was beginning to think that the girl had decided to be good, but it seemed not to be the case.
Robin was not proud of what he did. Criminals had to be punished, but he did it all for Zayla. He should be happy because she saved his life before, but rather, he was depressed.
"I'm not in the mood to talk about it. So, what brings you here?" He raised his brows and asked, knowing that for Daniel to be in his office so early meant there was a problem at hand.
"We went according to plan, and the general got there first," Daniel revealed. Robin instantly understood, and his mood brightened up greatly,
"Great."
"There is another trending news," Daniel revealed again before Robin could jubilate.
"Which is?" Robin frowned and asked, not in the mood for any more drama today. He called Aria to bring two cups of tea before he directed his attention back to Daniel. Daniel turned his laptop towards Robin.
"Oh, that!" Robin smiled when he saw the picture and trending video. He knew that the media were always on his matter, but for this one, he felt that it rightly deserved to be there.
Not seeing even a glint of remorse on Robin's face, Daniel explained further,
"Robin, I'm only concerned about the hateful comments."
He began to read them to Robin's hearing, "Sabrina has a boyfriend, and she is still fucking her ex-husband. Such a despicable woman. I feel pity for Zayla, and she is so decent. Women like Sabrina are a shame to their kind."
Robin's mood instantly turned sour again. He loved the caption but not the hate comments.
"Find out who is behind it," Robin snarled. Martin already had the information at hand, for which reason he brought it to Robin's notice,
"The same journalist who broadcasted Zayla's engagement."
Robin was getting furious. Whiles he was busy clearing her father's mess, here she was, creating problems for Sabrina.
"So, Zayla is behind it."
Robin needn't ask twice nor think of the negatives. He already discerned it due to Zayla's reaction to Sabrina's presence in his office.
"Hack into those accounts. I want to know who they belong to," Robin instructed, and Daniel got to business. It was one of the easiest things in his job of decades.
"All five accounts belong to Zayla," Daniel announced after a while. Robin did not seem surprised, so Daniel when on to ask,
"Should I take down the news?"
"No," Robin quickly refused before he added, "Delete all the hateful comments and block her from commenting."
Daniel was confused once again and asked, "Why are you keeping it?"
To his amazement, Robin smiled and asked, "Isn't it cute? We look beautiful together."
Daniel chuckled but was also beginning to worry for his best friend. He quickly reminded him, "Robin, you are with Zayla now."
Robin's smile turned into a frown and he responded, "Must you remind me every time? Don't forget that Sabrina is carrying my child. Very soon, I will be the first person she sees when she wakes up, and the last before she goes to bed."
Daniel was shaking his head. If they had not talked about this before, he would have said that his best friend was in love with his ex-wife but now, all he could say was that Robin was crazy.
"Oh Robin. Why won't you leave her alone?" Daniel asked when he noticed another hacker online and said,
"Wait, someone is trying to clear it."
Robin's brows knitted with worry and he said sternly, "Don't allow it but I want to know who."
It took a while before Daniel responded, "I Know this hacker, Twilight. He works for Martin and Devin."
Hearing Martin's name again, Robin said seriously, "Then kick him out. I will soon fill the air with more trending news about me and Sabrina."
