Chapter 349: Chapter 349 - I will plead with Sabrina

"The jet is ready, and you’re leaving for Los Angeles right now," her father announced, causing Shandra’s heart to shatter.

She couldn’t bear the thought of being apart from Robin. After all, it was her father’s decision to send her to Los Angeles after college, and if it weren’t for that, she and Robin would have remained together, strengthening their relationship.

She would have given him a child, and Zayla would not have come into the picture. No, she would have been married to Robin.

The more Shandra contemplated the situation, the more she felt offended that things had not worked out in her favor and life had been unfair to her.

No, I don’t want to leave. Let me talk to Robin," she said with a serious tone.

She didn’t mind if Sabrina had to be present. Once she could convincingly act like a good girl, she would gain Sabrina’s trust and gradually get closer to Robin.

She wouldn’t be foolish enough to use the same approach as before. In fact, she would even pretend that she was no longer interested in Robin, just to deceive Sabrina.

No, Shandra would do anything and everything, but she would never allow herself to be separated from Robin. Not even with the sting of the slap on her face.

Don Kane was furious that after everything she had done, she had the audacity to refuse his order.

"If you dare to come near him again, I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your head myself," he warned, devoid of any emotion.

It pained him that he had to abandon his new multibillion-dollar business proposal because of Shandra.

It was a miracle that Sabrina was generous enough to allow their casino to continue operating until they found a new manager and disappeared from sight.

There was a risk involved, but Don Kane believed that the risks were preferable to the losses of completely shutting down the Casino.

"Dad, he will listen to me. I will plead with Sabrina. She is very kind. She will allow us to stay," Shandra pleaded, hoping to gain her father’s sympathy. However, she was taken aback when another slap struck her.

This time, even the bodyguards were unable to protect her. She fell heavily onto the marble floor and began to sob.

The bodyguards were shocked to witness how the man had struck his daughter not just once, but twice.

Shandra sobbed pitifully on the floor as her father glared at her angrily and spoke sternly,

"Sabrina is kind, and yet you thought it was right to ruin her with false pictures," he pointed out.

Shandra’s pitiful gaze transformed into an angry one, but she remained silent, afraid that her father might lose control and strike her once more.

"Robin insisted on shutting down our businesses within three days. I pleaded with him to find someone to oversee it while we were away, never to return. He spoke to Sabrina, who graciously granted our request. And now, what do you want to do?" Her father asked, his voice filled with anger.

Shandra’s eyes welled up with tears as she realized the contradiction in her words. Her father lifted her from the floor, his grip on her neck tight, as if he wanted to suffocate her. His bloodshot eyes showed no mercy.

Being a mafia Don, her father possessed immense strength, and his punches were devastating. Shandra doubted she could survive another one.

"Do you understand the magnitude of our potential losses if we don’t find a trustworthy person to manage the business? We can’t personally verify anything that is being sent to us," he continued, his frustration evident.

The harsh reality was closing in on Shandra, and she finally grasped the consequences of her irrational behavior.

If they were unable to personally conduct checks, the managers had the ability to secretly reduce profits without detection. This would result in financial losses for the company.

"You’re to blame for all of this," her father accused.

Shandra felt miserable as she realized how much they had lost in such a short period of time, especially after Sabrina had slapped her twice earlier that night.

In addition, her father had also slapped her twice, leaving her in immense pain and feeling the need to see a doctor. She feared that she wouldn’t be able to sleep for days.

"Dad, I’m sorry," she said, filled with remorse. However, it was too late. Her middle-aged father had already given up on her.

"It’s too late now. You should have considered who Sabrina was to Robin before fabricating those fake pictures. You weren’t even honest with me, and now our new business, which could have made us wealthier, will never come to fruition."

Seeing that she could no longer fulfill her dream of building the biggest casino and club in New York City, Shandra felt an overwhelming sense of pain.

Sabrina was to blame for this, and now there seemed to be no solution. After her father released his grip on her, she mustered up the courage to ask, "I will go. Will you come with me?"

Her expression was filled with despair.

He turned around, suppressing his emotions, and responded, "I have three days to sort things out, but I don’t want you causing any more trouble. You won’t be returning, and once you reach Los Angeles, you must adhere to the new regulations."

Shandra’s eyes widened, fully aware of her father’s merciless nature when it came to punishments. Typically, he directed his wrath towards the workers and bodyguards, but now she couldn’t help but fear that she would face the same fate.

Nevertheless, she contemplated running away from Los Angeles when she reached there after a few days and returning to New York City.

At the thought, a flicker of joy passed through her heart as she asked with a small smile, "What rules?"

Her voice trembled as she spoke, and her father shot her a glare before responding,

"Do you honestly believe I would grant you the freedom to escape or sneak back to New York?"

Shandra couldn’t fathom that her father truly understood her so well. Like her mother, she never gave up easily when she desired something.

"Dad, what are you implying?" She feigned ignorance, but her father’s demeanor had hardened towards her, especially after the consequences he had suffered due to her childish antics.

His unremitting words caused Shandra to momentarily lose her balance.
