Chapter 730 Going to the Harrington Group
Seeing her get up, Antonio whipped out a sealed box from the other side, saying, "There you go."
Sarah, eyes all curious, couldn't resist cracking it open for a peek. But the human skin mask looked way different on a face, so she couldn't tell much just by looking at it.
She quickly finished washing up and let Antonio slap the mask on her face. Finally, he placed the human-like mask on her.
"This is wild."
Sarah stared at the totally unfamiliar face in the mirror and couldn't help but blurt out, "Lemme see, what does yours look like?"
Her new look was a bit older, but still pretty delicate, while Antonio's mask looked super plain!
She was dying to see what he'd look like with it on.
When Antonio put on the mask, he morphed into some rich dude with zero manners.
Sarah couldn't stop cracking up as she watched.
"Alright," Antonio said, kinda helpless, grabbing the already packed suitcase. "Let's roll, it's about time."
Sarah nodded. "Okay, should we call the kids and let 'em know?"
Especially Brian, who was mature and didn't need to be kept in the dark about a lot of stuff.
Antonio said, "Let's grab some grub first, okay?"
Sarah let him lead her out, nodding along.
In the VIP lounge, Sarah called Brian. As soon as the call connected, the voices of the four kids came through the receiver.
"Mommy!"
"Mr. Harrington!"
The kids greeted them eagerly and then curiously asked, "Mommy, where are you now?"
Sarah couldn't help but smile, "We're at the airport, maybe heading somewhere new. Be good at home, okay? We'll be back soon."
The kids exchanged glances and seemed stoked.
In their eyes, Sarah and "Benjamin" had been out for so long, and now they were off to another place. They thought it might mean they were about to patch things up.
Ethan, getting signals from Ryan and Harper, spoke up, "Okay, Mommy! You can stay out as long as you want! We'll be good and listen to Sofia!"
Harper, all excited, grabbed Ryan's hand and echoed, "Yeah, yeah! Mommy and Mr. Harrington don't need to rush back!"
The kids believed if they stayed out longer and sorted all the misunderstandings, Benjamin would definitely become their dad when they got back!
Sarah caught the drift in their words and couldn't help but laugh, glancing at the upright Antonio beside her. She decided to stop pretending and asked, "Wanna talk to Mr. Harrington?"
"Yes!" the kids replied in unison.
Sarah smiled and handed the phone over.
Antonio raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride sneaking through.
He took the phone and gently greeted each kid, chatting about their daily lives. He also promised to bring each of them a gift when they got back.
Except for Brian, the other three kids were super excited.
Finally, the phone got back to Brian. He moved his lips, said coldly, "Mr. Harrington."
Antonio responded calmly.
Both of them got each other and didn't mind the formal address. They were always in touch, so no need to say much.
Antonio had a lot he wanted to say but just ended up saying, "Take care of your siblings."
Brian responded and hung up the phone.
Sarah looked at the phone in her hand, her expression a bit down.
Antonio knew what was on her mind and put his arm around her shoulder, softly comforting her, "Trust me, we'll sort everything out soon and be back with the kids."
"I know." Sarah leaned on his shoulder and took a deep breath.
After a bit, an airport staff member came over to remind them it was time to board, asking them to get ready.
"Let's roll." Antonio stood up, grabbed Sarah's coat and helped her put it on, carrying the bag and suitcase in one hand and holding her hand with the other as they left the lounge.
This time, their seats were together. With their new identities, they weren't worried about being recognized.
Sarah leaned back in her seat and could see Antonio sitting next to her. Even with a different face, the familiar tenderness in his eyes was still there, along with a hint of hidden fatigue.
She felt a bit worried, softly saying, "You should catch some Z's. You haven't slept well these past couple of days."
Antonio squeezed her hand, saying, "If you need anything, just holler. You should rest too."
Sarah smiled and nodded, watching him close his eyes.
She had slept enough during the day and wasn't sleepy at all, so she turned on the screen in front of her and started watching TV.
After a flight of over ten hours, the plane touched down at Marshall City Airport.
Antonio had booked a hotel in advance. They walked out of the exit together and grabbed a cab.
"Feeling hungry?" he asked.
Sarah looked at the bustling scene outside the window and shook her head.
Antonio knew she had eaten something on the plane and didn't push it. He checked the time, suggesting, "Let's hit the hotel first. You can rest, and we'll head out in the evening."
Sarah turned her head, asking, "Where to?"
He said, "To a banquet."
The reason they rushed back yesterday was that the Harrington Group was hosting a business exchange event today, using it as a chance to find better partners for the company.
Given the previous troubles had caused significant damage to the Harrington Group, Harold had to find ways to bounce back.
Feeling puzzled, Sarah asked, "The Harrington Group?"
Antonio nodded.
Brian had set everything up in advance. They were now posing as returning businessmen, and their new identities allowed them to approach the Harrington Group. This banquet was a golden opportunity.
Sarah glanced at the driver in front and didn't ask more.
At the hotel, they got out of the car.
Antonio held her hand as they checked in at the front desk.
Their documents were prepped in advance, and the front desk didn't notice anything off. Seeing that they had booked the presidential suite, the receptionist's smile got even wider, saying, "Mr. White, here is your room key."
Antonio's new identity was Paul White.
And Sarah's was Rebecca Walker.
Antonio nodded slightly at the receptionist, took the room key, and walked towards the elevator with Sarah.
Suddenly, he paused, his face going pale as he leaned against the wall, clutching his chest.
