Chapter 1159 She Finally Admits That He Is Gone
Jonathan and Mark then took a closer look at the footage and confirmed that their newly elected president was indeed a fellow soldier.
“Since when was he a soldier? I don’t remember him being one,” Jonathan said while staring at the screen.
Sebastian kept quiet and pulled up Silas’ files on the computer.
Jonathan was speechless at the fact that he was able to easily go through the president’s files like it was some ordinary document.
Mark was a little taken aback as well, but he didn’t react that strongly because he had seen lots of crazy stuff in life.
The information on Silas was very complete, but none of it suggested that he used to be a soldier. In fact, Silas used to be a cadre in The Substratum and slowly worked his way up.
Hmm… Now this is interesting…
Sebastian went into deep thought.
Realizing something wasn’t right, Mark asked, “Is there a problem? Should we investigate him?”
“No, we can forget about this. You’ve all been stressed out lately, so you should all relax for a bit. Mark, you can go spend some time with your wife and kids.”
“Huh?”
Thinking he had misheard Sebastian, Mark stared at him in confusion.
What? He’s letting us go on vacation during such a crucial time? What the hell is he playing at?
Mark couldn’t seem to wrap his head around Sebastian’s decision.
Throughout the next few days, both Desmond and Axel were arrested, and the House was in a mess.
Upon noticing the situation at the White House, Silas quickly told someone to have Sebastian take care of the incident.
However, what really surprised everyone was the fact that Sebastian refused to get involved in the incident. He told Silas’ secretary that he would not take any action whatsoever, much to Silas’ frustration.
Eventually, Silas had no choice but to go to Carlos for help.
Because it was a matter of national security, Carlos did not refuse his request and promptly agreed to return to the White House.
He then cleaned up the mess for the House and promoted two talented soldiers to take over Desmond and Axel’s positions. Just like that, the House was back to its original state within a week, much to the satisfaction of Silas and those at the Oceanic Estate.
Sebastian was casually sipping on some tea while fishing by the observation tower when Sabrina came over.
“Funny, why aren’t you working lately? Are you that free?” she asked with a frown.
Sebastian placed his teacup down when he saw her. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to get some fresh air,” Sabrina replied as she shifted her gaze toward the endless ocean and spaced out a little while holding her daughter in her arms.
Ten days had passed since Sabrina brought her daughter back. Although it wasn’t a very long period of time, she had at least learnt to carry her, feed her milk, and change her diapers.
However, the sight of her daughter’s face, which largely resembled her dad, made her feel incredibly awful.
I’m sorry, my daughter… I wasn’t able to bring your dad back…
“You should head back before you catch a cold out here,” Sebastian ordered. He wasn’t about to let Sabrina behave recklessly as she was still in her immediate postpartum period, especially while carrying a baby in her arms.
Sabrina simply glared him down coldly before turning around moments later.
“By the way, did you know that Edmund has been arrested in Bellridge?”
Sabrina stopped in her tracks. “Heh… What happens to him is none of my business!”
Sebastian choked on his tea when he heard that.
What the… How could she be so heartless? Edmund had looked after her for so long in Yorksland, and they even went through deadly situations together in Bellridge, but now… Her tone and expression makes it seem like they’re mortal enemies or something. What did he do to piss her off this time?
Not only did Edmund’s words at the mall in Bellridge not touch her heart, but it actually made her feel a strong sense of humiliation when she regained consciousness.
Furthermore, that sense of humiliation came from within herself.
As much as Sabrina hated to admit it, Edmund’s words did actually tug at her heartstrings.
However, she was a married woman with a child, and her husband had only died not long ago.
As such, she found it unforgivable for her to have such inappropriate feelings for another man and didn’t even want to hear about Edmund.
Sabrina had instructed for the housemaids at Red Pavilion to clean the place up after her return, and one of them approached her the moment she carried her daughter back into the house.
