Chapter 1184 Will You Remember Me One Day
That was Oceanic Estate’s top secret. Back when Alfred lost power, Sebastian went to see him in the White House once. After noticing how Alfred panicked when his illegitimate son was brought up, Sebastian had since kept an eye on Alfred’s son.
That person was none other than Colton, Jared’s son.
The question was, why’d Colton turn out to be Alfred’s son? Nobody knew what Sebastian had in mind back then, but if it weren’t for the sudden change, ‘Colton’ would have been seen as Alfred’s illegitimate son back then.
“I would have been Colton if I hadn’t been switched out when I was a kid. But alas, I have always been nothing but a pawn. That was why I was sent to the Sheerwood family and taken to that training camp when I was eighteen. They made me a killer, but that b*stard father of mine knew nothing about it.”
Isaac finally cackled like a maniac, his sanity snapping at that point. He wouldn’t stop laughing, as if he was cracking the biggest joke in the world instead of recounting a tragedy. He was in tears, but his face was contorted with rage.
Sabrina was at a loss for words. This was probably the most ridiculous tales she had ever heard. Isaac should have been someone’s son, but he was switched since young and became the very thing that killed his own father.
No wonder he turned out the way he did.
“So you killed the real boss?”
“Yes.”
Sabrina had a hard time processing the information, but she managed it in the end. Finally, she looked at him and asked, “So whose side are you on? If you took over The Coffee Shop for your family, don’t you think it’s pointless now that your father and brother are dead? But if you’re doing it for revenge, why did you kill so many people for that guy?”
Isaac froze.
Yeah. What am I doing? The Whites have been wiped out, so why did I even take over The Coffee Shop and help them with their dirty work?
Did they really manage to convince me? Will I really find peace after they get their hands on all the power they want?
Isaac was in a dilemma, but his phone rang a moment later, and he took the call. “Hello?”
“Where are you, Isaac? Save us! Someone tied your father and me to a mast! Come and save us, please!” a woman sobbed painfully on the phone. Isaac’s face fell, and he shot up.
“Stop it right now! Let them go now!” he roared hysterically into the phone. At long last, Isaac lost his composure. His eyes were dyed crimson with murder, and he would go on a rampage if he couldn’t calm down soon.
Sabrina knew he’d go to his adopted parents’ rescue, so the moment he stepped out of the garage, she slowly moved toward the table before her.
The remote control for the bomb on her was right on the table, but the moment she moved, an electric current traveled up from underground.
“Ah-”
She let out a scream. Isaac was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks and turned around. When he saw what happened, he went back without a moment of hesitation.
But it was too late. The bomb had activated.
All the color drained from Sabrina’s face. At the same time, Devin broke in from above. He was wearing a pair of custom-made gloves, thinking that he might have a chance to disarm the bomb on Sabrina with it.
But the bomb’s countdown ticked too quickly for him. Because of the nuclear wave, the countdown went from thirty seconds to a mere seven right away.
Just when they thought all hope was lost, someone yanked the wires that were protruding from the ground, much to Sabrina’s surprise.
It was like a scene out of a movie. The electric current that traveled across the wires was visible to the human eye. Obviously, it was dangerous, but still, someone grabbed it with his bare hands, and thanks to that, the countdown slowed down.
Sabrina looked at the person who saved her.
He couldn’t even maintain his form because of the current, but still, he looked at her and said, “R-Run!” His lips were turning purple already, but he managed to say that to her.
Run? He wants me to run?
Sabrina was starting to tremble. She didn’t know how to describe what she was feeling, but when she saw the electric current slowly engulfing the man, she felt something hammering away at her chest.
Just like how it was when we couldn’t get the marriage certificate.
Eventually, Sabrina managed to escape with Devin’s help. Devin took advantage of the opening and yanked the bomb away from Sabrina. Then he held her in his arms and made a run for it.
Boom!
And not a moment too soon, since the bomb went off almost after they escaped. The mercury bomb set off a chain reaction, activating all the nuclear wave bombs underground.
All Sabrina heard was a deafening boom coming from behind, then a gigantic heatwave sent them flying more than ten meters ahead before they fell with a thud.
