Chapter 1203 Heavy Snow
Their next target must be him! Given that Old Mr. Jadeson is already old, he would not be considered the biggest threat among the Jadesons anymore. Even if Devin’s around, he wouldn’t be seen as a greater threat than Sebastian.
However, Sebastian did not answer Karl’s question straightforwardly.
“Since no one has revealed the secret for so many years, it should have been buried forever. What do you think is the reason that it came to light all of a sudden?” With bloodshot eyes, Sebastian sneered.
Karl was rendered speechless, for the question was too difficult for him to answer.
Worried about Sebastian, he replied in the end, “Has he been keeping an eye on the Jadesons for a long time?”
“It’s impossible. I would’ve believed that if this had happened before I destroyed the Ten Medals. No sensible men would dare lay a finger on the Jadesons after what I’ve done.”
“Why did it happen then?”
“There is only one reason—the true leader realized they can’t control me. In that case, the best way to tie up loose ends is to destroy the Jadesons once and for all!” Sebastian sat in front of the computer and analyzed the situation.
Karl was shocked upon hearing his conjecture.
The true leader? What does he mean? Isn’t it Silas?
Overwhelmed by shock, he stood still and could not utter a word for quite some time.
Sebastian believed he had found the answer. When Silas came to Oceanic Estate that day, he could not fathom why Silas was audacious enough to provoke their family. After all, only an imbecile would dare do such a thing.
Only after the shocking incident happened did it finally dawn on him.
Unlike what angered Jonathan, Silas might not have intended to forsake the Jadesons immediately after using them to stabilize his position in the government.
In that case, he probably wanted to give us a warning at Oceanic Estate! If he was in the right mind, he couldn’t have asked me, Yariel Jadeson, to become his secretary! He’d be bringing trouble upon himself, especially since he had just secured his position in the new regime.
Unfortunately, none of the Jadesons, including Sebastian, was aware of it at that time.
Therefore, disaster befell the Jadesons after Jonathan furiously rejected Silas’ offer and threatened him. After all, it was an unspoken rule since ancient times to destroy those who refused to be obedient.
After being rooted to the spot for a long time, Karl finally recollected himself and asked, “In that case, what should we do now? Should we continue to find evidence to rescue Old Mr. Jadeson?”
Much to his surprise, Sebastian shook his head again. “It’s futile. We can’t save him.”
Karl was taken aback by his response.
What? Did he say that we can’t save him?
Instantly, a shiver ran down Karl’s spine. He knew that it was a dead-end when even the omnipotent Sebastian said they could do nothing.
“Where is Silas?”
“Huh?” Karl looked up at Sebastian and replied, “He should be at home at this hour.”
“All right. Bring me to his house!”
As Sebastian spoke while standing up from the chair, Karl was bewildered.
Does he want to meet Silas at this hour?
“Mr. Hayes, you—”
“Why do you want to meet him? I mean, it’s rather late now. Can’t it wait till tomorrow?”
Right at that moment, Sasha, who had tucked her children in bed, entered the room. Upon hearing that Sebastian intended to meet Silas at this hour, she hastened to stop him.
After the Jadesons got into trouble, Sophie, who constantly kept in touch with her, disappeared as well. Therefore, Sasha was unwilling to let him go over there.
Besides, will Silas even agree to meet Sebastian even if he goes to his house now?
Knowing that her husband was a proud man, she did not wish to see Silas humiliate him.
Insistent on going to Silas’ house, Sebastian frowned and replied, “No way. Who knows if I’ll be free when tomorrow comes?”
With that, the entire room fell silent, so much so that they could hear their own breathing.
Oppressed by worry, Sasha could not help but feel heartbroken.
In the end, all the woman could do was watch Sebastian leave. The wind blew some snow into the room once she opened the window. The next moment, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably when she saw the two men getting into a car hurriedly.
“Mrs. Hayes, don’t be upset. Since Mr. Hayes is a righteous man, he can never turn a blind eye to what is happening to the Jadesons.”
Wendy happened to enter the room and tried to comfort Sasha.
Yet, Sasha felt even more heartbroken. “I know, but I’ll feel heartbroken when he has to swallow his pride before someone else. You know him very well. He has never submitted to anyone, for he has always been the best among the elites. However, he has to drop his ego now because of this. I—”
Sasha began to choke on her words and could not continue. Nonetheless, one could guess what she intended to say next.
I can imagine how difficult it is for an outstanding figure to yield to others all of a sudden. After all, even ordinary people might not be able to swallow their pride, much less him.
As such, Wendy stopped comforting Sasha and looked out the window.
At that moment, she realized that the snow had gotten heavier.
