Chapter 1618 A Change Of Bodyguard
Meanwhile, Karl sent Vivian home.
As soon as she arrived home, she rushed off to contact her father. “I’m going to find Daddy to report what I found today.”
It was her first time carrying out a mission, so she was understandably filled with excitement.
Wearing an amused yet helpless smile, Karl watched her run upstairs.
A few minutes later, Vivian reached her room and began a video call with Sebastian. Once he accepted the call, she quickly reported what she had discovered that day.
“Daddy, guess what? I succeeded in getting close to Jason. He doesn’t suspect anything. I even spent the whole afternoon with him,” she said excitedly.
“Really? Sweetie, you did so well on your first mission.” Sebastian did not hold back with his praises at all.
As expected, she was happy to hear his praise. Her face flushed with joy as she sat before her laptop.
“Yes, Daddy. Don’t worry about it. I have arranged to meet him tomorrow. What do you want me to do next? You can tell me,” Vivian said.
Sebastian was still worried about her, so he advised, “Let’s not rush things. We need to wait until he has lowered his guard before doing anything. Also, remember not to be too obvious. Otherwise, he will suspect something is up.”
Vivian agreed with him obediently.
She was a smart child, after all.
Sasha, sitting beside Sebastian, queried him after he ended the call. “Sebby, what do you want Vivian to do next? Are you going to ask her to sound Jason out?”
“Of course not. We can’t get any information from him.” He denied it, much to her surprise.
Soon, her eyes widened with realization.
If it’s not Jason, does it mean that he wants to…
“You—”
Perceiving her concern, he hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry, I have planned everything. I won’t ask her to interact with that woman directly. Her mission is to gain Jason’s trust and find out his mother’s secret from him. Once she does that, Karl will be able to take over. By then, she will have retreated.”
Sebastian was telling the truth. Jason’s mother must have something to do with his appearance that resembled Calvin one hundred percent. Presuming that she had conspired with Eddie’s men that year, she must have been in contact with them for the past twenty years.
Sebastian probably had never caught wind of it because Jason’s mother either hid it too well or the mastermind arranged it for her. Otherwise, with his power and connections, he would have found out about it ages ago.
Sasha understood Sebastian’s intention after hearing his explanation.
Nevertheless, she was still a little worried.
“Judging from your plan, Vivi will have to follow Jason to the royal residence. Who will protect her there? We don’t know much about Jason’s mother. Wouldn’t Vivi be in danger without a bodyguard?” she asked.
Her concern caused Sebastian to fall deep in thought.
She’s right. I can’t let Vivian be in danger.
At Ipston, Kurt only found out that Vivian had transferred to another school the following morning.
Furthermore, he discovered that she had a new bodyguard who would be following her into Regalius Academy by pretending to be a student there.
What is going on?
He stood motionlessly at the construction site after receiving two photos from an anonymous sender on his smartphone.
Seeing that he was not moving, the professor shouted quickly, “Kurt, what are you doing? It’s dangerous there. Come over here now.”
Kurt finally came to his senses and averted his gaze from the screen. With a stiff gait, he followed the professor out of the construction site.
What shocked him was not Vivian’s sudden transfer to another school but the fact that they had changed her bodyguard. It was out of the blue, and he was not informed about it.
How could they change her bodyguard just like that?
Kurt was in a daze for the whole afternoon. Once the survey at the construction site was over, he could not bear to wait anymore and quickly called a number on his smartphone.
Beep… Beep…
“Hello?” said a familiar, deep, and authoritative male voice.
Kurt became nervous instantly. “M-Mr. Hayes, it’s me, Kurt.”
“Yes, I know it’s you. What’s wrong? Is something the matter?” Sebastian asked.
His tone was calm, just like how he usually sounded whenever they communicated.
On the other hand, Kurt gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“Mr. Hayes, I… I want to ask you something. Have you planned anything else for me? I have been following the professor to the construction site for my internship for the past two days. It’s a little boring,” he said.
Although he wanted to ask Sebastian about the sudden change of Vivian’s bodyguard, he decided against it and chose to approach the matter indirectly.
The young man still distanced himself from the Hayeses. He would have asked Sebastian directly if he viewed himself as a part of the family. However, he did not.
Despite urgently wanting to inquire about the matter, he resisted the urge and used a more tactful method to query.
“Yes, I have another assignment for you,” Sebastian answered flatly.
In a split second, the color drained from Kurt’s face.
