Chapter 1719 He Will Not Be Happy About It
Vivian’s heart skipped a beat.
“Jason…”
“Please forgive me for all the things I’ve done in the past. I also want to apologize on behalf of my mother for all the damage she caused. Vivi, since we were schoolmates, could you please give this to my father?”
The twenty-year-old dropped to his knees and pleaded with Vivian, tears rolling down his cheeks.
She became even more flustered and reached out her hand to grab him. “I’ll not bring this to His Majesty. You have to do it yourself.”
She then pulled him up. When she was about to call for help from above, something emerged from the soil!
In the blink of an eye, a sharp weapon pierced through Jason’s body. Vivian could hear a desperate cry from the boy.
He stared at the sky with his sapphire-like eyes and started having flashbacks.
He recalled the luxury and fortune he had once enjoyed as a prince.
He also remembered the radiant look on his face and the glamorous lifestyle he once led.
“I-I’m sorry, Father…” Those were the last words that came out of Jason’s mouth before collapsing to the ground.
Vivian, who had come to her senses, held her head and screamed aloud at Jason’s death.
By the time Sebastian rushed over after receiving the news, the cops had sent Jason’s body to the coroner.
They had also brought his traumatized daughter back. The only people left at the crime scene were her brothers and an officer from Jadeborough’s Major Crimes Unit.
Upon noticing Sebastian from a distance, Matteo approached him and briefly told him what Vivian had said earlier.
“Daddy, Vivi said this was where she hid when she escaped from their clutches.”
Ian nodded and added, “Vivi told us Lucy had executed Jason’s mom, Daphne. She also said he scarred his face when he overheard the men discussing how they wanted to use him.”
“They still wanted to use him?”
This piece of information got Sebastian intrigued. He could not help but take a glance at the body.
The government has reclaimed Elysium, and the palace no longer has a king. The only people stationed there are officers from Yorksland and a representative of the tribe. Why did those men still need his face for?
Are they planning to make him “Calvin” to reclaim the throne and reinstate the monarchy system in Elysium?
Sebastian went into deep thought.
A few moments later, Devin and his men, who had done scouting the area, walked up to Sebastian to report their findings.
“They must have been looking for Jason for days. The bullet that shot him was a lightweight armor-piercing shell. After a round of investigation, we found out that the source of the bullet is a pipe that comes from an orchard nearby.”
Devin then handed over a few pictures to Sebastian.
After taking a look at the pictures, the latter’s expression turned grim.
These men must have found Jason, and he knew he would not survive the ordeal, despite hiding in the cave. Does that mean his meeting with Vivian was just a coincidence?
Sebastian then left the scene with his men.
When he returned to Oceanic Estate in the evening, he realized the incident did not ruin the festive spirit. The house was decorated with fairy lights, and the family was about to celebrate with a sumptuous meal.
Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief.
“Hey, welcome home. How’s everything?”
Sasha, who was making sweet yacón muffins, dropped the dough in her hands and walked up to him to express her concern.
Sebastian smiled when he saw the flour on her face. He said, “Everything went well. Where’s Vivi? How’s she?”
“She feels much better now, but I could tell she’s still upset. After all, Prince Jason treated her quite well when she was in Yartran.”
Sebastian nodded.
He then went upstairs to check on his daughter.
There seemed to be a change in the atmosphere when he arrived at Vivian’s room. Despite standing outside the door, he could feel a suffocating silence in the room.
“Cheer up, Vivi. You didn’t cause Prince Jason’s death.” Nina’s voice emerged from the room.
She was not pleased to see how upset Vivian was. At the same time, she also felt if it were not for Vivian, her brother would not have been in a coma.
Nina sat beside the bed, pulling a long face.
Vivian fell silent while holding the pocket watch in her hands.
When she was about to explain to Nina, she heard Sebastian’s voice. “Are you in there, Vivi?”
“Daddy…”
Vivian’s eyes brightened up. She immediately swallowed her words and went to open the door for him.
She knew she did not cause Jason’s death, but seeing someone die before her eyes was a traumatizing experience. It was difficult for her to watch a man breathe his last.
Moreover, she now fully believed that Jason was innocent.
