“Later, I questioned her and discovered that a man called Mr. Glen had been contacting her since her father passed away. He kept reminding her that she was a Limmer. He also called her when I was in Yeringham and said he noticed that I was always staying with her. Susan was worried about my safety and so she chased me away.” Ian finally told Sebastian what had happened.
Of course, he hid some things from Sebastian, such as his true reason for staying in Yeringham.
Sebastian did not reply but kept staring at Ian with a strange expression.
He chose to be frank now. Does this mean he found out that I am investigating him? This little imp still has some wit left in him.
“I understand and will investigate this matter. Is this why you came home looking depressed? You were worried about your Aunt Susan?”
Ian panicked slightly and quickly looked away. He looked down at his plate and picked up some spaghetti with his fork.
Luckily for Ian, although Sebastian was observant, he did not suspect that Ian was hiding a big secret from him.
Looking at Ian, who was silent and whose head was hung low, he simply assumed that Ian was worried about Susan.
He thought it was the concern of a nephew for his aunt.
Thus, Sebastian instructed his men to carry out an investigation.
After dinner, Ian returned to his bedroom and shut the door. He could not calm down for a long time as he sat at his desk, looking at a page on his phone screen.
An hour later, he finally saw activities on that page.
Karl: Mr. Hayes, I have found Kilian, but he denied that he is Eddie’s follower.
Sebastian: What does he mean?
Karl: He said Elizabeth sent him to watch Colton. He also revealed that Elizabeth had abducted Susan and her brother when they were born.
These words popped up on the page.
Ian stared at them unwaveringly and even forgot to breathe for a moment.
It was as Ian had expected. Shortly after Karl sent the message to Sebastian, a furious emoji came from Sebastian’s phone.
Sebastian: What is the meaning of this? What do you mean by abduction?
Karl: The doctor carried the babies away soon after birth to administer the vaccination. However, the babies never returned.
After Karl explained that, the rest were easy to guess. It meant that Susan and her brother were not Colton’s children. Elizabeth had likely switched them a long time ago.
Sebastian was furious, and that was the end of the messages between Karl and Sebastian.
After that, the page on Sebastian’s phone did not show any more activity.
Ian closed the page and got up from his desk. His palm was covered with cold sweat, and his legs were trembling slightly.
I’m sorry, Daddy…
The following day, Ian woke up and went downstairs. As expected, he found Sebastian sitting in the living room with a grim expression.
“Morning, Daddy.”
“Mm, how are you feeling now? Can you go to the company today?” Sebastian glanced over his shoulder.
He was not in a good mood.
He still found it hard to believe the news he had received last night. If what Karl said is true, I need to find where Colton’s real children are. Could they have become Elizabeth’s pawn too?
Ian nodded obediently. “Yes, Daddy. Are you going somewhere?”
Sebastian grunted and replied, “Karl found something last night, so I need to leave to confirm whether it is true. I need you to watch the company for me and inform Karl if there is anything. Also, your Uncle Solomon has returned.”
“Okay.”
And so, Sebastian left Avenport and took a flight to Jadeborough.
Ian watched Sebastian leave. Once the helicopter flew out of sight, he stood at the door and tapped on his phone screen.
Very quickly, he transferred a sum of money from his account.
That day, Ian worked hard at the company. He responsibly dealt with every document sent to him, shocking the employees.
Has Mr. Ian stopped being rebellious?
At noon, while he was having lunch in the top floor president’s office, the phone screen beside him lit up with a notification. It turned out that Susan had given in and sent him a message.
Susan: Ian… How are you doing over there?
Ian: Good.
He did not say anything else. However, his expression lightened with a slight smile as he sent the reply.
Susan’s anxious heart finally calmed down after she received his message.
Susan: Really? Then… have you told your father about this? Did he say anything?
That was what she wanted to know the most.
Only the heavens knew she could not sleep the whole night after Ian left.
Ian read her message and denied it immediately.
Ian: No. I am now trying to resolve the issue concerning your identity.
Susan: My identity?
Ian: Yes. You are no longer Eddie’s granddaughter after today. Who do you wish to be? You can tell me now, and I will make it happen.
