“How did he die?”
“Rumors said that he breathed his last on his mistress’ bed, but it was all covered up. The official story is that he had died from a sudden illness after being rushed to the hospital.”
Xavier told Jonathan everything he knew. He held nothing back.
Just when he thought nothing could shock him anymore, Jonathan once again gasped when he heard Xavier’s reply.
Having been involved in politics for decades, Jonathan knew that nobody was innocent and blameless. Every single person had skeletons in their closet. He, too, had his own dark secrets.
However, Hubert was such a high-ranking officer. How could he be so careless to allow such an embarrassing thing to happen?
Jonathan found it hard to believe.
“What about the other two persons? How did they die?”
“The other two died in a more conventional way, a drunk driving accident. The two of them were on their way to dinner when they got into a car accident.”
Xavier handed a photograph over to Jonathan.
Jonathan took it from him and brought it closer to his eyes.
The photograph showed a black sedan that had crashed into the underside of a large trailer. It was a typical car accident scene. There was nothing unusual about it.
It was a tragic scene, though. From the photograph, one could guess that the passengers in the black sedan had become completely unrecognizable.
However, it was still a very typical accident scene, and nothing was out of the ordinary.
Jonathan handed the photo back to Xavier. Although their deaths came too suddenly, he could not deny that he was not too bothered by it.
“Hubert had always had a thing against us Jadesons. His death is nothing for me to mourn over.”
“Yes, I was initially worried that Mr. Sebastian rushing over to military headquarters in Norland would cause trouble, but it seems like the deaths at the White House is an even bigger issue. No one would even bother with the Jadesons’ affairs now. We will have no trouble.”
Jonathan, who had been in a fairly good mood, slammed his teacup down on the table when he was reminded of Sebastian’s brash action.
“I haven’t got started on that Sebastian yet! Who allowed him to act so recklessly? Is that boy seeking death? He dares to barge into their military headquarters and kick up a fuss?”
Jonathan’s anger was boiling over again.
Cold sweat beaded Xavier’s forehead.
What does he mean by who allowed him to act so recklessly? He’s a Jadeson! Who would dare to stop him from doing anything? Besides, Sebastian had not bothered the military at all with his actions. He had commissioned the helicopter at his own expense. Why would the military give a hoot about him? He had the right to go anywhere he wanted.
Xavier felt exhausted dealing with all these problems.
“Why don’t you give him a call then, Old Mr. Jadeson?”
“Don’t you think I would have tried that already?” Jonathan snapped.
At that moment, Xavier understood.
It was unlikely that Sebastian would answer a call from Jonathan at this moment. In fact, he would probably not answer any calls from anyone at all.
What have you done, Sebastian?
In the end, Jonathan had no choice but to call Devin again and urge him to send Sebastian home quickly. That was the only way to deal with that problem at that moment.
However, what Jonathan did not know was that, at that point in time, Devin still had not seen Sebastian at all.
On the day that Sebastian had rushed over the Norland, Devin had received news that he was coming. He had immediately ordered his team to stay put while he waited for that reckless man to arrive.
Two days had passed and still, that b*stard was nowhere to be seen.
“Major, do you think something terrible has happened to your brother?”
“He could be right, Major. Norland is a dangerous place. Your brother knows nothing about the realities of this country. If the terrorists got to him, I’m afraid…”
“All of you, be quiet!”
Devin was already feeling agitated by Sebastian’s absence. He felt even worse when he heard his team’s speculation.
He pulled out his cellphone and tried dialing Sebastian’s number again.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
“F*ck!”
The decorated major from Jadeborough finally exploded.
After the call again failed to connect, Devin and his men tracked the location of Sebastian’s phone number from its signals. Its location beeped steadily on their screen. Devin felt relieved to see this.
Lucky for us, that idiot doesn’t have a clue about how to block his location signals!
Devin ordered his men to keep a close eye on Sebastian’s location and report any changes to him.
At that moment, Sasha, who had remained at the Oceanic Estate, sent a message to Sebastian.
Sasha: Mr. Hayes, when are you coming home? It’s been two days since you’ve left! If you don’t come home soon, I’ll come after you.
She was in a room on the second floor. After fretting for two whole days, she had finally lost her patience and sent such a threatening message to Sebastian.
Her phone pinged with a reply message within seconds.
Sebastian: Are you crazy? Why would you come after me?
Sasha: As your doctor, I must be responsible for the state of your health. If you won’t come home, then I’ll go to wherever you are.
Sebastian was speechless.
Sasha could sense the vein on his forehead throbbing even through the screen.
Sasha stared at her phone screen. If he still doesn’t reply me, I’ll book a plane ticket to Norland immediately!
