Is he seriously asking who’s getting married?
Devin’s question had enraged Sebastian to the extent that it rendered him speechless.
Jonathan, on the other hand, who was discussing this matter with Richard, glared in their direction.
“Who else do you think is getting married? You b*stard, of course, it’s you! Aren’t you going to take responsibility for what you have done?”
Devin frowned and looked at Jonathan.
“Have you checked properly?”
“Obviously!” Jonathan shouted at Devin in public, furious at his response.
Devin’s face went pale.
However, he calmed himself down and refuted, “I’m not saying that I will not take responsibility for this. It’s just that there are many other ways. Why do I have to marry Shanae?”
“What? You don’t want to marry her? What do you want to do then?”
“It depends on the conditions she makes. I’ll definitely fulfill it if I have the capability to do so,” Devin replied as he looked at Jonathan. After understanding the whole situation, he was not intimidated anymore.
Jonathan was not particularly angry with Devin’s reply. Richard, who had the intention of cozying up with the Jadesons, however, exploded from anger.
“Bullshit! Shanae is an unmarried, innocent maiden. How dare you say such things after defiling her innocence? If you’re not going to take her home as your wife now, are you planning to let her marry someone else in the future?”
“I—”
“I’m warning you, you rascal. You must marry Shanae and that’s final or I’ll spread this news and destroy the Jadesons’ reputation.”
Never had anyone imagined that Richard would threaten the Jadesons in such a shameless and despicable manner.
Devin blanched. He stared at Richard as anger welled up in his chest and clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles were cracking. He wanted so badly to strangle Richard to death.
All problems will be resolved after I strangle him.
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
Just when Jonathan and Devin were trembling in fury at Richard’s brazen threat, a cold voice that they seemed to have forgotten about sounded in front of them.
Devin immediately lifted his head and saw a man.
It was Sebastian. He was standing there with his hands in his pockets. He stared at them emotionlessly, his facial features looking all the more solemn.
Richard immediately shifted his gaze to Sebastian. “What did you just say? Do you think I won’t do it?”
Sebastian smirked and replied, “You think I care? I can even grant your wish right now!”
He waved his hands, and instantly someone walked up from behind him.
“Mr. Jadeson.”
“Get a few reporters here and tell them that the Jadesons have some things to announce. Oh, and inform Mark to get the owner of the nightclub and the manager of the hotel over. We’ll need them during the press conference.”
The instructions given by Sebastian stunned everyone.
Little did they expect him to be so direct and make a decision on behalf of Richard.
Devin was shocked.
Similarly, Jonathan widened his eyes in astonishment.
The moment Richard saw Sebastian giving instructions to his subordinate, his arrogant and impudence look turned as white as a sheet.
I can’t believe Sebastian is going to have a press conference. Is he crazy? Is he aware that it’s Devin who caused this scandal? Isn’t he afraid that he would embarrass the Jadeson family for causing such a scene?
Richard panicked. He was terrified and furious as he knew the truth to the whole story.
After Jasmine’s death, the backbone of the Woodses had collapsed.
If the Woodses wanted to stay in the upper-class society of Jadeborough, their only means was to grab onto the Jadesons. As for now, Devin was the best candidate they could place their hope in.
However, they had never thought that the Jadesons, who were fools in their eyes, would cause such a scene.
Richard glared at Sebastian and warned, “Okay. The Jadesons have won this time. All of you can afford to be embarrassed in public, but not the Woodses. I’m warning you, Jonathan, the Woodses will not let this matter slide.”
Jonathan was rendered speechless as he looked at Richard, who just left angrily.
Did he just leave? Is it over?
Jonathan sat blankly for a few seconds.
Seeing that Richard had left, Devin turned around and looked at Sebastian.
“Thank you. Haha…”
Sebastian had no intention of engaging in a conversation with Devin. With a gloomy face, he turned and walked away.
Sasha, who had been witnessing everything at the door, walked up to Sebastian and hugged his arm worriedly.
“Darling, why didn’t you tell Devin that Sab was the real woman he was with?”
“Why should I tell him?”
“Well, you saw it too. Devin refuses to marry Shanae. He’s willing to do anything to compensate her instead and even had a falling-out with Old Mr. Woods.”
“So? Was there an outcome?”
Sasha fell silent upon hearing Sebastian’s question.
