Sebastian’s words were undoubtedly a bolt of lightning.
Not only was Grayson shocked to hear that, but even Devin couldn’t quite believe it.
Baylor White? Alfred’s dying son? How could he have the capability to cause such a huge accident?
Devin knew the Whites well. He truly couldn’t quite believe that.
After having discussed things with Sasha back then, they both felt that someone else was behind the poisoning incident. He had been investigating that man all this time.
However, he found no clues that pointed to the man.
Well, until this very moment when this cousin of his revealed that the sickly man wanted to kill him.
In that case, could the person behind the poisoning have something to do with him?
Devin was both surprised and livid.
“How did you know that? Have you been investigating him all this while? Or… you were already acquainted?”
Only after composing himself for a long while did he hear himself asking such a question.
Unfortunately, Sebastian said nothing further. Or more precisely, he didn’t want to. He merely stood in front of the operating theater. The hostility and menace on his face could make one shudder in terror.
Irrefutably, Devin was still beneath him with intellectual acuity.
How did he get acquainted with Baylor? He used to live in Avenport. And when he came here, he was a different person so, it’s even more implausible for him to be acquainted with that heir of the White family.
That name probably went on Sebastian’s list because of Calvin’s death.
The message the latter left him before he died was to caution him against someone else. He also said to stop after killing Charles and the others and urged Sebastian to live out the rest of his life with his family elsewhere.
At that time, Sebastian already knew Calvin’s death had nothing to do with the Jadesons.
Meanwhile, the fact that Calvin said nothing about the real culprit who hurt him but insisted that Sebastian left quickly because that person was even more powerful and tricky than the Jadesons.
Naturally, the White family went on the list.
The Whites were exceedingly smart. They seemed to get along very well with the Jadesons, just like a family.
Sebastian finally had an opening when someone told him about Hubert’s sexual preference.
The latter preferred beautiful boys.
Sebastian had someone seek Hubert out. Instead of paying a visit in person, he instructed the person to anesthetize Hubert and witnessed his own castration.
Sure enough, Hubert caved.
He confessed that Calvin only ended up in his hands because someone wanted him to transform the latter. Then, he was to send Calvin back to the Jadesons’ Residence, and in turn, Sebastian.
Therefore, Magnus’ appearance that day with Calvin was no coincidence.
It was probably staged.
The puzzle pieces fell in place with careful planning, including phoning Kira and having her notify Devin.
Since Devin had also gone to the club that day, he would still rescue Calvin without Sebastian since he had been helping with the search.
After that, he would have sent Calvin back to Sebastian.
Hubert received no mercy in the end. Sebastian had his man melt the organs and tossed him back to his master.
I never expected the culprit to go even wilder instead of being afraid and restraining himself. I haven’t gone for him, but he dares to provoke me directly!
The corners of Sebastian’s mouth curved into a frosty arc.
An hour later, the doors of the operating theater finally swung open.
“How is she, doctor? Is she okay?” Devin immediately rushed over.
Grayson went over as well.
“The prognosis is rather bleak. Her internal organs have ruptured, and there’s severe internal bleeding. Besides a few broken ribs, her vital signs are stable for now. However, it’s uncertain if she can pull through the critical period.”
The doctor described the Vivian’s condition pessimistically while looking at the two men.
As soon as Devin heard that, his face fell.
When he saw her face wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, his expression turned grimmer.
“Sebastian, she…” He peered at his cousin cautiously, looking very hesitantly.
She has finally returned to his side after much difficulty, and her face restored after an excruciating torture. But now, her life is hanging on a thread again. Why is this happening?
Devin was devastated.
However, he noticed Sebastian’s strange behavior.
Standing before the gurney, the latter’s pupils constricted as he looked at a heavily bandaged Vivian.
His handsome face blanched slightly.
Seconds later, he was back to his calm and aloof self.
“Keep a close eye on her,” he ordered. Then, he whirled around to leave.
Devin was entirely stumped.
Is he for real? He left just like this?
