She is his wife and his children’s mother! Even though he doesn’t recognize her, she’s been taking care of him for so long. How can he be so ruthless?
Devin could barely believe it. “You’re leaving now, Sebastian? Where… Where are you going?”
“I have something else to do,” he spat coldly without any expression.
Within the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the corridor.
His murderous intent still lingered in the corridor, long after he had left.
The situation was very worrying.
Noticing it, Grayson quickly reminded, “Devin, do you want to inform your grandfather about this? He was quite terrifying. Will he go crazy again?”
He was still concerned about that.
Devin remained silent.
Within a few seconds, a turmoil of emotions engulfed him.
However, he decided to call Jonathan in the end. The sole reason was that he did not know how to control Sebastian if he really went mad.
Furthermore, this involved the White family.
…
Meanwhile, Jonathan was in Oceanic Estate when he received the call.
The military had just called to inform him about Sebastian’s disappearance moments ago, so he was currently in a rage.
Upon hearing about this sudden incident, he was consumed with even greater fury.
“How did he know that Macy went to Alfred’s son’s place? Isn’t he with the military? I severed him from all forms of communication. How did he find out about this?”
Devin did not know how to answer his questions because he was not sure either.
No one knew how terrifying and unpredictable Sebastian was.
No one knew how powerful he was, how many tricks he had up his sleeve, and what he was hiding.
All they knew after experiencing this was that Sebastian was not someone to be trifled with.
If they provoked him, he would wreak havoc.
Unable to remain still, Jonathan stood up from the chair and left immediately.
Mark followed behind him. After seeing what happened, he instructed someone to prepare the car and asked, “Old Mr. Jadeson, why would Mr. Sebastian be involved with Baylor? He has never interacted with the White family before.”
He sounded extremely surprised.
After all, the White family was the Jadesons’ arch enemy.
Jonathan had never told others about the Jadesons’ affairs—not even Devin, who was the heir.
The reason was that he thought that he was still capable enough to handle everything.
As a prominent military family, the Jadesons rose to glorious power under Jonathan’s leadership.
Everyone in Jadeborough knew that they were a royal family that reigned over everyone else.
Yet, no one knew that the family’s power had been diminishing ever since Jonathan retreated from the spotlight. This was a great fall from their supposed glory and power.
After the new leader assumed his position, the others were supposed to be afraid of the Jadesons. However, that was not the case.
After Jonathan retired, the White family rose through the ranks. Although everything might seem harmonious on the surface, only Charles was left in a position of authority, as well as Devin in the military. Other than that, the Jadesons’ power had been eroding gradually.
Still, Jonathan turned a blind eye to that.
Devin was not capable enough to hold his ground yet, and Charles had been too eager for success. None of them was suitable enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility that came with leading the Jadesons.
Hence, Jonathan had no choice but to endure it.
He watched as the Jadesons’ power faded slowly, as if there was a parasite devouring them. His men were replaced one by one, and his territory shrunk. In the end, he even had to move to Heron Hill to avoid suspicion.
Despite that, the White family was still unwilling to spare the Jadesons.
“He probably had his eye on him since a long time ago.”
“What do you mean?”
Mark’s expression changed.
Jonathan smirked coldly. “Alfred’s greatest fear is that the Jadesons will rise to power again. However, Devin and Charles have not been progressing much. Even though Devin is quite exceptional amongst the younger generation, he has a long way to go before he can grow stronger and lead the Jadesons back to our past glory. Hence, Alfred’s been taking his time wearing me down.”
Mark only understood what he meant after a few seconds. Suppressing his surprise, he asked, “Are you saying that Mr. Sebastian’s appearance made him feel threatened?”
“Of course. He killed Charles in just one try. Despite his multiple personality disorder, he still managed to destroy one of the Jadesons’ branch families. Not anyone can accomplish that.”
Pausing briefly, Jonathan continued, “If I’m not wrong, that b*stard has already made a move on the White family. Hubert’s sudden death definitely has something to do with him!”
At the thought of that, he immediately became so furious that he had an urge to drag that brat over and slap him.
That b*stard’s going to drive me nuts one day!
