The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Jonathan was as intimidating as he was in his prime. After saying those words, he spun around and left

furiously.

Everyone, especially Silas, stood there awkwardly, their faces flushing with embarrassment.

Half an hour later, Sebastian and Sasha returned after setting off the fireworks with the children. By

then, the guests had already left.

After hearing Tony’s detailed recount of the conflict, Sasha was livid.

“Isn’t Silas going overboard? How dare he suggest that you become his secretary? He’s not worthy!”

Sebastian narrowed his eyes.

However, he did not express any opinions. After sending the children back to their rooms, he went to

look for Jonathan in the study.

“You’re here?”

As he had predicted, Jonathan was still furious.

Sebastian sat on a chair. Instead of making any remarks on the incident, he sat there quietly for a while

before voicing his query. “Why must you have the Jadesons remain in the White House?”

Jonathan was stunned. “Isn’t it obvious enough? I’m doing this for the sake of the family and all of you.”

Sebastian did not say anything.

The room was plunged into silence again.

This time, Sebastian sat in the chair for a long time, propping his chin in the palm of his hand. No one

could tell what he was thinking about.

Feeling impatient, Jonathan noticed his expression and wondered if his grandson was planning to quit

since the young man never liked working in the White House.

His anxiousness got the better of him, and he said, “Don’t worry. Just bear with it for three more

months. Three months later, Devin will return. You can go wherever you want then.”

Only then did Sebastian raise his eyebrows and say, “That’s not what I’m trying to say. I just find it

weird that he came all the way to Oceanic Estate to provoke us so arrogantly. Isn’t he afraid that I’ll kill

him?”

There was nothing wrong with his remark.

However, Jonathan felt uncomfortable hearing it. I didn’t even sound so intimidating when I threatened

Silas at the observation tower!

“What are you suspecting?” he asked.

“I don’t know. I can’t seem to describe it, but I can feel that he’s forcing us to leave the White House.”

Sebastian finally expressed his opinion. His expression turned grim afterward.

It was evident that Silas planned to force the Jadesons to leave the White House and the political

scene by making Sebastian his secretary.

Furthermore, Silas even visited Oceanic Estate on purpose, which worsened the situation. Judging

from how furious Jonathan was, it was easy to tell how tense the conversation had been. Franky, it

looked as if his grandfather wanted to tear Silas apart.

Why does he want to do that? He’s acting so deliberately too!

Sebastian could not figure it out for the entire night. However, he had a vague premonition and thus

instructed those in Oceanic Estate to be more careful.

He also asked his men to keep an eye on the White House and report anything that happened, sparing

no detail.

However, no matter how much he tried to guard against it, tragedy still befell the Jadesons five days

into the new year.

“Oh no! Mr. Steward, I just received news that the White House received a report from Smallpoint. It’s

about what happened when Old Mr. Jadeson was at Hallsbay…”

“What?”

Mark’s expression changed when he heard it.

He immediately ran to the study to inform Sebastian. However, when he passed by the living room, he

already saw the news being broadcast on the television.

“According to news that we’ve just received, a soldier who had gone missing more than twenty years

ago at the borders of Hallsbay and Smallpoint, suddenly showed up. He is the only survivor of the

collective disappearance of an entire military unit—a case that has shocked the entire nation. The

White House is investigating this issue with utmost priority.”

Mark’s mind went blank.

In the next second, he sprinted to the study like a madman.

Just like that, chaos descended upon all of them in an instant.

Sebastian barely had time to react before it destroyed the entire Jadeson family. No matter how

powerful and resourceful he was, he never expected himself to be helpless before such a drastic

change.

“Why?” he asked.

“Why?” The member of the military tribunal sneered as he looked at Sebastian. He had a troop of fully-

armed soldiers behind him.

“Don’t you know? When your grandfather led the troops to stabilize the war in Smallpoint, a vanguard

composed of more than a hundred men suddenly disappeared at Hallsbay. According to your

grandfather, the troop sacrificed their lives when seeking out the enemy’s location. The head of

administration of that time backed his statement. However, the survivor claimed that they did not die for

that cause. Instead, your grandfather sacrificed them during a deal he made with the rival country!”

“Nonsense! He would never do something like that!”

Utterly dumbfounded, Sebastian could only come up with such a weak refute.

Soon, the person from the military tribunal passed him a map.

Sebastian cast his gaze downward.

It was a military map.

However, two defense forts were labeled clearly on the map. It was even marked with a seal used back

in those days.
