Chapter 1407 What Is A Setup

She realized that he was silent for the longest time while he stared out of the helicopter, seemingly occupied with

his thoughts.

“Huh?”

Sebastian looked at her in confusion.

“What did you say?”

For no reason, Sasha’s heart sank.

She secretly clenched her fists to calm herself down before she repeated, “I said, what should we do when we go

back. Should we get Ian to do a check-up first?”

“Sure, though I’m afraid I can’t accompany you there. I have to make a trip to Jadeborough.”

“What?”

Sasha looked at him suspiciously.

Jadeborough? Why is he going there? Does he have anything to do there? Is he going there to look for Grayson?

Blood drained from her face.

“Darling…”

“Yes?”

Snapping out of his daze, the man finally looked more clear-headed when he heard her use an unusual term of

endearment for him.

It took him some time to realize that her face was pale, and she had fixated her beautiful eyes on him. They had a

mix of fear and panic in them.

What is this silly girl thinking? Did she think I’m going to go crazy again?

Helplessly, he stretched out his hand to grab her slender wrist resting on the table.

Like he had guessed, she had clenched her hands tightly into fists.

“You dummy, what are you thinking? Your husband is fine. I did not turn into someone else after such a big event.

Come on, could you have some faith in me?”

“Huh?”

Overwhelmed by terror, Sasha looked perplexed when she heard what he said.

“D-Didn’t you?”

“Of course not. I need to go to Jadeborough to look for the family members of those engineers and offer them

some compensation. After all, Shawn died because of me. I should bear the consequences of this event. But that

madwoman’s words don’t make sense. It’s like a case of rape, where the offender argues that the woman has

dressed skimpily to seduce him and force him into committing the crime. Do you think that adds up?”

The example did not seem appropriate at that time, especially in the presence of Ian.

Regardless, after hearing his words, Sasha could finally let go of her worries.

Well, what else can go wrong if he can use such an example?

She breathed out a sigh of relief.

Later on, when the family returned to Avenport, Sasha headed to the hospital with Ian while Sebastian headed

straight to Jadeborough.

Other than the reason he explained to Sasha, he also wanted to see the damage at the base. After all, the country

was now in turmoil, so they did not have much power.

That night, the family group chat also exploded because of the matter.

Mr. Wand: Are you telling me that Little Ian went over because of that woman’s scheme?

Sabrina: What the hell? I’m furious! Too bad we can’t retrieve her corpse. Otherwise, I will whip her corpse to make

sure she can’t rest in peace.

Ichika: Me too!

Devin: I’m not asking…

Everyone was livid.

At the thought of Sasha being in danger, and Ian, who was barely eleven years old, being that close to dying in

Leah’s hands, they shook with anger.

However, after that night, they discovered that Sebastian had made a shocking decision.

Jonathan exclaimed, “Are you sure you still want to send Little Ian to the research institute? Also, are you going to

fund the reconstruction of the base by yourself? Let me remind you that it’s not a small cost.”

The old man was more agitated. From his perspective, whatever his grandson had said did not make sense. They

were illogical, no matter how hard he thought about it.

Besides, Ian had almost lost his life there.

And now, he was sent back there again.

The investment made even less sense for him. Although Leah had mentioned it, what did it have to do with him?

Any sound individual would not have come up with such an idea.

That night, the young man stayed in his study. He stared at a painting of a green pine hanging on the wall and had

no reservations about his plan.

“The incident killed almost two-thirds of the top engineers at the research institute. You might have an army, but

without the high-tech weapons, how long do you think you could hold it out against your opponents? Also, Ian is my

son. If we don’t use his talents, what is the point of having them in the first place? As one of the nation’s leaders, I

don’t think you should worry about all that. You should think about how we can employ more people like Ian

instead.”

Sebastian ended up reverting a question to Jonathan.

The man, nearing his eighties, stood behind Sebastian and had nothing to say.

All he felt was shame and guilt.
