It is what it is.

The fun was just starting when Luke barged into the room. “Mr. Hayes, someone is looking for you.”

The assistant looked a little off. Or Sasha could be reading too much into it. She thought she saw the

subtle fear in his eyes.

Fear?

Luke has seen it all as Sebastian’s assistant. Who could scare him?

Sebastian shrugged it off. He couldn’t care less about the situation.

“Who is it? I’ve met everyone who has an appointment with me this morning. The rest is scheduled

later in the afternoon.”

“You are right. But this person, he showed up unannounced.”

Luke was disgruntled.

Sebastian was even more pissed off. However, his client whispered in his ears, “Mr. Hayes, why don’t

you take a look downstairs. The matter might be urgent. Don’t worry about me, I’m not going

anywhere.”

He toasted his unfinished drink.

Sebastian frustratedly stood up and headed toward the living room.

Luke then whispered into his ears. Immediately, there was a drastic change in his expression. The

blush from all the alcohol consumption instantly dissipated.

Sasha was speechless and confused.

Who could it be?

Nonetheless, she was a mere outsider who knew her place. It didn’t take long before she moved on

and continued to entertain the client.

Meanwhile, Sebastian entered his office. There was a man dressed in black with a very dominating

presence. His chiseled features lent credence to his radiating confidence. He merely stood there, but

the air surrounding him was ice cold.

“I believe you must be Mr. Hayes. Nice to meet you. My name is Eric, Devin’s cousin.”

The mysterious man held out his hand politely to greet Sebastian as he introduced himself.

Eric?

The younger generation of the Jadesons came knocking, after all.

Sebastian stood there motionlessly. His hands remained tucked in his pockets while he stared glacially

at Eric with his gloomy eyes.

“What do you want?” his reply was unwelcoming.

…

It was Eric’s first encounter with someone who treated him with such disrespect. Naturally, he was

angry.

Nevertheless, he managed to keep his emotions in check.

“Here’s the thing. Previously, my cousin was trying to bring back Uncle Shin’s wife, who is also your

maternal aunt. His efforts are to no avail and he is now being punished for it. After some deliberation,

my family sent me over to ask you for the kind favor,” replied Eric.

My aunt?

Sebastian’s stare intensified, exuding hostility.

“She’s dead. What do you want? Her corpse?”

“You are right. Since she is Shin’s spouse, she should rightfully be with the Jadesons, dead or alive.”

Eric had no intention of hiding the truth.

In actual fact, he knew the President of Hayes Corporation very well.

Devin’s friends undoubtedly comprised a specific group of people with Jake and Shawn, who grew up

together in Jadeborough, being his closest.

Growing up in families with military background, their influence or status was at a whole different level

and they initially shunned Sebastian, a man from the business sector.

Subsequently, they discovered that the latter, despite his young age, was the owner of a prominent

business corporation worldwide. Naturally, their perception changed.

Truth be told, the influence of wealth brought tremendous benefits.

Eric was expecting a positive reply from his cousin’s bestie.

“What for? To defile her corpse?” Sebastian sarcastically replied.

“What did you say?” Eric was in a state of disbelief.

His eyes widened in shock and fury as Sebastian returned to his seat, unaffected.

“Sebastian Hayes, what do you mean? Are you doubting the Jadesons?” The hostility was evident now

that he gave up the charade of being a gentleman.

Sebastian gazed at him with immense hatred and disdain.

“Doubt? It’s the truth! When Frieda married Shin, your family wanted to murder her even though she

was eight months pregnant! If it wasn’t for my father, she would already be dead long before!” He

unleashed his bottled-up anger.

…

“If you Jadesons treated her as a family member, then why would there be shots fired at her without

mercy? Do you really think I wouldn’t know that Devin didn’t send those men?”

The last sentence was akin to a tight slap on Eric’s face, humiliating him.

It was true. The group of men that came with Devin did not answer to him.

It was a backup plan. The Jadesons sent Devin to bring Frieda back from Avenport., but they also sent

a separate team for the same mission.
