The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1301

The Minamoto family?

Sasha did not know much about Jetroina. Hence, the family name did not ring a bell.

However, since the man in front of her said that it was a good choice, she felt more relieved and did not

worry about the matter anymore. She channeled all of her focus on receiving treatment in Jetroina after

Solomon had returned home.

Needless to say, Sebastian was by her side, taking care of her all the while.

One day, Karl came over and updated him with a piece of unexpected news.

“Mr. Hayes, I think I saw Mr. Cooper just now.”

What?

Sebastian, who was holding some medicine, stopped what he was doing and turned his head.

Seeing his expression, Karl immediately whipped out his smartphone and showed Sebastian the

picture he took.

Indeed, the man in the photo was Edmund.

Though the car was speeding off, Karl’s average photography skills still managed to capture a clear

angle of the man inside the car. It was confirmed to be Edmund, who had left unannounced upon

rescuing Sebastian from the basement of the Sheerwood residence.

Why is he in Jetroina? Sebastian frowned.

“Go and investigate his purpose of coming over here. If it’s for leisure, leave him alone,” he instructed.

Soon, Karl left.

Initially, Sebastian wanted to thank Edmund in proper once everything blew over.

He had two reasons to do so. First, he was the one who sent Edmund back to Yorksland back then.

Second, the other man had also saved him in the nick of time.

Therefore, Sebastian wanted to repay him somehow.

However, Edmund mysteriously disappeared and had not shown up anywhere since. Later on, Devin

managed to contact him, but he declined all gestures of appreciation.

Edmund had always been a loafer who had no desire whatsoever for power and money.

Seeing that he could not get Edmund to change his mind, Sebastian ended up doing nothing about it.

So, he was not too surprised to hear that Karl spotted Edmund in Jetroina. To him, the possibility of the

latter traveling here to look for entertainment was high.

Reality soon proved that Sebastian’s speculation was correct. That evening, Karl paid him a visit at the

hospital and reported that Edmund had gone to a casino. The latter even had a jolly good time with a

bunch of ladies, indulging in all sorts of hedonistic desires.

“He’s really something else. Isn’t it better to stay in Jadeborough and let Devin find him a good job?

Why must he come all the way here to seek pleasure?”

Sasha overheard their conversation in the ward. She, too, had the impression that Edmund was not

much of an ambitious fellow.

It did not cross her mind that some people naturally possessed a languid demeanor and never liked to

be constrained.

Then, they dropped the topic.

Later that night, Sebastian was surprised at the turn of events. Edmund had run into a spot of trouble at

the casino!

“Mr. Cooper, you’ve lost many rounds already. Do you intend to continue?”

On a table filled with chips, a Jetroinian man sitting opposite Edmund saw that he had run out of chips.

With a cigar in his mouth, he asked the question with a smirk.

Edmund would never admit defeat. Thus, he waved his hand, and tens of millions worth of poker chips

were instantly delivered to him.

“Absolutely! I’m just getting warmed up.”

Therefore, the session resumed.

After gambling for another four to five rounds of high-stake games, Edmund lost again and again. The

man from the Cooper family who accompanied him on this trip started sensing something was off.

“Mr. Edmund, let’s call it a day and head back. It’s getting late.”

“Why should we go back? I have vast experience in casinos. I don’t believe that I can’t even win a

game here!” the scion bellowed.

He then added another thirty million in order to recover whatever he had lost.

In truth, it was a piece of cake for someone equipped with his skills to win money from the casino. After

all, he had been operating a casino in Yorksland for years. It was impossible for him not to know the

cheating tactics used by casinos.

Yet, strangely enough, his thirty million vanished just like that once more.

It was as if luck had abandoned him. He could never get the card he wanted, and each hand dealt was

utterly horrible.

“Mr. Edmund…”

“Mr. Cooper, one more round perhaps?” the man stared at him with a bright smile and asked.

Edmund narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he slammed his palm on the table and requested, “I want to

check the security footage. Someone get me the surveillance and monitoring records now!”

Security footage?

A commotion broke out among the crowd at the casino. At that instant, all eyes were fixated on him.

Requesting for the security footage implied that the other party was cheating. In other words, it was a

huge issue which alerted everyone. Should the alleged action be true, it could lead to a bloody

consequence.

The atmosphere grew tense, causing the Coopers’ subordinate to panic.

This is not our home ground. It’s best we keep a low profile instead of kicking up a big fuss.

Thus, he pulled Edmund’s sleeve and persuaded him, “Just let it slide, Mr. Edmund. Let’s go.”

Right when Edmund was about to say something, the person who gambled with him stood up.

“Sure, let’s satisfy Mr. Cooper’s wish. Go ahead and bring the footage from the control room.”

“Duly noted, Mr. Kondo.” The staff at the casino obeyed the command given.

This feels really off. Why would the accused offer to bring out the footage? Furthermore, our earlier few

gambling sessions were questionable.
