Sebastian returned to Frontier Bay and saw Ian sitting in the living room.
He thought Ian would be doing well in just half a month's time after his escapejudging from what the other children
had secretly informed him.
However, Ian now looked nothing like what he had expected.
"What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Did you get into a fight?" Sebastian asked bewilderedly.
He stood before Ian and saw that not only were his clothes dirty, but there were also various bruises on his face.
Sebastian grew furious. He had always thought Ian was the most obedient of his three children because he had
raised Ian himself.
Ian had always followed the rules and behaved wisely since he was little. He would never get into a fight.
Therefore, Sebastian wondered what had happened to Ian.
"Yesterday, your Aunt Susan sent me a message saying you are coming home. But you sent me another message
later saying that you won't be returning. What is going on?"
Ian sat silently on the couch for a few minutes before turning to Sebastian and said, "Daddy, why did you keep
Eddie's descendants as a part of the Jadeson family? Aren't you worried that the people will criticize you if the
matter is exposed?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What do you mean?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
Why is Ian suddenly asking such a strange question? Did something happen to him? Did the remnants of Eddie’s
followers find him and speak to him?
Sebastian was an intelligent man. He went through every possibility in his head within a few seconds.
"Why should I be worried? Your Aunt Susan and her brother have nothing to do with Eddie other than being his
blood relations. They were never involved in any matters related to him."
"Then... does that mean you won't take it to heart if someone threatens you with this matter?"
Sebastian's words were like a cardiac stimulant, reviving Ian's depressed heart.
Sebastian continued to observe Ian.
He had raised Ian, so he could see that something was wrong with him.
He did not answer Ian's question but called Wendy, the housemaid, to prepare a bath for Ian and get him to rest
before calling Karl over.
"I want you to investigate what happened to Ian in Yeringham yesterday."
"Mr. Hayes, do you mean..." Karl instantly sensed that something was wrong upon hearing Sebastian's instruction.
"He's been asking me about Susan and Eddie's relationship since he came back. I want you to investigate what
Susan is hiding. When I was at the university, I found it strange that a girl like her could keep escaping from being in
danger from Eddie's men."
Sebastian's expression turned solemn, and his tone suddenly grew cold as he spoke.
Karl understood what Sebastian meant and immediately began an investigation.
By evening that day, Sebastian received a message from Karl when he was having dinner with Ian in the dining
room.
Kart: Mr. Hayes, I have finished investigating. Someone saw Mr. Ian and Susan arguing at a market in Xendale. Mr.
Ian was angry, and Susan kept crying. He walked away after that.
Sebastian: Where did he go?
Karl: He didn't go far but went to a bus station and wrecked it. The police arrested him and brought him to the
police station.
Karl had to gather his courage to break this shocking news to Sebastian.
He found it hard to believe that Ian had been arrested and brought to the police station. As far as he could
remember, Ian was the most obedient of Sebastian's three children. Yet, Ian managed to get himself into serious
trouble.
It was more severe than what Matteo had done.
Sebastian did not reply to Karl's message but glanced at Ian, who was sitting opposite him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIan noticed Sebastian's gaze and did not know what to say.
He felt the surrounding air suddenly turn chilly and began to eat slowly.
Thankfully, the oppressing aura from Sebastian did not persist. Soon, Sebastian's phone vibrated again. His
expression calmed down tremendously as he saw the message.
Karl: I have found out what happened. It was a person called Kilian Glen who called Susan. I don't know what they
talked about, but I discovered that he's Susan's neighbor.
Sebastian: Her neighbor?
Karl: Yes. I have also finished investigating your suspicion about what happened to Susan at the university. She had
spoken to Kilian on the phone a few times then.
It was no wonder that Karl was the leader of SteelFort. He could find all this information within a short time.
Sebastian suddenly had on a cold look again.
He could be tolerant and magnanimous to others.
However, he could not tolerate anyone who messed around right under his nose. He had told Susan that she was
free to choose her path, but he would not hesitate to retaliate if she chose the wrong path.
"Daddy, I... I have something to tell you," Ian piped up.
Sebastian looked at him in astonishment. "What's the matter?"
"I... fought with Susan yesterday. She suddenly received a call and chased me away. It was around the time she
sent you the message."q
