NovelAppDean narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the video.
"I've worked beside Dean Jennings for fifteen years. | quit my job two years ago and returned hdue to a severe injury. For the
past year or so, I've been tormented, and every t| close my eyes, I'm haunted by countless spirits that died in vain because of
him... Throughout the fifteen years, I've worked for him, I've killed a total of eighteen people, including his lovers and children. Of
course, those children aren't really his children. Dean Jennings tells the world that they were his children to cover up the fact that
he had long lost the ability to make children!"
"Baam!"
Dean threw Sebastian's phone onto the ground, but the video was still playing.
"Eighteen lives, gone, simply because he wanted them gone. He had more bodyguards under his command killed... Even Dean
Jennings himself must have lost track on how many women and children died because of him."
"B*st*rd! Shut up! Shut up!" Dean barked and stomped ferociously on Sebastian's phone until the voice stopped.

Sebastian felt chills down his spine as he watched his father destroy his phone.
"Dad... Calm down." Dean was beginning to sway so Sebastian hurriedly helped him to the couch. "The video hasn't been
published yet. We can buy it off their hands."
Dean's head sank into his hands as he panted." Sebastian... I'll leave that to you! If you succeed, | will leave you a big portion of
the Jennings’ assets. If you fail... | will be left with no option but to find myself someone more capable..."
"I'll get at it right away, Dad," Sebastian said, before picking his phone off the ground and striding off.
Once Sebastian left, Dean immediately called on his most trusted man.
"Go find that traitor, Edward Brady! | paid him a lot of money when he quit, making sure he kept my secrets! How dare he do this
to me?! He must have a death
wish!" Dean wanted to have him killed. "Find him and kill him on sight!"
"Yes!"
"Hang on! Bring more men with you! He must have been bought over by someone else. And they must have offered him more
money."
"Rest assured. | will proceed with caution!"
Two hours later, Sebastian returned with a list. On it was the media firms ;h":SJV> the amount they were asking for the video.
Dean's blood boiled the moment he saw the list. "F*ck! They are all asking for too much! Do they takefor a fool?!"
"Dad, this thing can't go public. If the police get involved-"
"Who do you think you are talking about?! I'm friends with the top police forces! Besides, this is a family matter, who would dare
say anything?" Dean roared arrogantly.
Sebastian did not respond. If Dean truly did not care if the video was published, he would not be this furious.
"Can't they lower the price a little?" Dean asked after a moment of silence.

"I've tried, Dad. You know that these people rely on scandals like this to make a living. The content of that video is too big... It's not
a surprise that they are asking for this much," Sebastian explained.
"Fine! Very well! | will remember this! | will pay them, but let's see if they are lucky to live long enough to spend it!"
Sebastian understood what his father meant, but he knew that the scandal was the priority right now. It needed to be contained so
that it does not spread.
At six in the evening, Dean's financial assistant called him to inform him that all the transactions had been made in accordance
with the list.
Dean's heart ached from the loss and could barely take his dinner.
"Dean, it's just money. That's not that big a deal," Angela consoled him. "Once | win the Marshall's Award, there will be plenty of
ways that | can make more money."
"Are you certain that you are going to win?" Dean asked.
She nodded. "| received news today. It should be me."
