Sebastian, on the other hand, was exceptionally calm as he placed his glass down like he had just
taken care of a huge problem.
Given how critical the situation is, Yancy is bound to send a more ruthless assassin if she goes to see
Sasha again! If she has Sasha at her mercy, then Hayes Corporation would fall into hers and
Solomon’s hands! Sasha would become the hated person to both Hayes Corporation and
Sebastian! This is way too scary! Do I have to be so ruthless to come up with such an elaborate and
cruel scheme just to make her leave me? If I do this, there’s no turning back for us.
“Mr. Hayes… Do you really want to do this? How will you reconcile with Mrs. Hayes afterward? There
will be no turning back!” Luke asked anxiously.
“Do you think the Jadesons will give me a way out?” Sebastian asked with a sarcastic smile. His words
pierced into Luke’s heart like an icy blade, causing the latter to go pale and speechless in response.
He’s right… There’s no way that military family would show him any mercy… Looks like this will be a

all he could do.
Eventually, Luke left with tears in his eyes.
Karl, who was guarding Frieda’s body the whole time, received the orders to cremate her secretly and
send the ashes to SteelFort for temporary storage.
SteelFort was the core of Hayes Corporation’s forces, was established by Frederick and later inherited
by Sebastian after his death.
It was built in a secluded location with an incredibly strong defense composed of all the elites in Hayes
Corporation that was so powerful even the world’s top special forces would have a hard time breaking
through its defenses.
Karl retrieved Frieda’s body from the morgue immediately upon receiving the order, but several burly
young men intercepted his team before they made it out of the hospital.
The men did not have any special equipment on them and looked no different from an ordinary civilian.
Anyone who saw them would’ve assumed they were patients seeking treatment at the hospital, but that
wasn’t the case with Karl.
Being a former member of an international special forces unit, he noticed the men had an air of military
training about them and immediately pulled his gun on them. “Retreat!”
Bang!
Karl opened fire right after alerting his men, and the gunshot sent the entire lobby into a state of chaos
as everyone scrambled to safety.
Enraged at being forced into cover, the men were about to launch a counter-assault to seize the body.
However, the Hayes’ highly-trained bodyguards had already escorted Frieda’s body outside under
Karl’s instructions.
“Damn, these a*sholes are better than we thought!”
The men sent by the Jadesons were furious as they watched their target escape from under their
noses.
One of them then sent a message using his high-tech military wristwatch, prompting the few black cars
that had been lying in wait outside to promptly give chase like a pack of hungry wolves.

The intense chase went on for over ten minutes before Sebastian received word about the ambush
from Karl.
“I’ve underestimated them, Mr. Hayes! Eric has sent a team of their most elites after us!” Karl shouted
while panting heavily on the phone.
The look on Sebastian’s face changed instantly when he heard that.
I knew Eric came prepared, but an entire team of elites? That’s a little more than I had expected… The
Jadesons sure are going all out just to confirm my identity!
With that in mind, he hung up the phone and gave Calvin Woods a call. “Karl has run into some trouble.
Go help him out.”
“Yes, Mr. Hayes!”
A voice similar to Channing’s was heard on the phone before ending the call shortly after.
Calvin was Channing’s younger brother. He was put in charge of SteelFort ever since Channing died
after avenging Frederick in Jetroina.
Having received the order, Calvin headed out with a couple of his men to assist Karl.
