Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“Yes.” Jonathan finally opened his mouth.

He looked haggard, as though he had suddenly aged rapidly within one night. With utter weariness in

his bloodshot eyes, he gave a wave.

Soon after, someone from the military base brought in a surveillance tape.

As silence ensued in the whole congress hall, everyone held their breath and fixed their eyes on the

huge LED screen. After a while, a scene from the surveillance footage came into view.

They saw a black figure sneak into the military base in the darkness. Soon, they were startled and

gasped unbelievably at the most baffling moment.

Crack! Miraculously, the door to the confidential district opened right after the black figure keyed in the

passcodes and had their fingerprint scanned.

“My goodness! Am I seeing things? Did they just unlock the combination lock?” someone yelled out in

disbelief.

What the hell is happening? How did that person manage to open the door of the confidential district in

the military base? Only those of the higher ranks from the military base have the right to access this

door, don’t they?

All of them gaped at the LED screen. No doubt, the restrictions in the military base were nothing new to

them.

There was finally a slight change in Sebastian’s countenance. He arched his brows and sneered

inwardly. My, my, I can’t believe that old man actually dared to play that surveillance footage in front of

everyone!

“Old Mr. Jadeson, what does this mean? Do you mean to say that someone actually sneaked into the

military base and set your grandson up?” one of the congressmen asked warily.

“That’s right!” Without hesitation, Jonathan gritted his teeth and nodded.

His words resulted in another wave of turbulence in the congress hall. Everyone freaked out completely

and started to lambast in exasperation. All this while, the military base played an important role in

defending the nation and ensuring the safety of all the citizens. Therefore, they could not accept the

fact that such a highly confidential district in the military base could be intruded on by anyone

effortlessly.

“Who is that person? Did you manage to trace their identity? By hook or by crook, we must drag them

out and finish them off at once!” one of the congressmen snarled.

Another congressman fumed, “Yeah, how could anyone provoke our military department with such

insolence? What are we in their eyes, huh? Pfft! They surely had the audacity to intrude our highly

confidential district in such a carefree way!”

“D*mn it! What nonsense!” the congressman next to him echoed.

Within seconds, sounds of chiding and whining were reverberating from every corner of the congress

hall, resulting in a massive wave of turmoil.

The military base was not a public region accessible by anyone. Thus, they were worried sick when

someone had actually intruded on the security system that they had been proud of all the time.

In the meantime, the Chief Prosecutor tossed Jonathan a glance. Deep down, he hoped that Jonathan

would reveal the intruder’s identity himself. He could not resist sympathizing with Jonathan and did not

have the heart to urge him in front of everyone.

When he glanced at the members from the Cabinet Council of the White House instinctively, he was

stunned at their nonchalance. Unexpectedly, there were even hints of unmissable anticipation in their

countenance, as though they could barely wait to watch a show.

What is going on? Why do they look as cool as ever? No doubt, Stephen Jadeson was the one who

gave the intruder the passcode and the fingerprint chip. Even so, they are the mastermind manipulating

everything, aren’t they? The Chief Prosecutor gulped as he felt alarm bells ringing in his head.

“He…” Before he could finish his words, Jonathan cut him off at once and stood up instantaneously.

“You don’t have to ask him anything. I will answer this question myself!”

Sebastian was dumbfounded and rendered speechless.

On the other hand, Stephen, who sat next to his father, felt his heart sink. “Dad…”

“That person was able to sneak into the military base effortlessly because someone told him the

passcode for this combination lock and gave him the fingerprint chip! And that despicable someone is

none other than my unfilial son seated beside me now!” Jonathan revealed everything, placing

righteousness above his son without a second thought.

Next, he turned and glared at his panic-stricken son with his bloodshot eyes that were filled with

unbridled fury.

Sebastian clenched his fists. Eventually, he turned away from them, reluctant to spare the fiasco that

was playing out before him another glance.

Jonathan’s words were indeed a bolt out of the blue, striking everyone in the congress hall.

My goodness! Are we hearing things? Old Mr. Jonathan’s son was the culprit? But why did he set Yariel

Jadeson up? Aren’t they a family? As Shin Jadeson’s elder brother, he should have showered his

nephew with fatherly love on behalf of his late brother. So why did he have the heinous mind to frame

his nephew instead? How could he have the heart to do so to the flesh and blood of his late brother?

After glaring at his son for quite a while, Jonathan threw a punch at him and bellowed in utter anguish,

“Well? Speak! What are you still intending to hide from us? Why did you do that to your own nephew?”

It was as though blood was trickling down from his heart. Everyone could even sense the excruciating

pain in his bellow of fury and anguish. At the sight of Jonathan, who had turned crimson with fury and

was panting breathlessly as he trembled uncontrollably, they could not resist fearing that the old man

would collapse at any moment.

Fortunately, Stephen gave in and opened his mouth at last.
