NovelAppSasha: It’s nothing much. Just wanted to let you know that Shanae’s scheme did not turn out well.
Sebastian managed to scare Old Mr. Woods. And of course, Devin is not willing to marry Shanae as
well.
The last sentence was the crucial one.
Sabrina, who was on the other end of the phone, went silent for a couple of minutes after receiving the
message.
Sabrina: This has nothing to do with me anymore.
Sasha: Actually, you can tell him about that night. It doesn’t matter whether the both of you will end up
together or not. I think there are some things that you still need to fight for it. How will you know how he
actually feels if you aren’t honest with him?
Sabrina: Then why did you run away back then with your two children to a foreign country without even
telling Sebastian?
Sasha fell silent as Sabrina had poked her sore spot.
However, she understood that both of them were similar in the sense that they were not willing to rub
salt on their own wound when they were already in a miserable state. They would rather leave with
dignity.
Hence, Sasha did not pressure Sabrina further.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNonetheless, the former still gave the latter a word of assurance. Even though Sabrina would not be
marrying Devin, there was no way Shanae would be part of the Jadesons with Sasha around.
At District 13 of the military base, Jonathan finally found Devin, who was in a heated conversation with
his commanders, with Mark’s help.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, you are finally here!”
“We’ve been waiting for you, Old Mr. Jadeson!”
The commanders looked as though they saw their lifesaver upon Jonathan’s arrival as tears of relief
streamed down their cheeks.
After all, the people from the military base were rather loyal to Jonathan.
Jonathan gestured the commanders to leave with a wave of his hand. After that, he stayed in the office,
staring straight at Devin, who remained composed and showed no hint of repentance.
“Tell me. What are you planning to do?” Jonathan asked calmly, eventually heeding Mark’s advice to
suppress his anger.
Devin was shocked that Jonathan, who had always been hot-tempered, did not lose his temper and
slam the table as he usually would.
Seeing that Jonathan showed no sign of anger, he replied honestly, “Nothing much. I just wanted to
have a look at the world outside.”
“Have a look outside?” Jonathan struggled to rein in his anger. “Where?”
“Overseas. I want to go to an architecture school in Yartran to further my studies. After all, this is my
passion. I’ve contacted the school and will go over once I’ve resigned,” answered Devin. He had no
intention of hiding the truth.
A fresh swell of rage rose in Jonathan at once.
He did not say a word but lifted his arm instead and gave Devin a slap.
The slap was loud and crisp that even those outside the office could hear it.
“You want to go overseas? The nerve of you to make such a decision! Do you think you can do
whatever you want just because your parents died? Just you wait! I’m definitely going to break your
legs today!”
Following that, the office was filled with a loud smashing sound.
Mark, who was outside, was about to rush in upon hearing everything.
However, the commanders immediately stopped him. “I think it’s better that you don’t enter. It’s no good
for an outsider to get involved in someone else’s family affairs. You’ll only complicate things if you
enter.”
Mark was getting worried and anxious. “But if I don’t enter now, Old. Mr. Jadesons might really beat Mr.
Devin to death!”
Mark’s words about Jonathan were rather terrifying.
Truth be told, with Jonathan’s personality, coupled with his experience in the army, it was very likely
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat he would not be able to control his strength if he were to beat Devin up.
Bang!
Just when Mark finished his sentence, he heard another smashing sound from the office. Right after
that, a low grunt could be heard.
“I’m warning you, Devin. I would rather beat a b*stard like you to death than let you walk out from this
military base!”
Everyone shuddered upon hearing the brutal and frightening threat from the office.
Devin fell on the floor after withstanding beatings from Jonathan. He then spat out blood from his
mouth and smirked. “Sure! Beat me to death then! You’re a weakling if you don’t!”
“You—”
This was the most rebellious remark Devin had ever made.
At that instant, Jonathan lost his rationality.
He picked up a chair and was about to smash it at Devin.
However, at that moment, Jonathan met Devin’s sharp gaze, which was filled with hatred, reluctance,
and rage. The former was stunned as the chair that was in his hands remained in midair.
Jonathan had never seen this side of him before.
This child has always been gentle and humble since young. He has always been obedient and mature
in front of me. He’s even known as the role model of the Jadesons. But why is he looking at me like
this?
“Why aren’t you hitting me? Well, it’ll be great if you can beat me to death. I will not be able to head out
again and you will be free from all your worries.”
