What?
Instantly, Devinâs expression changed, and he stopped in his tracks.
He fervently denied, âWhat are you talking about? Why wonât I be happy about it?â
âThereâs no need to lie to me. Iâm not Sabrina anyway.â Solomon saw through him and unapologetically
pointed out the facts.
It left Devin speechless.
Staring down at the man in the wheelchair, he finally spoke after some time. âI might have to go back
again.â
âDoes this have to do with the Jadesons?â Solomon asked.
Surprised, Devin blurted, âDo you know what happened?â
âNope, but I have noticed how distracted you seem over the last few days, so it wasnât hard to guess.â
Solomon shrugged.
Instead of telling Devin about the men he sent to Jadeborough to look into the matter, Solomon passed
it off as something he picked up from the other manâs behavior.
Nonetheless, he heard nothing substantial from the people he sent there. The only news he received
was the troubles the Jadesons seemed to be facing.
Two people had passed on.
âYes, I do have some problems and have to head back to resolve them. As for Sabrina-â
Solomon interrupted. âHow long do you need to be there?â
At once, Devinâs eyes lit up, and he stated, âI wonât be away for long. It will take about two to three
days, and Iâll hurry back.â
Two to three days? That isnât too long.
Letting out a breath of relief, Solomon assured him, âSure. You donât have to worry about Sabrina
because I will care for her. Go ahead and do what you have to do.â
Not only did he support Devinâs decision to head home, but he also did so without any terms.
The tightly knitted brows on Devinâs face finally loosened, and the worry in his eyes had also
disappeared. He could finally put aside his concerns now.
What was there to worry about when Solomon would be there to take care of Sabrina?
The same day, Devin left the hospital.
Of course, he did not tell Solomon the truth. Instead of returning to Jadeborough, he booked a
helicopter from Jetroina and flew to Zarain as soon as he could.
At Avenport, Sebastian was pondering over the matter too.
Ever since Jocelyn died, Karl told him that the person he went up against was a force to be reckoned
with. The man had the audacity and skills to murder Jocelyn in front of him.
Therefore, Sebastian realized that the situation might be grimmer than he thought.
Karl was a top agent he personally recruited from the foreign forces.
Yet, the other man was able to kill Jocelyn under his nose.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Hayes. I wasnât a good enough match for him. Things might have turned out differently if
Calvin were there.â Karl lowered his head in guilt.
Calvin?
Sebastian felt as though he was stabbed in the heart when he heard that name.
He felt the pain spread through his body, and he could even feel it in his bones.
It was a name that would haunt him for life.
âAll right. You can put up a bounty for people in the underworld who can identify this man. He must not
be an ordinary man since he could kill a person with a scalpel in such a clean way. Offer a handsome
amount of money, and Iâm sure someone will be willing to dig out all the information we need.â
If Sebastian was not a president of a company and sitting in an office like this, Karl thought he could
pass off as a mafia boss.
Soon, Karl left the room.
That afternoon, Sasha was also dealing with the Jadesonsâ matters. Funnily, she was not out and
about, but she was comforting someone over the phone.
Janice: Sasha, I canât do it anymore. If I continue, I might go crazy.
While having breakfast, Sasha was staring at her phone all morning.
When the notification of Janiceâs text popped out in her phone, she could barely swallow her calzone.
She canât do it anymore? Does it mean she doesnât want to take charge of the Oceanic Estate? How
can that work? Without her, who else can take her reins? We canât hand it back to Old Mr. Jadeson.
After swallowing her calzone, Sasha could only try to comfort Janice patiently.
Sasha: Aunt Janice, donât rush things! Why canât you do it anymore? Tell me about it in detail.
Janice: This has to do with your aunt. You have no idea how many nightmares I have had in the last
few days. Iâm waking up from my slumber every other hour.
Janice started complaining.
Meanwhile, Sasha furrowed her brows.
She did hear of Jocelynâs death that morning. Everyone was talking about her being murdered, and she
had been too shocked to respond then.
It was too sudden.
Therefore, it was only natural for her to feel scared.
Sasha: Aunt Janice, this has nothing to do with you, so you donât have to take it to heart.
Janice: That is not it. The people at The Ataraxy said they saw her anxiously running out of here, but
she never returned. They only found her corpse floating at the pier when Colton ordered a search for
her.
Janice decided to send another text.
Janice: Then, I went there with Olivia to see it for ourselves. In the end, I had to witness that scene.
Sasha, you have to understand that I canât take it anymore.
In the last message, she sent a series of crying emojis.
Staring at the messages, Sasha took a long time to process them, not sure how to comfort Janice.
