However, before he could react, Sasha continued, âYou donât have to lie to me as I have found your
location. Come clean with me now, or I will go straight to where you are.â
âNo, donât!â Calvin protested with an anxious tone, revealing his breathlessness.
Sasha was stunned.
After a long pause, Calvin finally replied, âMrs. Hayes, please⦠please donât come over. You will only
distract Mr. Hayes.â
His words caused Sasha to tremble.
Seized by fear, she could no longer control her emotions. She shrieked, âWhy? What is he doing? Calvin,
what are you hiding from me? Huh?â
âNo, Mrs. Hayes. Iâm really⦠not hiding anything from you.â
âYouâre lying!â Sashaâs rage intensified. âI can hear the breathlessness in your voice. Itâs obvious that you
are injured. Calvin, donât forget that Iâm a doctor!â
This time Calvin fell silent over the line.
Does he think that Iâm not aware of his situation? I heard with my own ears the officer telling his
subordinate that Calvin was responsible for detonating the bomb at Havenhall. With thirty-three people
dead, how could he have escaped unscathed? What about Sebastian? Is he all right?
Tears rolled down Sashaâs cheeks. âCalvin, Iâm already in Jadeborough and have gone to the nightclub. I
know what happened to the both of you.â
Calvin was stumped.
After a long while, a bitter and raspy voice replied, âMrs. Hayes, donât worry. Mr. Hayes is fine. He left
before the explosion.â
âReally?â
âYes. Iâm not lying to you. He is meeting with Mr. Pence right now. They have an appointment and Mr.
Hayes will be boarding a ship in half an hour.â
Finally, Calvin came clean with Sasha. His words had put her mind at ease.
She was so delighted that she shed tears of joy.
Is he telling the truth? Is Sebastian going back? It would be wonderful if it is true. In that case, I can go
home and wait for him.
After leaving the cybercafe, Sasha planned to find a place to rest and await further news.
However, the moment she stepped out, she heard the rotating rotors of a helicopter about her head. The
entire scene made her feel as if she was in a war movie.
Sasha was stunned by the sight.
When she regained her senses shortly, the mind blanked out and she began to flee.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was indeed at the port waiting for Shawn.
Ever since his relationship with the Jadesons was revealed, Shawn and Jake didnât keep in touch with
him.
However, the day Sebastian decided to come to Jadeborough, Shawn came to see him on his own
accord.
He said, âSebastian, due to family reasons, I cannot interfere with Devin and your affairs. However, if you
really want to go to Jadeborough, come see me at the port. No matter what, Iâll help you leave.â
At that time, Sebastian didnât take it seriously as he had no plans to leave.
However, ever since he heard Calvinâs words, he had the sudden urge to head to the port.
It was six in the evening at the docks. The evening sky was on its last legs while the temperature dipped
drastically. Karl, who was feeling impatient, began to question, âMr. Hayes, Mr. Pence isnât here yet. Did
he stand us up?â
Sebastian didnât respond.
Sitting inside the car silently, he kept staring ahead without showing any emotion. The tired look on his
face was covered by the shadows of the faint evening light.
Karl didnât say another word.
Instead, he alighted from the car to take a look. If Shawn really wasnât coming, he had to start making
other plans.
However, the moment he got out, a white Cadillac finally appeared. As the sky was growing dark rapidly,
it looked like a leopard dashing toward the docks.
The moment Shawn arrived, he unexpectedly suggested, âSebastian, thereâs no way out of the docks.
Shall we go by flight?â
Karl was outraged by the proposal. âCome on, Mr. Pence. Why are you telling us this now? Donât you
know Mr. Hayes has just wiped out Charlesâ entire team? And yet, youâre suggesting that he should take
another route?â
Shawn was speechless.
âThey have a private jet that the military has no authority to question,â Sebastian suddenly remarked
from the car.
Shawn shifted his attention away from Karl to look in Sebastianâs direction instead.
âThatâs right. I have made the necessary arrangements. You should head over now as they are ready for
you.â
âAll right,â Sebastian readily agreed.
Karl who was left in the car was dumbfounded.
Thatâs right. How could I have forgotten? The Pence family was involved in the countryâs secret research.
Other than the nationâs leaders, no one else had the authority to question them.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
With that, Karl happily followed Shawn as they drove away.
However, they didnât expect Charles to be so desperate to kill Sebastian that he disregarded the Pence
family.
Bam!
A loud noise rang out.
Sitting in the driverâs seat, Shawn saw something heavy crash onto his windscreen. The impact caused
him to hit his head onto the steering wheel.
The car, with Shawn inside, overturned and spun off the highway.
