Despite Sebastianâs non-response, Tiffany continued screaming and hurling threats at him which irked
him further. Once again, his gun was pointed at her.
âIâll ask you again. Where is Charles?â
âI dare you to kill me! Iâmâ¦â
Bang!
He pulled the trigger instantly.
This time around, Sebastian aimed for her other shoulder. Due to the close proximity, the bullet bore a
hole right through her flesh and created a depression on the soil behind her.
âAhhhhhhhhh!â Her agonizing shrieks filled the air once more.
That zero-hesitation shot he made was plenty sufficient for Tiffany to know that this man was serious. He
could kill her right now if he wanted to. She felt fear coursing through her veins, so strong that she was
trembling amidst her pain.
Who is this psycho acting out here? Iâm Tiffany Jadeson for godâs sake!
âW-Who are you?â It took every ounce of courage left within her to ask.
âSebastian Hayes.â His choice to reply was already a benevolent act considering it came from him. Deep
down, he was trying his best to surpass his irritation.
Hearing his answer, Tiffany froze.
Heâs Sebastian? Shinâs son? The man even Dad and Eric could not get rid of!
Now that she unmasked his identity, everything about him from head to toe screamed terror. She hugged
herself into a ball, trying to make herself less conspicuous.
But the fear Tiffany felt for her life was so overwhelming, she misunderstood Sebastianâs purpose for
coming here and accidentally blurted out, âY-Youâre here to rescue Sabrina, arenât you? Iâll tell you her
whereabouts! Sheâs at Building 13, Seaview Apartment, Room 601. Sheâs still alive!â
Sebastian tilted his head slightly. This was obviously his sister they were talking about, yet he remained
unfazed. For the first time, Tiffany noticed how his pair of alluring eyes were hollow and cold, devoid of
any emotions. If eyes could kill, this would have been it.
âDonât make me repeat myself. Where is he?â
There was a few seconds of silence.
Bang!
That mere second of hesitation cost Tiffany one of her legs.
âAhhhhh!â At this point, after receiving three gunshots, she was bawling her eyes out from the intense
pain. âIâll tell you! P-Please donât shoot me anymore!â
That third gunshot was the last straw before she caved in. She was mere childâs play in front of a lunatic
like Sebastian.
âMy dadâs atâ¦â
Her sentence was interrupted by clueless Tyler, who entered the scene boisterously. âTiffany! We did it!
We finally did it!â
His appearance was like a god-sent for her as she started screaming desperately, âTyler! Kill this lunatic!â
Her only shred of hope was for this cousin of hers to be able to put up a fight against Sebastian. But, all it
took was a few seconds before her dreams came crashing down as she saw Sebastian point the gun at
Tyler in one swift motion. There was no time for the victim to even grapple with the situation.
Bang!
The bullet hit right between his brows.
Poor Tyler was dead without even knowing why.
âArghhhhhhhhhhh!â It was just screaming after that as his motionless body broke Tiffanyâs spirit
completely.
By the time Jonathan and his men arrived, the entire Jade Court was dyed with red like the aftermath of
a massacre. Many of the housemaids, bodyguards, Tiffany, and Tyler were either heavily injured or dead.
The situation would have been far worse if not for Devinâs father, Stephen, who had rushed over first to
subdue Sebastian.
âSebastian, what the hell are you doing? Do you really want to die that much?â Jonathan was trembling
with rage. He strode towards Sebastian, who was still under Stephenâs grasp and helped him up.
Stephen knew what was on his fatherâs mind. Since the latter could not kill Sebastian in the past, he
would not do so now either. Hence, he made sure to only immobilize Sebastian and not hurt him,
allowing his father to decide for himself how to discipline this guy.
Yet, Jonathan did nothing of that sort, surprising everyone.
Sebastian replied, âYouâre wrong. Theyâre the ones that are dead. Not me.â
âWhatâd you just say?â the old manâs anger was reaching a new peak as his face took on a hue of dark
red.
âYou imbecile! I dare you to repeat that. Iâll have you know, I can get rid of you right here and now!â His
murderous intent was clear as day as he took a gun from his adjutant.
On the other hand, Sebastian remained unfazed at his threat. There was even a confident smug
plastered on his still good-looking blood-splattered face. âWould you just stop it with those empty words?
I know you wonât kill me. Youâre not done redeeming your sins yet.â
âYou!â Jonathan was rendered speechless.
Seeing how the situation was taking a bad turn, Stephen hurriedly stepped in. âDad, calm down for a
moment! Sebastian probably has his reasons for going on a rampage! I heard Sabrinaâs kidnapping
incident was planned by Tyler and Tiffany!â
