At the end of the day, he was nothing more than an ordinary man. The rumors stated that he was a cold-
blooded father even after Shin’s death.
But in truth, no one knew that he had spent a lot of time mourning in Shin’s study, usually for the entire
night.
Therefore, he was especially delighted to see the three children.
As to whether he meant Sebastian or Shin when he made his comment, it was impossible to know.
“That’s right. They do look very much like him. In Avenport, whoever sees them will immediately
recognize them as Sebastian’s kids.”
“Is that so? What about the little girl? Why can’t I find a clearer photo of her?” Jonathan questioned.
Gripped by anxiety, Sabrina quickly thought of an excuse. “The little girl is mischievous and doesn’t like
taking photos. Besides, I wasn’t in Avenport often.”
“I see.”
Jonathan let out a look of disappointment.
However, he didn’t press the issue any further.
Only then did Sabrina flee the study after the close shave.
The moment she stepped out, she ran into Devin who had come to look for her after realizing she had
been gone long. She grabbed onto his hand and quickly pulled him aside.
“What am I going to do? Your grandpa is asking about the three children.”
“What?”
Devin’s expression drastically changed.
“What did you tell him?”
“What else can I say? Given the perilous condition your family is in, it’s not even safe for my brother, let
alone the children. I’m not confident the old man can protect them,” Sabrina answered in exasperation.
Devin didn’t respond.
Sabrina was right. Although Sebastian himself had done many things, Charles, Connor, and Candice
were out for his blood.
Furthermore, they had managed to deal him serious injury every time.
The facts showed that Jonathan was unable to protect him.
If an adult could fall into such a situation, what more three defenseless children.
Devin sighed. “Fine. Just don’t say anything. I’ll continue to monitor his actions.”
“Mmm-hmm. Just to cover my tracks, I had to mention Calvin just now. Hence, he may start looking for
him. Since Calvin is Sebastian’s subordinate, I’m not sure what other secrets he holds. Hence, if he is
found, I hope you can let me see him first,” Sabrina reminded him about Calvin.
Devin nodded in acknowledgment.
With that, he left Oceanic Estate.
After Devin’s departure, Sabrina was about to check on Sebastian before a vibrant-looking girl approach
her.
“Ms. Hayes, what were you discussing with Devin just now? Both of you seem happy talking about it.”
Happy?
The warmth in Sabrina’s face disappeared at once as she glared at Kira. “Have you been following us?”
“No, I haven’t,” Kira denied with an innocent expression.
“I just happened to pass by and was just asking casually. Ms. Hayes, please don’t misunderstand.”
“What have I misunderstood?”
Sabrina sneered, “This is where Old Mr. Jadeson stays and isn’t the main wing. If I recall correctly, no
one is supposed to be here without his permission. Am I right?”
“I…”
Kira’s face was ashen while her eyes revealed a bout of panic.
It was obvious to Sabrina but she didn’t care.
“It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to hide the next time you watch us. After all, I fancy Devin and will
seize all the opportunities to get close to him. Since you like to do it so much, I’ll call you over the next
time he comes.”
“You…”
Finally, the provocation caused Kira to lose her temper.
“H-how can you be so shameless? You’re a single lady of a prominent family. How can you behave so
inappropriately? Does your brother know this side of you?”
Sabrina folded her arms as she continued taunting, “Of course he does. He is even aware that I went to
the barracks to sleep with Devin.”
Just as she spoke, Kira’s whole body began to tremble while her gentle eyes were filled with murderous
intent.
“Sabrina Hayes, you’re disgusting!”
“Me, disgusting?” Sabrina stepped forward. “Who’s the one that’s truly disgusting here? At the very least,
I’m honest about the fact that I like him. What about you?”
Kira was speechless.
“Have you told him about what you’re hiding inside here? Just because I threaded my hand around his
arm, you cut my entire hand with sand. Doesn’t that mean you’ll kill me if I sleep with him?”
Sabrina was as frightening as a demon as she jabbed her finger at Kira’s chest.
Leaning closer to Kira’s face, she looked as if she had climbed out from hell and could see right through
Kira’s soul.
Kira shuddered in response.
