Eventually, Sebastian lost his cool and grabbed Alfred by the collar as he shouted, “What the hell are
you trying to say?”
Alfred’s face turned purplish red from the pressure on his neck.
“What do you mean? I thought you weren’t interested in what I have to say? You said none of this has
anything to do with you, right? Hahahaha…”
He began cackling madly once again but was interrupted by a strong punch to the face.
Alfred screamed as his gold-rimmed glasses were knocked off his face, and blood was flowing out of
his mouth.
“I’m warning you! You’d better not try anything funny or I’ll kill you and your other son!”
The look in Sebastian’s eyes was so vicious and scary that he looked like a demon straight from hell.
My other son?
Alfred shuddered. He regained his composure and instantly stopped laughing out of fear.
“H-How did you know about that?”
“Why wouldn’t I? I’ll have you know that I have information on all of your family members, so you’d
better not have any funny ideas or he’ll be the first to die!” Sebastian said with an eerie and sinister
tone as he stared him down.
Alfred began trembling a lot more severely after hearing that.
Very few people in the White House knew about his other son as he had to break up with his girlfriend
back then and marry his current wife.
He thought he could just forget about her and move on, but she turned out to be pregnant and gave
birth to her child secretly.
Alfred’s wife had also given birth to Baylor at the same time, but the doctors said he was born with a
congenital deficiency and wouldn’t live past thirty.
Alfred was incredibly upset by that incident, so he was caught off guard by the good news that
followed.
As such, he had the mother and child secretly protected over the years. No one knew the president
was actually the head of two families because he kept the other one hidden from everyone.
“Don’t touch him! What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything!” Alfred admitted defeat and gave
in at last.
He did this to himself by trying to pick a fight with me even when he’s doomed! None of this would’ve
happened if he didn’t ask to see me today! Sebastian sneered at the thought of that as he let go of him.
“What did you mean by that? Are you saying that there’s someone else instructing you?”
“Yes!”
“Who?”
“I wouldn’t be in this position now if I knew!”
Alfred broke into a wry smile as he said that, and Sebastian’s frown deepened in response.
How could the president himself not know who it is?
The look on Sebastian’s face turned grim, and he was emanating an icy-cold aura as he asked, “Then
what did you mean by that? Why were you so happy when you heard about Devin being the heir to the
Jadesons?”
“Because Devin is easy meat. Can’t you tell? I was sent to keep you Jadesons in check to begin with,
so we’re both practically being used as pawns. Because of Jonathan’s huge contribution over his many
years of military service, I had to step up and keep him on a tight leash. Do you really think the White
House is just going to let you Jadesons hog everything to yourself now that I’m going down?”
Sebastian stood frozen in place for about ten seconds, staring silently at the cunning middle-aged man
before him.
It was the first time he had heard of a power struggle like this, especially one that was started by the
two core forces within the circle.
Sebastian didn’t really know much about politics, but he found those who engaged in a political power
play to be ten times more disgusting than the cunning businessmen he usually dealt with.
Money was the only thing at stake for corporate power struggles, but political power struggles were a
threat to both national security and the interests of its people.
Enraged, Sebastian grabbed the nearest chair and smashed it to pieces in front of Alfred.
“Listen up, Alfred! You’d better tell that person that he’s playing with fire here. Jonathan could remain in
his position of power for so many years because he ensured the country’s safety for decades! If he
goes down, you’re all going down with him!” he shouted furiously before leaving the room and
slamming the door shut behind him.
