“But… when Shin looked at the picture, he fell into a trance, and he ended up getting shot.”

Rufus was on the verge of crying as he spoke the last word.

At that time, Shin took the photo and collapsed in front of him before he could even utter a word.

By the time Rufus snapped out of his daze and rushed to him, Shin was already starting to lose

consciousness.

“After that, he took out the bloodstained medal with his trembling hand. He then told me to give the

medal to Frieda so that she could bring it to you. However, we failed to do so in the end… After she

learned that Shin was gone, she went crazy before she could give birth to the child.”

A heavy silence instantly blanketed the previously bustling playground.

At this very moment, Jonathan was sitting there motionlessly in a daze as if time had stopped for him.

All of Rufus’ words escaped his ears except for one particular sentence.

He then told me to give the medal to Frieda so that she could bring it to you. He kept hearing those

words echoing in his mind.

Why did he do that? Is it because he had never suspected that I would do something to him?

Tears welled up in Jonathan’s eyes before they streamed down his cheeks.

“Old Mr. Jadeson.”

Rufus was shocked by Jonathan’s reaction.

However, Jonathan waved his hands dismissively, gesturing for Rufus to keep silent.

“I knew that a lot of people wanted to take Shin down due to his impressive performance in the army.

It’s just that I never expected to be the one who caused this.”

“What?”

Rufus was left dumbfounded, For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, what do you mean?”

“Look at them. They are really having a great time.” With teary eyes, he pointed at the kids who were

playing at the playground.

Rufus looked in the direction of his finger.

Again, he was taken aback.

“I was too eager for success in the past. I always thought it would be best if my descendants could be

at the pinnacle of power. But it seems that we could be happy too by leading a simple life.”

“So, do you mean…”

“It’s good that he stays with the Hayes family.”

Jonathan finally uttered the last sentence.

Rufus heaved a sigh. “Whether it’s the Hayeses or the Jadesons, they are all your grandchildren. This

place is his home, and so is Jadeborough.”

“Yeah…”

Jonathan finally let out a smile.

That night, Jonathan left with his bodyguards before Sebastian and Sasha returned.

“Mr. Sebastian, Old Mr. Jadeson wants you to focus on Hayes Corporation since Solomon is sick now.

As for the smelting plant of the Jadesons, he will ask Mr. Devin to take care of it.”

“Devin? Isn’t he busy investigating firearms trafficking?”

Sebastian was puzzled. At the same time, he was displeased with people handling things without

informing him beforehand.

However, Mark refused to disclose other details.

“Yeah! But Old Mr. Jadeson has stopped him from investigating further. If he solves the case, the

Jadesons would be in the spotlight again. Didn’t you mention before that the Jadesons need to keep a

low profile? Thus, Old Mr. Jadeson has asked him to stay out of it and spend more time dealing with

family matters instead. On top of that, the White House is electing a new leader. As the heir to the

Jadesons, he needs to take part in it.”

Now that things had come to this point, there was nothing much Sebastian could do.

“Okay! I got it. Just let me know if there is anything else when you go back.”

“Sure, Mr. Sebastian!”

Mark grinned and agreed to it without hesitation.

He was pleased with Sebastian’s attitude although there was a hint of impatience in his tone. In fact,

that was the answer that the Jadesons wanted.

Mark then returned to Jadeborough that same night.

From that day onward, Sebastian was in charge of Hayes Corporation again since Solomon had not

returned to the company yet.

Half a year had passed.

It was spring, and the three little kids of the Hayes family, who had grown taller, were already in second

grade.

As for Sasha, she had returned to Hayes Corporation to continue managing the investment planning

department, and she had been doing a good job at it.

“Darling, it’s almost time to get off work. Are you going to prepare the meal?”

“Yes, I’m coming!”

She received an extension call while working at her desk at noon.

Sebastian’s deep voice came from the other end of the line, and there was a hint of sadness in his

tone.

Sasha immediately put her work aside and rushed upstairs.

An hour later, Sasha was having a meal with Sebastian at the private lounge in the penthouse suite.

She looked at Sebastian, who was enjoying his food slowly.

“Oh yeah! When is Sab going to hold her wedding?”

“What’s the hurry?” he said nonchalantly.

Sasha put down her fork and answered, “Are you serious? She is pregnant now. If they put off the

wedding any longer, the wedding dress might not fit her anymore. Then, her mother-in-law would

criticize her again during the wedding dinner.”

She was a little agitated when she spoke. Each time she mentioned that odd woman, she couldn’t help

boiling with rage.
