An unprecedented crisis had landed on Oceanic Estate.
Yet, Sasha and Sabrina were well aware that they had to keep what they had discovered as a secret. If
the cat was let out of the bag, it would send everyone in the family into a terrifying frenzy.
At that time, Devin and Jonathan were not present. If the two women chose to expose the
doppelganger, the consequence would be disastrous.
Sasha had to spend a long time calming her unsettled heart down.
“What should we do now? Shall we act first?” Sabrina asked as soon as she noticed Sasha was more
at ease.
To her surprise, Sasha shook her head.
“This must be Eddie’s evil plan. We shouldn’t act rashly without knowing the actual situation. If he
found out that we knew this man is a doppelgänger, will the safety of Sebastian be at stake?”
It was quite amazing for Sasha to articulate her analysis placidly after discovering such an astonishing
secret.
Sabrina, on the other hand, stopped whatever she was doing.
Turning pale, she mulled over it for quite some time. In the end, she asked, “Then… what’s the plan?
Just stand still and not do anything?”
“Nope, we must do something.” Sasha clenched her fists.
“We should inform Grandpa or Devin and let them make the final call. Besides, what need to relocate
the kids and others from Oceanic Estate, in order to keep them safe.”
“All right. What else?”
“Next, keep a close watch on him because we don’t know what’s his motive yet. Most essentially, we
need to stop him from contacting Eddie, that bast*rd. Who knows if there’s a bigger trap waiting for
us?”
At that point, Sasha began to tremble. She hesitated a few times and tried really hard to maintain her
composure while speaking in a quavering voice.
Sabrina could understand how she felt. Without further ado, she hurriedly made the necessary
arrangements.
Though she was not the sharpest tool in the shed, her administrative skills were still above average,
especially when she had the experience managing Hayes Corporation for years.
Oh, that’s right. Hayes Corporation!
She suddenly thought about the company, and another person came to mind.
Half an hour later, someone from Oceanic Estate had reported the latest updates to the White House
as well as the military base. Meanwhile, the four children and the housemaids were in the midst of a
relocation.
When Sabrina instructed the twins to hide in the basement of Oceanic Estate, the younger of the two
smiled and asked, “Aunt Sabrina, why are you putting us in the basement? Although it’s like a war zone
outside, we’re quite safe here. Daddy has made prior arrangements for us.”
“Yup, that’s true,” Ian agreed with his sibling.
In a hurry, Sabrina had no time to explain further to the kids. She kept shoving them downstairs.
“What do you kids know? Just do as you are told. Get in there, quick!”
Aunt Sabrina must be hiding something from us.
The twins fell silent and entered the basement.
One of them took out his laptop and activated the system. “I need to take a look at the situation
outside.”
“Okay.” Nodding, Ian proceeded to type speedily on the keyboard.
Soon, he hacked into the systems of Jadeborough’s transportation bureau. Within a few clicks, the
surveillance systems capturing the live updates on the roads were presented before the two little
munchkins.
Their hearts sank while monitoring the screen.
“Daddy’s not here. Will Uncle Devin and Grandpa be all right? See, there’s fire all across the streets!”
Matteo frowned as he stared incredulously at the screen. Ian too, was knitting his brows. His face was
grim.
He moved his little fingers to zoom into the White House and the military base. He seemingly heard
that Devin and Jonathan were heading there before leaving the house in the morning.
Strangely, right when they switched the screen, the line was disconnected.
“What’s this?”
“It’s an encrypted firewall.” Ian’s expression changed for the worse.
Without any delay, he started working on his laptop, attempting to bypass the firewall.
To the kids’ disappointment, they could not hack into that two particular surveillance cameras despite
trying for several minutes.
This is weird. Our skills are superb and yet, we can’t do it. Does the old man have someone even
better around him?
“No, it can’t be. Check the Internet now, and you’ll see images of the unrest stirred up in our city
plastered all over the web. This must be the old fox’s doing. It can’t be Daddy’s work.”
“So, your point is…”
Matteo’s heart was pounding fast; his eyes, glistening. He looked at his brother, wanting to say
something, but hesitated. He was fearful that the one and only answer he had would slip his tongue.
If the old fellow wasn’t the culprit behind all these, the next possible suspect would be Daddy. However,
Daddy isn’t someone who wants the world to have a glimpse of the chaos happening here.
At that thought, the two children froze.
Wendy and the other housemaids had been arranged by Sabrina to take refuge in the basement. They
were all extremely worried. Seeing the lack of response from the twins, Wendy approached them while
holding Jaena.
