Ch. 821..830

Returning from the Dead Chapter 821

What the hell is wrong with her?

She comes and goes as she pleases. Does she really think that she’s a rich heiress and I’m just a servant?

A grim look crossed Devin’s face.

However, Kira was delighted when she saw that.

This woman is finally gone! Now, all my worries have disappeared.

She returned to the Woods Residence happily.

However, barely half an hour after she reached home, someone suddenly called her.

“Ms. Woods, do you know what a foolish act you’ve done today?”

“What?”

Listening to the woman’s voice on the phone, Kira almost thought that she was mistaken.

Furious, she demanded, “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter. More importantly, you should know that if you haven’t done that today, there’s still hope for you to become the lady of the Jadesons’ house in the future,” remarked the woman mockingly.

Instead of answering Kira’s question directly, she emphasized again how foolish Kira had been.

Kira’s expression changed.

She suddenly heard the words ‘lady of the house’.

That was what triggered her the most!

“Cut the crap! Who are you? If you accuse me like that again, I’ll call the police.”

“What’s the point, Ms. Woods? Don’t think that no one knows about your secret. In this world, every action of yours is being monitored by someone, just that you’re oblivious about it.”

Kira felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her at that moment.

Gripping her phone, she felt a chill run down her spine as she shuddered in fear. Her cheeks immediately paled.

Who is she? Is she a ghost?

Kira was completely flustered.

As if the woman in the call could sense it, she reassured Kira, “Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to you. After all, we share the same goal.”

“What goal?”

“To become the lady of the Jadesons’ house! Didn’t I mention it earlier?” mocked the woman contemptuously.

“Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. I’m just reminding you that you have done a foolish thing this afternoon. Do you know who Sabrina brought home?” she continued.

“Who?”

Kira finally found her voice.

The woman laughed. “The Hayes family’s top killer, who tagged along with Sebastian when he came to Jadeborough. They have never given up on finding him all this while.”

For a few seconds, Kira sat on the sofa in a daze.

She did not understand any of that.

Although she hated Sabrina and wanted to chase her out of this place, she was completely oblivious about what was going on with the Hayes and Jadeson family.

Before that, she did not even know, nor did she ever ask about the underlying conflicts in the Jadeson family.

Hence, she had no clue about what was going on at all.

He works for Sebastian?

Why is Magnus’ plaything suddenly Sebastian’s employee? If so, there will be dire consequences.

When Sebastian fought with Charles, many people died. It was an extremely tragic scene. After he was rescued, he suffered from multiple personality disorders and could not remember anything from the past. This was why Jonathan kept investigating it.

Now that the top killer has been found…

Kira finally realized that she had made a huge blunder.

“What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing. I just want to tell you that Jonathan’s been looking for this man recently. Now that Sabrina has taken him away, don’t you think that he’ll be furious if he finds out?”

“You…”

“If you’re smart, you would’ve informed Jonathan right away and brought the man back. That way, you can prove yourself to the Jadesons and kill that woman. Am I right?”

When Kira heard the last sentence, she was extremely tempted. It was as if the woman was a siren, egging her forward and enticing her.

Yeah! If I want to remain in the Jadeson family, I need to do a good job.

If I want the patriarch of the Jadesons to see me in a new light, the only way is to make a significant contribution to the family.

“Actually, there are many ways for cousins to marry in this society. You can just pull some strings and prove that you’re not cousins, right?”

“Or you can give up on him and let your aunt force you to marry Magnus. That’s not a bad choice either! After all, he’s Alfred’s nephew.”

This woman is like the devil!

Although they were only connected by a phone call, it was like she could peer into the depths of Kira’s mind, tempting and provoking her.

When Kira heard that, she yelled, “No! I’d rather die than marry him!”

Returning from the Dead Chapter 822

Then, she hung up the phone abruptly.

That’s right! I’d rather die than marry Magnus, that shameless jerk!

Kira left her house and drove toward Oceanic Estate.

Meanwhile, Sabrina, Calvin, and Karl had arrived at the airport.

To prevent any hiccups, they decided to fly back to Avenport on a helicopter.

“I wonder if he has told anyone about the two before he became like this.”

Karl was worried about it when waiting for the helicopter.

Sabrina frowned.

She was worried too. However, since Calvin had already become like this, it was futile to ask him anything.

In the end, Sabrina decided to inform those at Miralaea first. For safety reasons, she wanted them to leave with the children so that they could avoid any unwanted accidents.

Karl agreed.

“Where are you bringing him, Sabrina?”

Suddenly, at that moment, a thunderous bellow rang out at the entrance of the airport.

When Sabrina heard that, she was shocked. Before she could dial the number, she dropped her phone on the floor.

It’s Jonathan! He’s actually here!

“Go now!”

Her expression changed drastically as she immediately told Karl to leave with Calvin.

Karl had the same thought too.

He instantly grabbed Calvin, who was sitting in the wheelchair dazedly, flung him onto his back, and prepared to flee.

However, he was too late.

The place was filled with the Jadesons’ men. Right after Jonathan yelled, numerous people wearing uniforms rushed toward them. Some of them were even armed with guns, which they aimed at Karl’s head.

Karl did not dare to move anymore.

On the other hand, Sabrina paled.

Who leaked the secret?

Jonathan walked toward her. He first shot a glance at Calvin, who was lying on Karl’s back dumbly, before glaring at her ferociously.

“What do you want to say?”

Sabrina closed her eyes to suppress her fear before opening them again.

“I have nothing to say. He’s from the Hayes family. Now that I’ve found him, I’m bringing him back. It’s perfectly normal.” Unlike how she was back in Oceanic Estate, she was no longer constantly smiling when talking to Jonathan.

Now, her gaze was cold and she exuded a nonchalant and arrogant aura.

She seemed more like the famed daughter of the Hayes family now!

A murderous look glinted in Jonathan’s eyes, making him look even more terrifying.

“Normal? Have you forgotten what you told me?”

“No, but he’s already lost his mind. Even if I hand him over to you, you won’t find out anything. What’s the point of that, then?” Sabrina defended herself calmly.

Jonathan scoffed coldly.

He did not say anything. However, his hawk-like eyes were filled with murderous intent as he scrutinized Sabrina intently.

In the next second, he waved his hands and the other men grabbed them immediately.

“What are you doing? Jonathan, let go of us. I already said that he’s lost his mind! It’s pointless if you bring him back.”

Sabrina’s screams of resistance could be heard from afar.

When Sasha’s plane landed and she switched on her phone, she saw that message.

Her expression changed drastically.

Sabrina’s been captured alongside Karl and Calvin, who they’ve just found?

She was so flustered that she froze on the plane seat for a long time without getting up.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you alighting?”

Sebastian had already carried his child. When he noticed Sasha sitting there motionlessly, he frowned and asked unhappily.

With that, she raised her head abruptly.

“Mr. Hayes, I…”

Her eyes were filled with terror and shock. During the flight, she had been talking non-stop and her eyes initially sparkled with happiness.

However, at that moment, it was as if a storm had just struck. Her gaze was dull and there was not a glimmer of joy in it.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. “What happened?”

“Old Mr. Jadeson captured Ms. Sabrina. Apparently, she found Calvin, your old bodyguard, and wanted to bring him back. However, Old Mr. Jadeson found out and captured her in a fury.”

Sasha revealed what had happened.

She had been hesitating for a while since she received the message. A turmoil of emotions raged within her as she wondered if she should tell it to Sebastian.

It was a good thing for Sabrina if she did.

However, she did not know how it would affect him. After all, he had just recently shown signs of recovering. If he found out, his deep-rooted hatred might surface again.

Sasha stared at him timidly, not daring to utter a singer word.

However, Sebastian stood there expressionlessly for a while, still carrying Vivian. Then, he suddenly asked, “Calvin isn’t dead too?”

Returning from the Dead Chapter 823

“Huh?”

Sasha was stunned.

Did he think that Calvin’s dead?

However, that was the only thing he said. After that, he left with Vivian calmly.

When Sasha saw that, she paused for a while before returning to her senses and chasing after him.

“Wait for me, Mr. Hayes! What do you think about it? The three of them are in Old Mr. Jadeson’s clutches now. Are you going to save them?”

She heard no response from Sebastian, who merely strode forward quickly.

All she could do was to follow him.

They arrived at Oceanic Estate an hour later.

“You’re back, Mr. Sebastian.”

“You’re back too, Dr. West.”

“Even Vivi’s back!”

It was all very strange. After they returned, Sasha noticed that Oceanic Estate seemed very peaceful. The housemaids were greeting them enthusiastically as well, as if nothing had happened.

Why is it like this? Where are Sabrina and the rest?

Unable to hold herself back, she stopped a housemaid when Sebastian was not looking and asked, “Mary, where’s Old Mr. Jadeson?”

“In his study. Why?”

“Where’s Ms. Sabrina? Where did she go?” Surprised, Sasha could not help but ask about Sabrina.

Unexpectedly, the housemaid told her that Sabrina was fine and was in her bedroom on the second floor.

As for Karl and Calvin, she had no clue where they were.

Sasha followed after Sebastian briskly. However, as she walked, she was surprised to find out that he was heading to Jonathan’s study directly.

After arriving there, he kicked the door open.

Both Sasha and Jonathan were dumbfounded.

“Why did you capture them? Are you investigating something about me again?” Sebastian barged in and glared at Jonathan coldly without any greetings or preambles.

He dragged a chair over and sat there with his legs crossed.

Looking at his demeanor, it was as if he was the head of the house, not Jonathan.

Naturally, Jonathan was furious.

However, he forced himself to keep his cool. Instead of beating around the bush, he admitted directly, “Your children. I’m investigating your children.”

“My children?”

Sebastian froze.

Jonathan nodded. “Yes, you have three children. However, before you got into that accident, you sent them to a top-secret location. Since you’ve lost your memory now, all I can hope for is to find the people who used to work for you. The man I captured today is Calvin, a top killer who used to work for you.”

He explained calmly so as not to anger Sebastian.

Standing at the side, Sasha noticed how Sebastian’s eyes widened when he saw that two photographs on Jonathan’s phone.

The two children’s handsome faces looked just like his.

Part of his memories came flooding back to him. It was as if he could hear the words ringing in his ears, “Daddy, you’ll definitely pick us up, right?”

“Daddy, will Mommy come when you come too?”

“Daddy, after Mommy’s back, let’s live here together, okay?”

“Okay…”

He fell into deep thought. The glimmer of hope he had glimpsed earlier was now replaced by utter darkness. Within a short moment, that bloody scene surfaced in his mind again.

“Live on! You must live on, for me and our children’s sake!”

It was a pair of bloody hands. He was grabbing onto her tightly, but she forcefully pried each of his fingers away.

Oh, right. I have my children. Their mother sacrificed her life so that I can take good care of them.

His vision started to blur. Grief engulfed him as he shuddered uncontrollably, his heart aching like something sharp was stabbing his heart repeatedly. Within a second, his eyes became bloodshot and he could not see anything.

“Mr. Hayes! Mr. Hayes!”

When Sasha noticed that, she called out to him loudly and wanted to stop him.

Noticing something amiss, Jonathan quickly stood up to help.

However, Sebastian, who had lost control of himself, suddenly charged forward. He leaped over the tall desk, rushed forward, and wrapped his fingers around Jonathan’s neck forcefully.

“I’ll kill you!” spat Sebastian fiercely, articulating every single word.

Jonathan did not expect this to happen at all. Having caught off guard, he did not have time to resist. Sebastian flung him onto the chair, still choking him.

“Someone! Please come in now!”

Sasha panicked as she saw the scene unfold. All she could do was to yell out loud for help.

Returning from the Dead Chapter 824

Fortunately, Jonathan’s bodyguards were nearby. In a few seconds, they swiftly came inside. Upon seeing that scene, one of the bodyguards rushed over and struck Sebastian’s neck.

With that, Sebastian collapsed to the floor.

Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief. Jonathan had been in countless battles, and it was the first time he almost got killed. After gaining back his senses, he was beyond exasperated and wanted to kill Sebastian.

But in the end, he chose to suppress his rage.

A while later, Sasha sent Sebastian to rest downstairs. After that, she went to the study room to find Jonothan.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, you shouldn’t mention the kids in front of him now.”

“Why not?”

Jonathan was still utterly enraged. “Why can’t I mention it? They’re my great-grandchildren. I must find them, and he needs to face this.”

“Yes, I know. But you have to understand why he hides the kids. Even though he managed to survive during his battle with Charles, everyone else around him ended up dead. He watched the mother of his kids die. As you keep mentioning about the kids, you’re reminding him of those who are already dead.”

Sasha had also lost her calm as she sounded utterly pissed.

He’s crossed the line! When Sebastian heard about the kids just now, I’m sure it made him recall all those brutal moments. What use would that bring except triggering his hatred?

With that in mind, Sasha even felt an urge to kill Jonathan, as she had put in tremendous effort and was finally able to make Sebastian recover by a little.

Fortunately, Jonathan kept his silence upon hearing Sasha’s harsh words. As such, Sasha went back to the third floor.

Around three in the afternoon, Sebastian was finally awake. Upon seeing that, Sasha wanted to pour him a glass of water. But he lay in the bed and stared at the ceiling for a long while.

All of the sudden, he opened his mouth. “Where’s Calvin?”

“What?” Sasha was stunned momentarily. “Calvin? I heard that he got locked up by Old Mr. Jadeson… Why do you think of him suddenly?”

“I want to meet him. Please bring him here.”

He spat out another abrupt sentence.

Sasha froze on the spot.

She thought he would not remember anything and go back to his previous phase after waking up. Not to mention, she had a chat with the professor from Jetroina while Sebastian was asleep.

The professor said that the worst case was for those signs of recovery to go backward.

With that, she had prepared her mind for the worst.

Yet, she did not expect the first thing he did after waking up was to find Calvin.

He still remembers!

Lit up with delight, Sasha immediately put down the glass in her hand and rushed out with excitement.

“Please arrange for Calvin to come here. Mr. Hayes wants to meet him.”

The news spread throughout the entire Oceanic Estate in a blink of an eye. It even came to Jonathan’s ear.

Hence, when Calvin got brought up, Jonathan came too and listened secretly outside.

Meanwhile, Sasha stayed inside as she feared conflicts between those two men. To her relief, Sebastian did not cast her out.

“Calvin?”

When Calvin walked in, Sebastian was sitting in his wheelchair.

As a matter of fact, they felt like strangers to each other.

It was the same case when Karl met him, as the personality remembered their names. In his mind, it was utter blank except for the fact that he needed to avenge them.

Nonetheless, when Calvin heard that voice, his eyes flashed with emotions.

Sasha kept quiet.

“I thought you were dead. So I stayed here to avenge you, Karl, Shawn… and Sasha. I did not forget about you all. But now that I know you’re alive. I’m glad.”

Sebastian choked on his words when he mentioned Sasha as though it was a wound too painful to remember.

Upon hearing that, warmth flushed up Sasha’s heart as she turned around, secretly wiping off her tears.

Thank God he’s in a good condition.

Even after experiencing such a huge impact, he could still remember everything. He even kept the emotions when mentioning Sasha.

With that, Sasha was utterly grateful.

Eventually, Calvin got moved as well.

His case was, in fact, much more complicated, and no one was able to figure out why. How could a man suddenly become like this? What happened? Did he go through physical torture? Or is he faking it?

Sasha could not wrap her head around it either.

Until now, she noticed Calvin finally lifted his eyes upon hearing what Sebastian said.

That was a pair of attractive eyes that could melt anyone’s heart.

He did not say anything for a long while.

However, Sasha and Sebastian could see tears start brimming in his eyes.

Sasha was rendered speechless.

All of a sudden, Sebastian suddenly shouted, “Hurry! Grab his mouth quickly! Don’t let him bite himself!”

At that instance, Sasha stared at Calvin in astonishment.

Gaining back her senses, she rushed to grab his chin, but it was too late.

Calvin made a forceful bite, and black blood flowed out from his mouth instantly.

“Calvin!”

Returning from the Dead Chapter 825

In this world, how close is human to sin?

Sasha had never pondered this question.

She had gone through a lot throughout her life. Reality had changed her from a naive girl into a cold-blooded woman.

But even though so, she had never thought of such a question until today when she saw Calvin.

“Is it sodium cyanide? Why does he have this in his mouth?”

At that moment, Sasha got hold of Calvin, whose mouth was still dripping black blood non-stop. She shifted her gaze fearfully toward Sebastian, who was approaching.

Sebastian did not utter a word.

He stared at Calvin, sinking deep in his thoughts.

He looked petrified as though he knew a storm was approaching.

Usually, only martyrs would enter into SteelFort of the Hayes family. They did it out of volunteer, mainly because they received too much favor from the family. And they would receive a death pill upon completing their missions.

The death pill was made of sodium cyanide, and its purpose was to protect the Hayes’ family secret in times of emergency.

Evidently, Calvin got one in his teeth too.

But Sebastian could not comprehend why Calvin chose to bite it after seeing him. He’s been able to endure all this while. Why now?

With that, Sebastian kneeled down slowly in front of his former subordinate.

“You didn’t have to do this. I’ve never blamed you.”

Sebastian thought Calvin was self-blaming for not protecting the former back then; thus, he chose to kill himself upon seeing the former.

Yet, Calvin shook his head, with his mouth covered in blood.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he could not make a sound. Eventually, he lifted his hand weakly and wrote something slowly on Sebastian’s palm with his finger.

Sebastian lowered his head while Sasha also shifted her gaze at Sebastian’s palm.

However, she could not recognize what word Calvin wrote down, as it did not seem like the regular alphabet.

The only thing she could notice was that as Calvin was writing, Sebastian’s face turned tenser and tenser.

And after Calvin finished writing, Sebastian froze on the spot, with his face devoid of expression.

Sasha had no idea what was happening.

The only thing she could do was to think of a way to save Calvin’s life.

However, when she touched his wrist, she could barely feel any pulse anymore.

Sodium cyanide was inherently highly toxic, and even a small amount could cause immediate death. She had no idea how those people could preserve it between the teeth.

But judging by Calvin’s poisoned look, she knew he would not be able to survive.

“Mommy, are you in there?”

As her heart was twitching in agony, she heard Vivian’s voice coming from the outside.

Vivi?

Right now, she noticed Calvin, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly displayed lit of life in his eyes.

Could it be?

Just then, Sasha suddenly remembered that Calvin was the one in charge when her daughter got taken away. At that instance, an idea flashed across her mind as she shouted at the door loudly, “Vivi, come in here now!”

“Okay.”

With that, the cute little girl pushed the door open and walked in.

“Mommy…”

But what came into her sight was a terrifying scene. Why is Mommy holding someone in her arms? And he’s spitting blood.

Vivian paled in fright while trembling incessantly.

Since Vivian came in, Calvin’s eyes had never left her. Noticing that, Sasha waved toward Vivian.

“Vivi, please come over here and have a look. Do you still remember him?”

“What?”

Trying to collect herself, Vivian shifted her gaze toward the man inside her mother’s embrace.

After staring for a while, her expression suddenly turned startled.

“Brother Cal? Is that Brother Cal?”

As she finally recognized the face, she let out a shout while tears welled up in her eyes.

She could not believe what she saw.

She was beyond devastated to see the man that she had been missing so much become like this.

Upon seeing that, Sasha waved her hand again. “Yes. Vivi, please come near. He wants to see you one last time. Good girl.”

Vivian froze on the spot for a while.

Eventually, she pursed her lips and ran over to them.

“Brother Cal… why are you hurt? Didn’t you promise me that you won’t ever get hurt again?” Vivian kneeled before Calvin with a heavy heart while her tiny hand reached out to touch his face without any fear.

Returning from the Dead Chapter 826

It was supposed to be a secret between them.

Back then, when Calvin was taking her with him, the situation got out of hand as Charles had been watching those kids closely.

Calvin ended up getting injured when he rescued the three of them.

Vivian would never forget how afraid and worried she was at that moment, as she forced Calvin to make her a promise.

She wanted him to promise her that he would never let himself get hurt. Only then was she willing to let him go.

But… why is he hurt now? He even spat out so much blood…

With that in mind, Vivian burst into tears.

“Brother Cal… don’t be afraid. Even though you didn’t keep your promise, Mommy is a doctor. I’ll ask her to save you.”

She forgave him in a generous gesture while comforting him kindly.

At that moment, Calvin’s lips curled into a smile.

He did not know what he was waiting for.

But after he saw Vivian, he finally felt he could let go. He glanced at her while taking out a pink pearl that he had been keeping with him all this time.

“That’s the pearl from my hairpin. Brother Cal, did you help me to find it?”

Vivian stretched out her hand and grabbed the pearl from his hand.

Their hands touched each other.

After Calvin felt the warmth of Vivian’s hand, the beam of life began fading from his beautiful eyes.

Eventually, his hand fell weakly out of Vivian’s hand.

Vivian was stumped at that moment.

She froze on the spot for a long while, grabbing the pink pearl in her hand. Before she could react, she heard her mother crying.

“Calvin…”

Sebastian took a step backward and slumped back into the chair behind.

A few minutes later, Jonathan brought his men and came in. By then, he saw Calvin lying on the floor without a breath.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, it’s suicide. But he had experienced inhuman torture while he was alive. His tongue got cut off, and both his hands were almost disabled. I suppose it was to force the information about Mr. Sebastian out of him.”

The captain of the bodyguards was an experienced man in such a matter.

By judging by Calvin’s look, he could predict all his experiences accurately.

Hugging Vivian in her embrace, Sasha’s breath grew heavier as she heard what the captain said.

But that was not the worst part of what happened to Calvin.

After a round of checking, even the captain could not suppress his rage.

“Old Mr. Jadeson… there’s a chip inside his brain. And, it seems like he got…”

The captain did not dare to finish his sentence.

Jonathan cut a startled look at him.

“Out! All of you get out of my sight now!” Sitting in the chair, Sebastian suddenly burst into a rage right then. He stood up abruptly and started smashing everything in front of him.

Everyone at the scene got petrified, including Jonathan.

But looking at Sebastian’s aggressive look, Jonathan did not dare to face him directly. Eventually, he could only leave with his men.

Sasha also left with the kid.

A chip… and what else? What does the captain mean?

As Sasha carried Vivian out from the place, her mind could not stop thinking about what the captain said. Right then, she could no longer bear to carry Vivian. She immediately put her down while she wandered recklessly to a corner and began vomiting.

She could not imagine what had happened to Calvin.

Such a beautiful boy, not only did he get injected with a chip, he even got… No wonder he chose to end his life.

Sasha bawled her eyes out while vomiting.

At that moment, someone approached her from behind. The man did not interrupt her, watching her silently from her back.

Sasha finally realized there was someone behind her. She was shocked to see the man behind her as she turned around. She choked on her words while trying to hide her emotions. “Karl? Why are you here? You…”

She was aware of Karl’s relationship with Calvin.

She heard that Frederick brought Calvin and Channing home while they were still kids. Karl often went back to SteelFort and played with the former during that period.

Of course, he also taught Calvin many things as he was from special military forces.

Hence, everyone in SteelFort knew that Calvin was closest to Karl besides his brother, Channing.

When Sebastian was at odds with Charles, the former had Calvin and Karl by his side.

At that moment, Sasha was thinking of ways to console Karl.

But Karl just froze on the spot, without saying anything. She had never seen such a brutal and scary look on him.

Returning from the Dead Chapter 827

“Was it the Jadesons?”

“What?”

“I’m going kill them!”

Spitting out a sentence, Karl turned to leave.

A second later, Sasha realized what he meant. Forgetting about Vivian, who was still beside her, she rushed toward Karl and hugged him tightly. “Karl, what’re you doing? Stop!”

“Let go of me! I’m going to kill all of them! They have to pay for this!”

His bloodshot eyes filled with utter hatred.

There was no way Sasha would allow him to do that.

Calvin was already gone. If something were to happen to Karl, there would be no one left with Sebastian.

Sasha grabbed onto him tightly. “No, Karl. You can’t do this. Calvin’s gone now. Do you want Mr. Hayes to lose all of you?”

Karl was rendered speechless upon hearing that.

Sasha continued to say, “I know you’re pissed and sad. We all are. But this is no time to act harshly. If you want to get revenge for Calvin, we’ll need a careful plan. And Sebastian needs you now!”

Sasha choked on her words toward the end, at the verge of crying.

Finally, Karl calmed down.

He stared into the space while his body kept trembling; his eyes were filled with deep agony.

Eventually, he stopped struggling.

Two hours later, when Calvin’s body got brought out, Karl carried it on his back and left the scene two hours later.

By then, Sabrina had arrived with a black car. While Karl came out with Calvin, she opened the car door. With that, they drove off with the body.

Sasha stared at the disappearing car and then went back into Oceanic Estate.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, will Mr. Sebastian blame you again for what happened to Calvin?”

The moment she walked past the garden, she overheard the conversation between the bodyguard captain and Jonathan.

She halted in her steps and cast a side glance toward them.

“I wouldn’t be bothered with that. It’s not the first time he’s mad at me!” Jonathan sounded utterly frustrated, as though he had gotten tired of Sebastian.

Sasha displayed a cold look upon hearing what Jonathan had said.

Soon, the captain spoke again, “How could you be like this? If this thing had nothing to do with the Jadesons, you must not admit it. It was obvious that someone wanted to force Mr. Sebastian’s information out of Calvin. And who in the family would dare to go to this extent? Old Mr. Jadeson, the biggest secret that Calvin possessed was the whereabouts of the three kids. Do you think anyone in the Jadesons will want that piece of information? What for? Do they want to use the kids to trade for the position of the heir? Or do they want to kill the kids? Do they really think they could get what they want like this?”

The bodyguard captain sounded utterly provocative toward the end of his sentence.

Sasha felt a blow to her heart as her mind went blank upon hearing that.

She had never thought of it like that.

When Calvin wrote something on Sebastian’s palm, she could not understand it.

Hence, she assumed Charles was the one who captured Calvin and tortured him terribly to retaliate against Sebastian.

But the whole matter seemed to be more complicated based on the captain’s analysis.

What does he mean? Was the person who tortured Calvin not only after Sebastian but also Jonathan?

Sasha was stunned momentarily as her mind was at a loss with this sudden discovery.

This abyss seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

Two days later at Oceanic Estate.

Sasha came to the third floor after receiving a tombstone photo from Sabrina.

“Mr. Hayes, may I come in? Ms. Hayes just sent me a picture. I want to show you,” She uttered gently, knocking at the door that was closed for two days.

Still, there was no response. She had been knocking on this door for two days, but no one ever came to answer it.

Feeling helpless, she eventually sent the picture to Sebastian through WhatsApp.

When she was coming down from the third floor, she ran into Jonathan, who was on his way up.

“Old Mr. Jadeson…”

“Did he answer the door yet?” Jonathan seems utterly despondent as well these two days.

Sasha shook her head slightly.

Upon that, Jonathan’s eyes lit with wrath. As his patience had reached its limit, he intended to barge in Sebastian’s room recklessly.

But right then, Sasha’s phone suddenly vibrated.

Sebastian texted: Go and find Sabrina. Ask her for the whereabouts of the three kids and bring them to Oceanic Estate

Returning from the Dead Chapter 828

Sasha’s jaw dropped for a long while as she stared at the phone screen.

She could not believe that Sebastian mentioned the kids even before returning to his primary personality.

He even wanted to bring them to Oceanic Estate.

What happened to him all of a sudden? I thought he had not recovered yet. If he has no memories of the kids, how will he face them? Plus, Calvin’s death proves someone is targeting the kids. Isn’t he afraid the kids might get into trouble if they come here?

Sasha kept staring at the text while her mind was filled with befuddlement.

“Who is it? Is that him?” Judging from Sasha’s look, Jonathan knew who sent the message right away.

After hesitating for a long while, Sasha eventually showed Jonathan the text message.

“He says that Ms. Hayes knows where the three kids are. He asks you to arrange for the kids to come here.”

As unexpected, Jonathan’s eyes widened with shock upon seeing that message.

But his shock only lasted for a few seconds, as it got immediately replaced by joy.

Of course, he would be delighted as he would meet his great-grandchildren shortly.

With that, Jonathan immediately went downstairs and made a call to Sabrina.

Sabrina got left in total awe. “Did My brother ask you to find me? How did he…”

She wanted to ask how Sebastian found out that she knew about the kids’ whereabouts, as she had denied it entirely throughout the time in Oceanic Estate.

Jonathan sneered, “He’s forgetful, but not dumb!”

Sabrina was rendered speechless upon hearing that.

In the end, she obediently revealed the whereabouts of the two kids.

After finding out, Jonathan brought his men and went to Miralaea personally.

He comprehended the bodyguard captain’s analysis fully.

Thus, he did not dare to leave this matter in others’ hands. He wanted to make sure of the safety of the kids.

Sasha had mixed feelings when she saw Jonathan go to find the kids personally.

She had never forgiven him all this while.

After all, the whole family ended up like this because of him.

Hence, there was no way she would accept him so quickly.

But now that she saw how he acted personally to protect the kids’ safety, she did not know how to react to it.

“Mr. Hayes, why do you want to bring the kids here suddenly? Aren’t you afraid that they might get into danger?”

After Jonathan left, the room door on the third floor finally opened.

Sasha would come up to send food or to check up on his body. In all, she would come up more than seven times in a day.

And this question had been sticking in her throat for a long while.

At that moment, Sebastian was standing by the window, staring at the scenery outside.

Since he opened his room’s door two days ago, he had been utterly quiet. Sometimes, he would stand by the window for hours. It made Sasha somehow uneasy.

After hearing Sasha’s question, he raised his brows slightly and answered, “It’s because I’m here.”

Sasha was loss for words.

Her worries faded instantly upon hearing Sebastian’s reply.

That’s right. If he’s here, he’ll protect them well. Whether or not he remembers, the bond of a father will be there.

After coming out of the room, Sasha started to worry about her daughter’s situation.

Sasha texted: Sabrina, what did you say when you mentioned Vivi to Jonathan?

Sabrina texted back: What else could I say? I said what you told me to, that she was sick and got sent to another place by my brother.

Sasha was rendered speechless.

This is so awkward… but I can’t think of another excuse…Vivian is, in fact, here in this place.

Putting down the phone, Sasha did not further think about this matter. On the other hand, she began worrying about her two sons. Will they be obedient if they meet Jonathan suddenly?

Little did she know that Vivian had already informed the two boys in Miralaea about what happened around here.

Vivian texted: Brother Cal is dead. I’m really sad.

Meanwhile, Matteo was sitting on the villa staircase, filled with worries. He had not received any news from Vivian for over two days.

On the other hand, Ian was also overwhelmed with sorrow.

As he grew up in the Hayes Residence, Calvin’s death was a big blow to him.

So who exactly caused his death?

“I want to avenge him!” He clenched his fists in profound exasperation.

Matteo cast a glance at him and reminded, “How do you want to do it? We don’t even know who killed him.”

They witnessed Calvin’s death through Vivian’s hairpin, but they could not see what he wrote on Sebastian’s palm before his last breath.

Returning from the Dead Chapter 829

Of course, even if they saw it, they might not be able to understand it too.

So who exactly is behind his death? How are we going to get revenge for him?

“Isn’t that old man coming to fetch us? If we keep an eye on him, we should be able to find out the real culprit!”

Right then, Ian spat out a sentence.

That old man? Does he mean the old man from the Jadesons?

Matteo’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. That family is full of bad people. They even went after Daddy before. Let’s keep an eye on him after we go over there. I’m sure we’ll discover something.”

It turned out that the two of them had never liked their father’s new home too.

With that, both of them came to an agreement.

When Jonathan arrived, the two of them had gotten ready and were waiting for him the following day.

“Is that them?”

When Jonathan first saw the twins, his hands trembled incessantly with excitement as the twins resembled their father perfectly.

“Yes. He is the elder one, Mr. Ian. And that is the younger of the twins, Mr. Matteo,”

The bodyguard from Hayes explained to Jonathan after realizing the latter did not recognize the twins.

Ian? Matteo?

Jonathan’s eyes became red with tears after hearing those two names.

He did not mind them keeping their family names. When he got Sebastian back, he also did not request him to change his Hayes family name.

Of course, he would not want the kids to do so too.

He could not suppress the joy in his heart and wanted to touch them, but Ian immediately avoided him with a look full of hatred.

Jonathan was rendered speechless by that gesture.

“Mr. Ian, this is your Great-grandpa. He won’t hurt you.”

Upon seeing that, the bodyguard immediately explained it to Ian.

However, Ian did not seem to comply, as he turned abruptly and left. He showed no respect for Jonathan, his look utterly cold like his father.

Fortunately, there was still Matteo.

Just then, Matteo approached Jonathan with a smile on his face. “Great-grandpa, my brother doesn’t like to talk. You can talk to me instead.”

The next second, he walked over and stood below Jonathan’s hand that initially wanted to touch Ian.

At the instant, Jonathan felt like he had gotten struck by lightning.

The tiny head felt so soft and rare to him, as his hands were used to grabbing weapons in battles.

He felt like he might break it accidentally if he used too much force.

With that, Jonathan’s hand trembled, utterly cautious with his touch.

“Okay, okay. I’ll talk to you… Can I go in to sit for a while?”

“Of course. Come, I’ll bring you inside.”

Matteo reached out his hand and generously grabbed onto Jonathan’s stout fingers.

Ian is such a fool. To let this old man off his guard, we’ll need to build a close relationship with him from the start. Then he won’t suspect us in the future.

As such, Matteo brought Jonathan into the room.

Then, he told the latter he would pour him a glass of juice. But in fact, he went to the kitchen and popped an instant juice pill into the glass.

“Great-grandpa, this is for you.”

“Okay…”

Jonathan’s eyes brimmed with tears again.

He would not mind the details, as his great-grandson’s obedience and cuteness had melted his heart thoroughly.

With that, he emptied that glass of “juice”.

“Is it nice?”

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

So he seems like a foolish old man.

Some moment later, Matteo went to find his brother.

After half an hour, the twins finally finished packing and were ready to depart.

“Why are there only two of them? Where’s the girl?” Jonathan could not suppress his curiosity.

“Ms. Vivian is not here. We just received the twins from Calvin. I suppose Ms. Vivian fell sick and was sent to another place by Mr. Hayes. But we have no idea,” The bodyguards explained apologetically.

Jonathan became speechless; he was downright disappointed.

His heart did not feel complete as his great-granddaughter was yet to be found.

However, as he turned around and saw the twins, his lips curled into a genuine smile once again.

“Then let’s bring you two back first. I’m taking you home.” He reached out both his hands, hoping to grab their hand one at aside.

But once again, Ian rejected his goodwill and went into the car himself.

Only Matteo hold onto his hand good-naturedly.

What a pair of twins…

Shortly later, Jonathan with the twins left the place for good.

Right at that moment, in a secret room where relationships trees got plastered on four sides of the walls, stood a man.

Returning from the Dead Chapter 830

He flipped the table all of a sudden.

Bang!

The next moment, his subordinate dropped down on one knee on the other side of the curtain.

The man in the house said, “It took me so long to come this far, yet Magnus destroyed everything!”

“It’s my fault. I’m willing to receive any punishment!”

The next moment, blood spilled all over the curtain, and two fingers fell off and jittered on the floor.

Surprisingly, the subordinate maintained his posture by kneeling on one knee.

Seconds later, the whole place reeked of fresh blood.

The man inside the house seemed to have calmed down a little as he said, “Has Jonathan found the kids?”

“Yes.”

“You’re all garbage! You can’t even get rid of a nobody after so many months! Why should I keep you all around?”

The man furiously flung a dart as soon as he finished.

Ding!

The dart hit Jonathan’s photo at the center of the wall.

If one were to observe the room closely, a family tree with photos, which depicted the relationships between all Jadesons in detail, was put on all four walls, including Jonathan, Jared, and all branch families.

The family tree reflected that the Jadesons were powerful, so much so that the head of state would be astounded by it.

However, the family tree became smaller as one continued reading it from top to bottom, as though the Jadesons had been slowly eliminated by unknown enemies.

Although the photo of Jonathan’s youngest son, Shin, had been removed, Sebastia’s photo was included below it.

“Sir, what would you like me to do? Do you want the kids dead? Rest assured that I’ll bring their heads to you at all costs once you instruct me to do it.”

Since the room fell silent for a while, the subordinate, who kneeled on the other side of the curtain, proposed it to redeem himself.

However, the man inside the basement sneered, “Jonathan picked them up by himself. Do you think you’re capable of taking their heads?”

He paused for a while and scolded, “Stop making trouble! Now that the killer is dead, Jonathan knows that danger is near. So, don’t do anything at this moment to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

With that, the subordinate dared not utter a word.

As if a thought flashed through his mind, the man in the room asked, “No. 3 used to report to me about Jasmine’s niece. Is the news true?”

“Yes. She was the one who leaked the news to Jonathan.”

“In that case, we should start from her. Fan the flames between the Jadesons’ current successor and Jonathan’s grandson, who showed up all of a sudden. When the Jadesons are in turmoil, we stand to benefit from it,” He said viciously while pointing at Devin and Sebastian’s photo that he had just put up.

This is indeed a wicked ploy!

Although Devin might not be bothered, his parents will never allow someone to replace their son as the Jadesons’ successor.

As such, the family will never be peaceful once the confrontation occurs.

After Devin returned to Oceanic Estate, he was informed that Jonathan had brought the twins home.

He left Jadeborough for three days to investigate Calvin and only came home now.

Upon hearing the news, Devin was shocked. “Did you say Sebastian allowed you to bring them here? Did he not know where the kids were? Why did he suddenly ask you to pick them up?”

Jasmine snickered and added, “This proves that he had always been lying and wasn’t suffering multiple personality disorder at all. I tell you what, everything that he does now is to ensure that he can gain a foothold in the Jadesons.”

“That’s right, Devin. You have to be on the alert for his tricks. After all, I can’t even read his mind now.”

Surprisingly, Stephen chose to stand by Jasmine’s side now.

Devin couldn’t help but frown upon hearing it.

“Dad, what are you saying? I mean, he only brought the kids home. What kind of tricks can he play? He knows he had three kids after what happened to Calvin. So, isn’t it logical for him to bring them back to Oceanic Estate?”

Jasmine was furious as Devin still supported Sebastian.

“Are you silly? How will you stay as the Jadesons’ successor after he brings the three kids home? In case you forgot, Sebastian is the son of the late Shin. Now that Sebastian has three kids, how can you compete with him?”

“That’s right, Devin. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you this before—When I served some tea to Granduncle Jonathan, I happened to overhear his conversation with the butler. He said he had to train Ian to become a qualified successor.” At that time, even Kira chimed in.
