Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“What? W-Why me then? After all, there are plenty of people in the Jadeson family for him to pick from, including Devin’s mother and Janice.” Sasha was shocked to hear Sebastian’s words.

Unexpectedly, Sebastian sneered as soon as Sasha mentioned those names. “Don’t you know what kind of person Jasmine is? As for Janice, she’s only an extended family member and has no right to be involved in the Jadesons’ management. Besides, her ability is ordinary at best.”

While he was speaking, the disdain on Sebastian’s face intensified, perhaps because he recalled the incident at the feast back then.

Thanks to that explanation, Sasha had a better understanding of that matter.

Still, she could not comprehend it in its fullness.

Of course, she would grasp the entire matter if she knew Jonathan saw Sebastian and herself as his final hope to revive the Jadeson family.

That was especially true for Sebastian, as he was the foremost person Jonathan wanted to cultivate.

Jonathan was well aware of the decline of the Jadesons after his retirement. However, it seemed like letting Charles hold a central role in the military or promoting Devin did not improve anything whatsoever.

Even though Charles looked like he had authority in the military because of his family background, the people who submitted to him were meager in truth.

That was evident during the besiegement of Sebastian, where no one in the military spoke out for him even when many people had perished. Some even added insult to the injury at the White House at that time.
